Chapter 135 The Generous Song Family
At this moment, Zhong Xiaoxiao and Song Yanshen were both carrying "a huge sum of money," and Zhong Yuanyuan was wearing a longevity lock, a silver bracelet, and a silver necklace. Her little face was full of confusion, and she was holding a small bell on the silver bracelet in one hand, making it jingle incessantly.
The Song family had never seen such an adorable little girl before, and they all gathered around her.
"Oh my! This child is so adorable!"
"They're so well-fed, plump and healthy!"
Lan Chunxiao took Zhong Yuanyuan directly from Zhang Chunxue's hands, touched Zhong Yuanyuan's little face, looked at her second grandson, and said in an almost commanding tone: "Yan Xun, you and Xiao Yi must have a daughter!"
Lan Chunxiao's second son, Song Xingting, was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Mom! Whether a child is a boy or a girl isn't something Yan Xun and Xiao Yi can decide!"
The eldest son of Song Xingfeng, Song Yanqi, also pushed his son in front of Lan Chunxiao: "What, Mom, isn't your great-grandson more appealing?"
"It smells good, but with so many boys, it's not so special anymore!" Lan Chunxiao said with a look of melancholy.
Zhang Chunxue watched as the Song family surrounded Zhong Yuanyuan, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Fortunately, Zhong Yuanyuan wasn't the type to cry easily. Even when surrounded by a group of strangers, she just opened her big, dark eyes and looked around curiously.
This surprised the Song family once again.
Even the usually proud Yao Qingling couldn't resist coming over and squeezing her little hand.
Song Yanzhe, however, moved closer to Zhong Xiaoxiao and looked her up and down curiously: "I heard you're seventeen too?"
Seeing the unfamiliar boy, Zhong Xiaoxiao tilted her head: "What's wrong?"
“I’m seventeen too,” Song Yanzhe said smugly, “but I’ve already finished my first year of high school and I’m about to start my second year…”
"I heard you haven't started high school yet?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You're really something. You grew up in Beijing, and I grew up in the countryside. What's the point of comparing us?"
Song Yanze coughed lightly: "What I mean is, you have to call me brother."
Zhong Xiaoxiao perked up immediately: "We can't calculate it like that, we have to calculate the date of birth!"
Song Yanzhe's eyes flickered: "I started school a year earlier than you, so you have to call me brother!"
Upon seeing his expression, Zhong Xiaoxiao immediately understood: "I get it, you must be younger than me, otherwise you wouldn't need these excuses..."
Song Yanzhe: "..."
Damn it! How can this girl be so smart!
Aren't girls from rural areas supposed to be simple, kind, and honest?
If Zhong Xiaoxiao knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes at him again.
Being simple and kind doesn't mean being stupid!
She thought Song Yanzhe was a bit silly.
Song Xingzhi walked over and tapped Song Yanzhe on the forehead: "You're a month younger than Xiaoxiao, so you have to call her 'older sister'."
Song Yanzhe's lips twitched involuntarily.
However, he immediately glanced at Song Yanshen beside him: "Hmph, in my generation, I can't be the youngest... I have a younger brother too!"
It's just that his younger brother can't call him "older brother," which makes him a little sad.
Zhang Chunxue, however, began to think about how the twenty or so members of the Song family would live.
She tugged at Song Xingzhi's sleeve: "Xingzhi, how are all these people going to stay?"
The Song Dynasty was also facing some difficulties.
He had assumed that only his parents were coming, so he had booked a room for them at the guesthouse in advance. Now that so many people had arrived, he wasn't sure if the guesthouse could accommodate them all.
He beckoned to Zeng, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, and called him over.
"Xiao Zeng, could you go to the guesthouse and ask if they have any rooms available?"
Xiao Zeng immediately ran towards the town.
Zhong Aiguo chimed in, "It's alright. If the town's guesthouse can't accommodate everyone, there are so many households in our village. They can easily fit two people in one room."
His only concern was whether the Song family could adapt to the conditions in the countryside.
Hearing their conversation, Song Yanshan immediately smiled and said, "It's alright, we can all fit. We just need a place to lie down."
However, with so many people from the Song family arriving, there were also more people willing to help.
The other women from the village who came to help were initially a little reserved, thinking that since they came from the capital, they would be difficult to get along with and that the Song family would look down on them, who were from the countryside. However, they did not expect that the Song family would be so kind and friendly. After a few words, the atmosphere immediately became harmonious.
Xiao Zeng returned quickly.
The town's guesthouse was indeed short of rooms, with a total of four or five people left over. Zhong Aiguo immediately set about making arrangements, asking anyone with a spare room to vacate.
This was a chance to meet some "important people" in the capital, and many villagers immediately raised their hands to sign up.
Zhong Aiguo picked and chose from among these people, and then arranged for several male members of the Song family to live in the relatively clean and tidy house.
After returning from the hospital, Zhou Mingli went straight to the brigade headquarters.
She had already taken leave; for the next three days, she would stay home to help Zhang Chunxue and Da Song with their wedding arrangements.
She was stopped by someone before she even reached the brigade headquarters.
"Oh my, Mingli, your mother-in-law is really something now! So many people from the Song family in the capital have come to visit!"
"Yes, yes, I heard they gave two or three thousand as a meeting gift. I saw your Yuanyuan wearing a silver necklace!"
Zhou Mingli was also a little confused and had no idea what they were talking about.
But when Zhou Mingli arrived at the brigade headquarters and saw the Song family, she felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, her status is quite awkward. Although she is Zhang Chunxue's goddaughter, she is also Zhang Chunxue's former daughter-in-law!
However, she didn't feel uncomfortable for long, because the next second several red envelopes were stuffed into his hand.
Zhou Mingli was even more caught off guard than Zhang Chunxue.
Holding several red envelopes, she stammered, "This...this I can't accept...I,I..."
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Wenbi looked at her with a smile. "You are Chunxue's daughter. We came here specifically to give her family a gift, and of course, we can't leave out a single one."
Zhou Mingli looked at him like he was holding a few pieces of burning coal: "No, no, I'm embarrassed."
Lan Chunxiao simply stuffed the red envelopes into her arms: "Just take them, there's nothing to be embarrassed about! We'll be family from now on!"
But Zhou Mingli had never seen so much money before, and she felt awkward, so she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Chunxue.
Zhang Chunxue actually knew beforehand that the Song family was very well-off and definitely not short of money.
But she never expected that Song Xingzhi's family would be so generous, spending several thousand yuan in such a short time.
