The episode at Lihuayuan did not affect Su He's mood at all. She was mentally prepared for it.

The two of them stayed at the market as usual. Su He went to buy some rice, flour and cakes, while Shunzi went to find the well digger to pay the deposit.

After the work was done, the two of them went home.

For the next half month, Su He was busy revising the drawings, recruiting workers, and building the house. It wouldn't have started so early, but the Qingshan family next door were like a race, one after another, and she got anxious seeing it, so she just started the construction as well.

Most of the people recruited were from Liushu Village. All those who could come from Dali's and Goudan's families came, even the half-grown Goudan Suhe was wanted.

The workers in Suhebao have three meals a day, and each person has one cabbage and meat bun for each meal, and the rest is mixed flour buns with pickles to fill them up.

The workers who applied for the job were all excited. The food was better than what they had at home during the Spring Festival. Not only were they well fed and well-fed, but they also received 15 wen a day. Even the landlords' houses were not that good.

Goudan's mother and Goudan were responsible for cooking, and the two of them could earn 20 wen a day. Not only could they earn money, but the eggs at home also benefited from it. Su He was very generous and gave them extra food every day, so that they could give some of the leftover steamed buns to the eggs at home. After half a month, the whole family gained weight.

Everyone knew that they had met a kind-hearted family, so they worked very hard and the project that was originally expected to take a month was completed in just half a month.

Su He felt embarrassed. She thought these people were honest and helped her save wages.

On the last day of work, Su He went to the market to buy meat and chicken, and prepared four meat dishes to entertain everyone.

Sour pork, chicken soup, stir-fried cabbage with meat, stir-fried shredded radish with meat.

The staple food was still mixed flour steamed buns, which were enough to fill you up. The rest was shared among the people at the table and they could take some home.

Su He is now famous in Liushu Village. To be more precise, he is the most famous person besides the village chief.

"Fugui Dad, your Lotus is so generous. The food is so good that we feel guilty eating it."

The person who was speaking was Grandpa Goudan. He was also recruited to build the house and was also paid 15 cents. This man worked harder than anyone else and would criticize others if they did not do a good job. He was trying hard to show his family's strength in front of Su He so that Su He would feel at ease to rent the land to them.

The family that earned the most this time was Goudan's. Goudan's grandfather, his parents, and Goudan received 50 cents a day as wages for 15 consecutive days.

There are 750 coins here. In the past half month, all nine people in the family have been well fed. Goudan and Yadan have actually grown taller. Now Su He's status in Goudan's family is even higher, and he is once on par with the village chief.

On the second day after the house was built, Su He put the purchased things in it. The well was not far from the entrance and also close to the kitchen, so it was quite convenient.

Mu Tou and Miao Miao were running around excitedly, and they were taking their friends to visit their houses.

"Tiantian, are you moving in today? Look at my quilt, it has flowers on it, it's really pretty, we can cover it together."

Miaomiao pulled Tiantian to show off her new quilt, which Suhe made specially when he heard that they wanted to sleep together.

Tiantian is a little taller than Miaomiao and inherited the excellent genes of the Wang family. She has big eyes, a high nose bridge and a cherry mouth. Ignoring her yellow complexion, she is a typical classical little beauty who will be even more charming when she grows up.

"Mom said it would take a few days. Miaomiao, your quilt is so beautiful."

Tiantian touched Miaomiao's new quilt with envy. She knew that her family was poor, and it was good enough for her to have enough food and clothes now. After she learned embroidery from her mother, she would buy such a beautiful quilt when she earned money in the future.

Although Miaomiao has single eyelids, her eyes are not small. She has not been working and has been eating well these days, so her skin has become much whiter. Every time she smiles, her eyes become crescents, which looks very cute.

Seeing Tiantian's envious eyes, he shook his head proudly and said, "Sister made this especially for me. Brother doesn't have it. Tiantian, if you sleep with me, I will give you half of the blanket. It's filled with new cotton and is very warm."

"Well, I'll tell Mom when I get home."

Tiantian nodded heavily, as if she had made a great decision.

The two little guys happily leaned on the quilt and whispered to each other.

Mu Tou also showed off the Iron Head in his room.

"This is the paper and pen my sister prepared for me. She said I can't use them now. At first I can only use the brush dipped in water to write on the ground. I can only use paper when I'm qualified."

"Tietou, my sister also bought you a brush. When I learn how to write, I will teach you, and we can write together. My sister said that if you can read, you can go to the county to find a job, and you don't have to farm anymore.

Tietou was extremely envious and whispered to Mu Tou, "Mu Tou, do you think my mother will come back if I learn a lot of characters? No one likes her, but if she doesn't come back, I will be without a mother."

Mu Tou actually knows more than Tietou. Su He even treats Miaomiao as an adult, let alone Mu Tou.

He knew that his cousin's wife would come back sooner or later.

"Don't worry, your mother will definitely come back. She will be happier when you can read. We all need to work hard."

After hearing what his good friend said, Tietou believed it, and the two of them happily studied the brushes and rice paper.

Su He walked around without disturbing the four little ones, and went to her grandmother's room to discuss the dinner. There would be a banquet at the new house tonight, and both her uncle and her uncle's grandfather would come.

Su He's kitchen is particularly large. She even specially ordered two long tables that can seat ten people on each side. Even with more than 20 people in the family sitting down, it still seems empty.

In the room, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Jin were chatting. Yanzhi sat obediently beside them and sewed clothes for Tiantian. The material was exactly what Mrs. Zhou bought years ago.

When Sun saw Su He, she sighed, "He Hua, grandma can't bear to see you move away."

Su He has heard this every day since he started building the house, and he is no longer surprised by it.

"Grandma, don't be reluctant. I'm not getting married. Just call me and I'll come over. I'll stay with you for a long time."

Sun was so frightened by Su He's words that all her sadness disappeared.

"How can you not get married? Who will take care of you in your old age? Who will you rely on?"

"Can you be reliable once you marry someone? In this world, only you and your money are the most reliable. Everything else will change."

When the people present saw Su He's serious look, they forgot to refute for a moment.

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Su He quickly changed the subject.

"Aunts, I spent a lot of money on today's beam-raising banquet. I'll leave it to the two chefs tonight."

Zhou quickly replied, "Don't worry, go to sleep for a while, and when you wake up, just eat the ready-made food. You must be exhausted these days."

"Yes, Lotus, you can go and have some rest. In fact, I think you should stay a few more days. The new house needs some fresh air, and the paint hasn't dried yet."

Jin followed suit.

Su He nodded with a smile. After hearing what her two aunts said, she felt tired.

"Okay then, aunts, I'm going to sleep now, don't call me for lunch."

Su He didn't stay long. He went into his room, closed the door and went to sleep.
