Chapter 12: Good Days

Song Yaoyao inquired with the boss about the pastry shop in the city, and went all the way to pick up a good look and bought two catties, and went to find Daddy Song.

Father Song was eating lunch in the doorway, but he didn't expect his daughter to come to see her, so he quickly brought her in.

Father Song lives in a two-entry courtyard, with red walls and green tiles.

However, Father Song lived in the gatehouse of the gate, a swarthy room, with a wooden bed and nothing else.

Song Yaoyao looked sad, but Song's father said happily: "Our original shopkeeper followed his son to the capital, and there was no one living in this courtyard, so he asked me to come over and watch the house, and by the way, I could get 100 yuan a month." ”

Song Yaoyao almost cried, sniffed, and said, "Dad, I can earn money now, you quit this job, come home with me." ”

Father Song was taken aback, for fear that Song Yaoyao would do something stupid, so he hurriedly said: "Dad can still do it, the family is in a better situation now, in two years, Dad has saved enough money, and then he will tell you a good family, and marry you beautifully, don't do stupid things." ”

Song Yaoyao knew that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly told him about today's events, and took out the deed to show it to Daddy Song, and Daddy Song believed it.

Father Song: "You have this skill, why didn't you say it earlier, you have been bullied for so many years in vain." ”

Song Yaoyao said vaguely: "It's not a long time ago, I've read it in a book before, I studied it myself, and I tried to do it, but I didn't expect it to be done, and it was also God's favor." ”

Father Song's eyes were red, and he choked up: "It's God's favor, you are better than your father." ”

Song Yaoyao didn't want him to be sad, so he hurriedly said: "So, dad, don't work hard to be this husband, go home with your daughter, and your daughter will support you." ”

Father Song rubbed his eyes and said continuously: "Okay, good!" ”

Song Yaoyao followed Father Song to see the steward, gave him a snack, and said with a smile: "Steward Xia, thanks to you for taking care of my father all these years, now that the family is better, I want to take my father back to enjoy the blessings, and trouble you to be accommodating." ”

Steward Xia was chubby, but he was quite kind, and said: "Old man Song, your daughter is very filial, it just so happens that the shopkeeper asked me to find a job for his brother-in-law, let him take over this job, and you go home to enjoy the blessings." ”

Song Yaoyao said a bunch of good things again, and the two of them said goodbye.

Song Yaoyao went to the horse market to hire a mule cart, went to the flower shop to get flowers, and then went to the grain store, and looked around, the best rice costs 12 wen a catty, the good noodles cost 10 wen a catty, the oil is 8 wen a catty, the sugar costs 20 wen a catty, and the salt costs 15 wen a catty.

Song Yaoyao bought 20 catties of rice, 20 catties of noodles, 10 catties of oil, 5 catties of sugar, 5 catties of salt, and asked the boss to wrap 2 catties of sugar, and spent 470 wen after the price was negotiated with the boss.

Father Song was distressed next to him, and persuaded Song Yaoyao not to be so wasteful, to save some money, Song Yaoyao smiled, but he didn't hear it.

Then I went to the cloth shop, the Song family was poor, and the clothes of the family were all patches and patches, and they were almost unable to look at them.

Song Yaoyao went in and took a look, the coarse cloth cost ten wen a foot, the fine cloth cost fifteen wen a foot, the cotton cloth cost twenty wen a foot, the slightly high-grade flower cloth cost forty wen a foot, and there were other silk or something more expensive, so Song Yaoyao didn't take a closer look.

Song Yaoyao didn't know how much fabric he needed to make clothes, so he counted the population of his family, and asked for ten feet of coarse cloth, ten feet of fine cloth, ten feet of pure white cotton cloth, two feet of blue cloth, and two feet of peach-colored cloth, and it cost another 590 Wen.

Daddy Song was distressed on the side, and he couldn't stop it, so he simply went back to the car, out of sight.

Song Yaoyao thought about it, went back to the dim sum shop to wrap two packs of dim sum, went to the pork shop to cut two pork belly, bought a big bone stick, and spent another 100 yuan.

After counting the nearly nine taels of silver on his body, Song Yaoyao returned home satisfied.

Along the way, Father Song couldn't stop chattering, there is money to save, to save, one or two silver is enough for the crops to spend for half a year, and this day will be spent, it is too wasteful.

Song Yaoyao was helpless, so he could only comfort his father, earning money is to spend it, and he will earn it only if he can spend it.

Although Father Song was distressed, he also had a smile on his face, and he also believed that the life at home would get better and better.

When they arrived at home, Song's mother and Dongmei were startled when they looked at the carload of things, and when they moved the things back to the house, Song Yaoyao explained the reason for the incident, but Song's mother still couldn't believe it.

"Just that small box of things you tinkered with, it's worth 600 yuan?"

Song Yaoyao said: "That's just the purchase price, and the shopkeeper Hu is going to sell it for one or two pieces of silver." ”

Dongmei also exclaimed: "Obediently, Miss Gongzi in the city is so rich, it costs one or two silver to buy a box of fat powder." ”

"It's not expensive, that box of powder can be used every day for a year, it's not expensive for those young ladies and gentlemen."

Song Mu and Dongmei didn't pay attention to these either, the two of them paid more attention to the present and asked, "What to do with these things." ”

Song Yaoyao said: "This meat is made into a dish, and the bones are boiled into soup, let's add dinner tonight." ”

When the two little ones heard that there was meat to eat, they screamed with joy.

"This cloth makes clothes for everyone, and cotton cloth makes underwear, and it does not rub the skin. The coats of the eldest brother, the father and the two leather boys are made of coarse cloth, which is wear-resistant. Mother-in-law, sister-in-law and mine are made of muslin, which is beautiful. This peach-colored troublemaker made me a coat to wear when I went into town. By the way, cut two feet of cotton cloth, two feet of fine cloth, two feet of coarse cloth and this piece of blue and that piece of meat, and the bag of dim sum to Sister Guilan, thank her for taking care of me. ”

With meat to eat and new clothes to wear, even the Lord of the Song family couldn't stop smiling on his face.

Dongmei carefully held her steps, touched the peach-colored cloth and sighed: "This cloth is so slippery to the touch, my sister-in-law must look good when she wears it." ”

Song Yaoyao smiled and said: "My sister-in-law likes it, I will bring a piece to my sister-in-law next time I go to the city." ”

Dongmei hurriedly shook her head and said: "Don't, don't, such a delicate step, doing work hooked and hanging, but it will be distressed to death, not practical." ”

Song Yaoyao nodded and said, "It's okay, let's save a little first, and when we have the money in ten days, let's rebuild the house." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole family was stunned, and Song Rong stammered: "Little sister, you earned this money, you better save it yourself." ”

Song Yaoyao knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Doesn't the eldest brother treat me as a family?" ”

Song Rong hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, that is, you shouldn't pay for building a house." ”

Song Yaoyao continued: "Then the eldest brother shouldn't have told me such an outrageous thing, can't I live in this house after it is built?" ”

Song Rong touched his head, not knowing how to answer, so he could only say embarrassedly: "I'm afraid you will suffer." ”

"As long as my eldest brother and father and mother are doing well, I don't feel at a loss."

In the evening, at the suggestion of Song Yaoyao, the Song family steamed a white flour steamed bun, stewed a pot of bone broth, and fried a large plate of pork belly.

Mao Mao and Yun Sheng still wanted to eat dim sum, so Song Yaoyao stopped her, she was afraid that the two of them would eat their stomachs, but looking at the two children looking at the dim sum with their eyes open, and they didn't dare to eat it, Song Yaoyao was funny and sad.
