Chapter 529: The Hong family is coming
Zhou Li saw that Da Lang and Shengzi were driving the carriage to go back with them, and he understood everything.
"Big Rush~"
Zhou Dachong smiled, then looked at the mountains in the distance and said: "No matter how many things he has done, but now that he is only one person left, we can't ignore him." When Zhou Dachong said this, he was also mixed with a lot of helplessness.
There's no way, who let that be his old son, and his mother only gave birth to him.
"Good boy, it's hard for you." The fifth aunt still feels that Da Chong and his family are too kind, and they are cheap to that old man.
……
After August 15, the weather is even colder, and in this mountain, Yiqing knows what the real late autumn is.
Xie Wenan also quietly discussed with his daughter, "Sister Qing, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Daddy heard that the winter in the mountains will be colder." Sister Qing'er's fairy treasure land, can you grow some cotton. ”
In this era, the yield of cotton was not high, so the price was relatively high. Like in Songling County, ordinary people couldn't afford to buy cotton at all, and they really suffered in winter.
Yiqing listened to her father's words, of course, she strongly supported it. Soon after, the Xie family's shop sold a large amount of snow-white cotton.
Wang's mother came back from outside, and her eyebrows fluttered to tell her wife about the scene in her shop.
"Madam, didn't you see that the people who came to our shop to buy goods lined up from the door of the shop to the entrance of the yamen."
"How can there be so many people?" Tong didn't expect to have so many customers.
The old slave watched the excitement there for a while, and those people said that in previous years, the cotton sold in the Cao family's shop was thirty dollars a catty, and the cotton was not good. But this year, the cotton sold in our shop is only fifteen yuan a catty, and the price is half the difference. ”
Tong's family knows that these cottons are all grown in Sister Qing'er's fairy treasure land, not only the color is white, but the cotton wool is also long, and they are all good cotton.
But these Wang's mothers didn't know, she continued: "Those people are happy, especially those mountain people, they all shout that there is no need to pay taxes this year, cotton is cheap, and they can make a cotton coat for each child in the family." ”
Speaking of this, Wang's mother smiled, "There is a lady standing there worried, and everyone will know that there are six children in their family. In previous years, she didn't wear decent cotton clothes, and this year's cotton is cheap, so she came to buy cotton, but there are six children in the family, and these six sets of cotton clothes are also money. ”
"No matter how much money you spend, you can't let your child freeze."
"Yes! The lady gritted her teeth for a long time before she made up her mind to buy cotton to make eight sets of cotton clothes. ”
"How did you buy eight sets?" Linglong asked in a whisper.
"Silly girl, they also have to wear cotton clothes."
"Oops! Why are slaves so stupid? I didn't even think of that. Linglong covered her face and ran out shyly.
"I'm stunned all of a sudden, anyone will have it." Tong Shi hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the little maid.
But Linglong still ran into the kitchen, but she just didn't come out.
The Tong family laughed, but everyone didn't make a loud noise, for fear that Linglong would be more shy.
……
When Young Master Hong and his wife came to Songling, it was already late August.
The couple was instructed by their parents-in-law to come to Songling to visit them.
Hong San and Sister Wan had received a message from the family before, so they packed up the house early and waited for them to come over.
When I met, I found out that the couple came without children.
Young Master Hong, I haven't seen this younger brother for several months. When I saw it for the first time today, I was also stunned. He didn't expect that his youngest brother would change so much.
Not only has he grown taller, but his body has also become stronger.
"Look at this posture, it's really an adult who stands alone." Young Master Hong patted the third brother's shoulder and said.
I haven't seen my brother for a few days, and Hong Sanyi is excited and doesn't know what to say, so all that is left is "hehe" and smirk.
"He's been a little troubled these days." Hong San was embarrassed to say it, but Sister Wan was about to say it for him.
"Third brother, how can there be any trouble?" Hong Da Shao's grandmother Li is a careful person, she just listened to Sister Wan'er's words, although there is a joke element in it, but as the eldest sister-in-law, she still asked carefully.
"Sister-in-law, it's nothing, it's just that I just changed to a relatively boring position."
"Oh, what boring position?"
"Scribe."
This position was personally arranged by Xie Wenan for Hong San, after all, the two teachers and students were a teacher, and Xie Wenan still knew Hong San's ability quite well.
So not long ago, there was a vacancy for a scribe in the county office, and Xie Wenan named Hong San to replace him.
When Young Master Hong heard about the position of the third brother, he couldn't help but laugh, "You were the most reluctant to study at the beginning, but now you are a scribe in the county government, I told my father and mother when I went back, I guess my father and mother will laugh too." ”
After listening to his brother's teasing, Hong San had nothing to say, but he was thinking about it, when he talked to his uncle, he still liked to patrol the streets.
How good it is to patrol the streets!
Sister Wan'er, seeing that the eldest brother and sister-in-law were tired on their faces after the bumpy road, after saying a few common words to them, let them wash up and rest for a while.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you rest for a while, and I'll make dinner."
"Sister Wan, sister-in-law will help you cook!" Li asked for help.
"Sister-in-law, you can rest for a while, it's strange to be tired along the way." After Sister Wan finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and prepared to make dinner.
"I'll help you light the fire." Hong San followed behind Sister Wan and also went to the kitchen.
"Hmm."
After the young couple went out, Young Master Hong and his wife sat on the quilt and spoke: "Furong, I see that the third brother and the third brother and sister have changed a lot. ”
"Yes. It's only been a few months since I've been away from home, and I'm all looking like an adult. These days, it's Sister Wan who doesn't worry about our mother, and I look pretty good at this time. You can see how clean this house is, and you know how to take the initiative to cook for us, which is good. ”
"I think it's pretty good, too. Our mother is still worried that they will go hungry after they move out of the county office, and I look at the third child, how can I not look hungry. ”
"I'm sure I won't be hungry, Sister Wan is good at cooking, and she did it when she was at home. It's our mother who doesn't feel at ease. ”
"It's no wonder that my father and mother are not at ease, how old are the two of them? Especially Sister Wan, who is only fourteen this year. ”
"Who can be blamed for this? It's not that the third child is bold, so he makes his own decisions and stays in Songling. ”
"Alas, it's also ...... before, forget it."
The couple chattered for a long time, and when Sister Wan finished cooking, Hong San stood at the door and called them out to eat.
