Du Yuhan had already taken apart and washed Han Yixian and Liu Gang's cotton-padded coats at home. The same went for the cotton quilts.
Du Yuhan even took apart and washed Han Yixian and Liu Gang's military overcoats. Du Yuhan prepared all their winter clothes to ensure that Han Yixian and Liu Gang had clean clothes to wear.
She also made herself a new cotton-padded coat. She told others that she bought the cotton with the tickets given to her by Han Yixian, but in reality, she took it out of her spatial storage when she found an opportunity.
She also took some time to go to the city alone and send a lot of things to her adoptive parents. There was cotton and cloth, as well as some dried goods and health supplements.
Winters in Northeast China are too cold, so she had to make sure her adoptive parents' family was warm enough.
Before the weather turned cold, Du Yuhan took some time to make cotton shoes for the three of them.
The family had collected quite a few rabbit skins, all of which had been tanned. Du Yuhan made a rabbit skin rug for everyone. That way, they could stay warm in the winter.
She also sent one to her eldest and second eldest brothers, who also needed it very much.
Her adoptive parents had plenty of rabbit skins, so they didn't need her.
Before winter arrived, Du Yuhan prepared all the warm clothes and other necessities she would need for the winter.
When almost all the leaves had fallen, she would often carry a basket to the mountainside to collect dried leaves. These dried leaves were stored in burlap sacks and served as food for the rabbits during the winter.
Du Yuhan asked Liu Gang to ask Director Yao to get some wooden planks, and then directed Liu Gang and Yuan Qiwen to order several wooden crates that were not particularly tall and had no lids on top.
She filled the wooden box with soil and placed it inside the house. Inside the box were some chive roots she had dug up from the chive patch in the yard. Chives are easy to grow; they started sprouting green shoots the day after they were planted.
Chives are a plant that will continue to grow after being cut, and they don't have high requirements for the environment, which is why Du Yuhan chose to grow chives.
Besides chives, Du Yuhan also planted cilantro and lettuce. These two vegetables also continue to grow after the leaves are removed, so they can be reused repeatedly.
Du Yuhan also placed some aquatic garlic sprouts on a plate. The garlic sprouts grew very quickly with the added diluted well water.
So while the leaves had all fallen and everything was desolate, the house in the courtyard was lush and green. Chives, lettuce, and cilantro were all growing very well, adding a pleasant vitality to the house.
The chives had grown to a ripe size, and Du Yuhan cut them off with scissors to make a batch of chive and egg dumplings.
Being able to eat chive dumplings in the dead of winter is truly a wonderful thing.
In addition to growing some vegetables in the wooden box, Du Yuhan also bought a lot of various beans.
Soybeans, mung beans, and green beans can all be used to sprout beans.
The autumn spinach that Du Yuhan had deliberately planted late in the yard had grown quite large before the weather turned cold. Du Yuhan and Liu Gang pulled them all up by the roots, then bundled them up and buried them in the cellar, where they could be preserved for a long time without rotting.
Before the weather turned cold, Du Yuhan harvested all the tomatoes from the tomato vines, cooked them in a large pot to make tomato sauce, and then sealed them in canning jars for long-term preservation. These were vegetables used to improve their lives in winter.
Liu Gang and Yuan Qiwen were amazed by Du Yuhan's methods. They were truly impressed that vegetables could be preserved in this way during winter.
A month after Du Yuhan returned, she received a letter from her second brother. The letter was sent to the school as requested by Du Yuhan. Du Yuhan picked it up when she went to the school.
He Zhendong's letter to Du Yuhan contained only some greetings and made no mention of the secret warehouse. This was also for Du Yuhan's safety. Along with the letter came some money and tickets.
Now that He Zhendong has a younger sister, he knows to save up his coupons. Especially cloth coupons, he needs to save them to buy new clothes for his sister.
He would save the other tickets as long as he thought his sister might need them, and he would never give them away to others casually again.
He Zhendong saves all his allowance himself, even if his family doesn't give it to him. He used to spend it all on himself, but now that he has a younger sister, he has to give some to her. He Zhendong's potential to be a doting brother to his sister is no joke.
Du Yuhan felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the money and tickets her second brother had sent her. Both her brothers had been very good to her in her past life, and in this life they had recognized each other earlier. She hoped they could still get along happily like they had in their past life.
Not only He Zhendong sent money and tickets to Du Yuhan, but He Zhenhua and his wife He Chenglin also sent money and tickets to her. They all wanted to try their best to make up for what they owed Du Yuhan in the past.
With the financial support of her family, Du Yuhan is showing signs of becoming a wealthy young woman.
There was no wind that day, and the weather was fine. Du Yuhan asked Liu Gang to stay home and take care of Han Yixian, while she went into the mountains to collect tree leaves.
Ever since the last assassination attempt, Du Yuhan has never dared to leave Han Yixian alone at home again.
Du Yuhan walked leisurely to the foot of the mountain and quickly collected a basket of dried leaves. She chose leaves that the rabbits liked to eat.
Dry leaves are light, and a full basket doesn't weigh much. She always fills a basket to the brim before going home.
When Du Yuhan got home, it was already past ten o'clock. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw a bicycle parked in the yard. It was Yuan Qiwen's bicycle. She wondered to herself, shouldn't Yuan Qiwen be at school at this time? Why was he at home at this time?
She put the basket in the yard, fed the rabbit some food, and then went inside.
As soon as she entered the living room, she heard a noise coming from the west room where she lived. Du Yuhan saw that the door to the west room was open. She lifted the curtain and saw a young girl inside. She recognized the girl; it was Han Yixian's younger sister, Han Yiping.
The brand-new military jacket that Han Yiping was wearing was the same jacket that Han Yixian had given her a few days ago, which Du Yuhan had just altered.
Du Yuhan's room was also ransacked by Han Yiping.
Du Yuhan's face immediately darkened as she said, "Who are you? Why are you rummaging through my things without my permission?"
Han Yixian and the others in the east room came out as soon as they heard Du Yuhan's voice.
When Yuan Qiwen arrived at the door of the west room, he saw that Du Yuhan's room had been ransacked in just a short time. He immediately scolded her, "Cousin, how could you go through other people's things like that? Look how messed up Yuhan's room is!"
"And isn't that Yuhan's outfit you're wearing? You weren't wearing this just now. This outfit was a gift from your older cousin to Yuhan. Take it off right now."
Han Yiping touched the slightly oversized new clothes she was wearing and said, "I knew this nanny couldn't possibly have military uniforms to wear. Since my older brother gave them to her, there's nothing wrong with me wearing them. These are our family's clothes to begin with. Besides, does a nanny deserve to wear such nice clothes?"
Liu Gang had been working with Han Yixian for two years and knew Han Yiping. He had always disliked Han Yiping, who had a self-important attitude. Han Yiping always acted superior and looked down on people from the countryside like them.
It's really rude of you to go through someone else's things without Du Yuhan's permission.
