After buying the house and the land, Su He slept soundly until two in the afternoon, which was past mealtime.

Su He went into the kitchen as if he knew the place well to find something to eat. There was no one in the kitchen, so Su He took a meat bun and ate it slowly. He felt a little greasy after finishing it, so he picked up some pickles and ate them. Hmm, it tasted good. Then he took a steamed bun, broke it in half, put some pickles in it and ate it as a pickle bun.

I didn't leave after eating. I looked around and saw no one was outside. I secretly took out a can of fat house happy water and drank it. I shivered all over after taking a sip and let out a comfortable breath. It felt so good.

I drank it like a thief, then took two sips of warm water to rinse my mouth to get rid of the smell.

Then he took out a bag of original melon seeds, opened the outer packaging, put them in a bowl and went to his grandma's room.

When I went in, I saw that everyone was there.

"Hehua, wake up. The kitchen left some meat buns for you. Have you eaten them?"

Grandma is most concerned about the food and drink of her younger generations, and she asks about these things as soon as she meets them.

"I'm done eating, grandma, I'm cracking some melon seeds, what are you guys talking about?"

Su He put the melon seeds on the small table on the kang and sat next to it to eat them.

The ground was made of dirt and people didn't care about it. They would just spit sunflower seeds wherever they were eaten and then sweep it clean with a broom when they were done.

"Sister, we were wondering why grandpa hasn't come back yet. It's been four hours."

Miaomiao always likes to answer questions quickly, especially those about her sister. Su He smiled and held Miaomiao in her arms, feeding her melon seeds.

"You may have to queue up to get the stamp at the government office. I estimate that I can make it in time for dinner. My cousin's skills are already very good, so don't worry."

"Hehua, what are you going to plant on the 15 acres of land you bought? Let me see if we have enough seeds at home. If not, I'll borrow some from other families."

Grain seeds?

"Uncle, what are you planting in your fields?"

"Haha, we just planted wheat. We also planted some sweet potatoes, corn, and soybeans."

"that's it?"

Wang Fugui was very surprised by the question. "Yes, lotus. Most of the villages here grow these, as well as cotton. But not many people grow this. Those who have more land grow it. Our family grows high-yield crops on our 9 acres of land. Your uncle's family does the same."

Su He was also thinking of growing some glutinous rice, but it seems there is none here, so is there any rice either?

"Uncle, I haven't decided what to plant yet. It's still early. Wait for me for a few days before I decide."

Su He thought about going to the space to check some information. She had heard her grandmother talk about intercropping before, but she didn't know if it was suitable for the land and climate here.

"Uncle, I'm going to the Zhao residence to give the old lady a massage tomorrow. Is there anything you haven't bought at home? I'll bring it back with me."

Tomorrow is New Year's Day, but Su He still has to get up early and go to Zhao's house for a massage.

Su He never expected that he would travel back to ancient times and experience the happiness of a working man.

This kind of professionalism is rare in modern times.

Speaking of triple wages during holidays, I wonder if the Zhao family is aware of this.

Forget it, forget it, let’s stop daydreaming.

"There's nothing to buy. Go buy something if you want. They should still be open in the morning."

Wang Fugui never had this idea in previous years. His family would at most buy two kilograms of pork belly and fry it in oil to eat for a year. It would be a great thing to eat some pork lard during the New Year.

"Lotus, don't stay outside tomorrow. Come back early after leaving the house. Everyone is waiting for you to have the New Year's Eve dinner."

Sun added with a smile that this year's New Year was really fun, with many people, lots of food, all of which were brought by her baby Lotus.

"I understand, grandma. I......"

Su He was just about to go to Qian's shop again and buy some cakes to eat during the New Year if it was open.

There was shouting at the door, followed by the sound of banging on it.

Could it be that grandpa is back?

"Open the door. Why close the door in broad daylight? Where is Wang Fugui? Zhou Min, I am your relative."

Everyone in the room looked unhappy. Only Tietou was talking. "Grandma is here. Is mom back too?"

Tietou was so happy that he wanted to get off the bed and open the door.

"Iron Head, don't go yet."

Su He stretched out her hand to stop him. It was obvious that he was coming with bad intentions. What a coincidence that grandpa and the others had gone out, leaving only uncle in charge. There were not enough people, and there were old and young in the house. If they opened the door like this, they would suffer a loss.

"Mom, stay in the house and don't go out. I'll go meet them."

Wang Fugui was about to go out while talking, "Uncle, we are out of people now, you will definitely suffer if you go out alone. Grandpa and the others should be back soon. Do we have a ladder at home? I will climb up to see if they have returned."

Su He thought again that Lin Xiaozhao liked to take things back to her mother's house. Now the kitchen was full of meat, and it would be dangerous to just leave it there.

"Aunt, the kitchen is full of pork, eggs and lard."

Miaomiao is worthy of being Su He’s biological sister, the two of them think alike.

Miaomiao was very anxious. Su He always treated her as an adult and never hid anything from her, so she knew that the people outside must want to steal the meat.

Zhou slapped her head in anxiety. She had forgotten that her home was different now than before.

"What a sin! My flesh, Lotus, how about hiding it in your room?"

"Aunt, my house can't accommodate it either."

Su He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If these people outside really wanted to rob, it wouldn't matter where they hid.

"The ladder is in the utility room. I'll get it."

Wang Fugui and Zhou went to the kitchen, one to walk around while the other went to look for a ladder. Su He signaled the younger ones to stay and accompany Sun, and she also went out to look for a ladder.

Wang Fugui set up the ladder and was about to go up, but was stopped by Su He.

"Uncle, let me go up, you go help aunt."

Su He went up after a few tries. She had a telescope in her space, so she would take it out and use it when no one was around.

Wang Fugui didn't think much about it. It was common for them, the peasants, to climb mountains and trees. He didn't think it was strange that Su He wanted to climb up by himself.

Su He seized the opportunity to take out the telescope, using the clothes to cover it, and looked into the distance.

Willow Village looks a bit desolate from this perspective, with gray as the main color. I found the willow tree at the entrance of the village, but there was no one there. It seemed that grandpa and the others were still on the way.

Su He looked down in disappointment. The house next door was made of mud and thatched cottage. This house looked even poorer than her grandfather's.

Well, I'm cooking wild vegetable porridge, with a small pot of water and a handful of rice.

I saw that the woman in the kitchen was reluctant to put more dried wild vegetables. She grabbed a handful of dried wild vegetables and thought it was too much. She took some away and felt it was not enough. Her hesitant movements and her pale and thin face were the most common appearance of poor people.

This village seems a little too poor.

"Is there anyone here, Tietou! I'm your grandma, please open the door for me. You're keeping the in-laws out during Chinese New Year. This is how your Wang family treats guests! Where's Wang Bin? Where did he go? Our Xiao Zhao lost a lot by marrying you. I tell you that hiding in the door is useless."

It was New Year's Day, and the word death was the last thing to be mentioned, let alone involving one's own son. Zhou was shaking with anger in the kitchen, and was about to rush out to fight these people.

Su He frowned and put away the telescope, looking towards the door. The houses in ancient times were relatively short, and Su He could see clearly at a glance. There were four people standing at the door. The mean woman who was yelling at the door was probably my aunt's in-laws. There were two young men standing 170 cm tall with unfriendly eyes, and a middle-aged man with a similar face. These three were probably Lin Xiaozhao's father and brothers.

Where is Lin Xiaozhao?

Su He looked around and finally saw a head at the corner. Well, he found it.
