Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Su He couldn't help but tease him.

"How could that be..."

Su Chi pouted, looking hurt, but he was a very obedient man.

"Okay, I was just kidding. What's going on? Why do I see you like this when I come back?"

Hearing Su He's question, Su Chi hesitated again. He lowered his head and said nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Su He was not in a hurry. While cooking, she let Su Chi think slowly without rushing him.

"Sister..."

Su Chi couldn't help but speak up in the end, "I just went to the river with my brother to catch fish, and I met Sister Meizi."

When Su He heard this name for the first time, she stopped cutting vegetables and turned around to look at Su Chi.

"Sister Meizi?"

Who is this?

Su He thought about it carefully in his mind, but still had no impression of the name.

These days she either goes into the mountains or goes to town and has almost no contact with the people in the village, so it is normal that she doesn't know them.

But looking at Su Chi's appearance, he seemed to be very familiar with this girl named Mei Zi.

"Sister, you forgot that when you were not feeling well and had been lying in the room, Sister Meizi often came to talk to you."

From what Su Chi said, Mei Zi should have come to the Su family often in the past, but why hasn't she been seen in these days since Su He came?

"Today, I was standing by and heard Sister Mei Zi crying and talking to Big Brother about her mother... her brother... getting married... and so on. She was crying so sadly."

After Su Chi finished speaking, he lowered his head, looking a little unhappy. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, he was very sad to see Sister Mei Zi so sad, and his elder brother had not spoken since he came back from the river.

He knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

"Brother has been silent since he came back. He hasn't said a word."

After hearing what Su Chi said, Su He also imagined a big drama in his mind.

Could it be that this Mei Zi is the eldest brother’s sweetheart?

However, Su Chi was small, so he only heard a few words intermittently. When Su He asked him more, he could not say anything else.

"Okay, I know. I'll talk to my brother later. Don't worry."

Su He said something comforting, and Su Chi was instantly happy when he heard it.

Now in his mind, Su He is the most powerful person. She knows all the delicious food and can earn money for the family.

My elder sister said that she would go talk to my elder brother later, and he felt relieved to hear that.

When Old Man Su and his companions returned from the fields, Su He's dinner was ready.

I made a fish soup, a plate of fried sweet potato leaves, scrambled eggs with wild mint, and a dish of cold purslane.

Everyone at the dinner table was talking about what happened today. Su He subconsciously glanced at Su Mu and found that he was eating quietly, with his head down and digging into the rice in the bowl.

Su Mu has always been a man of few words, and his family didn't notice anything different when he didn't say anything.

After dinner, Su He went to Su's mother's room and quietly asked about Mei Zi.

After hearing this, Su's mother sighed heavily, "Mei Zi has a miserable life. She lost her mother when she was only two years old. Her current brother was born after her stepmother came into the family."

Su He frowned slightly.

"With a stepmother, there is also a stepfather. Meizi has to do all the housework inside and outside the house at a young age. If the stepmother is in a bad mood, she won't even have a meal."

Su's mother talked on and on for a long time, and Su He understood what she said.

It turns out that Mei Zi's name is Xia Mei. Although her family is poor, they are not to the point where they can't have food to eat. It's just that her current mother is a stepmother. She used to treat Xia Mei as a maid, and beating and scolding her was commonplace.

When the Su family's situation was better in the past, when they saw Xia Mei coming to visit, they would feel sorry for her and secretly feed her some food.

But later her stepmother kept her at home, and she rarely went out.

Although there are many people in the village who are not happy about it, it is, after all, someone else's family affair.

Xia Mei's biological father was a soft-hearted man, and his stepmother gave him a son, so he gradually stopped caring about the girl, Xia Mei.

As long as nothing serious happens, even family members will not interfere.

Su He sorted out all the things and felt that this guy was also a poor man.

But Su Mu didn't say anything now. She wasn't sure what her elder brother was thinking, so she didn't want to ask too much about it.

If Su Mu really had any thoughts, he would naturally tell his family.

Su He returned to her room and decided to wait and see about this matter.

There are a lot of things to do at home these days. We have to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms and plant the sweet potatoes in the fields in a hurry. I don't know how the first batch of mushroom jam sent to Qianweilou is selling. This is related to whether we can still sell mushroom jam in the future. Su Heke is still a little worried.

As I thought about it, my head became heavier and heavier, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, the Su family carried their bamboo baskets and went into the mountains.

Everyone wished they had more hands so they could pick more mushrooms. The silver that Su He brought back last time had a significant impact on everyone in the Su family. Everyone wanted to pick up more so they could pay off their foreign debts sooner.

In the end, the backpack could no longer hold the things, so he went down the mountain only after Su He's urging.

"Let's wash the mushrooms together, we need to go to the fields later."

Old Man Su was still thinking about planting sweet potatoes in the field, but these mushrooms were more urgent. Su He and his friends had to go to town to deliver goods tomorrow, so the mushroom sauce had to be made quickly today.

When everyone in the Su family heard this, they all nodded, turned around, and each found a basin of water to start washing the mushrooms.

It took me almost an hour to clean the mushrooms I picked in the morning.

Leaving Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo at home to help boil the mushrooms, Old Man Su took the others to the fields to plant sweet potatoes.

They also understood the method Su He taught yesterday. Since Su He said this method is feasible, they will try it according to her teachings.

While the Su family was busy in the fields, they met many people from Yunli Village passing by. When they saw the Su family's methods, they all shook their heads.

"Is this old man Su crazy? Can he grow sweet potatoes like this?"

"That's right. Don't let the harvest go by and the rice mature before it's too late."

"Alas... this is just a waste of corn fields."

Yunli Village is remote and poor, and no family is wealthy. The work on the fields is of utmost importance. Whether there is a harvest in a year and whether one can have enough to eat depends on the harvest from the fields.

Everyone in this family has been farming for a lifetime, and no one has ever seen sweet potatoes grown in this way. If the sweet potatoes are delayed in being planted, the whole family will go hungry.
