Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

He knew the personalities of Li and Xu Yao. If he didn't speak more harshly, he was afraid they might not listen to him behind their backs.

Hearing Old Man Xu's stern rebuke, the three of them couldn't help but be startled, and the little thoughts that had just arisen in their hearts were temporarily suppressed.

The three of them nodded in unison towards Old Man Xu.

Old Mrs. Xu curled her lips. Although Old Man Xu usually didn't take care of things, he was still a little scary when he got angry. She couldn't help but feel a little scared and nodded.

It’s better not to offend him now. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with that little bitch Xu Lian in the future.

At this time, Old Mrs. Xu could still smell the faint aroma of meat coming from next door, and her resentment towards Xu Lian deepened.

This meat was obviously brought back by Xu Lian today. I went to the yard next door today and met Xu Lian, but she didn't even give me some. I was really angry.

The people living next door are all heartless and ungrateful.

At this time, Xu Qingshan's family next door was enjoying eating meat.

Even if I eat meat on weekdays, I wouldn't be willing to cut so much. At most I would cut some fat, make oil from it, and eat some lard residue.

This is what Xu Lian made tonight. It’s a big pot full of pork with sizzling oil on it.

Xu Lian said that the dried vegetables fried with pork were picked by the Su family in the spring and dried them for food. They were so fragrant.

There was also a large bowl of stewed bone soup, with a lot of meat and bone marrow still attached to the bones. It was very comfortable to sip it.

This meal tonight is better than what they had during the Chinese New Year.

It's really all thanks to the Su family.

Su Xiaoyun was halfway through her meal when she started asking about Xu Lian's recent events.

When Xu Lian thought of the Su family's workshop and the matter of following Su He and the others to set up a stall in the town, she immediately became excited. She put down her chopsticks and started talking excitedly to the family.

"Ah He is so powerful!"

Su Xiaoyun was also happy after hearing this. She was naturally happy that the Su family was doing well, not to mention that they had helped them so much.

Originally, he was busy with the Xu family's affairs, and then the division of the family. He was also busy building walls and houses, and these few days were the autumn harvest. He was so busy that he was dizzy.

Su Xiaoyun didn't know much about the Su family. She just heard a few words from her two brothers who came to Xujia Village every few days. She only knew that the Su family had opened a workshop.

I didn't expect that there was a stall in the town. Su He actually had a cooperation with Qianweilou. The duck eggs were pickled by Su He and made into preserved eggs, which were sold to Qianweilou.

Su He is really amazing.

In Su Xiaoyun's impression, Su He is still the little girl who was not in good health and always stayed in the house.

I didn't expect today to be so outstanding.

Thinking about how the Su family did not hide their business from Xu Lian and even took her to the town to set up a stall.

Su Xiaoyun also noticed the changes in her daughter. She was no longer the submissive girl she used to be.

I have become much more alert now and I will probably not be bullied by my neighbors so easily in the future.

"Xiao Lian, these are the ways your grandparents make a living. Don't say a word outside. Do you hear me?"

Su Xiaoyun said worriedly, "They have helped our family so much, we can't ruin their business."

Without the help of the Su family, they would not be able to build the kitchen and the house where Xu Lian lives in the back.

And we can’t live so comfortably these days. I’m afraid we can’t even have a full meal.

Xu Lian raised her chin and assured him, "Of course, I can't be that stupid. My cousin is very nice to me and even took me to Qianweilou for snacks."

Su Xiaoyun turned around and looked at Xu Qingshan and Xu Yuan, and said to them, "You two are not allowed to tell anyone, do you hear me?"

I’m afraid the people next door won’t give up so easily. They might find a chance to inquire about the Su family’s affairs. They can’t be soft-hearted.

What Su Xiaoyun was most worried about was Xu Qingshan. After all, they were her biological parents. She was afraid that he would be soft-hearted for a moment and ruin the Su family's livelihood. Then she would not be able to face going back.

How could Xu Qingshan not know what Su Xiaoyun was thinking? Seeing the unpredictable expression on her face, he knew what she was thinking.

He said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone, not even in my sleep!"

Su Xiaoyun couldn't help but glare at him when he heard this.

"I know what is most important. My parents and my elder brother have helped us so much. How could I be such a heartless person?"

"Don't worry if Mom and Dad ask, I know what to say."

Xu Qingshan comforted Su Xiaoyun softly.

When their family was in the most difficult times, it was the Su family who helped them both financially and physically. Now, the job of collecting duck eggs has been given to him, and he knows what to do.

He also knew what kind of people the Xu family was like. It was only a matter of time before his parents asked about it. However, he knew what was more important than what was less important, so he would keep the matter a secret.

"I know too, mother. I'm very tight-lipped. My grandparents sent some meat to our family today. I don't know anything else."

Xu Yuan's mouth was full of oil and he raised his hand to assure Su Xiaoyun.

"Okay, Xiaoyuan is the best!"

Xu Lian thought about what Su He had said to her, looked at her parents sitting opposite her, and then looked towards the big room on the other side of the house.

He leaned forward, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Mom and Dad, there is something I want to tell you. My cousin specifically told me yesterday."

When she heard Xu Lian say that Su He had specifically asked her to tell her when she came back, she thought it must be something important, so she lowered her head and listened carefully.

"My cousin said that next year we can plant corn and sweet potatoes together in our fields like my grandparents do. When the sweet potatoes are harvested, we can just bring them directly to my grandparents' house."

After that, he recounted the story of the Su family's autumn harvest of sweet potatoes a few days ago.

"Really...are there really that many?"

Su Xiaoyun and Xu Qingshan were slightly shocked. It’s not that they didn’t believe what Xu Lian said, but the output was indeed astonishing.

Moreover, they had never heard of this method of planting sweet potatoes and corn together before.

But this is what Su He asked Xu Lian to tell them when she came back, so it should be correct.

"Of course I did. I went down to the fields with them to collect the fruits."

Xu Lian gestured as she spoke.

"The yard is piled high with them, much more than what we have grown in the past."

The land they got after the family split up was not much to begin with, and if the weather was bad the harvest would be even more uncertain.

Moreover, since the Su family runs a workshop, they don’t have to worry about not being able to sell the sweet potatoes they grow.

Xu Qingshan and Su Xiaoyun looked at each other silently, and both saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.
