The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, Su He quickly changed the subject.

"Grandpa, I heard from mom before that our ancestors were from the south. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Tou and Miao Miao became curious.

When Wang Daming heard his granddaughter talking about the past, he chuckled and told the story with some nostalgia.

"That's my father. He lives in Guangyuan County in the south. It was a time of war. Your great-grandfather and other family members fled for their lives. In the end, only your great-grandfather was left alive. The others either died or got lost. Later, your great-grandfather settled down here, married your great-grandmother, and had me. I am the eldest son, and I have a younger brother and two younger sisters. In a few days, your young uncle and his family will come to visit, and you and Mu Tou and Miao Miao will officially meet them. As for your two great aunts, one passed away at the age of 10, and the other gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but only one son survived and lives in Dahe Village."

Sun also sighed when she mentioned this, "Shunzi is also pitiful. Qingmei passed away, and Yongcheng remarried, and later had another child. Shunzi is almost 30 years old now, and still alone. If his family is not in financial difficulty, he should be helped."

In modern times, in a small county town, a man who is not married by the age of 30 will be looked down upon, not to mention ancient times, when the sons of people of the same age would have to consider getting married.

Su He also felt sympathy for this cousin whom she had never met.

Zhou was indeed a quick-witted person. Su He felt that the dishes were already on the table before they had chatted for a few words. There were quite a lot of people eating, so Wang Fugui brought another table from outside and put it on the kang to join the original one. Everyone sat around to eat.

The largest pot in the middle is mutton and radish soup. The soup is very lightly cooked and is best drunk directly. I didn’t even eat the Suhe rice and just drank a big bowl of it.

Mu Tou is already well, and he hasn't done anything for the past two days. He eats and drinks comfortably every day, and looks much better. He is now helping Miao Miao to serve a bowl of soup, and he also has a bowl for himself, imitating He Hua's example.

Tietou was clamoring to drink the soup first, so Wang Bin, who was sitting nearby, poured it for him.

Zhou helped Sun serve the rice first. Today's white rice was cooked especially well, soft, fragrant and sweet. It was a blessing even to eat it dry.

Wang Fugui also helped his father serve soup. The soup alone was not enough. Although Wang Daming was fifty years old, he had very good teeth and ate meat without any hesitation.

This family does not eat like ancient people. They get along with each other in a relaxed manner, without the external respects and hierarchies.

Su He felt that coming to her grandma's house was the right decision.

The nine people were having a lively time as if it were New Year’s Day, and there was not a single drop of food left on the table.

Su He slept quite contentedly that night.

The next morning, Su He was awakened by the knocking sounds outside. She reluctantly raised her head and looked outside. The window paper was just beginning to lighten. Could it be that her uncle was repairing the cowshed?

After staying in bed for a while, Su He looked at Xiao Miaomiao who was sleeping soundly beside him, but did not wake her up. Children just need to sleep more.

She got up, dressed and went out to take a look. It was indeed her uncle and cousin. When she got closer, she saw that her grandfather was there too. It seemed that this mule really meant something to them.

Su He greeted everyone one by one, turned around and went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash up. Sure enough, there was still breakfast warming in the pot.

When she first came here, she learned from Sun that people in Liushu Village only had two meals a day, and they woke up in the morning to work on an empty stomach. If she was also poor, she would have to endure it, after all, she still understood the term "living under someone else's roof".

But now she has money and land, and has a considerable income from time to time, so there is no need for that. She can't put herself in a difficult position. Her body is not well nourished. And Mu Tou and Miao Miao are so skinny that they must be full.

Su He took two white flour steamed buns and some pickled vegetables to eat with them. The pickled vegetables were made by Zhou and were especially delicious. Su He felt that one bite could be paired with a large steamed bun.

After eating and drinking in the warm kitchen, Su He did not leave. She decided to continue to boil ginger and brown sugar water, and give a bowl to grandpa and his family to get rid of the cold. The remaining food was stored in the space.

Mu Tou woke up a little later, and he and Tie Tou walked in happily, "Hello, sister (aunt)."

