The next morning, just in time for the market day in the small town, people from nearby villages went to the streets to catch up with the morning market. When they bought what they should buy, they went home early to work in the field.
Song Xintong first went to the cloth shop to buy five pieces of cotton cloth, and there was no better cloth in the town. However, if she bought silk and fine cotton cloth, uncle Zhu would be reluctant to wear them. Of the five pieces of cloth, two are Turquoise black, two are blue, and one is light pink. Light pink can make beautiful clothes for young girls.
A piece of cloth can make several sets of clothes, and their family should be enough.
I went to buy some packaged cakes and sugar as a gift.
Song Xintong looked at these things, "what else do you want to buy?"
"Sister, are we going to have dinner at Uncle Zhu's today?" Asked Xiao Bao.
Lu Yun went to pick him up. If there was no accident, he would soon be able to work. Song Xintong replied, "it should be."
"Can we have rice then?" Xiaobao said, "I don't want to eat steamed bread any more.
As soon as Xiao Bao finished, he was stared at by Da Bao, "Mr. Zhu gave us all the delicious food. They ate black steamed bread."
Xiaobao also knows that he has said something wrong.
Song Xintong looked at Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, do you remember when our family couldn't afford to eat before?"
As soon as Xiao Bao thought of the days when he didn't have enough food last year, he burst into tears and nodded, "remember."
"Just remember." Song Xintong didn't scold them outside either. He told them to get into the carriage first, and then he said to Daya, "go to the grain shop in front of you to buy a bag of rice and flour, and then cut half a fan of pork, and deliver them together."
"Good." Daya immediately went to the front shop.
After she came back, song Xintong took a carriage out of the town and waited for Lu Yunkai on the roadside outside the town. After less than half a cup of tea, they also arrived.
When they arrived at Zhu's house, they were waiting at the door.
Mr. Zhu takes Yunkai and Mr. Song to the cemetery, while song Xintong greets Daya at home to move things in.
"Zhu ainai, I bought some cloth for you. You can make clothes for your aunt duck eggs. Here are some packages of sugar and snacks for them to chew when they are free." Song Xintong shoved sugar and snacks into the hands of Zhu's second and third grandchildren, and then took the contents outside,
Aunt Zhu's eyes widened when she looked at these things. "It can't be used. Why do you buy these things? Take them back quickly, take them back quickly."
Song Xintong hurriedly pointed to the rice grain moved down by Daya and asked, "Zhu Ainu, where do you put these things?"
"Why do you buy these?" Aunt Zhu saw that it was full of rice, noodles and meat.
Song Xintong said: "Zhu Ainu is like this. Don't I want to repair my grandfather's grave? Mr. Wang told us that it will take at least three or four days to finish the work. I want to borrow your kitchen these days, so... "
"What's the matter? Just take it and use it. You don't have to take it at home." Zhu said.
"How can that be? We have to cook three meals a day. We should buy these. " Song Xintong said, "I'll invite Zhu ainai to help me cook. I'm not able to work now."
Aunt Zhu: "don't worry, it's on us."
"I'm just interrupting your work." Song Xintong said apologetically.
Aunt Zhu waved her hand, "it's OK. Your uncle Zhu was very happy last night. He also drank a lot of wine. If he could help you, he was also happy."
"By the way, it's only half a day at most. Why three or four days?"
"We have carved a stone tablet for ah Yeh and ah Nai, and we need to rest the land. It will take some time." Song Xintong said.
"That's true. You're so filial. You've carved a monument." After thinking about it, aunt Zhu asked, "why don't you move the cemetery to Qingjiang County for your grandfather and milk?"
Song Xintong didn't think about it, but after hearing Mr. Feng Shui's words, he gave up the idea. As the saying goes, if you enter the earth, you will rest in peace. Unless the geomantic omen of that place is particularly bad, you may move the grave. But if you don't, try not to move there. If you disturb the peace of your ancestors, you will be punished.
Song Xintong thinks that's the same, and the land is not bad. That's it over there. When the time comes, it's the same to put the memorial tablet at home and often hold a memorial ceremony.
She said her thoughts to Aunt Zhu, and she nodded, "what you said is right, listen to you."
"It's almost time now. I'll make the meal first, and then my husband will be able to eat when he comes back." Aunt Zhu went to tie up her apron again. "What kind of food do you make?"
"Make braised pork. Just steam some rice." Song Xintong followed aunt Zhu into the kitchen.
Aunt Zhu found that there was no firewood in the kitchen. She turned her head and yelled to her grandson and granddaughter who were licking the sugar paper, "little chrysanthemum, you and duck eggs go to the mountain to chop some firewood. Hurry up, the house is almost gone."
"Well Duck eggs, they ran out immediately.
Song Xintong looked at it, and said to Daya, "Daya, you go too, chop a little more and come back."
Daya: "good girl."
"Sister, we also want to go." Just now, the twins heard that there are many pheasants in the mountain. They often find that pheasants are accidentally killed under the tree when they fly around, so the twins don't want to pick up pheasants.
"Go on, be careful." After Song Xintong told her, she sat in the yard and helped aunt Zhu choose vegetables. She felt that Aunt Zhu's family was a little like mother-in-law Qiu's family. They were very warm-hearted, really heavy and very good.
After sitting for a short time, a woman who was younger than Zhu went to the gate of the yard and kept looking in, looking at Song Xintong, "old lady Zhu, which relative is this?"
Aunt Zhu took a look at her, but she didn't answer. She directly closed the gate of the courtyard. Then she came back and said to song Xintong, "after you left yesterday, many people came to inquire about you, but Lao Zhu drove you away."
"I heard from Lao Zhu that they were the people who had told me that they didn't want to give milk to your father. Now that you've come back, I want to try to get in touch with each other. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"If it wasn't for your grandfather, their grave was behind the house, and they wanted to occupy their homestead. These people really have no conscience. Your grandfather saved them, and they blame you for not saving other people. It's so strange that your grandfather shouldn't take them to hunt in the mountains."
"This group of people is really eloquent." Aunt Zhu angrily scolded, "it's so kind that I can't repay them. I knew I would not save them. At least elder brother song, they can still live."
Song Xintong pursed his lips, and his face was calm.
