Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 254 Clearing the Snow

"Then use two layers of cotton cloth! This way the filtered water will be cleaner." Lu Chuan replied.

"Okay, let's fold it and put it on top, and then tie the mouth of the jar with a rope so that the cloth won't fall down." Xu Han replied.

The two of them worked together and soon finished the cotton cloth.

After the filter cotton cloth was ready, the water in the pot just melted.

Xu Han scooped out the water with a ladle and poured it into the vat. The clean water flowed directly into the vat through the cotton cloth, and the impurities were filtered onto the cotton cloth.

Keep doing this repeatedly, and after the water in the pot is drained, continue to melt the snow.

Xu Han didn't stop until it was time to make lunch.

I simply fried two dishes and cooked some rice, and today's lunch was ready.

After lunch, Xu Han couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.

Lu Chuan helped put a lot of charcoal fire in the bathroom. After Xu Han boiled the water, the bathroom became warm.

Xu Han took a full half hour to take this bath. Not only did she wash her hair carefully, she also rubbed herself to clean off the dirt on her body, and then rinsed it several times with clean water.

Only after I felt refreshed did I change into clean clothes and leave the bathroom.

After Xu Han finished taking a shower, she and Lu Chuan gave Mu'er a bath in the bathroom.

Mu'er was relatively well behaved when taking a bath. She didn't cry or make a fuss. However, it was a little difficult when washing her hair. She accidentally got shampoo in her eyes.

The same thing happened after trying several times. In the end, Lu Chuan just held Mu'er horizontally while Xu Han was responsible for washing Mu'er's hair.

After Mu'er finished washing, Lu Chuan started to wash himself. Afraid that Mu'er would catch a cold if he went out, he wiped his hair and let him stay in the bathroom for a while.

After his hair was a little dry, I quickly put him into the bed with the heated kang to prevent him from catching a cold.

This afternoon, no one did anything but took turns taking showers.

Only after everyone finished showering did they sit together and start drying their hair. Mu'er and Xu Han, who had showered earlier, had their hair already completely dry.

The two of them sat around the brazier and chatted and laughed with everyone.

"It's snowing heavily all day today, and I don't know when it will stop." Lu Chuan said.

"Looking at the situation, I guess we won't be able to stop today. Let's go clean up the snow in the yard before going to bed! Otherwise, the snow will be even thicker tomorrow." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Okay, do it after your hair is dry. Start by clearing the snow on the roof. The snow on the roof is quite thick." The Taoist priest continued.

"It's getting dark, you must be careful. I can't help you clear the snow off the roof. I'll take Mu'er to cook dinner later. What would you like to eat tonight?" Xu Han asked.

"Make some porridge and some fried vegetables! You definitely can't take care of Mu'er by yourself, so just make it as simple as possible. See if there is anything left in the space. It's okay to eat something from there." Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, I got it. I'll take care of it later."

Everyone stayed for a while, until their hair was completely dry, and then started to move. The three of them were all skilled, so clearing the snow off the roof was not a difficult task.

The Taoist priest flew directly to the roof and used tools to push the snow downwards, and the snow slid down along the roof.

Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao were below loading the snow that the Taoist priest had pushed down onto the straw curtains.

Xu Han took Mu'er to the kitchen to cook, and there were some dishes in the space.

But there was no porridge, so Xu Han made porridge and hot steamed buns.

It was paired with some pickled vegetables, and I also made an egg custard for Mu'er.

After the porridge was ready, Xu Han took out some of the remaining food from the space and had another simple meal.

When Xu Han was cooking, Mu'er sat obediently on the little chair, eating the dried fruits prepared by Xu Han. She didn't cry or make a fuss, and accompanied her mother to cook obediently.

Many times Xu Han felt that Mu'er was definitely here to repay her gratitude. She was so well-behaved and easy to take care of.

"It's time to eat." Xu Han served the food and shouted loudly to the outside.

"Coming." Grandpa Zhao replied.

Seeing that everyone started to walk towards the main room, Xu Han also brought some hot water into the main room.

"Wash your hands with hot water first! I'll go serve everyone food."

"Wife, I'll go help you too." Lu Chuan hurriedly followed Xu Han.

"How is it, have you cleared the snow on the roof?" Xu Han said while feeding Mu'er egg custard.

"It's almost done. The Taoist priest has pushed them all down and they are piled in the yard. After dinner, we can put the remaining ones on the straw mats." Lu Chuan said.

"You guys are pretty fast then. After dinner, let's carry it outside with torches."

"Okay, let's eat first. Then we'll light a few more torches in the yard so we can see more clearly."

"Today, everyone wasted some time taking showers. Originally, we could have gotten through today without clearing the snow, but the snow is getting heavier, so it's better to clean it up.

It’s too late to do the ones in the yard today, let’s do the ones on the roof first!” The Taoist priest continued.

"Well, there's not much left, so it'll be quick to clean up."

After everyone quickly finished dinner, Xu Han put the packed snow into the space, and Lu Chuan took Xu Han outside with a torch to transport the snow.

"It's really cold. The snow doesn't even make it seem dark." Xu Han said as he walked.

"Well, after you finish dumping the snow, go back quickly and go to bed early with Mu'er. We can move the rest out tomorrow morning. Anyway, we have a lot of straw curtains at home, so we don't need these two."

"I am mainly afraid that if we don't transport it out in time today and it continues to snow at night, we won't be able to find the straw mats tomorrow.

It will definitely be buried under the snow, and we will have to dig snow tomorrow, which will be very troublesome." Xu Han said.

"Yeah, that's right. It looks like the snow tonight is quite heavy. I guess it will snow very deeply tomorrow."

"Then wait until you finish cleaning up and I'll transport it out. It's not far from the creek anyway." Xu Han said.

"Okay, I'll go with you then."

The two of them quickly went to the stream. When they arrived, Xu Han took the torch and Lu Chuan quickly poured away the snow.

Then the two of them ran home together. The wind outside was so strong that they couldn't open their eyes.

After being out for just a short while, Xu Han felt shivering all over from the cold.

After arriving home, Xu Han went back to the house to see Mu'er, while the others continued to shovel snow.

Several people were busy until about eight o'clock in the evening before they finally cleared the snow off the roof.
