Su Qiuyi didn't say anything high-sounding, she just said that she needed Chu Mingxiao's help.

Whether it is money, swordsmanship, archery, or protecting his family, he needs Chu Mingxiao. Chu Mingxiao just lives at home and pays for his food, so he will not have any impact on the family.

When Su Laosan heard his daughter say that she needed Chu Mingxiao's help, he suddenly realized how wrong he was.

He actually relied entirely on his daughter for money and didn't care about money at all.

Not to mention how much money it costs to build a house, just looking at the ten acres of residential land and the more than 500 acres of wasteland in the back mountain, you can tell that it cost a lot of money.

If his daughter hadn't said that she needed Chu Huai's help with money, he would not have realized that all the expenses of the family were supported by his daughter alone.

I'm used to relying on my daughter.

After condemning himself for a while, Su Laosan handed the matter over to his daughter.

The only thing I ask for is that my daughter keep herself clean.

As a father, it is still a little inconvenient for him to educate his daughter, but he has to teach her no matter how inconvenient it is.

With a new man in the house, he had to remind his daughter.

After passing his father's test, Chu Mingxiao successfully moved into the Su family.

Starting from the next day, he followed Su Laosan to Suhoushan Village to help under the name of Chu Huai.

Su Qiuyi didn't know how to investigate his affairs. She only found out that Chu Mingxiao was really like her cousin. He learned carpentry from his father, worked with bricklayers, and ate with everyone.

At night, he came back with Su Laosan.

After Su Qiuyi stayed at home in Qinghe Town, her two sisters no longer followed her to the village.

Although the carriage had a shed, it was still cold as it was winter. Xu Hui was never found again. Su Qiuyi guessed that she must have been caught by human traffickers and sold long ago.

Chu Mingxiao followed Su Laosan back and forth for two days in a row, and Su Qiuyi didn't care about him. Chu Mingxiao didn't have his own things to do, but she did.

I talked to Bai Xiaojing last night and they decided on a name for the store. Bai Xiaojing has also started to stock the goods for her. She has to hurry and find a store to start preparing for the opening.

After looking at shops for a whole day, I finally decided on a shop on the main street. It was only a 100-square-meter shop. I kept talking and bought it for 1,000 taels and got the title deed.

But the shop was empty and I didn’t know what business it had been doing before. All the things inside had been moved out.

Su Qiuyi changed the lock of the shop and returned home. Now is not a good time to open a shop.

No matter what, she had to use the money in her hand first.

After returning home, she started chopping stuffing and making dumplings and cooking. Her actions shocked her two younger sisters.

"Sister, is today a big day? Why do you make so many delicious foods? I don't even know which one to eat..." Su Wenxing stood in the kitchen, almost suffocating.

Su Qiuyi was still frying meat beside the pan. She wanted to make some braised meat, but there were no semi-finished products, so she had to fry the meat herself.

Hearing what the little sister said, she looked at him lovingly, her hands moving non-stop, and she said, "I need help from my cousin tonight!"

Of course Su Wenxing knew who the cousin mentioned here was. She didn't ask her sister what she needed Chu Huai's help with, and just helped to light the fire.

Su Mingyue was in the house, finishing the last bit of work. The other three people had all put on their winter clothes, leaving only her own, which was almost finished. Today, while her sister was cooking, she hid in the house to sew clothes.

The food was served quickly.

These were all the foods Su Qiuyi liked to eat in her previous life, a dish of braised pork slices, which were fried crispy with a lot of oil and then stir-fried again. She also prepared all the side dishes, with onions, carrots, and green peppers cooked to the perfect temperature, and they were crispy.

The seasonings were also taken out from the space. Bai Xiaojing prepared them all for her specially. They looked delicious and fragrant.

Another dish is spicy shredded pork. Vegetables are hard to come by in this season, but the dish made by Su Qiuyi is green and pleasing to the eye.

She likes to eat spicy shredded pork, but the spicy shredded pork she likes has less shredded pork and more shredded green peppers, carrots and coriander.

Today I came here according to my own preferences.

Maybe it’s because we are used to being frugal. Meat is a bit more expensive, so we don’t want to put too much.

Next came the common dishes at home, and she brought out the essence of a dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes.

Although the world has basic seasonings like grain, oil and vinegar, the spicy peppercorns are missing from the stir-fried shredded potatoes.

But Su Qiuyi has been here for so long, and except for secretly having it as a snack for herself, she has never eaten this dish. Today, she really wanted to eat it, and couldn't help but make it.

In her previous life, she would reward herself whenever there were festivals or when she was in a good mood, and she would make four dishes for herself: spicy shredded pork, braised pork slices, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and spinach and egg soup.

She has done everything today. Of course, spinach is not available in this season, and there was a drought in the summer. The entire Xiangling County relies on vegetables and grains shipped in from outside. They are all potatoes, cabbages, radishes and mustard greens that can be eaten in winter, which can be stored and have a higher yield.

The four dishes that Su Qiuyi prepared today would not be edible even in the garrison.

What's more, she also had steamed dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions as a staple food, which was almost the New Year's Eve dinner for the garrison.

In winter, rich families would eat meat for every meal, including chicken, duck, fish and pork, but vegetables were still a luxury, such as potatoes and cabbage, which are common in the market.

The food was ready, and when Su Laosan and Chu Mingxiao came back, the three sisters quickly brought the hot food to the table.

Unexpectedly, Chu Mingxiao also had a surprise for them.

"Here, this is the prey I hunted at the foot of Qinghe Mountain today! Let's stew it tomorrow!"

As soon as Chu Mingxiao entered the door, he gave Su Qiuyi a silly roe deer and two rabbits.

Before Su Qiuyi could say anything, the prey in his hand was taken away by his two sisters and put into the kitchen.

She said blankly, "Did you go to Qinghe Mountain today? Can you hunt roe deer at the foot of the mountain?"

Seeing Su Qiuyi's shocked expression, Chu Mingxiao felt that his chances of success for what he was going to propose today had increased, so he nodded easily.

"Yes, Qinghe Mountain is quite big. I caught these easily at the foot of the mountain. It's winter now, and they all come out to look for food..."

As he spoke, he observed Su Qiuyi's expression calmly.

"Very good…"

"It smells so good, Yiyi, what delicious food did you make for dinner?" Su Qiuyi had just rubbed his hands and said that it was great, and was thinking that he had all the excuses when Su Laosan walked in and smelled the fragrance as soon as he came in.

Chu Mingxiao then noticed the fragrance in the room. Just now, he was so focused on his own plans that he didn't pay attention to it. Now when he smelled the fragrance, he felt hungry.

"I've made a lot of delicious food tonight. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" Su Qiuyi put her thoughts aside first. Anyway, she was planning to talk about it at the dinner table later.
