But fortunately, Liu only stayed for one night, and he will go back early tomorrow morning, so he can't make any waves.

The next day, Song Rong personally went to see off his mother-in-law, and Xue Xingzhou and Dr. Sun also came to say goodbye.

Song Yaoyao was reluctant and asked, "Brother Xue, didn't you say that you would celebrate the New Year together?" ”

Xue Xingzhou looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Doctor Sun and I went to visit a close friend, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”

Song Yaoyao didn't say anything, but it was difficult to hide the loss on her face, Xue Xingzhou saw that she was unhappy, and immediately changed her words: "I will definitely come back before the Lantern Festival, and we will celebrate the festival together when the time comes." ”

Song Yaoyao turned from sadness to joy and nodded and sent them away.

Entering the courtyard, Zhu Jingxing quipped: "Shopkeeper, you have a very close relationship with Xue Zhutou." ”

Song Yaoyao glanced at him coldly, and Zhu Jingxing quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't say anything incivil, don't say anything indecent." ”

Song Yaoyao ignored him, stepped into the backyard with his head held high, and went back to his house.

Her feelings are revealed today, in addition to the reluctance in her heart, there is another reason, probably because of the fact that she misses her relatives every festival, Song Yaoyao has frequently dreamed of her former relatives and friends in the past few days, and every time she wakes up, she can't help but feel lost, so she is particularly sensitive to this kind of parting.

Song Yaoyao took the needlework basket and went to the Dongmei House.

Lin Ying was coaxing the child as usual, and when she saw Song Yaoyao coming in, she hurriedly got up and saluted her.

Every time she is like this, Song Yaoyao will have a sense of shame that the landlord and old wealth oppress the poor working people, but Lin Ying has repeatedly taught her, and she can only let it go.

Dongmei's heat has long since subsided, but her spirit is still not good, she is groggy all day long, Dr. Sun explained before leaving, this is not good, people will be wasted after a long time.

So in order to cheer up Dongmei, Song Yaoyao touched a female worker for the first time, she planned to sew a few purses and give them to everyone, this will Song Mother and Song Dad took the child to relatives, the house is very quiet, it is a good time to do work.

Song Yaoyao explained the intention, Dongmei was also very face-saving and cheered up to accompany her for a while, Dongmei's female workers are better than Song Yaoyao I don't know how many times, and will embroider some simple patterns, Song Yaoyao saw that she seemed to be a little interested in embroidery, so she thought about when to find some embroidery pictures for her to see, and also saved her from being bored on weekdays.

For the next few days, Song Yaoyao stayed at home to learn from Dongmei as a female worker, but she also made a few purses.

Something happened to the Song family, and they have long been in the mood for the New Year, so this year's visit to relatives is very simple, except for the necessary ones, the others did not go, but they just gave a New Year's gift.

When the relatives heard this, they all came to comfort them, a good son, he said that he would fold, which was also embarrassing.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Song Yaoyao brought enough rituals, drove a carriage, and returned to Xiahuai Village with Maomao.

Although Mao Mao no longer has direct blood relatives in Xiahuai Village, Xiahuai Village is his root after all, and it is still necessary to come to the family.

The first stop was to go to the village chief's house, Guilan was nearly five months pregnant, her belly was bulging like a small leather ball, watching Xiao Zhu unload things up and down, and said busily: "Come on, bring something." ”

Song Yaoyao replied with a smile: "It's a festival, how can you come empty-handed." ”

Li Qingshan is also at home, but he is not a big man who is not easy to stick to the pile of women and children, so he chatted with Xiao Zhu on the side.

Song Yaoyao waited for a while and said, "What about the patriarch, aren't you at home?" ”

Guilan smiled: "I'm going to the field." ”

Song Yaoyao's eyes widened and asked in surprise: "What are you doing in the fields in this cold winter, there is nothing to do." ”

"Since the family bought the field, my father has to go to the field every day, and he hasn't come back yet."

Song Yaoyao heard her say this, and said busily: "Speaking of this, I really have something to discuss with you and Brother Qingshan this time." ”

Li Qingshan heard that he was looking for him, so he turned his gaze.

Song Yaoyao took out a palm-sized wooden box from the accompanying ritual and pushed it over.

Guilan took it for some reason, opened it and saw that there were two large silver ingots, a full forty taels of silver.

Guilan and Li Qingshan were stunned, but Guilan said: "Sister, what do you mean by this, forget about the New Year's gift, I will never accept the money." ”

Song Yaoyao hurriedly said: "Sister Guilan, you misunderstood, this silver is not for you." ”

"That's?"

"You also know that I made some money selling fat powder, I thought that since I took Mao Mao away, I naturally had to treat him well, the Li family's family property documents are in the hands of Brother Qingshan, this silver is an addition to my head, and I will buy some more family property for Mao Mao."

The Li family and his wife stared at each other for a while, and this time it was Li Qingshan who said, "This is not appropriate." ”

At the beginning, Song Yaoyao could be said to have taken over a drag oil bottle for nothing without asking for a penny, although the production in the Li family's field had their share, but so far Song Yaoyao has not asked them to ask for it.

That is to say, Mao Mao eats her all day long, drinks her, and asks her to pay for the property, and in the future, Song Yaoyao can only be raised by a child, in case Mao Mao and his father have a virtue in the future, Song Yaoyao is afraid that she will not even be able to get a pension, so it is not cost-effective for her.

Song Yaoyao knew that they were thinking, and said: "There is nothing inappropriate, Maomao calls me a mother for a day, and I have to plan for his future, if I don't ask, others will say that I treat him badly." ”

Li Qingshan sighed, as far as Li Dachang's virtue is concerned, Song Yaoyao's willingness to raise Mao Mao is already a great kindness, and the rest is love, not doing it is duty, no one can say no.

"Since my aunt is noble, I won't shirk it, but how to spend this money still has to be made clear."

Song Yaoyao nodded at the table and discussed: "I think so, Mao Mao is still young after all, these things can be done slowly, and there is no need to be in such a hurry, these forty taels can just buy five acres of good paddy fields." ”

Li Qingshan has been dealing with fields all year round and is very familiar with the price of fields, and said: "Five acres of good paddy fields are enough for a maximum of thirty-five taels, and forty taels is more." ”

This Song Yaoyao naturally knew, and said with a smile: "It's not much, the remaining five taels of silver should be regarded as a thank you fee, I don't have the energy to take care of these things, when the time comes, Brother Qingshan will come forward to see the amount of land, and this silver will be regarded as a reward." ”

Guilan said: "You are going to see the outside, what kind of money does the villagers talk about with such a good relationship." ”

Song Yaoyao shook his head and insisted: "My brother settles the accounts, and it is very fair to have one or two pieces of silver per acre of land." ”

This land is not bought and forgotten, and the management of everything in the future needs to be cared for, and no matter how good the feelings are, they can't stand up for many years, so the best way is that you contribute to me to give money, and everyone has to earn, so that it can last for a long time.

Li Qingshan hung his head and thought for a while, and said, "Then do as you say, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely take care of my own family's affairs." ”

Song Yaoyao nodded and said, "I naturally believe in Brother Qingshan's personality, but I have to trouble Brother Qingshan to find a reliable tenant." ”

Li Qingshan has already tenanted three acres of Maomao's land, plus the ones he originally had and the newly bought, he should be lacking in skills, and he has to find new tenants for these five acres of land.

Li Qingshan bowed his head and said, "This is nature. ”
