His grandchildren can sing too!

This made Village Chief Liu so happy that he almost jumped for joy like a child!

Yes! Extremely proud!

I feel like I can stand up straight now!

His grandchildren are no less capable than others; they can do everything that other children can do!

Ha ha!

Reward them when we get back; they did a great job and made him proud!

The Mo family was unaware of the village chief's situation. When they heard the other children singing along, they exchanged glances and smiled in unison.

Is this one of the unique features of Changna Village?

After the Mo family finished harvesting that plot of land, they packed up their things and went home. There was still work to be done, so they decided to come out again in the afternoon when the sun wasn't so strong!

When others saw this, they thought that after the Mo family went back, the sun was really scorching!

Sweat poured down their faces, they could barely keep their eyes open, and their mouths were salty—it was so uncomfortable!

I wonder how the Mo family kids managed to sing for so long. Didn't the sweat get into their mouths and make them uncomfortable?

well!

I just don't understand the Mo family!

They have oxcarts and donkey carts to help transport things, big umbrellas to provide shade and coolness, and they even bring a lot of good food and drinks to the fields. When they rest, they gather together to eat and drink leisurely!

I was so envious, so jealous, I almost hated them!

But considering that the Mo family had already helped them a lot, it would be ungrateful to hate them, and if others found out, they would be despised!

It's best to do only what you're capable of. Don't have too many ideas about things that aren't within your capabilities, because thinking too much and comparing too much will only cause you pain!

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Looking at the village chief's house, it's the same as theirs. Hmm, I feel much better now!

The village chief wasn't stupid; he could easily read their eyes. He scoffed inwardly, "These bastards only know how well others are enjoying themselves. Why don't they pay attention to how much they've sacrificed behind the scenes?"

Thankfully, there wasn't any hatred involved, otherwise, we would have had to hold another meeting for ideological education!

The mute woman was right. The villagers' mindset needs to be improved from time to time. Little by little, it will accumulate and after a while, there will be a big change!

Oh, by the way, I need to visit the Mo family when I get back to discuss something!

After the Mo family returned home, they put down their things and found stools to sit and rest. Once they had recovered, they went back to doing what they were supposed to do.

There's plenty of work to do; nobody's going to be idle anyway.

But everyone knows that once this busy period is over and the busy farming season is over, things will be much more relaxed. There aren't many busy periods throughout the year!

It was too hot, so before dinner, Su Nanxi placed four wooden buckets filled with ice in the corner of the dining room. The buckets were covered with winnowing baskets, and the cold air could escape from the gaps.

When it's time to eat, the room cools down considerably, the temperature is just right, a pleasant coolness, so people won't lose their appetite or be unable to eat!

This practice has been going on for several days.

At first, everyone was very curious about where these ice blocks came from. The weather was so hot that even the largest ice blocks would melt. It seemed like there was nowhere in the house to hide these ice blocks!

Su Nanxi knew they would have questions, but she had already prepared her answer and wasn't afraid to ask!

When the Mo family built their house, Su Nanxi designed two cellars for storage. It's always good to have them in reserve, in case they come in handy someday!

And here it is, it can be used now!

One was specifically used to store food, and the other was never used. Su Nanxi said she used it, so no one used it anymore.

She turned another, smaller cellar into an ice cellar!

Anyway, what she said was that she was just trying it out, and she didn't expect it to actually work. She didn't even remember how she did it back then; she just messed around with it!

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this; what else could they say?

Su Su is really amazing!

You can make so many ice blocks just by messing around with them!

They knew that Su Su had never let them down and always surprised them!

You know, at this time of year, ice is a rare commodity. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy such large and numerous blocks of ice!

They can just be secretly happy!

Ultimately, what good will knowing do? Didn't Su Su say it was just a trial? I don't remember!

I'm sure Su Su was very anxious, as she hadn't remembered something so important!

They need more understanding and tolerance, plus praise and encouragement!

The fact that the Mo family has ice must not be revealed to outsiders; it would be a bad thing if word got out. It's better to enjoy it all by yourself than to get fat!

In this world, the problem is never scarcity, but inequality!

If outsiders find out, they'll definitely feel resentful, and might even hate the Mo family and cause them trouble!

So the Mo family kept it to themselves and kept quiet about the ice.

Unfortunately, the village chief showed up at our door during our meal!

"Wow! Your house is so cool! How come?" The village chief was so surprised when he entered that he forgot to take off his straw hat.

Mo Laoda brought over a stool and invited the village chief to sit down and have a meal together. The other members of the Mo family agreed, but the village chief said he had already eaten and refused to come closer to the table.

Finally, the village chief sat down to the side and watched the Mo family eat.

Su Nanxi was speechless. This village chief was really something else. He always chose to come at the time when they were eating. When they were called to eat, he would say that he had already eaten. Did he come just to watch them eat?

Sigh! I don't know whether I should say the village chief is too good at timing things!

Actually, the village chief was also wronged. He calculated that the Mo family should have finished eating by this time, so he came out of his house. But every time, his calculations were wrong, and he would just happen to run into the Mo family eating!

How embarrassing!

But he did eat there. Their family's meals were simpler, just one or two dishes, unlike the Mo family, who prepared so many dishes for one meal, which of course took longer!

"It's cooler in this room, probably because of its location and layout! The sun is blocked from the sides, so it's cooler. If you feel cool, stay a little longer!"

While eating, Old Mo turned around and talked to the village chief.

The village chief laughed and scolded, "You want me to stay longer so you can help you wash the pots and dishes, huh? You're a very cunning old man!"

Old Mo chuckled and said, "No, that's not true! I'm just thinking of you!"

After joking around for a while, the two got down to business.

The village chief came to ask about Liu Dashui's matter, well, the follow-up.

He felt a tightness in his chest and didn't want to let Liu Dashui off the hook, but he couldn't think of a good solution, which was very frustrating!

Finally, he thought of Su Nanxi and decided to ask her. For some reason, he felt that Su Nanxi would definitely have a solution!

They even stole from her house, she definitely couldn't swallow this insult. The fact that they didn't arrest Liu Dashui back then must mean they had a backup plan!

He came to sound him out and see how they would cooperate to severely punish Liu Dashui!

We must not encourage this unhealthy trend!

"Village chief, didn't you already have a solution?"
