Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming
Chapter 24 Going to town
As soon as the words fell, the Su family fell into silence.
Everyone has thought about making money, but they had never thought about taking the snacks they made to the town to sell them as Su He said.
The Su family are all honest farmers, and their minds are not that active.
But what Su He said was indeed heart-warming.
"Besides, I made these myself. If I can't sell them, I can just keep them at home as a snack when I have free time."
It's the loss of brown sugar.
These wild fruits are picked from the mountains, so it’s okay if they can’t be sold.
Old Man Su looked at his granddaughter who had a determined face in front of him, lowered his head and thought for a while. What Su He said made sense. How could he change the current situation if he didn't do anything?
How bad could the Su family's situation get?
And it doesn’t matter if these dried fruits cannot be sold. They can be used as snacks for the children at home.
"I think it's okay. Ah He, you can do it, but..."
Who should go to town?
The Su family are all honest farmers. Xie and Luo haven't been to the town for many years.
The eldest and second sons had been to the town, but Old Man Su still had a good idea of what his two sons were like.
We can let them do the work, but I'm afraid they can't go to town to sell things.
Old Man Su was in a dilemma at this time. He definitely couldn't let Su He, a girl alone, go to town, but who should he let go with her?
"Dad, let me go to town with Ah He."
Seeing that Old Man Su was in a dilemma, Su Zhiyan said calmly, "I am familiar with the town, so it's no problem for me to accompany Ah He."
Su Zhiyan had studied in the academy in the town for several years before. In the entire Su family, there was no one more suitable than him to accompany Su He to the town.
After listening to Su Zhiyan's words, Old Man Su nodded and felt delighted. Why didn't he think of it?
Although his youngest son has returned to the village now, he has stayed in the town before. He feels more at ease letting his youngest son take care of Su He.
Now that the person who will go to town has been finalized, the next step is to see when Su He plans to go.
"So when are you going to town? There are no bullock carts in our village. We have to go to the next village to get one."
Yunli Village is remote and poor. There is no one in the village to raise pigs, let alone ox carts.
In this era, even food is scarce and we can’t afford to raise pigs.
"I'm thinking of going tomorrow. Tomorrow is market day, so there should be more people."
Su He had already asked Su Grandma in advance. There is a market day every three days, and tomorrow is the market day in Sifang Town, so it would be a good time to go tomorrow.
You can also take a look at whether there are any jobs in town that can make money.
"It's okay, we can just walk there. It's only half a basket of stuff, I can carry it."
Su He knew the current situation of the Su family. Although the town was far away and it would probably take a long time to walk there, at worst she could just get up early tomorrow and set off earlier.
"How can that be possible? The town is far away and you are weak. Tomorrow you and A Yan can go to the next village and take a bullock cart to the town."
Old Man Su never thought of treating the Su family harshly. Although the family is poor now, it is still okay to let his granddaughter ride in an ox cart.
"Old woman, give Ah He a few coins."
It costs one penny per person to take a ox cart to the town, and you have to give at least enough money for two people to go back and forth.
Even if these dried fruits cannot be sold, just consider it as a chance for Ah He to relax.
The other members of the Su family had no objection to Old Man Su letting Su He take a ox cart to the town. They all agreed that Su He was weak and would not be able to walk to the town.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su nodded, turned around and went back into the house. After a while, she came out, took out a few coins and put them in Su He's hand, and told her to keep them safe. If she was hungry when she got to the town, she could buy a steamed bun.
After Old Man Su gave Su Zhiyan some detailed instructions, the Su family members went back to their rooms to rest.
Su He had already thought carefully about going to the town to sell fruit leather, so he didn't think too much about it. Thinking that he had to get up early tomorrow, he went to bed early.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The whole Yunli Village was shrouded in soft moonlight, and it seemed even quieter.
“Ohhhh….”
Thinking about going to town today, Su He slowly woke up when the first rooster crowed in the morning.
She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and calmed her still dizzy head. After a while, she heard the sound of someone getting up to wash in the yard.
"Sister-in-law, why are you up?"
"Isn't it that Ah He is going to town today? I thought I'd get up and cook some sweet potatoes for her to eat on the way."
The rustling sound gradually woke Su He up. He quickly got up, dressed, walked out of the room and went to the kitchen first.
"Mom, aunt, go back and sleep for a while, it's still early."
The Su family's work in the fields has not been finished yet, so they still have to go to the fields to work today. It's too early for them to get up.
Su He said softly: "I'll be fine here, and I'll go out with my uncle after the food is cooked."
Seeing Su He's well-reasoned voice, both of them shook their heads, "You should go wash up first. I'm already up, and I'm not sleepy anymore."
Seeing that the two were very persistent, Su He said nothing more and turned to wash his face in the yard.
Then he packed the things he needed to take today into the backpack and covered it with clean gauze.
After finishing all these, the Su family members got up one after another.
Xie packed two cooked sweet potatoes and filled a pot of water and put them in the backpack.
He then sent Su He and Su Zhiyan to the gate of the courtyard, and watched them walk away before turning back to the main room.
Su Zhiyan was carrying a backpack and walking side by side with Su He.
It was just getting light at this time, and I didn't meet anyone on my way out of the village.
"Uncle, how long will it take us to get to the next village?"
They walked for a long time. The distance was longer than Su He had originally thought. It had been a long time since he had walked for such a long distance. Su He was already a little out of breath.
He stopped, took out the water that Xie had prepared for them from the backpack, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
Su Zhiyan might have been accustomed to walking this distance, and even with the backpack on his back he did not gasp for breath like Su He.
"We're almost there. We'll be there after we pass the intersection ahead. There should be ox carts from the next village at the intersection. Do you want to take a rest first?"
Su He was weak, and it was already very good for her to be able to walk such a long distance. Su Zhiyan was afraid that she was tired, so he asked her.
Su He waved his hands when he heard it, "I'm fine, let's keep going."
Today I am going to sell these dried fruits, so I must get to town early. If I go too late, the market may be closed.
Thinking about this, Su He suddenly regained his strength and encouraged himself with high morale.
Sure enough, when the two of them passed the intersection ahead, they saw an ox cart parked under a big tree not far away. From a distance, they could see that there were already several people sitting on the cart.
