Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

"Ah He, are these... all true?"

Old Man Su came back to his senses and pointed at the silver on the table, his voice still trembling slightly.

"Am I dreaming?"

Su He's expression relaxed slightly when he heard this, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He tilted his head and whispered to Old Man Su, "Grandpa, the silver is all here. Can you count it and see if it's all real?"

Old Man Su's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

He looked at Su He, then looked at the silver and money neatly arranged on the table, and reached out his hand and gently brushed them.

At that moment, everyone in the Su family couldn't hold back their excitement. Several women in the room cried for joy and turned their backs to quietly wipe their tears.

In the past, Su He was in poor health and often needed to take medicine, and the Su family owed a lot of foreign debts because of this.

Many people in the village also said behind her back that Su He was a burden to the entire Su family. For the sake of such a sickly girl, the Su family was willing to spend so much money to support her.

But now, all these were earned by Su He. Their Ah He was not a sickly jinx, but a little lucky star.

"Grandpa, grandma, how much foreign debt do we have? Is this money enough to pay it back?"

These foreign debts are not only what Su He has been thinking about, but also a heavy burden on the hearts of everyone in the Su family.

He gets up before dawn every day and goes to work in the fields, just to pay off all the foreign debts as soon as possible.

“Enough, enough…”

Old Mrs. Su wiped her eyes. She had always been the one who kept the family's money, and she was also the one who knew the family's foreign debts best.

"Combined with the money we got a while ago, it's enough to pay off our foreign debts. With a little extra, I think we can even repair our roof."

After paying off all these foreign debts, the Su family can finally breathe a sigh of relief and repair the roof of their house.

The thatched roof of the Su family leaks when it rains heavily, so it’s time to repair it.

Next time we sell mushroom jam, our family will be able to slowly save some money, and our lives will gradually get better.

Everyone in the Su family had a smile on their face.

"Okay... okay, when I have some free time in two days, I will go door to door and pay back all the money I owe you."

If Old Man Su had not wanted to maintain his dignity as an elder in front of the younger generations, he would have almost burst into tears at this moment.

It hasn't been easy for the Su family over the years, but now they feel like they can finally take a breath.

Moreover, those who lent money to the Su family were all relatives of the old Su family, and they have never urged them to pay back the money.

Now that the Su family has saved enough money, they should naturally pay back the money as soon as possible. After all, it is not easy for anyone at this time.

As for Old Man Su and Old Lady Su, they would use the money to pay off the family’s foreign debt first and then repair the roof of their house.

No one in the Su family had any objection to this decision. They had gone through such difficult days together, and nothing could be more relaxing than it is now.

"Grandpa, grandma, we have no objection. Besides, they helped us in the beginning and they haven't come to ask for help for such a long time."

Su He nodded and agreed: "Now that we have saved enough money, we should pay off those debts first."

After saying this, he looked at the people in the Su family around him and continued:

"Qianweilou is very satisfied with our mushroom sauce. We can still pick these mushrooms for a few more months. Our life will get better and better."

Thinking about the time when she first came here, Su He also knew how hard the Su family's life was, but they were truly kind to her, and they were the same to her now.

Su He's words ignited hope in the hearts of everyone in the room, and they looked forward to the future more.

"Alright, alright, no more talking. I'll take all the silver and we'll go pay off the foreign debts in two days."

Old Man Su felt relieved as never before, and said to everyone, "We have to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms early tomorrow morning, so let's go back to the house."

This is the most important thing for the Su family right now.

As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up. After a while, the candles in the Su family's room were blown out, and the room instantly merged into the darkness. A cool breeze whistled past in the distance. This night, it was the first time that everyone in the Su family slept so peacefully.

The next day, when everyone went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, they were more enthusiastic than before. Su He looked at the joy on everyone's faces and couldn't help but feel happy too.

All of this is because there is a glimmer of hope for the future. Even the youngest, Su Chi, is carrying his own small backpack and walking very fast.

The small basket on his back was piled high with what he had picked up.

"Father, the backpack is full. I think we should go down the mountain now. It's still early. After we are done, we can tidy up the land we just reclaimed and plant sweet potatoes right away."

Su Dawu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said to Old Man Su with a smile: "If we plant the seedlings earlier, we can have a harvest sooner."

Seeing that life at home was getting better and better, he now had endless energy. The more work he did, the more income his family could earn.

Old Man Su sat where he was, took a sip of water, relaxed, and looked into everyone's backpacks. They were indeed full, and it was time to go down the mountain.

He nodded and waved to everyone, "Everyone, take a break. We'll go back now."

Everyone just wanted to go back early, make the mushroom jam, and still have time to do other things.

"Let's go down the mountain now!"

As soon as we returned to the Su family, everyone did their own job. The mushroom jam had been made for quite a few days, and everyone knew how to do it.

The mushroom sauce was ready quickly.

Old Man Su took Su Dawu and a few others to work in the fields. Su Chi pestered his eldest brother Su Mu to go fishing in the river, and Su Mu had no choice but to take him out.

Su He planned to make dumplings with the lard residue from yesterday's lard making.

It's still early now, and by the time Su Chi and the others come back, they should be almost done.

"Ah He, let me knead the dough for you."

Mrs. Xie knew that Su He was going to make dumplings, so she took over the job of kneading the dough. This was a difficult job, as she was much stronger than Su He, so she was the most suitable person to do it.

"What kind of filling do you want? I'll prepare it."

Mrs. Luo also rubbed her hands and was eager to try. She was still savoring the locust flower-stuffed dumplings that Su He made last time.

Although I felt a little sorry for the expensive white flour Su He bought, the dumplings tasted really good. The family’s debt would be paid off soon, so I was very happy to have a meal of dumplings to celebrate.

I thought that there was no shepherd's purse at that time, otherwise it would be delicious to make shepherd's purse stuffing with lard residue.

Su He held his chin with one hand and thought for a while.

"How about we make some pork fat and sauerkraut stuffing today!"
