Chapter 114 Visiting
After Song Mei left, Song Lao Er's family went to deliver everyone's gifts to their homes. Song Er's wife went to her own parents' home.
Song Laoer wanted to go to Niu Lao's house. Song Sanniang was curious about licorice, so she wanted to go too. Then the two of them went to her maternal grandparents' house with Song Ersao.
Song Lao Er came to the door of Niu Lao Da's house with the things bought by Niu San Sao.
Many people's houses in Songjia Village are similar, with a bamboo fence in front and behind the house.
Rich families build their houses with bricks and stones, while poor families use adobe, bamboo or wood.
The houses of the two brothers Niu Lao Da and Niu Lao San are both made of bricks and stones, but Niu Lao San's house was previously the ancestral home of the Niu family and is larger.
This was requested by Sister Niu. Originally, Niu Lao Da was the eldest son and he was supposed to live in the ancestral house, but in his situation, it was really not suitable for him to live alone in such a big house.
Niu Lao Da's house was built later. It is a simple house with three bedrooms and a living room. On the left and right sides of the yard are the kitchen and the utility room.
There are three rooms and a dining area in the north direction. The middle room is divided into two parts, the left side is for sleeping, the right side is for dining, and then there is a room on each side.
In fact, the layout is similar to that of Song Laoer’s house.
However, rural people usually eat in the yard or under the eaves. They only eat in the hall when it rains heavily or the weather is cold.
When Song Lao Er arrived, he saw that the gate was closed and no one was in the yard, so he called out, "Brother Niu."
At this time, Niu Lao Da and Gan Cao were tidying up the vegetable garden in the backyard. During the time that Gan Cao had been married, in addition to cleaning up Niu Lao Da's house,
I just helped Niu Laosan's family with cleaning and took care of the crops grown on their wasteland. Now I have time to open a vegetable garden for my own family.
When she heard someone shouting, she put down the bucket in her hand and called to Niu Laoda, who was digging the ground with a hoe nearby, "Did you hear that? It seems like someone is calling you. Go out and take a look."
Hearing this, Niu Lao Da put down the hoe in his hand and went out. A normal person would put the hoe against the wall.
He just loosened his grip and the hoe fell to the ground. He didn't even look at it and turned around and walked out.
When he saw that it was Song Lao Er, he happily shouted, "Lao Er." He himself would not invite Song Lao Er in,
So Song Lao Er and Song San Niang went into the yard by themselves. Song San Niang greeted him politely, and he just laughed like a little kid.
"Brother, what are you busy with? Where is my sister-in-law?" Song Lao Er put the things on the table and asked.
"Farming." Niu Laoda replied honestly.
At this time, Gancao also came out. Seeing that it was Song Laoer, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. Niu Laosan had introduced Song Laoer to her before.
So she smiled at him and Sanniang, and then asked shyly, "Why are you back? Where are Sandi and the others?"
"The third brother's family didn't come back this time. They are still in the city. They bought something for you and I brought it back for you." Song Laoer patted the things on the table.
Licorice also looked towards the table. Although it was wrapped in oil paper, it was obvious that it was not a small item. She was a little surprised.
Because she had just been married for a short time, she was not very familiar with the situation of the Niu family. Although the matchmaker spoke very well, she was still skeptical. Now, she believed what the matchmaker said, that her brother and sister-in-law were all kind.
She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry that my brother and sister-in-law spent so much money. Please thank them for me."
Licorice looked to be about 1.6 meters tall, very thin, with wheat-colored skin and long, slightly yellowish hair tied into a bun at the back of her head.
Her face is a little square, her eyes are very bright, and her mouth is always unconsciously pursed, making her look stubborn.
When Niu Lao Da heard that there were gifts, he happily went to open the gifts on the table. Gan Cao wanted to stop him, but Song Lao Er stopped her.
"Big brother is like this. If he likes to tear things down, let him do it. We will leave first after the things are delivered. We are here for the next two days.
If there is anything you need our help with, or if you have a message for Lao San, please come to our house and tell us."
After saying that, Song Lao Er and Song San Niang went back. Song San Niang hadn't had time to talk to Gan Cao yet.
For some reason, Song Sanniang was very interested in licorice, because she felt that licorice was more like the heroine in farming literature.
Liu Family,
"Hey, you're back?" Grandma Chen and Grandma Liu were preparing beans for lunch in the yard. When they saw Second Sister Song coming with her two children, they shouted happily.
"Mother, Aunt Liu." Second Sister Song greeted the two of them, and the fourth sister and the other two followed suit. Second Sister Song took the things in her hands into the house and put them on the table.
"Mom, my eldest and second sisters-in-law bought something for you. Why aren't my father and eldest brother at home?" Usually they are either sitting in the yard or grinding rice in the backyard.
"I went to your new house. I heard it was almost finished. When did you come back? Didn't you go to see it?" Chen put down the work in her hands, laughed and walked into the house.
Mrs. Liu did not stop what she was doing, but said, "We see your house getting better and better every day. It's really a relief."
"If you say so, we have to go and have a look this afternoon." Mrs. Song said with a smile.
"You're back. Is the city fun?" The little cousin heard the voice and ran out of the room. Seeing the four women, she happily pulled them to talk. Then the three of them whispered to each other.
"Mom, these shoes were bought for you and dad by your eldest sister-in-law, and the socks were bought for you by your second sister-in-law." After saying this, Second Sister-in-law Song said to her little cousin.
"Xiao Xi, your aunt bought you a hair flower, and your mother bought you a new set of clothes. Come and have a look."
When she heard that she also had a gift, my little cousin ran to see it excitedly. When she saw the pair of hair flowers, she immediately put them on her head and asked everyone if they looked good.
Then he touched the new clothes lovingly and asked after a while, "Aunt, when will my mother and the others come back?"
"I'll be back soon after a while." Mrs. Song replied.
Suddenly, outside, there were the noisy voices of Uncle Liu and his companions. They had returned, and when they entered the room, they saw that Second Wife Song and the other two were very happy.
Grandfather Liu said in a clear voice, "You are back. We just came back from your new house. The layout of your house is great. If we want to build a house in the future, we will build it like this."
After hearing what her father said, Song Ersao became even more curious about how her new house would turn out, but she suppressed her curiosity and said to everyone,
"I came back this time because I wanted Zecheng to come to the store to help." Hearing this, Liu Zecheng shouted happily, "Great, I'm going to the city."
Everyone smiled and looked at him. The uncle kicked him on the butt and said, "When you get to the capital, don't be lazy. Work hard and listen to the adults. Do you understand?"
Liu Zecheng foolishly agreed.
"By the way, Zezheng and Zehuan have received their wages and want to give them to you. You are such good children." Mrs. Song remembered and took out a purse from her bosom.
"Ze Zheng gave 50 cents to his parents and his elder brother, and 10 cents to Xiao Xi.
Ze Huan gave his parents and second brother fifty cents each, and gave Xiao Xi ten cents each. I guess the two brothers had discussed this."
After saying this, Song Ersao smiled and said to Liu Zezheng, "They said you have to make money on your own, so they won't give it to you." After hearing this, Liu Zezheng completely wilted.
Only his hurt world was fulfilled, and even his little cousin's sadness of being left alone at home was compensated by the joy of the twenty cents she was about to get.
After saying this, Song Ersao told Liu Zecheng to pack his luggage in advance, and then took Si Niang and the other two home.
"Let's go home and go see our new house with your father and the others later." Song Ersao said happily to Si Niang and the others on the way.
The four women both jumped up and down for joy, quickening their pace.
