Ever since Jiang Cheng's mother passed away and his father married a stepmother, he had always acted subserviently at home. After learning that he was to marry in place of his sister, he resolu...
Xu Sanniang put all the things she bought in town recently onto the donkey cart. Song Yu and Xiao Hui stayed beside the donkey cart and watched their parents walking around.
Song Yu was holding a box in his hand, which contained cakes and preserved fruits. These were the ones Song Yu brought for Zhang Jinyou to eat.
Xu Sanniang also asked him what he was going to do with it, and Song Yu made up a vague excuse to fool her, so Xu Sanniang gave up.
After everything was packed, Jiang Cheng sent Xu Sanniang to the door.
"Good boy, mother will go back first!" Xu Sanniang patted Jiang Cheng's hand.
"Well, we'll go back in a few days!" Jiang Cheng nodded, then said to Song Tingzhi, "The roads are slippery in the snow, go slowly!"
"Got it!" Song Tingzhi responded from the front of the car.
"Good boy, eat less sweets!" Xu Sanniang suddenly leaned close to Jiang Cheng's ear and said to him, then she got into the car and waved to Jiang Cheng.
Before Jiang Cheng could react, Song Tingzhi drove away in the donkey cart. Jiang Cheng blushed only after seeing them go far away.
It turns out Xu Sanniang knew everything about eating candied haws yesterday! It was so embarrassing to be caught eating them secretly!
Jiang Cheng turned around and went into the house. Xu Sanniang helped him make tofu with the beans he had soaked yesterday this morning. Song Tingzhi also moved the tofu to the counter, waiting for Jiang Cheng to sell it!
Jiang Cheng turned over the doorplate and began to receive guests.
Today, many people who came to buy tofu also asked Jiang Cheng when the venison that Song Tingzhi hunted would be sold.
Jiang Cheng couldn't tell them the exact date, so he told them that it would be sold in the next few days.
After receiving the news, some people went back home and waited, planning to come and take a look in the next few days to prevent the good things from being snatched away by others.
The tofu was sold out soon. Jiang Cheng packed up the things and planned to make some simple side dishes and wait for Song Tingzhi to come back to eat.
It was cold outside, and Jiang Cheng didn't want to stay in the yard any longer, so he went back to the house first. There was a charcoal fire in the house, which was very warm. Jiang Cheng read storybooks and made some clothes in the house, feeling very comfortable.
After Song Tingzhi sent Xu Sanniang and the others home, Xu Sanniang urged Song Tingzhi to go back.
"Okay, now that we're home, you should go back first! Chengcheng is still waiting for you at home! We just got home and have to pack our luggage and don't have time to cook, so you should hurry back and eat! Ah!"
Xu Sanniang first took the things off the donkey cart, and let Song Tingzhi go back before even opening the door.
Song Tingzhi didn't have any thoughts. He just felt that what Xu Sanniang said made sense. After all, Jiang Cheng was pregnant and alone at home, so he was worried. What if something happened...
After hearing what Xu Sanniang said, Song Tingzhi turned around and drove away in his donkey cart.
When Xu Sanniang saw him leave, she opened the door and went in to pack her things.
As soon as Song Yu got home, he took Xiao Hui out to play with him.
"This kid, there's snow outside, but he just knows how to run out to play. Humph! He'll cry as soon as he falls!" Xu Sanniang looked at Song Yu who ran out in a flash and said to Song Tao.
"He's still young! Just let him play!" When Song Tao heard Xu Sanniang say this, he came over to speak well of Song Yu.
Ever since Song Yu ran away in anger and couldn't be found for a long time, Song Tao didn't dare to say anything harsh to Song Yu, for fear that the child would cause trouble again.
Song Yu is at the age when he is making trouble. There always has to be someone in the family who plays the good guy and the bad guy. Song Tao is the good guy.
"Just spoil him!" Xu Sanniang rolled her eyes and said to him.
Song Tao smiled without saying anything and helped Xu Sanniang with her work.
Song Yu took Xiao Hui and ran to the end of the village. He saw that the rabbit he had placed had been moved and the note had been taken away. He knew that Zhang Jinyou had been there.
Song Yu arranged the little rabbit again. He decided to make an appointment with Zhang Jinyou to meet at a certain time every month to avoid such inconvenience.
Song Yu placed the stones, looked at Xiao Hui beside him, held his head and said, "Xiao Hui, you can't talk nonsense, do you hear me?"
"Woo——" Xiao Hui called out softly.
Seeing it like this, Song Yu suddenly realized that Xiao Hui couldn't speak either, and he felt too guilty.
Song Yu let go of Xiao Hui's head and took it back.
Song Tingzhi hurriedly drove his donkey cart to the town at lunchtime. Jiang Cheng was reading a storybook in the house. Hearing the noise, he came out to greet him.
"Let's eat!" Jiang Cheng knew that he was rushing back for dinner when he saw how exhausted he looked.
Jiang Cheng went to the woodshed to heat up the food so that it would be delicious.
Song Tingzhi followed Jiang Cheng and helped him bring the food to the table. He also brought the bowls and chopsticks and served them to Jiang Cheng.
After dinner, Song Tingzhi washed the dishes and went into the house with Jiang Cheng to keep warm.
"By the way, when I bought tofu today, many people asked you when you would sell venison!" Jiang Cheng went into the house and took off his coat, suddenly remembering what happened in the morning and asked.
"Sell it tomorrow. I'll send some to that kid Qi Yu in the afternoon, and then give some to Fang Kun. Leave some at home so that we can eat together as a family when we get home!" Song Tingzhi helped him hang up the clothes and helped him sit down on the bed.
"Okay, it's up to you to decide. By the way, what about the deer blood?" Jiang Cheng asked, thinking of the deer blood in the woodshed.
"I'll ask if there are any pharmacies that want it this afternoon. Deer blood can be used to make deer blood wine!" said Song Tingzhi.
"Yeah." Jiang Cheng nodded and lay on the bed according to Song Tingzhi's strength.
Song Tingzhi covered him with the quilt and lay down outside him, accompanying Jiang Cheng to sleep warmly.
In the afternoon, Song Tingzhi took a piece of venison wrapper and went to find Qi Yu.
After seeing Qi Yu, Song Tingzhi handed the venison to him. When Qi Yu heard that it was venison, he was so happy that he couldn't help but smile. His father had just asked him to find some venison recently. Qi Yu didn't know where to get it, so Song Tingzhi was really a timely help.
Not only that, Qi Yu also whispered to Song Tingzhi to go back during the Chinese New Year this year to ask Jiang Cheng whether his good friend He Xiaomi was engaged.
After listening to this, Song Tingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously.
"My father has been urging me to get married, and I just thought that boy was nice, so I was thinking..." Qi Yu felt embarrassed when Song Tingzhi stared at him, and said while touching his head.
"You kid! I can't guarantee that they will agree!" Song Tingzhi understood what he meant and did not refuse. He planned to go back and ask for him.
"If it succeeds, I will definitely have a drink at Brother Song's wedding!" Qi Yu said with a slight bow.
"Okay, I'll go back first!" Song Tingzhi went to the pharmacy without saying much to him.
The pharmacy took Song Tingzhi's deer blood and gave him four taels of silver. Song Tingzhi took the money and went back without staying outside for long.
The next day, Song Tingzhi got up early and started preparing to sell the venison.
When the shop opened early in the morning, some people noticed that it was Song Tingzhi who came to sell goods, and they knew that what they were selling today was venison, so they came to line up.
