Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 363 Finally Back to the Village

Su He comforted her grandparents: "Grandpa, grandma, we are home now. We don't have to hide anymore. Let's go home and pack up everything and be the same as before."

The two old people, their eyes blurred with tears, tried hard not to let them fall, and said with a smile: "Yeah, it's as good as before, I think so too."

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, someone came out and saw them and shouted happily: "The Su family is back, great! Hurry up and inform the village chief."

A young man hurried to the village, shouting, "The Su family is back, let's go take a look!"

Several young men on duty at the gate came forward to greet them: "Master Su, you are finally back. Our school has been closed for a long time. The children are looking forward to your return!"

"Grandma Su, you're back. Uncle and second uncle, you're all back. Let's go back home quickly!"

"Uncle, the village chief has asked someone to help look after our house. There is no grass growing in the yard. There is just some dust in the house. Once it is cleaned up, we can live in it."

"Su He, you have grown taller. Everyone is looking forward to your return! Look, the village is still the same! Look, it is clean and beautiful!"

"You guys are finally back. We missed you so much."

"Our village is quite a big deal now. Look, the Hado families have rebuilt their houses."

"You may not know that the market for young men and women in our village is very good now. People from all over the country are looking forward to our village!"

"you………"

They followed Su He's grandparents, uncle and aunt, as well as Su He and Su He's parents and walked home together. Along the way, more and more people joined the group to chat.

The villagers were very welcoming now, and no one came to provoke them. Before the group of people reached Su He's house, they saw the village chief running over in a hurry.

He shouted from a distance: "Master Su, you are finally back. The eldest and second sons of the Su family, you will not leave this time! Those people came once and never came again. I have sent someone to look after the house. Let's go back and take a look."

Grandpa Su He smiled and thanked him, "Village Chief, I won't leave this time. Thank you for taking care of our house. Otherwise, we would be gone for such a long time and our house would be very dirty."

The village chief smiled and said, "We are all from the same village. You have been teaching children from the whole village. The tuition fee is just a token of your gratitude. It is for the sake of our fellow villagers. We have always owed you a favor. It is only right that we help take care of the yard this time."

Other villagers also echoed, "Uncle Su He, this is what you should do. The whole village has benefited so much from your family. Just raising chickens and farming has made us much better off than before."

"Now, every family in the village uses your recipe to raise chickens and farm. This year, they have a lot of food left. If it's not enough, the hens still lay a lot of eggs, and the roosters can be sold for money!"

"Nowadays, every family has saved a few taels of silver. This is all thanks to your family."

"There is also the wall of our village. Now many villages are learning from us. It is used to defend against enemies when war comes and to defend against thieves in normal times. It is perfect."

Su He had never thought that after not seeing him for a year, the villagers would become so talkative. Seeing that everyone was dressed neatly, their spirits and energy were obviously different from before. This was the advantage of having money, and people were not so cunning and mean anymore.

In fact, Su He knew that China had only had a few hundred years of good times from ancient times to the present. Most of the other eras were filled with war and chaos, and the people were always living in dire straits.

Most emperors ignored the suffering of the people and always exploited and enslaved them. The people either lived in war or natural disasters, but they had none of these and still had to pay all the heavy taxes.
