Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Su He pointed at the tender bamboo shoots poking out of the soil while Lu Yunqi was digging in front.

Su He followed behind, unhurriedly peeling off the shells of the dug bamboo shoots and putting them into the backpack.

Looking at the big and tender bamboo shoots dug today, Su He grinned with joy.

Looking at Su He's appearance, her eyes sparkling, just like when she was happy when she received money when she set up a stall in the town, Lu Yunqi also felt happy in his heart.

The two of them worked for more than an hour and finally filled both backpacks.

"Okay, there's no more room, let's go back."

Su He stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking to herself that it was a good thing that Lu Yunqi came with her today, otherwise she would not have been able to dig so much.

These should be enough for a while.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqi adjusted the bamboo shoots in his backpack to make sure they wouldn't fall out.

Then he bent down, picked up the backpack, stood up and let Su He walk in front. He picked up the hoe he had just brought out and followed behind him back to Su's house.

The back mountain seemed not far away, but the two of them walked in twists and turns, carrying such a heavy backpack, and it took them nearly a quarter of an hour to get back to the Su family.

When I pushed open the gate, I saw only Old Lady Su turning over the grain in the yard.

Seeing the two of them, he hurried forward to help.

"Hey, where have you two been? Why are you carrying so many things?"

While trying to reach out to help Su He put down the backpack on her back, Lu Yunqi, who was standing next to her, was worried that Old Lady Su had sprained her waist, so he quickly stepped forward and helped Su He put down the backpack on her back.

Only then did Old Lady Su see clearly the bamboo shoots in the basket.

"You went to dig bamboo shoots. There are so many of them."

Lu Yunqi was also carrying a basket on his back. It seemed that the two of them had been busy for a long time.

"Yes, my brother said that the bamboo shoots used for the stalls in town are almost used up. I had nothing to do just now, so I said I would go dig some up."

After thinking for a while, he continued:

"Brother Yunqi saw that I was alone, so he followed me. It was all thanks to Brother Yunqi, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to carry so much."

Su He found a large basin, filled it with water, and began to wash the bamboo shoots they had just dug.

"I'm here to help."

When Su He heard Lu Yunqi offer to help, he didn't hesitate.

He got up and went into the kitchen, took out a chopping board and a knife, put a mat underneath, looked up and said with a smile: "Then help me cut it, and I can pickle it directly later."

As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo shoots that he had just washed, cut some, and demonstrated it to Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi had helped with a lot of housework since he was a child, so he understood it after reading it once.

He took the knife from Su He's hand and started cutting with "clang clang clang". Su He looked at it, nodded continuously, and exclaimed that it looked quite good.

The two of them, one washing and the other cutting, worked very well together. In less than half a quarter of an hour, everything was washed and cut.

Su He found a few clean jars and took the cut bamboo shoots into the kitchen to prepare for pickling.

After Su He pickled the bamboo shoots she had dug today, she went out of the yard and found that Lu Yunqi was no longer at the Su family.

Su He was thinking of inviting him to her house for dinner tonight as a way of thanking him for his help today.

Forget it, I’ll wait until Su Zhiyan comes back and then ask him to go next door and call him over.

Su He sat in the yard and chatted with Old Lady Su for a while, then Old Man Su and Su Zhiyan came back.

Taking advantage of the break, Su He asked Su Zhiyan again what he heard Lu Yunqi say today.

"Yes, I haven't had the chance to tell you yet. The Master told me to go down and try it as well."

After all, it only happens once every three years. If you don’t participate next year, you will have to wait another three years.

After hearing this, Old Man Su and Old Lady Su were both delighted. It was a great thing to be able to take part in the autumn examination.

Besides, it was the teacher who suggested that Su Zhiyan give it a try, so I think there should be some chance.

"Okay, then don't follow us to the fields. You should study hard."

Old Man Su wished he could push Su Zhiyan back to the house to review his studies right now. He didn't have to do any housework at home, he just needed to read his books carefully.

"Grandpa, you can't stay in the house all the time. You should go out for a walk to combine work and rest. You need a healthy body for the autumn exam."

Su He was actually worried that Old Man Su was too worried and that it would put too much pressure on Su Zhiyan, so she smiled and interrupted him:

"You can relax at home and review your lessons when you return to the academy."

If someone else said this, Old Man Su might have retorted, but when Su He said this, he actually listened to it.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that his attitude just now was too impulsive, and if he put pressure on his younger son, it would be a bad thing.

He immediately laughed and said repeatedly: "Yes, Ah He is right, I am just too concerned and confused."

How could Su Zhiyan not see Su He's thoughts? It was all for his own good, and he knew it in his heart.

However, he would review his lessons well in the academy on weekdays, and when he came back these few days, he wanted to help with more housework. It would not affect his studies in just a few days.

Like everyone else in the Su family, he was looking forward to next year's autumn examination.

Thinking that the matter of the autumn examination was true, Su He asked Old Man Su about the purchase of land he had mentioned a few days ago.

"Now that I have some free time, I'll go talk to the head of the village about this."

Buying land can be used to grow crops and can also be rented out, which is a way to make money. Old Man Su thinks this is feasible.

Moreover, their family is a farming family, and the land is their foundation. Moreover, they now know that Su Zhiyan will take the autumn examination next year.

Although I don't know whether I can pass the imperial examination, it is better to buy the land as soon as possible so that I can farm it in the spring next year.

Old Mrs. Su also agreed. Their family no longer had to worry about food and drink, and they had saved some money. Buying more land could be considered as saving up a fortune for their children.

"What kind do you want to buy? There are top-quality farmlands, medium-quality farmlands, and low-quality farmlands. The prices vary a lot."

Old Man Su is now accustomed to asking Su He about family matters. They all know that all the family fortune is due to Su He.

She thinks quickly and you will definitely not go wrong if you buy what she says.

Su He raised her eyebrows and said casually, "Grandpa, come and buy whatever you like."

Old Man Su has been farming all his life, how could he be worse than Su He? Su He believed that Old Man Su would be able to choose the most suitable one after asking himself.

"but......."

Su He thought about it, and asked doubtfully: "Is there any sandy soil near us? If so, we can buy some. Sandy soil is most suitable for growing sweet potatoes."

Moreover, sandy loam is not only suitable for growing sweet potatoes, but also for growing corn, peanuts and the like.

At that time, you just need to water and fertilize, and the sandy loam can become a treasure land.
