Chapter 269: Wall-Eavesdropping Skills
Zhou liked it as soon as she heard it, thinking that lotus flowers are very cultural.
"Okay, that's the name. Lotus, will you have lunch with me at noon? I'm tired of looking at your uncle. He's like a fly buzzing in my ear, and I can't get rid of him."
Su He pretended not to notice the pitiful look of her uncle standing at the door, and agreed with a smile.
"Okay, aunt, I'll go find Madam He first and come back to see you later."
When Zhou heard this, she also wanted to go out for some fresh air.
"Well, I'm going to go talk to Guihua and Wenniang, so we can make clothes for the kids together. Wait for me, I'll bring some needle and thread."
Zhou quickly picked up the sewing basket beside her, but Su He refused to let Zhou take it, so she snatched it away.
Su He took Zhou's arm and went to Wang Jingui's house first, and it turned out that He Huiru was there with Chuchu. What a coincidence.
"Lotus, you're awake! I was just saying I would go check on you."
After not seeing each other for one night, He Huiru's face had become much rosier. Chuchu was now shyly chatting with Wen Niang. The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.
"What a coincidence. I sent my aunt here. I will come to see you later. It seems that you are used to it."
Jin came over to help her sister-in-law, "You must be bored staying at home, so let's chat. Don't sew, Yuzhen and I can do it."
Zhou was not willing to do that. She used to be an impetuous person, but now she was almost sick from staying at home.
Su He waited for Zhou to get on the kang but she didn't sit down. She was still thinking about something.
"Aunt, Liangzi told you that he went to work in the government office. Brother Bin was outstanding in ability and was retained."
Ma was confused. "Enter the government office? Didn't he go to help find something?"
"No, he, Brother Bing, and Azhi have all gone to the government office. I was thinking of asking them to go back to the city in the afternoon and wait for orders!"
"what?!"
Everyone in the room was staring at Su He, even He Huiru didn't know about this.
Su He helplessly recounted what had happened.
"The earliest I may have to go back is tomorrow. I want Zhi and the others to go first."
"I'm going to call that little bastard. He didn't even tell me about such a big thing. He's really rebellious."
Ma couldn't sit still any longer, so she climbed off the kang and went to look for Wang Liang.
Su He sighed, it seemed that the men in the family were not very reliable.
After a brief moment of joy, Zhou immediately thought of the housing issue, "Since they have entered the government, do you think we should buy them a house in the city? They won't be farming anymore in the future."
Jin became interested when she heard this. This was what she had been planning to do. Now that her sister-in-law was with her, this matter became even more promising.
"Sister-in-law, I thought so too. It's not good for the three of them to stay in Hehua's house forever. Why don't we go and see them some other day?"
"I want to go too. I have nothing to do right now, so I want to go to the city and have fun."
Wen Niang signed up actively, thinking that she could go more often now that she was still in the early stages of pregnancy. Once her belly got bigger, she would have to stay in the village.
"Okay, we'll go after Dali and his family get married."
Zhou simply set a specific date.
Su He walked up to He Huiru and asked about the goods that were shipped yesterday.
"Mrs. He, have you counted yesterday's goods? Are there any problems?"
He Huiru actually didn't even look at it, but spoke to Su He affirmatively.
"No problem, thank you very much. Chuchu and I think this place is great. We slept on the kang yesterday and Chuchu rolled around in joy several times."
Zhou Chuchu blushed and hurriedly stopped her mother from revealing the secret. She always adhered to the dignified style.
"Mom! We haven't tidied up the house yet. It's almost time for dinner. Let's go back and eat first and then start tidying up."
He Huiru cooperated and changed the subject, "Yes, yes, Hehua, we'll leave first and come to play with you in the afternoon."
Su He nodded and told her where he was going that afternoon.
"Mrs. He, I'm going to go to the farm this afternoon. If you have nothing to do, we can go together."
"Okay, we don't have anything to do. Chuchu and I will come to see you after dinner. By the way, you can call me aunt. Madam He is too formal."
