Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 301 Planting Fruit Trees

Judging from the situation, if nothing unexpected happens, everyone should be able to survive.

Seeing that the chickens, ducks and geese were fine, Xu Han fetched some more water and watered the vegetable seedlings in the backyard.

It has been more than half a month since the vegetable seeds were planted. Now they have all sprouted and have grown true leaves.

It looks like we'll be able to turn the soil and transplant the seedlings after a while.

Xu Han thought about it and was shocked when she calculated. Planting vegetables, crops, trees, repairing the chicken coop, planting flowers, and cleaning the pond were all jobs.

I have been idle for two or three years now, and this year will not be as idle as previous years.

From today on, every day will be busy.

Thinking of this, Xu Han unconsciously quickened her pace. After watering the seedlings, she started to eat breakfast.

I had just put down my bowl and hadn't had time to wash the dishes when I heard Ze'er crying again.

Xu Han quickly put down the bowl and went back into the house to see Ze'er...

By the time Xu Han finished feeding Ze'er, it was already mid-morning.

Xu Han was planning to carry Ze'er to the hillside to check out the situation.

Mu'er ran in from outside, followed by Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao.

"Why did you come back so quickly today? Have you finished digging the tree pit?" Xu Han asked in surprise.

"It's finished. A dozen pits were dug quickly."

"It's still early now, why don't we go to the waterfall to get some water. We can use it to water the trees in the afternoon." Xu Han suggested after thinking for a while.

"Okay, you two go, I'll be at home looking after the kids. After getting the water in the morning, I can still find time to do other work in the afternoon. There are so many fruit trees, if we delay too long, we may not be able to finish planting them all." Grandpa Zhao continued.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan agreed, went to the kitchen to drink some warm water, and then followed Xu Han to the waterfall.

The reservoir on this side of the waterfall has not been backfilled and is now full of water.

The weather in March was still a little cold, and Xu Han didn't want to go to the waterfall to fetch water and get her clothes wet.

So Lu Chuan and Xu Han started to draw water from the reservoir with buckets.

Pour the water into the large bathtub. When it is full, put it into the space first, then change to another bathtub and continue filling it with water.

The two men stopped only after they had filled all the large vats and buckets with water.

After a short rest, they rushed home together.

After arriving home, Xu Han went straight into the kitchen without taking a rest. Before she knew it, it was time to make lunch.

These few times when cooking, Xu Han deliberately made more.

It's going to be busy soon, and I definitely won't have time to cook.

Make some more now and store them. When you don’t have time to cook, you can eat the food directly in the space.

"What do you want to eat today?" Xu Han asked Lu Chuan.

"I haven't eaten rice for a long time. How about cooking some food today?"

"Okay, let's eat white rice today. I'll make a chicken stewed with winter melon, a sweet potato stalk salad, and a mushroom soup."

As Xu Han spoke, she took out the ingredients from the space. Lu Chuan took the ingredients from Xu Han and started to clean up.

While Xu Han was washing the vegetables, Lu Chuan took this opportunity to chop the chicken.

After everything was ready, Xu Han started cooking.

First blanch the chicken in water, then heat oil in a pan, add rock sugar into the pan, and after the sugar turns brown, pour the chicken in and stir-fry.

Then add water and appropriate spices into the pot, simmer for a while, then pour the winter melon into the pot and simmer together.

"Are you making chicken and winter melon today? I can smell the aroma from far away." Grandpa Zhao walked in from the backyard holding Ze'er and asked.

"Grandpa Zhao, you have a really good nose. Haven't you eaten rice in a long time?

So I made chicken and winter melon today, you have to eat more later." Xu Han said with a smile.

"Then I must eat more. It's been a long time since I've eaten this dish."

"Xiaohan also made your favorite mushroom soup." Lu Chuan continued.

"Hahahaha, today's meals are all my favorites. Looks like I'll have to eat an extra bowl of rice today."

"Mu'er also likes to eat meat." Mu'er also said to prove her existence.

"Okay, Mommy will serve Mu'er a big chicken drumstick later, okay?"

"Okay, Mu'er likes to eat chicken legs."

"Hahahahahaha." Everyone laughed when they saw this.

After lunch, Lu Chuan and Xu Han took their tools and walked up the hillside after a short rest.

Grandpa Zhao stayed at home and took a nap with Mu'er and Ze'er.

After reaching the hillside, Xu Han first took out the fruit trees, and then she and Lu Chuan placed the fruit trees in the corresponding tree pits.

After all the fruit tree seedlings were placed, Xu Han supported the fruit trees while Lu Chuan began to cover the soil.

"It hasn't rained recently, and the soil is dry." Lu Chuan said as he buried the tree.

"It really hasn't rained for a long time, but it should rain soon. The sun was still very bright in the morning. Now it can be clearly felt that the weather has turned cloudy." Xu Han looked up at the sky and said after hearing this.

"I don't think it will rain for a while. There are no dark clouds in the sky. If it rains after we plant the fruit trees, the survival rate of the seedlings will be higher."

"It would be nice if it rained, at least we wouldn't have to water every day."

"Hahahaha, you are right."

The two chatted and laughed while planting trees. When Lu Chuan was tired, Xu Han took the shovel from Lu Chuan and buried the soil herself.

They planted the trees alternately in this way, and finally all the trees were planted before the sun set.

"It's getting dark, let's hurry up and water the plants, otherwise we won't be able to see anything when it gets dark," said Lu Chuan.

"Well, I'll take out the water tanks and place one at a distance. We can split up and move faster."

I have to say that watering is much faster than planting trees, and there is no need to fetch water, which saves a lot of time.

The two of them finally finished watering all the fruit trees before dark.

"Finally, the watering is done. A big worry has been solved after planting the fruit trees. Next is the pond and the wasteland." Xu Han looked at the fruit trees on the hillside and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"Planting is only the first step, and careful care is essential in the future."

"Hahahaha, then I'm happy too. I'll be happy just thinking about being able to eat the fruits that I planted myself every season."

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, it's worth it no matter how tired I am." Lu Chuan took Xu Han's hand and they walked home together.

As they walked, they were still discussing where to plant the flowers that Yunhua sent back.
