Chapter 32 Uncle's Family
The two sides talked for a long time, and when it was completely dark, Su Yu and Su Chuan returned to serve their master. Su Chunsen was a groom, and there was usually nothing to do at this hour, so he took Su Chunlin and his daughter to find an inn to stay.
The next day, Su Chunsen came over at dawn.
"Chunlin, I have prepared all the food you requested and put it at the back door of the inn. A team of escorts from the Chenshi Escort Agency will be traveling far away and will pass through Moshi Town. You can order an ox cart to follow them to avoid any problems on the road."
Su Chunlin had just woken up and his mind was still dazed. Hearing this, he subconsciously took out all the money from his pocket and said, "Brother, these are all my belongings. I give them all to you."
Su Chunsen pushed the things back impatiently, "I don't need your little money, hurry up and pack up and leave."
Su Chunsen looked at Su Tai beside him and immediately became amiable. "Xiao Tai, your cousins have to work and can't come. They asked me to bring some things to you and your siblings."
Su Chunsen handed over two large bundles, and Su Tai quickly took them. "Uncle, these are..."
Su Chunsen pointed at the pink bundle and said, "This is for you. Inside are some clothes that your cousin can no longer wear. Some of them are about 70% new, and there are some hair ornaments for little girls."
"This is too expensive!" Su Tai was a little frightened.
Su Chunlin also refused, "Country kids can't wear such fine material, so give it back to Xiaoyu."
Su Chunsen glared at him immediately, "What are you returning? The Bai family makes clothes for the servants all year round. Xiaoyu is still the eldest lady's maid, and she has four new clothes every season, with two different patterns. She has a lot of clothes, and she saved the ones she couldn't wear in previous years. Now it's just right to give them all to Xiaotai."
Su Tai is one or two years younger than Su Yu, but much thinner than Su Yu. She can wear all the old clothes that Su Yu had saved.
Su Chunlin was already afraid of his elder brother, and when Su Chunsen's expression changed, he immediately fell silent.
The father and daughter followed the escort team with bags and a cart of wheat seeds. On the way, they encountered some malicious followers. Fortunately, Su Chunlin took the initiative to talk to the escort team members, thus avoiding the crisis. When they arrived at Moshi Town, they did not dare to stay and took the wheat seeds home in one breath.
Han's heart finally settled when she saw the wheat seeds, but she became depressed again after looking at them. "Dad, I think these wheat seeds are not full enough. I don't know if they can produce a good harvest."
Su Chunlin sighed, "I got this with the help of my elder brother, and he didn't ask me for money, so let's not be picky, let's just get through this year first."
When Su Tai heard this, she immediately went to Mu Shi Kong to buy seeds. "Boss, I want to ask how much the wheat seeds in your store are?"
Upon hearing this, the boss raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much do you want?"
Su Tai conservatively estimated, "Two hundred kilograms."
The boss' eyes lit up, and he immediately started to introduce enthusiastically, "I have no less than 20 or 30 kinds of wheat here. Some are suitable for the relatively dry north, some are suitable for high-altitude planting, and there are even varieties with strong drought resistance. These wheats also have different tastes."
The boss explained for a while and finally selected the most suitable one according to Su Tai's requirements. One kilogram of grain costs eight yuan.
Su Tai didn't have that much money, so she had no choice but to go back first. After thinking for a while, she walked out of the room and asked Han and Su Chunlin, "Mom and Dad, when I was in the county, I heard from the city people that soaking wheat seeds and sowing them can increase the harvest. How about we give it a try?"
"Will this work?" Han looked doubtful and undecided.
Su Chunlin looked at these poor quality wheat seeds and said through gritted teeth, "Take some and try it first! Let's go get some water!"
The couple quickly called their two sons over to help.
While they were out, Su Tai took all the wheat seeds into the Space-Time Gate Transfer Station and sold them to the automatic trading cabinet. The automatic trading cabinet gave a price of four yuan per catty, and 160 catties of wheat seeds were sold for 640 coins. Together with the 200 coins she had just earned and the previous balance, the total was just over 1,000 coins, which was still a little short.
Su Tai had no choice but to sell two more sets of clothes and bargain with the seed shop owner, and only then could she collect enough 160 kilograms of wheat seeds.
Not long after she got the wheat out, Su Chunlin and others came back carrying water.
In order to prevent Han from discovering the clues, Su Tai considerately let them take a rest and took over all the work of soaking the seeds.
Han took a breath and came over to take a look. She shouted in surprise, "Dad, how come the wheat seeds have grown bigger? Could it be that they have absorbed water?"
Su Chunlin nodded repeatedly, "Of course!"
It was already dark and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
After the wheat seeds in the pot really sprouted, the two completely believed Su Tai's words.
Hurry up and start spring ploughing.
Su Tai thought of Chen Yi, and wondered how he was doing.
Just at this time Su Changfu came to the door.
"I heard that your family has started sowing!" Su Changfu sat down with an enviable look on his face.
Su Chunlin was very tired after a busy day, but he smiled and said modestly: "Luckily my eldest brother helped me, otherwise I don't know what my family would do!"
Su Changfu nodded and sighed, "You don't have to worry about your family. I'm really pissed off by those bastards in Ximen Village. I have to go to Shenjiazhuang tomorrow."
Speaking of Ximen Village, Su Chunlin's face immediately drooped, and he sneered unhappily, "Aren't they very capable? You don't need to worry about them!"
Su Changfu was speechless. "I really don't want to worry about it! But those careless people have been digging the well for more than half a month and didn't dig out a single hair. Gao Zhi, that old man, still has the nerve to ask me for help. Bah!"
"What? You really agreed?" Su Chunlin widened his eyes in disbelief.
Su Changfu was so worried that his hair turned a few white. "Can I really just ignore it? If someone really dies, I will also be responsible! But I am not easy to control. Before, Shen Yi helped them find a well digging site and they didn't pay a penny. This time, I will not indulge them and directly asked Gao Zhi for two taels of silver.
Tomorrow I will send these two taels of silver to Shen Yi, and then have a good talk with him to see if he can make another trip."
Su Tai hurriedly said, "Uncle, can you take me to find Shen Yi?"
"What do you want to do with him?" Su Chunlin asked subconsciously, feeling a little anxious.
Su Tai hurriedly explained, "Isn't it spring ploughing time? I don't know what the situation is over at Shenjiazhuang. Does Brother Shen have any grain seeds? I'll go and ask on behalf of our family. What's the matter?"
Su Chunlin was speechless and muttered, "Girls are really extroverts!"
Han came in, slapped Su Chunlin, and said to Su Tai, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. It's better to go and take a look. Shen Yi is the only one at home, and he may not be busy. You can go and help with some work."
Han was quite satisfied with her son-in-law Shen Yi, and she also hoped that Su Tai would behave more diligently so that she could be respected by her husband's family after she got married.
