In addition to selling cotton to Lou Gao, Song Yuyan also kept part of it for her family. She found someone to make six quilts. In addition to her and Tang Zhi's, Sun'er, Bing'er, Tang Ye and Tang Haogen's couple also had One bed was reserved for each.

She gave the rest of the bed to Aunt Lie.How could Aunt Lie have the temper to accept her quilt for nothing?So she used Song Yaoyao's upcoming marriage as an excuse, and this quilt was considered a little bit of her "brother" love.This reason made it just right, and Aunt Lie didn't talk about giving her money anymore.

Song Yaoyao will be 21 this year, and in this era, she is already considered an "older leftover girl" in the eyes of her neighbors, so even though Song Bing and Aunt Lie were unhappy, they still proposed to her.

The object of the marriage proposal is Song Yuyan's friend Wang Zhou.

Speaking of this matter, I have to start with the acquaintance between Wang Zhou and Song Yaoyao. It was Song Yuyan who asked Wang Zhou for help when he was working on shadow puppetry. He fell in love with Song Yaoyao at first sight.

Later, when Wang Zhou played with Song Yuyan, Song Yaoyao discovered his charming side, and Song Yaoyao's gaze began to linger on Wang Zhou for a longer time.

Song Yaoyao undoubtedly likes talented people, but her idea of ​​choosing a mate is different from her parents' idea of ​​"they get married if they feel suitable after the blind date". She thinks more about being a single woman. What should mother do?

It was because of these concerns that she could only hide her love for Wang Zhou in her heart.Seeing that she suddenly turned cold towards him, Wang Zhou was also anxious, so he went to ask Song Yuyan to find out what was going on.

Song Yuyan's public identity was Erlang, so it was not easy to ask Song Yaoyao for questioning, so she asked Tang Zhi to help.Tang Zhi and Song Yaoyao got along well, after they got together, they chatted about their daughter's concerns, and soon, Tang Zhi knew where Song Yaoyao's knot was.

Song Yuyan didn't directly tell Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie about these things. She first mentioned the situation of Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie to Wang Zhou, explaining that they only had one daughter, Song Yaoyao. If Song Yaoyao got married, they would have nothing to rely on. up.

Wang Zhou was silent for a long time, and went home to think about it for a long time before he came to propose marriage.

When he proposed marriage, he said sincerely: "This junior has already obtained the consent of his parents. If this junior marries Miss Song, he will also take care of Uncle Song and Aunt Song as close relatives."

He is the only son in the family, and his parents will not agree to marrying him, so the best way is for him to provide for Song Bing and Aunt Lie until the end of his life, and treat them like his biological parents.

After listening to Wang Zhou's words, Song Bing expressed that he would think about it for a while, but Aunt Lie, who is impatient, was not in a hurry at the moment, but agreed with Song Bing's words.

So the couple thought about it for nearly a month. After inquiring about Wang Zhou's family background and reputation many times, they came to the conclusion that he was quite talented and famous, but because his family was poor and had to support him to study, so he was 23 and did not get married. .

He and Song Yaoyao, one is an "older leftover woman" and the other is an "older leftover man", and there is nothing wrong with their family background, so they finally agreed to this marriage.

Song Bing and Aunt Lie recorded the food shop in the county town and the small house in Song Yaoyao's name as Song Yaoyao's dowry, and added dozens of coins to Song Yaoyao.These are most of the net worth that the couple has saved after more than 20 years of hard work. Although it is not all, this dowry still makes others jealous.

Song Yuyan asked Uncle 21 how they would arrange the food shop after giving it to Song Yaoyao. Uncle 21 said: "We have also made some money over the years and bought a lot of fields in the village, so we can only go back to collect the rent and raise flowers and plants to survive."

He and his wife have already made up their minds, anyway, they don't have a son, and they don't need them to support their daughter and son-in-law, so it's useless to earn more money.The family has [-] mu of land, and they can enjoy their old age comfortably by collecting rent.

Song Yuyan: "..."

It's no wonder that some people are jealous. It turns out that Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie are still invisible rich people, and they have become small landlords.

Song Yaoyao and Wang Zhounian got engaged at the beginning of the year, but because Wang Zhou was going to take the provincial exam next year, they rushed to get married at the end of the year.

