After saying that, he took the chicken from Xu Han's basin and continued plucking its feathers. Seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately took the chicken and continued plucking its feathers.

Fortunately, the family members were quite skilled at this, and they processed the chicken quickly. However, it was winter, and it got dark early. They had only processed half of the chicken when it began to get dark.

Xu Han got up to cook, while Lu Chuan and the others moved into the kitchen to continue processing the chicken.

The kitchen was warm with a fire burning while they cooked dinner.

After a simple dinner, they continued plucking the chickens. The four of them worked until after eight o'clock before they finally finished cleaning all the chickens.

Xu Han rubbed her dizzy head and said with dissatisfaction, "My God, it's finally all done. I can't slaughter so many chickens at once next time. This whole afternoon has made me want to throw up whenever I see chickens."

Lu Chuan shook his arm and agreed, "Next time, do less of it; it's really not easy to handle."

"The main problem is that we processed too many chickens this afternoon, and we were all in a bit of a rush, which is why we felt so uncomfortable."

All domesticated chickens are the same; they take a lot of time to prepare.

In her previous life, Xu Han's parents never slaughtered the chickens at home themselves. They would take them directly to the chicken market, pay them to process them, and the process was very quick.

If you try to do it at home, you have to boil water to remove the hair and then gut and clean it, which is really time-consuming. Most people don't want to do it because they think it's too much trouble.

When we buy chicken, it's usually already prepared by the vendor, which is very convenient.

But there's no one here to help. If we want to eat them, we have to do it ourselves. We've never handled so many chickens at once before. Slaughtering more than fifty chickens today is definitely a lot.

Furthermore, the slaughter took place in the afternoon, and time was limited. It might have been better to handle it during the day.

Grandpa Zhao picked up a few chickens and looked at them. "Fortunately, they're almost all taken care of. We can put these away and wash them again tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately gave up, saying, "Lu Chuan, you can wash it. I really don't want to do it anymore."

If this continues, Xu Han probably won't be able to see chickens for a long time. The other two are elders who can't be controlled, but she can still control her own husband.

So she felt perfectly justified in directing Lu Chuan, who smiled indulgently and agreed.

Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although she knew Lu Chuan wouldn't refuse, she was still a little embarrassed, since it was her suggestion to slaughter the larger rooster.

Now that you've killed yourself and don't want to deal with it, aren't you just asking for trouble?

The Taoist priest said, "Alright, it's cold today, so don't linger here. Pack your things and get some rest."

Lu Chuan agreed, "Alright, Master, you and Grandpa Zhao go back first, I'll take care of things here."

The two did not refuse and got up to leave.

When Lu Chuan and Xu Han finished packing and returned to their room, the two children were already asleep.

Xu Han tucked the blankets around the two brothers, a smile playing on her lips. "These two brothers are getting easier and easier to manage."

Lu Chuan watched his wife cover their two sons with blankets and was very unhappy that the two children were sleeping there. He said with a jealous look, "Once this year's cold weather is over, it's time for them to sleep on their own. The two children are not young anymore, and it's not good for them to continue sleeping like this."

Xu Han thought about it and agreed. So she didn't object. "Okay, we'll clean up the east room in the spring so that the two children can live there."

Mu'er is already four years old this year. She should have been sleeping in a separate room from her parents a long time ago, but because there is also Ze'er, he is very attached to Mu'er.

Xu Han was worried about the two children sleeping together. After all, the younger one was still too young and needed help with everything, so how could she let them sleep in a room alone? That's why it had been delayed until now.

After spring arrives, both children will be older, and the weather won't be cold anymore, so we can give it a try.

Lu Chuan wrapped his arms around Xu Han's waist from behind and bit her earlobe. "Wife, you said it yourself."

God knows how stifling I feel with those two kids around...

Xu Han felt an intense itch when Lu Chuan bit her earlobe. She tried to push him away but couldn't, and only offered a small resistance.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately picked Xu Han up and carried her through the night...

Afterwards, Xu Han kicked Lu Chuan hard, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Chuan, quite soberly, fetched some hot water and helped Xu Han wipe herself down.

He thought to himself, "My wife is very clean. If she finds out I didn't wash her tomorrow, she'll definitely beat me up."

Although Xu Han's punches felt like mere tickles, Lu Chuan didn't want to upset his wife for no reason...

The next day, Xu Han overslept again, as expected. When she got up, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest were not at home. She asked them and found out that the two had gone hunting in the mountains again.

"Are they coming back today?"

Grandpa Zhao looked up and replied, "Not necessarily. The Taoist priest said that if he goes too far, he won't come back, but he will definitely be back tomorrow."

"That's fine then, you go ahead with your work." Xu Han said and went back to the front yard, intending to make some sweet potato liquor.

Xu Han has almost finished the sweet potato liquor she made last year, so she plans to make more this year.

I hope to make more fruit wine next year. Right now, apart from the mulberry wine I made in the spring, we don't have any other fruit wine at home.

When there are more fruits next year, we need to soak more. Fruit wine that has been aged for a longer time tastes better and doesn't cause headaches.

Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun wrote to me a while ago, saying that they definitely wouldn't be able to come back for the New Year this year. So Xu Han thought she should make more so that Yunhua could come and collect it later.

Xu Han definitely can't finish making all the sweet potatoes today, so she'll clean them first and then work on them little by little later.

After washing sweet potatoes all day, Xu Han was exhausted and her back ached. She cursed inwardly, "This is no easy job. Who can help me?" She was on the verge of tears.

Why is it that everyone else who transmigrates is a princess from a noble family, but she's in a time of famine and chaos? And she has to do all the work herself. Many times, Xu Han really wanted to quit; it was just too tiring.

Although I like this kind of life, working every day is really tiring, and I want to rest.

Xu Han got angrier and angrier, so she simply put it away. Oh well, she'd better wait until tomorrow when there are people at home and help with the washing. There's just too much of it, and it's too slow to wash it all by herself. It'll be faster if we wash it all together when there are more people tomorrow.

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest weren't home, and Xu Han didn't want to just eat whatever was available. After all, there were two children and an elderly person at home, and even if she didn't want to eat, she still had to cook something.
