Su Qingxue went outside and brought in a basin of water. As for the child's question about whether there were grapes in this season, she pretended not to hear it.

If it were at this time, in this season, there would definitely be no grapes, unless they were dried goods, but those were in my own space. As long as I could get seeds in the space, there would definitely be no shortage of most fruits.

I washed their hands and faces at the same time. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I felt that their faces looked whiter and tenderer.

I was thinking: Is it because I didn’t wash their faces cleanly enough on a regular basis?

Would it make such a big difference if I washed it now?

In the end, I felt that it was impossible. I usually wash them very clean. It must be because the weather has turned cooler in the past two days and I haven't been outside much, so they have become white from being covered in sweat at home.

Yes, that is absolutely the reason.

In the evening, after Sun Rui and Zhou Huaian came back, Su Qingxue talked to Sun Rui and the letter was sent out.

Sun Rui used to be a very gentle man, and it was hard to imagine him with a smile on his face. But now he has a smile on his face every day, which really ruins his image. Although he looks good with a smile, there is a sense of stupidity in him.

Maybe Sun's father and mother were particularly happy that their son was finally going to get married, so they replied to the letter very quickly, and received the reply half a month later.

Along with the reply letter, there was also a large package and a big red envelope. Su Qingxue only took a look at the thickness of the red envelope when Sun Rui opened the package, and did not pay too much attention to the rest.

Anyway, judging from the thickness of the red envelope, there must be at least four or five hundred yuan in it, and judging from its shape, there should also be various bills. I don't know the details because I haven't seen it.

On the third day after receiving the letter, Sun Rui asked Zhou Huaian for leave, asked the team leader to act as a matchmaker, and went to the educated youth site to settle the marriage.

Su Qingxue and the captain's wife cooked at home. After all, it was settled that they had to take care of the lunch, which was considered their engagement dinner.

But he was able to take out all kinds of good things in the space and cook a table of particularly high-end meals, including chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Even Aunt Guilan said that Su Qingxue was generous enough to prepare such a delicious meal.

Su Qingxue smiled and said that it was as she should be. Sun Luerui and her Huai'an were best brothers, and she treated him as her brother-in-law. It was just some food, not a big deal.

While eating, Su Qingxue finally took a close look at Bai Jie. She could only say that Sun Rui had a very good taste. She just looked a little childish, with a baby face. She looked very cute. She would still be cute when she was in her thirties or forties. However, she was very good at treating people and serving things.

Su Qingxue didn't expect that Sun Rui actually liked this kind of person. No wonder he was not attracted by the female educated youth who came here before, no matter how beautiful they were. It turns out that their aesthetic tastes are different!

Su Qingxue and Bai Jie talked to each other for a while. Generally speaking, there was no need to worry about the two of them not getting along. They could live their own lives and should be able to become good friends.

Today was their engagement day, and Sun Rui was very generous and gave out the betrothal gift directly. Su Qingxue also saw the specific number, 666 yuan.

This is going to be a great luck!

The team leader and Aunt Guilan were both shocked. They didn't expect that the bride price for marrying a wife in the city would be so expensive. It was nowhere near like in the countryside where it was only about 30 or 40 yuan at most, and that was still relatively expensive. The ordinary ones might only be about 10 yuan.

Aunt Guilan just kept saying to herself, I can’t afford to marry a girl from the city, I can’t afford to marry one!

Originally, her family had a younger son who had not yet married, and she wanted to introduce Wang Xue Xiaomei, who was working at the educated youth camp, to her younger son. After all, Wang Xiaomei had no partner and had a job, so this was the best marriage she could find for her son.

But Wang Xuemei never had the idea of finding a partner, so it was delayed.

Now it seems that her son may not be able to afford to get married, and she began to hesitate, because she thought of Wang Xiaomei's job. Even if the gift price is a little more, it is just two years' salary for a job.

What's more, the money Wang Xiaomei earns in the future will belong to my youngest son and his wife, so it's not impossible for him to marry her.

Aunt Guilan thought too much of the other educated youth. Except for a few who came from well-off families, most families probably only had a hundred or so yuan to live on.

It just so happens that most of the educated youth assigned to this place come from well-off families. In the final analysis, the conditions in this local area are better. Otherwise, these well-off educated youth would not come here, which is why the marriage gifts for the educated youth seem too high.

The engagement banquet was over, the autumn harvest was over, and the grain was distributed. Everyone ran to the mountains and started collecting various mountain products.

Su Qingxue really wanted to go. Although there were mountain products in the space, she would feel it was a pity if she didn't collect some. She just liked the feeling of stockpiling.

Although I can’t go to the mountains, the jujube trees at home are ripe.

Picking a few red dates from the jujube trees at home can be considered as picking mountain products, and I can satisfy my addiction to picking mountain products.

Taking advantage of the last bit of sunshine before the snow falls, all the picked red dates are hung out to dry in the yard.

When picking red dates, a lot of people came to watch. Although other people's families also planted them, they did not plant as many as Su Qingxue's family. In addition, red dates are considered a delicacy in the countryside, so seeing those baskets of red dates really made others envious.

Many aunts used mountain products picked from the mountains to exchange for red dates with Su Qingxue. Perhaps they did not see Su Qingxue go up the mountain, so they all thought that her family had no mountain products.

She still exchanged her red dates at a ratio of 2:1. Whenever someone came to exchange, Su Qingxue would exchange some for them.

Anyway, as long as he has jujube seeds, he can ripen jujubes anytime and anywhere.

Even if more than half of it was exchanged with other people, there would be about 200 kilograms left. However, after drying, there would definitely not be that much. It would be very good to have about 100 kilograms.

While Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui didn't know that he had exchanged the red dates, he directly ripened several of them and put some of them back in when he put them out to dry every day.

I also kept some fresh ones and put them in my space, especially the red dates that I ripened myself. They are really delicious. When I have nothing to do, I just grab a handful of them. Even fresh red dates have the effect of replenishing blood.

Several children were not spared. They put a handful of red dates in their pockets every day and took them with them even when they went out to play. They would just take them out and eat them whenever they wanted.

However, the seeds of the red dates for the three little girls were all removed. After all, they are still too young, and I don’t feel comfortable letting them eat things with seeds.
