Chapter 199

In the afternoon, song Xintong sent the twins to school.

It's still early, so a group of five people walk slowly to the school. Along the way, the twins chatter incessantly and chase after each other from time to time. Song Xintong is so frightened that he is afraid that they will fall into the paddy field nearby.

"Be careful. Don't chase around the water. What if you fall into the water?" Song Xintong worried that although the twins have been raised a lot of body, but still can not stand the toss ah!

"Don't worry, girl. I'll protect the young master carefully." Nearly nine year old Yang Gao said with pride, "I can swim and save the young master."

"You can swim. That's amazing." After a pause, song Xintong stressed: "Dabao and Xiaobao are weak and can't touch the water. You can't take them to the water. Do you know?"

"Don't worry, girl. I know." Yang Gao said: "mother and I said, I will not take young men to."

"That's good." Song Xintong just led the four people to the stone bridge beside the stream, and saw aunt Xie coming from home with a basket on her back.

Aunt Xie also saw song Xintong from a distance and yelled at her.

"Thank you, aunt." The twins called, too.

"Is it going to school? I don't know if my dog eggs have gone. " Aunt Xie put the basket on the road and wiped her sweat.

"It's time to go." Looking at her posture, song Xintong must have something to say to herself. She turned around and told the twins to go to school first to avoid being late.

After they left happily, aunt Xie sat on the stone wall and kept fanning, "it's really hot today, but it wasn't so hot yesterday."

"Where's Auntie coming back?" Song Xintong sat on a bluestone beside her, just high enough to relax her legs.

Aunt Xie said, "I went to the wharf to see the shop."

Before autumn mother-in-law and she said, now listen to song Xintong is not curious, well a said: "that Aunt you look good?"

"I've seen a few, but the price is too high." Aunt Xie sighed, "the shop is much smaller than the one in the county, but the price is half as high. It's crazy to make money."

The wharf is just like the modern railway station. Of course, everything is more expensive. Song Xintong thinks so from the bottom of his heart, but it's not easy to show it.

"Aunt Xie, isn't it good to open a shop in the county? How do you want to go to the dock? " Asked song Xintong.

"Now many people have gone to the wharf to carry goods. There are fewer people in the county. I'm afraid our shop can't even earn the rent this month." Aunt Xie couldn't help pouring bitter water on Song Xintong: "if I don't think of any more ways, I'm afraid I'll be more sad later."

"I heard that all the shops on the wharf belong to that young master Jiang?" Aunt Xie asked song Xintong, "Xintong, do you think you can talk to Mr. Jiang and make the rent cheaper for us?"

Song Xintong frowned. No wonder mother-in-law Qiu said Aunt Xie was fascinated by money. If so, she would be more cautious in the future.

"Although Mr. Jiang has business relations with our workshop, he is also in business. In private, we have nothing to do with each other. I'm afraid that can't help aunt Xie." Song Xintong considered the words and refused aunt Xie: "I don't want to see any more. I heard that we will expand the wharf shops and warehouses in the future. Maybe there are more suitable shops."

"How long will it take?" At the thought of not being able to rent a suitable shop, aunt Xie's heart was burning with anger. "When the time comes, people will have a firm foothold. Where can we afford our place?"

Aunt Xie sighed and then said, "if I had known that there was such a fire on this side of the wharf, I should have planned earlier. Maybe I could rent your shop in Xintong at that time."

Seeing that Aunt Xie didn't seem upset because she refused, song Xintong was relieved. After all, the Xie family had been taking care of their family all the time. If it was really unpleasant, she would feel sorry at the bottom of her heart.

"After that, they won't rent. I'll tell Aunt Xie earlier." Song Xintong said casually.

"Good." Aunt Xie didn't take it seriously. After all, the shop of the Song family has been rented out for ten years, and the business of others is booming. How can it be that they can't return the rent?

At this time, a woman came to the end of the village with a basket on her back. She saw song Xintong sitting on the side of the stone bridge and said in a loud voice, "ah, the Song family is inviting us to a banquet. Where are you from the Xie family?"

Because of song Xintong, Xie's family had a feud with song's family. How could they get there? Aunt Xie said immediately, "we don't dare to go. In case of poisoning, what should we do?"

"It's right that you don't go. You didn't see it..." the woman put down her basket and sat down on the blue slate. "Really, I almost didn't laugh to death."

"What's the matter?" Aunt Xie came to the spirit, "Lady Cui, tell me quickly."

"You don't know, the dishes on the banquet, really..." the Cui family's wife Balabala said: "there are only five dishes, only one meat dish, and there are really some meat slices in it. There are eight people at a table, one at most, and some people haven't got it yet. Those dishes are not delicious. They are like pig food. They really kill people. "

"So bad?" Aunt Xie asked in surprise.

"It's not."

"Ha ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha, ha Aunt Xie turned her head and looked at Song Xintong: "Xintong, fortunately we didn't go. It's no use going."

"No, a lot of people are not full. They don't even have rice. They are all steamed bread with coarse flour." Cui's wife spat on the ground. "Which one is going to have a banquet like her? At least it's a feast for the scholar who passed the entrance examination. It's really embarrassing."

Then he pretended to be mysterious and said: "I heard that there is no silver, but I still have a swollen face to fill a fat man."

"No, I heard that Zhang Cuihua was on the riverside and said that she wanted to do it in a big way. I thought she could do it well. As a result, tut, it's really mean!" Aunt Xie's disgust was very obvious.

Song Xintong didn't say anything. No wonder Mrs. Zhang was so shameless that she asked for silver before. She didn't ask for silver from her. She did it like this. Ha ha, it's really mean.

If she praises Haikou, she has to make it more decent. It's a pity... A good scholar's celebration banquet is like this. It really deserves it.

Song Xintong was also gloating at the bottom of his heart, and then asked, "aunt Cui, is the banquet over there over?"

"I think it's still two rounds." Cui's wife laughed. "I looked at the food, but I didn't like it, so I took a few thick steamed buns and left. I didn't want to compete with others. I estimated that if I didn't want to cut pig grass, I would stay for a while."

Aunt Xie looked at Song Xintong's appearance, and then said, "let's go and have a look, too?"

Song Xintong thought about it. There was nothing left or right. He went there to have a look.
