Chapter 220 Homely
During the meal, Han Deshun told everyone that the sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables in the fields could still grow for a while, and they could harvest the crops when the weather got colder in Taohuayuan.
Starting from tomorrow, the main task is to go up the mountain to buy goods and store food for the winter.
He also reminded everyone to prepare more firewood, because there are many rooms in the house and many people living in it, so more firewood will be used, so everyone must pay attention to this issue.
It’s my first winter here and I don’t know what the temperature will be like, so I still need to be adequately prepared.
Han Shunde also told everyone that except for the tasks arranged by the village, everything they collected in the mountains at other times would belong to each family.
The village collectively searches for food, such as picking wild duck eggs.
This was all done by the children. They picked up wild duck eggs every day and put them all in the big kitchen.
Then Xue Ni and her colleagues would be responsible for cleaning the wild duck eggs, pickling them into salted duck eggs, and then distributing them to each household during the Chinese New Year.
There is also the matter of firewood. In addition to collecting enough firewood for their own winter, every household also has to hand in firewood to the school and the canteen.
Later, Xue Lao Hu suggested that all the people go up the mountain in one day.
We cut firewood together. The firewood we cut was placed in the school, and the next day we cut more firewood and stored it in the cafeteria.
The rest of the time, I collect firewood for my family.
After a group of people discussed this proposal, it later became a plan to help each other and work together, which would make the work faster and save trouble.
So, Xue Lao Hu started to arrange shifts for each household to collect firewood.
The adults and children were all full and the family dinner was over.
Each of them carried their sleeping children back to their own homes, and the family gathered together again, talking and laughing. It seemed that the day was not tiring, as there was always so much to say, and they didn't feel sleepy at all.
Li Lanzhen knew that everyone was too excited.
Since leaving my hometown, since the beginning of the famine, and then the subsequent war and chaos, I began to flee the famine, and then I came to the Forget-Your-Trouble Valley and settled down.
In the end, because Li Lanzhen brought more than 20 children with her, I had no choice but to embark on the journey with myself again and arrive at the Peach Blossom Spring.
When they arrived at the Peach Blossom Spring, they worked hard to plant crops and build houses and yards...
Now, I finally have a home of my own, a warm home with a wife and children.
This is what home is, with a sense of belonging and security!
Li Lanzhen's family first sent Li Erhan and Ye back to the yard, and then they turned back to their own home.
Brothers Han Minghai and Han Mingjiang both had their own independent courtyards, but they both followed Li Lanzhen to Li Lanzhen's courtyard.
Entering the main room, against the back wall, there is a heated kang with two sides against the wall.
It is about one meter high and one and a half meters wide.
Li Lanzhen said that this is equivalent to a chair or stool.
In winter, when the fire is warm, you can sit here and let the children study and play, and the adults can do needlework and chat, without having to send them to the bedroom as soon as someone comes.
In fact, Li Lanzhen thought that this was equivalent to the sofa in the living room.
The three brothers followed Li Lanzhen and sat down, putting the children inside and letting them play. Zhang Yu Niang's belly was already very big.
Watching Han Minghai helping her, who was so heavy, to sit on the kang.
“Old lady’s wife, you can lean on the quilt at the back, it will be more comfortable.
Your belly has already swelled, and I'm afraid you'll give birth in the next few days."
Zhang Yu Niang also smiled and said.
"Mom, it'll probably only be a few days. Don't worry. I'm fully prepared."
Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not worried, you can relax, we have so many people here, and I've prepared ginseng for you, don't be afraid."
Han Minghai held Zhang Yu Niang's hand tightly. He saw that his wife's belly was bigger than when she was pregnant with her previous two children. He was a little worried, but he didn't say it out loud because he was afraid that if he said it, his wife would become more worried and nervous.
Now that his mother said this, he felt relieved.
Then he smiled and looked at his younger brother Han Mingxiang and said to Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, when will my brother's wedding be held?"
Han Mingxiang's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen laughed and said, "I thought that after the eldest son's wife has given birth and is out of confinement, we will arrange for Han Mingxiang to find a wife."
Looking at Han Mingxiang who was grinning foolishly, Li Lanzhen glared at him.
"Once you marry a wife, you can live in your own yard."
Han Minghai looked at Li Lanzhen and said.
"Mom, let me live in the same yard with you. I'm the eldest, so it's only right for me to live with you.
Zhang Yu Niang also nodded.
"Mom, yes, we will live in the same yard with you and honor you."
Li Lanzhen waved her hand to stop their conversation.
"Okay, just live your own life.
I'm not old yet, so I don't need you to take care of me. I'll live with my old daughter, and when she gets married, I'll live alone.
You are all here, and aren't there doors open in the middle of each yard? If there is anything, I can shout and you can all hear me."
Seeing that Li Lanzhen insisted, the brothers stopped talking.
Li Lanzhen glanced at the three children, Douhua, Datou and Linglong, who were sleeping like little piglets.
"These are the children who are with me. Don't worry."
Douhua Datou was determined to follow Li Lanzhen, and during those days he heard that he would follow Shitou Lihua to live in the back yard.
The two children were torn. On the one hand, they were reluctant to leave their older brother and sister who had grown up with them, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to leave Li Lanzhen, who was like a family member to them.
It was fine during the day, he would play and work with his brothers and sisters. However, as soon as the sun went down, he would immediately follow Li Lanzhen closely, to the point of being inseparable from her.
Li Lanzhen felt sorry for them and discussed with Shi Tou Lihua, and the two children lived obediently in Li Lanzhen's house.
They finally felt relieved knowing that they could be with Li Lanzhen forever.
As for the little girl Linglong, ever since she knew that Silver Fox was Su Chen's uncle, she has been sticking to Silver Fox during the day.
At night, I still have to look for Li Lanzhen.
So, these three little kids lived in Li Lanzhen's house.
The three Han Minghai brothers all knew that Li Lanzhen had become very different since they fled from famine. Now, Li Lanzhen was independent and strong.
The day after Han Mingxiang returned to Taohuayuan, Li Lanzhen gave him and Han Shulan a powerful pill.
Of course, the pills are melted in cornmeal batter.
At that time, Li Lan was holding two bowls of cornmeal porridge and called two people over.
"Come, mother has brought you breakfast. Eat quickly."
Han Mingxiang and Han Shulan didn't think much about it. They put the bowls on the table and prepared to wait for it to cool down before drinking.
As a result, Li Lanzhen kept staring at their bowls.
She kept urging them to drink quickly and while it was hot. The two men just thought that they had been away for too long and Li Lanzhen cared about them, so they picked up the bowls and drank it bit by bit.
What was unexpected was that at noon, Han Mingxiang was repairing a house at the construction site, and he carried a large beam frame by himself.
He didn't scare anyone else, but he got a fright himself. He quickly put the airs down, looked around for a while, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he put the airs up again.
Hehehehe laughed and said to Han Zhaoxiong who was standing on the wall.
"Brother Zhaoxiong, look how strong I am!"
Han Zhaoyun also chuckled, "I'm very strong too!"
Later, Han Mingxiang found out that everyone in his family, regardless of age, had become a strongman, except for himself, who had just become a strongman.
At night, he went to find Han Shulan and learned that she had also become extremely powerful.
Being smart, he immediately realized that everyone's transformation into strongmen was directly related to his mother Li Lanzhen.
