Lu Chuan smiled and shook his head. "I ran into Zhu Dajia's two children as soon as I stepped out. I sent the brother and sister to call for help. The older boy is so cute with his chubby face. With them around, our two sons will have playmates from now on."
Xu Han thought about how she looked when she met Zhu Dahu and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She continued, "We've been away from home for quite a few days now. I wonder how those two rascals are doing? Do they miss us?"
"Of course I want to! Don't worry, we'll see them when we go home tomorrow."
"Yes, when we come to the county town the day after tomorrow, we'll bring them both out for a stroll and take them to see our new home."
"Okay, you can decide."
As the two were chatting, they suddenly heard footsteps outside. Lu Chuan immediately stopped talking and helped Xu Han serve rice to everyone.
The couple ate the same food as everyone else tonight.
Everything was cooked in one big pot, and everyone was touched to see Xu Han and Lu Chuan carrying the same food as them.
Xu Han said, "I made a lot for dinner tonight, so everyone eat as much as you want. If you're still hungry, there's more in the pot, so please help yourselves."
Zhang Yi looked at the trays the two were carrying and said, "Madam, let me take the food over for you."
Xu Han waved her hand, "No need, you all eat. Everyone is tired today, so let's get some rest after dinner. Yue Niang, you should all go to bed early too. Don't do needlework tonight, you can't see clearly. You can continue tomorrow!"
Yue Niang smiled gently and said, "Yes, I understand, Madam."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she left without looking back. The two of them each carried a tray and went back to the side hall to eat.
Actually, Xu Han also wanted to eat communal meals with everyone here. Communal meals taste better and are more lively when there are many people.
But the thought that they would feel uncomfortable if he stayed, so he could only go to the side hall to eat with Lu Chuan.
After the two left, the servants immediately started gossiping, "Our master is really generous. He only had noodles for lunch, but he's having chicken for dinner. And the master is eating the same food as us."
It seems we've really found a good employer; we'd better work hard from now on.
Another person chimed in, "Yes, yes, I haven't eaten meat for many years. I've never been full, let alone had meat to eat."
Today has truly been the best day of my life in recent years.
Han Qi listened to everyone's discussion, silently lowered his head and ate the food in his bowl, without saying a word.
He was not a talkative person, and he would never participate in discussions about the master's affairs.
However, if you look closely, you'll notice that as he lowers his head, a smile slowly spreads across his lips, and then the smile grows wider and brighter.
At the same time, I was also thinking to myself: This family is really good; I've really chosen the right person to follow this time. It seems I'll never have to be beaten or bullied again, or get hurt and go hungry.
She secretly made up her mind that she would work hard for her master's family from now on.
The two were naturally unaware of the gossip around them. Xu Han comfortably ate a large bowl of stew from a big pot in the side room, and afterwards, she lay back in a chair with unbridled satisfaction. She lazily asked, "How was it? Delicious, right?"
Lu Chuan cleaned up the remaining food, eating without looking up, and said, "It's delicious, the taste is very good, I can eat it more often in the future."
Xu Han said with a smile, "When we get back, let's cook a big pot of stew so that the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao can have a taste. I bet they've never eaten anything like this before."
“Sure! Let’s go to bed early tonight and head out early tomorrow morning to buy all the materials so we can get home as soon as possible.”
The two planned to buy bricks and tiles tomorrow, as they would be building a house deep in the mountains, and they definitely couldn't do it without them.
Once the newly purchased servants move in, it will definitely be inconvenient to use the space. Therefore, Xu Han and Lu Chuan thought that they should use the space to transport some bricks and tiles back in the next two days to avoid more trouble later.
Xu Han yawned and said weakly, "Um, I'll go get someone to bring some hot water. I'll go wash up first. You can eat slowly. I won't wait for you. I'll feel sleepy after I eat. I can't take it anymore."
As she spoke, she walked out. Just as she stepped out of the side hall, she saw Han Qi standing to the side.
Just as Xu Han was about to speak, Han Qi said, "I'll go get some hot water for Madam."
Hearing Han Qi's words, she was so startled that she was instantly wide awake and turned to look at Lu Chuan with a look of surprise.
"How can he hear me so well? I clearly saw him when he was still quite far away, how could he hear me?"
Lu Chuan smiled and looked at his silly wife, "It's okay, he can't beat me."
Han Qi, who had just started walking, paused upon hearing this, looking constipated. Then he continued walking.
After Han Qi left, Lu Chuan continued, "Wife, you weren't speaking quietly just now, so it's not surprising that he heard you."
Compared to the average person, his hearing is only slightly better. Of course, it can't compare to your husband's.
Xu Han was no longer sleepy. With a gossipy look on her face, she pulled Lu Chuan to sit down. "You said he's a martial arts expert, but how good is he really? Can you really beat him?"
Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "He has great talent, but no one has probably guided him. If someone had guided him, he might be better than me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately became anxious: "Then why did you buy him? What if he hits you in the future? What if he develops inappropriate thoughts? Wouldn't we be in danger?"
Lu Chuan pinched Xu Han's cheek. "Haha, my wife, you're so cute! Don't worry! That day will never come. If he ever develops any improper thoughts, I promise I'll kill him with my own hands."
Han Qi had just turned back, wanting to ask the two where they were taking the water, when he heard this and his eye twitched involuntarily. Uh, should he go in now or not? What should he do? He was so conflicted!
Just as Han Qi was about to return, Lu Chuan said, "Just put the water in my courtyard. If you don't know, ask Liu Erzhu. We'll be there in a bit."
Seeing that Lu Chuan had discovered him, Han Qi stopped pretending and replied, "Yes, sir." Then he withdrew.
Listening to their back-and-forth, Xu Han awkwardly touched her nose, wondering how she hadn't heard a thing! How on earth did these two discover each other?
