In the old house of the Song family in Xiaoshi Village.
Even though the coffin had just been carried out, it didn't feel desolate at all.
Four large lanterns were hung high on the eaves, illuminating everywhere.
The dead branches and leaves and residual snow were swept away, the fallen door leaves were re-pressed, and the door curtains and window paper looked brand new.
Ali and the four of them went back and forth, leading the horse into the empty pigsty in the corner of the courtyard and drawing water from the well. The large carriage also entered the courtyard and occupied a courtyard.
People call Ma Xili, and the Song family's old house regains its vitality.
Aunt Zhang and the others had tidied up the clean room where Song Xiaobao lived before. By this time, the kang had been burned, and Song Zhenping was sitting on the edge of the kang in a daze.
Yang Hua brought the freshly baked egg pancakes and a large bowl of pimple soup to the kang table in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "Uncle Kui wants us to stay at his house. I just replied that we will stay here from now on."
here!"
Song Zhenping came back to his senses: "Well, this is our home, so we won't bother Mr. Li Zheng and the others."
They all stayed at Song Lizheng's house for the past few days. There were many people and things going on, which was very inconvenient.
Now that Mrs. Gu has been buried and even the first seven days have passed, Song Zhenping decided to move back.
Not only would he stay there for just a few days, he also wanted to rebuild it.
Song Liyun in Broken Gold Town is also busy.
When she received the letter from Song Zhenping, she had just returned from the guardhouse.
Abu squatted beside the charcoal pot, picking at a few peanuts with tongs.
He just looked in a daze and sighed involuntarily: "Oh! It's so boring!"
He had accompanied Song Liyun to Ruijin Town for more than two months. He originally thought that he had a good job and could eat as much delicious food as he wanted.
But after staying for a long time, he felt something was wrong: why it was much more boring than before.
In the past, when the young master was here, even though he lived in Baolin Residence, he had to go to the training ground of the guard station and patrol on horseback, so he was very busy every day.
Now I follow the young lady, either to read the account books at Tianxiang Building or at Baolin Residence. Even when I go to the ice cellar in the town, I am going to read the account books.
Xiaoan and Heijin were in Tianxiang House again, and there was only one dog left at home.
No wonder Yuquan has only lived in Ruijin Town for half a month and has to go back to the grassland. It's so boring!
Hearing Abu sigh again, Song Liyun put down the letter in his hand and looked at the squatting man with raised eyebrows: "Abu, your young master has sent a letter asking Luo Baihu to go to the grassland to pick him up. Will you go?"
Abu jumped up, his face full of excitement: "Go, of course I want to go, my bones are almost growing together."
Song Liyun pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, tomorrow morning you go to the guardhouse and go with Luo Baihu. By the way, the vegetables in the backyard will be prepared early."
"Hey! Okay!" Abu rushed out the door and shouted at the top of his voice: "Alu, Ade, go collect the vegetables!"
After he left, Song Liyun reopened several letters at hand.
This time she was watching Qingping Town.
The letter was written by Song Lizheng, and it said that Xiaoshi Village is also building an acorn workshop and wants to process vermicelli.
Regarding this matter, Song Zhenping's first letter of the first month not only mentioned the death of Mrs. Gu, but also mentioned that Song Li was planning to open a workshop.
In the first month of the year, Song Zhenping bought back the land sold by Song Laoer.
Those dozen acres were left by his parents, and he was reluctant to give them up.
Song Zhenping wanted to run back and forth between Xiaoshi Village and Ruijin Town without falling behind at either end.
This matter is no longer difficult for Song Liyun now, all he needs is Luo Baihu and Song Lizheng to guide him.
According to Song Zhenping's plan, he wanted to set up an acorn workshop and grow winter vegetables in Xiaoshi Village.
Because Xiaoshi Village is located in the south and is warmer than Suijin Town, there will also be frost-resistant large radish, cabbage, spring onions and leeks in the backyards in winter.
If Song Zhenping bothers to breed more, sending them to the grassland will also be a marketable product.
Song Liyun also understood his feelings. It was hard to leave his hometown, which was the place where he was born and grew up.
