The next day, after Song Shu and Liu Cui Lan had left with the cart, the Song family stood in the courtyard fully dressed, waiting for dawn, except for Song Lin, who was crouching on the side with his head down.
Song Xiao sensed his elder brother’s angry breath and stayed in his room, afraid that if he panted too loudly, his elder brother would come in and beat him up.
There was a movement at the door and Xu hurriedly and quickly went over there. Song Ming’s daughter-in-law put the mint leaves she had picked at the door as usual and raised them to wipe her sweat.
“How about, how about I take it in for you?”
In order not to cause trouble on this side, Song Ming’s daughter-in-law had been leaving the mint leaves at the gate and hadn’t entered the courtyard even one step.
“Let Shen’er get it, he’s home today. ”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law was stunned again and couldn’t help but glance towards the courtyard, Song Shen followed him to the county every day to sell cold skins, how could he be at home today?
However, her eyes quickly withdrew her gaze and she lowered her head, “I’ll go back then.”
The mint leaves were getting smaller and smaller, and it had taken her a quarter of an hour longer than usual to pick them today, so if she didn’t go back to cook, Song Ming and her mother-in-law would scold her again.
After saying this, she turned her head and hurriedly left.
Xu and Song Shen worked together to get the mint leaves in, and when they saw that it was almost daylight, the family left the house and headed towards Gu’s village.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law hurriedly stopped at a haystack not far from the entrance to the house, bent down to take out the hoe hidden inside and carried it home at a fast pace.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law walked a few steps closer, and when Song Ming heard the movement, he raised his eyes and opened his mouth to scold, “You stupid, clumsy thing, just that bit of land, you go hoeing all day long, and you still haven’t finished hoeing it in so many days, I don’t know why I was blind and bought you back.”
He usually slept until sunrise, but today he was awakened by the commotion of Erma’s cooking, and his anger was not good.
Without saying a word, Song Ming’s daughter-in-law put the hoe away and went into the kitchen.
Song Ming scolded him some more and was about to go back to the house to take a nap when he turned around and seemed to see the family over there dressed up and heading out of the village.
He thought he was mistaken, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again carefully, but it was really the people there, all dressed as if it was New Year’s Eve.
Song Ming followed furtively and watched from afar as they just reached the entrance when a carriage stopped in front of them and the boy who jumped down he knew, the boy who was with Young Master Gu.
When they got on the carriage and walked away, Song Ming came out from the shadows and spat in the direction of the carriage. He thought that they really didn’t want that dead girl to be betrothed to the young master of the Gu family, but it turned out that they had already “secretly communicated”.
……
The reason they left early in the morning was because they thought that the Gu family might send a carriage to pick them up, and they didn’t want to owe this favor again.
But Xiao Si apologized one after another, “Old Lady Song, Old Master Song, I’m really sorry, when I was coming I suddenly had some stomach pains and squatted in the toilet for a while, that’s why I came late, you two mustn’t blame me, I’ll definitely come earlier tomorrow.”
Grandma Song and Master Song were uncomfortable by his call, Master Song moved his body, “You mustn’t call us that either, we can’t afford it.”
When he heard the word “you”, Xiao Si was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body, if the young master knew about this, he would be skinned. ”
After saying that, he looked towards Song Wan Yue for help.
The morning was cool, the car curtain was lifted, Song Wan Yue sat at the car door, the tension on the boy’s face was clearly seen, pursed lips a smile, “do not let my grandparents so you can, you also do not call them Old Lady, Old Master.”
“This ……”
Although Master Gu was kind, but the rules were extremely strict, if he knew that he did not address them like this, he would have punished him.
“My grandparents are ordinary country people, not used to being addressed like this, if you are afraid of being chastised, just address Grandpa Song, Grandma Song.”
Xiao Si scratched his head, “This, is this okay?”
“Fine, if your young master chastises you, just say that I told you to call him that, if he feels bad, let him come to me.”
“Hey, I’ll listen to Miss Song.”
Xiao Si happily responded, the young master obeyed Miss Song, whatever Miss Song said, the young master would never punish him if he knew it was Miss Song who had told him to call it that way.
Grandma Song and Master Song were then relieved.
“You have eaten, our young master has prepared ……”
Xiao Si didn’t finish his sentence, then Song Wan Yue interrupted, “I’ve eaten, let’s just go straight to the workshop.”
……
The Song family got down from the carriage and looked at the workshop, which was even more grand than their own home, and felt timid.
There were two young men standing at the door, who quickly came over and saluted them respectfully.
Grandma and Master Song subconsciously avoided them.
“Miss Song, please.”
The two boys bent down and made a gesture to invite them in.
Song Wangyue took Grandma Song’s arm on her left and Xu’s on her right, “Grandpa, Grandma, Mother, go in.”
Master Song walked in first, and Song Wangyue
^0^ One second to remember [ ]
Several people followed behind.
Song Shen was the last one, and when he walked into the courtyard, he was blown away. The inside was even bigger than they had imagined, with a wide brick and tile house with large windows, very open and bright.
The courtyard floor was all made of bricks, and in one corner of the courtyard were several large tanks filled with water, and next to the wall were several large piles of dry firewood, while on the other side were a dozen pots of flowers, their fragrance wafting with the breeze.
It was almost dumbfounding to see that this was not a workshop, it was more grand than an ordinary house.
Song Wangyue led them into the workshop, and only when they saw that there were no extra things inside except for a dozen stoves did they breathe a sigh of relief, for if the inside of the workshop was decorated like the courtyard, they wouldn’t have known how to work.
“Let’s get to work.”
The two boys at the door did not come in and the family was the only one inside the workshop, so Elder Song relaxed a lot.
“Work.”
Grandma Song took out the aprons she had made and gave one to each of them. After putting them on, she rolled up her sleeves, lifted the bucket and went to fetch water – the Gu family had made such a good workshop, so if they didn’t make more herbal tea, they would be sorry.
“Miss Song.”
Xiao Si shouted from the courtyard.
