After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 70 Cotton Harvest
“That’s right, we can see each other about once a year, so there’s no need to be sad,” Mrs. Han advised.

A woman's family follows her husband after marriage. Once she arrives at her husband's family home, she becomes part of his family. She can't just go back to her parents' home whenever she wants. Most women only return to their parents' home with their families on the second day of the Lunar New Year. At other times, they don't have this opportunity at all. As long as she can come back once a year, it doesn't matter whether she marries far away or nearby.

The three brothers thought about it and realized it made sense, so they weren't so upset anymore.

Now that everything had been agreed upon, Su Nizi wanted to hurry back to get the money to finalize the marriage. She couldn't sit still at all. Before leaving, she said to the Ye sisters, "We will stay in the village for a few more days until my daughter sees a doctor. You can take advantage of these days to sort out things at home."

The Ye sisters personally saw them off, saying, "The house we built for our brother is almost finished, and we should be able to put up the roof beam in the next few days."

Madam Han hurriedly said, "Once the beam is raised, the roof can be built. It will definitely be completed before you leave."

The Ye family's three courtyards are only half the size of the Su family's, and they have eight fewer rooms, so they will be completed soon.

The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces lit up with smiles.

As soon as Su Nizi returned to the Su family home, she told her husband and children what had happened.

Ke Zhengping blushed with nervousness when he thought of Chunhua he had seen that day, while Ke Zhengliang was overjoyed and jumped three feet high in front of everyone, urging Ke Dasong to give him the money.

Ke Dasong was even more excited than his two sons. He went back into the house and quickly took out a money bag and handed it to Su Nizi. "There are twenty-five taels in here. The extra five taels is a small token of our appreciation. We will also take a sheep over. After all, the Ye family has built a house and we can't come back to congratulate them anymore, so we're giving it to them in advance."

Su Nizi nodded, though she was reluctant to part with the extra silver and sheep, she still agreed.

The Ye family was overjoyed to receive the silver and sheep. Even the three Ye brothers, who were not very happy, were much happier. The fact that their sister's future husband's family was willing to give so much showed that they valued her, and that her life after marriage would not be too difficult.

After the marriages of the two sons of the Ke family were settled, the couple naturally turned all their attention to their daughter.

Seeing their impatient looks, Su Chunlin thought for a moment and decided to take them to the county town ahead of schedule.

Meanwhile, the ten acres of cotton that Su Tai planted in the Earth Time Space were finally ready for harvest.

The weather has suddenly turned quite cold recently. The cold winds coming from the ice fields are howling and howling. Even with the doors closed, you can still hear the "whooshing" sound of the wind, as if it won't stop until the people inside open the doors.

In this situation, she had to mentally prepare herself every morning before going to the kitchen. Wearing a heavy padded coat made it difficult to move around, and once she got warm in the kitchen, there was nowhere clean to put it. It was very troublesome. It would be different if she had a cotton-padded coat.

Because the need was urgent, she couldn't wait a moment longer.

Harvesting cotton is a skilled job; one can easily get pricked by the cotton bolls or thorns from the branches. Fortunately, the groundhog takes care of everything, so she doesn't have to lift a finger.

They also used professional harvesting tools, which not only harvested cleanly without any debris getting mixed in, but also did not damage the cotton. More importantly, the harvesting speed was so fast that Su Tai could see double images.

At this moment, she felt that spending a thousand coins a year to hire a groundhog was absolutely worthwhile.

The ten acres of cotton were harvested in a day and a night and then transferred to the Time-Space Gate transfer station.

Su Tai rented a scale and weighed the cotton. She found that about 800 catties of cotton could be harvested from one mu of land. The next step was to figure out how to turn the cotton into clothing fabric.

The media tool vending machine has all kinds of tools, including fully automatic looms.

The so-called fully automatic loom is not a single machine, but a combination of several machines, including cotton cleaning machines, spinning machines, and looms.

Simply pour cotton into the raw material inlet, and the machine will automatically run according to the settings, step by step, without knowing the quality of the finished product. Su Tai was eager to try it out and gritted her teeth, spending a thousand coins to rent a fully automatic loom.

A fully automatic loom requires 400 to 500 jin of cotton per run, not less than 400 jin and not more than 500 jin.

Su Tai first poured in 450 jin.

As the machine started running, her heart pounded so hard she forgot to breathe.

As the woven fabric began to emerge, she rushed over with lightning speed, grabbed a piece of fabric, and carefully felt the texture of the cotton. She was surprised to find that the cotton fabric woven by the machine was not only precise and thick without any lint, but also soft and skin-friendly, as smooth as silk.

She screamed with joy, and it took her a while to calm down.

The machine was weaving at a fast pace, but 450 jin of cotton was not a small amount. At this rate, it would probably take a while to finish. She hurriedly left the Time-Space Gate transfer station and excitedly rushed out of the room to find Shen Yi.

Shen Yi had just drawn water from the well in the vegetable garden to the kitchen when he saw Su Tai's excitement and couldn't help but smile.

Before he could even ask, Su Tai eagerly exclaimed, "Brother Shen, could you make me a table bigger than my bed?"

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow in confusion, "What's it for?"

"I want to make a quilt." Su Tai clenched her fist and produced a ball of cotton as if by magic. "Look, I'm going to use this to make a quilt."

"What is this?" Shen Yi stepped forward and took the cotton. He was shocked to find that it was as light as a feather and could quickly become fluffy again when squeezed into a ball.

Su Tai said frankly, "This is called cotton, and the cloth woven from it is called cotton cloth. I plan to make a quilt using cotton cloth and stuff it with this kind of cotton. You have to help me."

Shen Yi had a lot of questions, but he was used to it and didn't ask any more. He just readily agreed and went back to find the leftover wood from the house repair and started working immediately.

Seeing how quickly he moved, Su Tai felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and followed Shen Yi closely, asking, "Brother Shen, aren't you curious about how I got the cotton?"

Shen Yi stopped and turned back to give her a reassuring smile. "I have extraordinary qualities, and so do you. As long as you don't bring us any danger, that's fine."

Su Tai smiled even more brightly and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, it definitely won't bring us any danger."

As they were talking, the two went into the tool shed where the timber was stored.

At Su Tai's request, Shen Yi moved the work area to the eaves of the backyard.

The table was finished in about a day.

Since Su Tai had explained the purpose of the table, Shen Yi was careful to avoid damaging the cotton cloth on the tabletop, so he specially applied three coats of tung oil lacquer.

At this time, Su Tai had already consumed two thousand catties of cotton, and obtained four hundred catties of thick winter cotton cloth and five hundred catties of medium-thick cotton cloth for spring and autumn.

Su Tai is quite satisfied with this conversion efficiency.

With the cotton cloth in hand, the next step was to make the inner lining. The media tool vending machine also offered cotton quilt inner lining making machines, which cost 500 coins to rent, so she decisively rented one.

According to the introduction, the cotton quilt filling manufacturing machine can not only press cotton quilt fillings, but also press fillings of various shapes, sizes and thicknesses according to user needs. With this machine, many tedious processes can be saved.
