The two stepped into the courtyard, and Ah Xiu, who was busy in the stove room, greeted him with a smile and began to serve the food.

Song Er only returned today, and even if it was not time to pay his wages, Hong took a few eggs out to add vegetables.

Song Hong went to the town, and he got rid of the big stone in the heart of the big house and the old couple, the Song family was happy on the surface, and the family atmosphere was rarely harmonious.

After dinner, Song Ercai made a special trip to call his son to the room to test his homework, compared to Song Tian's indifferent attitude in the past, he was much more serious at this time, and made a special trip to make a poem for his father to comment.

The change of his son Song Ercai heard Chang say that although he was a little inexplicable, it was undeniable that the arrival of the little girl Ah Xiu had indeed changed his son a lot.

"The mood of the poem is a little less, but it's also good for you."

Song Ercai was actually very surprised by his son's ability to write poetry, after all, he was still a child under the age of ten.

However, he has his own teaching methods, and he can't praise too much to make his son complacent, but also give affirmation to make him more confident and hardworking.

Song Ercai had a satisfied smile on his face, Song Tian nodded, and said softly: "Dad, my mother mentioned the matter of separating the family to me, if you can, I hope it will be as soon as possible." ”

I don't care about everything, and I actually took the initiative to mention this.

Song Ercai asked him, "Want to enter the school hall in the town?" ”

"Hmm."

She said that she was a top talent.

"I will."

Originally, he just wanted to test it tomorrow, but now Song Ercai made up his mind to speak directly.

After sending their son away, Chang entered the house, and the couple discussed the separation of the family carefully under the lamp.

Next door, Song Tian went back and sat at the desk pondering the poem just now, and Ah Xiu sat next to him, holding a small embroidery in his hand.

After a while, the stitches in Ah Xiu's hand were finished, she took off the handkerchief and unfolded it in her hand, and asked Song Tian: "Brother Tian, what do you think of this handkerchief?" ”

Song Tian was meditating, and when he heard the sound, he looked sideways, and saw a lifelike orchid flower on the pale cyan square handkerchief.

He had never seen such a beautiful orchid flower, the stitches were fine, the lines were smooth, the composition was staggered, and the most important thing was that the colors on the leaves and petals were gradual, and the feeling was natural, not like embroidered at all.

Song Tian was a little stunned, and took the handkerchief and put it under the lamp to watch it carefully.

"Ah Xiu, I thought you were learning to play. How to embroider this gradient color. ”

He had never seen this kind of embroidery, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Song Tian would definitely not believe it, this was much better than his mother's embroidery.

Ah Xiu smiled lightly: "This embroidery method is passed from the Jiangnan area, and some improvements have been made on the basis of the set of needles, which is more natural and smooth than the traditional needle method." ”

Ah Xiu pointed to the silk handkerchief and explained to Song Tian a little, obviously she was just a little girl who was less than ten years old, but when she talked about embroidery, she was determined and calm.

Under the orange oil lamp, one of the two little babies explained, and the other listened attentively.

But Song Tian listened to it for a while, but he really couldn't understand, scratched his head and said, "It's so beautiful, Ah Xiu is very good." ”

Those explanations were too professional, Ah Xiu smiled when he saw his confused face and didn't mention it again.

"Brother Tian, give it to you."

"Really!"

Song Tianle took the handkerchief like a baby.

The green cloth with dark green and white orchids, Song Tian was wondering if he had embroidered it for himself at the beginning, but he didn't ask.

At this time, when I got something, my heart was hot, and the tips of my ears quietly turned red.

"Ah Xiu, do you have anything you want?"

got someone else's things, and Song Tian wanted to return the gift.

Ah Xiu was slightly stunned, and when he understood what he wanted to express, he shook his head and said, "What is this, you are my brother, just embroidering a veil for you." ”

Cloth and needlework are all things at home, and she takes some time.

Hearing her call her brother, Song Tian nodded in agreement, stuffed the silk handkerchief in his arms and said, "When the family is divided, you will have a mouthful of brother, and I will take you to live a good life." ”

After all, he is only nine years old, and no matter how calm he is, he can't get rid of that childishness.

Ah Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, but when it came to separating the family, her smile fell instantly.

"Brother Tian, in fact, in addition to this stitching, I also know a lot of things in the embroidery workshop, including all kinds of fabrics and novel patterns. How about we go to the town and open a shop after we split up? ”

"How did you come up with the idea of opening a shop?"

Song Tian was a little inexplicable, although he was very envious of the shopkeepers in the town, and felt that the work was easy and he could make money, but he also heard his father say that if he didn't do well, he would lose money.

"It's nothing, it's just that I think you will spend more money on studying in the town in the future. This separation is not as simple as imagined, and the price is definitely not small. I just want to use my skills to earn some money for my family, so that I can have more comfort in the future. ”

The matter of the separation has not been mentioned, but it is undoubtedly a "bloody storm".

Ah Xiu didn't know what Song Ercai and Chang were going to do, but if the Song family nod, it would be impossible to do no good.

The idea of opening a shop was not a whim, she had thought about it before coming here.

Song Tian will take the road of the imperial examination in the future, and without rich money, he will inadvertently waste a lot of time.

Song Tian couldn't think of how much money would be spent on scientific expeditions in the future, but he had his own opinions on this separation.

"Are you worried about the separation?"

Song Tian asked her on the small desk.

Ah Xiu nodded, this is very important.

"You don't have to worry about this, Dad will take care of it."

"How?" Ah Xiu was a little curious, "Brother Tian, do you think that grandma and grandpa will ask for the separation of the family without penniling, or do you want everyone to hand over the money every month for the juniors to go to the town to study?" ”

If Song Hong in the town is separated, the economic source will be cut off, and this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen in the Song family.

If you want to split up smoothly, you must solve the problem of Song Hong's study.

But it was a bottomless pit at all, and there was more than one son in the big house.

Ah Xiu was a little worried, but Song Tian chuckled lightly after hearing this: "The days of coming here are not long, and you know your grandfather and grandmother quite well." But you don't have to worry about this matter, my father wants to split up, do you think he is just a whim and has no plan? No, he's taken the problem you mentioned into account and has found a solution. ”

Song Ercai became the shopkeeper not only because of his childhood fame, Song Tian was still young, and he didn't know much about his father, but he believed that he could do it.

"Brother Tian, do you know what the method is?"

Ah Xiu didn't know much about this family, but after Song Tian mentioned it, she also understood that Song Er had her own success.

Song Tian didn't know, shook his head and said, "Let's sleep first, we'll be clear tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

The lights went out on the west side.

In the back room, Hong was counting the copper plates under the lamp and still talking to Old Man Song.
