Crossing the Unknown Country

The whole family had a happy meal together. During the meal, Uncle Su He said happily: "I must make more tofu, do a good job in this business, build a house as soon as possible, and find a good wife for Su Pei in two years."

Su Pei blushed and said, "I'm still young! I won't get married until I'm 20. Don't worry about me. I can make money by myself."

The other kids all laughed out loud. They were still little anyway, so they just watched Su Pei make a fool of himself.

Grandma Su He smiled and said, "Let's make more money together, let the children take exams, go out of this small village, and see the world." She finally understood that books are the best books, books are the best books, this is what her old man often said, this time it came true for Su He. This child brought real money to the family, all of which came from studying.

Grandpa Su He also felt that his family had been hiding for so long, and there had been two emperors, so there shouldn't be any problems with his family. So he shouldn't let the children stay in this small mountain village anymore, it's time to go out, such excellent children shouldn't be wasted here.

The most likely to be successful are the eldest grandsons of the two families. The two younger grandsons are still young and very lively, so we need to wait and see. If this granddaughter was a boy, there would be no problem, but unfortunately she is a girl. Just looking at her ability to make money, she is not an ordinary person. Their Su family also accumulated virtues and blessings to have such a treasure.

The Su family, from his grandfather's generation, had been a family of scholars. Coming from a small town, until his father's generation entered the government, they had always upheld the spirit of scholars, passing down poetry and books, and putting morality first.

Since he was brought to the village by his father, he has been living in seclusion here and gradually integrated into the life here. However, he never forgot the ancestral teachings and made all children learn to read and study. Even when the conditions of the grandchildren's family were poor and there was no writing brush, paper or inkstone, they did not stop learning. All descendants of the Su family must study, and they must understand the truth and distinguish right from wrong. At the very least, they must not be fools.

He did not do well, and his children and grandchildren were around him, but they lived in poverty. He had been working very hard, but the family did not get better. It was his granddaughter who led the family to get better and better. He was also respected by the villagers, and began to teach and educate people, and gradually became closer to each family. This was all thanks to his granddaughter. No matter what, he would listen to his children in the future, and it would be right. I heard that they made a lot of money in the city this time, and they are really getting more and more promising.

Grandpa Su He was very pleased that his family was getting better and better. Seeing his children still loving each other, he was already content.

Su He prepared with his father at night. He had to make more noodles in the next few days, and he also had to sort out the recipes. The New Year dishes were sweet and sour spare ribs, steamed fish, steamed pork with rice flour, garlic chicken wings, preserved vegetable braised pork, and egg tofu soup. These were all ingredients available in this era, but people had not yet figured out how to eat them, or they were not cooked properly.

A week later, Su He followed his father and elder brother to Fengyu City. This time, he clearly felt that there were more people on the road, some were going out, some were going in. It was probably the New Year. People outside were rushing back, and those who were in a hurry to go home were rushing home. They walked on the road and looked at these people, and felt that people were just running back and forth for a living.

As they were walking, the wheel of a cart in front of them broke. They were two carts in a row, both parked there. They happened to pass by, and Su He's father saw them and asked the driver, "Can you fix the broken cart?"

The driver said with embarrassment, "I can't fix it myself. This place is a bit far from the city. They were rushing back to their hometown from other places. I guess the wheel was damaged on the way."

Su He's father took out the tools from his car, went to the side and cut a large branch, and made a small axle with it, and fixed the wheel. Su He asked his father to bring these tools. There was a cabinet in the car, and he could use the tools to protect himself, and he could also fix the car if there was any problem. So he didn't fix his own car, but he helped others fix it.
