Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

"Well, wait till the mud dries up tomorrow and it will be done. The stones are piled up solidly and can be easily torn into by the piglets."

Old Man Su stood up, looked at the newly built pigpen, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

I secretly thought that when life gets better in the future, I will catch two more piglets and bring them back. Then life will be more hopeful.

"Grandpa, this stone is still good enough. Let's build a cowshed here tomorrow."

Su He pointed to the empty space beside him and told Old Man Su what he had thought of yesterday.

"The bullpen?"

Old Man Su turned around and looked at Su He, puzzled. They didn't have any cows at home, so why build this?

And let alone their family, even in the entire Yunli Village, no one had a cow. People from Yunli Village went to the town either on foot or went to the neighboring village and took Old Man Wei's ox cart.

Even the head of the village didn't have any. It's not that Old Man Su hadn't thought about it, but the Su family had a hard time in the past. What's more, cattle were not cheap, and adult cattle were even more precious.

That would cost a lot of money.

"Yes, we have to go to town frequently now, and it's not a good idea to keep renting Old Man Wei's ox cart. I thought I'd wait a few days, until our roof is repaired, and save some money to buy a cow!"

Su He's words shocked even the people standing behind him.

They had never dared to think about buying a cow. Even though they had saved some money from making mushroom jam, the Su family still had many things to spend.

The Su family has a large population, so the rice and flour they eat cost a lot. Moreover, now that Su Zhiyan has returned to the academy to study, the tuition will also be quite a lot in the future.

Also, it’s almost time to repair the roof of the Su family’s house. Otherwise, they might not be able to survive the winter.

"Now this is a good opportunity. Let's repair the roof of our house first, and then we'll take a look at the cow issue. Next time we go to town, I'll check out the price."

Su He thought that when he had time, he would go and check out the market situation. It was still because of lack of money that the problem arose. It seemed that he had to find another way to make money.

Su He sighed in his heart. There were too many things he wanted to do, so he had to do them one by one slowly.

Seeing the expression on Su He's face, several people thought about the changes in the Su family over the past few days.

Some time ago, the Su family was so poor that they couldn't even have a full meal. Now, not only can they have enough food and warm clothes, but they also raise chickens and pigs in the backyard.

Su He is not a person who talks nonsense. Since she said so, she must have her own thoughts.

Old Man Su nodded secretly and said in agreement: "Okay, it's getting dark now. Your father, your uncle and I will work for another half a day tomorrow, and we should be able to fence off the cowshed."

Building a cowshed is not a difficult task. They can easily build it tomorrow.

When the people behind heard what Old Man Su said, they nodded in agreement. They didn't have anything else, but they could still do something with a little physical effort.

After picking mushrooms tomorrow, I will go to the back mountain to pick stones. It will be done in half a day.

Sure enough, the next day, after picking mushrooms, the men of the Su family went out in a hurry to pick stones. With the experience of yesterday, when they built the cattle pen today, they were much faster than yesterday.

In the pigpen on the other side, the piglets have been put in the pen and are being raised after a day of adaptation.

Now the little piglets just raise their heads and hum occasionally, they have become familiar with the environment here.

Old Mrs. Su chopped the pig grass into small pieces, mixed it with bran, and cooked it into pig feed. Now the little piglets are eating it with relish.

Originally, Old Mrs. Su planned to chop up grass for the pigs and feed them this way. Su He told her about this method, saying it would make the pigs grow faster and stronger.

Now seeing the piglets eating so happily, I guess this method is really feasible.

After seeing the piglets willing to eat the pig food, everyone felt relieved.

It's good enough as long as it is willing to eat. If it can eat, it proves that it is easy to feed.

After dinner, Mrs. Xie brought a set of new clothes to Su He's room.

"Ah He, try it on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I can make some alterations for you."

Mrs. Xie held the newly made clothes in her hand, pointed them at Su He and urged her to put them on to see if they fit her.

"Is it ready so quickly?"

Su He was a little surprised. She had finished making clothes for Su Zhiyan two days ago and then started making clothes for other members of the Su family.

How come this was done for her?

Seeing the expression on Su He's face, Xie smiled and said, "You have to go to town often. The people who come and go in Qianweilou are all wealthy people. We can't dress too poorly!"

"Your grandma said that we should get your clothes out first. Whoever has time in the next two days will sew a few stitches on them. You can wear them when you go to town tomorrow."

Xie explained a few words.

The rest of them stayed in the village all day and didn't go to any events. They would make their new clothes when they had time. They would start with Su He's,

Su Mu has Xia Mei to help her, so they don’t have to worry about it.

Su He raised her lips slightly, and followed Xie's instructions to try it out. Their craftsmanship was quite good, and it was just right, and there was no need to change it.

Seeing that Su He's clothes were made just right, Xie smiled and gave her a few instructions, telling her to go to bed early, then turned around and left.

Su He changed out of her new clothes, folded them neatly on the bed, then turned around and studied the recipe she had just written on the table.

Early the next morning.

When Su He got up, he saw Su Mu, also wearing new clothes, in the yard, preparing mushroom jam that he would take to town later.

Seeing Su He staring at his clothes in a trance, her face slightly reddened. She scratched her head in embarrassment and whispered, "This is what Mei Zi made last night. She told me to wear it when I go to town."

Thinking of what Xie said last night, Su He understood everything.

However, Xia Mei's needlework is really good, the stitches are neat and dense, Su He raised the corner of his mouth and praised sincerely: "Sister-in-law's needlework is really good, big brother, you are so lucky!"

When Su Mu heard Su He's words, the smile on his face deepened and he nodded in agreement.

It did take some effort for him to marry Xia Mei, but the result now is excellent.

He was very content, and now the Su family's life was fulfilling every day. There was rice in the rice jar, vegetables in the vegetable garden, and every few days when Su He went to the town and came back, there were many delicious foods to eat.

He feels like he has endless energy to work every day. Yesterday he heard that Su He was planning to buy a cow, which would make it more convenient for them to go to town in the future.

"Grandpa, we should get a tiled roof this time. This straw won't last long."

Su He and Old Man Su discussed that the Su family used to have tiles, which were not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but also durable.

Although it costs more money than thatched roof, it is much more comfortable to live in and you won’t be afraid of the winter.
