Chapter 13 The Maintenance of Stone Mines

Shi Lei was still a little hesitant, and he couldn't bear to calculate Song Qian, especially it was not easy for her orphan and widow to break into such a world today.

However, Shi Mu was soft and hard, Shi Lei finally made up his mind and agreed: "Then I will do what my mother said, if it doesn't work, we must not hurt their mother and son." ”

Shi Mu was full of joy when she saw Shi Lei agree, and before she could hear his words clearly, she promised again and again: "That's natural, you will go to her house tomorrow to help, so that she thinks you can rely on, and it won't be long before she can die for you." ”

This Song Qian is a widow who has been rumored to be indiscriminate, and she is entangled with others, and she must be struggling behind it to do such a big business with her children alone. At this time, if there is a man to rely on, he will definitely not be suspicious, and he will die to the ground.

With wishful thinking, Shi Mu seemed to have seen the silver of the white flowers in the future, and couldn't wait to let Song Qian enter the door.

Shi Lei looked at the cloudless and moonless night outside the window, and couldn't help but recall the picture of meeting Song Qian in the past. He sighed and let out a cloudy breath, and no longer wanted to add to his troubles, locked the doors and windows and fell asleep.

Next.

Because last night Song Qian promised Yuanbao to make buns for him today, and it took a long time for this dough to be very important, so it should be earlier than in the past, so as not to delay other times.

When the noodles were ready, Song Qian used pork and green onions to adjust the meat filling, and mixed vegetables with eggs to adjust the vegetarian filling. Everything was ready, Song Qian skillfully wrapped the buns and steamed them in the pot.

Yuan Bao is also very sensible, he got up alone before Song Qian called, and folded the futon for Song Qian, which made Song Qian full of relief and loved Yuan Bao even more.

Taking advantage of the interval between the ingots washing, Song Qian made egg drop soup and side dishes with steamed buns.

Yuan Bao saw that there were buns to eat, and he couldn't care about scalding and took a big bite, and praised Song Qian without hesitation: "My mother's cooking is really delicious, and it is the only delicacy in the world." ”

Song Qian, who was praised by Yuanbao's sweet words, was about to laugh like a flower, and after thinking of something, Song Qian got up and said loudly: "Changfeng, come and have breakfast!" ”

No one responded.

Song Qian thought that his voice was too small, and shouted again: "Changfeng, it's time for breakfast." ”

Still no one responded.

Song Qian got up and came to the courtyard to look around, and then looked around on the roof, but still didn't find any trace of Changfeng.

On weekdays, before she could speak, the long wind followed the fragrance and found itself.

What's the matter now, I can't even find a figure.

Song Qian thought about it all around, and suddenly remembered that it must have been something important about Ji Changye that called him back.

Then she was relieved, and she didn't think much about it, and went into the house to have breakfast with Yuanbao.

At the same time, Changfeng couldn't help but complain when he saw the people coming and going in the courtyard, he knew that Song Qian was going to make steamed buns this morning, and he thought about it all night, and he didn't want to be recalled by Ji Changye, and he was also arranged to do the drudgery of checking things.

Why is his life so miserable!

"Everything?" Ji Changye stepped into the hospital, and everyone around listened to the work in their hands and saluted Ji Changye.

Ji Changye waved them to get up, and the courtyard was once again filled with passers-by.

Changfeng also put away his resentment, his eyebrows and eyes were a little serious, and he handed the outlined list to Ji Changye, and said, "Master, everything you want is ready." It's just that some are so scarce that you can't find a few, not enough for what you have hand-picked. ”

Most of the things that Ji Changye wanted were very precious and scarce. It is rare for ordinary people to find these objects even if they exhaust everything, which shows how much money this Ji Changye used to find these objects.

It's just that Changfeng doesn't understand, what's the use of his own master asking for these?

Ji Changye just glanced at the paper and handed it back to Changfeng, Changfeng has been with him for many years and is already a confidant, so he can rest assured that he doesn't need to ask more.

"Now that it's ready, you will send this to Song Niangzi. If she refuses to accept it, she will say that it will be worth the silver taels of her desserts, and she will be asked to make more food in the future. ”

Ji Changye had heard Song Qian wanting to find these objects earlier, and he secretly remembered them in his heart. The laborers spent a lot of money to find it behind their backs, and waited until they were all ready and sent to Song Qian.

It's just that Song Qian has a clear distinction between public and private, and he doesn't like to be cheap. has never seen money because of his identity. If she sent these things so abruptly, she would definitely be afraid to accept them, so she found some excuses to stuff them for her, and she couldn't refuse.

Although Ji Changye's expression was indifferent, his tone did not fluctuate. But after Changfeng learned that what his master did was for Song Qian, he was ecstatic and responded to the errand again and again.

Ji Changye glanced at him with disgust and sighed secretly. What has this Changfeng learned by his side over the years, and he is so unstable?

Changfeng didn't care about this, so he took things to say goodbye to Ji and left for a long night and went straight to Song Qian's house.

And after Song Qian and Yuan Bao had breakfast, they were also ready to go to the dessert shop in the town. Recently, rumors have spread, which have affected the business to some extent, and Song Qian has to work harder to attract customers, so as not to ruin his past efforts.

Before leaving, Song Qian wrapped the bun in oiled paper and put it into a cloth bag that he sewed by himself. Fortunately, he gave it to him when he saw Changfeng, and it was convenient for him to take it to Ji Changye to taste.

"Mother, why don't we sell steamed buns in our shop?" Yuanbao's words made Song Qian chuckle, she locked the door and picked up Yuanbao and explained: "We are a dessert shop, and if we sell meat buns, we won't be called a dessert shop." ”

Song Qian suddenly stopped.

But the buns are not only salty!

