"Hehehe, it's almost ready to be dug out, so I was thinking of getting it out first before going home for dinner," Lu Chuan said sheepishly.

"You scared me! I thought something had happened to you. I'm glad you're alright." Xu Han said, then stood aside and watched the two of them dig up the tree roots.

It has to be said that this tree root is really big, and its shape is also particularly beautiful.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste to use this for firewood?" Xu Han said, looking at the tree roots that had been dug up.

Grandpa Zhao examined it carefully and said, "It is a bit of a waste. This could be used as a decoration."

“This tree root is so big, if we process it properly, we might be able to make a small table. It would look really nice to put in the yard,” Xu Han said.

“We’ll pick a few more suitable ones and make them into stools. They’ll look great together,” Lu Chuan added.

"Yes, they can also be used to make flower stands and for landscaping. It seems that tree roots have a lot of uses. It would be a waste to burn them directly as firewood."

Let's pick out some of the nicer-looking ones to keep for now, and work on them later when we have more time.

Xu Han became more and more excited as she thought about it. In modern times, many people use tree roots to create landscapes or to make tables and chairs, and the results are excellent. Why didn't she think of doing that before?

It's not too late to think about it now. Fortunately, the tree roots haven't been damaged and are still usable. Besides, we don't have time to deal with these things now. Clearing the hillside is the most important thing.

"Okay, then be careful when digging up tree roots in the future, and try not to damage them. We'll pick out the good ones to use later," Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

Grandpa Zhao is clearly very interested in these tree roots. Having seen all sorts of garden arrangements, he'll definitely create an even more beautiful landscape.

Moreover, Grandpa Zhao is the kind of person who is cultured and has a refined taste, so he would definitely be very interested in these things.

Unfortunately, these things couldn't be done before due to the weather, but thankfully the weather will be normal in the future, and these things will be possible.

When it comes to enjoying life, Grandpa Zhao is definitely much better than Xu Han. After all, Grandpa Zhao has seen the world and his vision is certainly very broad.

With Grandpa Zhao's words in mind, Lu Chuan became more careful when digging up the tree roots. If he damaged the roots, his wife would definitely not forgive him.

After a great deal of effort, the two finally managed to dig out the large tree root.

Xu Han was increasingly satisfied with what she saw and asked, "This tree root is really big, and the trunk is quite thick too. Is it the root of the thickest tree from before?"

"That's the one. We'll dry it and keep it as timber," Lu Chuan said.

The large trunks of the trees that were cut down this time were separated and kept for timber, while the smaller trunks and branches were used as firewood.

We worked so hard to cut them down, so we can't waste them; we have to make the most of them.

After digging out the tree roots, the three of them went home together for dinner.

"Come and try today's new dish, cilantro beef," Xu Han said enthusiastically.

"I've never seen this cooking method before. I'm quite curious to see what it will taste like," Grandpa Zhao said, looking at the dishes Xu Han brought over, eager to try them.

"I guarantee it'll be delicious, everyone should try it!" Xu Han said, then sat down and began preparing to eat.

As expected, the cilantro beef received unanimous praise, and Lu Chuan said he would eat this dish again tomorrow.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while. In the afternoon, Xu Han took the children to the hillside to help out.

I've finished all the chores at home, and I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so I might as well go over to the hillside and help tidy up some things.

So Xu Han put Ze'er's crib into her spatial storage, and Lu Chuan carried Mu'er while Xu Han carried Ze'er as they went to the hillside.

Fortunately, the afternoon sun was still very nice, and the weather wasn't cold. Ze'er could sleep outside covered with a blanket without getting cold, and he could also bask in the sun.

As soon as they reached this side of the hill, Mu'er couldn't wait to slide off Lu Chuan's back and start digging in the dirt with the little wooden shovel Lu Chuan had made for her.

Xu Han took out the small bed from her spatial storage, then placed Ze'er inside it and covered it with a gauze to prevent anything from falling on Ze'er.

After all, this is on a hillside, and with spring approaching and the weather getting warmer, it wouldn't be good if insects fell down.

It has to be said that Xu Han now truly understands what it means to raise the first child by the book and the second child like a pig.

When Mu'er was little, conditions were not good, and she was raised with great care, with people being afraid of this and that, and always being very careful.

When it comes to Ze'er, who is only two months old, his parents have already taken him to stay in the fields. It's really incomparable.

It's true that there aren't enough people, plus Xu Han probably doesn't want to stay home to take care of the children.

That's how they brought Ze'er to this side of the hill, so Xu Han could work while keeping an eye on him.

In this era, how many children can grow up in a greenhouse? After all, both parents have to work, and some women don't even have a proper postpartum period; they have to go back to work in the fields after giving birth.

The little child had no one to look after him at home, so he had to be taken to the fields to work and take care of him at the same time.

However, Xu Han has not reached that point yet. She just stayed at home for a long time today, and since the sun was shining, she brought Ze'er out.

We'll take Ze'er back in a little while. After all, Xu Han's family isn't at the point where they have to take care of a two-month-old baby while working in the fields.

So, while Mu'er played nearby, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao continued digging tree roots, and Xu Han took the opportunity to tidy up the tree roots they had dug up, and also picked up the roots and stems in the ground and piled them together, so that they could be transported to the open space later.

After staying in the field for about an hour, Lu Chuan urged Xu Han to take the child away quickly.

"Wife, Ze'er should wake up soon. You should take them both back first," Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go back and cook dinner first. Keep an eye on the time, I won't come to call you later," Xu Han said.

"Alright, Mu'er, go home with your mother now," Lu Chuan said to his eldest son, who was digging in the dirt nearby.

"Don't go home." Mu'er replied with dissatisfaction when her father called her, clearly not having had enough fun yet.

"Are you sure you don't want to go home? If you don't go home with your mother now, you'll have to wait with your father until it gets dark before you can go home," Lu Chuan asked.

"I'm not going home, I'm going to play with Daddy~" Mu'er said firmly.
