I poured a bag of river sand on the ground in the corner, forming a small platform about two fingers wide and thick. I took out the soybeans that I had soaked last night from the kitchen, sprinkled them evenly on the river sand, and then poured the remaining river sand on it, slowly piling it into a tall small sandbag.

Put a circle of big stones on the edge to prevent the sand from being washed away by water, pour water on it, and spread a thick layer of hay on the sand. There is no extra cloth at home, so I can only spread a thick layer of hay. Now that the weather is still hot, these bean sprouts should sprout soon.

What is Suihe doing? He is growing bean sprouts. Generally, bean sprouts are grown in ceramic jars, but the conditions at home are limited, so we can only use the old method of using sand to grow them.

After finishing all this, Suihe continued to pick soybeans.

"Suihe, is your grandfather home? I'm here to bring him a millstone." Zhao Tiezhu pushed a cart to Suihe's door.

"Uncle Tiezhu, my grandfather went up the mountain to chop trees. How come the millstones were delivered so quickly? Shouldn't they be delivered tomorrow?" Sui He hurried to support the cart. The two big stones were too heavy.

"I don't have much to do, so I did it quickly to avoid wasting your time. I just brought it to you right after it was finished. Take a look at it and see if it's like this." Zhao Tiezhu unloaded the stone mill from the car and reassembled it. Not only the stone mill, but also the wooden frame was prepared.

Sui He carefully examined the millstone and said with a smile, "Yes, this is it. Thank you, Uncle Tiezhu!"

Zhao Tiezhu waved his hand: "Why thank you? But what do you use this for? Grinding flour?"

Sui He quickly shook his head, "No, Uncle Tiezhu, I'll grind some soybeans."

"Grind soybeans? Make soybean powder, that's fine too." Zhao Tiezhu placed the stone mill according to Sui He's finger and said, "I'll leave the stuff here. Tell your grandfather later."

Suihe did not explain much. She did use the stone mill to grind soybeans. "Okay, Uncle Tiezhu, I'll tell him when grandpa comes back." Suihe nodded repeatedly. She wanted to pay the money, but she didn't know how much money her grandfather had agreed with her. She simply didn't ask and would give the money to him when grandpa came back.

"Okay, I'll go back first then." After putting the things down, Zhao Tiezhu drove the cart away.

Sui He went forward and pushed it. It was quite heavy.

I had just finished picking all the soybeans, so I weighed out three pounds of soybeans, put them in a bucket, and soaked them in water.

When Sui He finished with soybeans, he saw Zhao Da Zhuang, who had just returned, coming over with his friends.

"Brother Suihe, here's some wheat." Dazhuang handed Suihe a handful of wheat. It was indeed a small handful, about twenty grains, but there were many of them, so each of them had a small handful, which was enough for Suihe to plant.

"Brother Suihe, we can only take these. These are used for planting at home. The rest are taken to the town to exchange for silver." Dazhuang knew that what he took was a little too little, but his family would never give him food to make candy.

"This is what we collected. See if it's enough. If not, we can make less." The other children also spoke up.

"That's enough. Come back in a few days." Sui He put the handful of wheat into the cloth bag and prepared to plant it on the land in the space at night.

The space flow rate is different, and a large area should be harvested in two or three days.

"Okay, Brother Suihe, remember to call us when the time comes. If you have nothing else to do, we'll go out and play." The children were running all over the mountain. If they hadn't agreed to help Suihe find river sand, they would have gone to the mountain to watch the trees being cut down.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road," Sui He waved his hand.

When the children saw that everything was fine, they all ran away.

During the whole journey of fleeing from famine, Suihe had been dressed in men's clothes. She did not change back into women's clothes even when she arrived at Qingshan Village. Firstly, she only had men's clothes, and secondly, it was much more convenient to do things as a man.

Her grandparents also listened to her and did not let her change back into her clothes, so the villagers of Qingshan Village did not know that she was actually a woman.

As for reputation? Can reputation be used to make a living? As long as she doesn't care, no one can use her reputation to hold her hostage.

Sui He looked at the wheat grains in his hand and thought about where to plant them in the space. He also thought about harvesting the other crops in the space, otherwise they would grow more and more.

After an afternoon, the people who went up the mountain to cut trees were done, and a large pile of branches were delivered to Suihe's home one after another.

These trees were bought by Suihe's family, so the cut branches should belong to Suihe's family.

But some people are greedy and lazy and don't want to go to the mountain to cut trees, so they come up with a bad idea.

"Huang Cuihua, don't you know how much you took? Do you think these firewoods belong to your family?"

Sui He, who was still cleaning up at home, heard a quarrel not far from the door. When Sui He heard the familiar name, he wanted to see what Huang Cuihua was doing.

Since the last incident, everything has been peaceful. Sui He thought Huang Cuihua had calmed down. Unexpectedly, she started making trouble again just a few days after the peaceful days.

Sui He approached and saw that it was Huang Cuihua who was trying to secretly hide a large bundle of firewood behind her back and was about to take it home secretly, but was caught by several other people present.

"I... I didn't take much... Besides, I'm helping." Huang Cuihua's eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look directly at everyone.

"You didn't take much? What's that big bundle in your hand? You're still trying to help. How many times have you been back and forth? Have you ever been to Chen's house once? You took everything home. If you don't tell us, do you think we are blind?" Someone couldn't stand it anymore and accused them.

They were here to help the Chen family, and thought Huang Cuihua was also here to help, so they didn't pay much attention to her. Unexpectedly, she took the branches home secretly when they were not paying attention.

These branches, when dried, make excellent firewood.

Huang Cuihua started to act like a rogue when she saw this, "This is my house, why can't I take it back?"

"You..." Hearing Huang Cuihua say this, the other party was stunned. Isn't this the tree from Suihe's family? When did it become hers, Huang Cuihua's family? What's going on?

Hearing this, Sui He stood up and said loudly, "Huang Cuihua, when did the things my family bought become yours?"

Huang Cuihua curled her lips and snorted, "You forgot, but I didn't. More than a month ago, your family used two broken backpacks to extort one tael of silver from me. This tree was bought with that silver. The tree that my family bought with my silver is mine, isn't it?"

When they heard Huang Cuihua say that the Chen family used two baskets to extort a tael of silver from her, they all took a deep breath and said, "What's going on? Why do you say that the Chen family extorted money from her?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, but it's too much for these two people to extort one ounce of silver from me."

"No way, the Chen family not only provides one meal when building a house, but also pays five cents more for the labor than others. They shouldn't be the kind of people who would cheat people." The villagers who didn't know the truth began to whisper.

Sui He heard the whispers around him and saw their puzzled expressions. He knew that if he didn't explain this matter clearly, other villagers would misunderstand him.

She also hates being misunderstood.

Sui He sneered, "I extorted money from your family? Why don't you tell everyone how I extorted you?"
