Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

For those in this village, you can just ask a few close friends and relatives to come and help.

"Let's go for the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. It's New Year's Eve the next day, so it won't delay anything."

Old Man Su thought for a while before he spoke: "When the time comes, call Zhuzi and Youfu's families, and we'll have a whole pig feast after everything is settled."

Zhuzi works in the Su family workshop and used to have a good relationship with the Su family. Youfu is the son of the village head and is a good person. He also works in the Su family workshop.

Su He nodded. She had no objection to this matter. Old Man Su knew more about these social ways than she did. She would just do whatever Old Man Su said.

The Su family has a lot of manpower, so there is no need to call so many people. Calling these two families is enough, and Lu Yunqi and Yunrong will definitely come to help by then.

Su He thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, there will be a lot of pork by then. I thought, why don't we sell some in the village? The price will be cheaper than in town."

Old Man Su was not surprised to hear Su He's words, and he also understood what Su He meant.

The weather is extremely cold now and no peddlers come to their village. The town is also very far away and it is even more difficult to travel without a bullock cart.

If they didn't sell some pork, many families in the village would not be able to eat meat during the New Year.

Although every household has chickens and ducks, the chickens are kept for laying eggs, and not many people are willing to eat them.

What’s more, they sell cheaper than in town, which is a good deal for the folks.

Old Man Su also thought this was a good idea.

"When the time comes, we will use a bullock cart to go to the town and give some to the Song Mansion and Manager Zhao as well. It will be considered as our token of appreciation."

When the Su family heard Su He's words, they all nodded in agreement.

Qianweilou and Manager Zhao have really helped the Su family a lot. They usually help promote the Su family's sweet potato noodles, so it's time to send some over.

only.......

"Ah He, isn't it too little for us to just send some pork?"

Old man Su frowned slightly. What kind of family is the Song Mansion? And there is Manager Zhao? He sees many dignitaries here on a daily basis, and he has seen many good things coming and going.

They sent some pork, if it was too cold, add some.

But they were just an ordinary peasant family and couldn't afford anything expensive.

Old Man Su felt a little embarrassed. He didn't feel good not to give it as a gift, but he felt it wasn't valuable enough if he gave it as a gift. He was afraid that if someone disliked it, what would he do then?

Su He understood Old Man Su's thoughts. She had thought about all of this. She smiled at everyone and said softly, "We are just an ordinary farmer's family. There is nothing valuable in this house. We are just sending a token of our appreciation."

They can't afford those expensive gifts.

"Besides, they all know the situation at our house, so they will definitely not object. When the time comes, I will grow more bean sprouts and send some to them so that they can have a taste."

It's winter, and there are not many edible vegetables even in the town. They must have never eaten bean sprouts. Sending some to them as a new thing to try can also be considered a new dish for them to celebrate the New Year.

After hearing what Su He said, everyone thought it was okay. The bean sprouts tasted good, so they would let them try some when the time comes.

"Okay then, let's arrange it according to Ah He's method."

If Su He hadn't brought this up, no one in the Su family would have thought of this. He has helped their family a lot.

Not only did he allow the Su family to set up their snack stall in front of Qianweilou, but he also asked them to put all the food in the backyard of Qianweilou at night. This was quite a favor.

These things should be given as gifts to show your appreciation.

Su He nodded, thinking that there might be some other things that were not available in the town, so they could pack some together when the time comes.

After dinner, Su He packed some bean sprouts, wrapped them in a light-blocking cloth and put them in a basket, and told the children to lift the cloth when they were ready to eat.

Su Zhiyan didn't understand, but he nodded in agreement with Su He, picked up the basket of vegetables and went to the Lu family next door.

After everyone in the Su family cleaned up the dishes, they went into the house to sit by the fire and do some needlework. There was really not much work to do in this cold weather.

The north wind was howling, and the day soon arrived on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Old Man Su had already given notice in advance, and Zhuzi, the people from the wealthy family, and even the head of the village all came.

A big pot was set up in the yard, and it was full of boiling water.

The gate to the courtyard was also wide open. The news that the Su family was slaughtering the New Year pig today had already spread, and many people came to watch the fun.

Although the weather was very cold, everyone still loved to watch the fun.

In the crowd, Xia Fugui pulled Xia Xiaobao and squeezed to the front, thinking in his heart that since he was Su Mu's father-in-law after all, he should be able to get a piece of meat later.

He was so happy that he was drooling, when he suddenly noticed the head of the village looking at him with a grim face.

Xia Fugui was so frightened that he shuddered. With the official here, he wouldn't dare to pretend to be Su Mu's father-in-law and lose face to ask for meat.

The Su family has already spread the word that they will slaughter the New Year pig today, not only to celebrate the New Year, but also to give back to the villagers. They will sell some pork at a lower price than in town, and those in need can come to the Su family to buy it.

Some people in Yunli Village were happy, while others were not convinced and kept saying sour words.

"The Su family is so dishonest. They live so well, why are they charging money for pork?"

"That's right. His family doesn't need this piece of pork, but we don't have that much money. He should give each of us a piece of meat."

"Of course not. It's just a piece of meat. They have more than one pig in their pigpen. Why are you so stingy?"

The Su family originally took a piglet home to raise. Later, when the family's situation improved a little, Old Mrs. Su said that it didn't matter whether she raised one or several, as they still had to go out to chop pig food every day.

It would be better to raise a few more, which would not be a big deal, and everyone in the Su family agreed.

Since there are many people in the family who can help, I went to pick up two more and raise them together.

Now in the pigsty in the Su family's backyard, the three pigs are all fat and strong.

Many people had their eyes on the Su family's New Year's pig. They originally wanted to get a free piece of the pie, but they didn't expect that the Su family only invited three families, including the widowed Lu family, but didn't even invite them.

And now the pork is asking for money. There is so much pork, what's wrong with giving them a piece?

They are all from the same village. The pigs look fat and strong this year. They can't finish eating them anyway, so why should they accept money from them?

It's simply too heartless. Their lives are getting better, but they have a workshop and a stall in the town, yet they still charge money for such a small amount of pork.
