"So that's how it is." Sui He nodded: "Grandma and Anzhi went to the street and haven't come back yet."

Anzhi made a lot of hair flowers these past two days and sent them to Yaniang. Suihe had something to do today and didn't go.

"It's okay. I just came here to take a look because I was bored at home." Aunt He nodded and helped Sui He organize the things on the table.

"There are only a few sheets in this basket. Is that enough?" Aunt He glanced at the rice paper in Anzhi's hand.

"It's a little too little, but it's better than nothing." Sui He took a look and saw that there were more than a dozen in his hand. It looked like a lot, but most of them were the size of a palm. These were not enough to make a more complicated flower. "But it's okay. I'll go find some tomorrow."

"Little girl, it's not safe in the mountains. My son often goes out hunting. I asked them to keep an eye on you and bring them back to you if they see anything, so you don't have to run up the mountain," said Aunt He.

"That's too much trouble. Hunting is tiring for them. I can find it myself." Sui He shook her head. She really felt that this was not a good idea. Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei hunted in the mountains every day to supplement the family income. It would be too much trouble for her to find this for them. Besides, she was not that familiar with them. It would be embarrassing to ask them to bring her things when they went hunting.

And when she dug the grass, she moved some small plants into the space, and now they have grown big.

She planned to find an opportunity to sneak out and pretend that she was in the mountains.

"It's not a big deal, it's just something that happens easily." Aunt He smiled and waved her hand: "It's settled. I'll talk to them when I get back. Keep an eye out for them."

"Okay, but don't delay your own business. These are not important to me." Seeing Aunt He's insistence, Sui He could only nod in agreement.

"Hmm," Aunt He nodded randomly to deal with it. As for whether Sui He listened to what she said, she didn't know.

Aunt He sat for a while and then left. Sui He took the paper into the room and cleaned up the garbage in the yard. Soon after, grandma came back with An Zhi.

Looking at An Zhi's excited expression, we can tell that today's harvest is good.

"Second sister, we are back!" An Zhi saw Sui He and immediately ran up to her.

"I'm glad you're back. Did everything go well today?" Sui He went forward and took the heavy basket off grandma's back. "Grandma, what did you buy? It's so heavy."

"I bought some white flour. Anzhi said you liked it, so I bought some. All the money was given by Anzhi." Grandma wiped the sweat from her head. They came back in a bullock cart, but the autumn sun is known as the autumn tiger, and the autumn tiger is no joke.

The temperature is so high that it makes people think it is the dog days of summer.

"Just keep the money you earn for yourself, why buy these?" Sui He looked at An Zhi disapprovingly.

"Oh, second sister, I can earn money now, and I can help share some of the burden at home." An Zhi took Sui He's hand and said coquettishly: "Besides, second sister, didn't you tell me that money is meant to be spent? Then it's right for me to spend money to buy you delicious food."

"I didn't say you were wrong, it's just... Hey, forget it. When you make money in the future, keep it for yourself. Don't spend it all. Girls should keep some money on themselves." Sui He never thought that what she said at the beginning would come back to her one day.

She was not angry, but she was afraid that Anzhi would not be able to control himself after suddenly having a large sum of money.

She had no money before and could not get anything. Now she has money and can buy what she needs. I am afraid she will not be able to control herself and will spend crazily and retaliate. It would be fine if she always has money, but if she suddenly has no money one day, who knows what will happen.

"Yes, I know, my sister is the best." An Zhi smiled, not knowing her sister's worries at all. She followed her grandmother to take the things in the backpack to the kitchen and put them away.

Sui He was speechless when she saw An Zhi's happy expression. Never mind, she had money now, so An Zhi could buy whatever she wanted. She could still afford it.

"Suihe, are you home?" Shitou Niang knocked on Anzhi's door and said, "I'm here to bring you some sorghum rice."

"Auntie, I'm at home, come in quickly." Sui He turned around and saw Shitou Niang coming in carrying a sack of sorghum.

When they were harvesting sorghum a few days ago, Shitou brought her some sorghum stalks. She asked Shitou to go home and ask if he wanted to sell the sorghum. If he did, he could dry it and send it to her.

"This is the sorghum rice you wanted. I brought it." Shitou Niang put the sack on the ground and opened it, revealing the red sorghum rice inside. "Come and see, it's all good sorghum. I also dried it and picked out the empty shells."

Sui He went forward and grabbed a handful, picked up one and put it in his mouth, and crushed the sorghum rice with a click. After feeling the hardness, he nodded and said, "It is indeed quite dried in the sun. Bring it in and weigh it. I want all of them."

They check the dryness by biting it. The drier it is, the harder it is. On the contrary, if it is more moist, it is soft.

"Hey, let's weigh it right away." When Shitou Niang heard that Sui He agreed to harvest, she immediately wiped her hands and moved the sorghum rice to the scale.

The sack was quite large, weighing more than 70 kilograms. Suihe paid Shitou Niang the money according to the market price.

"Aunt, where is Shitou?" Sui He looked back curiously. Normally, these little brats like to run to her house, but why are they rarely seen recently?

"I don't know where he has gone. He is not home all day." Shitou Niang counted the copper coins in her hand: "These children are used to wild life. There is no need to look for them. They will come back by themselves when they are hungry."

"Oh," Suihe nodded.

"Shitou Niang is here? Come and sit down." After the grandmother put her things away and came out, she saw Shitou Niang and her granddaughter standing in the yard chatting.

Glancing at the extra sacks in the yard, grandma realized that Sui He had bought something again. She walked over to open the sack and said, "Shitou Niang, the sorghum harvest is good this year."

"No, it's the same as usual, but we planted more this year." Shitou Niang put away the copper coins in her hand and started chatting with her grandmother: "The rain is good this year, and the sorghum is growing well. In addition, we planted a lot. I heard that the girl was harvesting the crops, so I brought some over."

"This sorghum tastes soft and sticky, and her grandfather loves it. As soon as it came out, I couldn't wait to buy some for his grandfather to try." Grandma put the bag away and put the sorghum aside. She didn't know what Sui He wanted to do with the sorghum, so she put the blame on his grandfather.

"Sui He is really filial. Don't worry, the rice cooked with my sorghum will be delicious."

"Really? That's good. I'll make some for her grandfather tonight," Grandma agreed.

After the two chatted for a while, Shitou Niang went home contentedly with the copper coins in her pocket.

"Sui Sui, what are you doing with all this sorghum?" Grandma pointed at the sack of sorghum and said, "We can't finish it all in a short time, and it's hard to cook."

Since the family conditions improved and they had rice, the sweet and soft rice became their new favorite and they could not live without rice every day.

Sorghum rice and millet are also added when making porridge.

"I have some use for it, but I don't know if these are enough." Sui He scooped up half a bucket of sorghum rice to soak it. The sorghum needs to be soaked overnight before it can be steamed to be soft and sticky.

Now that sorghum is available, her wine should also be on the agenda.
