章 132: One With Each Other

Su Binglan looked at the surrounding furnishings and said, "You're right, Mother. We need to save the province too."

Shen Qiuhua nodded in agreement and said, "One has to earn and save money to live. Only then can one spend the money they saved. It's better to have some for a rainy day too."

Su Binglan understood her mother's thoughts. The people of that era were more conservative with everything, even their consumption. Many saved money and were unwilling to spend it.

Despite that, the villagers of Su Teng Village planted a year's worth of crops and only sold them during the autumn harvest so they could have some spare change. They saved as much as possible and only bought some goods during the New Year.

The New Year was a festive time, and adults and children alike looked forward to it because they could wear new clothes and eat new foods.
