Chapter 74: The Festival
A female worker said to her with tears in her eyes: "Shopkeeper, I will follow you in the future, and I will do whatever you ask me to do." ”
The other female workers nodded in agreement.
Song Yaoyao comforted them a few words and asked them to follow Feng Liang to get their things.
When the female workers dispersed, Song Yaoyao took out a red envelope and handed it to Feng Liang, saying, "This is your red envelope." ”
Feng Liang took it, the red envelope was not big, and there was a bulging hard lump underneath, which made the red envelope a little deformed.
"Let's open it and take a look."
Feng Liang opened it, and inside was a piece of broken silver about two taels.
Feng Liang raised his head and said to Song Yaoyao: "Shopkeeper, I will follow you with all my heart in the future." ”
Song Yaoyao said with a smile: "Yes, I have spent so much effort to take you around to familiarize yourself with the business, if you run away, I will lose a lot." ”
Feng Liang suppressed his voice and said, "I won't run." ”
Song Yaoyao looked at him and said, "I know, go back and have a good holiday with your family." ”
Feng Liang nodded and went back.
Early the next morning, Song's mother returned to Shangliu Village, firstly to take Song Rong into the city for the New Year, and secondly, to give gifts to relatives and friends in the village.
Song Yaoyao also visited one by one with gifts, and visited those shops with cooperative relations, and it passed in one morning.
In the afternoon, Song Yaoyao went to the county office, and there was a lantern show in the county tonight, and the catchers had to go over to maintain law and order, so they didn't go home.
Song Yaoyao arrived at the county office, and the sharp-eyed official recognized her, and ran in with a smile to inform Xue Xingzhou.
Xue Xingzhou came out quickly, and when he went out and saw Song Yaoyao waiting for him, he remembered the sweet kiss between the two of them that night, and his heart instantly softened.
"Why are you here?"
"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I came to give you some moon cakes, thinking that you might still be in the Yamen, so I came directly. I bought this box, and this box was made by my mother, so you can give it to everyone to taste. ”
Xue Xingzhou took the moon cake and asked, "Are you going to see the lights tonight?" ”
"Mao Mao and Yun Sheng want to go, but you also know that Yun Sheng almost lost it last time he ran around, and my sister-in-law doesn't really want him to go to such a crowded place."
Xue Xingzhou looked at her and said softly: "It's okay, take the child if he wants to go, I will protect you." ”
Song Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, responded with a smile, and said, "Then you go to work first, I have to go out of the city to see Dr. Sun." ”
"No need, he's in the county office."
"Huh? Why is Dr. Sun in the county office? ”
"The county magistrate has had a headache recently, and the doctors in the city are helpless, so I will take Old Man Sun over."
"In that case, then Dr. Sun's moon cakes should be brought in for you."
The two made an appointment where to meet in the evening, and Song Yaoyao went back.
Dongmei was in the kitchen preparing things for dinner, and Song Yaoyao went over to help.
"Sister-in-law, is it still possible to have a full moon wine for the child?"
Dongmei was marinating meat and said, "Dad said that when the house is built, we will do it when we catch the week." ”
Song Yaoyao nodded and asked again, "Have you thought of the names of those two children?" ”
"No, my father drafted a few words, but I wasn't very satisfied."
"Also, the name is to be followed for a lifetime, so you have to be cautious, and you have to find a good word with a good meaning and loudness."
Dongmei smiled: "I just want them to be safe, and I can rest assured as a mother." ”
The two chatted and worked at the same time, and when the materials were almost processed, Song Mu and Song Rong also returned.
Yun Sheng hadn't seen Song Rong for a long time, so he happily threw himself on him from afar.
Song Rong picked him up and put him around his neck, and the two of them were playing in the yard.
Mao Mao watched obediently beside him, with envy on his face that could not be concealed.
Song Yaoyao sighed, she could give Mao Mao a living environment that was a hundred times better than before, but she couldn't make up for the father's love he lacked.
Chong Mao Mao beckoned, Mao Mao obediently ran over, Song Yaoyao touched his head, and said, "Mao Mao, is it okay to take you and Yunsheng to see the lanterns tonight." ”
Maomao's eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly, leaving that little worry behind for the time being.
Mother Song watched them play in the yard and took Dongmei to busy dinner.
Song Rong played with Yunsheng for a while, then put him down and went to see Daddy Song with Song Yaoyao.
Father Song has been cultivating for two months, his body has improved a lot, he can go out for a walk, and he is fatter than before, and his face looks full of meat.
Song Rong first asked about Father Song's body, and only relieved after knowing that his father's health was getting better day by day.
Father Song was also concerned about him and asked, "The work in the field has not been delayed." ”
"No delay, the wheat has been harvested and placed in the uncle's house."
"Did you buy the land?"
"I bought it, but the time was too rushed, I only bought five acres of paddy fields and twelve acres of dry land, and I hired someone to plant seeds in the past few days."
Father Song nodded and said, "They are all from the same village, and the willingness of people to come to help is also to look at the feelings of fellow villagers, don't treat others harshly." ”
Song Rong hurriedly said: "Dad, don't worry, in addition to wages, I also hired Chun Tao to cook for them every day, although the people in the village are a little envious, but there is no such thing as Li Wu." ”
Father Song was completely relieved.
In the evening, the family had a lively meal together, and Song Yaoyao repeatedly assured that Dongmei agreed to let Yunsheng go to see the lights.
Song Rong was not at ease and planned to go with him.
Father Song was not in good health and couldn't go too far, so Song's mother accompanied him at home, and Dongmei couldn't blow the cold wind, so she could only stay at home.
In the end, Song Yaoyao took Mao Mao, Song Rong took Yunsheng and went to the Lantern Festival together, and when they arrived at the agreed place, they saw that Xue Xingzhou was already waiting.
Xue Xingzhou brought up two lanterns, one was a little tiger and the other was a sika deer, and said, "It's interesting to watch, play with the two children." ”
Song Rong was in awe of his identity and was busy being polite to him, but Song Yaoyao naturally took the lantern and let the two children choose.
Yun Sheng hugged the little tiger, and Maomao kept looking at the tiger lantern, but seeing that Yun Sheng liked it, he took the sika deer and said thank you to Xue Xingzhou.
Yun Shengpi was very good, and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle." ”
was so frightened that Song Rong hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Xue Xingzhou with an embarrassed expression.
Xue Xingzhou didn't react, and even smiled faintly, and said, "It's okay, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." ”
Song Yaoyao looked at Yun Sheng grimacing there, and glared at him warningly, although she was thick-skinned and didn't care about this kind of little joke, but Yun Sheng, this kid, sold her with a lantern, and he hurt him in vain on weekdays.
Mao Mao secretly looked at Xue Xingzhou from the side, with a hint of imperceptible longing in his eyes.
Song Rong saw Xue Xingzhou waiting here and knew that the two of them had made an appointment, he didn't want to be a light bulb here, and he was afraid that his son would say something embarrassing, so he said that he wanted to take Maomao and Yunsheng to play.
A trace of disappointment flashed on Mao Mao's face, but he still obediently stood beside Song Rong.
Xue Xingzhou said: "No, Brother Rong will take Yunsheng around, if there is anything, go to the sentry post set up by the government, my brothers are there, I will play with Maomao for a while." ”
Song Rong listened and took his son to play.
