So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

"Is it installed?" After Sui He and Zhao Da Zhuang finished discussing, Grandpa came out of the house.

"It's ready, Grandpa. We can send it off now." Sui He tied the rope and clapped his hands.

"Okay, then we'll send it over. If you have anything you want, I'll bring it back for you." Grandpa went forward to check it out. It was tied quite firmly.

"We're running out of plaster at home, Grandpa, remember to bring some back." Sui He thought about it and said what he needed.

"Okay, I'll bring it back to you later, Da Zhuang, let's go." Grandpa pulled the cart and set off, and Zhao Da Zhuang pushed hard from behind.

As soon as he turned the corner of the yard, he saw Zhao Erzhuang waiting by the side with a basket. The basket was filled with the maltose they made yesterday. "Brother, what did Brother Chen say?"

"It's okay, let's go." Zhao Dazhuang didn't explain anything to his brother, but just asked him to follow.

Grandpa pulled the cart in front, and Zhao Dazhuang and his brother pushed it in the back. They went into the city, handed the tofu to the manager of HSBC Restaurant, paid the money, and left.

"Grandpa Chen, we have something else to do, so we won't go back with you." Zhao Dazhuang wanted to find a chance to separate from his second grandfather.

"I still have some things to buy. Let's meet at the city gate later." The second grandfather looked at them, then at their baskets. He knew what they were going to do, so he didn't stop them. However, this place was a bit far from the village, and he was worried about the two little ones going back alone. Anyway, he also had to buy some things, so he might as well wait for them to get better.

"Okay, I'll see you at the city gate later." Zhao Dazhuang thought for a while, then left with his brother.

Watching them go away, the second grandfather also walked towards the pharmacy with a cart. He had to buy some plaster.

"Grandma, I'm going to check out the house." Watching them walk away, Sui He said hello to his grandmother and walked towards the homestead with his small backpack on his back.

In early autumn, the sun is not so hot anymore, and the breeze blows slowly, bringing up the yellow leaves.

The homestead was not far from where she lived, and they soon arrived. The homestead was very busy and crowded. The foundation had been built in just a few days. Now they were stacking the bricks one by one.

There were two simple sheds not far from the homestead. One was for the night watchmen. There were too many valuable things on the construction site, so to prevent them from being lost, someone was assigned to watch every night. The other was the kitchen, where Aunt Liang and Aunt Li were busy, with several steamers emitting steam.

"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Lin Youwang, wearing shorts and carrying a basket of bricks, walked past Sui He. When he saw Sui He, he put down the burden on his shoulders, wiped the sweat off his face, and a big smile bloomed on his dark face.

"I'm free to come and see you, brother Youwang, you've worked hard." Sui He made way and smiled at Lin Youwang.

"Why is it so hard? It's not hard. Just turn slowly and be careful of the stones. I'll pass this thing over first." Lin Youwang said a few words to Sui He and then left with the blue bricks.

"Okay," Sui He responded, and walked towards You Liangsao.

"Sister Liang, what delicious food can you make?"

"Hey, it's Suihe. I've made steamed buns with whole grains and stew for lunch today. Do you want to eat some?" When someone called her, Sister Liang turned around from the pot and saw that it was Suihe, and she immediately replied.

"No, I just came to take a look." Sui He walked to the stove and saw several basins full of vegetables next to the pot. There was also thinly sliced ​​meat in a small basin. "Sister Liang, is this enough for you to eat at noon?"

"That's enough, that's enough. There are not only steamed buns, but also meat and vegetables. That's enough." Aunt Li wiped her hands and immediately spoke

They helped, and at noon each of them had a big bowl of stew with oil and water, and they could also share a few steamed buns. Who else would have such good food if they hired help? Only the Chen family was honest and worried that they would not have enough to eat.

"That's enough. Everyone needs to eat well. Only when you are full can you have the energy to work in the afternoon." Sui He looked at the pot, then at the steaming steamer, and then said.

Sui He chatted with several aunts for a while, then stopped disturbing them while they were working. He started to wander around the homestead, imagining the days ahead.

After a stroll, I realized that I couldn't help much. Grandpa was in charge of the homestead. Everyone was doing their own things in an orderly manner. I looked around for a while and then went home.

In the afternoon, Grandpa came back, followed by Zhao Dazhuang, who looked very happy. Zhao Dazhuang looked at Sui He and ran towards him from a distance.

"Brother Chen, guess how many copper coins I sold today." Zhao Dazhuang shook the copper coins in the basket, and the copper coins made a sound when they collided.

"Then I don't know. Tell me." Sui He sat on the table in the main hall. Zhao Da Zhuang also sat on it. He opened the basket in his hand and took out two hundred coins. "Today I only took one hundred. I bought a total of two hundred coins. There is not much left at home. I plan to share it with Goudan and the others. After all, they also brought wheat here at that time."

"Well, just make the decision. But you're pretty quick." Sui He looked at Zhao Da Zhuang in shock. She thought the maltose would take a few more days to sell, but it was all sold out in the morning.

"Yes, I went to the gate of the private school. The children who could go there were all the children of rich people. They were generous. When I went there, I happened to see them leaving school." Zhao Dazhuang couldn't hide the joy on his face. "I sold them for two cents each. After tasting them, they rushed to buy them. They also asked me to bring more next time."

"You actually thought of selling it in a private school, that's amazing!" Compared to the small-scale business in the market, maltose is indeed suitable for private schools. Those who can read must have enough money. However, Sui He did not expect Zhao Dazhuang to think of selling it in a private school.

Sui He picked up a copper coin, tossed it in his hand, and smiled happily.

She looked at Zhao Dazhuang, and suddenly she had a good idea, so she said, "Dazhuang, since maltose is so popular, let's make more next time! And we can go not only to private schools, but also to poetry gatherings where rich people gather. If we go to more places, we can sell more maltose."

Zhao Dazhuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought this was a good idea. He nodded and agreed: "Well, this is a good idea. However, we have to find a way to let more people know about our maltose."

The two of them discussed and became more and more excited, as if they had already seen the good days when they would make a fortune from maltose.

Sui He took the copper coin, divided half of it, and pushed it in front of Zhao Da Zhuang: "We promised that after the sale, we will split the money 50-50. This is yours."

"Thank you, Brother Chen." Zhao Dazhuang took the money. Although he had counted the money on the way, and it was Grandpa Chen who helped him string the coins together, he still felt happy. After all, his father couldn't make that much money in a day.

Sui He looked at his happy expression and laughed himself.

Grandpa sat at the door, drinking water, listening to the conversation between the two people in the room and the sound of them counting money, with a smile on his face.
