Now, the Su family rarely goes out.

The women get together every day to chat and do needlework.

The literacy class taught by Su Yuanyuan now has classes for about an hour every morning. The classes are still held in the main hall of the Su family. Zhou Lizheng's cousins ​​and Li Chunsheng come to learn every day.

Su Yuanyuan also asked her eldest uncle and his wife, second uncle and his wife, fourth uncle to learn from her, and her two aunts to learn as well. Her goal was to make the entire Su family illiterate.

The students in the room were seated separately by gender. Su Yuanyuan stood in the front and taught very enthusiastically. She also tested her teaching every day.

There were both elders and juniors in the room. The younger ones were afraid of getting the answer wrong and being embarrassed in front of the elders, and the elders were even more afraid of being embarrassed in front of the younger ones. So for the sake of their own face, everyone studied very seriously. They were afraid that Su Yuanyuan would test them in front of everyone, and they were even more afraid that they would not get the answer right even if she tested them.

Su Yuanyuan never thought about teaching people to be real scholars. She just wanted everyone to learn common characters. In the future, they would be able to write letters to their families, read documents, and understand notices posted by the government. In the future, when they go out to do business, they will not be cheated and will not even know what is written on the documents they have stamped their fingerprints on.

Su Yuanyuan still urges her two sisters to practice calligraphy for a while every day. Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao also listen to their younger sister very much. Although they are not willing to write, they insist on practicing calligraphy every day.

While Su Yuanyuan urged them, she would practice for a while every day. She would also use the paints bought by Su Antong to draw what she wanted every day. Every day was quite fulfilling.

Sister Nianchun and sister were full of envy when they saw them learning to read. Su Yuanyuan saw their envy and suggested that they sit at the back of the literacy class and learn to read together. Sister Nianchun was overjoyed when she heard this and hurried to thank Su Yuanyuan.

Su Yuanyuan also gave Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao the sand table that they had used when they were just learning to write, and the Nianchun sisters thanked them profusely again.

Sister Nianchun was very dutiful and followed the students in the literacy class. She knew she was not young anymore and would not go in front of the Zhou family children. She knew how to avoid suspicion. Old Lady Su saw this and was satisfied.

In Mrs. Su's heart, as long as the two sisters abide by their duties, she will not treat them unfairly. Since she has already extended a hand, she will try her best to help.

Su Anton increased the intensity of the children who followed him to study. They sat in the study room all day long. However, Su Anton would let them take a break every hour.

Not to mention the children, even he himself, apart from teaching the children and answering their questions, he also studies all the time. Su An Dong wants to continue the scientific research, and he knows very well what he should do.

He was originally a person who hated studying, but he was forced to become a diligent student. Fortunately, Su Anton had a strong memory, otherwise he would have gone crazy.

Although Su Zhihao didn't like to learn these things in his heart, he was a real adult at heart. He knew very well that if he wanted to have a future here, the imperial examination was the path he had to take. He knew very well what he wanted and what he should do. So Su Zhihao studied very hard.

The most leisurely person in the Su family is the old lady Su. However, this old lady is very motivated and is also learning to recognize the characters here. Sometimes she will attend Su Yuanyuan's literacy class. It is unbearable for a person who can read to be blind.

Early that morning, when the Su family got up, they found that it was snowing heavily outside.

When Su Yuanyuan heard that it was snowing, she ran out of the house out of curiosity. She stood in the yard, looking at the heavy snow. She thought: This time I have work to do, let's sweep the snow!

The snow kept falling heavily and didn't stop until dark.

As far as Old Mrs. Su could remember, there had never been such heavy snow here, and the winter had never been so cold.

Even Su Anping couldn't help but find Old Lady Su and said anxiously, "Mom, this weather is abnormal! It has never been this cold since I was a child, let alone such heavy snow. Why do I feel unwell?"

Old Mrs. Su thought to herself: Your feeling is right, it is not good, there will be drought next year!

Although she complained in her heart, Mrs. Su still comforted her eldest son, "Yes, it doesn't feel like a good year, but don't worry too much. We have so much food secretly stored in our cellar! And with the food we harvested in autumn, we have enough food. Even if there is anything, we are not afraid." The food that the Su family has now is enough for the Su family to eat for two years, not to mention that Su Yuanyuan has secretly stored so much in her space. They will definitely not starve.

Mrs. Su's words comforted Su Anping, who was feeling a little uneasy. Su Anping was glad that he listened to his third brother after the autumn harvest and didn't sell any of his grain, but kept it all at home. Unlike some families in the village, they sold a lot of grain because they thought the grain price was high after the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, grain prices were 20% higher than in previous years. Many people thought the prices were high and sold their grain. Zhou Lizheng even came to the Su family to ask if they would sell their grain and sell it together.

Old Lady Su refused and advised Zhou Lizheng not to sell the grain. Old Lady Su said: The past two years have been bad, so it is best not to sell the grain. This year, the temperature is lower than in previous years, and winter wheat may not be able to be planted. It is better not to sell the grain. There is surplus grain at home, so there is no need to panic.

Although Zhou Lizheng listened to what Old Lady Su said, he only half listened to her. He thought that although it was cold early, it might not be that cold, and the weather might get warmer. He held a glimmer of hope in his heart. So the Zhou family still sold some food. Fortunately, they didn't sell much, which was enough for the family to eat.

As the temperature dropped and it became clear that winter wheat could not be planted, Zhou Lizheng began to regret that he should have listened to Old Lady Su and not sold any grain.

The Su family didn't know when the snow stopped. They only knew that it had stopped when they woke up the next morning.

As soon as they got up in the morning, the Su brothers began to clean up the snow. The first thing they cleaned up was the snow on the roof. There was too much snow and they were afraid that it would damage the roof.

Su Zhihao and other cousins ​​were also helping to clean up the snow in the yard.

Su Zhicheng lived to be 17 years old. It was the first time he saw such heavy snow and the first time he experienced what real snow was.

Although it snowed here in previous years, it was not heavy. Moreover, the snow that fell in previous years could not be retained, and basically melted away in the end. It was the first time he had seen such a scene of white everywhere. Su Zhicheng looked at the snow-covered mountains in the distance and was a little dazed for a moment.
