Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Ever since the weeds started growing in the mountains, I would take the corn out every morning, tie it under a tree, put water on it for it to drink, and leave the rope longer so it could find grass to eat on its own.

Wait until dark and then take the corn back to the donkey shed in the backyard and tie it up.

In this way, we often change the trees to tie the corn, and the corn is like a buffet every day, and it grows quite strong.

Although it hasn't rained for five months, there is still water in the creek near my home.

However, the water level is dropping visibly, and many plants in the surrounding area or in the valley have died due to lack of rain for a long time.

Now only some big trees and drought-resistant plants are still alive and well.

Even the weeds and some messy vines in the valley have become much less, and looking around, you can see that there are large patches of withered yellow, with occasional green weeds in between.

However, it is gratifying that up to now, the stream in front of my house is still flowing, but it has become very slow, and the riverbed has become much narrower. It is currently only a little more than one meter. Fortunately, it is still quite deep.

After Xu Han tied up the corn, she did not go back immediately. She wanted to take advantage of the warm weather and water in the river to wash the potatoes and sweet potatoes that would need to be cooked later.

After all, these things on the ground are covered with mud, and it takes a lot of water to wash them clean when eating!

Pour the potatoes directly into the river and use a large wooden board to block the downstream area to prevent the potatoes from being washed away.

Then Xu Han took off her shoes, stood in the water and started washing the potatoes.

Xu Han needs to clean all the potatoes one by one, so that when they need to be cooked, they can be put directly into the pot without the need for secondary processing.

However, although the stream water is flowing, it is still not possible to clean them directly in one go. There are too many potatoes, so it is inevitable that the water will become turbid during washing.

Xu Han first cleaned it roughly at this location, and then moved to a location slightly upstream for a second treatment.

Do not pour in too many potatoes during the secondary processing, otherwise the water will easily become turbid again.

After washing for a while, Xu Han felt her legs were sore from squatting, so she stood up and moved a large rock to the side, and sat on it to wash slowly.

Because I had been soaking in the water the whole time, I didn't feel that hot at all, until I felt the burning sun on my back, then I packed up and went home.

Lu Chuan would definitely not come back for lunch today, and Xu Han was too lazy to cook. The weather was too hot and she had no appetite at all, so she took out some fruits from the space and put them in an ice basin to cool them down for a while before eating.

After eating the fruit, they felt sleepy instantly. Because they had to work when the sun was not too hot, Xu Han and Lu Chuan got up very early every day and took a nap at noon. Their biological clocks had been formed during this period of time.

After Xu Han woke up, she closed the gate and went to the waterfall to fetch water.

Generally speaking, Xu Han would choose to water the plants in the afternoon because the sun was too strong in the morning and watering would easily kill the seedlings.

After such a long period of hard work, Xu Han can now easily complete the daily watering task by herself.

From the initial pain in my arms to getting used to it later, I don’t know how many buckets of water I poured to build up the physical strength I have now.

Although there is space cheating, which can save a lot of effort in carrying water, it is still very difficult to water the ground.

As usual, Xu Han continued watering until it got dark, and then she walked home.

I entered the yard, closed the door, and looked at the peas and broad beans drying in the yard. I held my forehead helplessly, wondering how could I have forgotten about this. I could only start working again.

The sun was very hot, and the peas that had been exposed to the sun for a day had become very dry. A gentle tap with a stick caused the pea pods to burst instantly, and the peas inside fell out.

Xu Han hammered all the peas, then turned them over and continued hammering until it was dark.

He rubbed his sore arm and looked towards the gate, thinking, "It's getting dark now, Lu Chuan should be back by now!"

After sitting down and resting for a while, he still didn't hear Lu Chuan's voice, so he stood up and continued to process the peas he had just hammered.

Pick the pea vines aside and sweep out the peas that have been hammered down separately. You can directly dry the peas tomorrow, and save the remaining pea vines as food for corn.

After Xu Han finished all the peas, she suddenly realized, yes! There is corn at home! Why not use the corn roller to press the pea seedlings!

Xu Han reacted and cursed herself inwardly, thinking that she was too careless. She had a donkey at home that could work, but she was still here grunting and hammering peas.

What a miserable life! What's wrong with me lately? Why do I do such stupid things every day without even thinking of this?

Xu Han had just said that she wanted to feed the pea seedlings with corn, when she remembered that her family had already bought livestock to help with the work. Since corn was not needed for normal watering and the like, she had never thought that it could also pull the roller.

Now that everything was done, Xu Han stopped worrying about it. Fortunately, there were still some broad beans left to be processed! Let the corn crush the broad beans tomorrow!

After Xu Han finished harvesting all the peas, she heard the sound of a dog barking outside.

Thinking that it must be Lu Chuan who had returned, she opened the gate. As soon as she opened the gate, Mao Dou jumped into her arms. Xu Han staggered and caught Mao Dou, still unable to help saying

"You, you're always like this. If you gain a little weight, I really won't be able to catch you. You're too heavy and you almost make me fall."

Lu Chuan also came over from behind and scolded Mao Dou, "How many times have I told you not to do this? Why don't you learn your lesson? Eat half of your dinner today. You'll go hungry next time!"

Xu Han hid behind and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing secretly. Among the six dogs, Maodou was the one that gave Lu Chuan the most headaches and was also the one that received the most punishments.

But at the same time, Maodou is also the best hunter, a little bit stronger than his father Heifeng!

In response to Lu Chuan's scolding, Maodou whimpered twice and started to act pitiful again, but Lu Chuan had no intention of letting Maodou go this time. Seeing that Lu Chuan ignored her, Maodou turned to look at Xu Han.

When Xu Han saw Maodou looking at her for help, she quickly pretended not to see it and turned into the room.

Seeing that both of its owners ignored it, Maodou stopped pretending and turned around and continued to have fun.
