Su Jin and her mother looked over to them one by one. Everywhere they passed, people would avoid their eyes and stare at them angrily.
"Let's go. It's still early. It's enough time to return to town." Su Jin held her mother's hand and pulled the girls. Without looking back, she walked through the crowd and out the door. Not a single person in the entire stadium said anything to stop them, they only sent them off in silence.
They did not return the salute, nor did they take back their belongings.
The carriage was still at the door. The coachman was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, waiting for Su Jin to pay for the rental. Unexpectedly, Su Jin brought her family and got on the carriage again.
"This is the promised money." Su Jin put the rental in the driver's hand, turned around and got in the car, "Let's go back."
The driver saw her expression and tactfully didn't ask anymore. He whipped the carriage, turned it around, and left from the original road. Su Jin opened the curtain and looked back, only to see that the entrance to the house was empty, only snow was piled up on the ground, it was a mess.
On the way home, the family remained silent. After their younger brother and sister rested for a while, their mother walked into Su Jin's room, which hadn't slept yet. She sat on the bed and made a blanket for her.
"What's wrong?" Su Jin couldn't help but ask.
"Jin'er, I know I need you to deal with those people in the village, but your brother must go on the family tree. Otherwise, it won't be convenient for him to take Imperial examinations in the future."
"Do you want Second Brother to take the Imperial examinations?" Su Jin asked softly.
"Mm, of course. Our family is rich now, so we should also send stone to study. When we pass the exam and become an official, we will bring glory to our ancestors." Meng Qin revealed her plan.
"Why don't you ask your second brother?" Su Jin thought back to how her second brother had always taken those tools and looms very seriously.
"There's no need to ask. In the past, he didn't have the money, so he just wanted to send him to study some culinary arts. Now that he has these conditions, of course he has to take the examiners. This way, we'll be even better!"
She didn't know how it would be better, but this was something that all the commoners had been looking for for hundreds of years, so she naturally wouldn't stop. How awe-inspiring, just like a county magistrate. Last time, when he came to inspect the town, more than ten people had opened the way for him. If his son could do the same, then his life would not have been in vain, Meng Qin thought.
Su Jin was speechless.
"In any case, I have to put Stone's name on the family tree first." Meng Qin concluded.
"But they want us to hand over the loom." Su Jin said coldly.
"Jin'er, you're so smart, you'll definitely have a way." Mother took her hand and pleaded.
"When our family was on the verge of breaking down, it was you who came up with the idea to modify the loom. Now that our family has problems, we will have to rely on you."
His mother's hands were warm and dry. Although her words were rough, Su Jin's usually warm hands were held in hers and she felt that it had warmed up. She turned her head and looked at the worried and worried face of Pulp Farmer and smiled helplessly, "Okay, let me think of a way."
"Good, Jin'er is the best." Meng Qin's worry was washed away by Su Jin's promise. She turned around and carefully arranged the pillow for her, then said, "Jin Er still needs to settle some debts, so mother won't disturb you. Don't work so hard, go to sleep early."
"Yes." Su Jin nodded and watched her mother walk out of her room. She walked over and closed the door, then threw her head on the blanket.
She rubbed her forehead tiredly. She closed her eyes and thought back to everything that had happened in the Su Family Village today, as well as what her mother had said. She remained silent for a long time before exhaling a long breath.
"There's no helping it, it's hard to be an elder sister." She sighed. The tiredness of the past few days had finally come into play. She could not hold on any longer and fell asleep.
The next day, an unexpected person appeared in front of Su Jin's home.
"A New Year present for me?" She looked at the wooden box in front of her and asked the servant opposite her with a hint of surprise.
"Yes, since Miss Su has accepted it, then I'll take my leave first." The servant in the family uniform bowed slightly and left.
Su Jin picked up the box and went back into the house, opening the lid.
Inside the box was a box of porcelain jars. When he opened them, he found that they were all items such as rouge, water, makeup, and the like.
Why did the little landowner send them? Then, she realized that this was only the first layer, with a few more layers underneath. She moved the drawer away and found that the second layer consisted of a small set of ink and paper, then the third layer, which was filled with children's stuff.
She started to have a headache. She should give the little landowner some kind of gift or something valuable, but the landowner probably didn't care that much and would give her some cheap gadgets. Su Jin couldn't think of anything to give, so after thinking for a bit, she could only return the present with some homemade New Year stuff.
"These things look quite strange."
The little landowner hugged the thick bed and sat cross-legged under the porch, looking at Su Jin's huge pile of items.
The scattered items were scattered around the corridor. Some of them were made by Su Jin herself, some were modified by Su Jin herself, and some were made by her with a little energy.
"What is this?" The little landowner asked as he took his hand out of the sleeve and twirled a black circle.
"This, it's a rubber band. It's used to tie hair." Su Jin saw that it was a thick rubber band made by Number 1, so she explained.
"Leather tendons." Dai Zixian said curiously, reaching out with his other hand to play with it.
"That's strange. I just don't know how to use it." he said.
"I'll show you." Su Jin reached out for the rubber band and gestured at her hair.
"So that's how it is." He took it and removed the crown from his head. Then, he began to try to tie his own hair.
Su Jin saw his originally neat hair suddenly fall to the floor, curling into black silk. His hair was fine, black and smooth, and he seemed to have a good touch.
His slender fingers moved back and forth in his black hair, making it seem even more white and nimble.
"Yah." He suddenly let out a soft sigh. Su Jin looked over and saw that the result of her nimble fingers had only lasted for a few seconds. She didn't know how to bind it, but the rubber band suddenly popped out from her hair.
"Cough, I'm not good at this kind of thing." The little landowner coughed lightly and lowered his eyes as he spoke.
"I expected it." Su Jin said lightly.
Dai Zi Shi grabbed a strand of his hair and said worriedly, "What should I do now …"
Su Jin sighed and picked up the rubber band on the ground, "Let me do it."
