Chapter 142 Should I tell An An and Ning Ning about the matter in the space?
Ever since the matter of the lighthouse and the telescope was mentioned that day, I don’t know what Su’s father and Xiao Yi discussed it.
In short, in the days that followed, Su's father seldom went to the military camp. He ran back and forth between home and Xiao Yi's general's mansion, and occasionally went to Panyu City.
Xiao Yi also often came to my Su's house to discuss things with Su's father and Mr. Fu in the study in the front yard.
The person who was most happy about this was Ningning.
Because she and An An were still young, Mr. Fu had arranged fewer homework for them. Now that Mr. Fu was busy, he left even less homework for them.
An An took the initiative to do more homework every day, practicing calligraphy and reading more books. Ning Ning spent more energy on martial arts training, or pestering Su Weixi to take her out to play.
So on this day, Ningning came to pester Su Weixi to take her out to play.
Su Weixi couldn't stand her sister's coquettishness, so she went to the study and picked up An An who was reading, and the three of them went out to play.
"Sister, please take my sister with you. I want to read at home." An An didn't want to go out.
"You need to combine work and rest. Reading in the study all day is not good for your eyes." Su Weixi knew that her brother would definitely be a top student now, but she felt that he still had to go out more and children still had to have a happy childhood.
In the end, An An couldn't persuade her sister and younger sister, so she put down the book in her hand and went out with them.
Because Su Weixi said that they would not go shopping in the city today, but would take them to the beach in Chenjia Village. An An thought that it had been a long time since she went to the beach, so she readily agreed.
……
"Sea, here I come!" Ningning got off the carriage and pulled An An straight to the beach.
"Be careful and don't get too close to the beach." Su Weixi warned worriedly.
Fortunately, Qingzhu and Shiliu, who had been protecting the two little guys, were very smart and caught up with them.
Su Weixi found a place to cool off under a tree. The servants put out the folding tables and chairs from home, as well as food and drinks. Next to it stood a large parasol that Su Weixi had a servant who knew carpentry modify. If there were no ships on the sea and no tall buildings nearby, Su Weixi would have felt like he was on vacation in the modern world.
"Sister Su, it really is you."
Su Weixi was enjoying the snacks and drinks she had prepared when she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her.
He saw Haihua, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walking towards him with her cousin Ergouzi. Su Weixi immediately picked up some snacks on the table and shared them with the two siblings.
The two children were very sensible. They knew that the food Su Weixi gave them were rare, so they were embarrassed to accept it. It was only after Su Weixi forced them to accept it.
"Isn't it too late for you to go fishing at this time?" Su Weixi asked as he looked at the brother and sister who carefully put the things he gave them into their pockets.
"Sister Su, we're not here to go fishing today. We heard from the villagers that you and An An and Ning Ning were at the beach, so we came to see you."
"Sister Su, where are An An and Ning Ning?" Er Gouzi asked when he didn't see An An and Ning Ning.
"They went over there to play, you go find them." Su Weixi pointed in a direction to Ergouzi, and Ergouzi ran to find An An and Ning Ning, while Haihua wanted to stay where she was to accompany Su Weixi.
"How have you been lately?" Su Weixi thought. It had been a long time since he went into the mountains to avoid the Japanese, and he hadn't been to the beach of Chenjia Village for a long time, so he hadn't seen the brother and sister either.
"We are fine, thanks to my sister. Now every household in our village lives much better." Haihua's eyes were full of gratitude.
Later, from Haihua's story, Su Weixi learned that Chenjia Village was indeed much better off now than before. Su Weixi had taught them how to make oyster sauce, and every household had saved a lot of money.
After the Japanese attack, the two workshops of the Su family were recruiting workers. Because of Su Weixi's instructions, the manager gave priority to Chenjia Village when recruiting workers. As long as the family in the village had good conduct, at least one person would be employed in the workshop.
Nowadays, many families in the village can eat meat almost every now and then.
Village Chief Chen was farsighted and knew that Su Weixi had told them how to make oyster sauce because he saw that they were in great difficulty and wanted to help. Now the Su family's workshop had recruited most of the laborers in their village to work there.
One should not attract too much attention, so he wanted to stop the village's oyster sauce production and sale, and informed Su Weixi of the entrustment of the matter.
Su Weixi asked them to make the method of making oyster sauce public, and then some relatives in Chenjia Village and surrounding villages knew how to make oyster sauce. In the end, not only the whole Qiongzhou Island knew about it, but also people in Panyu City knew about it.
Some people make it for themselves, while others make oyster sauce and sell it.
With more people selling, the price is naturally lower than that of Chenjia Village. But there is still a market. After all, prying oysters is a big project and requires a lot of effort. People in the city can't do it themselves. In addition, the method has been spread, the shelf life is short, and no one has opened a workshop to mass produce it, so there is still a market.
The method of making oyster sauce was spread from Chenjia Village, but the village chief Chen instructed the people of Chenjia Village to tell others that it was taught by County Lord Anning, and those who want to thank should thank County Lord Anning for her kindness.
As a result, after Su Weixi invented his method of drying salt, his reputation spread throughout Qiongzhou Island and Panyu City again.
Su Weixi and the other members of the Su family didn't care much about this. I didn't do this out of spite, I just felt that I had so many prescriptions and didn't care about just one. I just told them because I thought the Chen family were all kind-hearted.
If you say something crucial, Su Weixi will not be so stupid as to spread it. Even though the Su family had previously handed over many prescriptions to the court through the Zhenguo Mansion, it was only to improve their status.
Su Weixi felt that she and her father and mother didn't care about some things, but they needed to consider An An and Ning Ning.
They have never experienced modern civilization and are children born and raised here. They need a certain identity and status to go out.
Su Weixi had discussed with Su's father and mother before, whether to tell the two little ones about the space after they became more sensible, or to bring them into the space so that they could also learn some modern knowledge.
Su's parents objected because they might not tell anyone about the space, but no one knew what would happen after they got married, had children, and started a family.
In order to protect Su Weixi, Su's father and mother firmly opposed it. In addition, they also considered An'an Ningning. Modern knowledge is too advanced for the two of them. After being exposed to it, it is hard to guarantee that the mentality of the two children will change and resist the current world.
In short, the final decision of Su Weixi and the other two was not to tell the two little guys about the space. However, the three of them would try their best to provide them with a life with sufficient supplies and improve the status of the Su family step by step.
Of course, if one day it is really so unfortunate that the Su family encounters a disaster and has no way to retreat, they will be brought in for refuge.
