Chapter 490 There is a Su family village in the northwest
This place was not originally called Sujiazhuang, but Black Bear Village.
Every household can hunt, but they are too poor to raise flocks of sheep, let alone cattle.
Because I was poor, I farmed.
There were less than a hundred people in Xiaozhuangzi. Su Shaoli used the method of collecting Liurong Village and easily brought all these people into the ranks of servants of the Su family because they could have enough food and clothing.
Su Shaoli not only brought them grain seeds, but also grain and cattle. These people set aside the best yard for Su Shaoli and Su Zhuyin to live in. Every day, people would come to deliver chopped firewood, and the contents in the jars
The water is also full.
After rejecting their prey for the first time, these people stopped sending prey here.
Chen Yu knew that in a world with low productivity, poor people would be very poor, but the villagers here still surprised Chen Yu. The children all had big heads and small bodies, and the old woman in ragged clothes was carrying a basket with
There are wild vegetables that are still young.
The adult men have gone hunting in the mountains, while the adult women are tending the fields with their cattle and farm tools.
The children were very respectful when they saw the carriage. They stood on the roadside waiting for the carriage to pass by. Their envious eyes followed the carriage to the door of Su Shaoli's yard. When they saw the carriage stop, the children's eyes widened instantly and they shouted loudly: "Master
!”
They ran over like a swarm of swarms, gathered around the carriage, stared at Su Shaoli who jumped out of the carriage with wide eyes, and boldly asked: "Master, is this your carriage?"
"Well, my grandmother is here." Su Shaoli took the bamboo basket from Mrs. Wang's hand, walked to the children, and divided each of the pastries into a piece.
Chen Yu saw this scene when she got off the carriage. None of these children had anything to eat. They were holding the cakes and were too careful not to move.
"Master, can we take it home?" asked a tall, dark child.
Su Shaoli shook his head: "No, just eat it here!"
These children were really reluctant to part with it, but they could not disobey their master's order. Several children took a small bite of the cake with tears in their eyes, and then took another small bite because it was so delicious.
"This piece is for you. Grandma said that everyone, both adults and children, can eat pastries. After eating this piece, you are not allowed to eat it secretly." Su Shaoli rubbed the head of Xiao Douding, who was much smaller than himself.
Said with a smile.
Little Douding raised his head: "Does everyone have it? Do adults also have it?"
Su Shaoli smiled and said: "Yes! But you can't even think about eating adults' share. Adults are also greedy and want to eat delicious food!"
"I don't eat secretly. Give it to me. I won't eat it either. I've already eaten it." Xiao Douding raised the half of the snack left in his hand and said seriously.
Chen Yu knew why Su Shaoli packed so many cakes, salt and sugar before going out.
In the eyes of these people, Su Shaoli is like their savior.
Entering the yard, the low earthen house was very clean, with neat firewood placed at the base of the wall and the door ajar.
"Zhu Yin should also interact with them more." Chen Yu said softly to Su Zhuyin.
Su Zhuyin smiled: "Grandma, the second brother is responsible for making them get close, and I am responsible for making them afraid, because I am the one who pays monthly money."
Yo ho!
The two little brothers also learned how to control themselves, one playing the bad role and the other playing the red face.
"Where is Yangui?" Chen Yu asked.
Su Zhuyin whispered: "Take those people into the mountains to hunt, and sell the prey to Fourth Uncle for money. Fourth Uncle needs these."
There are old but clean beddings in the room, and neat straw mats.
The wild vegetables placed in the outer room are a little wilted. It looks like they were delivered yesterday.
The best courtyard is that besides the three rooms in the main house, there are two wing rooms on the left and right, which are not as good as the shabby courtyard that the Su family had at the beginning.
"Grandma, give them salt and sugar later, and then give them some medical attention. The people here are all dark and thin, and they don't look very healthy," Su Zhuyin said.
Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, the journey is not far. Let Zhou Dabao go back and buy whatever you need. Since we are all members of the Su family, it is appropriate to send some daily necessities."
Su Zhuyin thought for a while: "There is no hurry. Don't help the poor. Otherwise, they will develop a greedy temper. It will be good to give them some vegetable seeds."
This is something that Chen Yu has readily available, but he has to go to the carriage to 'get it' himself.
A basket of similar cloth bags contains various vegetable seeds. The names are written on the cloth bags. The family can grow a piece of vegetables when they go home. This is a great idea to help the poor.
When he sat down to rest, Chen Yu naturally praised him: "Zhu Yin is really a smart child. If we train those children later and try what the books say about knowing people and making good use of them, they will be even more powerful."
Su Zhuyin's face felt warm after receiving the compliment, but it was so dark that he couldn't even see his blushing. It was not as embarrassing as he imagined, and he felt sweet in his heart.
Sure enough, the second brother was right. Looking back after stepping out of the circle of the Su family compound, grandma sincerely loved every child, impartially, but with some importance.
Because of my deep temperament, my grandma had to handle her with care. Being more magnanimous would make me appear less kind.
In the evening, all the women who went to the fields came back, and when the sun went down, the men who hunted followed the geese back.
When Yangui saw the carriage in the yard, he quickly wiped away the grass foam and dust on his body, and hurried to the yard. He saw Mrs. Wang working in the kitchen, and was even more sure that the old lady was coming. When she got to the door, she stopped and said respectfully.
: "Old madam, my subordinate is back from hunting."
"The hard-working goose has returned. Let's go into the house to rest and have a sip of tea." Chen Yu said.
Only then did Yan Gui enter the room and greet Chen Yu again. Chen Yu asked him to sit down and rest for a while, and asked Xunmei to bring hot water.
The meal was simple and separated into two tables. After the meal, Yan Gui lit a bonfire in the yard. Soon people came over. These people were all from the whole family. They sat down around the bonfire and looked at each other with faces.
All with smiles.
Su Shaoli explained: "As long as a bonfire is lit, it is a gathering. People in the village will come back when they see the light of the fire, and the children will rush to tell each other."
Chen Yu nodded and asked Mrs. Wang to divide the salt, sugar and vegetable seeds into twenty portions, and put the cakes in a basket.
Her two grandsons accompanied her out and sat in the host's seat.
These people quickly stood up and saluted Chen Yu. Chen Yu asked these people to sit down and said first: "Two young boys from my family are here. Thank you all for accepting them and taking good care of them. In order to express my gratitude, I am going to
I’ve bought sugar, salt and some vegetable seeds, and every household has a copy. I’ll teach you how to plant them later.”
"Old madam, we are all servants of the Su family, and we do so willingly." A strong man stood up and said, "This is the Su family village, and the master gave it the name Su Northwest."
Chen Yu couldn't see Su Shaoli anymore. This kid had also studied. Why did he get such a name?
