If it weren't for the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao, we would definitely be in danger today.
You wouldn't believe it, when we were hunting wolves, we only felt like there were a lot of them, but when we actually counted the exact number, I was really shocked. There were a full sixty-seven wolves, and that number is no joke.
"Without the Taoist priest's help, I really couldn't have dealt with so many wolves by myself. Even with the dogs' help, I'm not sure I could have protected you."
Lu Chuan became increasingly frightened as he spoke, and eventually even shed tears, showing how genuinely scared he was.
Upon hearing the number of wolves, Xu Han felt a chill run down her spine. Sixty-seven wild wolves—this was not something Lu Chuan and his dogs could handle.
Who knows, the two of them and their dogs might not even be properly buried by then!
Xu Han wiped away the tears from Lu Chuan's eyes and spoke in a seemingly relaxed manner.
"Yes! It's a good thing we agreed to let the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao stay at our house. Look how great it is now! The four of us can even play mahjong together!"
Then she continued, "Our lives are much more lively now. Without them, there would only be the two of us in the mountains, and we wouldn't even have anyone to talk to."
If it were just the two of us stuck in the mountains for seven years, with nothing to do during droughts, I think I would have died of boredom. And most importantly, we wouldn't have this baby now.
After speaking, Xu Han lovingly stroked her already swollen belly.
"Yes! Although sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable with two more people around, and we even have less time to be alone."
But without their help, we wouldn't have all this laughter and joy. It's nice to be happy every day, eating and working together," Lu Chuan said, putting his arm around Xu Han.
"Maybe if we spend a lot of time together, we'll have a lot of conflicts! Then there won't even be anyone to mediate, and the conflicts will accumulate, and we'll become a resentful couple," Xu Han laughed heartily.
"No, I definitely won't bother you," Lu Chuan said solemnly.
"That's not necessarily true. It certainly won't happen in a short time, but it's seven years! In those seven years, it's just you and me, living under the same roof every day. How could we not argue?" Xu Han said skeptically.
"Honey, if I do anything wrong in the future, please tell me, okay?"
"Let's try not to argue, and discuss things calmly when we encounter problems. If you're angry, you have to tell me. Don't make me guess why you're angry, because sometimes I really don't know the reason," Lu Chuan said to Xu Han earnestly.
"Fine, I'm angry now. It's so late, I'm so sleepy, and you won't let me sleep." Xu Han said, feigning annoyance.
"Alright, alright, honey, you go to sleep now! I'll go blow out the light." Lu Chuan said and went to blow out the light.
Meanwhile, in another room, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were discussing the wolf pack.
Grandpa Zhao was also surprised after hearing the Taoist priest talk about the number of wolves. "How can there be so many wolves? A normal wolf pack is only about ten, and at most it will not exceed forty. How come there are so many wolves all of a sudden this time?"
"I don't know either, but it doesn't look like it was manipulated by someone."
"Something must have happened in the mountains to cause the wolves to gather in such a large group. I'll check the situation in a while, and if it doesn't improve, I'll go deep into the mountains," the Taoist priest replied after a moment's thought.
"It's a good thing you insisted on coming early, otherwise it would have been troublesome if it were just Xiaohan and Lu Chuan today. Did you know there would be danger all along?" Grandpa Zhao asked with a suspicious look.
"Otherwise what? Why do you think I had to come here?" the Taoist priest said with a look of disdain.
"Alright! Considering you saved Xiao Chuan and Xiao Han today, I won't argue with you anymore. Go to sleep." With that, she turned over, her back to the Taoist priest.
A good night's sleep...
The next morning, after Xu Han got up, Lu Chuan asked her to take out the wild wolves so the three of them could process them. This large amount of wolf meat would indeed take up a lot of space in the spatial storage.
The three of them were processing the wolf meat, and Xu Han didn't care about them. The baby's clothes hadn't been made yet! If they didn't start making clothes soon, the baby wouldn't have anything to wear after birth.
Xu Han took out a piece of soft, fine cotton cloth from the storeroom, cut it to the appropriate size, and began to make clothes.
Xu Han had never made children's clothes before, and she didn't know what size to make. Anyway, the baby was born in winter, and there was a kang (heated brick bed) in the house. We didn't go out in winter, so she just made a bodysuit. It was convenient and practical.
Xu Han planned to make four sets. If she made too many, she wouldn't be able to wear them all, and if she made too few, she wouldn't have enough to change into. She decided to make four sets first.
If it's not enough, I can make more later. Anyway, I have a sewing machine, so it's quite convenient to make them.
Not only did she have to make clothes for the baby, but she also had to make swaddle blankets for the baby. Xu Han made three of these, in case the baby wet the diaper and needed to be changed.
In her previous life, Xu Han had never given birth to a baby or raised a child, so she didn't know exactly how many she needed and could only add more when necessary.
Xu Han had heard from a friend that children grow very quickly, and if you buy too many small clothes, they won't fit anymore, so you don't need that many.
Xu Han didn't have much this time; if it's not enough, we'll talk about it later!
Another crucial item was the diaper ring. Since there were no disposable diapers in this era, this was the only option.
It's very easy to make this. All you need is soft fabric. Old clothes are best, as they soften after being worn for a long time and won't scratch your baby's skin.
However, Xu Han had already turned all her old clothes into shoes, so she had no choice but to cut soft cotton fabric into suitable sizes and use it directly to make diaper rings.
This is also very useful, but it's a bit troublesome to wash. The demand for this is definitely high, so Xu Han makes quite a lot of it.
There were also some small bibs and socks that couldn't be left out, and Xu Han had also prepared some bibs for later use.
While you still have time, prepare everything you need so that you won't run out of time to do these things when your baby grows up.
Xu Han also made a few pairs of small shoes, but they weren't needed in the early stages, so she made relatively few.
You can't wear many clothes in winter, but you can prepare two sets of clothes for spring and summer.
Xu Han didn't know how big it was, so she went to look through the clothes Lu Chuan wore when he was a child.
Xu Han remembered that when she was sorting through Lu Chuan's parents' things, there was a box with a lot of small clothes in it, which should be the clothes Lu Chuan wore when he was a child!
So she dragged Lu Chuan along to search, and sure enough, Xu Han found a lot of useful things, which reduced the amount of work they had to do.
