Chapter 325: Building a Cowshed
"Do you want to tell Xiaohan and Xiaochuan? I saw that you didn't mention this matter today." Grandpa Zhao asked.
"We still have to reveal some information, but we must not say that other countries will attack our country because of Xiaohan's specialness.
After all, this is not true, and all this is just my guess.
Maybe other countries don’t know about this at all. After all, as far as I know, there is no one more powerful than me.
This possibility is quite high. When I was looking for a girl, it took me more than a year. Others are not so capable. "The Taoist priest said proudly.
"Hahahaha, just brag. But this time I'd rather believe what you say.
After all, I don’t want Xiaohan, Xiaochuan and the children to be in any danger.
You should also ask your fellow disciples outside to pay more attention to the movements of other countries, so that if something happens, we can respond more easily."
"Do I need you to remind me of this? Otherwise, why do you think I left Yunhua outside?
As for my fellow disciples, not all of them can be trusted.
It is better to be careful in everything and not rely too much on others. "
"Okay, just keep it in mind. It's getting late, so go and rest today."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should go to bed early too."
After saying this, the Taoist priest went back to his room without looking back, took off his shoes, lay down and fell asleep.
After traveling for such a long time, I'm already exhausted.
Now that I have eaten and drunk enough, and am in a place that I am very familiar with and feel at ease in, I naturally sleep very soundly.
The next morning, everyone got up late. When Xu Han got up, the rain outside had completely stopped.
You can vaguely see the sun flickering in the sky, sometimes appearing and sometimes hiding in the clouds, as if it is playing hide-and-seek with a child.
"Get up, there's freshly prepared breakfast in the pot. We just finished eating, so you should go and have your meal." Grandpa Zhao said kindly.
"Hey, I'll go right away. Where's Lu Chuan? Why can't I see him?"
"He and the Taoist priest went out after breakfast. They must have gone out to look for tree trunks. They said they would build a shed for the cows first."
"We should build a cowshed first. The donkey shed in the backyard is too small and can't accommodate them both."
By the time Xu Han finished breakfast, Grandpa Zhao had already brought the two children out.
Xu Han took Ze'er and started to feed him, while Mu'er sat aside and ate by herself.
The children had not finished eating yet when they heard the Taoist priest's chattering voice coming from outside the yard.
There was also Lu Chuan's voice whispering in the background, but Xu Han couldn't hear clearly what they were saying because they were far away.
Xu Han's gossipy mentality instantly came to her mind. She quickly fed Ze'er some complementary food and then came out with the child in her arms.
"I told you that this pillar was too short, but you insisted that it was okay. Look, it's so short, and it was all carried back in vain." Lu Chuan resisted aggrievedly.
"It's back now, so it's back. It can always be used. Why don't you bring it back?"
"Forget it, let's just make do with it. It won't collapse anyway."
"What do you know? You make random decisions every day and you don't even listen to what Xiaochuan says." Grandpa Zhao retorted.
"You're not going to lift it, but you're still nitpicking. You're the only one who's causing trouble."
Xu Han listened silently and found it very funny. Ever since the Taoist priest left, the house had not been so lively for a long time.
The atmosphere is best when the Taoist priest is here, and everyone is happy and noisy.
"How do you plan to build the cowshed? Where do you plan to build it?" Xu Han interrupted.
"Just make the room next to the donkey shed bigger. There's enough space here, it can accommodate everything," Lu Chuan replied.
"That's fine too. They're just next to each other, and it looks good."
This year, Xu Han didn't plant any vegetables in the backyard. All the vegetables were planted outside the yard.
Xu Han planned to clear out the backyard as well, and when he had time later, he would get some bluestone and pave the entire ground with bluestone slabs.
Then make a small fish pond in the backyard to raise some beautiful little fish, and then build an ecological tank. It is simply perfect.
By then, some flowers and plants can be planted in the backyard, and crops can be dried on the bluestone slabs in the backyard during the busy farming season.
“After we finish building the cowshed, we’ll also clean up the chicken, duck and goose pens.
The ground outside is too wet now to grow sweet potatoes."
"Okay, we won't go to the fields today. Let's tidy up the things at home first. This way we will have the energy to take care of things in the fields." Xu Han agreed.
"You are really waiting for me to come back to work!" The Taoist priest looked at everyone in disbelief.
"What do you think? Was I just kidding you?" Grandpa Zhao laughed.
"If I don't come back, will you stop planting?"
"Don't you know that you are coming back?" Lu Chuan also replied in a mean way.
"Master, don't listen to them. The sweet potato field has already been ridged. All that's left is to plant the sweet potatoes.
But there is indeed a lot of work to do later. Corn, soybeans, rice and peanuts have not been planted yet." Xu Han also smiled and continued.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, only the Taoist priest looked depressed. Why did he suddenly feel that he came back at the wrong time? Is it too late to leave now?
"Don't just stand there in a daze, dig the hole quickly." Grandpa Zhao was particularly polite and handed a shovel to the Taoist priest, urging him to work quickly.
The Taoist priest who came to his senses could only accept his fate. Forget it, just get on with the work. He had done it before anyway.
Working here is better than working in the capital, where people are eaten without leaving any bones. At least I can sleep well.
The three of them worked hard for a whole day and finally built the area in the backyard for feeding livestock.
When it was evening, Xu Han still cooked a lot of food.
But today's is the same as yesterday's, and there are many dishes that the Taoist priest likes to eat.
"Well, I ate too much. My stomach is about to burst." The Taoist priest said while rubbing his stomach.
"You're such an old man, but you can still eat so much that you're full. It's like you haven't eaten for 800 years." Grandpa Zhao started to challenge the Taoist priest again.
Xu Han discovered that Grandpa Zhao had been scolding the Taoist priest many times since he came back yesterday. Sometimes the Taoist priest would retort, and sometimes he would just keep silent.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan didn't know what to say. They were very careful to reduce their presence as much as possible, for fear of getting into trouble by accident.
Finally, Grandpa Zhao got up and cooked a soup for everyone to help them digest the food. After everyone drank it, they went around the house to digest the food before going back to their rooms to rest.
Have a good night's sleep...
