"Who's there?" Song Qingyuan shouted softly, and quietly held the stick beside him with his hand.

"It's me!" The voice came out, with a slight panic, and the owner of the voice obviously didn't expect that there would be people in the courtyard at such a late hour.

"Brother Da Lang?" Song Qingyuan was surprised and asked, "Brother Lang, ...... you this big night?"

With the faint moonlight, Song Qingyuan saw Da Lang's movements clearly, and it turned out that Da Lang was grinding noodles.

"Shh Da Lang raised his fingers, made a silent movement, and whispered, "Whisper ......"

Eyes glancing at the upper room, "Don't let the milk know......"

"Yuan'er, don't tell the grandmother ......" Da Lang looked at Song Qingyuan pleadingly.

Song Qingyuan walked over and asked, "Brother Lang wants to help the eldest aunt grind noodles?" ”

"Hmm!" Da Lang nodded unnaturally, and said in a low voice, "We can't help my mother during the day, my milk will be angry......"

"I thought about grinding it at night while everyone was asleep, so that my mother could save a little during the day."

The idea is very good, but unfortunately it is useless! Song Qingyuan shook his head, "Brother Lang, our family not only has this bag of wheat, but also the next bag after grinding." ”

"Even if everything at home is finished, the milk can also be ground by the aunt, such as cornmeal ......"

"That, that...... "Da Lang's eyes were red, "how much does it take?" ”

Song Qingyuan sighed, "Brother Lang, the key to the problem is not how much ...... to grind."

"Do we have any money to grind noodles?" Song Qingyuan asked.

"Not bad!" Da Lang shook his head, the conditions at home are quite good now. Even in the past, when the conditions at home were not so good, they were also sent to the mill.

"That's right, the milk let the aunt grind the noodles, not to save money, but to punish the aunt and let the aunt remember the lesson."

"As long as the eldest aunt corrects it and dissipates the anger in the milk's heart, the milk will naturally not let the eldest aunt grind the noodles again." Song Qingdao.

"How do you deflat, then?" Da Lang looked at Song Qingyuan as if asking for advice.

Song Qingyuan said with a smile, "You don't have to ask me about this, the eldest aunt knows how to do it......"

"Brother Lang grinds noodles in the middle of the night, the eldest aunt doesn't know......" Song Qingyuan affirmed.

"I don't know, my mother knows that she won't let me." Da Lang shook his head, his mother would only let him spend his time studying, and would not let him do such a thing.

"So Brother Lang don't do anything, what Brother Lang does will not only not help the eldest aunt, but being known by the milk will also aggravate the resentment of the milk, and it will ...... when the time comes."

Song Qingyuan didn't say the rest of the words, Da Lang already understood.

If the Zhou family knew about it, he would definitely punish the Sun family more.

"Yuan'er, thank you!" Da Lang opened his mouth unnaturally.

Under the moonlight, his fair face was slightly red from the cold, and his eyes were round and bright.

For the first time, Song Qingyuan felt that Da Lang was quite good-looking, and he was more responsible than she imagined.

People, sure enough, can't just look at the surface.

............

When I got up in the morning and had breakfast, Zhou took the Song family to start sweeping the dust.

Today, it was Song Chengyi's turn to deliver the goods, clean the yard, and the work of the roof fell on Song Chengli.

The things in the courtyard were put together properly, and the neatly arranged work was distributed to Erlang.

Zhou took his three daughters-in-law and cleaned the houses of each house.

Kitchen tasks such as cleaning pots and pans were left to the four granddaughters of the Song family.

Ye Shi helped a few people boil a pot of hot water in the morning, mixed the hot water with cold water, and washed it with a rag.

At noon, Da Lang, San Lang, and Song Chengzhong returned home and joined the ranks of the work.

On the twenty-fifth day, the school and private school were officially closed.

Giving New Year's gifts and buying New Year's goods have also been put on the agenda.

"Milk, I'll go to the county with my third uncle today to give Lu Mingxuan a New Year's gift, do you want to buy New Year's goods together?" Song Qingyuan asked.

The prefecture is more complete than the town.

"That's fine!" Zhou took out two taels of silver, thought about it and took out two taels, "These two taels are for New Year's goods, and these two taels are for you to give gifts." ”

Lu Mingxuan is the son of the county family, and the Song family is happy to see Song Qingyuan and Lu Mingxuan be friends.

"Milk, no!" Song Qingyuan refused, "You don't need to buy anything out of your way, just our dried vegetables, bean sprouts, and the remaining hawthorn slices." ”

"I'm getting some dried sweet potatoes, that's enough."

Song Qingyuan didn't say that the dried sweet potatoes were his own, Zhou only thought that Song Qingyuan wanted to buy them outside, and said, "I'm buying something else, big families, let's take less and it won't look good." ”

Zhou thought slightly, "Why don't you get a kick of pork?" It just so happened that our family had just killed the pig ......."

Song Qingyuan smiled, "Milk, their family is not bad for pork." ”

Zhou's face disagreed, "Whether his family has it or not is his family's business, and whether to give it or not is our family's will." ”

"Listen to me, get him some pork, you go to the village to catch a chicken, big families definitely don't raise chickens." Zhou Shi considered, "Why don't you buy a duck or a basket ......of eggs?"

"You're buying two boxes of good pastries, it's too bad for people to love it." Zhou instructed.

Don't have so much! Song Qingyuan said, "Then take another foot of pork, it happens to be at home, forget about the rest, sending something is also sending a heart." ”

The county commander's family lacks nothing, and it is good to express their hearts and minds about their own things.

"Milk, do you want to bring the New Year's gift from Master Qian's family with you?" Song Qingyuan asked.

Judging from the situation that Old Man Song wants to make friends with Master Qian, the New Year's gift must be given.

Zhou nodded, "Let's bring it with you......"

............

Hearing that he was going to buy New Year's goods, Shiro clamored to go, and the Li family was "not to be outdone", Song Qingmo, Song Qingmo's little face was full of expectations, and San Lang, who has always been obedient, wanted to follow and see.

"Let's go together, then?" Song Qingyuan asked for Zhou's opinion.

"If you want to go, go all......" Zhou waved his hand.

"Wow!" Shiro jumped up suddenly, and Song Qingmo also spun around like a little bee.

Saburo's serious face was full of smiles.

Li Shizi waited at the gate of the courtyard, waiting to get on the bus.

Zhou reminded, "Don't spend money indiscriminately! Don't buy what you shouldn't. ”

"Hmm!" Song Qingyuan nodded in response.

Song Chengli carried several large baskets onto the ox cart.

One basket of dried vegetables and two baskets of bean sprouts are the goods to be delivered.

A basket is a New Year's gift prepared for Lu Mingxuan, which contains a foot of pork, ten catties of bean sprouts, five catties of shredded beans, five catties of shredded eggplant, three catties of cucumber slices, five catties of dried potatoes, as well as a number of hawthorn slices, and a number of dried sweet potatoes.

Song Qingyuan took another ten pieces of soap, originally she didn't want to take soap.

The soap is gone, and Lu Mingxuan, a son-in-law, can't wash his hands with soap.

But thinking that the two were friends, and the soap was made by her, it was more or less a thought, so she decided to give the soap to Lu Mingxuan.

In the other basket is the New Year's gift prepared for Master Qian, which contains ten catties of bean sprouts and a total of ten catties of dried vegetables, and Zhou also gave Song Qingyuan two taels of silver and handed it to Mr. Song.

Let Old Man Song watch and add to Master Qian.
