Su He looked at the clay pot in front of him, and couldn't help but look forward to the successful growth of bean sprouts in seven days.

After finishing all this, Su He took the rotten beans he had just picked out to the backyard and scattered them into the chicken coop.

The chicks that were raised before have grown up. When they saw the beans that were scattered, they excitedly gathered around them. In a short while, they had eaten all the beans.

Su He clapped his hands, turned around and went back to the front yard.

There was nothing to do at home in this weather, so Su He sighed, turned around and went to the kitchen, took out a few sweet potatoes, and planned to roast them while warming them by the fire in the house.

It’s so cold today that I have no interest in doing anything. I might as well chat with my family.

It's so comfortable to eat a hot roasted sweet potato in this weather.

The Su family's workshop had already been closed for the past two days. In Su He's words, it was work when it was work and rest when it was rest.

It was such a cold day that they all hid in the house by the fire, so the work in the workshop was naturally difficult.

Su He paid this month's wages in advance and also gave everyone 200 coins as New Year's gift money.

Everyone was given a holiday gift, which included cakes, melon seeds, sweet potato flour from the workshop, a piece of pork, and a piece of cotton cloth, all of which were useful items and food for the New Year.

Several people working in the Su family workshop were extremely excited. They didn't work until the Chinese New Year this month, but Su He still paid them the full month's wages.

So many holiday gifts were given out. Apart from other things, the pork and cotton cloth were very precious. They were just enough to make clothes for the children at home, and they could also eat meat and have a happy and prosperous New Year.

When other people in the village heard the news, they were extremely jealous and became more determined to work in the Su family workshop.

However, Su He did not think so much about it. She was quite satisfied with the people working in the workshop. They were quick and efficient, and would not cheat even if there were no Su family members watching in the workshop.

Naturally, she couldn't be stingy. She wanted them to have a happy new year and work harder in the coming year.

While thinking about it, Su He took the sweet potatoes and went into the house.

When Old Lady Su saw the sweet potato in her hand, she immediately laughed.

"Achi just said he wanted to eat stewed sweet potatoes, and you just happened to bring it over."

It was boring to sit here doing nothing in the winter, and there was no shortage of sweet potatoes at home. Old Mrs. Su was just about to get some when she saw Su He had already brought some.

Su He looked at Su Chi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he sat down and placed the sweet potatoes in a circle around the fire.

There was a cold wind outside, which made the windows creak from time to time.

In the room, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were sitting on the sidelines, lowering their heads and carefully sewing the soles of shoes. Xia Mei was sewing Su Mu's clothes that had a hole in it a few days ago.

The others sat around the fire, talking in low voices.

Su He was roasting the fire, turning the roasted sweet potatoes beside him from time to time.

Su Chi sat next to Su He, staring at the sweet potato in front of him without blinking.

Soon, the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes slowly spread throughout the house.

Su Chi couldn't help but raise his head, sniffed the air hard, and took a deep breath.

"It smells so good, when can I eat it?"

It was so cold that he couldn't go out. Su Chi was already feeling suffocated and could only wait anxiously for the roasted sweet potatoes to be cooked so that he could eat them.

"You, wait a little longer, it will be ready soon."

Su He said as he turned the sweet potato over again.

Turn it over and pinch it with a little force. If it is still hard, it is not cooked yet and will not taste good.

After a while, when the sweet potato fragrance becomes stronger and it becomes soft when squeezed.

Su He took a small wooden stick and pushed the cooked sweet potatoes out. They could be eaten after drying for a while.

Su Chi looked at the sweet potatoes that Su He couldn't reach, with his eyes wide open. He didn't dare to reach out to take them until Su He said something.

Su He looked at him with some amusement, and tested the temperature of the sweet potato with his hand. It didn't feel so hot anymore, so he picked it up and brushed off the dust on the ground.

Use a little force to break the sweet potato in the middle to split it in two, revealing the tempting yellow inside. The burnt aroma instantly hits you, and the aroma becomes even more intense.

Su He handed half of the sweet potato in her hand to Su Chi. Su Chi couldn't wait to take the sweet potato, gently peeled off the skin, and started eating.

The sweet potatoes were still a little hot, and Su Chi grimaced while eating them, which immediately made everyone in the room laugh.

Seeing that everyone was laughing, Su Chi felt a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.

I really can't blame him, it's just that the sweet potato is so delicious. The skin is crispy when baked, and the texture is soft and fragrant and sweet when you bite it.

Eating a baked sweet potato in this weather makes me feel warm all over.

Su He smiled, gently peeled the roasted sweet potato in his hand, and handed it to Old Mrs. Su.

He reached out and picked up another roasted sweet potato on the ground, peeled it and gave it to Old Man Su.

The roasted sweet potato has a soft and sweet texture, and even those with bad teeth can eat it.

Then he distributed the other roasted sweet potatoes to everyone else to try.

At this time, seeing that Su Chi had finished the half that had just been given to him, he was now looking at Su He eagerly, his eyes full of desire: he wanted to eat another one.

Su He smiled softly. Fortunately, there were plenty of sweet potatoes at home, so he would have no shortage of food. She picked up a freshly baked sweet potato and handed it to him.

After thinking for a while, he stood up, took a small basket, put some roasted sweet potatoes in it, handed it to Su Chi, and told him, "Take it to the next door and give it to my uncle and brother Yunqi."

Now that they no longer have to go to the academy, they have returned to the village and often stay together to study, either at the Lu family or at the Su family. They have become accustomed to it.

When two people review together, they can learn from each other and make progress together.

Su Chi nodded, quickly finished the sweet potato in his hand, took the basket from Su He, stood up and walked out of the house.

Su He thought about it and said with some worry: "It's cold outside, come back after you deliver it, understand?"

Su Chi has now made a lot of good friends in the village. They usually get together to play, but now he has to stay in the house all day.

He was afraid that he would be bored to death, but there probably wouldn't be many people outside that day. Su He was afraid that his younger brother would run out to play, so he told him to come back early.

"I'm still roasting some sweet potatoes. They should be ready for you to eat when you get back."

After hearing Su He's next words, Su Chi's mouth immediately grinned and he nodded happily, saying that he would be back after sending her there, while he ran out of the yard.
