Chapter 140 Picking up the Han family
"What nonsense are you talking about! This is processed from the sugar cane I grew myself. Would you like to soak some brown sugar in water and try it?" Su Tai said seductively like a wolf grandma.
Shen Yi decisively took some and licked it with his tongue, nodding seriously, "Sweet! Very, very sweet! Sweeter than caramel!"
Su Tai smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Replace the malt sugar in our pot helmets with brown sugar and it will be more fragrant. Do you believe it?"
"Believe it! My wife is like a god, I definitely believe it!" Shen Yi was still amazed.
The couple heard a noise while they were talking.
"Someone is coming!" Shen Yi turned around and walked out.
Su Tai quickly closed the box, locked the door of the warehouse and went out.
Seeing that the visitors were Ke Dasong's family, Su Tai was a little surprised and hurriedly invited them into the house, "Uncle, cousin, what are you..."
Ke Dasong stared at the flat ground and said cheerfully: "Your father bought you six sheep. We are going back and will deliver them to you by the way."
Su Tai was very grateful and immediately went to the kitchen to get them food.
We still have some dough and fillings at home, so we can bake some Guokui for them to use as dry food on the road.
Su Tai was busy in the kitchen house, and Shen Yi stayed with her in the main room, chatting with Ke Dasong and others about the situation outside.
Ke Dasong saw the exquisiteness and cleanliness of the Shen family, and his eyes were filled with envy, "It's better to live here. Although there are many houses in the town on the ice sheet, they are small and short, and not as comfortable as yours."
Shen Yi was puzzled, "Can't you cultivate bigger?"
Ke Zhengping shook his head, "It's windy and snowy on the ice field, and it's cold and freezing. The house should be smaller and tighter to keep warm. A house that is too big will be easily crushed by the heavy snow, and it's not warm enough. It won't work."
When we came over this time, we wanted to ask our cousin's husband if he could buy us some more quilts and jackets. The clothes would be comfortable to wear at home and we would not be afraid of waking up from the cold when we sleep. "
Shen Yi immediately agreed and went to the warehouse to move out four large quilts worth 20 kilograms. He made another trip and brought eight sets of large cotton-padded clothes and jackets.
"See if these are enough. If not, I will get them for you in a few days."
Everyone in the Ke family's eyes lit up when they saw something.
Ke Dasong nodded hurriedly, "Enough! There are only six people in our family. Three quilts are enough. The remaining one is taken home and kept carefully. It can also be put to use in the future. The same goes for cotton jackets and trousers. Not too much!”
Su Tai, who came in with a pot helmet, heard this and said to Shen Yi: "There is still some thick cotton cloth in the warehouse, and I will also prepare some for my uncle and the others. It will be excellent for making clothes and diapers for the baby in the future."
When she said this, brother Ke Zhengliang was not polite and asked Shen Yi for more.
Of course, money is definitely indispensable.
Shen Yi couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept.
Originally, Shen Yi wanted to keep them here for a while, but Ke Dasong was anxious to go back, so he had no choice but to give up.
Before leaving, Su Tai packed twenty kilograms of brown sugar for them and gave it to the Ye Chunhua sisters.
"Cousin, this is brown sugar, which is very good for women. If you are in confinement, you can use brown sugar to make sweet soup to replenish your body. You can take it back and try it. If you want to, tell me again."
"Thank you, cousin!" Sister Ye Chunhua thanked her sincerely, carefully tied the things on the cart, and then left with the Ke family and his son. In the next eight days, Su Tai went to work at the Gate of Time and Space as soon as she opened her eyes. She spent 3,000 virtual coins renting a sugar machine to process all the sugar cane into brown sugar, which totaled 7,500 kilograms.
Then she rented a sugar machine again to process 1,500 kilograms of brown sugar into 800 kilograms of white sugar.
This amount of brown sugar and white sugar is enough for them to consume until the next sugarcane harvest. At the end of the year, they can also use some of it to give away favors and do business, which has many benefits.
After this trip, Su Tai settled the employment expenses of the gopher, so that she would not have to enter the earth again in a short period of time.
But not having to enter time and space doesn't mean she can rest.
The more than 30 acres of land at home still need to be cultivated after the autumn harvest. Huang Xinghua and her team have set fire to all the wheat straw, hay and weeds in the field. In order to ensure that the fields have enough fertility next year, they will start to fertilize the fields now. This will save you a lot of things.
The sheep dung, chicken dung, and cow dung saved at home were not much, and even if they were sprinkled in the grape fields, there wouldn't be much left. She had to fish them out of the lake in the water space.
Now that she has a big belly, she can't work so neatly. She can only use media tools, and all the hard work has to be done by Shen Yi.
By the time all the fields have been fertilized, it's already mid-October. Counting the days, it's almost time for the sage moss to grow.
Shen Yi's eyelids have been twitching these days and he always feels uneasy.
Really unable to sit still, he simply asked Chenxiang to stay with Su Tai for a long time. He drove the donkey cart to Dongmen Village and invited Han over.
When Mrs. Han entered the village, she happened to meet Mrs. Xu, and secretly complained to Mrs. Xu: "There are still about ten days left for Xiaomo's due date, and Shen Yi can't wait. I have to come over early to watch. It's not possible without an elder in this family. "
Ms. Xu was convinced, "That's not true! If our family hadn't been too busy with farm work, I would have definitely gone over and kept an eye on the young couple."
"What? You haven't finished your farm work yet? It's going to snow in a few days. You have to hurry up!" Han looked at the sky covered with dark clouds and thought that the weather would change tonight. No wonder Shen Yi would be so anxious.
Mrs. Xu sighed repeatedly, "There's nothing I can do. The stall is too big and there are only four of us. It's too busy for just four people. We're not as willing to spend money as Ayi and the others. We have to do everything by ourselves, but it's going to be slow!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words before they separated.
The donkey cart was getting closer and closer to the high courtyard wall. The more things Han saw, the more something was wrong. She couldn't help but said, "Son-in-law, why is your house so different from the one I saw last time?"
Shen Yi smiled and looked calm, "It's a little different. I'm often away from home, and Xiaomo is alone at home. I don't feel at ease, so I built the courtyard wall high and raised three dogs."
"Eh? That's not right! The land next to your house has been bought? And it's still right next to you!" Han's eyes widened when he saw the structure of the yard clearly.
Shen Yi suddenly said, "No, I bought that. Xiao Tai likes to be clean. People making pot helmets at home are very noisy. It will be even more chaotic when we have children. For their consideration, I bought the land next door. Come down, my father-in-law and the others came over to help me install the beams and deal with the inside of the house. "
Mrs. Han clicked her tongue, "Your father-in-law mentioned this. I just thought you had expanded the yard, but I didn't expect you to build a bigger one. Wow, you guys are really capable of doing things! In such a big house, it's hard to live in it." That’s enough for previous generations!”
Shen Yi smiled and scratched his head, "My mother-in-law was joking. The whole family can live in the yard. In the future, when the children grow up, they will have to buy another land and build a house."
Han's head was pounding when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.
When she entered the yard and found the two doors of Shen's house, she was amazed again. When she saw the floor of the hall clearly, she stopped talking completely.
Everyone has free time to tidy up their house like this, so building a big yard is nothing to worry about.
"Xiao Tai, where does mother live?" Han Shi turned his attention from the house to Su Tai and looked at her belly for a while before asking about the business.
