Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 263 Rainy Season

The rain lasted for a week before it finally stopped.

It’s only March and the rainfall is so heavy. I can’t imagine what the situation will be like in the summer.

Because it had been raining heavily, the creek in front of my house was filled with water after every rain, and the flow became even faster than before the drought.

There was also water accumulation in other places deep in the mountains. During the rainy days, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan had to wear straw raincoats and go outside to clear the drains.

Because of the erosion of rain water, many dead branches and rotten leaves gathered together, and the ditches beside the road were often blocked.

If it is not cleared in time, the rainwater will not be able to drain out, and it will overflow and flow onto the road.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was May.

It is summer now. Since the beginning of summer, the rainfall has obviously increased a lot compared to before.

Before, it would rain for four or five days and then be sunny for more than ten days, but since May, it has rained almost every day.

Sometimes the drizzle can last for half a month without stopping at all.

It drizzles every day, and people under the rain feel very depressed. They can only stay at home and cannot go out to play.

If you stay here for too long, you will get sick from being bored, but there is nothing you can do as the rain keeps coming, so you can only stay in the house and entertain yourself.

The most important thing is that the dirty clothes can’t be dried even after washing, and now everyone has nothing to wear.

If you don’t change your clothes, they will become damp and very uncomfortable to wear.

Lu Chuan had no choice but to light a brazier in the uninhabited room and use it to dry everyone's washed clothes.

This finally solved the problem of how to wear clothes.

The room was also damp and some corners were moldy.

Xu Han was afraid that the things in the cellar and warehouse would get moldy, so she packed all the things into the space before the rainy season came.

Fortunately, part of the food in the space has been eaten, and there is no need to store water now. The open space in the space is quite large, and there is still some space after everything is stuffed in.

So Xu Han asked everyone if they wanted to pack in personal belongings that needed to be moisture-proof, and everything that Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest brought was stuffed into the space.

Xu Han also stuffed all the things that she, Lu Chuan and Mu'er didn't need into the space.

Because of the humid environment, Mu'er and Xu Han developed a lot of eczema on their bodies, which was extremely itchy.

Many of them had their skin scratched, and Grandpa Zhao quickly prepared ointment for them to apply.

Xu Han is now four months pregnant, and this pregnancy has exhausted her.

Things were going better in the first few days since Grandpa Zhao took Xu Han's pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant.

After that, I started to have morning sickness constantly. Now it’s been four months, and the morning sickness is still very severe.

It was so serious that she couldn't eat anything and couldn't sleep well, so Xu Han looked particularly haggard.

During her pregnancy, Xu Han not only did not gain weight, but lost three or four kilograms.

Now Lu Chuan finds different ways to prepare food for Xu Han every day, just hoping that Xu Han can eat a few more bites.

During her pregnancy, Xu Han looked like a fragile glass doll, as if she would break immediately if touched even the slightest.

Grandpa Zhao also prescribed some antiemetic drugs for Xu Han to take care of herself, but they didn't work very well and she would still vomit them out after a while.

Xu Han was already in a bad mood because of the rain, and now she has become particularly irritable due to morning sickness.

I see something for no reason and get angry if something goes wrong.

Seeing how painful her mother's pregnancy was, Mu'er became even more obedient than before. She massaged Xu Han's legs and poured water for her every day, and she was busy and happy.

Looking at Mu'er like this, Xu Han sometimes felt that she owed Mu'er. She and Lu Chuan shouldn't have been so careless. They had a second child when Mu'er was still so young and needed company.

In front of Mu'er, Xu Han always tried hard to suppress her bad temper, but it was not so good when facing Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan now acts like a bullied young wife every day, and will be scolded by Xu Han if he is not careful.

What can he do? His wife has worked so hard to give birth to his child, and he cannot bear all this for her, so he just accepts the scolding.

Others now try to avoid Xu Han as much as possible, for fear that any action they take might offend her.

Xu Han herself is aware of her current situation and knows very well that she shouldn’t lose her temper like this, but many times she really can’t help it!

It's raining outside now, so it's impossible to go out and relax to relieve my mood.

Xu Han stayed in the house every day and didn't go out. Sometimes she even ate three meals a day in the house.

In addition to not being able to go out because of the rain, Xu Han also had severe morning sickness. She couldn't eat and her body was very weak and she had no strength at all.

She could only drink herbal medicine every day to regulate her morning sickness and eat to replenish her energy. Xu Han herself was afraid that she would die because of the morning sickness.

The days passed one after another, but what made people happy was that the vegetables that Xu Han had planted before were harvested a few days ago.

Because it rained for half a month in a row, the vegetables did not grow well, so we just harvested them all to prevent them from rotting if it rained for a long time later.

Although there are not many vegetables harvested in one box, the quantity is still considerable when many boxes are added together.

These vegetables can be eaten for at least one or two months.

There is too much rain now. Even if we plant a new batch of vegetables, they will not grow well without the sun.

So after the harvest, Lu Chuan was not in a hurry to plant other vegetables. He waited until the rainy season was over and decided whether to plant vegetables again based on the weather conditions.

Everyone who had nothing to do was idle every day. Xu Han was so haggard now that she couldn't even play mahjong.

Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest were so bored that they could only train Mu'er and Lu Chuan madly.

So poor Lu Chuan not only has to endure Xu Han's violent temper every day, but also the Taoist priest's devilish training. He simply has no desire to live, and his life is even more miserable than Xu Han's!

In an instant, he became the most miserable person in the family. Now the only reason for Lu Chuan to persevere was for the girl in Xu Han's belly.

I don’t know whether Lu Chuan and Xu Han’s wishes can be fulfilled this time.

No matter what, the days pass like this, with rain, drizzle, heavy rain, and cloudy days every day.

In the blink of an eye, it is July again. July is the rainy season. Since entering July, the rain has not stopped.
