Her voice wasn't loud, and the villagers outside were too far away to hear her, but the family inside could hear it clearly.

Turning around, I saw many villagers wrapping the mutton, meat chunks, and large white steamed buns in large leaves and placing them on their sleeves and chests, while they themselves only ate the leftover cabbage and green bean soup with rice.

Su Bai frowned slightly, but simply waved her hand, "Whether they eat what's in their own bowls or save it to eat at home is their business, it's none of our concern."

Every family has elderly people and children. Even when she and her brothers were busy working outside, they would always try to bring back delicious food for Hua'er.

As long as the villagers don't eat it all and then put it back in the pot, it's their own business how much they take back.

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian unconsciously scratched the red bumps on her face and remained silent. Now, not only were her sister-in-law's fingers getting wider, but even her own fingers were getting thicker every day. If they didn't want to eat all this meat, they wouldn't have had to give so much to others. Even though it was delivered by a tiger, if they sold it, wouldn't it be a good source of money?

The villagers who came to work were all very conscientious. Those who had left meat and steamed buns only ate what was in their bowls and drank a bowl of beef bone soup. They didn't ask for more rice or vegetables. After all, the big bowl that the Su family had just served was full of real food, and they were already stuffed!

After eating and resting for a while, Da Mai's father led everyone to the neighboring territory. As they walked, he kept reminding them, "The Su family gives us so many copper coins every day and feeds us so well. We must do our work well and conscientiously. We can't let them down, understand?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately pounded their chests loudly.

"Don't worry, Dad. We're not heartless people. You don't even need to tell us. We'll make sure the Su family's courtyard is built quickly and well!"

“Yes, I, Zhang Laosan, have been building houses for people for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen such good food from a host. Just for this food, we can’t do anything dishonest!”

"The Su family has treated us well, so we should naturally live up to their kindness..."

Hearing these sounds, along with the continuous clatter of hoes, Su Bai's smile deepened. This must be what Hua'er meant by initiative. The house that she thought would take more than a month to build now seems to be able to be built much faster.

After lunch, the Su family rested for a while before Su Baishi, along with Zhaoshi and Qianshi, began preparing for tomorrow's spicy hot pot skewers. As for Su Hua, she led Su Erhu, Su Sanhu, and the three little ones, Su Dalang, to the new vegetable garden behind the house.

After learning that Su Hua wanted the villagers to cultivate vegetable plots, the three Su brothers began to cultivate the land around their houses. The results from yesterday and this morning have resulted in a new vegetable plot of about one acre.

This vegetable garden is a little distance from the hillside. Although it's not as nice as the front yard, it's still pretty good even without big trees to provide shade.

"Hua'er, how do we propagate these sweet potato vines? Can we just bury them in the ground?" Su Erhu and Su Sanhu each held a small half-basket of sweet potato vines, unsure of where to begin.

They had farmed and grown vegetables, working in the fields almost from the time they could walk. But whether it was rice, wheat, or vegetables, they all needed roots to survive. Now these vines were just small branches. If Hua'er hadn't said they could grow them, they really wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

Su Hua smiled and picked up a sweet potato vine to demonstrate. "It's very simple. Just insert the sweet potato vine at an angle downwards, five to ten centimeters deep, leaving two or three tender shoots on the vine outside the soil. Keep the distance between roots and rows about twenty centimeters. After all the cuttings are planted, water them."

After saying that, he bent down and planted about ten sweet potato vines.

"I see." The Su brothers nodded and prepared to each take a basket and get to work.

But when he looked up and saw the figure on the narrow path, his eyes suddenly darkened. "That ingrate, he's here again! Hasn't he had enough of a beating yet?"
