Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 514 Su He Returns to the Village

Last time when the village was attacked by the enemy, they took up arms and fought off the enemy together, so they didn't lose face. That's why the village chief helped them raise chickens and live a good life.

When Su He returned to his hometown in the border town, he told the village chief how to make roast chicken and asked them to prepare it and organize people to sell it. He heard that it sold very well.

There is no shortage of chickens and ducks in their village, and every household raises them. Those who don't mind the stench will raise more, and those who don't like the taste will raise fewer. Anyway, there is more than one way to make money now.

Besides, chicken manure is a good thing for farmers. I heard that later some villagers invented a pump-type method of collecting manure, which made the chicken coop much cleaner.

Sometimes, the people here are not stupid but they are oppressed by heavy farm work and great pressure of survival, and have no time to think. Now that life has improved and it is not so busy, some people have started to use their brains, and the village is getting better and better.

Su He sometimes thought that if there were no heavy taxes and corvée labor in the government office, this place could be considered a paradise. At least everyone here could eat three full meals a day, which was rare in the entire Ansheng Kingdom.

Su He found an inn here to rest for a day, and took a carriage to Shili Village the next day.

Because of what I saw and heard on the road, I miss my hometown even more. Especially my grandparents at home, I wonder if they have heard the good news from Beijing?

Su He thought it would be better to go back to Shili Village first. After settling down there, she would rush to the border town.

The village chief must also be prepared. In case there is a war over there, patrols in the village must be strengthened to prevent the enemy from coming over the mountain.

Su He and his companions traveled for a few more days. They did not stop when they passed through the provincial capital, nor did they stop when they passed through Fengyu City. They went all the way to Baima Town, where they had a meal at their uncle's shop. After seeing that everything was fine, they went straight back to Shili Village.

As soon as he approached the clear river, Su He relaxed completely. He had arrived at his home. He was finally back. After such a long absence, the place he wanted to return to the most was Shili Village.

As soon as they reached the outer wall of the village, the people at the gate saw the driver and saw that it was someone from the Su family, so they hurried out to greet them. Su He also lifted the door curtain on the car and stuck his head out, smiling and greeting them.

When the men saw that it was Su He, they smiled and shouted, "Su He is back, that's great! The village chief was talking about you a while ago!"

Su He smiled and replied, "Really? I'll go see him tomorrow morning. You guys have worked hard."

The men smiled and said, "The village chief gave us money, so we should guard it well. Even if he didn't pay us, we still have to guard it. Our village is well-known for being wealthy."

They greeted each other and opened the gate to let them in. Su He looked at the high wall with a smile and said to himself, this is great, at least we won't be slaughtered at will.

Su He sat directly on this side of the bicycle frame, greeting the villagers while walking home. Because the surrounding environment of the houses in the village is clean and hygienic, the elderly sit on the street doing handicrafts, chatting and looking at home.

In this way, the old people will not be idle and can earn some money. These are the people in the village who go out to sell things and take some small jobs. Only when people go out can they find opportunities to make money. But the premise is that you must have money and goods. If you go out poor, you can only beg for food and work.

The people in the village who dared to go out all had some money in their hands and were not afraid when they went out.

It is so nice to see the elderly working leisurely on the street and the children running around and playing. In the past, children started working from the age of three. Many of them did not grow up or were thin, which was related to the fact that they started working at an early age.

Now that life at home is good, the children don't have to work in the fields all the time. They just need to feed the chickens at home, which is very simple. They just need to add some grass and dig some earthworms.

The rest of the time they can play at home, and when they grow up they can go to school to learn to read and write. The children in the village are the envy of many people in other villages.

However, the surrounding villages are also changing, and are gradually learning from Shili Village. However, they are all trying to learn from it, but still cannot catch up.

Su He also told the village chief not to stand out too much, so as to avoid getting into trouble. If the experience is passed on, everyone will become richer and will not attract so much attention.
