After receiving their wages, the villagers smiled and returned home together. Huang Caihua, who was lagging behind, dragged Liu Caigui to catch up with the village chief.
"Uncle Village Chief, I would be happy if our village could set up a village school. I am somewhat worried about my son with such a young character going elsewhere! When he becomes more literate and older, we can send him somewhere else.
I feel more at ease!"
The village chief listened and didn't say that the wind was the cause of the rain, but the opinions of the villagers were still opinions.
He nodded, "I'll think about it after I go back."
"Okay! Then we will wait for your words from the village chief, and we will not rush to send Dezi to the other side!"
Everyone left in a flash, and the yard became quiet. Song Qiu went back to the house, put away the money box, took out a money bag and gave it to Old Yuan, "Mistress, this is the wages you paid Master Cheng, plus this month's payment
Your monthly money of 600 yuan is all kept together."
She had arranged food, clothing, and accommodation, but she also wanted her to have her own money on hand at all times, so even if she didn't go to the inn, her monthly payment of six hundred cents had never changed as before.
.
Lao Yuan also kept the money she received from time to time when she was asked to deliver babies. She saved the money, which was of little use, but she also saved it, thinking that when A Qiu and A Ling got engaged, she would
I purchased two pieces of jewelry based on my own wishes.
From receiving monthly wages last year to now, plus the money for midwifery, she now has more than 20 taels of silver.
The granddaughter wanted to return the wages she had paid to her, but she didn't show any pretense, just took it and put it away with a smile.
Song Qiu gave her another six hundred coins from Al Ling. Al Ling took it and turned around and handed it to Old Yuan.
Ever since last year, when Old Yuan wanted to propose marriage to Aling, Aling happily asked for the wages he had saved with Song Qiu, and gave them all to Old Yuan. After that,
It was all saved for her.
Old Yuan collected it well for her alone. After taking the purse and going to put it away, Aling grabbed her and said, "Mistress, I want to ask you something!"
"What's the matter?" Old Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, took out a bunch of copper coins and handed them over, "You're such a big girl, you need some pocket money, so take it."
Ah Ling didn't answer, "I follow Sister Ah Qiu every day, and I can't eat anything I want? I don't have pocket money, I just want to ask for your milk for other things!"
Old Yuan looked at her and nodded, "Then tell me, I'm here to listen!"
Ah Ling started talking in a crackling voice: "It's been more than half a year since I came to our house last year. Sister Nai and Ah Qiu also know my origin. I didn't know who my biological parents were since I was a child. I was picked up by my master and brought in
I was raised as an apprentice by my side, so I don’t know what my last name is, or maybe they didn’t give me a name at all before they lost me?”
"My master himself has the same surname as his master, and he is a casual and unconventional person. He has been calling me "A-Ling" all the time. Seeing that I am smart in martial arts, he gave me the name "A-Ling".
There is no serious name."
"I often think that I might have been a member of the Song family in my previous life! That's why God somehow allowed me to meet Sister Aqiu!"
"I like grandma, I like sister Aqiu, and I also like this family. I want to stay in this family for the rest of my life, so I want to ask grandma to agree to it!"
Old Yuan was very moved when he heard the previous words.
Such a good little girl, I wonder who would be willing to throw it away?
When she heard Aling say that she couldn't say that she was a member of the Song family in her previous life, she couldn't help but laugh again.
This girl!
He has a good personality!
Only when you have an open mind can you live happily!
Hearing the last sentence again, Old Yuan couldn't help but reached out and touched Aling's head, "You girl, you want to stay here all your life and be a relative of me and your sister Aqiu for the rest of your life, how can you?
Why do you have to ask me to agree? Even if you want to leave now, I won’t let you go!"
Aling held up her head and rubbed Lao Yuan's hand like a docile kitten, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "I know Nai is happy for me to stay here! I want to ask Nai to help me register my household. I want to
With the surname Song, I will have a family and a famous name from now on!"
Hearing this, Mr. Yuan was startled, and then he seemed to have realized something. After a moment, he said: "The household registration is redrawn every three years, and this year is the third year. I remember the last time was in April and May.
At that time, when the clerk from the town office comes to our village, I will register your household registration for you!"
Adding people to the original household registration is different from opening a new household registration.
When a family has a new baby, it is usually announced by the village chief after the baby is three years old and established.
For people like A Ling, who is now in his teens and suddenly needs to be transferred to the Song family's household registration, Old Yuan cannot bother the village chief.
Song Qiu listened and said hurriedly: "We are going to the town tomorrow. Please bring me the household registration paper, and we will go to the town office to find the scribe."
Money can make the world go round. These small officials and clerks have very good salaries. Aren't they just relying on outsiders to ask for help and get some money?
Even if we really wait until the scribe comes to the village, I'm afraid he'll still be prevaricating before the benefits are given.
So it is better to go to the door yourself and give some money, it will be done faster!
It’s not like Mrs. Yuan doesn’t understand these worldly things. When her granddaughter said this, she knew that she was going to use money. She didn’t say much and nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll give you the household registration paper later.”
After saying that, he reacted and asked, "What are you going to do in town tomorrow? You're just going home now."
Song Qiu said with a smile: "Our family is going to host a hothouse, so we are not allowed to buy food and drinks, right?"
This is definitely necessary.
But Old Yuan murmured, hadn't Tao Zheng and Du Chuanfu always handled the purchasing?
They eat here by themselves, and Tao Zheng and the others buy the rice, flour, oil, vegetables, and meat for them.
So she didn't expect it.
Old Yuan was right. Song Qiu had no intention of handling the banquet purchase on his own. Tao Zheng, Du Chuanfu and the others were used to buying the banquet. They could just tell her what they needed, and there was no need for her to go there in person.
But she has other pressing matters when she goes to town tomorrow.
Saying it was a purchase was just a cover, you couldn't tell her about the milk right now.
Song Qiu left for ten days, and old Yuan didn't eat the food she cooked for ten days.
At noon, Song Qiu cooked by himself, fried two vegetables and made a soup, and the three of them ate happily.
After dinner, Aling washed the dishes. Song Qiu waited at the door for her to finish washing and came out. She raised her arms and said, "You need to eat after the meal. Let's go! Let's take a look at our new house!"
Old Yuan heard it in the room and added with a smile, "Look at me slowly, I walked enough yesterday."
Song Qiu laughed and pulled Aling out of the Zhang family yard.
Next door, the former wooden house with a fence and a small courtyard has disappeared.
It was replaced by a wall of blue bricks and red tiles.
The two walked to the vermilion door, unlocked it, and pushed the door open.
With a creaking sound, the heavy vermilion door slowly opened, and what came into view was a screen wall of cranes and deer.
The screen wall is wide and high, blocking everything inside. From the door, you can only see the screen wall.
