After all the crops had been collected, the ones that should be put into the warehouse, and the ones that should be stored in the cellar, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su let out a huge sigh of relief.
Busy all year round with these things, if the rain did not take back in time, then there was no place to cry.
It was also because of this that the farmers regarded the strong very highly, because during the rush season, they were the only ones to take care of the food. This was also the main reason why Lee Qingshan was able to gain the goodwill of Su Family and his family in such a short period of time.
After all the farming was done with the winter wheat sowing, but this was relatively easy. It would be finished in a few days. After that, the weather would turn cold and there would be nothing left to do.
At this time, Su Zi's wedding date was also about to arrive. The two families had decided on the third day of the tenth month, so they had to busy themselves with planting the winter wheat.
Su Zi had been showing off her dowry at home for the past month. Although she didn't know how to do it previously, this body of hers had its own instincts. She would do it well if she studied hard.
She also had to make Lee Qingshan a close-fitting set of clothes. All of this was done by her personally, and Mrs. Su also had to teach Su Zi how to cook. In short, she wanted to teach Lee Qingshan everything before she got married.
Su Zi also knew Mrs. Su's worry. Since Lee Qingshan had no elders, they could only deal with whatever happened in the future. Mrs. Su was still worried, so she was very serious in her studies to reassure her.
She felt that if she had shown any sincerity before she transmigrated, then Esteemed Empress Dowager wouldn't have been so disappointed. She missed Esteemed Empress Dowager a little bit now.
Her mother had been hoping for her daughter to marry into a good family, but she'd been left over. Now that she was going to marry someone at fifteen, wouldn't the empress dowager be so happy that she'd cry tears of joy if she found out?
Perhaps it really was fear before marriage. Su Zi had always been indulging in wild thoughts recently. Sometimes, she would wonder why she would marry herself just like that, following an ancient saying.
But then he thought, what could he do if he didn't marry? Lee Qingshan was not a bad person. Perhaps in the future, he might not even meet one that was this good.
During this period, Su Zi and Su Lan had planted five Mountain Grape. Perhaps the time of cutting was wrong, but the survival rate wasn't very high. However, this made everyone happy, and Su Lan took care of it more diligently.
"I didn't expect you to be alive, Sis, you're too awesome!" Su Lan was overjoyed.
"Only five of them were alive. The timing might be wrong. It might be better to wait until spring to cut them." Su Zi guessed.
"Alright, we'll plant some more when the time comes. That way, we won't have to go up the mountain to get some grapes. We can sell them for a lot of money now." Su Lan was fascinated.
After knowing the price, Mrs. Su didn't mind using the place where she grew the vegetables and happily expressed her support.
However, Su Zi was not that optimistic. After searching a few more times, the number of people they found was not as many. Moreover, there was no such thing as a wall without wind in the world. After knowing that the mountain grapes could be sold for money, everyone also went to pick them. In the future, even the price would be lowered.
Therefore, Su Zi felt that this wasn't a long-term plan. To find someone who couldn't easily be imitated was to brew wine.
Su Zi initially wanted to try out the wine brewing process, but she had been busy lately. Furthermore, there were no more mountain grapes. Thus, Su Zi did not dare to leave behind a large amount of grapes for testing, afraid that Mrs. Su would say that she was abusing things.
Therefore, she wanted to try again after she married Lee Qingshan. At that time, no one would care about her, no matter how they wanted to come.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that marrying Lee Qingshan was quite beneficial. At least she had taken the lead, she had completely forgotten that she had to pass Lee Qingshan's trial. Ye Zichen subconsciously thought that Lee Qingshan would definitely not object, but he didn't know why he had such a thought.
The night before their marriage, Mrs. Su came over and saw that her slim and graceful daughter was about to get married. Mrs. Su's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Mrs. Su caressed Su Zi's hair and said gently, "Marrying someone is different from staying at home. Although Lee Qingshan doesn't have parents or elders, but don't be petty between husband and wife. You still have to do your duty."
"Women expect to marry a man, dress and live his life, serve him well, and let him do as he pleases. I know you're always on the safe side, but you still have to be careful when you're married. "
"Lee Qingshan doesn't have any relatives to help him. If you have anything to say, just come back and ask your parents. We've always eaten a few years more than you."
"I've already given you the money that Lee Qingshan took. After you go, you will live well with him. It's best if you buy a few acres of land. Our farmers will feel more at ease once they have it."
When Su Zi heard that Mrs. Su had brought her own silver taels, she was slightly unhappy. She knew that her family had spent quite a bit for her dowry, so she even made a new chest of drawers for her.
"Mom, you can keep the silver, I don't want it." Su Zi pulled Mrs. Su's hand and said resolutely.
"That's your betrothal gift. Take it away. We can't leave it behind. Just consider yourself as your own. Women also need some money in order to have more confidence." Mrs. Su patted Su Zi's hands and advised with a sincere tone.
Su Zi also knew that her family treated her well, but when she thought about the circumstances of her family, she felt that she shouldn't have taken the money.
"How about this, mother, just give me ten liang, leave ten liang, big brother is about to get married, there are always places that require money." Su Zi knew that if it wasn't realistic to stay, then she would stay half the way. Furthermore, her brother's marriage was involved, so Mrs. Su had to think about it.
As expected, when she thought of how her son was about to get married, Mrs. Su hesitated. Although they were her own children, compared to her son and daughter, she was still biased towards them.
But then thinking about what Mr. Su said, Mrs. Su wavered again. Mr. Su said, "I know what you're thinking. Take this money to give her brother a marriage. But what's the difference between this and selling your daughter? You already owe little girl Zi a lot, so you can't mistreat her on this matter. "
Mrs. Su hardened her heart as she thought about this. "No, we can't keep these. Our family has made a lot of money selling grapes and herbs during this period of time. We also have enough for your big brother's marriage."
Seeing how determined Mrs. Su was, Su Zi knew that her father must have said something. At this point, no matter what, it was useless. Su Zi just wanted to come back and help out when she needed help in the future.
Mrs. Su also taught her a few things about herself, such as handling household chores, but in the end, she was suddenly a little hesitant. Su Zi became a little anxious. "Mother, what's wrong?" If you have anything to say, just say it. "
Mrs. Su looked like she wanted to say something, but hesitated. In the end, she passed a book to Su Zi and said, "Take a look at it yourself." Then he fled.
Su Zi was puzzled. What happened to her mother today? Thus, he opened the book in his hand and took a few glances. Oh, so it was the Spring Palace Map! The picture was a little rough, but the figure was still relatively clear. It was just that the posture was a little strange. Would it really be able to prevent her from getting injured?
Su Zi held it and studied it for a long time. As a modern person who had been imbued with Japanese, love, and action movies, these were all trivial matters to her, so she didn't feel shy about them.
Su Zi pressed it down to the bottom of the box after she finished flipping through the pages. There were only a few pages left, but there was still some measure to it.
After a while, Mrs. Su and Su Lan came over together. Mrs. Su had already returned to normal. Su Lan looked at Su Zi and said, "Sis, I want to sleep with you."
"Come, mother will come as well." Su Zi said with a smile. She also knew that they couldn't bear to part with her. Although their marriage wasn't that far away, the water poured out by her daughter was different after all.
As the three talked, they fell asleep at an unknown time. Early the next morning, they were called out to wash up. Su Zi thought that she had probably slept for less than four hours and was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
