Su Fengmao and his wife were excitedly discussing the rice they were growing. Su Fengmao even smiled happily, looking a little silly. Su Binglan looked at her parents and smiled.
Their paddy fields grew well, and it was a good harvest. Her parents looked happier than if they made money. Su Binglan knew the villagers in this era valued their paddy fields more because some of the older villagers had experienced famine.
Having silver was almost useless in that era. Only with paddy fields could the villagers ensure they would not starve to death. Moreover, the price of rice was high during times of war. The villagers could not buy rice even if they had money.
Therefore, Su Fengmao and his wife could store more rice at home if they had higher paddy output. Then they would not panic during the winter especially. At least they could ensure everyone at home could eat their fill.
