Chapter 323: Don't worry

Song Qiu and Du Chuanfu returned to the inn with a cart full of grain, oil, rice and noodles. Half of them stayed at the inn, the other half was sent to the workshop, and the other half was taken to the farm tomorrow.

When Old Yuan came over from the workshop, they had dinner together and headed back to the village. While chatting on the way, Old Yuan mentioned Cao Daqiao's marriage on the fifth day of the lunar month.

"It's been so many years. Miao Xiang is almost eight years old. Your Grandma Cao has always been thinking about this matter. No one has been willing to marry us for many years. She often murmurs to us mothers-in-law that if we can't see each other,

If I have a grandson, I won’t have the shame to go see my ancestors in the future.”

"Well, now there is finally someone who is willing to marry. Although she is a widow with a daughter, she is still young and can give birth. Your Grandma Cao is very happy. She has been talking about it in the workshop for the past two days.

That’s all.”

"She is from Dazao Village across the street. When she gave birth to a daughter, I was the one who gave birth to her. Her original man was also a capable man, but it was a pity that he died early."

"Your Grandma Cao said that people don't need any important dowry, just like a first marriage. There are only two points. One is to bring the daughter with her, and the other is to ask for a dowry of 500 yuan. This dowry is also the sincerity of the Cao family. She

Anyway, I have to take the married woman with me so that I can’t go out."

Song Qiu was not surprised when she heard this. Didn't she already listen to Miao Xiang's words in the first few days? It seems that both parties are satisfied. The date has been set and they will definitely get married to celebrate the New Year.

Zhang Lihua didn't know, so she still started to listen. She couldn't help but said: "It's okay to marry a widow. Uncle Daqiao has also been married, but he wants to bring a daughter over there? Is she older or younger than Miao Xiang?"

Now that we have a stepmother, she is still her biological daughter, so I don’t know whether Miao Xiang’s life will be good or not in the future.”

She and Miao Xiang were not in the same age group, and they didn't usually play together. It was just that Zaohua and Miao Xiang played well, so she couldn't help but worry about Miao Xiang.

Old Yuan sighed softly and did not say much about this matter to the children. Whether the stepmother is a stepmother or not, whether Miao Xiang is good or not, that is all the Cao family's business. They are outsiders, how can they care about it?

Mrs. Cao always dreamed of her grandson. Her life had been difficult in the past. She didn't have enough spare money to ask for a wife, and no one was willing to marry into their family and live in poverty.

It's okay now. It's not easy to find a young woman who is willing. Mrs. Cao would laugh out of her dreams. As long as she can have grandchildren, who will care about other things?

Mrs. Zhang, who was careless with words, secretly whispered to them that as long as she could give birth to a son, Mrs. Cao would be happy to welcome an unscrupulous woman from Goulan Courtyard. That is to say, she had no money. Otherwise, she would have bought a mother to give birth to her.

Grandson.

She paused, thinking about what Granny Cao had mentioned today, looked at Song Qiu and said: "Your Granny Cao asked me this afternoon when the wages would be paid. I said on the third day of the lunar new year. First of all, the workshop said it would take a month and a half.

Well, she mentioned a favor to me and wanted to advance half a month's salary in advance. In this case, she could receive a total of 900 yuan. After giving the 500 yuan bride price, there was still 400 yuan left to host a few tables.

It’s enough for a banquet or something.”

"I wanted to ask you, but I didn't answer. I promised to talk to her tomorrow."

"We are from the same village and know the basics. It's okay to advance half a month's wages. But I think it depends on what you think, Aqiu. If this kind of thing starts, everyone will advance it.

We won’t give in.”

Song Qiu heard that her mother was worried about the money and blinked at her, "I'm afraid you have forgotten the huge sum of money in our hands."

Even if she doesn't have such a huge sum of money, it's not a big deal to pay half a month's wages in advance. In a village, she is still afraid that people will cheat and not finish the work after receiving the wages?

It's hard to say anything about other villages, it's impossible.

With the great mountain of Taigong here, who in this village, old and young, would not listen?

"It's okay. You can reply to Grandma Cao tomorrow. When wages are paid on the third day of junior high school, just pay her half a month in advance."

Old Yuan understood this look and thought that her granddaughter was going to the town today to look at the land and property, and she didn't know whether to buy it or not. She would talk about this later when she went back.

He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then I'll just get back to her like this tomorrow."

After saying this, several people also went up the gentle slope to the front of their courtyard.

Zhang Lihua entered her yard and shouted "Mistress, I'm back" as soon as she entered the door.

Old Mrs. Deng inside responded and ordered people to go into the upper room.

Nowadays, Mr. Zhang no longer hangs around all day long, and Mr. Deng no longer hides and does whatever he wants with Lihua. After thinking about it, Mr. Miao is no longer surprised.

Even Zhang Hugua, who works honestly every day, understands what his mother is doing.

The relationship between the couple has eased a lot now, and they often talk about this matter when they sleep together at night.

Miao laughed and scolded the man that he was lucky to have a clear mind and not fall into the third-room trap. He had to obey his mother honestly. His father is unreliable now. They don't have any property, so they can only count on their mother.

If they listen carefully to their mother, she will not ignore them.

Here, Song Qiu followed Old Yuan into the courtyard. Turning around, he accidentally caught a glimpse of two small figures talking next to each other in the corner outside their courtyard. After thinking about it, he walked towards that end.

As I got closer, I saw two little girls immersed in digging into the fat mud under their feet.

Even though the holes were dug deep, there were not even a few earthworms dug out.

Miao Xiang said: "Zaohua, I have told you that earthworms hide in winter and it is difficult to dig. If you don't believe it, look, we have been digging for a long time and we haven't even seen one."

Zhang Zaohua looked up at her, "Are you tired of digging?"

"I'm not tired at all. Don't tell me, I'm digging in the mud so hard that I'm sweating!" Miao Xiang laughed.

Seeing her smile, Zhang Zaohua grinned and said, "Of course I know there will be no earthworms, so I'm taking you to dig in the mud! Look, after playing for a long time, don't you just laugh?"

Miao Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "Zaohua, you are so kind. Don't worry, I have figured it out. I'm not sad. I won't cry anymore. I'll wait for my father to ask someone to come in in a few days."

, I will call you mother, sister, and be obedient. I believe they will treat me well, so don’t worry about me."

Zhang Zaohua nodded heavily, "I rest assured that you are fine. I am still waiting to grow up with you and get married together!"

After Song Qiu listened, he turned around and walked back to the yard quietly.

I went back to help her feed the pigs, closed the door of the chicken coop, and when I came out again, I saw that Zaohua had gone home, and Miao Xiang had also gone home.

After washing her face and feet with the water that Old Yuan had boiled, Aling, who had fallen asleep early, went straight back to the house to sleep. Song Qiu then went into Old Yuan's house with the money box in his arms.

Old Yuan was waiting. When she saw someone coming in, she moved the candle lamp closer and asked, "How are you today? Did you pick it up?"

This is a bad situation in the land industry. If you can buy it, it's just picking up the slack.

Her eldest brother said that they didn't want the land for sale at first, but now it's been sold, but they missed it.

Song Qiu patted the money box proudly, opened it, and took out a stack of paper.
