Ah Xiu's idea is naturally not as simple as a handkerchief and a purse.

Before the family had an accident, she was a pampered lady in the boudoir, and the family relied on the business of the embroidery workshop to be one of the richest families in the Jiangnan generation.

Chang thought that the little girl had some good ideas, but it turned out that it was just this.

"There are also a lot of big girls in the village who embroider handkerchiefs, but few of them are selected by the shops in the town, and most of them are used by themselves. Even if you are selected, it is just a little manual fee, you can't earn a few dollars, and it costs your eyes. ”

Chang didn't take it seriously, and whispered to Ah Xiu that she had a dowry and a private house in her hands, and she didn't have to worry about taking her to the town to buy cloth in two days.

Even if the Hong family didn't give her money, he could make two new clothes for her.

Ah Xiu looked at Chang's and stopped, thought about it and didn't mention it again for the time being.

As the sun set in the west, Chang gently wiped a little oil on his bun, took a look in the mirror and went to the yellow cypress tree outside the yard.

Zhou came back from cooking pig food outside, and saw the second family standing there dressed in fancy clothes, and secretly said, "The old man is not serious." ”

She was followed by the little daughter-in-law in the courtyard next door, and said with a smile: "Aunt Chang looks like an eighteen-year-old girl, and she is old there." ”

Secretly counted and was heard, Zhou also smiled: "Just kidding." The two of them are in love, but after so many years, they don't see a younger brother and sister for Brother Tian, which is a bit of a pity. ”

This is a turn to say that Chang's stomach is not angry and cannot be born.

The little daughter-in-law didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, so she kept her mouth shut.

At that time, Chang waited for a while and saw a figure in the distance.

It was a man who was not yet a young man, dressed in a blue-gray robe, with his hair tied to the top of his head with a wooden hairpin, and his appearance was handsome and elegant, and he could faintly feel a bookish atmosphere different from that of a peasant man when he walked.

He should have come from afar, with a small blue burden on his shoulders, and a little snack wrapped in dried lotus leaves and two catties of pork in his hands.

"Siniang."

Song Ercai waved to Chang from afar.

Chang's heart was overjoyed, and she greeted her husband from afar.

"Erlang, did you come back on foot?"

Her husband's breath was a little anxious, and Chang Shi took the things in his hand and asked.

"It's too late, and the ox carts are gone."

Song Ercai was afraid that his wife would say about him, so he told a little lie.

"Liar! From the town to the village, you are reluctant to spend two copper plates, and I am too lazy to care about myself when I am tired. ”

Looking at her husband's smiling face, Chang's heart ached and angry, he was too honest and honest, so he was reluctant to even sit in the ox cart with two copper plates, and he couldn't get the money back in his pocket, and he didn't hand it over to the public middle school.

"Siniang, others don't care about me, I still believe it. I don't believe what you're saying. ”

Song Ercai quietly squeezed his wife's hand, and after ten days of not seeing each other, the husband and wife looked at each other, with affection between their eyebrows.

"When I don't like you."

Chang blamed, turned his head and hurriedly walked forward.

Song Ercai smiled a little silly, and walked behind her.

Song Ercai returned home once in ten days, rested at home for a day, and set off for the town early the next morning.

When he returned home, he would bring something to the family from time to time, usually it was a candy cube that children loved to eat, and at the end of the month, when he was paid, he would take out twenty or thirty yuan to bring back a piece of pork.

Today happens to be the end of the month, which is undoubtedly a big day for the Song family.

Hong's money box has come in again, Chang's can see her husband who has missed her for many days, the children have small snacks to eat, and other people can also have a little oil and water in their mouths.

Hong was looking forward to it at the door of the hall, and she rarely smiled when she saw her son return home.

"Mother, are you okay these days?"

Song Ercai took half a tael of silver and more than 400 yuan, and he spent 32 yuan to buy meat, and handed over all the rest.

"Okay, okay, Ercai, my body is still tough."

Hong took the money with a smile, quickly pulled his son to sit and rest, and shouted to the stove room: "Ah Xiu, your father is back, hurry up and bring out the sugar water." ”

At the end of each month, when he pays his salary to the public middle school, Song Er will get a bowl of eggs and brown sugar water.

In the past, the Hong family would cook in person, but now that Ah Xiu is here, she will hand over this job.

Ah Xiu said "eh", and after a while, he brought a bowl of brown sugar water with an egg.

"Dad, drink it while it's hot."

Ah Xiu put the bowl on the table and smiled at Song Ercai.

She had met Song Ercai when she was in the town, and the couple came to Xi Pozi's side to pick her up together.

Song Ercai nodded, looked Ah Xiu up and down and asked, "Are you still used to coming here?" ”

"It's good, my mother treats me like a daughter, grandfather, grandmother, and two aunts and uncles, all of whom are good to me."

Ah Xiu's answer was appropriate, Song Ercai was stunned for a moment, then sighed and smiled: "That's good." ”

When I saw her for the first time, the little girl had a vague sadness between her eyebrows, and thought that she needed time to digest the changes brought about by the family, but she didn't expect to adapt so quickly.

Several people talked in the hall, and the old man Song and Song Dacai, who had returned quickly, also entered the house.

The men gathered to talk about the crops in the fields, and about the town's pharmacy, and soon it was nightfall.

As it approached dark, the juniors who had entered the private school returned.

Song Ercai has to test their knowledge every time he comes back, and this time is no exception.

Except for Song Kang, who was thinking about the bag of snacks, everyone else answered fluently, and Song Hong also took out an article for Song Ercai to guide.

"Second uncle, not long ago, when Mr. mentioned Baguwen in class, I made an article with the university's teaching topic, and asked the second uncle to help me read it."

There are four full pages of paper, densely filled with words.

Song Ercai glanced at it under the lamp, and wanted to say something, but when he saw his father and eldest brother looking at him expectantly, he smiled lightly: "I'll take a good look tonight, and I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow." ”

Several people smiled and nodded.

After a while, dinner in the stove room was ready, a plate of fried white peppers, a plate of potato chips, pickles and two noodles of cakes, and finally a plate of scrambled eggs.

Although there are more than a dozen chickens at home, they will only eat once when Song Er comes back, and the others are taken to the town for money, or saved for gifts from relatives.

Scrambled eggs that are rare once in ten days, and the men on the big table are all letting the four juniors. On the small table, the Hong family has already been divided according to the head.

Every time the Hong family, who is a little delicious, will act like this, if she doesn't distinguish between these mothers-in-law, she will have to rob it, how ugly it is, it is better to pick it up a little by herself.

The eggs that Hong took out today were the same as before, because of the arrival of Ah Xiu, there was one more head, and each person got a little less.

Song Qing saw that there were only two pieces left on the plate when he finally came to him, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he didn't feel like he was chewing those eggs in the back, as if something that belonged to him had been taken away.
