Cotton-padded clothes are not as valuable as food. Although there is cotton in the warehouse, it takes a lot of time to make them. We only managed to make about thirty sets after all our efforts. Quilts are easier to make, but we don't need that many. We also prepared thirty quilts, which should be enough. Quilts can be shared anyway.
The next day when Han Yu came back, he saw two carts full of things in the yard.
"Wife, what are you doing? Where are these gifts going? Are you sending them back home to your parents?" Han Yu was no wonder he thought so. As the world was not doing well, Su Wenyue had often sent gifts to her parents and brother and sister-in-law in the village. So when Han Yu saw the two cars full of things, he subconsciously thought they were being sent back to the village. However, there were too many things. Nowadays, the currency was worthless and prices were very high. These two cars alone would cost a lot of money.
"Wife, I know you are filial and respectful to your brother and sister-in-law, but there is no need to send so many things. The money I brought back is small, and these are your private savings. You have to save them and don't spend them all on this, especially in this difficult world. Besides, our family has already separated. There is a saying that goes "a little bit of kindness is worth a lot of hatred", and our Han family has no reason to let our daughter-in-law's dowry support us."
"My husband, I am not..."
Su Wenyue was interrupted by Han Yu before she could finish her words. Han Yu felt that his wife was really virtuous, but he didn't want her to work so hard. During that time, his wife was still busy and hard-working even though she was pregnant.
"I know you are not incapable of managing the household, but you are willing to treat my parents and brother and sister-in-law well for me. You would rather save some money than let them suffer. But I also feel sorry for you, my wife, who works so hard but gives the fruits of your labor to others."
Although Han Yu misunderstood what she meant, Su Wenyue was still very happy to hear these words. It seemed that her efforts were not in vain. Between her and his family, the balance in Han Yu's heart undoubtedly tilted towards her, which was why he said these words.
"Husband, you misunderstood. These things are not to be sent back to my hometown. I sent a lot of things to my parents and my brother and sister-in-law a few days ago. They should be enough for the New Year. You can just give them New Year gifts during the New Year. These things are for you to take with you tomorrow."
Because everything was put away, Han Yu did not open it to look. After hearing what Su Wenyue said, Han Yu went to look at the things in the car, and instantly understood Su Wenyue's intention. This moved and benefited him more than sending the things back to the village. His wife could think of these things, which showed how much she cared about his affairs, so she thought of these details. Moreover, such a big thing was not a small thing that could be taken out casually. From this, it can also be seen that his wife is a generous person, not like other women who haggle over small interests.
"Wife, there are too many of these things. If you really want to help me, just take out half of them. Life is not easy nowadays. We have three children to raise and so many servants. We can't spend all our family savings at once." Although Han Yu knew that Su Wenyue had collected a lot of food and medicinal materials, he thought it was limited. After all, Han Yu didn't ask much about the affairs of the family, so he really didn't know.
It's not that Han Yu doesn't care. On the one hand, he is busy with things in the camp, and secondly, he trusts Su Wenyue's opinion. With a nanny following his wife, there is no need to worry that she will make mistakes due to lack of experience. The old nanny knows a lot of things, especially about things in the inner house, and she will give reminders at any time.
"Don't worry, this little bit of stuff won't drain our family's savings. Your wife is capable. In such a cold winter, if we are short of food and clothing, we will already be at a disadvantage."
Su Wenyue was somewhat proud when she said this, she really didn't care about this little food. Today the farm had a good harvest, but not a single grain of food was sold, as it was all hastily stored. There were also high-yield crops like sweet potatoes, and Han Yu would never have thought that she would be so generous. She sold everything in the family, including the 'money for supporting the family' given to her by Han Yu, and even the jewellery in the bottom of the box. She exchanged all the money for buying medicinal materials and food, which were scarce and expensive in the future. These things were bought through the Su family's channels, which saved a lot of expenses. Not only on the farm, Su Wenyue thought about the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows, and also stored a lot in several other places.
Han Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard Su Wenyue's loud tone. It seemed that his wife was more capable and intelligent than he had imagined. Perhaps it was due to that "dream". Not only his wife, but as far as he knew, the Su family had also saved a lot of things, all of which were bought at great expense of money. Now they were benefiting from it.
"Well, I'll take these things to the barracks." Han Yu knew that Su Wenyue was not lying, so he didn't refuse. He really needed these things. With them, his chances of winning would be two points higher. At least he wouldn't have to fight the enemy on an empty stomach. No matter how strong his fighting spirit was, his fighting power would be weakened in such cold weather. As for whether it was Su Wenyue's dowry, Han Yu no longer bothered about it. If he continued to bother about it, he would have failed his wife's painstaking efforts.
"I've prepared some dry food and a pot of wine to ward off the cold, but I've only prepared some medicinal herbs for you to use when necessary. After all, medicinal herbs are not like food, and they don't need to be used all the time. And there aren't that many to distribute to everyone, so you'll have to figure it out on your own. There are also clothes and quilts. So many quilts should be enough. As for clothes, I only found out about this last night, so I can only get these. You can give them to those who need them more." Su Wenyue told Han Yu what she had prepared so that he would have an idea.
As for Han Yu, Su Wenyue naturally would not forget it and prepared another one. The outer coat was made of mink fur, which was very warm, and there was also a small package. Su Wenyue handed it to Han Yu solemnly.
"Husband, these are pills and powders, not much, but unlike the other ones, these herbs are very valuable and effective. They are said to be made from recipes passed down from our ancestors. If it weren't for my grandfather's connections, I wouldn't be able to get them. They are kept for you to save your life. Don't take them out easily, and don't give them to others unless it's necessary."
Su Wenyue said solemnly, in fact, they are not so precious. Two of them were prepared by her herself. The effect is indeed good. They are not available at this time. They are the prescriptions she got in her previous life, but they are in the name of her grandfather. Su Wenyue knew that Han Yu was a loyal person and was never stingy with his subordinates. She was afraid that he would spend all the things she prepared in a few lavish ways, and she would end up with nothing, so she had to remind him like this.
