Chapter 70: Small Factories
Song Xinshu also bought a pair of bracelets and a few accessories for Lin Guifen, and a hat for Song Liangmin, if Lin Guifen hadn't stopped her, she would have bought it.
The three of them were tired of shopping, so they stopped by the roadside stall and asked for three bowls of chaotic noodles and a bowl of roasted white.
In the past, when Song Liangmin came to Jinling City to do business, he was reluctant to order a bowl of the cheapest Yangchun noodles, and he could eat the dry food he brought to cover a meal, which was really a luxury this time.
Lin Guifen saw that her daughter was so promising now, and a sense of pride rose in her heart, that is, there was one thing that had been hanging in her heart.
After the three of them had eaten, they returned to the North Jiangsu Tea House, Song Xinshu and his mother had not seen each other for many days, and they had a lot to say to their mother, so they stayed in Lin Guifen's house and chatted.
Lin Guifen pondered for a while, and still opened her mouth: "Xin Shu, Su Qing ...... it"
Song Xinshu's heart was stunned, she knew that her mother would definitely ask Su Qing questions, but she didn't know where Su Qing was now, she really didn't hear from her at all.
"Mother, Su Qing has his own things to do, and he will come back after he finishes it, you don't have to worry."
Lin Guifen said with a sad face: "But you are a woman's family, with such a big faΓ§ade, in case something happens......"
Song Xinshu comforted Lin Guifen and said: "Mother, don't worry, I have also met a lot of wicked people during the time I opened the store, but fortunately, with the help of nobles, you can meet when you have the opportunity." β
Song Xinshu thinks that Zhang Guodong and Fan are his nobles, if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have achieved such an achievement now.
Originally, Song Liangmin and Lin Guifen planned to return to the village the next day, after all, there was still a lot of work to be done at home, but Song Xinshu insisted that they stay for a few more days and have a good rest.
Lin Guifen couldn't resist Song Xinshu, so he stayed in the North Jiangsu Tea House, and Song Xinshu stayed with his father and mother every day in addition to taking care of the business in the store.
Lin Guifen sat in the lobby of the tea house, watching the guests coming and going, sometimes the business was busy, and the guys didn't care about cleaning up the dishes on the table, Lin Guifen would go up to help clean up.
After the housekeeper saw it, he hurriedly ran over and took the dishes in Lin Guifen's hand, and said, "Old lady, you just sit down, how dare you bother you to do such a thing?" β
Lin Guifen was called "old lady" for the first time, and she didn't know how to respond for a while, so she could only put down the bowl and sit aside.
Just when Lin Guifen was about to get up to look for Song Xinshu, he saw a very luxuriously dressed person come in, and said to the guy that he wanted to find Song Xinshu.
The guy trotted all the way and went, Song Xinshu wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, and when he saw the arrival, he immediately greeted him and said, "Father-in-law, why are you here?" β
Song Xinshu hurriedly asked Yin's father-in-law to sit down, and ordered someone to bring tea and snacks.
Father-in-law Yin smiled and said to Song Xinshu: "I came on the order of Concubine Niangniang, since the last time the girl left, Niangniang has been thinking about the few snacks brought by the girl, saying that you can't eat such delicious snacks in the capital!" β
"The mother has won the prize." Song Xinshu touched his nose embarrassedly. "If my mother likes to eat it, I will order someone to make some now, and let my father-in-law bring it to my mother to taste."
Father-in-law Yin took out a brocade box from his arms, put it in front of Song Xinshu and said: "This is the mother's reward to the girl, our mother said, in the future, let the Subei Tea House deliver snacks to the palace once every half a month, every trick is a little bit, and the girl's good is indispensable." β
Song Xinshu was stunned for a moment, thinking, is this going to do business with the palace for a long time?
Anyway, this is finally on the side of the capital, and with this relationship in the palace, maybe my dream of opening a store in the capital can be realized as soon as possible.
Song Xinshu hurriedly agreed, and she had no reason or right to refuse.
Father-in-law Yin left after explaining some things, saying that every half a month, the palace would send a special person to pick up snacks, and then transport them back to the palace quickly.
After Father-in-law Yin left, Song Xinshu opened the brocade box, and there was a pair of gilt white jade earrings inside, which were very exquisitely made.
Song Xinshu picked one up and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, this kind of workmanship is probably rare in modern times, and this ancient skilled craftsman really can't be underestimated.
Lin Guifen also came over to look at it curiously, she never thought that her daughter would have a relationship with the people in the palace.
Song Xinshu saw her mother's ignorant look, so she explained to her mother what happened, and Lin Guifen knew about it.
Since it is something to be sent to the palace, it is natural that she can't be sloppy, and she said that she would take the snack in ten days, so she should prepare it from now on.
