It didn't take long for the patriarch to come back, everyone had dinner, and the patriarch led Song Yaoyao and Mao Mao to the ancestral hall, where there was the tablet of Mao Mao's ancestors, and he had to go to worship.

Xiahuai Village is full of ordinary villagers, and the ancestral hall is not very spectacular, but it is a courtyard surrounded by three earthen embryo houses, which is not comparable with the blue bricks and green tiles in the TV series, and the luxurious version of the ancestral hall in the high court deep courtyard.

However, no matter whether it is luxurious or shabby, the rules are the same, women are not allowed to enter, and women with foreign surnames are not allowed.

Song Yaoyao watched Mao Mao incense outside the house, and bowed down, presumably if the ancestor had a spirit, he would definitely be able to feel his sincerity.

It may be that seeing that Song Yaoyao raised Mao Mao well, coupled with that generous New Year's gift, the patriarch was kind to Song Yaoyao along the way.

On the way back, he took the initiative to ask: "I heard Qingshan say that you want to buy family property for Mao Mao here, and you have a heart." ”

Song Yaoyao was a little flattered, and gave generous gifts to the Li family, in addition to Guilan's sake, but also because Guilan's father-in-law is the patriarch of the Li family, and Guilan's father-in-law is the village head of Xiahuai Village.

"Where, the patriarch is serious, it's not a big deal, just buy a few acres of land, and repair the house in a few years, if he can settle down in the city, it's better, if not, there is a way to retreat."

"Alas, Mao Mao Mao, this child has a hard life, his mother died early, and his father is that virtuous, that is, he met you, if he is someone else, alas, don't talk about it."

Song Yaoyao's mind was spinning fast, she had a question that no one answered, but she didn't dare to ask rashly, and it was the right time to open her mouth at this time.

"Patriarch, look at the current situation of the Li family, do you want to walk around with Mao Mao's grandfather's family, after all, they are also serious relatives."

Who knew that the patriarch snorted and said, "What are you walking around, I haven't come over there to take a look at it for so many years, don't mess with that family, when the time comes, you won't be able to shake off the flour with wet hands." ”

Song Yaoyao was stunned, does this mean that the two families have not been in contact for a long time? Why?

Song Yaoyao asked again: "Really don't use it?" It's not going to fall into the mouth, is it? ”

"No, they themselves broke off this relative regardless of their daughter's life or death, and others can't gossip about you."

It seems that it is another inexplicable grievance, since the patriarch has said so, Song Yaoyao is also happy.

After returning to the city in the afternoon, Song Yaoyao asked Zhu Jingxing to take Mao Mao back first, and he went to Xingwen Street slowly.

Song Yaoyao picked a bookstore, and when he entered the door, he saw a young man standing in front of the counter with his head propped up and dozing off.

Song Yaoyao coughed lightly twice, and the guy woke up slowly, yawned first, and then asked, "Guest officer, buy something." ”

Song Yaoyao nodded and asked, "Do you have a book of embroidery books, the kind that is full of embroidery patterns and stitch diagrams?" ”

The guy thought for a moment and said, "It's true, I'll find it for you." ”

Without waiting for Song Yaoyao to respond, he plunged into the pile of books in the back, dug for a long time, and came out with a book.

Song Yaoyao took a look, the book is not thick, the first dozen pages are all needle illustrations, it doesn't look complicated, it should be the basics.

The middle 20 pages are obviously much more complicated, but the formed pattern is indeed much more delicate, and it should be an advanced version.

The last few pages are full of text, talking about how to match pictures and wiring of various fabrics, which is concise and easy to understand, and easy to remember.

Song Yaoyao nodded, it is very suitable for embroidery lovers like Dongmei.

The guy looked at her reaction and asked, "The girl wants to teach herself embroidery?" ”

"It's just a little interesting."

The guy continued to sell: "If the girl is interested in embroidery, then I will recommend another book in addition to this book" Then he handed another book from behind him, and continued: "Embroidery only knows that the needle skills are not enough, and you have to be able to draw patterns, I just have a picture album for the girl's reference." ”

This book is much thicker than the previous one, and when I opened it, it was full of some tricks, although it was not complicated, but it was rare to have a complete range of categories and be vivid.

Song Yaoyao hurriedly said: "Not bad, yes, I want it." ”

The guy smiled and said, "What kind of girl, we also sell paper and pen paints, why don't we have some too?" ”

Song Yaoyao couldn't help laughing, this guy took advantage of the trend and was quite good at doing business.

"Okay, let's do it."

In the end, Song Yaoyao went back with two albums, a knife of paper, a set of pens and a box of paints, and the guy saw that she was generous and gave her an ink ingot and an inkstone, although it is not a precious thing, but it is very practical, and Song Yaoyao will come back next time.

On the way, Song Yaoyao went to the needlework shop and bought a set of embroidery needles and a bag of embroidery thread.

When she returned home, Song Yaoyao immediately went to Dongmei's house as if she were offering a treasure, Dongmei took her things, complained about her wasting money over and over again, and looked at the atlas with glowing eyes over and over again, full of duplicity.

But there was no other expression on her face except for the depressed color, and Song Yaoyao was afraid that she would get depression if she thought about it again, so she thought of a way to divert her attention.

Sure enough, with this set of atlases, Dongmei's heart doesn't hurt, her head is not dizzy, and she can't extricate herself from being obsessed with drawing all day long.

That strength is harder than Song Yaoyao's graduate school entrance examination back then.

At first, Song Yaoyao thought it was funny, and accompanied the painting for a few days, and after a few days, Song Yaoyao figured out something interesting.

On the way to embroidery, Dongmei is indeed talented, she has to look at the stitch illustrations for a long time to understand, Dongmei often looks at a while can be memorized, and learn to apply.

And with Song Yaoyao as a foil, Dongmei also found that she had a place that her sister-in-law couldn't reach, and she was full of a sense of accomplishment, and she was even more fascinated.

Mother Song saw it in her eyes, although she felt that she was not doing her job properly, but in the end, she was popular, and she was no longer in a daze all day long, so she went with her.

Song Rong will not have any objections, as long as Dongmei is no longer sick, she will go to the room to uncover the tiles Song Rong will happily build a ladder for her.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is getting closer and closer, and since the tenth day of the first lunar month, Song Yaoyao began to count the days with his fingers, looking forward to when Xue Xingzhou will come back to fulfill his promise and celebrate the festival together.

Finally, on the afternoon of the fourteenth, Xue Xingzhou came back.

Song Yaoyao arrived at the door with a surprised face, only seeing Xue Xingzhou dressed in black, but not Dr. Sun.

"Where's Dr. Sun?"

"Coveting the wine of a friend, and refusing to return."

Song Yaoyao's heart fell to the ground slightly, raised a smiling face, and said, "Go in." ”

Xue Xingzhou took out a brocade box from the side pocket of the saddle and said, "I'll give it to you." ”

Song Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, and took a look, it was a white hosta, which looked beautiful and expensive.

Song Yaoyao never cared about these things, but Xue Xingzhou always loved to give her jewelry, women are pleasing to themselves, and even more so they are accessories given by their sweethearts, so Song Yaoyao wears the jewelry he gave every day, Xue Xingzhou thought she liked it, and she was even more diligent, and her jewelry box was almost full.

Song Yaoyao raised his head and said, "It's beautiful, I like it very much." ”
