"Dad, you, you're back."

Ah Xiu smiled and stammered a little when she spoke.

When did this man stand behind them, and did he hear anything?

She felt a little uneasy inside.

Song Ercai said "um", looked at the girl next to Ah Xiu and said, "I just heard Siniang say it." ”

Ah Xiu nodded, and introduced: "This is Du Juan, who used to work in the embroidery workshop at home." ”

Du Juan stepped forward and saluted, and shouted, "Master." ”

Obviously, he almost reached thirty, and he was inexplicably called old, so Song Ercai coughed, "Ah Xiu didn't mean that you have redeemed yourself from your own family, and in the future, if you call Ah Xiu at will, we won't use it." You can call me the shopkeeper Song, and Siniang can call her an aunt. ”

Song Ercai's expression was the same, obviously he didn't hear the conversation between the master and servant just now, but he felt that Du Juan was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

"Yes, old ......, shopkeeper Song."

Song Ercai nodded and left, Du Juan breathed a sigh of relief, putting aside anything else, he felt that the family was quite easy to get along with.

After eating at noon, Du Juan went out to find the chauffeur in the town and gave him more than a dozen dollars to bring a message to the shopkeeper Xu of Yuanminglou.

She got out of the car and asked about the newly opened fabric shop in the town first, and found the front of the Silk Jinfang.

That's right, Miss said she was going to take such a name.

Seeing that the door was closed, leaving only a sign and a palm-wide crack in the door, Du's mother stepped forward and patted it.

After a while, Lu Bao came out, opened half of the door panel and saw that it was a middle-aged woman, and asked, "Auntie wants to buy materials?" ”

Du's mother shook her head: "I, I'm Du Juan's mother." ”

"Oh, auntie, it's you, come in."

Lu Bao unloaded the door panel, and Du Juan and Ah Xiu, who heard the news in the backyard, had already hurried out to greet them.

"Miss!"

Mother Du saw the little girl in pink clothes, and the burden on her shoulders fell to the ground, so she squatted down directly and hugged her and cried.

When I saw Du Juan yesterday, Ah Xiu could bear it, but at this time, she also cried.

Du's mother watched her grow up, and she was the closest person to her mother, so that kind of relationship was naturally different.

The master and servant hugged and cried for a while, and the people in the backyard came out when they heard the sound.

Chang stepped forward and patted Ah Xiu's shoulder and said, "It's a happy event to be reunited, why are you crying." Quickly take someone in to rest and drink saliva, you must be tired enough to choke on the way. ”

Ah Xiu nodded, collected her tears and took Du's mother to the backyard.

The house above the town is naturally small and old, and Du's mother looked left and right, and her heart was sour.

Chang made a special trip to leave space for the two of them to be settled, and she led the others to continue working under the corridor.

Now that the sky is already a little dark, Lu Bao lit the lamp and sent one to the hall.

Seeing that there was no one, Du's mother grabbed Ah Xiu's hand and said, "Is Miss doing well here?" ”

Ah Xiu nodded: "You also saw it, I'm fine." You have to believe in the Bodhisattva, and there is nothing wrong with the guidance. ”

Mother Du bowed her head, approached Ah Xiu and lowered her voice again: "That little boy has not returned?" ”

When I inquired about the Song family in Hekou Town, all of them were done by the shopkeeper Xu, and Du's mother, like Du Juan, had never seen anyone at all.

"He's still in the academy, and he's probably coming back soon."

Speaking of Song Tian Axiu's face, a smile appeared on his face, and then he thought of the scar on his face, and explained a few words to Du's mother in a low voice.

Mother Du was much calmer than Du Juan, she nodded and said, "The old slave knows." ”

She doesn't care if it's hurt, as long as Miss is happy, since the accident at home, she hasn't seen the joy from the bottom of her heart for a long time.

After chatting about the same, Ah Xiu took her into the room where Du Juan and the others lived.

The space here is limited, everyone is crowded together, Du Juan and Chang Pingping live in the room without any furniture, fortunately, the place is big enough, and it is not a problem to sleep three people in the chase bunk against the wall.

Chang took the silver to Lu Bao, and asked him to go outside to buy a straw mat and quilt before it was dark, and by the way, he went to the butcher to see if there was any meat.

When Song Tian returned from the school, he knew that there was another person in the family.

She was a woman of thirty or forty, with a moderate figure, soft eyebrows and eyes, and she bowed when she saw herself.

The appearance of this salute is exactly the same as that named Du Juan, and Song Tian knows that she is Du Juan's mother without asking.

At night, Song Ercai also returned from the pharmacy, he looked at the woman in front of him, and then looked at Du Juan who was serving food, and finally remembered where he had seen them.

"Erlang, Erlang?"

Chang shook her husband's shoulder, saw him looking at herself, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Song Ercai came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

"And said it's nothing, the water is cold."

Chang handed him a cloth towel, and Song Er took it only to find that the basin of hot water used to soak his feet had cooled down.

He sighed secretly, wiped his feet clean, and said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to write something?" ”

"Hmm. I want to post a notice to the door, what do you think? ”

Now that they have the money and the hands they are familiar with, the matter of renting a place to recruit people can be put on the agenda.

Song Ercai thought for a while: "Maybe let's take a look at the people around me first, and then recruit outsiders when it's not enough." ”

"Someone around?" Chang Shi pursed his mouth, "How many people can be suitable around us?" If you want to talk about this errand, you will be given food and shelter, and each person will be given 500 yuan, and as soon as these words are released, those people want to come and do it when they break their heads. But I'm not happy, not to mention their dexterity, it's also troublesome for those acquaintances and relatives to manage, it's hard to say, it's not easy to scold, and it's not that I'm uncomfortable at that time. ”

Chang saw it clearly, and Song Ercai smiled faintly and said, "Then what do you plan?" ”

"I discussed it with Ah Xiu before, and it was all planned."

"Let's get three workshops, and each workshop has a manager of ten embroiderers. Then rent a yard around here, hire two handymen to cook, and in the future, Ah Xiu won't have to work with her, she just needs to prepare tricks. ”

Chang sat in front of the mirror and spoke, she seemed to see the grand occasion and future of the embroidery workshop, her expression was triumphant, and she couldn't stop smiling between her lips.

Song Ercai stepped forward to help his daughter-in-law pinch her shoulders and asked, "Butler embroidery, do you want Du Juan to do it with her mother?" ”

"yes. Skilled and experienced, the people sent by God, who will do it if they don't let their mother and daughter do it? Plus myself, when Pingping is ripe in the future, I can recruit people again......"

Chang's had absolute trust in the newcomer Du's mother and daughter, Song Ercai's expression was slight, thinking of the two portraits, thinking of the Zhuo family's stitching method mentioned by Master Cao, and the embroidery workshop that the He family had gotten, some things that were originally unrelated gradually became eyebrows.