She can make savory foods like quicksand buns and hot dog bread, and if they are paired with sweet drinks, they will definitely sell well!

Song Qian's eyes lit up when he thought of this. kissed Yuanbao's soft cheek and said, "Thank you Yuanbao, for the good idea for my mother!" ”

Although Yuan Bao didn't know what he said to make Song Qian so happy, when he heard his mother praise him, he also raised his chin and laughed.

And Shi Lei, who was pacing not far from the courtyard, heard the laughter of the mother and son, and his heart became even more nervous. On this scorching summer day, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He listened to Shi Mu's words and waited outside Song Qian's house early in the morning, so that he could escort their mother and son to the town, so as to gain Song Qian's favor. But in the end, he couldn't bear to deceive Song Qian, and was hesitating to step forward.

Song Qian walked out of the house with the ingots in his arms, and at a glance he found a stone mine not far away. Yuan Bao had a good impression of Shi Lei, so he beckoned and shouted: "Uncle Shi! ”

Seeing that Song Qian's mother and son had discovered themselves, Shi Lei had no way to retreat but walked over hard, pretending to be calm: "I didn't expect to meet your mother and son here." ”

But this is their doorstep!

Song Qian heard the flaws in his words, and saw that his expression was wrong and slightly flustered, so he guessed that he came here sometimes: "Brother Shi, what are you doing here?" Although. ”

Shi Lei once helped her beat away the thieves and get back the money bag. She always remembered this kindness, if Shi Lei really asked her, as long as it was not too much, she would agree.

Seeing Song Qian's serious expression, Shi Lei had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still believed Shi Mu's words, shook his head and said, "It's okay, Song Niangzi thinks too much." It's just that I hunted a few wild animals in the mountains a few days ago, and I went to the town to sell them today, and I happened to pass by your door and wanted to go along the way. How much more will you fathers and widows find thieves again? ”

What Shi Lei said is not unreasonable, now that Changfeng is gone, if something happens again, she has no power to restrain the chicken, and she will definitely not be able to deal with it with ingots.

"Then I'm going to trouble Brother Shi."

"Mrs. Song is polite."

The two walked together, which also attracted other people in the village to stop and watch.

Before Aunt Xu was sent to the prison by Song Qian, those words also spread to the village, and those who love to chew the root of their tongue couldn't bear it at the moment.

"Yo, isn't this the second mother-in-law of the Xu family?"

"The second child of the Xu family died on the battlefield early, didn't he look at the man next to him? Maybe this is the next home. ”

"This Xu family is still so rampant, it really doesn't abide by women's morals, and I'm not afraid that the second soul of the Xu family will come to ask for his life."

Song Qian's expression sank and covered Yuanbao's ears.

Shi Lei listened to these gossips, and saw Song Qian's appearance, and his heart was very distressed. Finally, he couldn't help but stop and said to the two women: "Shut up! Hugh has to talk nonsense again! ”

Song Qian stopped and looked at Shi Lei with a little surprise, he didn't expect him to defend himself.

The woman's mouth was so strong that she was naturally unforgiving, and she got up and said, "You two are innocent?" It's all maintained to such a situation, what kind of shitty things have you done that you can't let people say? Phew, if I were the old lady of the Xu family, I would definitely throw you into the river along with that wild seed. ”

Seeing that the two of them were excessive, Song Qian no longer wanted to swallow her anger, but before she could refute it, she was preempted by Shi Lei: "If I listen to the nonsense of the two of you again, I will!" ”

Shi Lei is a burly man, and he makes a living from hunting all year round, and always exudes blood. So after the fist was raised, the two of them were frightened, and they couldn't speak, so they pushed each other into the courtyard, not daring to provoke Shi Lei.

"Brother Shi, thank you for making you smile."

Hearing Song Qian's words, Shi Lei was stupid and only stumbled, but fortunately he finally spoke: "Where is Song Niangzi talking about this, these mothers-in-law love to spread some gossip, don't take it to heart." What's more, you and I are innocent, and we are not afraid of these things. ”

Song Qian couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart when he heard this, and it was the first time he heard a person standing in his own perspective and speaking for himself in this era.

"Brother Shi is an understanding person, and I also say something heart-wrenching. This widow and even a woman not only have to endure gossip but also be misunderstood everywhere, restricted in her free body, and cannot be justified by us. This is the result of those harmful ideas, and if these prejudices can be eliminated one day, women can also break through the world. At that time, everyone was equal, so why was the society distressed and not prosperous? ”

Just like the modern society she lives in, women can also make their own careers and become truly equal and free.

But in this era, it is not easy to change the inherent feudal concept. Thinking of this, Song Qian couldn't help sighing, he couldn't help himself with his body, and he also felt pity for those women who had the same fate as him.

They are not as fortunate as themselves to have advanced ideas, so they can only be numb and slaughtered.

Listening to Song Qian's words, Shi Lei didn't know how to comfort him. Song Qian also realized it later, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Brother Shi, I was abrupt, let's go." ”

Shi Lei nodded and kept up with Song Qian's pace.

Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed, and the long wind that came with things was in full view. He looked at Shi Lei and found that he was the man who helped Song Qian retrieve his purse that day, and he immediately became vigilant.

This person is interested in Song Niangzi, and he must help the master guard Song Niangzi and prevent this person from succeeding.

Thinking like this, Changfeng appeared in front of the two without warning carrying something. Song Qian was surprised to see that he was holding so many things, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you take so many things?" ”

Changfeng did not respond to Song Qian, but rampaged between the two, separating them abruptly.

Yuan Bao didn't understand why Changfeng did this, so he asked, "Uncle Changfeng, what's wrong with your eyes?" There is obviously a road here, why do you have to squeeze between your mother and Uncle Shi? ”