The quilt Song Yuyan sent was very timely, at least it would allow Song Yaoyao to spend a warm winter - because Wang Zhou was leaving for Bianjing after the twelfth lunar month, so this "warmth" was only for Song Yaoyao People have it all to themselves.

Song Yaoyao was also worried that Wang Zhou would be cold when he went to Bianjing, so he asked Song Yuyan to buy some cotton and sewed him a cotton coat.

Not to mention how inseparable the newlyweds were when they parted, Wang Zhou still had to go to Beijing for the exam with Jie Juren from Mingzhou in the end.Song Yuyan, Wang Zhi and others also went to see him off, and wished him high school, and from then on his career will go straight up.

Wang Zhou went north with everyone's blessings, Song Yuyan sent Song Yaoyao back to the Wang family, and asked others if she could live a decent life in the Wang family.Although before Song Yaoyao and Wang Zhou got married, she found out that Wang Zhou's parents were honest and friendly, but she was also worried that it was a falsehood.

The neighbors all said that Wang's parents were very kind to Song Yaoyao, and some people muttered sourly that they might be so kind because of her dowry, but Song Yuyan knew that Song Yaoyao was not the kind who wanted to die Therefore, the current relationship between the two parties can be regarded as a model of relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After Song Yuyan went back, she mentioned it to Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie to reassure them.

Aunt Lie frowned, and then said domineeringly: "What do I have to worry about? People from his royal family dare to bully my daughter, so I will deal with them!"

Song Yuyan thought to himself, with Aunt Lie around, it's really not easy for the Wang family to want Song Yaoyao to be wronged.

It's another Spring Festival.Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi spent this year's New Year's Eve in Jinchuan Township. Because there were many things in the clan, Tang Zhi made a decision to prevent Song Yuyan from running around.

Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie learned that they were going to celebrate the New Year in the village, so they went to Song's house every now and then to help feed the chickens or clean up.When there was no one in the Song family, when they saw a person with wicked eyebrows wandering around, he stepped forward and took him away.

When Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi went to relatives' homes to pay New Year's greetings, Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie were the first to go.Although the two are married, they haven't had a baby yet, so after Uncle 21 gave Sun'er and Bing'er a share of New Year's money, he also stuffed them with a share of New Year's money, making them dumbfounded.

They went to pay New Year's greetings to the patriarch, Song Zhu, etc., and all of them got lucky money without exception.

Although Song Yuyan said no, but after returning home, she happily hid in the room and counted the lucky money. After counting the money, she said to Tang Zhi: "Lady, let's buy a carriage!"

If she remembers correctly, she now has a net worth of two hundred yuan!Converted into RMB, and taking into account some inflation in the past two years, two hundred guan is worth 50. Buying a horse will not lower the quality of life.

Tang Zhi said: "The worst horse costs [-] to [-] yuan a horse! After buying it, not only will it have no place to live, but also worry about being stolen by thieves, and you have to prepare fodder. If you are sick, you have to ask the doctor of the breeder to treat it..."

The system also said: "Just like you buy a car, the car is cheap, you can get hundreds of thousands, but you have to spend a lot of money to maintain a car—" It paused, "Oh, I forgot that you don't have a driver's license, People who don’t need to worry about the cost of maintaining a car.”

Song Yuyan was complained about by one person and one system at the same time, and she had completely seen the reality—she was still a long way from "becoming a rich woman" now!

Tang Zhi also knew why she wanted to buy a carriage, probably because she disliked the slow speed of the ox cart.She said before: "Jinchuan Township is actually not far from Cixi County. If it is at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage, it will take half an hour to arrive. However, it takes an extra hour for an ox cart. If not, we don't need to be separated from time to time because of our busy schedule. Two places."

So Tang Zhi said: "It's not worth buying a horse. Why don't you buy a donkey? You can have a donkey for more than 1 yuan. Not only can you work in the fields, but it can also drive a cart faster than an ox cart."

Song Yuyan thought about it, if the horse-drawn cart was compared to a car, and the ox cart to a bicycle, then the donkey cart would undoubtedly be a motorcycle.Although the speed of a motorcycle is not as fast as that of a car, it is also better than a bicycle.

So after she nodded, she went with Tang Zhi to buy a young and strong donkey and brought back a cart, which cost more than ten pennies.

After buying the donkey cart, Song Yuyan asked Tang Zhi to arrange work in the vegetable garden, and set aside a month to accompany her to a place.

