After Song Xianyu agreed to let Song Jiatong go to Xiao Qiong's birthday banquet, she regretted this decision a little in her heart, after all, Song Jiatong at this time did not reach the state she idealized, once she was officially allowed to appear on this occasion, it also meant that Song Jiatong would really become one of Song Zhuang's several combat forces in the future, which was a situation she didn't want to see now, after all, she still had extremely high expectations for this great-niece. But the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to collect the water, and if Song Jiatong is not allowed to make a move, no one should be able to frustrate the spirit of this city lord, maybe they will really gradually ignore Song Zhuang's survival, and let the Qin family do this, it is not a good thing, maybe it is time to take the opportunity of the martial arts meeting to show the strength of the juniors of the Song family.

In the final analysis, Song Xianyu was worried about Song Jiatong's safety, and secondly, she was worried about her future, so after agreeing to Song Yan's brothers to let Jiatong fight, the old lady took out almost all the help she could give Jiatong in a few days, and finally gave her most cherished soft armor to this great-niece, which she herself has been reluctant to put on for decades. Song Jiatong was overjoyed, full of energy for five days of recuperation, and it was not until Xiao Qiong's birthday banquet that she left Song Xianyu's courtyard with Chen Su early in the morning.

There is almost no place in Songzhuang that Song Jiatong is not familiar with, after all, she grew up here, after listening to her aunt and grandmother's long instructions, she finally led Chen Su out of the courtyard, Song Xianyu has not left here for more than ten years, so she sent the two to the door, and she turned back. All the way to a small courtyard in the north of Songzhuang, Song Jiatong stood outside the wall and pointed to Chen Su, "This is my home, and my mother and I usually live in this place." So saying, she ran up and knocked at the door, and the heavy wooden door opened, and behind it stood a woman of great charm, whose forehead was a little gray, but the wind and frost could not hide her shocking face.

"Mother!" Song Jiatong shouted excitedly, and suddenly threw herself into the woman's arms, the woman didn't seem to react, but when she saw the daughter in her arms clearly, she stretched out her right arm and gently stroked her daughter's short hair, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, "Jiatong, you're not practicing with your aunt and grandmother, why did you sneak back?"

Song Jiatong kissed her mother on the cheek, "Mother, today is the birthday of the city lord, and my grandmother asked me to go to the city to participate in the birthday banquet." Song Jiatong didn't mention the marriage, she didn't want her mother to worry about it anymore, if she hadn't come back to visit her mother for too long, she didn't even want to talk about participating in the martial arts meeting, "Mother, I haven't seen you for a few months, right?"

"Heh......" the woman smiled bitterly, "It's your blessing to be able to practice with your aunt and grandmother, of course you can't come back to visit your mother every day." ”

"But we weren't far away, but my aunt didn't let me go out, but my mother refused to visit me. Song Jiatong pouted as she spoke, "Mother, you ...... with your father" Song Jiatong didn't continue, but glanced back at Chen Su, and said, "Hey, our mother and daughter are chatting, can you stay away first?"

Chen Su was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he was standing here, and it was a little inconvenient for Song Jiatong's mother and daughter to speak, "Oh." Chen Sumu nodded, looked around, and was about to leave, but Jiatong's mother smiled slightly, "Jiatong, why are you so rude, this child should have come with you, right?"

"Hmm. Song Jiatong tapped his chin, "He was found by his aunt and grandmother to accompany me to practice, and he will also participate in today's martial arts meeting with me." ”

"That's right. The woman smiled more kindly and said to Chen Su, "Child, what's your name?"

Chen Su was slightly embarrassed, "My name is Chen Su." ”

"Your surname is Chen, aren't you from Songzhuang?" the woman said, and immediately felt a little too much, "Look at me, why are you so rude, Chen Su, although I don't have anything good to entertain you here, why don't you go into the house and have a cup of tea." ”

"Mother. Song Jiatong pulled his mother's arm, "Don't be so polite to him, let him go around outside, I still have something to talk to you about, and when my father comes back, we won't have time to talk about it." After that, she looked at Chen Su, "Good brother, you help me watch your two uncles at the door, okay? If they come, you can help me report the news, and I will come out." ”

Chen Su couldn't figure out what was strange about this mother and daughter, but he didn't want to pay attention to it, so he nodded and looked at the direction of the Pinjin Grotto, since Song Yan didn't live here, then he must come from that direction, "I'll go to the front and watch, if the two uncles come, I will use my spiritual power to inform you." ”

"How can this be done?" the woman shook off Jiatong's palm, "how can you be left alone outside?"

"Mother, you just ignore him!"

