These chili peppers had all been fixed and the deposit had already been collected. Now, they were just waiting for the chili peppers to ripen and they would pick them before taking back all the silver!

Su Li looked at him and smiled. “That’s only right. As long as you listen to me,

I’ll let you live a good life in the future.”

Su Ze nodded vigorously. He had liked to follow Su Li since he was young, let alone now.

Under Su Li’s watering of the spiritual spring water, the chili in the ground turned red.

At a glance, the red chili peppers were pleasing to the eye.

Because these chili peppers had already been ordered, Su Li asked Su Ze to inform the buyers and get them to prepare to collect the goods. She directly asked someone to pluck all the chili peppers. A portion of the fresh chili peppers was sent directly to the restaurant, a portion was dried chili, and the other portion was made into chili sauce.

When the villagers saw that Su Li had planted so many chili peppers, they were initially worried that she wouldn’t be able to sell them. Now that they saw that her chili peppers were in short supply, they all looked for her to sell them the chili seedlings. They wanted to plant them next year too.

Su Li was happy to see this happen. She smiled and nodded in agreement.

They were in a hurry to have a house to stay in as winter was coming soon. After everyone worked overtime, the house was finally built. The decorations inside were all done according to Su Li’s wishes. The furniture at home had been arranged in advance. They could move in after the house was cleaned.

He Yufeng looked at the date with the master and planned to choose an auspicious day to move into his new residence.

Coincidentally, this gentleman was Xia Hongyi, who had helped them look at their Fengshui previously.

Su Li raised her eyebrows and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so versatile. You look at both fengshui as well as auspicious days!”

Xia Hongyi stroked his chin smugly. “In our line of work, we have to know a little. Otherwise, how can we survive in the martial arts world?”

Xia Hongyi took out a book with a tattered cover. He flipped through it and said with a serious expression, “The third day of the next month is a good day. It’s suitable for a new residence!”

After saying that, he specially glanced at Su Li and asked carefully, “What do you think?”

Everyone looked at Su Li after he spoke.

Su Li couldn’t help but hold her forehead. She wasn’t a teacher. Why was he looking at her?

On the third day of the month, the sun was shining brightly.

Su Jidong and Jiao Yuying had both arrived.

There weren’t many people who had a good relationship with their family, and Su Li didn’t want to make things too troublesome, so she set up two tables and invited the elders of the village over for a meal.

Since it was winter, there was nothing else to do. Everyone in the village was free, and so was He Yufeng.

Su Li, on the other hand, was as busy as ever. She wanted to settle the matter of He Qingyao and He Qingmu going to school. Su Ze was not old, so she still wanted him to learn some knowledge too.

In the past, she would always be alone when she went out. Now, she has a sidekick—He Yufeng!

After what had happened previously, He Yufeng felt that it was too dangerous for her to go out alone. He had to follow her. If anything happened, he could take care of her.

Su Li had already rejected him many times, but it was useless. Her words went in He Yufeng’s left ear and out of his right ear, and he still followed behind her unwaveringly. Later on, Su Li couldn’t be bothered to scold him anymore. If he wanted to follow, she would let him.

The twelfth lunar month was also the day to prepare the new year’s goods. Su Li bought a lot of snacks and even bought a couplet from the Elementary Scholars’ stall.

The family cleaned the house. It was a new house to begin with, and after cleaning, it looked even tidier.

Su Li took out the red paper she had bought. He Qingyao and He Qingmu ran over curiously and asked, “Mother, what is this red paper for?”

Su Li smiled and said, “Shall we cut flowers together?”

“Flowers? Good, good!” He Qingyao and He Qingmu clapped excitedly.

Su Li picked up the scissors and deftly cut out a flower. Then, she cut out a few small animals.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu looked at her with joy in their eyes.

“Do you want to learn?” Su Li asked.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded vigorously.

Su Li held their hands and started teaching them.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu were also very serious. Their eyes were all on the paper. This was the first time they had cut a flower in their lives. They had to be more serious so that they wouldn’t disappoint Su Li!

The room was filled with warmth.

He Yufeng saw this scene when he came in. He stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to make a sound, afraid that he would accidentally disturb this scene.

“You’re back?” Su Li looked up and met He Yufeng’s gaze.

He Yufeng smiled and said, “Yes, I just sent a visiting card to Sir. He asked us to go over after the new year.”

When Su Li heard this, she smiled until her eyes narrowed. She said to the two little fellows, “You can go to school after the new year. Are you happy?”

When He Qingyao and He Qingmu heard that they could go to school, they stopped cutting the flowers. The two little fellows hugged Su Li in unison.

After a lively new year, their family even stayed up all night on the night of New Year’s Eve.

In the end, He Qingyao and He Qingmu could not take it anymore. They fell asleep in their parents’ arms with sweet smiles on their faces.

“This is their happiest year. Thank you.” He Yufeng said.

He didn’t expect Su Li to change so much. He didn’t want to get to the bottom of it as long as she was still her and treated the children well.

The corners of Su Li’s lips twitched, but she didn’t say anything. The things the Host had done were indeed too much. She didn’t look like their biological mother, but a stepmother. These two little fellows had also suffered a lot, but it didn’t matter. She would treat them twice as well in the future.

The chili business was getting bigger and bigger. Su Li let Su Ze do many things. She just focused on developing haircare products. The two children had also received the approval of the teacher in school. Every time the teacher saw Su Li, he would praise her and say that she had raised the children too well.

It was said that if there was no homework to complete, a mother would be kind and her son would be filial. When there was homework to be done, there would be a ruckus. However, this problem didn’t exist with Su Li at all. She didn’t have to worry about the homework assigned by the teacher. He Qingmu and He Qingyao consciously completed it well.

For the convenience of the children going to school and for her to do business, Su Li simply bought a courtyard in town. This way, they wouldn’t have to run back and forth.

“Here, here!” Su Li waved at He Qingyao and He Qingmu, who had just ended school.

“That’s my mother!”

“Our mother is here to pick us up. Isn’t she pretty?”

When He Qingyao and He Qingmu saw Su Li, they immediately started showing off to their friends.

Su Li chuckled when she heard their words.

He Yufeng heard her laughter and turned to look at her. Then, he laughed too.

When Su Li heard his laughter, she glared at him and said, “What are you laughing at? Don’t you agree with them?”

He Yufeng pinched her cheek and said, “No, I think they have good taste like me.”

Su Li glared at him. “Don’t bicker with me here.”

“Father, Mother, what are you talking about?” He Qingmu and He Qingyao ran over and asked.

Su Li smiled and held their hands. “I said you guys are so cute!”

He Yufeng also held their hands and walked home together.

Su Li turned around to take a look. The setting sun stretched out the shadows of their family of four, making the scene look really heartwarming..
