The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Xu Qingye touched his nose.

"It took a few steps around."

Song Yuntang took a piece of chestnut cake and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, he instructed the people in the clinic, "It's closing time today. Everyone, go back after you finish your work. Changgen, remember to lock the door and watch the fire. Nian'er, let's go home."

After saying that, he and Xu Qingye went out first.

Song Yuntang held the hot water bottle and ate the chestnut cake in his hand while saying, "Why did you think of picking me up today?"

Xu Qingye held chestnut cake in one hand and walked side by side with Song Yuntang.

"I came back from Tang Mansion early, and since I had plenty of time, I came here."

Song Yuntang glanced in his direction, his expression the same as usual, no different.

"I've decided what to give Madam Yang."

Xu Qingye looked puzzled.

"what?"

She smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

Looking at the smile on her face, Xu Qingye's eyes were filled with doting.

When Mrs. Hu saw the young couple coming back talking and laughing, her face was full of joy.

"Qingye and Tang'er are back."

Song Yuntang walked into the yard.

"Are grandparents all right at home?"

"I'm fine." Mrs. Hu looked at the two of them and said, "Grandpa and grandma are planning to go back to Lushan Village tomorrow."

Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows, "So soon? We haven't even lived here for a few days."

Mrs. Hu waved her hand and said, "We've only lived here for four or five days. It's almost time. You're all busy, so I won't delay your work. It's all thanks to you that grandpa and grandma have the opportunity to live in such a nice courtyard in their lifetime."

The main reason is that I am unfamiliar with the place, unlike in the village where I have so many acquaintances. I can walk around and chat when I have nothing to do.

It's not fun to just sit here and do nothing. The key is that I have to take care of the children outside.

Song Yuntang pulled her.

"Okay, let Wencheng take you back tomorrow. If grandma wants to visit the county town later, ask mom and dad to bring you over."

Hu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

……

The next day, Xu Wencheng harnessed the horse carriage and sent several elders of the Xu family and Hu'er back to Lushan Village.

After the two cousins ​​from Uncle Song's side delivered the shampoo to the county town, they took the things that Fang Tianci asked them to bring to Song Yuntang to the clinic.

My eldest cousin Song Xiangming unfolded the bag.

"Tang'er, Fang Tianci said that this is something he collected according to your request. It's called sweet potato. Take a look and see if it's what you want."

Song Yuntang came forward, took a quick look, and nodded, saying, "This is what I want. Where did Fang Tianci collect it from?"

"He said that a caravan of merchants going to the south to do business came to the shop and ate there. They happened to pass by here, so Fang Tianci asked them about this thing. These sweet potatoes were brought back from the coast by those people." Song Xiangming said.

Song Yuntang nodded. There are ports in coastal areas, and fleets sometimes bring things that are not available on the mainland.

Fang Tianci is also a smart man.

Knowing that the caravan was well-informed, he asked someone to help find out.

It is the right person to entrust this matter to.

She squatted down and turned it over.

"Is that all that's in the bag?"

Song Xiangming shook his head and said, "There are still some. There are probably two or three hundred kilograms on the farm."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Then let's keep this small half bag. As for the rest, when my cousin returns to the farm, have someone dig a cellar and store the sweet potatoes there first. They won't freeze easily in the winter, and we can plant them next spring."

Song Xiangming responded, "Okay, I'll keep this in mind."

Song Yuntang thought about it.

"Also, my second uncle's cousin Fulai wanted to find a job. If the farm is short of people, you can ask him."

After what happened to Second Uncle's family due to Ma's misfortune, they are probably living in dire straits now.

Since he had come to ask for help before, Song Fulai seemed to be a good person. If they were short of people, it would be perfect to arrange him in.

It’s fine if Song Chang, the youngest son of my second uncle, lives here.

He doesn't seem like a person who knows what's good for him.

Don't cause trouble for her when you go to the farm.

Song Xiangming smiled and nodded.

"Okay, my sister-in-law and Fulai have been arguing with each other every day these days, and my nephew is often starving. My mother and Third Aunt can't stand it, so when we have time, we take the child home and let him have a full meal. It won't hurt if the adults go hungry, and the child still needs to grow."

Song Yuntang hummed, "Once he gets to work on the farm, he'll save a lot on grain. The price of grain in the county should have increased quite a bit by now, right?"

The smile on Song Xiangming's face disappeared.

"The price of brown rice has increased from 10 wen per liter to 15 wen per liter, which is the same as the price of white rice. The price of white rice has increased to 20 wen per liter."

Fortunately, they worked on Tang'er's farm, so they could continue to buy coarse rice from the farm at the price of ten cents per liter. Otherwise, with such high food prices and so many mouths to feed at home, their situation would probably not be much better than that of their second uncle's family.

"Is my dad's bean sprouts still for sale?" Song Yuntang asked again.

Second cousin Song Chengren, standing nearby, shook his head and said, "We haven't sold any vegetables in a while. The vegetables in the fields have started growing lately, and fewer people are buying them. Third Uncle only sends some to the wealthy families in town from time to time. Jinyuan has been accompanying his younger sister-in-law these days, and he's had no income, so his sister-in-law is always irritable to him."

Speaking of this, all the cousins ​​felt that it was inappropriate.

Liu was pregnant, and her family almost worshipped her. Before, they thought that although she was a little weak in appearance, she was capable of making a living. But after seeing Jinsheng working under Tang'er and getting better and better, they began to feel uncomfortable.

But she didn't want to think about it.

If she hadn't acted like a troublemaker in front of Tang'er, wouldn't Tang'er have made arrangements for them after the baby was born?

After all, he is my brother, how can it be so easy to let him go?

As for why Jinsheng can always work beside Tang'er, it is because he has been busy running around for her ever since Tang'er left home.

Song Yuntang nodded.

According to the date, Mrs. Liu is supposed to give birth this month.

But she was not very willing to go to Rongshu Village.

She thought that she would prepare a gift for her nephew and let Song Jinsheng take it back.

Say something to shut them up, and stay out of the way to keep your ears clear.

Otherwise, every time I go back, something unpleasant will happen.

"After you go back, have Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao ask my father if he's willing to go to the farm to work next spring. If Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao want to go, that's fine too."

"As for my eldest brother, let's talk about it after my sister-in-law gives birth. If he's willing, he can help me raise the chickens and ducks on the mountain. Now that Tu Shi is not on the farm, Uncle Qiao and Second Uncle Qiao will be busy with farm work next year. I'm afraid Aunt Miao can't take care of it alone."

Song Xiangming and Song Chengren nodded.

"to make."

They were also happy that their cousin was thinking about home.

Now that she has arranged work for Jinyuan, Liu should stop gossiping.
