Transmigrated to a Famine Year: I Madly Hoard Supplies

Spring planting and autumn harvest, daily life. There are no imperial relatives. The space is used for hoarding items and storing things.

Xu Han woke up to find herself transmigrated to an al...

Chapter 355 Let's Pick Mushrooms!

Mu'er is two years older than Ze'er, so no matter how fierce Ze'er is, he can't beat his older brother.

Without any toys in her hands, Ze'er immediately burst into tears.

No one interfered in the brothers' dispute; instead, they let them resolve it themselves.

Unlike other parents, Xu Han doesn't always let the older child give way to the younger one.

Since Ze'er is quick and always snatches his brother's toys, it's only right that his brother disciplines him.

不过沐儿还是很疼爱弟弟的,弟弟都这么过分了,还没有开始动手揍他,只是把抢过去的玩具拿回来了。

Finally, Xu Han couldn't stand it anymore and picked Ze'er up. "You deserve it. Who told you to always snatch toys from your brother? Your brother has already let you have them, but you still keep snatching them. If you don't cry, who will?"

"Haha, there will be many more of these kinds of things in the future. When Ze'er grows up a bit more, I estimate that the two of them will fight several times a day."

"I'm absolutely certain that Mu'er can't beat Ze'er. Mu'er is too soft-hearted to be ruthless," Grandpa Zhao said.

"Not necessarily. Ze'er is still young now, and Mu'er knows to give way to her younger brother, but who knows what will happen in the future."

"Haha, I don't care how the two of them fight over it in the future, as long as they don't get too badly hurt," Xu Han said with a mischievous grin.

"It's hard not to be biased between two children. The best way is to let them solve the problem themselves."

"What family's siblings don't fight sometimes? As long as they're not bad-hearted, it's not a big problem," Grandpa Zhao said.

Later, just as everyone had said, the two brothers often fought.

However, Xu Han did indeed do as he said, that the two brothers should solve their own problems. As the parent, Xu Han did not interfere in solving the problems, and naturally, she did not allow Lu Chuan to meddle.

Of course, that's all in the future; at least for now, the two brothers won't fight.

The air is always especially fresh after a rain. The family eats and drinks happily in their small courtyard deep in the mountains, making a lot of noise.

Xu Han looked at the children in the yard, the dogs running around, the two respected elders, and her husband grilling barbecue beside her.

Everyone had a smile on their face; at that moment, happiness seemed to be tangible...

The next day, everyone continued doing their work as usual.

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest were splitting bluestone slabs at home. After Xu Han finished cleaning the house, she took a basket and called the dogs to go for a walk in the neighborhood.

Lu Chuan was originally going to accompany her, but Xu Han said she wouldn't go far and would just walk around near her home, so she declined Lu Chuan's suggestion.

After leaving the courtyard, Xu Han started walking into the woods. It was the season for mushrooms to grow, but since it hadn't rained recently, she hadn't gone out to look for them.

Xu Han couldn't sit still any longer after the rain stopped, so she took a small basket and the dogs out by herself.

As Xu Han walked and looked around, she actually found some mushrooms.

"Haha, today's trip was finally worthwhile, we can finally eat some fresh mushrooms."

As Xu Han walked, she used the bamboo stick in her hand to shovel through the grass to prevent any snakes from suddenly appearing.

After the dogs came out, they followed Xu Han around without running far.

At this moment, Xu Han felt as if she had several strong and sturdy bodyguards with her when she went out, and she felt very safe.

Xu Han wandered around the hillside near her home for a while. Every few steps she could see some mushrooms, all sorts of things. Xu Han didn't pick and choose, and collected them all.

The basket was full in no time. I poured the mushrooms from the basket into my spatial storage and continued my search.

It wasn't until almost noon, when the temperature was rising, that Xu Han started walking home.

"You're back. How was the harvest today? Have the mushrooms in the mountains sprouted yet?" Lu Chuan asked eagerly.

"Look, I've picked half a basket of mushrooms in the short time I've been out," Xu Han proudly showed off her harvest.

"You've collected so much in such a short time. I should have gone with you," Lu Chuan said in surprise.

"Haha, let's stir-fry some mixed mushrooms later. In the afternoon, we'll go mushroom picking together. If we can't finish them, we'll dry them and save them to eat slowly later."

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you this afternoon." Lu Chuan had been itching to pick all the mushrooms Xu Han had picked.

"You just picked some mushrooms, what's wrong with you?" the Taoist priest said with a look of disgust.

"You don't understand. You've never picked mushrooms, so you can't comprehend this feeling," Lu Chuan said mysteriously.

"Why do you make picking mushrooms sound like picking up money?"

"Haha, it feels almost like picking up money. Daoist Master, would you like to try it with us this afternoon?" Xu Han asked with a smile.

"Alright then, I'll go with you guys this afternoon."

"Okay, we'll go after lunch."

"Not taking a nap?" the Taoist priest asked, looking surprised.

"Why bother with a nap? Picking mushrooms is much more enjoyable than a nap," Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"What's happier than the feeling of taking a nap?" Grandpa Zhao asked as he walked in from the backyard.

"We were just talking about going mushroom picking this afternoon! Grandpa Zhao, would you like to come along?"

"Picking mushrooms? Sure, I'll take Mu'er with me. It'll be a good opportunity to teach him about poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms," Grandpa Zhao agreed.

“Sure, I’ll carry Ze’er on my back in front. That way, I can pick mushrooms and keep an eye on the child,” Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Are you sure you want to carry Ze'er on your back?" Xu Han asked incredulously.

"It's alright. Ze'er is too heavy for you, but it's nothing for me. I can carry a wild boar back, so how could I not carry a child?" Lu Chuan said with a smile, thinking to himself that his wife was just too cute.

Xu Han thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. She was much weaker than Lu Chuan, and this amount of weight was practically nothing to Lu Chuan.

At lunchtime, Xu Han made a stir-fried mixed mushroom dish with chili peppers and a mushroom soup as promised. Everyone was very satisfied with today's lunch.

Even Mu'er ate an extra half bowl of rice, which shows she was particularly satisfied with today's meal.

After lunch and a short rest, everyone grabbed their tools and headed into the mountains in a large group.

"Taoist Master, Grandpa Zhao, please look carefully. These mushrooms are edible, but these are not. Don't get them mixed up."

"Don't worry, I recognize all these mushrooms. But you'd better be careful, Taoist priest, or we'll all be doomed," Grandpa Zhao joked.

"Identifying a mushroom is no difficult task, don't worry," the Taoist priest said confidently, patting his chest.

Xu Han opened her mouth as if to say something, but when she remembered that her space could identify poisonous bacteria, she stopped talking.
