Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 507 Wanting a Daughter

"Sure. The yard over there has been leveled. Tomorrow morning, let Zhu Qiang and the others use a stone roller to flatten the ground. Then we can put the dug sweet potatoes directly in the yard. After drying them for two days, we can bring them into the house."

Xu Han took Lu Chuan's arm and said in a flattering manner, "Well, just make the arrangements as you see fit."

Then he continued, "I just told Dan Niang that when they start firing, I will cook them a big meal in the valley to celebrate. We don't have enough meat at home, so I'll have to trouble you to find the ingredients."

Lu Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a sly smile, "Of course there is no problem in leaving the ingredients to me, but how is my wife going to reward me?"

Xu Han stopped and glanced at Lu Chuan, then teased, "No way, no way, you actually want to separate from me so clearly. It's really sad."

Lu Chuan looked at Xu Han's exaggerated expression and smiled even more happily. "As a husband, of course I am willing to serve my wife, but even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I wonder if it's not too much for me to ask my wife for a favor."

After he finished speaking, he was about to put his arms around Xu Han's waist, pretending to kiss her. Xu Han was startled, and looked around guiltily. Seeing that no one was around, she felt relieved. "Don't make trouble, he's still outside!"

Lu Chuan said nonchalantly, "What happened outside? I kissed my own wife, what am I afraid of?"

This used to happen often when the two of them were outside, but now there are other people in the house, and there are a lot of people coming in and out, and they are all acquaintances.

If the servants saw the two masters being affectionate here, Xu Han would be a little embarrassed.

Moreover, people in ancient times were relatively feudal. Lu Chuan became more and more courageous because he had been with Xu Han for a long time. The two of them had been living in the mountains, with no other outsiders except the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao.

Seeing Lu Chuan like this, Xu Han put her arm around Lu Chuan's waist, and said with a sly smile, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to maintain your aloof personality in front of the servants?"

"It is not their place to discuss the master's affairs."

Xu Han looked at Lu Chuan's expression and chuckled, "You are right."

"Does the daughter-in-law mean that she agrees?"

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and before she could react Lu Chuan kissed her.

As the kiss became deeper and deeper, she was slowly moved by the passion, and after a long time, they both stopped, breathlessly.

Fortunately, they are still in the orchard. If they were on the road, it would be impossible. There are too many people passing by on the road, and they will be seen if they are not careful. Xu Han doesn't want to be watched by others.

Lu Chuan looked at the emotional Xu Han and said, "Wife, how about we give birth to a daughter tonight!"

Xu Han looked at Lu Chuan with a smile, "Didn't you say you didn't want children?"

Lu Chuan smiled and said, "I suddenly feel that it would be nice to have a daughter who looks like you. When we go back later, let's go find Grandpa Zhao and ask him to check your pulse."

Deep down, Xu Han also wanted a daughter, but her two sons were still very young and she couldn't take care of them by herself.

In addition to the previous war, this matter has never been put on the agenda. Hearing Lu Chuan say this, I felt itchy in my heart. Who doesn't want to have both a son and a daughter?

"Okay, let's go find Grandpa Zhao later. Now there are more people at home, so even if we have another child, there will be someone to take care of it. It's not like before when there was no one to help us and we had to do everything on our own. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't take care of it myself.

It’s different now. There are so many people in my family, so I don’t have to do housework every day. Even if I have children, I can make time to take care of them myself.

However, this matter still needs long-term consideration. There are still so many shops in the county that have not been opened yet. We can't just leave them alone.

Let's go to Grandpa Zhao to take care of our bodies first, and when everything is back on track next year, we can put it on the agenda."

Lu Chuan held Xu Han's hand and continued walking forward. "You don't have to worry about the store. You just need to tell me what to do, and I will take people to do the rest. You will be responsible for being the general commander and controlling the overall situation. If there is anything, just tell me, I will be responsible for running errands and arranging it, and you just wait for the inspection of the results."

"Hahaha, that's what you said, don't complain about being tired when the time comes. The house over there has been built now, and there won't be anything else to do after the autumn planting, so it's time to make arrangements for the shop."

"It is my honor to serve my wife. Besides, we are husband and wife. Your business is my business, and the business of the shop is also the business of the family. How can I let you do everything and be a hands-off manager?

But I don't know anything about running a shop, so I have to rely on you for these things. The rest of the errands will be done by me.

During this time, you should think carefully about what to do. After the autumn planting is finished, I will lead the team to start the implementation."

Xu Han nodded. "Well, I won't ask about the farm affairs. During this time, I will plan the business of the shop and the canned fruit business. These two things need to be arranged. Otherwise, the pears will be left in the field for a long time and will not be fresh after a long time."

Lu Chuan reminded again, "Okay, if there is anything to do, arrange for someone to do it, don't do everything yourself. There are many people working at home now, you should learn to take yourself out and arrange for them to do the work."

"I know. Apart from cooking, I haven't taken care of anything else recently. Don't worry, I won't tire myself out."

The two of them talked as they walked, and before they knew it they had arrived home.

Because we were gone a little longer, Dan Niang had almost finished preparing dinner.

Xu Han brought over a backpack, put the persimmons in it, and then put a few pears and apples in, then covered it tightly to ripen them.

After putting it away, Lu Chuan put the basket in the warehouse, and it would be ready to eat after two days.

This ripening method is very common. Pears and apples act as ripening agents. In a few days, the persimmons will become soft, and then you can take them out and start eating them.

However, the pears and apples put in there will be inedible. The pears and apples that have ripened will become very astringent and completely inedible.

After putting it away, Xu Han went into the kitchen, intending to see what Dan Niang had prepared for dinner today.

She asked, "Is the meal ready?"

Dan Niang answered while serving the rice, "Okay, Madam. For dinner today, I'll make fried egg with loofah, with millet porridge. The staple food is multi-grain steamed buns. I'll add some pickled vegetables to go with the steamed buns. It's a combination of steamed buns and porridge. What do you think?"
