Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Xu Han uttered an "oh" and gloated, "Then you may have to stay for another day before you can go back."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at Xu Han in confusion, waiting for her next words.

Xu Han was not in a hurry. He took a sip of soup and continued, "Our carriage is too bumpy. I've been sitting in it for a whole day and it's almost falling apart.

We will be going to South City in a few days, and before that we must buy a better carriage, otherwise it will fall apart if we walk all the way there, as the journey is so long."

After Xu Han finished speaking, several people nodded with some empathy. Lu Chuan continued, "We need to buy a better carriage.

But there are so many people in our family, so I'm afraid one car might not be enough!"

Yunhua also said, "That's definitely not enough. We need at least two carriages, and they have to be bigger. Then we can put softer cushions on the carriages and lie down in them more comfortably."

"Yes, why don't we buy two carriages, so that we can carry more things."

"Okay, Yunhua and I will go buy it tomorrow. I don't think there are any good carriages in the county town, so we will go directly to the provincial capital to buy it tomorrow. By the way, we will see if there are any suitable cows and buy them at the same time.

We have to buy it for the family anyway, so it’ll be cheaper if we buy it together.”

"Okay, then let's buy them all. Anyway, our stable is big and can hold a lot of horses. We can keep them at home temporarily first, and then we can take them to the workshop when it's built. Anyway, the sooner we buy them, the sooner we can use them."

In this way, it was confirmed that Lu Chuan and Yun Hua would go to the provincial capital tomorrow.

This trip to the provincial capital will take at least three days, and the round trip will take two days.

If you are lucky, you can buy it on the same day, but if you are unlucky, you will need to wait for two more days.

But Xu Han didn't care about that. She didn't know anything about buying livestock, so she decided not to ask any more questions.

After lunch, Yunhua suggested going to the livestock market in the county town to take a look, just in case there were suitable cows or horses.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well go out for a walk. If I find something suitable, I will buy it. If not, I will go to the provincial capital to sell it tomorrow.

However, it seems that not everything goes as one wishes. After walking around for an entire afternoon, the two did not see any suitable horses, but they did buy five cows.

Moreover, each of them is a strong bull and is very suitable for pulling carts.

Xu Han looked left and right and said, "This cow is a good buy. It looks stronger than the one we have at home."

“The cows are quite strong, but the price is also very painful. The five cows in our family are generally two or three taels of silver more expensive than normal cows because they are good looking.

This is the price we negotiated based on the amount of money we bought. If we bought individually, a cow would cost five or six taels of silver more!"

Xu Han's eyes widened upon hearing this, and her heart ached so much that blood flowed out. She asked in surprise, "It's so much more expensive?"

Yunhua came over and said, "Yes, but we are lucky today, otherwise we would not have encountered such a good cow.

Look how strong this bull is. We specially selected bulls that have just reached adulthood, and each one is very strong. "

After hearing this, Xu Han felt better. "That's about right. It's not expensive if you calculate it this way."

Zhao Yunyun stepped forward and said, "You can buy a few cows and let them reproduce on their own. Then you won't have to buy more later."

"I thought so too, but I didn't see anything suitable today. Let's go to the capital city tomorrow to have a look."

In the evening, everyone finished dinner early and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the room, Lu Chuan hugged Xu Han and asked softly, "It will take us three or four days to get to the city. Will you stay in the county town or go back to the mountains?"

"Go back to the mountains. There's nothing to do in the county. I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay, I'll have Han Qi take you back tomorrow. You stay at home for the next few days, and when we come back you'll be ready to go to South City."

"Well, but let others take us back. Let Han Qi go with you to buy a carriage tomorrow. Otherwise, you won't be able to send us back with both cows and horses."

Lu Chuan shook his head and said, "No need, we can just ask the people at the livestock market to send it back when the time comes. At most we can just pay a little more.

Even if we let Han Qi go tomorrow, it won't be of much use. We bought a lot, so it doesn't make any difference whether he goes or not. We still need to ask someone to send them back."

Xu Han thought about it and said, "Okay then."

As he was talking, Lu Chuan's hands started to get restless again. The candlelight in the room flickered, and the temperature rose rapidly...

The next day, Lu Chuan and Yun Hua set off before dawn. Xu Han didn't even get up to see them off before they left.

It was really because the two of them were so exhausted yesterday that they had no strength left.

In a daze, Xu Han heard Lu Chuan calling her. She wanted to struggle to get up and see him off, but she slept too soundly and turned over and fell asleep again.

When she got up again, it was already noon.

Zhao Yunyun had gotten up long ago and was drinking tea and basking in the sun in the courtyard.

When Xu Han saw her, her face was unnatural for a moment, and she said awkwardly, "Good morning!"

Zhao Yunyun hid a smile in her eyes and joked, "It's quite early, almost noon."

Xu Han smiled sheepishly, "Hey, well, I slept late last night."

"Hahaha, that's enough, stop explaining. When can you give me a little niece? These two little brats are not fun at all. Daughters are better. They are soft and fragrant, and they are lovable just by looking at them."

Having said that, Xu Han's original embarrassment disappeared, and she began to tease Zhao Yunyun openly.

"You're still blaming me. If you want a daughter, it's easy. Just give birth to one yourself!"

Zhao Yunyun, who was induced to give birth, was stunned and her face turned red instantly.

"Oh, Sister Xiaohan..."

"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you! But you can have children after you get married.

Anyway, it won’t be long before we get married, maybe we can have a baby together next year!

Then we can each have a sweet and soft daughter, okay?"

Zhao Yunyun was still unmarried after all, and her face became redder and redder as Xu Han said, "Oh, I won't pay attention to you anymore."

Xu Han smiled even happier when she saw this, but as she was laughing she suddenly realized something very serious.

My period hasn’t come this month, and it seems to have been delayed for six or seven days. I didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now I think that maybe I’m pregnant!

As she thought about it, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and turned into a very serious expression.

Zhao Yunyun was a little confused by Xu Han's reaction. She gently shook Xu Han's arm and said, "Sister Xiaohan, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Xu Han quickly grabbed Zhao Yunyun's arm and looked at her with a bitter face, "Yunyun, my period seems to be delayed by five or six days this month. Could it be..."
