Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 247 Drought Year 3 4

Time without entertainment always passes especially quickly. This disaster year is almost over, but there is still no sign of rain in the sky.

In this way, several people waited and waited, and finally entered the twelfth lunar month.

Didn't they say that droughts only last for three years? I don't know if it will rain this twelfth month.

It's just that everyone has had enough of living without water, and they all want it to rain soon so that they can take a nice hot bath and soak and wash themselves.

Of course, they didn't just sit at home waiting for rain every day, they still had to do what they had to do.

The weather is getting colder, so we still need to prepare the charcoal fire this year.

This year Xu Han was able to bring her children to help, and the charcoal was burned quite quickly.

Everyone is looking forward to a heavy snow or rain before the New Year, so that they can have a good New Year with plenty of rainwater and a lively time.

But things did not go as planned. Everyone waited until New Year's Eve, but there was no heavy rain or snow.

But the New Year must be celebrated. This year, because Mu'er, who is already one year and one month old, has arrived, although the conditions are limited, it is much more lively than before.

The room was filled with the sound of people teasing Mu'er, and everyone was welcoming the New Year with a smile.

As the youngest member, Muer did not disappoint everyone and was particularly cooperative.

Because there was no water, no New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared this year, and everyone still ate the food in the space.

However, there were many more dishes than usual. Xu Han was so happy this year that she even took out the fruit wine she had brewed before, and everyone toasted to welcome the New Year.

Little Mu'er also sat on the dining chair that Lu Chuan specially made for him, holding his own small plate and spoon, and raising a small cup filled with a little bit of water to clink glasses with everyone.

The little person holding a small cup looks so cute and adorable, which can melt everyone's heart.

"Come on, Mu'er, cheers." The Taoist priest joked with Mu'er while holding the wine glass.

Mu'er was also very considerate and clumsily imitated the Taoist priest, tilting her head back and drinking the juice.

As expected, he didn't drink much and most of it came out.

"Hahahaha, Mu'er is so smart. She's really a little genius." Grandpa Zhao praised her generously.

"This kid is very smart! Yesterday he took a piece of fine Hetian jade, but I asked him if he would give it to me no matter what, and he just kept stuffing it into his arms." said the Taoist priest.

"Just like his mother, both are money-grubbers." Grandpa Zhao also said.

"Is it bad to be greedy for money? We are a family and we know that valuable things cannot be given to others casually, right, Xiao Mu'er?" Xu Han said with a smile.

I don't know if Mu'er understood it, but it didn't stop him from dancing with his hands and feet, and he kept making "oh oh oh" sounds from time to time. Everyone was amused.

I have to say that since Mu'er came into the family, there is obviously a lot more laughter than before.

Especially in the second half of the year, although life became a little harder, the quality of life declined a lot.

But it doesn’t matter if there is a very fun baby at home, which makes the originally difficult days full of vitality.

Everyone smiles more thanks to Mu'er. Sometimes when we see the little actions of the child, we find them so funny and cute.

Especially when Mu'er turned one, he was even more fun. He would laugh no matter who teased him, and he never spoiled the fun at all.

Sometimes I would also learn some simple sentences, such as reduplicated words like “fanfan, nana, pat pat”.

Now she has also learned to call people simply, but what makes Xu Han particularly unhappy is that the first word Mu'er can say is not "mother", but fortunately it is not "daddy" either.

Instead, when Grandpa Zhao was reading medical books to Mu'er and introducing herbs as usual, Mu'er followed the names of the herbs. For example, when Grandpa Zhao was talking about Forsythia suspensa, he just said the word "lian" and Mu'er followed it with "qiao".

Later, she received more and more names of medicines, and Xu Han was not satisfied with this, so she began to teach Mu'er to call her mother.

Maybe it was too difficult to call her mother, so Mu'er called "Mom~" afterwards, but she called the word "Daddy" very clearly.

After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, the group started playing in the main room.

First, the Taoist priest took Mu'er to play with the rocking horse and the stroller. After Mu'er got tired of playing, the Taoist priest started playing chess with Grandpa Zhao.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han began to coax Mu'er to sleep. After Mu'er fell asleep, Xu Han pulled the Taoist priest and a few others to play mahjong.

Ever since I had Mu'er, I have less time to play mahjong. It happened that Mu'er fell asleep today, and today is New Year's Eve and I need to stay up all night. If not now, when will I play mahjong?

The few of them played until late at night, and they were so sleepy that they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, after the group got up and had breakfast, Xu Han took Mu'er to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest.

Mu'er still had to wait a long time for Xu Han to teach her how to greet the New Year! Later, it became a muscle memory. As soon as she saw Xu Han take out the wooden basin and put it on the ground, Mu'er would kneel down and kowtow.

Just as Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest sat down, Xu Han took out the basin, and Mu'er knelt down and kowtowed hard.

For a moment, everyone couldn't stop laughing, and Mu'er, who didn't know the reason, also laughed along.

"Mu'er, happy new year~"

"fun"

"Congratulations~"

"fiscal"

"Healthy body~"

"Health"

"Everything is as it should be"

"meaning"

"Mu'er, you are so awesome." Xu Han kissed Mu'er's little face affectionately.

For a moment, the mother and son were laughing and joking together, and the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao generously gave them a big red envelope.

As soon as Mu'er got it, she walked towards Xu Han with trembling steps.

It's not that I can't walk steadily, it's just that it's cold in the winter and I'm wearing thicker clothes.

As soon as Mu'er approached Xu Han, she stuffed the red envelope into Xu Han's arms. After Xu Han took it, Mu'er staggered to the wooden basin again.

He knelt down and kowtowed with a click, then mumbled something incoherently, which Xu Han didn't understand.

Everyone became even happier when they saw Mu'er laughing like this. Mu'er also laughed and then stretched out her little hand to ask the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao for red envelopes.

Everyone was laughing so hard that tears came out when they saw Mu'er's expression. Xu Han quickly said, "I didn't teach you that! You can't blame me for this."

"Mu'er inherits her cleverness from you." Grandpa Zhao laughed.

Seeing that he still didn't give him a red envelope, Mu'er became anxious and kowtowed again. Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest hurriedly took Mu'er into his arms and kissed her affectionately.

Unexpectedly, Mu'er didn't buy it at all, and stretched out her little hand to reach into the arms where the Taoist priest had just taken out the red envelope.

"Here you go, here you go, you little bastard."

The first day of the new year is really lively today. There has been laughter all morning. It is so much fun.
