Crossing the Unknown Country

The second brother Su Run smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I also make money by copying books, and I also make money by making noodles and tofu!"

They laughed together, and Su Niang said, "As long as we work hard together and make a lot of money, we can buy whatever we need."

Su He said happily: "I need to think about other ways to make money. Our family will work hard to make a lot of money."

Su He lay down in the car, covered herself with a quilt, and said to her mother: "I want to have a sweet dream, don't wake me up!"

Actually, Su He was tired in the kitchen yesterday, and she was too excited to sleep well at night. Now that the car was shaking, she felt a little sleepy. After a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Su He's mother asked her second brother not to talk and let her sister sleep for a while. She was still young and couldn't get tired.

Su Run looked at the scenery along the way. Not far away, he passed a small village. The farmland in the village was on both sides of the official road. The official road was relatively flat, and the ox cart was very stable. Su Run had been to the town the farthest since he was a child. This time, he finally came to the city. Looking back and forth at the large farmland and the villages passing by from time to time, he still felt very excited. He thought that when he grew up, he would definitely go to the capital to have a look. It must be much better there than here.

Su He slept like this and staggered back to the town. The family bought some steamed buns and dumplings in the town and went home. They all wanted to go home quickly. After all, Su Feng was the only one at home, and the sooner the better. As soon as they entered the village, a villager greeted them: "Where have you been? I haven't seen you these two days."

Su He's father replied, "I went to Fengyu County to buy some cotton. Winter is coming soon and I didn't buy enough last time, so I went to buy some more."

Su He's father didn't want the villagers to have other ideas, so he didn't say anything if he could. Anyway, he just wanted to make money quietly. After he built his house, many people were jealous. Su He also told his family that if he had money, he could go out and buy a house, but it was best not to show off his wealth in the village, which was not a good thing.

Su He's father drove the cart back home, and Su Feng ran out to open the door when he heard the sound. He was waiting for them to come back at home, so he helped to pull the cart into the yard, unloaded the cart, and carried the cotton back to the house. Su He felt that it was more comfortable to be back home, and he felt at ease as soon as he entered the yard.

When Su Run saw his elder brother, he began to tell him what he had seen and heard along the way. He also whispered mysteriously to his brother, "Our family has made a fortune this time. Guess how much money we made?"

Su Feng boldly guessed: "Earned a hundred taels?"

Su Run smiled with his big, sparkling eyes: "Guess again."

Su Feng: "Two hundred taels? No, I won't guess. Just tell me directly!"

Su Run held up four fingers: "More than four hundred taels."

Su Feng took a deep breath and said in surprise: "So much, tell me how you make so much."

Su Run told how he sold noodles and recipes, and that they had booked a big restaurant in the city. He also promised to let his brother go next time and he would stay at home to look after the house.

Su Feng was so envious that he nodded happily, thinking that he could go next time. The two chatted happily, saying that they would also work hard to make money, study hard, and go see the big world together in the future.

Su He watched his two brothers happily chatting there while his parents went to collect cotton to make quilts and mattresses. There was ready-made cloth at home, so they just needed to find the cloth and make it.

Seeing that everyone in the family was busy, Su He found a medical book and started reading it. She had to study hard, and she always felt that medical skills were the most important thing to save her life. In this era, people are faced with too many unstable factors, and the most important thing is to take care of their health. Su He felt that her family was too poor, and if she relied on the money she earned now, it would not be enough to withstand a major disaster. She had seen too many disasters in the book, and if she encountered a major epidemic, her ability was still far from enough.

Their family can only guarantee a stable life now, and this war is very dangerous. Although they have escaped, if the enemy really occupies their village, they can't eat, drink, defecate and urinate downstairs. Even if they escape to the mountains, they will get sick because of the environment in the mountains. After all, how can you live a stable life hiding from place to place?