Besides, there are only ten acres of land in Suijin Town, which has already been covered by Lin Tao's wife and the others, as well as the vegetable patch in the backyard, so there is no need to leave it alone.
Song Lizheng wrote to ask Song Liyun to help with sales in the future.
Song Liyun was writing and was about to write back to him asking him to do whatever he wanted, and he would definitely be able to sell it, when Song Dekui hurried in.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Li Yun, I heard that Abu is going to the grassland. Is it true?"
Unlike Song Zhenping, he still liked a fresh and exciting life. He stayed in Xiaoshi Village until the end of the first year and then came to Baolin Residence.
Now I am in charge of several businesses with Han Ming, and I want to run out whenever I have free time.
Song Liyun frowned: "Uncle Kui, you are already a grown man. Mr. Li Zheng wants me to help you go on a blind date. Do you really like thousands of girls?"
When Song Dekui heard about the marriage, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Why are you just like my mother? Miss Wan is the daughter of a rich family. She needs good looks and good fortune. I am not worthy of it, so forget it."
Song Liyun sighed and ran away as soon as he saw him, as if he was being chased by a wolf. This didn't mean he wasn't worthy, he couldn't catch up.
Manager Wan Da knew that marriage with Song Liyun was not possible, so he set his sights on Song Dekui. In the first month of the year, he even came to Song Liyun to mention the matter.
Song Liyun felt that there was nothing wrong with such a marriage, as long as Song Lizheng promised to make his son his son-in-law.
So I specifically mentioned the marriage to Song Dekui, but Song Dekui ran away as soon as he heard about the marriage, saying that he was not worthy.
Now I am very excited about going to the grassland.
"Uncle Kui, you don't want to marry yourself to the grassland, do you?" Song Liyun was a little doubtful.
Song Dekui didn't even blush: "Can't I be the dowry uncle? We don't worry about you marrying so far away alone. This is helping Daping Xiaoan keep an eye on you!"
There were dowry girls and slaves, but there were no dowry uncles. Song Liyun was immediately dumbfounded.
At this time, she didn’t want to mess around with him, so Song Liyun said: “Abu is going back to the grassland tomorrow and is packing things in the backyard. Go over and help him!”
Knowing that Song Liyun had granted him leave, Song Dekui happily went to the backyard.
Song Liyun was not in the mood to write any more letters at this time. Instead, he held his chin and looked at the charcoal basin in trance.
This time the chaos in the Mida Valley lasted until the first month of the year before it really ended.
Zhao Tingduo and the others organized all the tribes in the valley and counted the population and livestock.
There are a total of 13,000 people in the entire valley area, and more than 30,000 livestock.
The biggest gain was to find more than 300 Wu Dynasty slaves from various tribes who had been captured over the years, including more than 50 from Ruijin Town.
Zhao Tingduo reported these people to Zhao Tinglei, the garrison of Hecheng, and wanted to hold a return ceremony on the grassland to show the friendship between the Wuda tribe and the Wu Dynasty.
After the ceremony, the people in Ruijin Town were sent to Luo Baihu to get them back.
Today Song Liyun went to the health center, and it was Luo Baihu who asked her if she was going with him?
Song Liyun found a reason to refuse.
It's mid-February now, almost three months have passed since the two separated.
Although there were sweet words in the correspondence, neither of them was addicted to love.
Zhao Tingduo's letter naturally explained the reason why she was not allowed to go.
It was still freezing in the grasslands, and it would be painful to go there. Also, returning the slaves would be a provocation to other tribes. There were risks involved, and he didn't want Song Liyun to take the risk.
Song Liyun didn't want to reveal his relationship with the Di tribe to the world too early.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and Suijin Town has a deep prejudice against the Di people.
If he reveals his marriage to the Di tribe too early, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.
What Song Liyun is thinking now is: Will Xiao Shitou come back with him? Do he need to tell Lady Yun?
After thinking for a long time, she decided to tell Lady Yun.
Even if Xiao Shitou doesn't come back, it would be good to take this opportunity to go to the grassland to meet Song Dekui and Abu.