Song Xinshu made the most powerful dim sum chef in the store more refined every step, if something went wrong, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
After finishing the things in the store, Song Xinshu went to customize the same gift box as last time, and the things sent to the palace must be magnificent.
After doing everything, the sky had already darkened, Song Xinshu asked Ah Ya to help him brew a cup of milk tea, sat on the recliner under the porch and swayed gently, enjoying a moment of peace.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt that someone had put on a dress for her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Guifen sitting opposite her, and there was a bowl of longan lotus seed soup on the small square table.
Song Xinshu picked up the bowl in surprise, took a deep breath and said, "I haven't drunk the longan lotus seed soup cooked by my mother for a long time, and I almost forgot what it tasted like." β
"I just saw that you have longan and lotus seeds in your kitchen, so I wanted to make you a bowl, who knows if those people won't let me do it." Lin Guifen said with some indignation that she always felt that these people didn't believe in her cooking skills.
"You're my mother, how can they let you do it, don't you want the monthly money next month?"
Song Xinshu and Lin Guifen glanced at each other, and they both laughed "sneering", very happy.
"Where's my dad?" Song Xinshu asked.
"Your father said that the river in Jinling City is beautiful, you must go and see it, my body is not as good as his, let him go by himself."
Song Xinshu looked up at the sky, even if someone was putting lights on the river, it should be over now, why hasn't Daddy come back?
Just when Song Xinshu was worried, Song Liangmin walked into the yard with a large handful of things, the sky was very dark, and when he walked into Song Xinshu, he found that Song Liangmin was holding a handful of wild chrysanthemums in his arms.
"You old man, what are you doing picking so many chrysanthemums?" Lin Guifen looked at the chrysanthemum in Song Liangmin's arms and said.
"You don't look like the yellow chrysanthemums that bloomed by the river when you were a child, and now you don't see them in the village." Counting Song Liangmin, he handed the chrysanthemum in his hand to Lin Guifen.
Lin Guifen naturally took it, put it under her nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "It's really very similar, even the taste is similar." β
Song Xinshu drank longan lotus seed soup, looked at the two people in front of him who recalled the past, and felt warm in his heart, no matter what time it was, as long as he was accompanied by his family, there was no difficulty that he couldn't get over.
After Song Liangmin stayed in Jinling City for a few more days, he said that he was going back, saying that he was not used to living here, but in fact, he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't get rid of the chickens and ducks in the yard at home.
Song Xinshu rented a carriage and prepared to send her father and mother home in person, and besides, she hadn't been home for a long time, so she still missed it very much.
The country roads in late autumn were paved with fallen leaves, and after Song Xinshu got off the carriage, it was as if he was stepping on a soft carpet, which was very comfortable and reassuring.
The courtyard at home was still familiar, and Ah Ya followed behind Song Xinshu and helped her hold a small package.
In such a small farm yard, the child's playful nature is undoubtedly revealed, teasing the big yellow dog at the door for a while, and chasing the rooster eating in the yard for a while.
The eldest brother and the second brother went to work in the field, so Song Xinshu rolled up his sleeves and made lunch with Lin Guifen.
When the sun climbed up, the eldest brother and the second brother also came back from the field, and when they heard the sound in the yard, Song Xinshu hurriedly ran out to greet them.
"Big brother, second brother, why did you come back, the meal is ready."
Song Huaishu and Song Caishu thought that it would be Lin Guifen who came out to greet them, but they didn't expect it to be this eccentric girl.
"Xinshu, why are you back?" Song Huaishu said in surprise.
"Why, my eldest brother still doesn't welcome me back?" Song Xinshu said mischievously.
"I wish you were living at home every day!" The three brothers and sisters walked into the room while talking and laughing, the food was already on the table, and a large pot of ribs in the center of the table was particularly conspicuous.
"Sit down, today we are reunited as a family, you all drink a little less rice wine!" Song Liangmin looked at the lively family, and was very emotional.
But no one mentioned the matter of the little sister of the Song family, after Song Xinshu sent the money home, the two brothers of the Song family once went to find the little sister with the silver, but the little sister said that she would not come back.
After all, Xiaomei is not the same child as before, and they can't force anything.
Song Xinshu saw the abnormality of everyone's mood, raised his glass and diverted the topic.
After the family finished lunch, Song Xinshu took out the clothes he bought for the two brothers, and wanted the two to try to see if they fit.
Song Huaishu and Song Caishu changed their clothes, cherished the same and gently scratched the surface of their clothes with their palms, looking at each other happily.
Song Xinshu looked at his two elder brothers, they were simply clothes racks, and such simple clothes on them all had a different feeling of being tall.
And the appearance of these two brothers is not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, white teeth, and because of a lot of work, their bodies are also very well-proportioned.
Before, because the family was poor and couldn't afford the bride price, the two brothers never married, but now that the family is having a better time, she should also think about finding a wife for the two brothers.
