After returning from visiting the Shen family, the Su family members did not go out easily anymore.

Only Su Weixi and Su's father found time to go outside the city and put some things they had collected in the valley on the carriage and brought them back.

She simply told Madam Zeng and the others that it was brought here by someone else.

After taking out the things, the Su family decorated the house again. Shen Jingzhou had arranged for people to decorate it very carefully before, so they only needed to put away some of the things that their family was used to.

"Sister, I don't like it here."

Su Weixi was reading a book when Ningning ran in with a pout on her face and complained.

He put down the book, picked up the little guy and asked, "Weren't you very happy a few days ago? Why don't you like it now?"

"Because there are no strawberries to pick here." Ningning lowered her head, looking very disappointed.

Looking at the little guy who had lost his vitality, Su Weixi was almost heartbroken.

"Baby, can sister perform a magic trick for you?" Su Weixi tried to attract the little guy's attention.

"Great, great! Sister is always so good at performing magic." Ningning said excitedly.

"Then you have nothing in your hand, right?"

After Su Weixi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and began to spin it around, very exaggeratedly. Finally, he stretched his hand behind his back and turned it around, revealing a few strawberries in his hand.

"Wow, Strawberry, sister is so awesome."

"Don't you want to eat strawberries? Come on and eat them."

"I'll take it and eat it with my brother." After saying that, she got out of Su Weixi's arms and ran to the study to find An An.

Su Weixi, who stayed where she was, realized after Ningning's commotion that life at home was not as convenient as in the valley.

When the Su family lived in the valley, they grew a lot of vegetables and fruits, so there was no shortage of food at home.

Although some fruits and vegetables can be bought on the street now, some of the fruits and vegetables grown by the Su family were not available in this dynasty.

For example, peppers, tomatoes, watermelons, strawberries, lemons, etc.

A lot of crops were planted in the space farm, but it was not convenient to take them out. It was okay once or twice, but it was not a long-term solution.

He got up and went to find Su's father and mother to discuss the matter of buying a farm for the family.

With a farm, the family can grow the vegetables they need and build a strawberry garden so they can go there from time to time to experience the joy of picking strawberries.

When Su Weixi arrived at Su's parents' yard, Su's mother was enjoying afternoon tea in the yard, while Su's father was reading a book.

"Xixi, you're here." Su's mother saw Su Weixi first, and Su's father also raised his head.

"Mom and Dad, I'm here to discuss something with you." Su Weixi sat down next to Su Ma.

"What's wrong?" Su Ma looked at her daughter in confusion.

Su Weixi told him about his sister coming to see him just now, and then he also told her that he wanted to buy a farm.

"The family really needs to sell a farm and add some more people." Su's mother agreed with Su Weixi's suggestion and also expressed her own idea of ​​adding some people to the family.

"Don't you want to not have too many outsiders in the house? Why do you suddenly want to hire someone?" Dad Su understood that Mom Su also wanted to buy a farm, but he didn't understand why she wanted to hire some servants.

Su Weixi also looked at Su Ma in confusion.

"Because we live in different places now." Su Ma said meaningfully.

After Su Ma's explanation, the two finally understood Su Ma's thoughts.

Su Ma had this idea when she visited the Shen Mansion that day and Shen Jingzhou personally arranged a carriage to pick up the Su family.

Although the family has a horse carriage now, only Su's father and Awen can drive it.

If you want to go out on weekdays, it is impossible to let Su's father drive the car, especially when visiting someone's home.

It’s not that Su Ma wants to save face, but this is the way of the times.

In the past life, no one would find it strange that a billionaire president drove his own car, but in this dynasty, a wealthy lord would be laughed at if he drove his own carriage, so it is better not to do something that would attract attention.

Besides, at present, Wang, the chef, is the only one in charge of the kitchen at home, which is quite busy.

But Awen has always been the one guarding the gate. If Su's father took Awen out that day and someone knocked on the door, the others in the inner courtyard might not be able to hear it.

At least we need to arrange an old man to guard the gate.

When Su Weixi goes out, Qiao'er can follow her. Now that An'an and Ningning have grown up, it is definitely too busy for Nanny Zeng to take care of the two children alone.

They are at an active age, and Nanny Zeng is also old.

Su Ma thought that it would be a good idea to have some help around An An and Ning Ning so that there would be someone to help run errands when they go out.

Before, Nanny Zeng and Qiao'er and her daughter were both sent by Xiao Yi. Although they were sold to the Su family, they were not treated as servants but only as employees.

Awen was bought because Su's father was soft-hearted, but he also taught him seriously to read and practice martial arts, just treating him as having another child in the family.

Now that Su's mother has proposed to buy some servants, Su's father and Su Weixi are still finding it hard to adapt.

"I know that buying people is a bit of a hurdle, but it's different here than in modern times. Hiring short-term or long-term workers is not as loyal as buying out the indentures of those who sold their bodies," Su Ma advised.

"Besides, we are not a family that can execute servants at will. Just think of it as a long-term contract signed with them." Su Ma added.

Su's father and Su Weixi were not that saintly. They were just a little hesitant at first, but they knew that what Su's mother said was the best way to deal with the situation at the moment.

So he quickly agreed to Su Ma's idea of ​​adding some staff to the family.

None of the three were the type to procrastinate. It was only noon, and they told Nanny Zeng to keep an eye on the two little ones.

He asked Awen to harness the carriage and go to the brokerage firm to see if there was a suitable farm and servants.

They took some copper coins and buns and asked different beggars on the street about the pawnbrokers in the border town. After finding out that Li's pawnbroker was the most reliable, they went straight to the pawnbroker.

"Hey, sir, please come in. What can you do for me today?" As soon as Su Weixi and his two companions arrived at the pawnshop, the waiter came forward and greeted them warmly.

"We want to buy a farm and some servants." Father Su stated his needs.

"Please come this way, sir. You've made the right decision to come to our shop. A group of people have just arrived recently." The waiter led the three people into a private room, which should be used to entertain important clients on weekdays.

The Su family has received a lot of good fabrics from the Shen and Xiao families over the years, so the fabrics for making clothes at home are not bad.

The waiters were all very observant and naturally recognized that the fabrics on the three people's bodies were not something that ordinary people could wear.

Even though Su Ma and Su Weixi were not wearing expensive jewelry, the waiter did not look down on them.

What's more, Su's father said from the beginning that he wanted to buy a farm, and those who can buy a farm usually come from wealthy families.

"Please sit down and have some tea first, my guests. I'll go find the broker with the most money and the most people in our business." said the waiter after pouring tea for the three people.

"Okay, go ahead." Father Su waved his hand and asked him to leave.

The waiters are usually only responsible for serving tea, guiding and learning, while the ones who are really responsible for the buying and selling are the brokers.
