Chapter 97 Mid-Autumn Festival is Approaching
On the other side, in Heilongjiang Province, in Hongqi Village.

The Su family has received the third letter from Su Nuannuan. Unlike the previous two, this time Su Nuannuan only sent one letter back.

The Su family breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, as they had been worried that Su Nuannuan would send more food.

It wasn't that they disliked food, but rather that they didn't want Su Nuannuan to spend money on it for them. Su Nuannuan was studying alone in another city, and they wanted her to eat and dress well, spending all her money on herself.

However, they also wondered if Su Nuannuan had run out of money because she hadn't sent any food. This thought made the Su family imagine Su Nuannuan scrimping and saving in the capital to buy them food. This thought made the Su family feel uneasy.

However, when the Su family opened the envelope and saw the ten large black ten bills inside, they were all shocked and their mouths dropped open.

They had already calculated in their minds that Nuannuan basically didn't take any money from her family after leaving home. Even if they sent her money, Nuannuan would send it back to them or buy other things to send home. They knew exactly how much money Su Nuannuan had.

Therefore, upon seeing the hundred yuan in the envelope, the Su family's first reaction was: Where did their daughter/younger sister get so much money?
However, after reading the letter, the Su family knew where the money came from.

Su Nuannuan told her family that she had translated two English articles. At a rate of 45 yuan per thousand words, she earned a total of 450 yuan in her first month.

At first, the Su family was somewhat skeptical, but when Su Daliang produced the receipts for the transaction between Su Nuannuan and Xinhua Library, they had no choice but to believe it.

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Is it really that easy to make money?

At that moment, everyone had the same thought.

Su Daliang, in particular, felt a little tempted after seeing that Su Nuannuan had made money through translation.

However, his most important task now is to get into university. Suppressing his thoughts, Su Daliang returned to his old self.

Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting were very proud of Su Nuannuan. They had originally planned to send some money over, but they never expected their daughter to be able to earn money on her own and even share her earnings with the family.

Thinking of this, both of them felt a sense of relief.

However, neither of them planned to touch the money Su Nuannuan had sent back. Right now, the family wasn't short of money or food.

A while ago, the villagers dug up some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and yams in the mountains. Su Jianjun initially thought they were grown by the villagers, but seeing the covetous looks in everyone's eyes, he realized that the crops in the mountains were not grown by them.

After consulting with the villagers, they dug up all the ripe grain from the ground. They weighed it and found it was more than three times the yield of the previous sweet potato harvest.

This made everyone in the village very happy. They tacitly agreed not to report the grain matter to the commune, but instead took it to the village's collective granary and distributed it on the spot.

Each household received a considerable amount of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and yams. These grains are easy to preserve, and the weather in Heilongjiang Province is no longer so hot. As long as they are stored in the cellar, they will not spoil even after ten days or half a month.

With this grain, the people of Hongqi Village no longer had miserable faces when they went to work every day.

However, knowing the harvest was poor, no one told anyone about the discovery of grain on the back hill. Not even her family members revealed it.

When Su Jianjun was organizing people to go up the mountain to dig up the grain, he noticed that some places in the mountain had been secretly planted with grain.

However, he did not make it clear.

In times of crisis, such trivial matters should be disregarded. For him, the lives of the villagers were of utmost importance; if they were to starve to death at home, he, as the village head, would not be able to live in peace.

Therefore, regarding the villagers' petty actions, he simply hinted that they should be mindful and not let others know.

Some people who secretly grew grain in the mountains didn't dare to meet Su Jianjun's eyes. His guilty conscience was obvious; no evidence was needed to tell he had something to hide.

Su Jianjun was speechless upon seeing this.

Thinking about the future, when the harvest is good, I must keep the villagers in check.

After receiving Su Nuannuan's letter, the Su family felt more at ease about her life in Beijing.

Beijing.

Since the start of the semester, Su Nuannuan has been in Beijing for almost a month. At the end of September, after her last class, it was time for the holidays. Instead of going home immediately, Su Nuannuan went to her dormitory.

Su Nuannuan originally wanted to go straight back, but Zhou Menglu told her to come to the dormitory after school.

Su Nuannuan thought there was nothing else to do, so she agreed.

Now, the four roommates are close friends. Even Sun Xiuhua, who was initially the most silent and insecure, has started to interact with everyone.

When Su Nuannuan returned, the other people in the dormitory had already arrived. As soon as she walked in, she heard Zhou Menglu's cheerful voice.

"Nuan Nuan, come quick, you're the only one left."

When Su Nuannuan entered, she noticed many mooncakes and pomegranates on the only table in the dormitory. The mooncakes were wrapped in oil paper and tied together with thin hemp rope. The pomegranates were arranged on the table, bright red and looking very tempting.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

Judging from this, Su Nuannuan knew without guessing that it was Zhou Menglu's doing.

Zhou Menglu stepped forward and pulled Su Nuannuan over, happily pointing to the mooncakes and pomegranates on the table.

"Look, this is my Mid-Autumn Festival gift for you. Do you like it?"

After Zhou Menglu finished speaking, Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua looked at each other, then at the mooncakes on the table. Neither of them spoke, but they focused their attention on Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan felt the eager gazes from her two roommates and sighed inwardly. She felt that although she was the youngest in the dormitory, she was the most mature.

Su Nuannuan glanced at Zhou Menglu, who was waiting for the three of them to praise her, and sighed.

Seeing that the three remained silent for a long time, Zhou Menglu said with dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Seeing Zhou Menglu pouting and about to get angry, Su Nuannuan quickly tried to appease her.

"Happy, of course I'm happy."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's answer, Zhou Menglu's lips, which had been curved downwards, turned up again.

After comforting Zhou Menglu, Su Nuannuan changed the subject.

"But these gifts are too valuable, we cannot accept them."

Seeing that Su Nuannuan had finally gotten to the point, Hong Xiu and Sun Xiuhua nodded together.

However, Zhou Menglu waved her hand dismissively and said...

"It's alright, my dad asked me to give this to you. Thank you for taking care of me."

Seeing that Su Nuannuan and the other two wanted to say something more, Zhou Menglu said impatiently.

"Alright, stop nagging. You guys divide these things up. I'm going to Haicheng during my vacation, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Zhou Menglu picked up her small white bag and left the dormitory, leaving Su Nuannuan and the other two staring at the mooncakes and pomegranates.

"Nuan Nuan, what should we do?"

Hong Xiu tugged at Su Nuannuan's sleeve and asked.

Su Nuannuan pinched her chin with her fingers and thought for a while before speaking.

"Let's split up."
