No matter how far you have traveled or how long you have been gone, there is always someone waiting for you to come home.
As they got closer, Song Qiu saw Old Yuan's face clearly, and her heart became even more fragile, "Grandma! I'm back!"
Aling also waved, "Grandma! I'm back too!"
"Finally we're back!" Old Yuan looked at the two figures from a distance, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's been ten days since we've been here. How are Hugua and the others doing? Should they be fine?"
She thought that she shouldn't be beheaded after all. If she really was, Donggua would have returned to the village holding the coffin, and she would have to just watch Aqiu.
"It's okay! I was sentenced to exile. Like the others, I was exiled yesterday. However, Brother Li Yang followed the Crown Prince of Changshan to the battlefield and performed meritorious service. He asked the Crown Prince to help him to intercede to see if he could be exempted from exile and exchanged for something else.
What about the punishment? The prince has gone to Beijing now, and it is estimated that it will take a month before there is any news, so Uncle Hu Gua and the others have to stay in the cell, so we will come back first."
Song Qiu climbed up the gentle slope and helped old Yuan to walk home together.
The new house that has been completed has a high row of green brick and red tile walls blocking the scene inside and preventing prying eyes from outside.
The red lacquer door in the middle looks particularly majestic.
Just this one door cost her fifty taels of silver to deliver!
Now that I have it installed and looking at it, don’t tell me, it’s really exciting!
While asking Old Yuan, "Mistress, where will you live when you move back?"
This is a new house without a greenhouse, but it's not easy to move in first.
When Lao Yuan heard this, Zhang Gugua and others were exiled, and she felt a little sad.
I watched the children grow up carefully, but I never expected that they would all end up like this.
But fortunately, Li Yang had made meritorious service in the war, and Hu Gua and the others might have been spared from being exiled, and she felt happy again.
If the Hugua family can be fine, the old sister will feel happy.
This kid, Li Yang, can’t see it!
Really capable.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
"I was staying at your Uncle Hugua's house. Your Aunt Hugua and the others were taken away in a hurry that day. The house was in a mess. Your village chief grandfather helped guard the door. I saw that the furniture was delivered and the house was completed.
So I just moved back here! Watching it nearby makes me feel more at ease!"
As she said this, she walked into the gate of Zhang Family Courtyard and said, "Didn't I say that if we don't have enough money, we should just buy some things we need now? How can we bring back so many? There are not even enough in these rows of empty houses.
!”
Aling took Old Yuan's other side and said after hearing this: "You don't know, grandma, that every piece of furniture in that furniture store looks so beautiful. If it weren't for the lack of money, I really wish I could move them all back!"
When Old Yuan heard this, he said, "It's a good thing that we don't have enough money. Can we really move it all back and use it? It's just this. I can't sleep well at night! It's your grandfather, the village chief, who wakes up the villagers at night. What if?
If a strongman comes and steals it, it will be a huge loss!
But it’s true that all these pieces are beautiful. I was almost dazzled when I brought them back that day. Everyone in the village said they looked beautiful! They must have cost a lot of money, right?”
She knew how much money her granddaughter had, and she felt a little worried at the moment. She didn't know if it would be enough if it was all spent.
Uncle Dayou is knowledgeable. When he saw it, he said that it was all made of huanghuali wood, and it was expensive!
This money is all gone, and the wages of the big guys in the village haven’t been paid yet!
All the money she had saved was enough to pay Master Cheng's wages.
"Where do the strong men come from in our area?" Song Qiu couldn't help but laugh: "It didn't cost much money! The owner of this furniture store is my sister-in-law's brother, who gave me a lot of profits. After all, it's a hundred and ten taels short of silver.
! I just saw the benefits and couldn’t help myself, so I just bought so many!”
"These are enough to arrange almost everything. The rest are empty and our family won't be able to use them for the time being."
When Mrs. Yuan heard this, she nodded, that's good, her granddaughter knows how to handle things, so she can rest assured.
"Then we have to thank your elder brother and sister-in-law very much. They help us so much, so we should know how to be grateful."
"Yes, grandma is right, I won't save it! When our family holds a conservatory dinner, my eldest brother and the others will also come, and I will personally cook and prepare delicious food for them!"
Old Yuan nodded again: "Yes! Your eldest brother and sister-in-law love to eat novelty things. If you can do it, then you should do it well!"
"By the way, this house is also completed. When I saw you didn't come back for a while, I asked your village chief grandpa about the good days. The latest auspicious day is April 16th. What do you think of this day?"
Sixteen, there are still eleven or two days left, so we are ready for anything.
"Okay! This is the day! I'll go and ask Grandpa Dashao later to see if anyone invites him that day. Then I'll tell everyone that the wages for building the house will be paid tomorrow. Please invite everyone.
All sixteen came to have a feast!"
Old Yuan nodded, "Since the date has been set, I will also bring a letter to your uncle, aunt and others tomorrow, telling them to remember the date and come early!"
As he said this, Old Yuan thought of something, pulled Song Qiu, and couldn't help but said: "Aqiu, on the day of the greenhouse, I also want to let your aunt and uncle stay for one night."
"In the past, our house was small, the space was only so big, and the bed was so small. Even if we wanted to let them rest, we couldn't do anything. Now our family has built a new house, and there are so many rooms that one person can't even fit in one room. So,
, I just want them to stay one night and have a good time. They don’t have to rush home after lunch like before to avoid having to walk at night when it gets dark.”
Song Qiu also felt a little emotional when he heard this.
She remembered her previous life when she was a child. At that time, she followed her grandma to visit the house on special occasions. All the relatives would gather together, it was so lively, and she had to stay at someone's house for a night, and there would be endless dragon gate formations.
, after dinner on the second day, they dispersed and went home.
Walking into a house is full of excitement.
I get up early and go back late, and in such a hurry, my relatives, who are not often seen together, really don't have much time to sit together and talk leisurely and slowly.
She hurriedly said: "Okay! It's all up to you! We have so many rooms in our house now! We can accommodate as many people as we want!"
Grandparents and grandson haven't seen each other for ten days, and there are so many things to talk about that I can't say enough.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Song Qiu hurriedly pulled Aling towards the village.
Went to Huang's house first.
Mr. and Mrs. Huang Dashao and their apprentice were preparing a banquet for someone today. The family was far away and they had just entered the house not long ago.
I brought two buckle bowls from the table back, and a family of three was eating.
Seeing Song and Qiu coming, Huang Dashao and his family had no choice but to ask Zhang Hugua about their situation.
After all, everyone in the village knew that Song Qiu followed him to the county seat that day and never came back.
Song Qiu hurriedly explained the matter.
Huang Dashao was relieved when he heard that he had not been beheaded, and then invited the two of them to eat again.
Grandma Dashao was also busy getting bowls and chopsticks for the two of them.
Song Qiu quickly waved his hand, "I just came back from the county, and I just had dinner for a while! You guys eat! Don't go through us, I just came to ask Mr. Dashao if you are free on the 16th day, my family is hosting a greenhouse wine that day
, I want Master Dashao to take charge of the banquet!"
