In short, I will never let myself be idle.

In the past, when they had free time, they would weave bamboo baskets and other things, and exchange them for other things when they had time.

There is a lot of work to do at home now, so I don’t do these anymore.

Su He suddenly realized what was going on and hurried to the backyard to take a look.

"Ah He, you are back."

When Su Danian saw Su He, he smiled and said to her, "Look, the cowshed you mentioned is now finished. It's very solid."

He also felt that what Su He said was right. Their family would definitely buy a cow in the future. Even if the cowshed was not used for the time being, he was happy to see it and felt that life was getting more and more promising.

"When we have time, your uncle and I will go cut some bamboos, and then we can build a thatched shed for the pig pen and the cow shed. Then we won't have to worry about the wind or the sun."

Su He was very satisfied when he saw the cowshed, which was built with stones and mud just like the pigpen yesterday. It looked very solid and now it only needed a cow.

Looking at the little piglets that had been put into the pigpen and were humming happily, Su He's smile unconsciously deepened.

"What about the others?"

Su He saw that only Su Dawu and Su Danian were in the backyard, and there was no one else in the yard.

"Your grandfather said he went to look at tiles. Judging from the weather, he should be back soon."

"Your mother and the others are either in the vegetable garden or weeding in the fields."

Thinking of the peppers in the field, Su He couldn't help but feel proud, and she couldn't wait to go and see how they were growing.

"Then I'll go take a look too."

After saying that, he turned and went to the front yard, picked up a vegetable basket, said something to Su Mu, and walked out of the yard.

I first took a walk around the field where the peppers were planted and found that a few of them were already slightly red. I should be able to harvest them in a few days, and I can supply a batch to Qianweilou first.

We have just started to sell Kung Pao Chicken, so we probably don’t need a large supply yet. I’ll talk to my family tonight and plant some more then.

Su He pulled out the weeds that were growing quite tall, then went to the vegetable garden, picked some vegetables for dinner, and then hurried back home.

When I returned to the Su family, the yard was bustling with activity.

"Grandpa, you're back!"

Su He walked quickly forward, shouted in surprise, and put the basket in her hand on the table beside her.

Old Man Su drank the whole water in one gulp, handed the bowl of water to Su Dawu who was standing beside him, and said to the Su family, "I have already made an agreement with Old Li's family. They will deliver the tiles to us tomorrow. I have already paid the deposit."

When everyone in the Su family heard this, they all smiled. Old Man Su had originally said that he would go and take a look today, but he didn't expect that he would directly place a deposit. Then when the tiles are delivered tomorrow, they can replace the thatched roofs of the Su family with tiles.

We have to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms in the morning, and work together in the afternoon. We estimate that we can repair all the rooms in the house in a few days.

Tiled houses are good. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, and they don’t leak wind or rain.

In recent years, this thatched house would leak whenever it rained heavily, and the cold winter wind would blow directly into the house.

These winters have been the most difficult times for the Su family.

Thinking of this, Xie and Luo couldn't help feeling a little depressed. After all, only they knew how they had been getting through these days.

Su He looked at the expressions of several people, coughed lightly, and quickly changed the subject and told the story about the chili pepper again.

"What did you say? Qianweilou really buys our chili peppers?"

You know, they didn't eat this thing before because it burned their mouths. It was only later, because Su He became a good cook, that he added some of it when cooking. It tasted surprisingly good, and they got used to it.

Originally, Su He wanted to plant chili peppers in the wasteland, but Old Mrs. Su was worried that there would be too many to eat. After all, chili peppers are just for seasoning and cannot be eaten as a meal.

Now what Su He said, someone wants to buy this thing, and it’s from Qianweilou!

"Grandma, it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Big Brother!"

Su He's eyes were full of smiles. The family would have an extra source of income in the future. Everyone was happy, and she was happy too.

Hearing Su He's words, everyone looked at Su Mu. Su Mu's body stiffened, thinking of the scene when Su He and Zhou Yuzhi talked about this matter at Qianwei Tower today.

His expression turned serious and he nodded affirmatively to everyone.

After getting Su Mu's affirmative answer, everyone in the Su family regretted that they had planted too few peppers. These were not just peppers, they were all treasures.

"Okay, okay, this is really great!"

Old Man Su said yes repeatedly, and was so excited that his voice began to stutter: "Then...then...the ones we planted in the field..."

"Grandpa, I was just about to tell you about this."

Su He paused and said seriously, "It will definitely not be enough to plant only that piece of wasteland. I thought we should plant more."

Many dishes can be added with chili peppers to create different flavors, and you can also make spicy hot pot in winter.

Su He thought about the cold winter, when the whole family would sit together and eat steaming hot pot, that would be perfect.

And there is no need to worry about not being able to store this thing. If you can’t sell it, you can dry it and store it for a long time.

After listening to Su He's words, Old Man Su pondered for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Ah He is right. When we have time, I will go to open up the wasteland with your father and others."

Yunli Village is located in a remote area with vast land and sparse population. Whoever reclaims the surrounding wasteland owns it.

However, wasteland is generally not very fertile, and unless one has no land at home, few people would be willing to spend the effort.

It’s just that the Su family has little land, so if they can reclaim more wasteland to grow crops, they can get more harvests.

Su He once said that the wood ash from burning firewood and chicken manure at home are good materials for making compost. Since then, the wood ash and chicken manure cleaned up at home have been kept for making compost.

Unexpectedly, the results are quite good. Now the peppers and sweet potatoes planted in the wasteland are growing well, not much different from other lands.

"Tomorrow I will go to the vegetable garden to plant the pepper seeds and raise them into seedlings. When the land is cleared, I can transplant the peppers there."

Su He just saw a piece of vacant space in the vegetable garden, which was perfect for growing seedlings.

"Okay, leave the tomorrow mushroom sauce matter to me and your aunt."

Xie was also happy. This was another source of income for the Su family. Their lives were getting better and better, and it was worth it to be busy.

Now she and Luo Shi can make mushroom jam on their own, and they don’t need Su He to watch over them. They can do it together.

The tiles will be delivered tomorrow, and the men in the Su family will be busy repairing the roof, and they will be able to take care of the mushroom jam.

Su He nodded. Now she almost didn't interfere in the matter of mushroom jam. Her mother and aunt had done a great job and the taste was almost the same as hers, so she was relieved.
