After dinner, Lu Chuan began packing his tools for the autumn hunt the next day, while Xu Han lay motionless on a chair, exhausted from bending over so much that her back ached.
After Lu Chuan was ready, he began to massage Xu Han. After Xu Han recovered, she began to massage Lu Chuan in return.
Xu Han massaged Lu Chuan to relax his muscles when they were clearing the land. At the time, Lu Chuan refused, but after he couldn't resist Xu Han's insistence and enjoyed it once, he stopped refusing.
Later, after they both started doing heavy physical labor, they would massage each other's muscles before going to bed at night to relax them so they wouldn't be unable to get up the next day.
After pressing each other's buttons, the two blew out the lamp and went to rest.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Lu Chuan packed his bags and prepared to set off. Because it was the autumn hunt, he wouldn't be returning every day as usual.
In the past, when Lu Chuan was alone, he would often go into the deep mountains alone in the summer and not come back for several days. But since Xu Han came into his family, he has never stayed out overnight when hunting and always comes back on the same day.
"You stay home and wait for me to come back. Don't go into the deep mountains, okay? I'll be back in seven days at most. If I hunt enough wild animals before then, I'll come back earlier."
“Okay! I understand. I live near home, I won’t go far. Take the black spot with you this time too! It can help you,” Xu Han said.
"Let it stay at home with you! I'm worried about you."
“I don’t care. I take the puppies with me when I go out. They’re a little small, but they’re very clever. I stay near home and don’t go far.”
Finally, after being persuaded by Xu Han, Lu Chuan agreed to take the black spot away.
After Lu Chuan left, Xu Han first took advantage of the morning to tidy up the vegetable garden at home, weeding and pruning as needed.
I was busy all morning, and after lunch I took the puppies out of the house.
We first went to the place where we found the matsutake mushrooms before and picked all the remaining ones. A few smaller ones have sprouted up in the last two days, but not many.
In the afternoon, after picking matsutake mushrooms, we continued picking termite mushrooms nearby.
Finding things alone is definitely much slower, but fortunately, the puppies helped with the search, which saved a lot of time.
As darkness fell, Xu Han took the puppies home.
Back home, I took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Then I took out the food from my spatial storage and started eating.
Since Xu Han transmigrated, Lu Chuan has rarely been away from home at night. Every night, there are only the two of them at home. Although sometimes they don't even talk, they always feel very at ease.
Xu Han is really not used to Lu Chuan suddenly not being home!
Feeling empty and as if something was missing, Xu Han forced herself to stop thinking about it and started taking out the unpeeled ice jelly seeds from her spatial storage.
These ice jelly seeds were not only picked by Xu Han near her home, but Lu Chuan would also bring some back when he came back from hunting. So now there is a lot of space in the space, and there is no time to deal with them yet.
Xu Han planned to take advantage of Lu Chuan's absence and the fact that she couldn't go deep into the mountains to finish dealing with everything in her space, so as to free up some room.
Around ten o'clock, Xu Han couldn't sit still any longer, so she got up and went back to her room to sleep.
The next morning, Xu Han got up as usual, first went to the backyard to feed the chickens, ducks and geese, and then collected the eggs while they were eating.
After they finished eating, clean the chicken and duck coop thoroughly and burn some mugwort to disinfect the chickens, ducks, and geese.
After finishing everything, we went to the front yard for breakfast and also fumigated the front yard with mugwort.
After breakfast, I called the puppies to go find matsutake mushrooms nearby.
I didn't go home for lunch. I took out a bowl of rice from my storage space and ate it with boiled beef.
They also prepared some rice porridge with meat broth for the puppies.
After eating their fill, they started searching again. During this time, Xu Han noticed that all the other mushrooms had been picked. Since they were already there and there was no rush, why not pick the plump mushrooms?
It wasn't until dark that they started heading home. After dinner, Xu Han decided not to peel the ice jelly seeds today.
With each autumn rain bringing a chill, the two of them still haven't prepared their winter clothes!
Tonight, Xu Han plans to make winter clothes for the two of them, two sets of thin winter clothes and two sets of thick winter clothes for each person.
We need to make two more outer garments to wear over the cotton-padded coat, so that the cotton-padded coat doesn't get dirty and is difficult to wash.
Moreover, cotton-padded clothes are quite troublesome to wash. The cotton inside cannot be washed, otherwise it will lose its warmth. You can only remove the outer layer and wash it separately.
Make two more sets of close-fitting undergarments and several pairs of socks to alternate wearing.
Start with what you need first. When the weather gets cold, the first thing to add is an inner garment, which is also relatively easy to make.
It can be a little close-fitting, but not too tight, because cotton fabric at this time is not as elastic as modern fabrics.
Xu Han took out fine white cotton cloth from Lu's parents' room and began to cut out their undergarments.
It was past 11 o'clock when we finally finished making both sets of inner garments for the two of them.
Xu Han stopped tidying up and went straight to sleep. Although there was a flashlight to provide light, her eyes still ached from looking at it. She decided to continue tomorrow.
On the third day, we didn't go mushroom picking. The road surface had gradually dried up, and no new mushrooms were growing.
After cleaning the house as usual and feeding the livestock, Xu Han carried her basket to the wasteland.
Let's harvest the sweet potato stems first. These sweet potatoes will be ready to harvest after the first frost. Let's pick some more while the leaves are still tender.
You can keep them to eat fresh or dry the sweet potato stems, otherwise there won't be any left later.
While picking sweet potato stems, Xu Han turned over the sweet potato vines, a step to allow the sweet potatoes below to grow larger.
If the sweet potato vines are not turned over in time, the nodes of the vines will continue to grow roots downwards, resulting in insufficient nutrition for the sweet potatoes at the roots.
Xu Han ate lunch in the wasteland. Since it was so close, she was too lazy to go home. The key was that she wanted to rest as soon as she got home and didn't want to come out and continue working. If she delayed any longer, she would waste a lot of time.
It wasn't until dusk that Xu Han got up and went home. After washing up and having dinner, she continued making winter clothes for the two of them.
Today we're making outer garments for two people. These need to be made a little bigger, otherwise they won't cover the cotton-padded clothes underneath.
Just like yesterday, I was busy until after 11 o'clock before I finished making today's outer garment.
On the fourth day, Xu Han got up early and began preparing to dry the vegetables. First, she blanched the green beans and sweet potato stems, then she cut the cucumbers into strips, and after finishing all of that, she started to dry them.
I dried more sweet potato stems today, and slightly fewer cucumbers and green beans.
The yard was completely filled with dried vegetables. After drying all the open space, Xu Han spread out an oilcloth outside the yard and hung some more dried vegetables to dry, finally finishing drying all the vegetables she had made that day.
