Xu Han was still a little confused when she heard this, "Then how could this prince make these rich people bleed money?"
"Haha, I'll keep you in suspense for now. Yunhua will definitely write back in a while, and then you'll find out."
The three chatted about other things for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Lu Chuan took the silver and went down the mountain again.
There were two main purposes for this trip down the mountain. One was to write back to Uncle Zhang and Manager Li, and to remind them about the fighting at the border. However, news of the fighting had been circulating for a long time, and they should have already received the news.
But it's always good to remind them again, so that they can protect themselves and their families in this chaotic world.
Also, the summer harvest is about to begin, and Lu Chuan plans to go to the county town to buy a few more sickles and other tools so that they can be used in rotation with the tools at home, and any broken ones can be replaced in time.
While you're at it, bring some rare toys, snacks, and pastries from the foot of the mountain for the kids at home.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, Xu Han is too lazy to make pastries herself, so she asked Lu Chuan to buy more to prepare, so that she wouldn't have to make them herself.
Although Xu Han can make all kinds of pastries, they are still different from those made by professionals. For some pastries with complicated processes, Xu Han's pastries are not as delicious as those sold in stores.
Xu Han was quite self-aware about this. Professionals should do professional things. It has to be said that the ancient pastries tasted really good.
Many of the dim sum dishes are signature items from the dim sum shop, and they have very unique flavors.
When I didn't have money, I couldn't afford those expensive snacks. Now that I have money, I can buy them more generously and also try some other snacks.
Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao didn't have anything particularly important to do at home. Every day they did the same things: raising chickens and ducks, weeding, and growing vegetables.
As usual, after finishing her own tasks today, Xu Han started making shoes for the family members again.
Other everyday items have very low consumption, but shoes are different; they wear out quickly and often break down.
Especially the shoes of the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan, which would develop a big hole every ten days or half a month, and they would continue to wear them after mending them. A pair of shoes would be worn out every month.
There was no other way; the two of them often worked in the fields, and sometimes they even had to run up the mountain. The long walks naturally wore out their shoes.
Xu Han is so tired of making shoes that she feels like throwing up just looking at them; she doesn't want to do it anymore. She has to make shoes for everyone in her family by herself, which is really troublesome.
Fortunately, there was a small sewing machine at home, otherwise Xu Han would have been even more annoyed, as the speed at which she made shoes couldn't keep up with the speed at which they discarded shoes.
After a busy night, Lu Chuan slowly emerged from the moonlight, carrying a large basket of spoils on his back.
Mu'er knew that her father had gone to the county town to buy things today. In the late afternoon, after finishing her homework, she carried a small stool and sat at the gate of the yard to wait for Lu Chuan to come back.
Seeing her brother sitting at the gate of the courtyard looking out from time to time, Ze'er moved a small stool and sat down next to him.
"Ze'er, let me tell you, Daddy went to the county town to buy us some delicious food. He'll be back in a little while. Let's wait for him here."
The little foodie Ze'er ignored everything her brother was saying as soon as she heard about food. She couldn't understand it anyway, but since her brother was sitting there, there must be food. She just needed to follow him. Her mouth watered instantly.
The two waited and waited, but got a little bored, so they started squatting on the ground counting ants.
"Woof woof woof." The sound of a dog barking came from not far away.
"Ze'er, get up quickly, Father is back."
Because the two of them had been squatting on the ground for too long, Ze'er accidentally fell on his bottom when he stood up.
Mu'er hurriedly pulled Ze'er up. When Ze'er saw his father return, he forgot about crying and ran to his father with Mu'er.
As Mu'er left, she didn't forget to call out into the house, "Mother, Father is back."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han hurriedly came out of the kitchen, and as soon as she stepped outside, she saw two small figures running quickly away.
Grandpa Zhao was worried about the two of them going out alone, so he followed them out.
Seeing this, Xu Han stopped interfering and went back to continue cooking.
Seeing his two sons running towards him from afar, Lu Chuan quickened his pace.
Upon approaching, he picked one up in each arm. It was thanks to Lu Chuan's strength that he was able to carry the two little chubby babies.
"How did you all get out?"
Mu'er hugged Lu Chuan's neck and asked, "Did Daddy buy us any delicious snacks?"
Ze'er also chattered on and on, saying, "Eat~ snacks~ eat."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan was heartbroken, thinking that his two sons missed him because they hadn't seen him for a day.
"Haha, you two ran over here because of the snacks! Father is heartbroken."
Upon seeing this, Mu'er immediately said in a coquettish tone, "I miss my father."
She thought to herself that there shouldn't be any problem with saying that, since she only had snacks when her father came back, and there were no snacks when her father didn't come back.
Hearing his son say this, Lu Chuan instantly felt that his son's love hadn't been wasted. He thought to himself: See, see, I told you my son's love hadn't been wasted.
I wonder how heartbroken Lu Chuan would be if he knew what Mu'er was thinking.
Grandpa Zhao took the basket from Lu Chuan, and the four of them went into the courtyard together.
Once home, the two children couldn't wait to take out the things Lu Chuan had bought that day from their baskets.
"Be careful, there are still sickles inside, don't cut your hands."
After Xu Han finished cooking, she came out again. She was also very curious about the things Lu Chuan had bought today.
As Lu Chuan took things out of his basket, he boasted to Xu Han, "I went early today, and there were still some pastries left in the pastry shop. I bought a pack of each as you instructed, and I also bought two extra packs of the ones you specifically asked me to buy."
"Haha, then we're in for a treat!"
Xu Han casually opened a bag of pastries, gave one to each of the two children, and ate one herself.
Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao didn't eat. "We're about to eat dinner. If we eat snacks, we won't be able to eat a proper meal later."
"Not bad, not bad at all. This pastry is really sweet and delicious, and not greasy at all."
The two children ate happily. Mu'er held the snack in her hands, taking small bites. "Delicious, delicious, I like it too."
"Alright, alright, Mom will put the rest away for you to eat when you want. Dinner is almost ready, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy the delicious sweet and sour pork later."
Upon hearing this, the two children reluctantly finished their snacks, washed their hands, and began to eat their meal.
