Chapter 48 Visitors on a Snowy Night
Han was still confused, but Su Tai didn't give her a chance to ask more questions. She just opened the package she brought back and said, "Mom and Dad, I bought new clothes for everyone, including Big Brother Shen."
Chen Yi's pupils trembled, and he looked at Su Tai fiercely, the shock in his eyes had not yet completely disappeared, "For me?"
Su Tai nodded as a matter of course, "You've helped me so much, what's wrong with me buying you new clothes?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly revealed a bright smile, looking expectantly at his own package.
Su Chunlin had already opened it, took it out and tried it on Shen Yi, praising him nonstop, "My daughter has a really good taste! It's not too big or too small, and there's a little extra, it fits her perfectly!"
As he said this, he quickly handed Shen Yi's clothes to him, and happily opened his own package, showing off his clothes in front of everyone, praising him non-stop, "Look how filial my daughter is, she even knows to buy clothes for her parents!"
Han, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing. She turned around and took out two packages from the side, saying, "Mother didn't buy ready-made clothes, but she bought some fabrics. I originally wanted to make clothes for you when I got home, but now I'm saving money."
Everyone burst into laughter at the same time.
Su Ming was thinking about the meat buns.
Su Tai immediately opened the buns and gave one to everyone, and there was still one portion for Shen Yi.
At this moment, the bun in Shen Yi's mouth seemed to be the most delicious food in the world.
After the group had eaten and drunk well, Shen Yi looked at Su Chunlin, "Uncle, I have bought the grain seeds, peanuts and soybeans, and will deliver them to your house later."
"Ah! So fast!" Su Chunlin stood up suddenly, "Come on, come on, uncle will go and help."
Su Tai hurriedly said, "Dad, don't worry, we'll talk later."
The two exchanged glances and left tacitly.
After a while, Su Tai came back alone and called Su Chunlin and the others to go back.
The family exclaimed again when they saw the cart full of sacks.
Over there, Shen Yi also drove a donkey cart over to join them, and the donkey cart was full of grain seeds.
The group returned to Dongmen Village with great difficulty, all exhausted.
When Su Tai was helping to clean up, she found out that Su Chunlin and his wife had left alone and bought more than ten pounds of pork. No wonder the things were so heavy!
It was impossible to transport so much grain in one trip. Su Chunlin wanted to help, but Shen Yi took Su Tai away.
Su Tai sat on the donkey cart, looking at everything in wonder, "Did you buy this?"
Shen Yi nodded, "Building a house requires a lot of stones and wood. I can't move them all by myself. With this, things will be much easier. Where are we going now?"
Su Tai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the town, hire two ox carts, and do another trip and we'll be done."
After the two of them discussed it, they quickly brought all the seeds back to the Su family.
Before Shen Yi left, Su Tai left him a lot of food, which was prepared for his second aunt's family.
Shen Yi was deeply moved, and was reluctant to take his eyes off Su Tai before leaving.
Su Chunlin and Han were busy moving things and didn't notice the hidden feelings between the two at all.
The next day, Su Chunlin delivered the seeds that the Han family wanted, and then he found Su Changxi and gave him the remaining seeds in the house.
Su Changxi did not show favoritism, but instead notified every household and asked everyone to exchange grain seeds for grain seeds. As for soybeans and peanuts, those who were willing to plant them could pay to buy them.
Everyone had seen with their own eyes that Su Chunlin's family made a fortune growing these things, and they all rushed to get them, not wanting to miss out even if it meant selling everything they had.
Every household bought some more or less. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Changxi brought the money from selling seeds.
After Su Chunlin collected the money, he took the large bag of copper coins and silver that was so heavy that he could hardly lift it to the town, exchanged it for 115 taels of silver, and hurriedly delivered it to Shenjiazhuang.
Shen Yi prepared some mountain products for Su Chunlin to take away, and hid the silver in them. After a circle, it returned to Su Tai's hands.
Now she has more than one hundred taels in her hand.
As the saying goes, if you have money in your hands, you will never be worried. She can finally live a peaceful life.
On New Year's Eve, Han took Ruan Xiaoyu out to make sticky rice cakes early in the morning, while Su Tai took on the job of steaming buns.
After all, it was the New Year, and Han was generous for once and prepared two kilograms of white flour for Su Tai.
Su Tai took a look and gave a helpless smile. Each person could only eat two or three steamed buns made from two kilograms of white flour. It was rare to steam them, and it was winter, so they could be stored. She directly took out ten kilograms of white flour from the transfer station of the Time and Space Gate.
The flour was placed in a basin to ferment. In order to shorten the fermentation time, she even placed a wooden basin on the stove mouth.
Before Han and Ruan Xiaoyu finished making the sticky rice cake, the flour had already fermented.
Su Ming couldn't stop thinking about the meat buns he ate last time. There was meat at home, so she cut two pounds of meat and chopped it into minced meat. She then dug two unripe cabbages from the land in the Earth Time and Space and steamed a pot of big buns stuffed with cabbage and pork. She used the rest to make steamed buns.
Before Han entered the house, she smelled the strong aroma of buns. She looked at Ruan Xiaoyu and hurried into the kitchen carrying a wicker basket on her back.
"What are you doing?"
Han's eyes fell on the steamed buns, her mouth formed an "O" shape, and her voice suddenly rose, "Girl! How much white flour did you use?"
Su Tai turned her head and smiled sweetly at the two of them, "Mom, it's New Year's Day, make more so that everyone can have a good meal. Don't worry, I asked Brother Shen to buy them for me. I didn't use any food from our warehouse."
"You always talk about your big brother Shen. Shen Yi really spoils you!" Han pretended to be angry and complained, but she was more secretly happy in her heart. Her daughter was so unsure of how to manage her life that only Shen Yi could indulge her. If it were another family with parents-in-law above her, she would probably be drowned in saliva.
Because Han didn't care, Su Tai became bolder. After noon, she started to drag Ruan Xiaoyu to the kitchen to make white flour noodles.
If steamed buns are the ceiling of food for poor families, then white flour noodles are the food they dare not even think about. After all, steamed buns are fermented and can make more food, while a bowl of noodles requires a lot of flour and does not fill them up.
Ruan Xiaoyu was terrified watching from the side, wanting to say something but hesitant, but she never dared to open her mouth to dissuade them.
By the time Han found out, the noodles had already been cut and all that was left was to put them into the water.
Due to Su Chunlin and his friends' jokes, Han had no time to pursue the matter.
In the evening, the whole family sat together to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner. Everyone had a big bowl of pork noodles in front of them, and in the middle was a big pot of steamed buns.
Su Zhan and Su Ming were drooling as they watched, waiting eagerly for Su Chunlin to speak.
Su Chunlin couldn't bear it anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Eat!"
Everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the yard, "Chunlin, open the door!"
Su Chunlin stretched his head, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and ran out. He exclaimed outside, "Brother! You are really back!"
Han followed him out and helped move the things into the main room.
Su Chunsen and Su Chuan looked at the new house and nodded uncontrollably.
