Xu Qingye's grandfather, Xu Yuande, put his hands behind his back and said, "Grandma and grandma are so old, and they have eaten a lot of eggs in their lives. Just take the eggs you give us. We can't do without you."
Xu Yuande is the head of Lushan Village. He speaks with some authority. Perhaps because he is stronger than Hu, he looks a lot younger than Hu.
Aunt Zhang, who came along to help with cooking, was also delighted when she saw Song Yuntang.
"Your grandparents were looking forward to Qingye getting married. Now Miss Song has not only cured Qingye's illness, but is also willing to marry him. The old couple couldn't be happier."
The old couple of the Xu family had two sons and three daughters. Because Xu Qingye passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, his uncle's family also benefited a lot. At least they were exempted from taxes in recent years.
Annual taxes are the biggest expense for farmers. If they don’t have to pay taxes, life at home will be much easier.
Now that Xu Qingye's illness can be cured, as long as he is still alive, taxes can continue to be exempted in the future. Zhang is naturally very happy.
Jiang, holding a chicken in her hand, looked at Song Yuntang with a smile.
"Tang'er, take it. It's a gift from your grandparents." Then, with an apologetic look on his face, he said, "Qingye's aunt is a great cook. I was just thinking of asking your aunt to come help with the cooking, but your grandparents happened to be at your eldest uncle's house. When they heard you were coming, they were so happy that they wanted to come and see you. I hope you don't mind."
Song Yuntang waved his hand.
"No, no."
Although it was a bit sudden, Jiang was willing to explain to her instead of pretending to be dumb, which made her feel very good about her.
At least he is a sensible person.
"Then you guys chat first. Your aunt and I will go cook." Jiang handed the chicken to Zhang. "Sister-in-law, you should kill the chicken and duck. I'll go boil a pot of water and perm their feathers later."
"Row."
As Zhang said this, she went to the kitchen, got a knife, and started killing chickens and ducks.
Song Yuntang pursed his lips and wanted to tell them not to be so polite, but seeing how busy they were, he didn't know how to start the conversation, for fear of spoiling their interest.
Xu Yongwang also looked at Song Yuntang with a smile.
"Girl, I'm going to the kitchen to help your aunt cook. Just treat this place as your own home and feel free to do as you please."
Song Yuntang smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Xu Qingye's younger brother Xu Wencheng first went to the pigpen to put down the hoe. When he came out of the pigpen, everyone had almost dispersed.
When he saw Song Yuntang's face, the usually sunny and cheerful boy suddenly became shy.
He chuckled, scratched his head and said, "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Xu Wencheng, you can call me Ah Cheng."
Song Yuntang also greeted him with a smile, but his expression was rather unnatural.
"Hello."
"Are you a doctor, sister-in-law?" Xu Wencheng asked curiously, "How did you cure my brother? I've consulted many doctors before, but they all said they couldn't help. Sister-in-law is amazing."
Mrs. Hu, who was standing next to him, heard the boy asking irrelevant questions, so she walked up to him and pulled him into the house.
"Stinky boy, don't disturb your brother and sister-in-law here. Come on, go to the room with grandma and talk."
After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Xu Yuande who was still standing there stupidly.
"Old man, keep up."
"coming."
Xu Yuande reacted and hurriedly followed the grandfather and grandson out of Xu Qingye's house.
Song Yuntang pursed her lips uncomfortably and sat back in her previous seat. She glanced in the direction of Xu Qingye and nervously tugged at the hem of her skirt at her knees.
"Your family is so welcoming, I won't dare come next time."
It’s not that she doesn’t like it, but she was used to the quietness in her previous life and hasn’t gotten used to this kind of enthusiasm yet.
Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "After you leave, I'll ask them to be more restrained. They won't be like this next time you come."
Song Yuntang hurriedly shook his head.
"Don't ever say it's not their problem, it's just that I'm not used to it."
There was a layer of darkness in Xu Qingye's deep eyes, and he felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart.
……
Zhang helped Jiang prepare the meal and then went home. Before leaving, she took away the small bowl of chicken and chicken soup that Jiang had served her.
The lunch was very rich, with a chicken, a duck, a portion of pickled shallots, and a portion of slightly stale peanuts.
Even in a year of bumper harvest, this table of food is considered to be the best meal.
As soon as Song Yuntang came to the table, Jiang picked up a chicken leg for her and piled a lot of chicken and duck meat into her bowl.
Although the meal was not very comfortable, it was satisfying.
After eating and drinking, Song Yuntang was ready to return to town.
Although the task of painting and repairing the walls in the shop was handed over to the siblings Mu Dong and Mu Qiu, as the owner, she still had to go and take a look.
"Qingye, go to Erzhu's house at the entrance of the village and borrow an ox cart to send her off. It would be great if nothing happens to Yuntang, the girl, running on the road alone." Xu Yuande said.
There are many wolves, tigers and leopards outside. This girl is so beautiful that it is inevitable that some scoundrels will covet her.
Xu Qingye nodded, and before Song Yuntang could refuse, he stood up and left the yard.
Jiang took the basket of eggs that Hu had brought and went out of the yard with Song Yuntang.
"Tang'er, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on. After Qingye came back last time and said he wanted to propose to your family, your uncle and I prepared the betrothal gifts. However, your relationship with your family is a bit strained right now, so we've been hesitating whether to send the betrothal gifts to your family or to the town."
