Chapter 600-1 Return to the Mountains
Xu Han nodded Zhao Yunyun's head and said, "Girl, you should have sent someone to call us. You have been staying here alone for so long. Have you come back for dinner?"
Zhao Yunyun giggled and said, "Yes, I ate. As soon as I arrived, they prepared food and hot water for me. Look, I have already taken a shower."
After saying that, Zhao Yunyun playfully turned around in front of Xu Han.
Xu Han looked at her with a smile, thinking, "After not seeing her for a few years, this girl's personality hasn't changed at all. She's still as lively and cute as before. That's great."
Lu Chuan interrupted at the right time and said, "It's cold outside, you guys go in first."
After saying this, he went to ask someone to set the table.
After dinner, Xu Han said to Zhao Yunyun, "Yunhua went back to the mountains yesterday, so we will go back tomorrow as well.
You should have a good rest tonight. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say.
Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest miss you too and are looking forward to your return. Let's go home early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Yunyun nodded in agreement. She had been traveling for half a month and was very tired, so she did not refuse and went back to her room to rest.
After Zhao Yunyun left, Xu Han asked someone to call Li Wen and Juxiang over.
"My master and I will return to the mountains tomorrow morning.
Li Wen is in charge of the mountain goods shop and the wine shop these days, and Juxiang, you will continue to be in charge of the work in the temporary workshop.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the shop must be very busy these days. You all need to keep a close eye on things and make sure no mistakes are made.
If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it together. If you can't solve it, send someone back to me."
Xu Han paused, picked up the water cup beside her and took a sip, then continued, "This year you all go back to the mountains for the New Year.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, I will ask Han Qi to pick you up. Before that, the shop will be open for business as usual. "
The two nodded in agreement and talked about some problems they had encountered recently. After Xu Han answered them one by one, he let them go back and rest.
The next morning, Xu Han and the other two took the supplies they had purchased yesterday, while Han Qi drove the carriage, and the four of them returned to the mountains.
Maybe it was because she hadn’t been home for too long. From the moment she walked out of the hospital gate, Xu Han’s heart started pounding.
I don’t know whether he was looking forward to the recent changes in the mountains or was excited about seeing his two children soon.
No matter which one, she is looking forward to it.
Han Qi sent the three people to the boat boarding location, and then drove the carriage back to the nearby village.
First, leave the carriage at a family's house and pay them three or four cents a day, and that family will take good care of the horses.
After Xu Han and Han Qi came back, they asked Lu Chuan to row the boat, and they started to walk back.
After an unknown amount of time, the boat finally reached the shore. Xu Han looked at the smoke rising from the distance and her heart beat faster.
He kept urging Lu Chuan to move back quickly.
Because they brought so many things, it would definitely be very heavy if everyone had to carry them all back, so everyone decided to let Han Qi stay here first while the others went back to call for help.
Han Qi certainly had no objection to this. Three of the four were masters, so naturally he was the one to stay and guard.
After not coming back for more than a month, the originally repaired path has become wider and smoother, and there are traces of rolling all over the road. I guess it was the Taoist priest who led them to repair it.
"This road is really well built. It's compacted with a stone roller, so there won't be much mud even on rainy days."
This was not the first time Lu Chuan came back, so he knew that the road had been repaired a long time ago. He replied to Xu Han, "The Taoist priest brought people to press it with a stone roller.
When they were pressing it, they sprinkled a layer of gravel on top so that they could go out even when it rained."
Xu Han smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, not bad, you are thoughtful."
A few people talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the place.
Xu Han looked from afar and saw that the houses on the other side of the valley had all been built, and even the walls of the courtyards had been built.
After it was all built, it was several times larger than the house in the old house.
In a field not far away, there was a group of people clearing the land, and from time to time you could hear the people working talking and laughing.
The closer she got to home, the bigger the smile on Xu Han's face became. She thought to herself, "It's better to go home. The air at home is much fresher than in the county town."
Zhao Yunyun's eyes have been fixed on this since she came in.
She really didn't know that the mountains would have changed so much in just a few years since she came back.
It is no longer the empty and deserted place it was before.
On the contrary, now in the deep mountains, wisps of smoke rise slowly, and the calls of chickens, ducks and geese are endless, it looks like a paradise.
Especially when you look closer, you can see that every scene has been carefully designed. It is really beautiful with every step.
Of course, this kind of beauty is different from the beauty created by artificial decoration. The beauty here is all natural and integrated with nature, which is very pleasing to the eye.
It is no exaggeration to call it a paradise on earth. After several years of recovery, the scenery here is completely different from what it was before the natural disaster, and there is no trace of destruction caused by the war.
When the three of them approached, the people working in the fields also noticed them.
One by one, they stopped what they were doing and started greeting each other.
Xu Han smiled slightly and said, "We were not at home during this period. Is everything okay at home?"
Everyone started talking at once, and in the end all they said was that everything was fine at home.
Xu Han exchanged a few words with them and looked at their progress in clearing the land.
I have to say, work gets done faster when there are more people. In just this period of time, Xu Han estimated that they had already opened up about 10 acres of land.
This progress is not slow at all, it can even be said to be fast.
Although there is already a lot of land at the foot of the mountain, who would complain about having too little land in this era!
Naturally, all the land that can be reclaimed in the mountains should be reclaimed, and the land in the mountains should be left for these people to farm.
As for the land at the foot of the mountain, we will let a few smart and capable people look after it, and rent the rest out to people nearby, or find some long-term workers to help work in the fields.
If it really doesn't work, just spend money to buy a group of strong laborers to specialize in farming. In short, there are many ways and the land will never be left to waste.
After a quick glance, Xu Han hurried home.
Before leaving, Lu Chuan did not forget to arrange for someone to drive a ox cart to pick up Han Qi.
Maybe the two children heard the dog barking, or knew that they had returned, so before Xu Han and the other two arrived at the place, the two children rushed out of the house.
While running, he shouted, "Mom, Mom, Dad, Aunt Yun."
Although the children may not remember what Zhao Yunyun looks like clearly, they all know that they have an Aunt Yun who loves them very much.
The reason was simple. Zhao Yunyun often had people send things back, and her family often mentioned her, so the two children were no strangers to her.
