"Thank goodness for them." Lu Chuan said with a satisfied look as he looked at Mu'er, who was already asleep.
When the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were about to come, Lu Chuan was reluctant, but for some reason he eventually agreed to their arrival.
When I learned that Grandpa Zhao was a miracle doctor, my first reaction was that my health was assured.
Later, when they encountered wolves, tigers, and villagers from the foot of the mountain, Lu Chuan was thankful countless times that Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest were there for him.
Rather than saying that the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao came here to find peace and quiet, it would be more accurate to say that they came to help Lu Chuan and Xu Han get through this year of disaster.
Of course, Lu Chuan was also well aware that the reason the Taoist priest came was not as simple as he claimed, and there must be some reasons that were inconvenient for the two of them to know.
Since the Taoist priest was unwilling to talk about it, Lu Chuan and Xu Han chose not to ask any further questions. In any case, the priest had not caused them any harm or trouble.
On the contrary, they helped Xu Han and Lu Chuan a lot, and most importantly, with Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest helping to educate the child, Lu Chuan was completely at ease.
The children raised by those two exceptionally talented individuals will undoubtedly be far superior to those raised by a simple, uncouth man like myself.
Mu'er, who is only a little over a year old, is being taught very well by the two of them, one teaching martial arts and the other teaching literature. Lu Chuan and Xu Han are quite satisfied with this.
The next day, the snow continued to fall, but it was light snow, stopping and starting intermittently, and this continued for two days.
Over the past two days, everyone has been chopping firewood at home. Yunhua's room is already full of firewood, but there is still some left to chop. It is estimated that it will all be chopped in one day.
On the third day, Xu Han woke up early in the morning and saw the sun, which she hadn't seen for many days.
"Finally the sun is out! Hopefully it won't snow this time!" Xu Han said lazily, stretching.
"That won't happen anymore, but I don't know how many days the weather will last," Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.
"It's already mid-January, so even if it snows, it probably won't. It's getting hot, so it'll probably rain," Xu Han said.
"That's not necessarily true. What if the sun only shines for two or three days? At the current temperature, it's still possible that it will snow," the Taoist priest said coldly.
"Huh? We're going to go down again?" Xu Han exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape.
"I never said I would continue playing. Don't accuse me."
"Hey, I thought you were getting your fortune told." Xu Han's heart settled down after hearing the Taoist priest's words.
Thank goodness, it would have been much more difficult if it had snowed.
Every day, the first thing I see when I open my eyes is a vast expanse of white, which is particularly glaring.
"They say the melting snow is colder than the snowy days, so you two need to take good care of Mu'er these next few days. Make sure to add layers of clothing for her as needed, so she doesn't catch a cold," Grandpa Zhao instructed.
"I understand, Grandpa Zhao," Lu Chuan replied.
"Forget it, forget it. Neither of you has ever taken care of a child before. I don't trust you with this. I'll just have to be careful myself!" Grandpa Zhao had no faith in the new parents, Xu Han and Lu Chuan.
The two, who had never taken care of a child before, were initially overwhelmed. Things only got better as the child grew a little older. If it weren't for Grandpa Zhao's help, Mu'er would probably have gotten sick from all the stress.
With Grandpa Zhao's help, Mu'er has never been sick since she was a child.
The Taoist priest, who was also an elder, was completely different from Grandpa Zhao. He let the child grow up in a very hands-off manner. Xu Han really felt sorry for Yunhua and wondered how he had grown up to be so big.
The Taoist priest deserves a lot of credit for Yunhua's current resilience.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa Zhao. What would you like to eat, Grandpa Zhao? I'll make it for you," Xu Han said with a flattering smile.
"You silly girl, you're only easy to talk to at times like this," Grandpa Zhao said with a chuckle.
"Hehe," Xu Han said with an embarrassed smile.
It's rare to have such nice weather today. As the sun gets stronger, the snow that hadn't been cleared from the rooftops is slowly melting.
It flowed down the eaves, dripping and pattering.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly took out the wooden basins and buckets from his home and placed them under the eaves to collect the water.
The snow in the yard was also cleared away in time to prevent a lot of water from accumulating.
Once the ground is completely dry, Mu'er can come out to play. She's been cooped up inside for over ten days and is already tired of it.
Lu Chuan had just finished cleaning the yard when Mu'er ran out to play.
"Mu'er, you can play in the yard, but don't run around, okay? Mother will make you new clothes." Xu Han took out the fabric and tools, put a table in the yard, and started preparing to cut clothes while watching over Mu'er.
Spring is coming soon, but Mu'er doesn't have any spring clothes yet.
Since his previous clothes were definitely no longer suitable, Xu Han made him a few changeable undergarments and outer garments in advance so he could wear them when the weather got warmer.
Not only should we make two for Mu'er, but everyone else in the family should also make two.
I didn't make any last fall; I wore clothes that I made in the spring.
Since we have some time now, I'll make two new outfits for everyone.
There are many people in the family, and making clothes is a huge project. Luckily, Xu Han has a small sewing machine, otherwise it would take her a long time to make clothes for just a few people.
I bet they're never free in the winter; they're probably making clothes whenever they have a spare moment.
But now with this little sewing machine, the speed is much faster, and the clothes everyone needs can be made in ten days to half a month.
As for shoes, we can make some when we have time. However, Xu Han had nothing to do during the drought, so she made many pairs of shoes for everyone.
Everyone still has a few pairs of new shoes that they haven't worn yet.
When I have time, I only need to make some for Mu'er.
Because Mu'er is still quite young and growing very fast, Xu Han was afraid that if she made the clothes in advance, they wouldn't be able to wear them later. So she didn't make many clothes and shoes for Mu'er, and only started making them when needed.
Since Mu'er is relatively young, it's quick to make clothes for her, and she can even make them on the spot when needed. Therefore, Xu Han is not in a hurry to make too many clothes for Mu'er.
Xu Han only needs to make three or four sets of clothes to replace each season. She didn't throw away the clothes that she couldn't wear anymore, because they can still be worn when she has her second child, and then she won't need to make any more.
The clothes are so durable that they won't wear out, and since they're for one's own child, there's absolutely no problem giving them to the second child.
Who hasn't worn other people's hand-me-downs when they were little? It's not that we couldn't afford to buy new clothes, but children grow up quickly and there's not much need for them.
Moreover, worn clothes are softer, which is actually better for babies.
