Crossing the Unknown Country

The next morning, the three of them quietly got up and started working. Su He called his two brothers to make dumplings together. The three of them divided the work and cooperated. The eldest brother Su Feng washed and cut the meat, and the second brother Su Run went to the vegetable garden with Su He to pick, wash and cut vegetables. Then Su He made the stuffing himself, and the two brothers kneaded the dough. Everything was ready and they waited for the dough to rise and make dumplings.

While waiting for the dough to rise, they were not idle. They moved out the table and started copying books, preparing to copy two books for the three siblings and leave one for their cousins ​​Su Pei and Su Che. This time they planned to copy them within a week. Su He found that the straw weaving items were not as good as the first time, so he knew that copying books and selling herbal medicines were the safest. He let his father and uncle weave the straw weaving slowly by themselves, and they would sell as much as they could.

The three siblings copied the book while reading it. When they came across a word they didn't know, they looked it up in the dictionary or asked their father when he woke up. They were a little tired yesterday, so they didn't wake up their parents if they could rest a little longer. They had to carry so many things yesterday and hold Su He in their arms. How could it not be hard?

Su He and his friends had copied several pages of the book. When his parents woke up, they saw that the three children had done everything and were still copying the book seriously. They were very happy. Although the three children were young, they were good at everything and could do a lot of adult work. Looking at the dough that had been raised, the two smiled at the children who turned around and called their parents. After quickly washing up together, they prepared to make meat buns.

Su He's father boiled the water in the pot first, while Su He's mother skillfully kneaded the dough, rolled the skin and wrapped the dumplings. After a while, she wrapped a basket of large dumplings and put them in the steamer on the pot, waiting for the water to steam. She wrapped the rest and prepared to steam the second batch. The family couldn't afford so many steamers and couldn't steam so many at a time.

Seeing the fire starting, Su He's father went to chop wood and fetch water, which was his job every morning. The water was a little far away, and he was afraid that his eldest son would be crushed, so he never let him fetch water. He would wait until he was taller, otherwise he would not grow tall if he carried heavy things. Su He's father was busy, and the three brothers and sisters were also busy copying books. From time to time, they would ask about their father when they saw him come back. On this day, the family was busy doing their own things and working hard for the life of this small family. Smelling the fragrance gradually wafting out from the kitchen, I felt my stomach growling.

Finally, when Su He's mother brought out a basket of buns, the three siblings could no longer write and quickly put away their books and pens. They washed their hands and ate the buns, each holding a big bun in their hands. The gravy overflowed with fragrance after taking a bite. It was better than the buns bought in town. The cabbage stuffing made by Su He had more meat than in town, so the buns tasted better. Su Che ate three big buns in one breath and wanted to eat more, but his mother held him down. He just wanted to eat until he was full. He was going to eat too much!

Su He ate one and stopped eating. She felt that it was enough to be full. There was not enough food in this family, and she didn't want to be fat. She just wanted to be full. But it seemed that you couldn't get fat here. She ate too much food in her previous life. Although it was not a super feast, she often ate all kinds of food. Now, relying on the memories of her previous life, she can often comfort her soul.

Su Feng ate two, shared one with his mother and stopped eating. He was also a restrained child.

He asked his mother: "How many should I send to grandma?"

Su He's mother had already put the buns in a bowl. She took out ten buns and asked Su Feng to deliver them directly to her, just right for breakfast.

Su Feng strode to his uncle's house with the buns in his hand. When they got there, they were having dinner. When they saw Su Feng coming, they invited him to eat with them.

Su Pei asked Su Feng: "Did you get the copying work back?"

Su Feng said, "I got it back, and I paid the money. I bought three pieces of cloth. My aunt and grandma will come over to take a look later."

His grandmother exclaimed in a low voice: "How much does three bolts of cloth cost? Your parents are not prepared to live like this."

Su Feng smiled and said, "Grandma, it's very cheap! The cloth we bought this time is very cheap, you will know when you go and have a look."

He casually handed the bun to grandma: "Grandma, these are the meat buns we steamed this morning. They are delicious. Try them while they are hot."

Su Che shouted happily: "Grandma, give me one, the meat buns can be very fragrant."

Su Feng smiled and said, "Ten buns, everyone can have one."
