"Let's go, let's go faster, it might be too late and unsafe."

After Su Xiaoyun gave instructions to a few people, he urged them to speed up. There were few people on the road now, and it would be even more difficult to walk after dark.

Everyone in the Su family had been busy all day and was exhausted.

"Okay, let's go to bed early tonight, because we have to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms early tomorrow morning!"

After Old Mrs. Su sent Su Xiaoyun and her family away, she asked everyone in the Su family to go back to their rooms and rest.

After a busy day today, this happy event was finally completed successfully. We need to rest early so as not to be late for going into the mountains tomorrow.

This delay of one day costs a lot of money.

Su He pinched his arm which had already become sore, nodded, and went back to the house.

After being busy in the kitchen all day, my hands can hardly be lifted. If I don’t have a good rest, I’m afraid I won’t be able to enter the mountain tomorrow.

After washing up, I lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, as the night slowly dissipated and the faint light of early morning dyed the sky, wisps of smoke began to rise from the roof of the Su family's house in the quiet little village.

After the crowing of a rooster, Su He slowly opened his eyes.

He blinked, his mind still a little confused.

I lay quietly in bed for a while before coming to my senses.

It turned out that yesterday was the wedding day of the eldest brother and Xia Mei, and early this morning, their family started to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.

By the way, we need to pick mushrooms.

Su He instantly sobered up a lot. He stood up, stretched slowly, put on his clothes, and then opened the door to go out.

The Su family members in the yard have all stood up. Su Dawu and others are checking the backpacks that will be used when going into the mountains later. Su Chi is exercising according to the movements that Su He taught him before.

There were bursts of talking and cooking sounds coming from the kitchen.

Just as I was lost in thought, I saw my aunt Luo come out with the prepared breakfast. She smiled and said to everyone in the yard, "Okay, come and have breakfast first."

Everyone nodded, put down their work, washed in the yard, and then went into the main room.

"Wait a minute, Amu and Meizi, you two stay at home today and don't go into the mountains with us."

Old man Su said while eating breakfast.

After all, they just got married yesterday, so they should have a good rest at home today. It would not be good for the couple to go out to work the day after their wedding.

When Su Mu heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly, put down his bowl and chopsticks and said loudly: "No need, Grandpa, I will go into the mountains with you, what are you doing at home?"

Su Mu was naive and didn't think so much. At the wedding yesterday, the most tired people were actually the other people in the Su family. He didn't do anything.

He doesn't need to rest, and he is strong. If he goes into the mountains with others, he can save a lot of energy for others.

With one more person, we can pick a lot of mushrooms.

Xia Mei also wanted to go into the mountains together, as one more person could do a lot of work.

Everyone in the Su family was speechless and could not win against the two of them.

In the end, it was Old Lady Su who made the final decision and let Su Mu go into the mountains with everyone, while Xia Mei stayed at home with her.

Xia Mei wanted to say a few more words, but finally even Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo began to comfort her and told her to stay at home today. If anyone told others about a new bride going to work in the fields on the first day of her marriage, they would be laughed at.

This made Xia Mei shut up. After breakfast, she prepared water and boiled sweet potatoes for everyone going into the mountain, and asked them to take them with them and eat them to fill their stomachs when they were hungry.

The group set out into the mountains, carrying their backpacks.

Just before breakfast, Old Mrs. Su had already fed the chickens and rabbits in the backyard, so there was nothing to do at this time.

Old Mrs. Su took Xia Mei back to her room, planning to take out the cloth that Su He had bought and start making clothes for the Su family.

Su He bought a lot of materials and said that she would make a new suit for everyone in the Su family. That would take a lot of time.

The two of them chatted about family matters while doing needlework.

By the time the Su family returned at noon, the two had almost finished one thing.

Xia Mei reheated the lunch left for everyone, and when everyone started to eat, she fetched water from the well and began to wash the mushrooms.

Xia Mei had done this with the Su family a few days ago, so she knew how to do it and no one else had to worry about it.

After the others had finished their meals, they also joined the team washing mushrooms.

The Su family's yard became lively again for a while.

After cleaning all the mushrooms picked today, Old Man Su led Su Dawu and Su Danian to go to the fields with hoes.

Originally, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo wanted to make mushroom jam, but Su He pushed them into the room to make clothes.

Su He didn't know how to sew, so she could only take on the job of making mushroom sauce herself.

Moreover, she planned to send Su Zhiyan back to the academy when she went to town the day after tomorrow.

This matter cannot be delayed. If we delay for one day, we will fall behind others by one day. Since I have planned to return to the academy, the sooner the better.

Therefore, they had to rush to make Su Zhiyan's clothes as soon as possible.

Su He asked Su Mu to help cut the mushrooms, and Su Chi helped her light the fire, and the three of them worked very quickly and soon finished making today's mushroom sauce.

Su He went to Su Zhiyan's room, borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, intending to take advantage of the free time to paint a few patterns.

Yesterday, Old Lady Su told her that she wanted to buy some cloth to make clothes for Xu Yuan and Xu Lian, and bring it back to them when they come next time.

Su He thought that since she was going to the cloth shop, she might as well bring some patterns with her. When she thought of Tan Si Niang's anxious look last time, she was afraid that she would have a hard time explaining if she didn't bring some manuscript paper this time.

She is busy on weekdays, so she decided to draw a few pictures while she has some free time.

Su Zhiyan was reviewing his lessons in the room. He had been away from the academy for too long. When he thought about going back to the academy soon, he felt a little nervous, fearing that he had fallen behind others.

Although Lu Yunqi took him to learn new subjects every time he came back, it was different from being in the academy after all.

Originally, Su Zhiyan also wanted to go to the fields to work with Old Man Su and the others. He was about to return to the academy, so naturally he had to do more work.

But Old Man Su and his companions would not allow him to go to the fields. It was fine for him to just be busy picking mushrooms in the mountains in the morning. After all, this was the Su family's current way of making money.

Su Zhiyan is not needed to work in the fields, so let him stay at home to study.

I have missed so much homework. I have to spend more time reviewing it so that I won't fall too far behind.

Su Zhiyan was no match for the others, so he went back to his room in embarrassment.

The Xie family members were very quick and efficient. They came back from picking mushrooms the next day and worked for half a day, finally finishing making two sets of clothes for Su Zhiyan.

"Let Amu go to town with you tomorrow. When the third brother goes to the academy, Amu, you have to watch and learn more. From now on, you will follow Ahe to town."

After thinking it over, Old Man Su spoke and decided to let the three of them go to the town together tomorrow. Su Zhiyan went to the academy, and they were worried about Su He coming back from the town alone, so someone had to go with him.
