Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Su Danian nodded.

"It just so happened that we were sending Xiaolian back home today, so I went to the fields with my elder brother, and we have already harvested everything."

Now I can finally take a breath, and all I have to do next is wait for the rice to dry.

After hearing what Su Danian said, Old Man Su finally felt relieved.

Seeing that his daughter's family is living well, he and his wife can feel more at ease.

After the two finished dinner, the family dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day.

Su Mu and Xia Mei went to the town to set up stalls early in the morning, while Su Dawu and several members of the Xie family went to the workshop next door to help.

Su He carried a backpack, took a small hoe, closed the door, and was about to go to the bamboo forest in the back mountain to dig some bamboo shoots.

Yesterday Xia Mei said that the bamboo shoots for the stall were almost used up. Su He had to take advantage of the free time now to dig some more and pickle them quickly.

Now that the stall in the town has been completely handed over to Su Mu and Xia Mei, Su He can let go completely, but he will occasionally help them prepare some small condiments.

Su He turned around and happened to meet Lu Yunqi who came to the Su family. She thought he was here to look for Su Zhiyan, so she said to him softly, "My uncle went to the fields with my grandfather."

Su Zhiyan is studying in town now. Whenever he comes back, he always tries his best to help with housework.

Su He knew that Su Zhiyan must feel that he was the person who spent the most money but did the least work in the Su family, so as soon as he came back, he refused to be idle for a moment and did all the work.

Everyone in the Su family knew about it, so they just followed his lead.

Lu Yunqi nodded, not surprised.

He looked at the backpack and the hoe on Su He's back, and asked softly, "Are you going to the fields too?"

Su He did not hide it. Lu Yunqi and Yunrong often went in and out of the Su family, so they had some idea about the Su family's affairs, but they had never asked.

After all, it is the Su family's way of making money. The two people have always been very good to the Su family, and the two families have always helped each other, and they would not tell others about it.

"No, there are no more bamboo shoots at home. I want to go to the bamboo forest in the back mountain to dig some back."

Lu Yunqi nodded, looking clear in understanding.

He often went to the stalls in the town to help out, so he naturally knew what bamboo shoots were used for.

"Then I'll go with you. Together we can dig more."

Su He can't carry much by himself, as the amount used at the stall every day is quite a lot.

Moreover, he was worried about Su He going to the back mountain alone. Since he had nothing to do now, he would go with her to make sure she was safer.

"Wait for me at the door for a while. I'll go in and get a backpack."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his home.

After a while, Lu Yunqi came out carrying a backpack. The two of them walked towards the back mountain while chatting intermittently.

"When will you and your uncle return to the academy?"

The two of them stayed for quite a few days after returning this time, and the autumn harvest had already been completed, but Su He didn't hear them say anything about going back, which made him feel a little confused.

Lu Yunqi was walking in front of Su He, carrying a backpack. When he heard Su He's question, he responded, "We will be going back in two days. The teacher said that we will go to the provincial examination next year, so we need to read more books."

Provincial examination?

Lu Yunqi and Su Zhiyan had both participated in the college examination before, and now they have both become students. However, the provincial examination is held every three years, and next year will be the new autumn examination.

Originally, Su He was worried that Su Zhiyan might not be able to take part in this provincial examination because he had fallen behind in his studies.

"Can my uncle also participate?"

There was a hint of excitement in Su He's voice. If Su Zhiyan could take part in next year's autumn examination, it would not only be an opportunity, but also a rare opportunity that only comes once every three years.

If you are lucky enough to pass the imperial examination, your family’s land will be exempt from taxes in the future.

No, if this is true, we have to put the purchase of land on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Of course. Ah Yan and I attended together. The teacher praised your uncle for his strong comprehension ability. Although he has not been in the academy for many years, he has learned very quickly after returning and his articles are excellent."

Lu Yunqi was also very happy when talking about Su Zhiyan's academic performance, and he did not feel jealous at all.

Hearing her uncle being praised, Su He raised the corners of his mouth and his eyebrows curved.

It sounds like my uncle still has a good chance of passing the imperial examination. If he does, my grandparents will be very happy.

The Su family are all farmers for generations, and all their hopes rest on Su Zhiyan.

Lu Yunqi turned around and saw Su He looking very happy. He couldn't help but say, "Ayan is talented and hardworking. I think he has a great chance of passing the exam. You don't have to worry too much."

When the Su family's situation had just improved a little, they immediately sent Su Zhiyan back to the academy. It seemed that they had high hopes for him.

"Yeah, I believe what you say, Brother Yunqi."

Su He couldn't hide the joy on her face, "But you will definitely be fine, just keep a normal mind when the time comes."

Be normal!

Lu Yunqi was slightly startled. He had been spending more time with Su He these days, and she would occasionally say something shocking, some of which he had never heard before.

But after getting to know each other for a long time, I can roughly guess what it means.

Lu Yunqi smiled softly, and there was an indescribable tenderness in his indifferent eyes.

"Yeah, keep calm, I get it."

The two chatted occasionally and soon arrived at the bamboo forest.

Seeing the tender bamboo shoots popping up one by one, Su He instantly became happy.

He quickly put down the backpack on his back, took out the hoe, and started digging.

When Lu Yunqi saw Su He's appearance, he smiled helplessly.

If it were in the past, he would definitely wonder: What is there to eat in this thing? It is bitter and astringent.

Otherwise, there are so many bamboo shoots growing on the mountain behind, why would the villagers prefer to pick wild vegetables instead of digging these bamboo shoots to eat?

Later, after eating it once at Su's house, I realized how wrong I was. Besides, these are the tender bamboo shoots used in the stalls in the town.

Now, in his opinion, these are all money-making treasures.

The Su family had also sent them some dried bamboo shoots before. Yun Rong cooked them according to the method Su He said. Although the taste was different from fresh bamboo shoots, it had a different flavor.

Since then, Lu Yunqi has fallen in love with bamboo shoots.

Su He spotted a bamboo shoot that was just poking out, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start digging.

"No, just let me do it."

How could Su He, a girl, do this kind of work? By the time the bamboo shoots are dug out, her hands will probably be worn out.

"You can peel the bamboo shoots later."

Lu Yunyun said softly, and walked forward to take the hoe from Su He's hand.

It’s better to peel the shells while you are in the mountain. It will be easier when you go back later and you can also bring more back.

"Row."

Su He was not polite to him. After spending more time together these days, the two of them no longer had the initial restraint and were getting along almost like family members.
