As soon as she entered the bank, Mrs. Yuan was restrained and silent. She watched her granddaughter talk to the shopkeeper from beginning to end. She was not timid at all, and she felt very proud.
Thinking about this granddaughter, she has finally grown up. She is blessed by her underground son and daughter-in-law. This child is very lucky.
With the boss in front, when Song Qiu went to Bingfang to discuss business, Old Yuan was completely silent and only Song Qiu made the decision.
Song Qiu doesn't plan to buy ice cream today, but only plans to buy an ice mirror first.
Just buy the cheapest one, made of cypress wood, which costs 250 yuan each.
It was rare for the manager of Bingfang to still remember the little girl Song Qiu. He saw that she actually came to buy an ice cream a few days later. He was also considerate and asked the clerk to pick the best one in cypress for her.
After paying the money and getting the ice mirror, he went out to load the mule cart and turned into the deserted alley. Song Qiu quietly put the heavy money bag hanging on his body and the old Yuan's belongings into it.
Put the ice cream into the inner container.
This makes it much easier.
The ice cream is very big, taking up half a cart, and is very heavy. It is inconvenient to move it up and down. No wonder the stalls selling ice drinks are fixed there and no one is walking around selling them.
Song Qiu thought that he didn't need to move around his tea stall, which was just right.
Returning to Ankangfang, Song Qiu went to Wu Ji Grain and Oil Store and bought a lot of brown rice. Of course, the essential ones were mung beans and the pea flour that shopkeeper Wu had given him last time.
After buying these, I went to Zhangji Grocery Store and bought some sea bowls and spoons, brown sugar, soy sauce and vinegar, and some of each.
That was it for now, but it cost almost two hundred dollars.
After wandering around and driving the mule cart back home, Song Qiu planned to make one important thing first.
"Nai, let's have some dry rice at noon. I just happened to make egg soup with the tomatoes my aunt gave me. It's best to make rice with it."
Old Yuan was really distressed when he heard that he had to live without food. Now that his family had to buy mules and buy these things, they had no money for a long time.
Today, Aqiu wants to use the dowry money. She doesn't agree with it, but if she doesn't, she will have no capital and can't make a living.
We had no choice but to break up.
She was also thinking about when the business started to start, so that she could replenish the one hundred taels so that she could keep it for Ah Qiu to press the bottom of the box. The business hadn't started yet, and she had to eat hard food again.
Today, Ah Qiu bought twenty kilograms of rice in one go.
Old Yuan gritted his teeth. He had a lot on his mind, but he didn't say no, and finally said: "Okay, let's eat."
Here Song Qiu washes the rice and prepares to cook a large pot of dry rice.
While lighting the fire, Old Yuan looked at the bowls of rice being poured out, his eyelids twitching, "Ah Qiu, are you going to treat us today? How can you finish all the rice you've cooked?"
"I just can't finish it, milk. I plan to make something to eat and sell it at the tea stall." Song Qiu responded.
When he heard that they were going to make food, Old Yuan looked at it and stopped talking.
Pour the rice into an iron pot at the back and let it boil over the remaining fire. Put oil in the pot, pour in the selected long beans and stir-fry until they change color, then add water and cook vigorously.
This kind of long bean is filled with grains and is cooked well. It tastes particularly delicious, and even the seeds inside are powdery.
The long beans were softened by the high fire, and the rice in the iron pot was also cooked. Song Qiu made another tomato and egg soup, which was enough for today's lunch.
The Song family is having dinner, and so is the Zhang family next door.
There was still no food for one more person, but Zhang Yang was nowhere to be seen when he woke up this morning. Zhang Laodou was wondering if this kid had gone out to hang out again?
He came back as soon as he said he would come back, and left as soon as he said he would come back. It was only because of his own happiness.
"Lihua, why haven't you seen your brother?"
Zhang Lihua was eating, and suddenly she heard her father calling her, and she was really flattered. When did he call her by name and talk to her.
But when she heard this, she immediately shook her head, "Master, I don't know either."
She really didn't know. She didn't tell her when her brother left. He just told her a few words yesterday, asking her to stay with Aqiu more, grow some food at home alone, and not to tell anyone about the things going on in the mountains. People say.
Zhang Laodou laughed when he heard this, "My family doesn't know when this kid comes back, and I don't know when he left. It's really worrying."
Old Mrs. Deng glanced at him and said, "He is just a careless person. It annoys me just to see him. Why are you so worried about what he is doing? It would be better if he left."
"Isn't it because he's old? He doesn't care about it. You have to worry about it. When you find a suitable person, you can settle him first, and then find him and come back to make things happen." Zhang Laodou said quickly.
Old Mrs. Deng hummed and said nothing more.
Zhang Lihua listened with her head buried and her ears propped up. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was she trying to find a wife for her brother?
I don’t know if she cares about her breasts, so don’t just find a girl for her brother.
She really didn't want her grandma to get involved, but her grandpa had already said it, so it seemed that her brother's marriage was in her grandma's hands.
And hers.
Thinking like this, Zhang Lihua couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I can't help myself.
I hope she can be like her aunt, making mistakes and finally meeting the right person.
Zhang Hugua saw the way his father frowned when talking about Zhang Yang, so he wanted to make his father happy and asked his mother to see if it was the melon on the vine that was the most promising.
He said: "I went to the town yesterday to meet my elder brother. He took me to a teahouse to sit down and talked about something. I almost forgot to tell my parents. If my father hadn't mentioned Zhang Yang's marriage here, I would have It’s not connected yet.”
"What's the matter?" Zhang Laodou looked up at him.
Zhang Hugua said with a smile: "It's Songsong's marriage. The daughter of Mr. Ge who teaches him happens to be about the same age as Songsong. Mr. Ge has always liked Songsong to study and be motivated, and he has a smart mind. He intends to marry his daughter to him!"
When Zhang Laodou heard this, he was really happy, "Is it that Ge Fuzi who is about the same age as your eldest brother but is already a scholar? I heard that his son was also born as a child. The whole family is well educated, and he is still a tough town. He has a good family background, and since he has taken a liking to Songsong, this is a good thing. What does your elder brother say? Do they agree?"
Zhang Hugua saw that his mother was also looking over, and she listened with her ears open. She didn't show off and said quickly: "This is exactly what my elder brother was talking about when he came to me. He and his sister-in-law have already discussed it and feel that this marriage is a good one." , Mr. Ge is a talented scholar, and many of his classmates in the same year are now candidates for civil service examinations. Having a father-in-law with such a wide circle of friends will be of great benefit to him in studying for the imperial examination."
"As long as Songsong becomes Gefuzi's son-in-law, then Gefuzi won't give him everything he has to offer him. It won't be a problem for Songsong to be elected as an official in the future!"
"So, I have planned to find a date to propose marriage. However, scholars have strict rules. They have to find out where they are before inviting a matchmaker to come. My eldest brother said that as long as the date for marriage proposal is set, they will first Come back and tell your parents about this in person."
Zhang Laodou was overjoyed when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly, and even said before he could hold back, "My eldest grandson is still going to be successful. This will help our family become the in-laws of Master Xiu Cai!"
Zhang Hugua has always been good at flattering, "It doesn't matter that a scholar is an in-law. In the future, my eldest nephew will have to be a high official! By then, our family will be an official family!"
Old Mrs. Deng listened silently, and saw that the father and son were as happy as anything. His face was also happy, but he curled his lips in his heart.
She bets that she doesn't have much money left in her hand, and she can't keep it warm.
