Su He had already grown the bean sprouts a few days ago. She had just gone to check and found that the sprouts had grown well and would be in perfect condition by tomorrow morning. She would ask Su Mu and Su Bai to deliver them to the town together tomorrow morning.

She also prepared sweet potato noodles, dried vegetables and some preserved eggs. Today, the family slaughtered the New Year pig, so it was just right to prepare these meats and send them together.

Although it is not a valuable item, it is a token of the Su family’s appreciation.

After listening to Su He's words, Lu Yunqi nodded.

Lu Yunqi also knew that the Su family had a cooperation with Qianweilou in town. Su He had always been smart, so she must have her reasons for doing so.

Lu Yunqi didn't say much. He just did whatever Su He said.

The Su family's yard was quiet at this time. Old Man Su and his friends were resting in the house, and Su He deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke and did things.

Lu Yunqi followed to help clean up the yard.

The Su family slaughtered the New Year pig today, and everyone was tired. There was nothing to do after eating and drinking, so Su He took out the things that would be sent to the town tomorrow.

I also found a basket and oil-proof paper, packed everything up and put them in the backpack.

After thinking about it, he turned back into the house and wrote down the methods of cooking bean sprouts and dried vegetables. He was afraid that they didn't eat these things often, and it would be a pity if they didn't taste like this when they were cooked.

Su He arranged everything and came out, only to see that the yard had been tidy.

I couldn't help but think in my heart: Lu Yunqi looks like a bookish person and doesn't talk much, but I didn't expect that he is so efficient in his work.

At this time, Su Chi had already put on the new clothes that Old Lady Su had made for him and was running around the village.

Su Chi now has many playmates in the village. Some of the children who were unwilling to play with him before now work in the Su family workshop.

Now the adults in Yunli Village have told them that they must play well with Su Chi and not make him unhappy.

Now I can work in the Su family workshop, but Yunli Village and even many surrounding villages offer very good jobs.

If they angered Su Chi, the Su family workshop would not allow them to work. What would they do then?

Children are very good at reading people's expressions, and Su Chi has always been generous. He is willing to share the food and toys in his hands with them.

So even without the adults' instructions, everyone liked to play with Su Chi.

"Achi, your clothes are really beautiful."

A child wearing half-new and half-old clothes pointed at Su Chi's new clothes and said with envy.

After saying this, she pouted and pulled at her clothes which were already a little short.

The New Year is coming, and he also wants to wear new clothes.

"That's right, Ah Chi, I really envy you. Not only do you have delicious food at home, but you also have new clothes to wear."

Every child in the village wears old clothes that were worn out by their parents or older brothers and sisters, and they just modify them to make them their own.

Almost no one wore new clothes.

Su Chi remembered what his sister told him before he left the house: not to show off when he got to the village, and to share the delicious and fun things with his friends.

Su Chi raised his head, waved his hands repeatedly, and said quickly: "Why are you envious? My grandma made this dress for me during the Chinese New Year. I can't bear to wear it normally."

Then he took out a handful of melon seeds and distributed them to the people around him, then said:

"And today I saw that your parents have cut some meat and brought it back. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and you will definitely be able to eat meat."

Everyone received the melon seeds given by Su Chi and thanked him with a smile.

I also heard Su Chi say that their parents had cut some meat today, so the family would be able to eat meat tomorrow.

Suddenly, everyone's face showed joy, as if they were about to eat meat. They had long forgotten that they were jealous of Su Chi's family for being able to eat delicious food and wear new clothes.

The sky gradually darkened, the last faint ray of light dimmed, and Yunli Village became increasingly quiet amid the whistling wind.

Early the next morning.

Su Mu drove the ox cart to the gate of the Su family's courtyard, picked up the things that Su He had packed yesterday and put them on the ox cart.

Su He got up early and packed the pork and bean sprouts and loaded them onto the ox cart.

The bean sprouts were all packed in a backpack and carefully covered tightly with black cotton cloth.

"Brother, these bean sprouts cannot be exposed to the light before they are eaten. When you deliver them, you must let them know."

Su He said again with concern: "If it turns green, it can't be eaten."

Su Mu lowered his head to pack his things and didn't have time to respond.

On the other hand, Su Bai on the side smiled at Su He and said jokingly, "I see. Ah He, you have said it several times, and we have all taken note of it."

The weather is a bit cold now, so Xia Mei is not allowed to go to the town with Su Mu to deliver goods. If they go to the town and come back, they will definitely get cold.

Su Mu and Su Bai were already wearing thick winter clothes, and they were wearing hats that Su He had asked Xie and Luo to make for them.

It was stuffed with cotton and rags so it was very warm. There was even an extra piece sewn on the ears and two strips of cloth connected at the chin.

With this stick in the middle, I no longer feel cold.

Su Mu and Su Bai loved the hat very much and kept praising Su He for his cleverness. They never thought that he could make such a thing.

"If you don't trust your second brother, how can you not trust me, your eldest brother? I promise to do as you say, don't worry."

After Su Mu finished his work, he stood up and said with a smile.

"What? I'm very careful, okay?"

Su Bai curled his lips and muttered in dissatisfaction.

But Su Mu patted him lightly on the head, and he didn't dare to say anything more for a moment.

After hearing what Su Mu said, Su He nodded to the two of them with relief.

"It's cold in this weather, so please come back early after you deliver the goods. We will have dinner early on New Year's Eve."

"Okay, it's cold outside, you go in first, your second brother and I will set off right away."

Su Mu waved to Su He, raised his hand and waved the whip, and the ox cart slowly drove towards the town.

Watching the two people on the ox cart going farther and farther away until they disappeared, Su He turned around and walked into his own yard.

Today is New Year's Eve, which should be the most relaxing year for the Su family in recent years.

At this time last year, the family was still living in a thatched house and didn’t even have meat or vegetables for the New Year.

We must enjoy this year well.

After the Su family had breakfast, they began to clean up the house.

Clean every room, as well as the front and back yards, inside and out.

A couplet was also posted on the door, and suddenly the whole Su family had a hint of the New Year atmosphere.

Everyone looked somewhat cheerful.

"Ah He, there is still a lot of pork left. We can't finish it in a few days. What should we do?"
