    Luo Jin’an looked at Baili Jinghua but said nothing.


    Baili Jinghua smiled and thought, ‘Major General Wei has changed a lot.’


    Luo Jin’an was carefree and bright in the past, like a breeze through the mountains. However, he became quiet and steady, with a hint of mncholy.


    He would reply to jokes in the past, but no one could understand his emotions now. Still, Baili Jinghua noticed Luo Jin’an was gentler whenever he was beside Su Binn.


    Perhaps after experiencing so many terrible things, Su Binn would be his salvation. One needed some woes in this world to have the strength to survive.


    Su Binn was familiar with Baili Jinghua’s liveliness, so she exined, “I asked him toe with me.”


    Baili Jinghua raised her brows and said smilingly, “Don’t assume I don’t know how much you love him. How could Jin’an bear to let you leave the house in the middle of the night?


    “He must’ve insisted oning along. Well, you two should go home quickly. I won’t keep you. I’ll take these sweet potatoes, thank you.” With that, Baili


    Jinghua closed the door and bolted it from the inside.


    ‘Ugh!’ Su Binn looked at her husband and said, “It’s freezing outside. Let’s go home.”


    She was worried that Luo Jin’an would freeze. After all, he had cold poisoning and could not stand the cold.


    Baili Jinghua was right. Su Binn did not want Luo Jin’an to apany her. It was Luo Jin’an who insisted. Su Binn also knew he was a stubborn person sometimes.


    Luo Jin’an looked down at his wife just as she raised her head to look at him. Luo Jin’an’s eyes were sparkling and charming. His eyes looked like misty clouds in the mountains under the moonlight.


    Su Binn moved her lips and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Luo Jin’an suddenly smiled, and his eyes were full of love. “You’re beautiful.”


    He looked particrly attractive when he smiled. No matter how strong Su Binn was, she still felt mesmerized at that moment.


    She suddenly realized what was happening and smiled. “Do you think so?”


    Su Binn never had much of a concept of her own appearance, even though many said she was pretty. However, it felt different when Luo Jin’an said she was gorgeous. Her heart felt like it was bursting with fireworks, and she was delighted.


    Luo Jin’an tidied up Su Binn’s hair and said, “Yes, I do. It’s getting cold. Let’s go home.”


    The night wind was intense and messed up Su Binn’s hair. Her face was also red from the cold. Luo Jin’an felt sorry for his wife and wanted to get her home as soon as possible.


    “Okay, let’s go home.”


    The couple walked home immediately after. Su Binn looked at her husband’s hand and felt like holding it. Perhaps it was because the sky was dark, the wind was too cold, or the moonlight was bright.


    However, before she could consider it, the two reached home after taking just a few steps. At that moment, Shen Qiuhua and the others had already eaten the roasted sweet potatoes.


    Seeing Su Binn return, Su Wenwu said, “Sister, the roasted sweet potatoes are too delicious. If we go to town to sell them, we can make a lot of money,


    After some thought, Su Binn said, “Roasting sweet potatoes are profitable, but it doesn’t earn much. Moreover, we can’t do too many things at once.”


    She had started with a small business because she wanted to take things one step at a time. Since she had earned more money, she wanted to open more shops to expand her business. This way, she could earn more money quickly and do many other things.


    “Also, I n to give sweet potato slips to the vigers next year. If every family nts the slips, they won’t go hungry anymore.”


    Su Fengmao was quite happy. “Binn is always thinking about the vigers and our vige. Everyone will be grateful to you.”


    When Su Binn went out, she put a piece of sweet potato on the charcoal and roasted it for Luo Jin i an to eat. She was worried that the sweet potato would get cold when she returned and would no longer taste as good.


    Although she was busy sometimes, she was still attentive to her husband. Su


    Binn put the roasted sweet potato on a small te and handed it to Luo Jin’an, saying, “Here, eat this”


    After that, she continued, “I don’t want everyone to thank me. I just think that the yield of sweet potatoes will be high, so many people won’t starve.”


    That was what Su Binn intended to do.


    “Still, I won’t give the slips away for free. When the timees, I will ask the vigers to buy the slips from me. I’ll charge them two copper coins per pound. They can barter with me if they can’t afford it.


    “It depends on the vigers if they want to trust me. If I were selling sweet potatoes outside the vige, I would charge others five copper coins per pound.


    However, I’ll only sell the slips during the first year, so I’ll count them as two copper coins per pound.”


    Su Binn still had many sweet potatoes for her family, but she wanted the vigers to grow their own.


    Liu Yinyin hurriedly said, “My mother also bought somend recently. She says she wants to nt sweet potato slips at the start of spring. My family can nt various sweet potato slips and use them to make more noodles.”


    Su Binn nodded approvingly and said, “That’s an excellent idea.”


    Luo Jin’an was shocked after hearing the two’s discussions. If the yield of sweet potatoes was really that high, and he could nt them throughout Dingzhou, it would make a significant difference to the people there.


    Fewer people would starve to death, and Dingzhou would have more grain reserves. It would be perfect for Dingzhou and its people’s stability.


    At that moment, Su Binn did not notice her husband’s bright eyes when she looked at him.


    Everyone rested after eating their roasted sweet potatoes because they still had work to do at the hotpot restaurant the following day.


    The business was booming over the three days because of the discount. Everyone had bright smiles, and the family would still count their earnings together.


    They earned a lot during the first three days but less afterward. Still, the hotpot restaurant was doing well because most who went there to eat were from wealthier families.


    Of course, many wealthy people were in town, mainly because Tenghe Town was close to the pier, and many relied on doing business to earn their wealth.


    Many others came and went as merchants passed by this ce and heard about the hotpot restaurant. Even they would go and have a taste.


    When the hotpot restaurant was on the right track, Su Xueye and his construction teampleted the tofu factory.


    Immediately after, Su Binn began to hire people to work there. The vigers knew what she would do, so they hurriedly put down their chores to apply after hearing the news.


    Since many could not read and could not fill in an application form, Su Binn decided to conduct on-site interviews.


    Everyone who went to apply was from the vige, so everyone knew each other. Su Binn wrote down each applicant’s name and asked them a few questions. Then she told everyone to go home and wait for her decision..
