A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 28 Three Shabby Rooms
Although the dilapidated village is dilapidated, at least it has blue brick walls and houses.
A few hundred steps away from the manor are rows of adobe houses.
Aunt Su has only seen such poor housing in poverty alleviation documentaries.
Look at those children again. Not only are they wearing tattered clothes, but few of them are plump. Most of them have big heads and small bodies, thin arms and legs. Some of them wear a pair of worn-out shoes, while others are just barefoot... Fortunately, the weather is hot now, so they are not afraid of the cold even if they go barefoot.
Aunt Su, an elderly lady, hates this the most.
Then he turned around and gave instructions to his maid.
"Didn't we bring a lot of snacks and candies when we came here? Take them out and give two to each of the children. If there are any left, give some to the adults as well!"
In fact, Aunt Su was mentally prepared when they came.
Knowing that the servants and tenants on the farm must have had a hard time, he asked people to go to the snack shop in the city to purchase some ordinary snacks, such as date cakes at thirty cents a pound and sesame candies at fifty cents a pound.
Give a piece to everyone present, since they are all wealthy.
The farm is far from the city. It takes half a day to get there by carriage. If you just walk, it will take a whole day.
It is far from the town and in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation. As you can imagine, everyone can only barely get enough to eat.
As for dim sum, people would only buy two packs to give as gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year. If you wanted to eat dim sum, you had to give them back and forth. When the dim sum was almost moldy, people would open them and share a piece among themselves.
Nowadays, people can get some snacks whenever there is a festival, and adults and children alike will have sparkling eyes.
If we hadn't been concerned about doing it in front of an important person, I'm afraid we would have started fighting on the spot if we hadn't paid any attention.
Adults are usually reluctant to eat the snacks they are given and have to hide them on their bodies, thinking of taking them back.
Children are different. Older children will try to hide. Some children will just put the cakes and candies into their mouths as soon as they get them, as if they are afraid that others will snatch them away.
"Sweet! Soft!"
“It’s even more delicious than the New Year snacks I have at home!”
"Mother, mother, please keep it for me..."
The crowd was filled with joy because of the snacks and candies.
Of course, there were also careless children who didn't hold the snacks firmly and dropped them on the ground. They were picked up by the children next to them who had been eyeing them covetously and stuffed them into their mouths before they could get them back. Their laughter was mixed with crying, cursing and noise. Of course, they were quickly stopped by their parents.
After the snacks started to be distributed, Aunt Su stood up and walked into the manor.
I didn't see all this excitement.
This is not a big courtyard, with three main rooms, two side rooms, four wing rooms and four back rooms.
The family of Su Zhong in Zhuangtou was the companions brought by Su. When they came here thirty years ago, there were four people in the family, a couple and their two sons.
Because the family were honest and the son was a strong laborer, they were arranged to live on the farm.
Thirty years later, all of Su Zhong's sons had married.
The eldest daughter-in-law was also a girl born in the Fang family. She was dark and ugly, and had a dull personality. She couldn't find a husband in the city. Finally, someone introduced her to Su Dalang, who lived in this farm. She gave birth to three children.
The second daughter-in-law was a girl from a tenant farmer's family on the farm. She was fair-skinned and fell in love with Su Erlang. Finally, she reported to Su's family and married into Su Zhong's family. After marriage, she gave birth to three children.
Today, Su Zhong and his wife are fifty-six or fifty-seven years old. They have many children and grandchildren, and their family is quite large, with a total of twelve people.
Although this manor is small and dilapidated, the Su family has a large family and still abides by the rules.
The three main rooms and the side rooms were all locked and untouched.
Su Zhong, his wife, and three granddaughters lived in the back house, looking after the yard for the master.
As for his son, daughter-in-law and three grandsons, they built four small houses next to the manor, with each family living in two rooms.
When Su Zhong got the news that the old lady was coming to inspect the farm, he took his whole family to clean the main room, the side rooms and the ear rooms, and even got some mugwort to fumigate the house.
Even so, when Aunt Su walked into the main room, she still felt the damp and coldness of the house because no one had lived there for a long time.
Aunt Jiao frowned as she watched.
Su Zhongjia, who was serving beside them, kept interrupting.
It rained continuously about ten years ago and many wooden parts in the house became moldy.
But after moving to the city, the old lady thought that she would not live there anyway, so she did not ask for the change.
Therefore, Su Zhong's family could only scrape and maintain the moldy wooden parts as much as possible.
There was a heavy snow the year before last, which collapsed the roof of the ear room. In the end, it was the father, sons and grandsons of the Su family who replaced the roof beams and bought some new tiles... The old lady did give silver for this bill, but it was a little too little, only five taels, which was barely enough to maintain the ear room and was not even enough to replace all the tiles.
In fact, Su Zhong's family was also worried, fearing that the old lady would be unhappy and blame them.