"Auntie, thank you for your kindness, I don't care, it just so happens that I like to walk outside. ”

"That ......" The woman was embarrassed and dragged into the courtyard by Song Jiatong, Chen Su shook her head helplessly, and slowly walked in the direction of the Pinjin Grotto. The people of Songzhuang are really strange, the underground palace is splendid and overcrowded, and on this ground, Song Xianyu, an old lady, lives alone in a huge courtyard, and Jiatong's mother guards the small courtyard alone, and Songzhuang of hundreds of families does not see the slightest prosperity.

Chen Su stood alone outside for almost half an hour, only to see Song Yi coming slowly from the direction of the Pinjin Grotto, did not see Song Yan, he was a little hesitant to communicate with Song Jiatong, after all, their mother and daughter have not seen each other for many days, when Chen Su hesitated, Song Yi found him, as soon as he saw Chen Su standing alone at the entrance of the village, Song Yi seemed to have an understanding, and made a shushing gesture to Chen Su from a distance, and after a while he came to Chen Su's side, "Su'er, are you here alone?"

Chen Su nodded, "Is the second uncle also here alone?"

Song Yi smiled knowingly, "The eldest brother said that he still had to count the birthday gifts sent to the City Lord's Mansion, so let me come and pick you up." Looks like my aunt should have let you out early, right?"

Chen Su smiled and didn't answer, but glanced back at the direction of Song Jiatong's mother's courtyard, Song Yi sighed lightly, "Jiatong went to see his mother?"

Chen Su hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, and did not say more, nor did he ask more.

"Hey, my sister-in-law too, she just refuses to move to live with her eldest brother in the Golden Grotto, she doesn't look down on our business, and thinks that it is not the right way, so she would rather guard this courtyard here alone and live a hard life than spend the money that comes out of the Golden Grotto. ”

"Oh?" Chen Su didn't expect that Jiatong's mother was living here alone for this matter, "Second uncle, if the Pinjin Cave is really not the right way, why do you and the uncle still have to ......" Chen Su didn't know how to continue, since it was not the right way, even his family was against it, why didn't he go to the right road?

"Hmph. Song Yi smiled slightly, "The family business passed down from several generations, we have to rely on this to feed the people of the whole village, how can we change the status quo because of my sister-in-law alone, don't say that the eldest brother is unwilling, even if I am willing, I can't do it, so although the sister-in-law stubbornly persisted for more than ten years, and didn't even talk to the eldest brother, isn't it still like this now, the eldest brother has to run around for the survival of thousands of people every day, and the sister-in-law can't understand him, and finally suffers Jiatong who is caught in the dilemma." Jiatong, the child, is sensible, she persuaded both her mother and her father, but neither of them was willing to take a step back, so there was the current situation. Listening to what Song Yi said, Chen Su couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Song Jiatong, but recalling that he had never seen his mother, Jiatong was still much happier than him.

"Hey, let's not talk about that. Song Yi looked at the slightly dazzling morning sun in the east, "It's not early, we still have a lot to do today." Saying that, Song Yi smiled mysteriously, "Su'er, I'll avoid it first, and you can call Jiatong out." After saying that, he turned around and retreated to the outside of the village, and then glanced at Chen Su, and after waiting for a while, Chen Su was in good spirits and sent a signal to Song Jiatong.

After a while, Song Jiatong's agile kitten-like figure flashed out of the small courtyard, her mother did not follow behind, after seeing Chen Su, her figure flickered a few times and came to Chen Su, at this time she also saw Song Yi who was walking from the direction of Pinjin Grotto, and then muttered in a low voice, "It turns out that father did not come." Then he looked at Chen Su, "You didn't eavesdrop outside just now, did you?"

Chen Su looked innocent, "Of course not, otherwise how could I find out the second uncle so early?"

"Hmm. Song Jiatong nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you!" After that, she floated towards Song Yi like a swallow, and shouted loudly from afar, "Second uncle, why did you come, we have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Song Yi paced unhurriedly, watching Song Jiatong run closer, he said softly: "Jiatong, your father has some important things to take care of, let me take you two to Moji City first." Today is the birthday of the city lord, so we have to go there early. ”

"I know why my father didn't come, but I don't blame him, I can't control his affairs with his mother, I only know that he is my father, and she is my mother. After that, Song Jiatong smiled a little bitterly, "Second uncle, did you say?"

Song Yi responded twice in succession, "Jiatong, I hope you can revive our Song family as my aunt and grandmother said, and then naturally you don't need to count on the Golden Cave to feed the family, and your father and your mother will naturally have no contradictions, their feelings are very deep, but both of them are too stubborn." ”

"I know Second Uncle, I will work hard. Song Jiatong rarely had such a solemn expression, and it seemed that this matter had a lot of weight in her heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go. The golden glow of the morning sun sprinkled on the backs of the three of them, and they headed straight in the direction of Moji City.
