Chapter 544 The fourth day of February, great joy

On the fourth day of February, the Li family was very happy.

Every household in Liushugou came to help, and the gifts were not generous. This family received ten cents, and that family received five cents. In addition, they would add some red wine or a few eggs.

It’s not easy for every household, and we don’t really all come to have a feast with the whole family. One person from each family comes to help cook, wash vegetables and wash dishes.

The conditions of the woman's family were not very good, but the Li family did not take it lightly. The banquet was held in a prosperous manner.

Many people still remember it after eating it, saying it was the best banquet held in recent years.

That big pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, that bowl of cold preserved eggs, that thin bean flour mixed with roasted pork, radish and bone soup, and pickled fish,

Few people in the village eat this food because they don't know how to make it. It's quite fishy when made.

Unexpectedly, the meat I ate at Lao Li’s house was delicate and tender, not fishy at all. When paired with sauerkraut, it became a perfect meal.

Bowl after bowl was full of meat dishes, and the dishes on the wine table were all eaten. After a banquet, the host was happy and the guests were happy to eat.

It was already evening when Su's mother and Su's father returned home.

"Auntie, how are you? Is it fun?" Su Ziling moved a stool and sat next to Su's mother, her face full of curiosity.

"It's so lively. Didn't your uncle and the others start a konjac tofu business last year? They have better relations with the villagers. In addition, many people have grown konjac this year and plan to sell it to your uncle and the others. How can this banquet not be lively? ”

"What about my eldest cousin? How is she doing?"

"Human? I look good. Although I'm a little darker, a little thinner, and a little less talkative, I still have a good-looking smile, and I'm not petty. I speak clearly and logically. How can your grandma see this person? It’s not bad.”

"By the way, your grandma has been talking about you and saying that you didn't go. She knows that you like to eat fish. On the big day, she specially asked your second cousin to catch a few fish for you and let us bring them back."

Su Ziling was so happy when she heard the scene described by Su's mother. Even if she didn't see it, she had already thought of the excitement and atmosphere.

"Where is Sanlang? Has Sanlang gone back? I asked him to go back early."

"I'm back. I came back two days early. Even Mu Lan took two days off and came back."

The fourth child, Li Mulan, has been sent to the same school as Su Zimu this year.

Firstly, this academy is most suitable for common people like them, and secondly, with Su Zimu here, the two cousins ​​also have someone to take care of them.

Entering February, Lao Su's family became very busy again.

While harvesting broad beans and peas, I was also busy with spring plowing.

After the peas were harvested, each family dried them and sent them to Lao Su's house. They were afraid that their family wouldn't be able to afford so many peas, which cost three cents per catty. If the harvest from this acre of land were better, it would be three hundred catties, which is almost impossible. There is also a weight of 240 or 50 pounds.

This acre of land costs seven to eight hundred cash, or more than nine hundred cash.

This was the first time they had planted so many peas. In previous years, they had grown wheat and only scattered some peas to eat themselves.

Now looking at the heavy money in their hands, many people feel extremely regretful.

"If I had known, I would have planted all peas. This acre of land has more than 700 taels of silver. If I plant 7, 8 or 10 acres of it, wouldn't I have 5 or 6 taels of silver?"

"No, if you plant ten acres, that's seven taels. It's higher than the previous year's income. This year, we must grow more this year."

"It's mainly my first time and I have no experience. Next time, next time we will plant whatever they want!"

"I think it's not that you are inexperienced, but you are afraid that they won't be able to get so much, and if you sow it, no one will reap it, right?"

"Go, go, go, you say it as if you have no worries. If you had no worries, would you only plant five acres? You must know that this land belongs to your family the most!"

"By the way, what do you think about interplanting this year?"

"What do you think? Come with uncle and his family!"

"That's right, it's been so long and you still haven't seen the trick?"

"What's the name?"

"You can make money by farming with your uncle's family!"

"That's true! Hahahaha!"

Everyone was completely convinced at this time. Last year, Su Ziling's family said they would do interplanting, but only a few followed. As a result, not only did their corn harvest not decrease, but they also had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes.

Those families made a lot of extra money. When they were planting Xiaochun, they said they could harvest more kinds of peas, but everyone planted them, but they didn’t fully believe it and still planted part of them.

Well, those families who grew peas made a lot of money directly. For example, Ji Yunchu's family was orphaned and widowed. They were busy running a stall and farming at the same time.

She didn't have time to manage the planting. When Su Ziling said about harvesting peas, she simply planted them all. No, she earned several taels of silver from planting the six acres of land.

After harvesting the peas, all the pea trees were given to Su Ziling, so there was no way to feed the cows.

At this point, she also agreed to rent the land to the old Su family, and she was fully responsible for the business in Shan'ao.

While collecting rent, the mother and daughter also received wages, which made many people envious.

At the end of February, there was news about the person Su A'nai had been scouting for Su Zizhong for a long time.

During dinner that night, Su A'nai mentioned this matter.

"Zizhong, don't set up a stall tomorrow. There is news about the marriage I told you last time. Tomorrow you take Xiaoqing and your second aunt to see it. If you like it, I will find you. My aunt went to propose the marriage."

Suddenly hearing the news, not only Su Zizhong was shocked, but even Su Ziling was a little stunned.

"Grandma, why is it so sudden?"

"It's not sudden," Su A'nai said softly, "I've been asking people to inquire about it a few years ago. No, I just wanted you to check out the news your aunt just gave you yesterday. It depends on the person.”

Although she mentioned it years ago, there has been no news so far, so she thought the matter was settled.

"Grandma, where is that girl from? Is she far from our village?"

"It's not far away. You two brothers and sisters have also been to their village," Su A'nai smiled and raised her finger to point to her right side.

Su Ziling's eyes widened, "Wangjiacun?"

"Yes." Su A'nai nodded, "It's Wangjia Village. It's only half an hour away from us. It's not too far. You can go and have a look tomorrow. Although your aunt replied to me, she said that this girl is special. Okay, we are the top leaders at home and outside, and we have to make sure that Zizhong likes her. Just go take a look, and if you don’t succeed, ask your aunt to help you look at her. "

Several people talked for a long time, and they were all very excited. On the contrary, Su Zizhong, the person involved, ate his meal calmly.

As if this matter had nothing to do with him, Su Ziling was about to ask something when her peripheral vision fell on his ears that were so red that they were bleeding.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother, what do you think?"

After eating for a long time, Su Zizhong, who had not picked up a bite of food, was suddenly called. His action of picking up rice paused, and soon returned to normal.

"What do you think? As long as you think it's okay."

"What do you mean we just have to say yes? Grandma has said it. You have to like it!" Su Ziling deliberately teased him.

Su Zizhong's face turned red visibly. He finished the rice in the bowl in several mouthfuls, put down the bowl and said, "It seems that the cow grass has not been thrown away yet. I'll throw it away" and ran away.

"You girl, your elder brother dares to make fun of you." Su A'nai smiled and gave her a look.

Su Ziling stuck out her tongue, "I didn't know that my eldest brother would be so easily shy."

Su Zizhong usually had a dull face and no expression. It was rare to see him shy. Su Ziling got playful and teased him. Who knew he was really so shy.

"The year is over, and you are now seventeen," Su A'nai had just finished speaking, when Su Ziling's heart rang with alarm bells.

"Grandma!"

"What's wrong?" She suddenly shouted loudly, and Su A'nai was startled.

"If we go to Wangjia Village, we can't just go like this, right? I'm thinking, why don't we make more bean flour and treat it as selling bean flour?"

"Okay, then you soak all the peas..."

Seeing that Su A'nai's attention was successfully diverted, Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to get burned.