"Wake up, come and have breakfast, and drink a bowl of brown sugar water after breakfast."

Su He saw the two little guys eating and chatting, so he didn't disturb them and went back to his room to check on Miaomiao.

Su He got up and left in the morning. Miaomiao woke up after a while. She didn't cry. She felt warm and comfortable in the quilt. She played on the kang by herself, free and at ease. No one said she was lazy anymore, and she wouldn't be so cold that she couldn't sleep.

"Xiao Miaomiao, are you awake?"

As soon as Su He entered the room, he saw a meat ball rolling around on the kang. It was Su Miao who was having fun.

"Sister, Miaomiao is up."

When Su Miao saw Su He coming back, she immediately sat up and cooperated with Su He to dress her. Today she was wearing a peach pink cotton suit, which was a perfect color for children, both beautiful and warm.

Su Miao certainly liked it, and she couldn't stop talking or giggling since she saw the dress. Su Miao put on her cotton shoes and hat, and skipped to the kitchen holding Su He's hand.

As soon as Su Miao saw her two brothers were in the kitchen, she immediately squeezed in with the steamed buns given by Su He. The two brothers didn't mind her being small, and the three of them chatted harmoniously.

Su He went to Sun's room with peace of mind.

"Grandma, aunt, good morning."

The enthusiastic voices of the Soho people had not yet entered the house.

"Lotus, why are you up so early? You should get more sleep."

Needless to say, it was Sun who said this. She was the only one in the room who thought girls were delicate. There was a reason why Sun thought so. She herself was an only child, which was rare in ancient times.

"I've slept too much. I'm always working at 6am in the mansion."

Su He responded with a smile, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

The room was not as bright as outside, and Zhou was chatting with Sun.

"Grandma, aunt, have you gotten up and eaten the steamed buns?"

"I ate it. The white flour buns are really delicious. Grandma is so lucky. Haha."

Sun was obviously very happy, but she still had to say a few more words, "We can't eat these white flour buns every day, Lotus, tomorrow we should mix some wild vegetables and cornmeal, it's good enough."

Su He doesn't mind food mixed with whole grains, as long as it doesn't contain bran. As long as it can be accepted by grandma and the others for three meals a day, it's enough to have some meat every day.

"Sure, it tastes good with cornmeal mixed in anyway, and I trust my aunt's cooking skills."

Zhou was very happy to hear this. She felt that after all Hehua had lived in the mansion before, and her words were very pleasant to her ears.

"Grandpa, why are they repairing the cowshed so early? There are still four days left, so there's no need to rush."

"It was your uncle who wanted to repair the cowshed early in the morning. No one could stop him. He even called Binzi along, and your grandfather also came to join in the fun. They were so happy that the mule was coming."

Not just mules, but also horse-drawn carriages.

She can't drive the carriage, so who should pick her up?

"Grandma, there is something I want to ask. I will go to the Zhao Mansion to see the old lady regularly in the future. Can my cousin accompany me at any time? Can my cousin drive the car?"

Sun wanted to blurt it out and tell anyone he wanted to talk to.

But then he thought, he is an old man after all, it would not be appropriate for him to go there for a long time. Fugui is young and strong, but he is the one who makes the decisions on all matters at home, big or small. It would not be appropriate for him to go there for a long time. As for Binzi, he can't drive a car, but he can learn it.

"Let's go with Binzi first, Minmin, what do you think?"

Zhou didn't mind her son being a coachman, but she felt a little headache when she thought of Lin Xiaozhao.

"Mom, I'm afraid something might happen when Xiao Zhao comes back."

In fact, Su He also thought that Wang Bin was married and had his own family, so it was impossible for him to follow her own schedule.

Her uncle's family is OK, they have a cousin and a brother. The cousin is the same age as her, but younger than her by a few months.

But according to my uncle, they won’t be back for another two weeks, so it’s too late.

For some reason, Zhou thought of Shunzi.

"Mom, I don't know if Shunzi is willing or not. It's winter now, he should be free. Yongcheng has long wanted to drive him away..."
