There was nothing to do. Song Xintong learned that at noon, he could turn the handkerchief into a flower, but the chrysanthemum used to make props had been destroyed, leaving only a little flower heart.
At noon, there are two tables at home, one for song Xintong, Lu Yunkai, Lu Mu and twins, the other for Daya and Yang Shu, and the other for the two families behind the chicken house. They all sit on the big round table in the yard. Together, we have a reunion Mid Autumn Festival.
All the people in the workshop have returned to their homes during the holiday, so there is no one there for the time being. As for restaurants, they are even busier today, so song Xintong asked the chef to make a good table for them when they were not in class, and then asked the shopkeeper to send some festive gifts and red envelopes to the public early. Although there were not many, they were also very kind-hearted.
The restaurants in Lingnan are the same. On the day they came back, they also gave the shopkeeper a warning, and they also prepared some for Liu Zhuangtou in Zhuangzi.
Courtesy light affection heavy, so they will be eager to work for her.
Song Xintong is well versed in this way. Only when he has the advantages can he have the motivation to work.
The table is full of dishes, including braised fish, shredded chicken with cold sauce, white meat with mashed garlic, spicy prawns, Dongpo elbows, spicy diced chicken, pocket tofu... All of them are made by Wang. These dishes are not exquisite, but they are very delicious and suitable for family reunion.
Song Xintong was already hungry. When Lu's mother moved her chopsticks, she ate it impolitely. After lunch, song Xintong asked Cui's second daughter-in-law to take the rest of the meat and vegetables back, so that she didn't have to cook in the evening.
After Cui's second daughter-in-law left, song Xintong would look at Wang again, "Aunt Wang, are you going back now? I'll go with you. I've prepared some festival gifts for mother-in-law Qiu and the village head and their families
"Good girl."
In fact, these festival gifts should have been sent long ago, but because I didn't think of them when I came back yesterday, I had been learning tricks in the morning, so I sent them now.
It's rather cool today. There's no sun yet. It's cool all the way.
Wang sent song Xintong to Xie's house, and then went to the middle of the village with his things. The twins were the first to run in, "dog eggs, dog eggs."
Goudan'er ran out of the room without tears: "Dabao Xiaobao, don't call me goudan'er, call me my name."
"Barking dog eggs." Dabao can't stop laughing.
"It's ugly."
"Do you dare to hear the name your father gave you?" Aunt Xie came out of the room and asked song Xintong to sit in the room. "Xintong, sit in the room quickly, come here and have a good sun all the way?"
"No, it's not sunny now." Song Xintong went into the hall and put the basket on the table: "this is the basket that mother-in-law Qiu took mushrooms to her home yesterday. I'll return it by the way."
There was a cloth on the basket. Aunt Xie didn't notice what was in it or lift it. She moved a chair to the door and asked her to sit down. "Where's your mother-in-law Qiu going? I guess she'll be back in a while."
"Brother Dayi is not at home?" Song Xintong looked around and found that the yard was very quiet.
Aunt Xie poured a cup of tea for song Xintong: "they went to the restaurant to help, and most of them came back in the evening."
"So you didn't have a reunion dinner at noon?"
"Not yet. We'll eat it when Dayi and his second brother come back." Aunt Xie looked at Song Xintong's beautiful dress with a smile. "Oh, it's so handsome. It's more beautiful than the rich lady in the county."
"It's going to cost a lot of money, isn't it?"
"It's a cloth from Yunkai's friend. It didn't cost money." Song Xintong looks outside the hall. Dabao and goudan are talking. They don't know what to say. Goudan screams from time to time.
"Dabao must be telling goudan about what we've seen and heard all the way."
Aunt Xie nodded: "most likely, last time Dabao sent a letter to goudan'er. Goudan'er read the letter for a long time and told us what happened to you several times. Yesterday Dabao came back, he ran over. If he hadn't been urging him to come back at night, he would have to sleep in your house."
"Let him live, Dabao. They have a big yard and many rooms."
"It's not going to work." Aunt Xie looked at Song Xintong's stomach and said with a smile, "it's a lot bigger if you don't see it in January."
"Not bad."
Aunt Xie asked, "Xintong, I heard from goudan that you went to the birthday party of big families in Lingnan, and said those houses are bigger than our village?"
Song Xintong can't help laughing: "Dabao, what they say is too exaggerated. It's not as big as our village. It's just that the houses are so crooked that they walk for a long time. That's why they are so big."
Aunt Xie asked, "well, Dabao, they also said that those people are very kind."
"There are so many rules in a rich family that they can't be so kind. That day it was just a birthday party for the family, so they couldn't keep a straight face. That's why they felt so kind." Song Xintong chuckled: "aunt Xie, you don't know that they encouraged the family's CHILDES to go to the lake to catch mandarin ducks to eat. They almost didn't scare me. If they were other times, they would not be good."
"Will you be blamed for nothing?" Aunt Xie asked.
"It's not good. After all, ordinary people like us have no background. How dare we face up to these noble people? Even if we are beaten, we can only bear it." Song Xintong is still afraid when she thinks about it. If Jiang Mingzhao didn't treat Lu Yunkai sincerely, or Jiang's second wife changed to Jiang's mother or Jiang's miss that day, the twins would not have been better.
"Aunt Xie, it's better for our village. As long as we have some money and don't offend those powerful people, we can have a good life."
"Xintong, you're right. How dare we ordinary people fight with those people?" Aunt Xie originally said that she wanted to open a shop in Lingnan City, but now I think it's OK. Xintong has Lu Xiucai's friend to protect her. She dares to open a shop in Lingnan city. If it's her family, most of them have been opened, but I don't know who did it.
"I used to think it was good to do business at the wharf, but now I don't think it's any better. We ordinary people can compete with those rich people there. Ah... It's better for the village. If there are a few taels of silver in the village, we can not worry about food and clothing. It's better than running a shop early and coming back late, and we don't have to be scared."
Song Xintong listen to Aunt Xie's words, think aunt Xie seems to understand, "aunt, you don't want to open a shop?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but your mother-in-law Qiu doesn't agree. The business is not very good in the past two months..." aunt Xie sighed again, and her brows and eyes were full of sadness.
Song Xintong thinks that their business is not as optimistic as aunt Xie said. After thinking about it, he says, "Auntie, why don't you push a cart to sell it on the wharf like before? A bowl of stewed vegetables and a bowl of rice, two or three Wen silver, should buy a lot of people
She doesn't want to push it, but she wants rent for the shop and the cart. Ah
Song Xintong looks at Aunt Xie. She doesn't seem to have made up her mind. She doesn't say much anymore. After all, it's someone else's business, and she's not easy to get involved.
