Chapter 56 The Shen Family's New House is Completed
Seeing his daughter's pale face, Su Chunlin hurriedly comforted her, "It's not as scary as your mother said, but the living conditions there are really not as good as ours. Isn't it that your cousin is getting married on June 6th, and you will also get married after the autumn harvest. You have to tell your aunt about such a big happy event."
Su Tai lowered her eyelids and said thoughtfully, "Dad, in this case, you have to bring more things with you when you go out."
Su Chunlin nodded hurriedly, "It's cold over there, I plan to bring some extra coats, and also send some food to your aunt."
As he said this, he secretly glanced at Han.
Su Tai was afraid that Han would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said, "Dad, this is what we should do. I'll help you prepare it. Go get some straw and we'll hide the food in the straw. Firstly, we won't be afraid of wind and rain, and secondly, we can prevent it from being robbed on the road."
Su Chunlin took Su Zhan and Su Ming to pull out the thatch.
Han glared at Su Tai unhappily, "Your mother hasn't said anything yet, but you're the one making the decisions!"
Su Tai smiled awkwardly and took Han's arm, saying coquettishly, "Mom, even if I didn't ask, you would still agree, right? Besides, I don't plan to use the food at home. Big Brother Shen helped me get a lot of food before, and I hid it all. Just take the food from me for Big Aunt."
Han was surprised, "When did Shen Yi give you food? Where did you hide it?"
Su Tai shook her head like a rattle, "This is my secret, I won't tell you!"
Now that the house has grown bigger, it is impossible for Han to go to every room. Moreover, there are many things to do at home. Han rarely even goes into her room. She has no idea what is in her room. This is why she dares to lie.
Su Yu stepped forward to help Su Tai out of the embarrassment, "Aunt, I heard from my father before that my grandfather and grandmother passed away early, leaving my aunt, my father and my uncle to depend on each other. My aunt married far away to support my father and my uncle. Since Xiao Tai wants to send food to my aunt's family, I have to express my opinion. I only have some money on me, so I will give some money!"
"You guys..." Han looked at Su Yu and then at Su Tai, her eyes red with emotion, she couldn't help laughing, "Okay! As long as you are happy, I will go into the mountains to get some wild vegetables, and then let your father bring them over. I don't know if they can be kept for so many days."
Han talked a lot.
Ruan Xiaoyu immediately went to get the rattan basket and accompanied Han into the mountains.
Su Yu went back to the house to prepare money, and Su Tai also went back to the room to take out the wheat and flour stored in the Space-Time Gate Transfer Station.
More than a thousand kilograms of white flour were ground before, and there are still about a thousand kilograms left for consumption. There are also about a hundred kilograms of wheat, which were originally kept for backup, but now they can all be taken out.
Adding another four hundred kilograms of flour would be enough. After all, the ox cart would also have to be piled with thatch, wild vegetables and Su Chunlin's luggage, and it would be difficult to travel fast if there were too much.
When Su Tai moved the grain out, Su Chunlin had already brought back a large bundle of straw and was laying it on the ox cart.
Su Tai asked him to help move the food upstairs.
Su Chunlin was shocked. "Girl, how did you get so much food? Your mother will be so angry if she finds out!"
Su Tai made a gesture to keep quiet, "Dad, hurry up, let's get the food up there first and then cover it up and tie it up tightly. Even if my mom comes back and sees it, she can't take it down and check it again, right?"
Su Chunlin's face frightened, he gave Su Tai a thumbs up, and without any further ado, he immediately stepped forward and started to work.
When Han got home, she found a pile of thatch on the ox cart, tied tightly with hemp ropes. It was impossible to tell that there was any food hidden inside. She couldn't help but praise it a few words.
Su Chunlin almost let the cat out of the bag, but was stopped by Su Tai in time.
After Han's wild vegetables were piled up, Su Chunlin's luggage was also placed on top, along with some miscellaneous things. People who didn't know the truth would not think much about it.
After everything was ready, Su Chunlin set off in a ox cart.
As soon as he left, Su Zhan and Su Ming started to do the work in the fields. With Su Zhan leading the way, Su Ming didn't dare to be lazy at all.
Han has been counting the days on her fingers since Su Chunlin left. In less than three days, she started asking when Su Chunlin would come back, looking absent-minded.
At this moment, Shen Yi came to the door.
Han then became more spirited.
Shen Yi handed the pheasant he brought to Han and said, "Aunt, my house has been completed. I came here this time to let my uncle and sister Xiaotai take a look. If there is anything they are not satisfied with, they can change it immediately."
"Oh! How come you are so thoughtful? It's a pity that your uncle has gone on a long trip and Xiaotai is the only one at home. How about I let Xiaotai and his brother go back with you to visit?" Han asked.
Shen Yi nodded with a smile, "That's fine, I came here by donkey cart, and I can go back and forth in one day."
Han was even happier. "Okay, Auntie, call Ming back to accompany his sister."
On the way to Shenjiazhuang, Su Ming was like a curious baby, asking questions here and there, and in a blink of an eye the three of them arrived at Shen Yi's house.
Shen Yi put the ox cart where the fishing boat was before, and Su Tai asked hurriedly: "Where is the boat?"
Shen Yi turned around and smiled at her, and said a little nervously: "I will launch the boat after the water level of Daxun River rises. After the busy farming season, I will pull people across the river when I have nothing to do. I can earn a few cents a day."
No one likes people who cross the river, and he was afraid that Su Tai would dislike him.
Su Tai looked as if she had suddenly realized something, and excitedly grabbed Shen Yi's hand, "Can you take me on a boat ride?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, two suspicious blushes appeared on his stern face, and he nodded quickly, "Whenever you want to go, I will take you there, and I can also take you to Dahe Town for a walk."
"Okay!" Su Tai looked expectant.
Shen Yi heaved a sigh of relief for no reason and became even happier.
Su Ming on the side couldn't wait any longer, "Brother Shen, don't you want to see the new house? Where is it?"
Shen Yi quickly took them out.
The new house is not far from the old house and it is convenient to go into the mountains. The location is very similar to that of the Su family.
Su Tai nodded with satisfaction after just one glance.
Shen Yi took out the key and opened the gate. What he saw was a yard that was even larger than the Su family's. The main hall was also larger than the Su family's. There was a side room on each side, and a back room at the back. There was a row of four connected rooms on each side of the side rooms, and the layout was exactly the same as the Su family's.
Even the one in the backyard was the same, the only difference was that Shen Yi built the room a little bigger.
After looking at the house, Su Ming shouted excitedly: "Brother Shen, your house is exactly the same as mine."
Shen Yi smiled and touched his head, "It's not exactly the same, just follow me."
Then Shen Yi led them around to the back of the kitchen, and Su Tai discovered that there was actually a small door there.
Pushing open the small door, there is a square open space surrounded by a wall. There is nothing inside, and there is another door inside.
Shen Yi explained: "I haven't decided what to do here yet. I can dig a well and grow vegetables, or raise chickens and ducks. The area beyond is dedicated to raising livestock. Currently, I've only built a few straw sheds, and the donkey at home will be raised there in the future."
