Chapter 169 Purchasing
Su He nodded, without any hesitation, and went to wash up with a smile.
After breakfast, Su Mu had already harnessed the ox cart and moved all the things onto it.
"We're leaving now."
The earlier you go, the earlier you can come back. Su He is still thinking about the fact that Su Dawu and Su Danian have to go to Xujia Village today.
They go early and come back early, so grandpa and grandma can feel more at ease.
After Su He and his companions set off for the town, the other members of the Su family had also finished their breakfast and were ready to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms.
Xu Lian was a little confused when she saw that several people were carrying backpacks. She thought that the Su family members were going to work in the fields early.
She hurriedly said that she could go and help herself.
Mrs. Xie smiled and waved at her, saying that she should have a good rest since she had just arrived, and that she should stay at home with Old Lady Su.
When they come back later, I will take her to the sweet potato flour workshop next door.
Old Mrs. Su at the side also tried to comfort them. Xu Lian was a girl and had never been to the mountains before, so she was naturally worried about her going with them. What if something happened?
Seeing this, Xu Lian had no choice but to agree.
After noon, Su He saw that the food on their stall was almost sold out, so she went shopping with Su Mu.
There are not many guests now, so Xia Mei can handle it alone. She can just clean up the dishes and other things after they come back.
Because what they need to buy are the ingredients for setting up the stall tomorrow, and also the food to be taken to Xujia Village for Su Xiaoyun's family.
There are a lot of things to buy, and Su He can't carry them all by herself, so the two of them have to go together.
Xia Mei waved at them repeatedly. There were not many customers at that time, and she was familiar with it and could handle it.
Seeing this, Su He and Su Mu hurried towards the market. They went early and came back early to avoid delays.
Su He had already thought about the things he needed to buy last night, so he bought them quickly.
The two of them first went to buy all the ingredients they would need for their stall tomorrow.
He went to buy grain, rice, flour, grain and oil. What the Xu family lacked most now was food.
I also bought some cloth. Xu Lian wore this kind of cloth, not to mention other people.
Xu Lian was now wearing the new set of clothes that she had given her yesterday, but it was naturally not enough, so Su He specially picked out a piece of crimson material for her, which was just right for her age. She would then ask Xie and the others to help make two more sets for Xu Lian to wear as alternations.
Thinking of the broken bowls and chopsticks that the Xu family had received yesterday, Su He bought a set of pots, pans, and utensils, as well as a set of needles and thread, and farm tools.
Seeing that it was about time, the two of them walked back.
By the time the two returned to the stall, the food they brought today had been sold out.
The three of them quickly packed up their things and headed back to Yunli Village.
Su family.
In the morning, Xu Lian didn't know where to go, so she followed Old Lady Su to harvest sweet potatoes, and went out to cut grass for pigs and feed the chickens and rabbits in the backyard.
Seeing so many chickens and rabbits in the backyard, Xu Lian realized that the backyard was different from before.
Not only do they raise pigs, they also have a cowshed.
There were too many things going on yesterday and she didn't have the time to think too much. She thought the ox cart she took back was borrowed from someone else's family.
Unexpectedly, it was the cow that my grandfather bought himself.
She knew how valuable cows were. There were only two families in Xujia Village who bought cows.
They are usually very prestigious in the village, because during the busy farming season every family would go to borrow their cows to plow the fields. So on weekdays, everyone who sees these two families is polite to them, and will give them some face no matter what they do.
I didn’t expect that the Su family also raised cows.
Moreover, when she saw Su He and the others go out in the morning, she asked Old Mrs. Su and found out that the Su family was still selling food at a stall in the town.
It’s great to set up a stall in town!
And I heard that their business is pretty good. No wonder the Su family now raises pigs and cows.
There seem to be quite a few chickens and rabbits.
Old Mrs. Su also told her that the Su family also had a new workshop next door, and that she would be taken there to have a look when her aunt and her family came back later.
Xu Lian felt like her brain was not enough. The last time she came to the Su family was when her eldest cousin got married. But she was in a hurry that time and did not notice the changes in the Su family.
I just felt that my eldest cousin’s wedding was really grand. Not only did he have a new wedding dress, but he also invited the village head and clan elders.
The food is also very generous, with plenty of meat and vegetables and plenty of oil.
Only now was Xu Lian certain that the Su family had really gotten better.
But she was not jealous at all, instead she felt somewhat fortunate.
Fortunately, the Su family is getting better now, otherwise even if they wanted to help the Xu family, they would be powerless.
She was also very grateful to the Su family. When her family was in the most difficult time, they not only gave money but also helped. Otherwise, her family would have had a hard time.
She lives in the Su family now, so she can help the Su family with more work.
Thinking about how Su He was busy all day yesterday and fell into a deep sleep in the morning, Xu Lian secretly thought that she must do more work to help the Su family.
She doesn't know how to do the work in the workshop or at the stall, but she can do the housework. When she was at the Xu family, she was the one who did almost all the housework, big and small.
Xu Qingshan and Su Xiaoyun were both too busy to finish the work in the fields, and naturally Li and Xu Yao didn't do the housework either, so they left it all to her.
Thinking of this, Xu Lian suddenly understood, and then she stood up and started to clean up wherever she saw work.
When Old Mrs. Su saw this, she just let her go. When Xu Lian first arrived yesterday, she looked very depressed. She was afraid that she would think too much and that would be bad.
It’s good to have a job now. Anyway, this little chores at home are not tiring.
After Old Man Su and his group came back, they waited until Mrs. Xie and her husband had finished cooking the mushroom sauce, then took Xu Lian to the workshop next door.
Xu Lian saw that not only had the workshop hired more people, but everyone was busy with their work. On the other side, the shelf was full of a long, thin thing hanging out to dry.
I think it must be the sweet potato noodles they mentioned. It looks really magical.
Seeing Xu Lian's curious expression, Xie and the others let her go.
After Xu Lian walked around, she sat down and helped wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces.
She didn't know how to do anything else, and she didn't dare to do anything else, for fear of breaking it and causing trouble for the Su family.
After the Shen time (around 16:00 in the afternoon), Su Dawu and Su Danian came back carrying hoes.
They said they were going to deliver something to Xujia Village today, and thinking that Su He and the others should be back by about time, they went back first.
In the main room, Old Mrs. Su had already packed up some things that she thought Su Xiaoyun might be able to use, and she also caught a few chicks and put them in cages.
Just as we were done, Su He and his friends came back.
Su Mu first fed the cow some tender grass and water, let the cow rest for a while, and then loaded up the things before setting off for Xujia Village.
