Chapter 52 Buying a Bullock Cart
"Wait a minute, don't say anything yet, let me slow down." Su Chunsen stopped Su Yu and sat down silently, with a tangled expression.
Su Yu also knew that this was a major matter that required careful consideration, and he was not in a hurry to urge Su Chunsen to make a decision.
When Su Changxi learned that Su Yu had completely gotten rid of his slave status, he immediately went to the county with them and registered Su Yu's household registration. From now on, Su Yu really had nothing to do with the Bai Mansion.
In the blink of an eye, February came, and the cabbage and two acres of rice planted by Su Tai in Tushikong had another good harvest, and she received 9,600 coins.
At this time, the family was discussing spring plowing.
Su Chunlin also moved out all the farm tools and repaired them, muttering that the hoe at home had a broken edge and the shovel was blunt and needed to be polished again.
Su Tai then realized that the family was so short of working tools, and suggested to Su Chunlin: "Dad, why don't our family buy a cow? Firstly, it can help with plowing the land, and secondly, we don't have to hire a bullock cart in the town when we go out." , isn’t it very convenient?”
"Buying a cow?" Su Chunlin was so excited that his voice was trembling.
The couple looked at each other, excited and worried, "This must be a lot of money!"
Su Yu advised from the side: "Brother-in-law and aunt, actually I also think it is good to buy cows. I still have eight acres of wasteland at home. It is not easy to cultivate wasteland. Buying cows can save a lot of effort. If you are tight on money, I can also help with some money."
Mr. Han hurriedly refused, "There is no need to ask you to provide money! Children don't have to worry about it. Your uncle and I can still afford a cow."
Having said that, even if you don’t want to buy the cow, you have to buy it.
The next day, the couple went to the town to find someone to buy a cow. They spent ten taels of silver and the other party also provided a bullock cart.
Now that he had a bullock cart, Han took a brood of chickens back to raise them.
When Su Chunlin drove the bullock cart into the village, the villagers who received the news came to watch the excitement. Everyone was extremely envious.
Su Changxi saw this and said loudly: "You will farm well this year, and when you have money after the autumn harvest, you will also buy cattle."
"Yes! We must also work hard to farm and save money to buy cattle!" Many villagers echoed, eager to go to work in the fields right now.
Su Tai took the opportunity to enter the Mu Shikong Seed Store and purchased three thousand kilograms of wheat seeds again. As a result, the balance of virtual currency was less than 800.
After buying the seeds, Xiao Shao had to find Shen Yi as a shield. Su Chunlin liked to show off, so the father and daughter hit it off and drove the bullock cart to Shenjiazhuang.
Shen Yi was really responsive to Su Tai's requests, and immediately told Su Chunlin that he had obtained another batch of grain seeds, and he could exchange them for wheat without giving any money.
This is really a great thing for the villagers of Dongmen Village.
Su Chunlin immediately lost the thought of showing off the bullock cart and directly pulled a large cart of grain seeds back to the village to find Su Changxi.
In the next few days, Su Chunlin was busy pulling wheat on both sides and could not take care of his own work.
After all the three thousand kilograms of grain were arranged, Shen Yi's family also stocked up on three thousand kilograms of grain.
Shen Yi came to Su Tai's door in person, feeling helpless, "What are you going to do with so much food now?"
Su Tai smiled and said: "Brother Shen, can you help me sell it? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. How about giving you 10% of your hard-earned money?"
Shen Yi glanced at the girl in front of him who was squeezing her nose and cheeks in a funny way, "Can I still take advantage of you? It's just that the price of grain has dropped this year. A pound of wheat in the town costs 40 cents. If it is sold to the grain shop in the town, at least it will cost you. If you keep the price down, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it for thirty-five cents per pound. If you're in a hurry, we can set the price between thirty-five and forty cents and sell it ourselves."
"Okay! Brother Shen can just do whatever he wants." Su Tai believed in Shen Yi's decision unconditionally. After Shen Yi left, she happily went to the main room.
Su Yutong said to her: "Xiao Tai, I think my brother-in-law has clear eyes, he is quite good."
Su Tai smiled and said proudly, "That's right, my taste is definitely good."
"No shame or shame!" Su Yu laughed dumbly.
Spring plowing has begun, and everyone in the family is busy. Even Su Yu can't sit still. He either goes to the fields to deliver food or helps with some housework.
The wound on her face had healed, and after the scab came off, Han bought her a box of scar-removing ointment from Dr. Li's medical clinic in the town.
A small box costs more than one or two, and I don't know if it will be effective or not, but Han's kindness made Amelia Su feel very warm.
The Han family helped spread her good reputation in the village, and the villagers also knew that Su Yu was trying to save the eldest daughter of the Bai family from being injured. Most people felt pity for her when they saw her, and few people criticized her. Gradually, she also felt embarrassed. The veil is taken off, showing off to others openly.
Spring plowing has been busy for a month. During this period, there were several spring rains, which saved everyone the work of watering. The villagers said this was a good sign.
Su Chunlin stood at the door of his courtyard, looking at the eight acres of reclaimed wasteland on the side, and had already begun to daydream about the autumn harvest.
At this time, Shen Yi came slowly from a distance.
Su Chunlin's eyes lit up and he hurried forward to say hello, "Are you done with your farm work? Do you want me to help you?"
Shen Yi shook his head and glanced at the smoothed land, "What did uncle plant?"
Su Chunlin chuckled and said, "Isn't this just a wasteland? I don't know if we can have a good harvest, so I just listened to Xiaomo and planted half soybeans and half peanuts."
"It's good. Is Xiao Tai at home?" Shen Yi looked into the yard.
Su Chunlin immediately turned aside to let him in, and called out Su Tai at the top of his lungs.
When no one was around, Shen Yi gave her the parcel in the rattan basket, "The wheat was sold for one hundred and twelve taels, and all was exchanged for scraps of silver."
Su Tai grabbed a handful from inside and stuffed it into Shen Yi's hand, but Shen Yi dodged it, "You and I will get married after the autumn harvest. My future is not yours yet. Put it away quickly and don't let my uncle and aunt see it." "
Seeing Shen Yi's insistence, Su Tai could only accept the money and asked in a low voice: "Does your family have enough money to build a house? If not, I have some here. It was you who said so. From now on, what's yours is mine." I want to live comfortably.”
Shen Yi smiled and nodded fondly, "Don't worry, I earned more than one hundred taels from selling crops last year, which is more than enough to build two large yards. After this autumn harvest, I will have another sum of money from selling the crops. I will definitely marry you into the family."
After hearing this, Su Tai turned red with embarrassment and hurriedly ran back to the backyard holding the package.
Shen Yi looked at her back and smiled, walked outside the door and chatted with Su Chunlin for a while before going back.
Not two days later, Su Chunsen returned to the village.
This time he set off from the county seat overnight and arrived at Dongmen Village in the middle of the night. No one was disturbed.
Su Chunlin looked shocked when he opened the door for him, "Brother, why are you back at this time? Is something going to happen again?"
Su Chunsen shook his head at him, and first took the horse to rest and feed, and then followed Su Chunlin to the kitchen house to talk quietly.
"I specially found an opportunity to secretly come out to find you. Only Awang knows about it in the house and I didn't alert anyone else. Don't go around making noises."
