After the marriage was broken off, the whole village next door regretted it
Chapter 39 It finally rained
"Okay! I want more..."
She squatted down, holding a branch and writing on the ground, roughly explaining the structure of the yard to Shen Yi, and finally asked about the farmland, "How was the autumn harvest in your village this year?"
Shen Yi saw her concern and explained the situation to her in detail, "I dug a well at the place you pointed out before, and the water output was large. The fields in the village were irrigated in time and were not affected. Later, water suddenly began to emerge from the mud of the Daxun River, and the river water slowly rose, completely solving the problem of water shortage in the village.
Thanks to you, my crops have also had a good harvest, but..."
Shen Yi leaned close to Su Tai's ear and lowered his voice, "My family's grain yield per mu is 1,200 kilograms, 200 kilograms more than yours. I dare not disclose this matter. I hid the extra grain and only told others that the yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms."
Su Tai was shocked, "What's going on?"
Shen Yi did not hide it from her. "I am not sure either. From childhood to adulthood, the crops that have passed through my care have always grown better than those of others. I can also detect where there are good things and dangers in the mountains in the shortest time. However, these things have caused me a lot of trouble in the past, so I have never told anyone."
Su Tai looked at Shen Yi again, but couldn't see anything special after looking at him for a long time. She stopped worrying and was secretly delighted. "This way you can save a lot of food! By the way, I promised some people in the village to help them get grain seeds. I still need your help. Don't let it slip."
"Okay!" Shen Yi agreed readily.
The two of them had their own secrets and became closer.
Xu and Han, who were far away, saw this and smiled at each other.
Xu sighed, "Originally, I brought Shen Yi here today to discuss the wedding date with your family, but now it seems there is no rush."
Han was stunned, looked at Su Chunlin guiltily, and said with a wry smile: "We just wanted to get the house done before winter. I'm really sorry for not considering it carefully!"
Mrs. Xu shook her head. "I was a little unhappy just now, but now I've figured it out. Ayi's house is too old and really not suitable for marrying a daughter-in-law. Let's talk about it next year!"
Han was deeply moved and took Xu's hand and promised: "After the autumn harvest next year, we will definitely let the two children get married!"
After hearing Han's words, Xu felt relieved. It was just a matter of waiting for another year! They could afford to wait!
Because Shen Yi also wanted to build a house and hadn't made any preparations yet, they had to hurry back and couldn't stay to help.
Before leaving, Su Tai and Shen Yi reminded them, "Buy more land, especially poor quality land and sandy land, to grow soybeans and peanuts."
Shen Yi knew that Su Tai would not harm him, so he nodded in agreement.
Su Chunlin also took the opportunity to talk about buying seeds, and Shen Yi agreed very readily.
Time flies when we are busy. In the blink of an eye, it was October. Just when Su Chunlin's family was building the house in full swing, an autumn rain came quietly.
The villagers, who were used to drought, did not react for a while until the rain got heavier and heavier, soaking everyone through. Then everyone believed that it was really raining. All of a sudden, the villagers who were working rushed to the open space and laughed at the sky.
"It's finally raining! It's finally raining! God is finally seeing the light!"
Su Tai also breathed a sigh of relief. If it didn't rain again, she would not be able to continue helping.
This autumn rain lasted for three days.
The dry forest seemed to be reborn after the baptism, especially the mushrooms in the mountains, which emerged one after another from the dead branches and rotten leaves. Unfortunately, no one dared to eat them and no one touched them.
Everyone was happy for a few days and immediately sped up the work at hand.
Because the temperature drops sharply after an autumn rain, it is expected to snow early.
Fortunately, the wood for the beams was cut and dried in advance, so there will be no delay in putting up the beams.
Thanks to the efforts of half of the villagers, Su Tai's new yard was finally completed before the snow fell.
The entire farmyard is almost entirely made of stones, and the gaps are filled with yellow mud or hay clippings. It is much stronger than the previous adobe houses and is not afraid of drought and weathering.
Although the roof was still a thatched roof, it was laid with a row of wooden boards inside. It was very strong and more durable than ordinary thatched roofs. Even the floor of the room was paved with extra large stone slabs, making it look clean and tidy.
Su Chunlin spent five taels of silver to have all the tables, chairs, cabinets and beds made.
When Su Chunlin and Han installed the last wooden window, they were ready to move.
The first time Han took her three children to the town to buy new quilts for the winter, she also had to prepare new clothes for everyone in the family, and buy new pots and pans. All in all, she spent five taels of silver. The four of them couldn't even bring anything back, and they had to rent an ox cart to help transport the things.
Everything was ready. Su Chunlin thought of his elder brother Su Chunsen and hurried to discuss it with Han.
"I want to go to the county town to tell my elder brother and give him something. If it weren't for his help over the years, we wouldn't be able to make it this far. We should be grateful."
Han agreed very much. "Whatever you want to do, call Xiaotai and let her go with you. As for what to bring... our family only has food now, how about bringing some wheat for big brother?"
Su Chunlin nodded and decided to take 60 kilograms of food with him.
Su Tai secretly exchanged sixty kilograms of grain for wheat stored in the transit station of the Space-Time Gate.
The father and daughter came to the back door of the Bai Mansion.
It was Awang who opened the door again. Perhaps Su Chunsen had instructed him to do so, so this time Awang took them directly to the side room in the courtyard to rest.
After waiting for a while, the two women did not wait for Su Chunsen, but waited for another woman.
Today, Wan was unhappy about some things happening in the lady's courtyard. She happened to meet Awang who went to look for Suchuan. After asking, she found out that someone had come from her hometown again.
Wan gets angry when she mentions her poor relatives from her hometown. It's obvious that her husband had sold himself to help his brother from his hometown get married and build a house, and their relationship has been completely severed. However, the relatives from that side still come to ask for money from him from time to time over the years.
She endured the severe drought years, but at the beginning of this year, people from her hometown came to ask for so many grain seeds. Obviously, she wouldn’t be that sad. It’s so shameless to come to her house to ask for things!
Wan came in aggressively without even opening her mouth.
Su Chunlin stood up as if frightened, and called out respectfully, "Sister-in-law!"
This attitude...Wan suddenly felt a little embarrassed to get angry.
Su Tai looked at her nose and her heart, and immediately followed and called out, "Auntie."
Wan looked over and saw that Su Tai looked pretty and had clear eyes. She looked very well behaved. Her face looked better, but her attitude was a little cold. "Achuan's father and the master are out. They are not at home. I came to see him."
Su Chunlin hurriedly pulled out the grains and said with a simple smile, "Sister-in-law, we came here today for nothing. We just wanted to ask you to help get some grain seeds in the spring. You don't want money, but we can't let you suffer. This year, we have surplus grain at home after the autumn harvest, so I wanted to send some to you, and I'll give you the rest after the autumn harvest next year."
