The white radish is growing well. A large part of it is sticking out from the outside. It looks plump and white, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Look, the crops here are growing very well." Zhao Guangping kept smiling.

"She looks so good. I can tell at a glance that you, Uncle Zhao, took good care of her."

“The crops in the field are like children. You have to take good care of them.”

"Uncle Zhao, I'm ahead, are you still going?"

"Go, let's take a look together."

The Su family’s fields were even more shocking. The ten acres of connected land were planted entirely with white radishes, and it seemed as if there was no end in sight at a glance.

"This white radish is growing so well!" The third brother squatted on the ground, pulling out the leaves on the white radish and observing it.

"Yours grow better. We are afraid that someone will steal the radishes, so many people will keep an eye on them on their own initiative."

"Thank you so much uncle."

"What's the big deal? Even if they are strangers, you can't just watch them steal their food." Zhao Guangping didn't care.

Su Mu squatted down to check the size of the white radish. "Now the size of the white radish is good. It can grow for a while and then it can be picked."

"Really!" Zhao Guangping was overjoyed. He didn't expect to reap the rewards so soon.

"Yes, we'll let you know when we collect it."

"Then thank you in advance, uncle."

"It's okay. It's just a piece of cake."

On their way back, they also happened to see the construction of the emperor's house having just started.

The group of people looked very professional.

I also saw a familiar figure among them, who seemed to be an adult from the Ministry of Industry. Why did he come here?

"Miss Su!" The man ran over.

"Sir, why are you here?" Su Mu was curious.

"I heard through the grapevine that the emperor was going to build a small villa here. When I heard that this was next to your house, I volunteered to come here." The man said embarrassedly.

This adult is not too old, and he has seized every opportunity that has come his way to this position.

"Isn't it a good opportunity for me to discuss and study with you guys?"

"Then you can come to us when you are free. Our house is right in front."

The adult looked in that direction and could see the house at a glance, because it was indeed not far away and there were no houses in between.

"It's so close. Okay! I'll come find you guys when the time comes."

"it is good."

Later, this adult first went to Su Mu's house to ask questions, and his eagerness to learn was unmatched. But one day, after having a meal at Su's house, he immediately fell in love with the food.

For the rest of the time, every time the adult came, he would bring something in his hands, either vegetables, or some wine and fruit, and he became a professional freeloader.

The Su family did not disagree. Every time they came to eat, they would bring something, which was polite. Besides, it was just a matter of adding chopsticks and a bowl, which was not a big deal.

During the time when the adult was building the house, he not only did not lose weight, but he actually gained weight, and his face became round.

When the work period was over, the little round-faced man didn't want to leave at all. It was so great here. Not only were there people teaching him knowledge, but there were also delicious meals. Everything was so good.

Of course, all this has not happened yet, and the little round-faced adult now still has a little thin face.

But the villagers were very angry. No one had come to live in their village for decades, so the arrival of this person was big news.

A group of people gathered not far from where the house was being built, and they just watched and chatted with others without disturbing them.

"Have you heard? The man who came here to build a house is an old man."

"You are behind on this news. I know that this old man has a very good relationship with the Su family."

At this time, someone interrupted, "Yes! I have seen that old man, the one who often goes to the Su family."

"Yes, yes, that old man has a tall and straight figure and looks very imposing."

"What do you think the identity of this old man is?" the villagers asked curiously.

"Then he must be of a high status. This piece of land must cost a lot of money, and you can even build a house here." The man said with envy: "This piece of land plus the house must cost no less than this amount."

Others retorted, "It must be more than that. Look at those people who built the house. They are all skilled. The money must be high."

"That's right, he must be an old man of status." This statement was recognized by many people.

"You may not know this, but this old man is a retired general."

The crowd was even more shocked now, "Really?"

"How can I lie to you?" The man pouted.

"Who said that?"

“The workers.”

Some people were stunned, "He's actually a general! He's a general!"

The crowd began to make a lot of noise, "We didn't expect a general to come and stay here."

“Our village is so amazing!”

"Isn't it!" the man looked proud.

"I have never seen a general in my life."

Someone said afterward, "I knew that old man was no ordinary person."

"We still need to thank the Su family. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have a general."

"What you said makes sense!"

This was also instructed by Mr. Ji. Instead of letting people keep guessing about his identity, it is better to tell them his identity directly to save them from guessing. Once given an answer, they will not keep pursuing the matter.

"Little sister, Mr. Ji is so quick to act this time. He just selected the site a few days ago and started construction today."

"Grandpa Ji is going to finish it before it gets really cold."

"It won't be long."

Pushing open the door, Su Dingguo was assembling a new rocking chair in the yard.

"Grandpa, the white radishes in our field are growing very well."

Su Dingguo put down what he was holding: "How is it? When can we harvest it?"

"It will probably be ready in a few days. It can still grow in the ground now."

"That's good."

"Grandpa, do you think we need to hire someone to harvest the white radishes?"

"Please hire a few people. We have ten acres of radish fields. It will take a long time if we rely on ourselves."

"That's what I was thinking. Where should I install this part, Grandpa?" Su Mu was holding a rocking chair part in his hand.

"Install it here." The two of them chatted while assembling the rocking chair.

"By the way, Grandpa, we just came back and saw that Grandpa Ji's house had begun to be built."

"Oh? Starting construction now?" Su Dingguo was a little surprised. It was quite fast.

"Yes."

"Does he have anyone to supervise him?"

"Yes, Grandpa, you don't have to worry. I think the people there are very reliable." Su Mu began to fiddle with another component, trying to figure out where to install it.

"That's good. Brother Ji, no one is watching you, so don't get cheated." Grandpa was very worried.

"Grandpa, don't worry, the supervisor is from the Ministry of Works, and he plans to come to our house in the future."

"People from the Ministry of Works, that's fine. Brother Ji is a general and it makes sense if someone from the Ministry of Works looks after him."

"Yup."