Tang Zhi was deeply puzzled: "Where do you want to go for a month?"

Song Yuyan smiled mysteriously: "I will be crowned next year, so let me celebrate my birthday."

Tang Zhi knew that Song Yuyan's birthday was on the first day of February, and it happened to be her 20th birthday after the Chinese New Year. Although she didn't know what her arrangements were, she was happy to accompany Song Yuyan anywhere, so she readily agreed.

____

There is no need for Song Yuyan to worry about the guidance of papermaking in the family. The cotton field is taken care of by Huang Tusu and his son. Lou Gao and Bai Can are also in charge of affairs in the wax garden. As for the vegetable garden, Tang Zhi entrusts her sister-in-law to help. Take care of it for a while.

After being busy for so many years, the two of them are still a little uncomfortable when they are suddenly free, but they will soon go on a long trip, and Tang Zhi has to be prepared to be busy for a while.

When Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie learned that they were going to travel far away, they were quite puzzled: "It will be the Lantern Festival soon, when will you not be able to travel far away, why should you choose this time?"

Song Yuyan said brightly: "It's because the Lantern Festival is coming, that's why I went away!"

Tang Zhi on the side heard this, her heart moved slightly, she seemed to guess where Song Yuyan wanted to take her.Although she didn't know why Song Yuyan had such an idea, she was looking forward to it in her heart.

Aunt Lie didn't like Song Yuyan's tricks, so under her coercion and lure, Song Yuyan had no choice but to tell her secretly: "I heard that Ah Zhi has always wanted to go to Kaiyuan Temple in Shaoxing to see the Lantern Festival there. Darling, I can't take her to Shaoxing, so don't worry if you have a status this year!"

Tang Haogen and Song Yuyan talked about it three years ago, and she remembered it for three years and waited for three years.

Perhaps the Lantern Festival can be celebrated anywhere, but since it is Tang Zhi's wish, she has to realize it within the most suitable time.

Not to mention that it can be realized ten or twenty years later, since it is possible to realize it now, why did it take so long to realize it?

Aunt Lie looked at her: "I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful!"

Song Yuyan smiled, "While still young and still able to walk, let's walk around and fulfill our wish."

Aunt Lie didn't speak, but thought about her words secretly.

So when Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi were ready to set off for Shaoxing with their bamboo shoots and cakes, Song Bing and Aunt Lie also took their bags and got into their donkey cart.

Song Yuyan: "..."

"Let's go together!" Song Bing patted Song Yuyan on the shoulder.

Song Yuyan: "No, where are we going together?"

Aunt Lie said, "Didn't you say go to Shaoxing? Where else can I go?"

Song Yuyan really wanted to cover Aunt Lie's mouth, but she deliberately hid it from Tang Zhi. Even the reason why Sun'er and Bing'er could go there together was because she had made a promise that she would not tell Tang Zhi before she got permission. of.

She looked at Tang Zhi, but there was no special expression on Tang Zhi's face, and she didn't know whether Tang Zhi had guessed the surprise she was preparing.

"I think you are right, Shan Yao. Since there are places you want to go and scenery you want to see, you have to move around while you are young. I think we both traveled far and wide back then..." Uncle 21 began to talk to Tell Song Yuyan about the time when he was in business with Aunt Lie.

Song Yuyan remembered that the reputation of "Aunt Lie" came out at that time, but Uncle 21 boasted so much that Bing'er, a young man who didn't know the past, thought that he was the one who used to be one man and one man and ten thousand men. Scared off the robbers.

Song Yuyan: "..."

Forget it, let's save some face for Uncle 21, who is an elder!

The three siblings here are cheering for their Uncle 21, while Tang Zhi over there has not lost his focus, so he asked Aunt Lie, "Auntie and Uncle 21 really want to go to Shaoxing with us?"

Aunt Lie said: "The bags are all packed, are you still joking? Besides, the two of us have nothing to do at home, so we just went out for a walk. Besides, we have been to Shaoxing when we were in business, and we know the way, so we can show you the way. It can also help you watch the bamboo shoots and cakes, so that you can spend more time alone and play with peace of mind, won’t you?”

Aunt Lie never beat around the bush, Tang Zhi was still a bit thin-skinned in front of his elders, after hearing this, his face turned red.
