Before Xu Han could react, he took a bite, and the bitter walnut shell instantly filled his mouth, causing Ze'er to burst into tears.
Xu Han was startled by the sudden crying and hurriedly checked Ze'er to see if he was injured anywhere.
I looked for a long time but didn't see Ze'er fall down. I was wondering why! Suddenly I noticed the walnuts in Ze'er's hand that she hadn't had time to throw away.
Seeing this, Xu Han quickly took the walnut and saw that there were clear marks left by two small milk teeth on the walnut. She then pried open Ze'er's mouth to see if there were any more inside.
"You brat, how could you be so reckless? Now look what happened, let's see if you dare to put everything in your mouth next time."
Although he said that, he still picked up Ze'er and patiently coaxed him.
Lu Chuan, who was dealing with the bison in the backyard, heard Ze'er crying and rushed over, "What's wrong with Ze'er?"
Xu Han looked at Lu Chuan and explained, "It's okay. He just bit into a raw walnut shell, so his mouth feels a little astringent. I'll carry him out for a walk, and he'll be fine."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she picked up Ze'er and walked outside. When the dogs in the house saw this, they all ran out after her.
I took Ze'er for a stroll around the yard gate, looking at the flowers and plants planted outside. Now, these flowers and plants have all begun to go dormant because of the weather.
These flowers are quite cold-resistant and will sprout on their own next year.
Xu Han dug up some cold-sensitive flowers and temporarily placed them in the woodshed, planning to replant them next spring.
The two walked around the courtyard gate for a while. Ze'er had stopped crying, and Xu Han carried Ze'er towards the wasteland.
I've been away from home for half a month. When I came back yesterday, it was already completely dark, and I couldn't see what the crops in the fields were like.
Upon closer inspection, we discovered that the radishes were ripe and ready to be harvested, as were the other winter vegetables. These vegetables needed to be brought home before the ground freezes, otherwise they would all be ruined by the freezing temperatures.
The wheat in the field is growing very well, a lush green expanse stretching as far as the eye can see, which is particularly beautiful. However, since no one has been tending to it recently, the weeds are growing very fast. It seems we need to find some time to weed it.
As we walked, we arrived at the fishpond. The fish in the pond had grown quite large. We would usually take them out to eat, and occasionally we would add new fish fry.
The lotus roots in the pond have completely withered, and the lotus seeds were all harvested when they were ripe. It seems we need to find some time to dig out the lotus roots.
I thought I had finished all the chores at home, but being away for a while has brought up a whole bunch of other work. Being a farmer is really not easy!
Not only does she have to work in the fields, but she also has to process the nuts and other nuts that she has just harvested. In addition, Xu Han plans to pick some nuts near her home as well. Even a small nut is still a nut, and there are quite a few nut trees near her home, so she can pick a lot.
Also, the sweet potato wine that's been fermenting at home will be distilled soon. All I can think about is work; it looks like I'll be busy again.
However, everyone is now used to these tasks and can do them very quickly.
After reading it, Xu Han had a plan in mind. She planned to go home that night and discuss it with everyone to finish these tasks.
Xu Han had just arrived home when Lu Chuan came to the front yard. "You're back. We've just finished dealing with the bison. Take out the rest of the things and we'll deal with them together."
“Okay, I’ll take the child to Grandpa Zhao and ask him to watch him for a while. I’ll handle it with you.”
The three of them worked until it got dark before finally packing up their things.
After a day of processing, all the bison and wild sheep have been dealt with, leaving only some pheasants and rabbits.
The wild boar wasn't processed; it would be sold directly in the county town. Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest didn't particularly like wild boar meat, so Xu Han didn't plan to keep it.
The Taoist priest said, "Let's eat some food from the space tonight. It's already this late, there's no time to cook anything else. Everyone's hungry, let's eat something ready-made."
"Okay, what would you like to eat? I'll go get it."
"Have some stir-fried dishes and rice, and it would be best to have a bowl of soup as well."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han washed her hands and then took out the food.
After dinner, Xu Han told everyone about the work she had seen, and they all agreed to her suggestion and began to implement it.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, they've done a lot, not only finishing all the housework...
We also burned a lot of charcoal. It's already December, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Last year's charcoal supply isn't enough for this year, so we can't go without burning charcoal.
Not only that, the three of them also picked a lot of nuts near their home, which have now all been processed and stored away to eat later.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, after finishing all the chores at home, everyone was chatting and basking in the sun in the courtyard when they received a letter from Yunhua.
Lu Chuan asked, "Is Yunhua still in the capital? The capital isn't far from here, why don't we have him come back for the New Year?"
The Taoist priest opened the letter, glanced through it, and said, "Look, this guy wrote back to tell us he's coming back for the New Year."
Xu Han chuckled and said, "Haha, we're thinking the same thing!"
Then she asked, "Is Yunyun in the same place as Yunhua now?"
Grandpa Zhao replied, "Yunyun has gone to the border, and Yunhua is in the capital. I don't think Yunyun will be able to come back this time."
"Why don't we write to Yunyun and ask her? We're worried about her being out there by herself during the New Year."
The Taoist priest also said, "That's right, so many of us haven't celebrated the New Year together yet. Anyway, Yunyun isn't a military doctor in the army; she's just going there to take a look and help some people. The border isn't too far from here, so it won't take long to travel there."
Grandpa Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, after all, he hadn't seen his granddaughter for a long time.
Moreover, due to various reasons in recent years, we have seen each other less often, and we haven't spent Chinese New Year together for many years.
Now that the natural disasters are over, life isn't so stressful anymore, so it's nice to have my granddaughter come back for the New Year.
Upon hearing this, Xu Han smiled even more happily and skipped back to her room. "I'm going to write a letter."
"Haha, the girl loves excitement the most, look how happy she is."
Lu Chuan also said with a smile, "Let's have a lively and happy New Year this year."
"Now that they're both back for the New Year, we can't just make do like we always do this year. We need to get everything ready so we can have a proper get-together."
