After listening to Ji Ying finish speaking.
Song Xia looked at Ji Ying and said, "Have you taken back those several hundred taels of silver you gave me before?"
Upon hearing this...
Ji Ying replied truthfully, "No, you've helped me make so much money, why would I bother with such a small amount? Please accept these, the rest are my New Year's gifts for you."
"Okay, I'll take it. I won't stand on ceremony."
Song Xia didn't accept Ji Ying's New Year's gift for nothing; she gave him about twenty catties of the cured pork, sausages, and pork ribs they had made this year.
As for Cui Yunsu and her group...
Song Xia also prepared New Year's gifts, which Fang Zheng delivered today.
Fang Zheng has already met three girls, but he hasn't liked any of them.
It's not that I'm looking for something particularly beautiful.
Rather, it's because none of them appealed to him.
Cui Yunsu's gifts were not in vain; she returned to Song Xia a considerable amount of fruit, local specialties from other places, several bolts of fine cotton cloth, and some books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones that Song Dong could use.
Look at how many replies she gave.
Song Xia was a little embarrassed.
December 28th is a holiday, and Song Xia is distributing New Year's gifts to everyone today. The shop asked Song Lao Si and his team to deliver them.
At home.
Song Xia, Fang Zheng, Song Chun, Fang Xiu, and Song Qiu distributed the items to everyone together.
There weren't many people.
It didn't take long to finish sending them all out.
Song Lao Er and his family were a little happier now, because several people from their family worked in the workshop, and each person weighed a few kilograms, so together they made quite a lot.
Qiao Lianhua didn't leave after getting the things. She handed them to Song Lao Er and then came up to Song Xia, saying, "Xiaxia, is your uncle looking for a wife?"
Upon hearing her ask that question...
Song Xia guessed what she was thinking: "Yes, but my uncle wants to find someone he likes."
"I see."
Qiao Lianhua continued, "I have a niece who will be fifteen a few days after the New Year. Although she's just reached the age of marriage, she's quite diligent. How about we let her..."
She hadn't finished speaking.
Song Xia interrupted her: "It's no use telling me this. You should talk to my uncle. If he's willing, then we can go for it; if not, then forget it."
You brat.
She spoke to her kindly.
She actually told her to go find Fang Zheng!
Qiao Lianhua still wanted to try and went to Fang Zheng, but he directly refused her: "No need, I don't want to find someone too young, after all, I'm already over twenty."
He wasn't happy about the younger one.
Who is it!
Fang Zheng doesn't want to look at other houses for the time being; he wants to focus on repairing the house first.
Although he is not from this village, he can still build a house here by spending more money, but he will not be allocated land.
originally.
Fang Zheng planned to pay back Song Xia's money first, then repair the house and find a wife.
Song Xia told him to pay it back later.
I couldn't go against her.
Fang Zheng had no choice but to deposit the money.
They provided him with food and lodging, so he hardly had any expenses. He has already saved more than ten taels of silver.
Song Xia said that returning two hundred taels of silver would suffice.
Fang Zheng went to see the old doctor from before.
He told him.
He spent a total of over three hundred taels.
Although Song Xia told him not to pay back that much, he still planned to pay it back in full.
Fang Zheng bought the land on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. He bought two acres of land and spent five taels of silver.
He plans to build an adobe house.
Fang Xiu suggested that he repair the tiled house and gave him the wages that Song Xia had given him.
If he doesn't want it, just say you'll lend it to him.
Let him build a tiled house to live in.
After all, once the house is repaired, people are going to live in it for a long time.
The next day was Lunar New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Fang Zheng got up to help Fang Xiu and the others with their work. Today, they were mainly preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and putting up paper-cut window decorations.
Song Xia slept in late today, and when she woke up, they were almost ready.
She hadn't originally planned to cook; she let them do it.
Who would have thought?
Cui Yunsu and her family have arrived. They didn't want to spend the New Year at home, so they came to their house to celebrate.
"Welcome, welcome..."
Old Song was very enthusiastic towards them, simply because they all said that Song Dong was a good kid and that if he was properly nurtured, he would have a bright future.
Fang Xiu and the others were the same.
Song Dong, in particular, greeted them and then went to bring them stools to sit on.
Song Xia chatted with them for a few minutes before going to help prepare lunch.
Since they're here, she naturally has to show off a few skills.
She cooked a few dishes and left the rest to Song Laosi and the others.
Song Xia's cooking was always better than Song Lao Si's. Her dishes were all eaten clean, while Song Lao Si and his group left some of each dish uneaten.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
They ate and drank their fill.
Song Xia sat with them, chatting, drinking tea, and eating snacks.
Less than 15 minutes.
Song Xing arrived and said that Grandma wanted everyone to come to her house for dinner tonight, implying that they should get together for the New Year.
Cui Yunsu and the others didn't stay for dinner and said goodbye to Song Xia and the others before mid-afternoon.
Even if they kept them.
They didn't stay either.
Song Xia and the others went to Song Lao Er's house at dusk. They were the first to arrive; Song Lao Er and the others hadn't arrived yet.
Granny Song didn't ask Song Xia and the others to do anything; she just asked them to sit down and talk to her.
As they chatted...
Granny Song's gaze fell on Fang Zheng. After looking him over, she called Song Xia aside to speak: "Xia'er, Grandma has something to ask you. What do you think of your uncle and Xiao Cao? Do they seem like a good match?"
What? Her uncle and Xiaocao?
Will this work?
They are not related by blood, but Xiaocao calls her own mother "Fourth Aunt".
If they got together...
How should we address him/her from now on?
Song Xia came to her senses and said, "Grandma, you're asking me, but I don't know either. You know my uncle, he's been on several dates, but none of them worked out. Unless he's willing, it won't work out."
She had just finished speaking.
Granny Song said, "I know, I just wanted you to ask. If it's okay, then it's okay; if not, then it's fine. Compared to marrying other people, I think it's better for her to marry your uncle. Your uncle is reliable, hardworking, calm, and composed, better than many others."
"Does the little grass know?"
Song Xia asked.
Granny Song shook her head.
She said frankly, "I want to ask your uncle first."
That's fine too.
Song Xia accepted the task without having a good chance to refuse Granny Song.
Thinking that it was still early before dinner.
Song Xia used the excuse of getting into trouble by playing with pine needles to call Fang Zheng out.
She didn't mention this at first.
After removing the pine needles.
Song Xia told him about this.
Fang Zheng never imagined that he would be involved with Song Xiaocao.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Xia'er, your uncle doesn't have any feelings for Song Xiaocao, and I don't like girls with that kind of personality. Please help me reject her."
"Um."
Song Xia went back and told Granny Song.
Granny Song was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't say anything.
It's normal that Founder Group doesn't think much of it.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people visit the graves of their deceased relatives.
Song Xia and the others paid respects at the graves of the Song family's ancestors early in the morning before going to pay respects at the grave of Fang Xiu and the others' mother.
They ran into Fang Shuisheng and his group as soon as they came down.
Fang Shuisheng and his group were not there to pay respects at the grave of Fang Xiu's mother, but rather to pay respects to the ancestors of the Fang family.
Fang Xiu and Fang Zheng had no intention of paying them any attention.
The same was true for Song Xia and his group.
But unexpectedly.
Yang Cuiniang blocked their way: "You don't even greet us when we meet? Are you cutting ties with us?"
