Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

Chapter 185 Year 3

This is Liu Yuhan’s third year in Fulai Village.

The traditional Lunar New Year celebrations were repeated, with workers receiving gifts and red envelopes before the holiday. A large amount of food and daily necessities, including new clothes and shoes, were also delivered to the workers who were spending the Lunar New Year in the workshop.

Master had been taken to the capital by his senior brother to celebrate the New Year. Liu Yuhan, seeing that Master really liked the dolls, let him go. He packed a lot of food and drinks for them, prepared new clothes and shoes for Master, and bought some clothes for the dolls as well.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Mrs. Li looked out the gate from time to time. Liu Yang had not returned yet.

The Liu family prepared all the necessary food and ingredients in advance and did not use the knife before the fifth day of the New Year.

Liu Daling took his two sons and other grandchildren to the newly built ancestral hall in the village to worship their ancestors.

Dadada... a burst of rapid horse sounds came, and Liu Yuhan saw the two figures she missed. Huo Dong and Liu Yang finally came back...

Liu Yang was pulled into the house by his nanny and mother. Liu also took Liu Yao and Liu Yun into the kitchen. Huo Yi and Huo Er took the horse away on their own initiative.

Liu Yuhan looked at the man in front of him with a smile. His hair was slightly messy and he had some beard on his chin. He was wearing ink-colored clothes and a cloak of the same ink color. He looked more mature and stable.

He walked towards her and hugged her tightly.

Huo Dong finally felt at peace after holding her in his arms. It had only been half a year since he last saw her, and she had become even more beautiful.

"Xiao Han, I miss you so much..." Huo Dong hugged Liu Yuhan, smelling the faint fragrance on her hair, his heart filled with joy.

"I miss you too." Liu Yuhan responded to him, and put her arms around his chest under the wide cloak. She snuggled up to his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and felt very peaceful in her heart.

Liu Yuhan pinched the soft flesh on his waist, reminding him to let go. Huo Dong really didn't want to let her go. He quickly glanced around to see that there was no one around, and secretly kissed her forehead.

Liu Yuhan felt embarrassed and pushed him away with a red face.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law is back!" Xiao Si and Xiao Wu came back from outside the compound.

"Xiao Si Xiao Wu."

"Hello, brother-in-law, hehe."

"Boy Huo is back?! Brother Yang is back too." Liu Daling and others also came over.

"Grandpa, father-in-law, uncle, we are all back."

"Ah, ah, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, come into the main hall and sit down."

"Hello, brother-in-law." Liu Guang and Liu Lu also greeted Huo Dong.

"Liu Guang Liu Lu."

"Come in and sit down. Are you hungry? I'll get you something delicious." Liu Yuhan pulled his collar and said to him softly.

"Yeah. I'm hungry."

Liu Yuhan went into the kitchen and cooked lunch with the aunt and her mother. The New Year's meal was very sumptuous. Everyone sat in the main room, eating lunch and chatting.

After dinner, the Liu family packed some fried meatballs, vegetable balls, fried fish chunks, dried meat, etc. for Huo Dong. Since it was not convenient for them to ride horses, they packed them in two large packages.

"Xiaohan, follow me to the horses. I have something to give you."

"Ah."

Liu Yuhan followed him to where the horses were tied. Huo Dong took a black wooden hairpin from the small package tied to the side of the horse.

"This is something I made recently. Do you like it?"

"Aren't I still wearing the gift you gave me last time?"

"Take turns wearing them." Huo Dong said happily.

"You look good in anything you wear."

"Are you tired? Your beard is growing out."

"Haha...Xiaohan, am I being sloppy?"

"No. Very manly." Liu Yuhan teased him.

Huo Dong looked at her smiling face, pulled her behind the horse, hugged her, and wrapped Liu Yuhan in gentle kisses. Liu Yuhan felt a little sting on her face, and her heart was beating wildly. How could this person be so bold...

Huo Dong restrained himself and pulled Liu Yuhan away. His body was very hot and abnormal. He was a normal man and he was afraid of scaring the girl.

Liu Yuhan didn't understand and touched his stubble with his hand.

"Your beard pricks me."

"Xiaohan, don't... I'm going back first."

"Okay. Go back and have a good rest."

"Okay. Can I come see you on the second day of the new year?"

"Ah, the second day of the Chinese New Year is the day to go back to my mother's home." Liu Yuhan suddenly said this.

"I mean, wouldn't that be bad?"

"I'll wait for you in the county town. Can I meet you there?"

"Oh. Then I'll wait for you at the pharmacy after noon and get you something."

"Okay, I will definitely come."

Huo Dong, Huo Yi and Huo Er went back.

The Liu family started to boil water in a big pot, and the children began to take a bath and change into new clothes. Liu Daling and his two sons began to wash the horses and cows and feed them water and wine.

"Lightning, Laibao, come and take a bath!" The two sheepdogs have grown very tall!

"Stop, don't pounce on me. Don't you know how big you are?!" Liu Yuhan scolded them.

"Also, stop running up the mountain all the time and causing chaos. If I find out about it again, I won't give you any chicken legs."

"Wangwang..." Lightning and Laibao circled in front of her.

Liu Yuhan was unmoved. After washing them, he told them to go out and bask in the sun.

"Walk a little further, shake off the water on your body, and get some sun. Don't catch a cold."

"Xiaohan, you should go take a shower too. We will prepare dinner."

"Okay, mom, thank you for your hard work."

After they finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, they began to pay their respects to their elders and give them red envelopes.

After distributing the red envelopes, Liu Yuhan and Old Lady Jiang distributed this year's benefits and wages to their families. The Huo family still harvested watermelons at one tael each. With 300 acres of watermelons, they harvested nearly 14 taels of watermelon alone.

Old Lady Jiang took out 10,000 taels and gave 2,000 taels to each of the two small families. Liu Shihu and his wife thought it was too much and refused to accept it. All the household expenses were paid by the family, and the house and land were also bought by the niece. They really didn't need to spend any money.

"Take it. Even if the harvest is better in the future, Mom will still give you this amount per year. Everything Xiaohan does requires money. Our family can harvest more than others because of Xiaohan's hard work, so don't complain."

"Mom, this is way too much. We don't even need it, so how could we possibly complain?"

"Take it. Brother Yang and Brother Lu will also get married in the future, as will Sister Yun."

"Just take it if your mother tells you to. You've worked hard all year round." Liu Daling also said.

The two young men put away the banknotes and said nothing more.

The family sat in the main room and talked, mostly listening to Liu Yang.

"Years ago, I participated in a battle with my master, no, the general. The Japanese pirates also developed explosives. Although their power was not as strong as ours, the number of casualties was also high." Liu Yang's face suddenly became sad.

"My good friend who often plays with me accidentally injured his foot and had to retire."

"We are currently focusing on defense. The general said that the time has not come yet. One day, we will attack their lair."

"Brother Yang, you and Huo kid have to be more careful."

"Yeah yeah."

"I understand, Grandpa, Dad."

From ancient times to the present, war has always been cruel to mankind. Only when a country becomes truly prosperous and strong and its people are united will foreigners dare not invade you.