He Huiru immediately forgot about tidying up the house. She ran around this morning and got a general idea of the situation in Tianyuan Village. This village seemed to be better than she had imagined.
Su He changed her tone and said, "Aunt, I'm going to be busy now. Aunt, I'll go back home. You can ask your second aunt to take you back later."
The last sentence was said to Zhou, but Zhou didn't care at all.
"Don't worry about me. What's the big deal about walking a few steps? Go and do your work."
So Su He went straight home. Miaomiao and others had just finished school.
"Sister! The teacher praised me in class today!"
Miaomiao took credit as soon as she came up, and then asked for food.
"Did you bring me anything to eat?"
Su He touched Miao Miao's little head with amusement, "Yes, they are all in my room, but you have to eat first and then go get them."
Miaomiao happily pulled Jiaojiao and Tiantian to see it, "I'll go and take a look. I won't eat it. I'll be a good boy when I eat later."
Mu Tou came over to say hello to Su He, and then asked about school.
"Sister, when can I go to school? My goal this year is to pass the Tongsheng Mansion exam."
Su He encouraged with a smile, "I think you can definitely pass. If you are in a hurry, come with me to the city after Dali and the others get married. First, adapt to the city environment. You should go to Zhixing Academy. School will start in a week."
Mu Tou nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his sister still cared about him.
"Sister, how's your storybook business going?"
Not many people knew that Su He wrote a storybook, and Mu Tou only found out about it because he helped Su He copy the manuscript.
"Very good. The money you earn is enough for you to pass the imperial examination."
Su He patted his brother's shoulder, hoping that he could study with peace of mind.
"Don't worry, sister will arrange everything."
Mu Tou looked at Su He with trust and nodded.
"I understand, sister. The teacher has been taking time to teach me recently, and I have never slacked off for a moment."
Su He pulled her brother to the kitchen, "Have you been eating on time recently? Have you let Aunt He rush you?"
Mu Tou blushed and didn't dare to look at his sister. It was obvious that he felt guilty.
"You need to have a good body to do anything. You can't be hungry."
"I know, sister."
When Yanzhi saw that the two of them had almost finished chatting, she quickly looked for Suhe to make an appointment.
"Lotus, I've finished painting my eyes. Can you take a look at them after dinner?"
When Su He heard this, he immediately asked Yan Zhi to take it out.
"I'll see it now, cousin, bring it to me."
Yanzhi took out an oil-paper bag from her chest and opened it. She carefully unfolded the rice paper, and one of her eyes fell into Su He's eyes.
To be honest, the painting is okay, but not compared with Su He's current level, but compared with the beginner Su He in the past.
"Cousin, the painting is good, but the eyes are a little dull. Darken this area. Here............."
Su He finished his review seriously and quickly.
"Cousin, you have great talent. Remember to practice every day. In time, you will be able to surpass me."
"really?"
Yanzhi was unbelievably sure, could she support herself and Tiantian with this craft?
Su He returned the rice paper to Yanzhi and gave a positive answer.
"Of course, I believe you can."
After Su He finished her business, she took a steamed bun for herself to eat. She had been hungry for a long time.
"Miss, Aunt Zhou asked you to go to her house for dinner."
Cui Niang ran over and called Su He. Su He slapped her head, wondering how could she have forgotten about this.
"Come on, go on, I'll go now."
Su He took the steamed bun and ran away. As expected, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Zhou with her hands on her hips glaring at her.
"Hahahaha, aunt, I just took a bite of my steamed bun. Come on, let's go eat."
Grandma and grandpa were in the kitchen. Tietou saw Su He stand up and greet them obediently.
"Hehua, why does the official value Binzi so much?"
Grandma was very curious. Her eldest grandson was a hard-working farmer and was usually silly. She really couldn't see any good qualities in him.
"Bingo can listen to the wall."
"Eavesdropping? Oh, this kid is doing this? How shameful."
"No, no, we went there this time because..., that is to say, the gold was found with the help of Brother Bing, so the official asked him to help, and we returned first."
Su He quickly waved her hand and explained that her brother Bin had a bright future.
