Su Fengmao patted the table, his eyes filled with eagerness because he and his family were about to live in a new, big house.

Su Binglan had gone to look around in the new house, and Su Zhengde had slightly modified a few places. Hence, delaying the house’s building process. Moreover, the house was expansive and required a lot of furniture.

Initially, the furniture was ready in advance, and the family had moved them in, but Su Binglan said she wanted to let some air in before their big move. Although no one understood why Su Binglan did that, they listened to her and decided to move in a day later.

Su Fengmao kept track of the time and reminded everyone that they were moving into the new house tomorrow. Everyone stopped talking about the factory when they heard they were moving the following day.

“Oh, right, we’re moving in tomorrow. I almost forgot about that.” Su Wenwu was the first to react. He was the most excited and active when he thought of living in a big house and having a big room to himself.

Shen Qiuhua smiled. “I’ve been so busy for the past few days that I almost forgot about it.”

Indeed, she had been swamped recently, but being busy made her feel at ease since she had more money. She even ate and slept well.

Liu Yinyin’s eyes were sparkling. “Binglan even got me a dressing table, but I haven’t gone to look at it.”

Su Binglan said the dressing table had drawers and cabinets in which Liu Yinyin could put things she used daily. For example, things like combs, makeup, and cosmetics.

Liu Yinyin did not have many things. She only had a box of ordinary makeup and stuff like wooden hairpins and combs. Even though she did not have much, Liu Yinyin still liked having a dressing table.

She imagined putting more things in her dressing table cabinets and drawers, as she could remove and use them daily.

Their house now felt crowded, and Liu Yinyin could only put some of her things in the cupboard. Fortunately, she did not have many clothes and could fit them all in.

However, the new house had separate yards and rooms with heated platforms and beds. Su Binglan said they could sleep on the heated platform during the winter and on the bed when it was hot during the summer. They also had several cupboards to store many things.

The most important thing about the new house was its many yards and rooms, so Liu Yinyin’s sons could stay there even when they married. Nonetheless, the family would be harmonious and united, making Liu Yinyin happy. “Time flies, huh? I didn’t expect to move into the big house so soon.”

“Yeah, our family just keeps improving.”

Su Wenzhe thought of his children having their own rooms. Then he would not have to share one and sleep on a brick bed again since it was too crowded. He used to be like that with his two brothers.

Therefore he was happy that his two sons would have their own rooms. Sure enough, Su Binglan was thoughtful.

Su Wenxiu did not have a strong concept of where to live since he had suffered in the capital. Still, he was satisfied when he returned because he felt content sleeping on a warm bed at home.

Nonetheless, he was thrilled that he could move into a big house with his family. Su Wenxiu realized he had grown dependent on his family because he felt safe with them.

He looked forward to planting medicinal herbs in the new house’s backyard the most since it was huge. His sister had bought all that land and surrounded it with a wall, so he would not have to worry about others stealing his medicinal herbs.

Su Wenxiu said, “I can also grow my medicinal herbs now.”

Even Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were excited, especially Su Xuexuan. He wanted to live in the big house because Su Binglan said there would be a special study room. He could read and study there, so he was delighted.

Su Xuexuan was only four years old and had a lot of fun whenever he got home from school.

Su Binglan could feel how excited everyone was and could not help but laugh. She was a beautiful young lady, predominantly when she laughed. Everyone thought she looked adorable.

All the Su family members were good-looking, especially since Su Binglan had been adding spiritual spring water to the house water tank. The family drank it daily, causing their skin and mental states to improve.

Even the white hair on Shen Qiuhua’s head became less, and her skin was much more delicate, making her look much younger. Since everyone was together daily, none of them noticed these changes.

However, Su Wenwu noticed that his parents looked younger when he finally returned home. Even his brothers looked better.

After discussing the matter of moving, Su Binglan said, “Let’s continue talking about the tofu factory and the hotpot restaurant.”

Shen Qiuhua said, “Yes, let’s talk about the restaurant first. After all, we could afford that big house because we made money from doing well with our businesses. Still, we can’t forget our roots even if we have that big house.” Su Wenzhe hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mother. We know that.”

Su Wenxiu added, “Mother, I’ve been studying medicine at Hundred Herb Hospital, and Doctor Wu has been enthusiastic about teaching and guiding me.”

Su Wenwu said, “I’ll also do my best, Mother. I’ll go and help Binglan since she’s opening a hotpot restaurant.”

Shen Qiuhua nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, I know you three will work hard. I’m just afraid that you might get arrogant. No matter what, you must always stay grounded.

“The three of you must work hard to live good lives and never be lazy. Don’t think I’m lecturing you because it’s for your sake.” Shen Qiuhua knew her three sons well, but she wanted to remind them to be humble.

“We don’t think you’re lecturing us, Mother. We know you’re saying those things for our good,” Su Wenzhe expressed his stance with his two younger siblings.

Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu nodded in unison. “Big Brother is right, Mother.”

Everyone ate their fill while talking. Then the family cleared the dishes together before sitting on the brick bed again.

At that moment, Shen Qiuhua took a basket and placed it beside the brick bed. Afterward, she poured the corn cobs onto the bed. If the family slept late, they would do farm work and talk.

“Let’s peel the corn and prepare the noodles so we can put them aside.”

Everyone sat on the brick bed and started to work. Su Binglan wanted to help, but everyone agreed to let her rest. The family could not bear to let Su Binglan do these things.

Su Binglan said, “I’m not tired. Besides, I’ve already gone to work in the fields in the morning, so peeling corn is nothing.”

Shen Qiuhua’s heart ached for her daughter. She said, “Peeling too much corn will hurt your hands. You still have many things to do and can’t afford to exhaust yourself.”

“Mother is right, Binglan. You should rest.”

Su Binglan knew that peeling chestnuts, corn, and rice relied on manual labor in this era. Indeed, after working too much, her hands would hurt. Everyone felt sorry for her, but she also felt sorry for them.

Still, Su Binglan insisted on helping. “Don’t worry. I’ll just do a little bit of work. I won’t exhaust myself. Besides, I won’t feel at ease if I don’t do anything while you’re all laboring away. Let’s work together as a family so we can afford more food and clothing..”
