After putting everything in order, Ling San and Ling Si left. Chi Xingyue looked at the unfamiliar house and felt at home again.
Erzhu hurriedly brought over a bucket and said, "Master, there's a brand new bathtub in the wing room. You and your wife should go and take a bath!"
Ling Jiheng nodded and asked Erzhu to deliver the water to Ling Weicheng first.
He and Xingyue are young and can wait a little longer, but his parents are extremely tired.
Erzhu nodded and hurried to the next room, only to find that Shu Muyun and Ling Weicheng were both yawning.
"Second Master, Second Madam, please hurry up and wash up. I'll go to the kitchen and see when the meal is ready!"
Ling Weicheng waved his hand, signaling him to go down.
Erzhu ran to the kitchen, looked at the noodles that had just come out of the pot, picked up two bowls and ran away.
"Hey, why are you running? I haven't even watered the vegetables yet!"
Erzhu immediately braked and asked Aunt Taohua to pour two large spoonfuls of fried sauce and a poached egg on the dish before taking it back to deliver the meal.
Just at this moment, the wife of the village head came.
Aunt Song, carrying two chickens, shouted as she entered the room, "Is anyone there?"
Zhang Taohua wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen: "Ah, why are you here, big sister? Please sit down, please sit down!"
Zhang Taohua was about to invite the person into the kitchen, but she found that she was holding a chicken in her hand, and she was in a dilemma for a moment.
Aunt Song didn't move. She smiled and held up two chickens. "My old man was worried that you hadn't prepared anything, so he asked me to send two chickens over to welcome Old Master Ling!"
Zhang Taohua knew that living in the village would require the care of the village head, so she hurriedly took Aunt Song's arm and went to the gate of the main courtyard.
"Old lady, Madam, the wife of the village head is here!"
Geng Suhua heard Zhang Taohua's voice and hurried out of the house, smiling and greeting her: "The village head's wife is here, come in and sit down!
We just arrived and haven't set things up yet, so don't be disgusted by us."
Before, Geng Suhua wouldn't even look at the other person.
But it’s different now. After experiencing exile, her arrogance is gone and she looks much more approachable.
It was the first time that Aunt Song had seen such an exquisite blue brick and tile house. She stuffed the chicken into Zhang Taohua's arms and followed her in.
"Wow, this house looks beautiful from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be even more amazing inside!"
For farmers, having a roof over their heads is already very good, let alone several such beautiful houses.
The house is full of new furniture. Aunt Song dares to say that the money spent on this house alone is enough for her family to marry two or three wives.
I couldn't help but click my tongue, thinking that he was indeed a wealthy man from the south. There was no comparison, no comparison.
At this time, the old lady also came out of the house and asked Xiaohe to make tea. She also took out the cakes she bought in the county town for Aunt Song to taste.
"Normally, we should have visited first, but I didn't expect Madam Song to come first. I'd like to thank the headmaster's wife here!"
Aunt Song was very happy to hear the lady calling her so kindly.
He felt that it was more pleasant to get along with these knowledgeable people, so he pulled the two of them aside to talk about village gossip.
As they were talking, the moon was already high in the sky. Zhang Taohua gave the others some noodles and asked Shitou to report to the village headman.
As a result, before I even stepped out of the threshold, Song Lizheng came in.
Tired and hungry, the first thing he said was, "Are there any problems on your end?"
Back to half an hour ago, out of humanitarianism, Song Lizheng brought a chicken to visit the Cui family.
As soon as I reached the east end of the village, I heard the Han family complaining: "Dad, this house doesn't even have a roof, how can we live in it?"
"This wall is about to collapse. I feel like if I apply a little force..."
The young bear kicked the wall, and the yellow mud wall broke into several pieces and collapsed.
Even the few remaining worm-eaten beams on the roof fell down, and the entire scene was in chaos.
Song Lizheng was extremely angry, thinking that how could someone waste things like this.
It would have been fine if it had been renovated, but now it has to be rebuilt!
Suppressing his anger, he stepped forward and asked knowingly, "What's going on?"
The Han family members complained to Song Lizheng one after another, and did not notice that his face was becoming more and more gloomy.
It was Old Master Han who stepped forward to smooth things over: "Li Zheng Song, the younger generation is ignorant, please don't bother with them.
After all the hardship on the road, I finally arrived and wanted to have a good sleep. But...
Song Lizheng, are there any other houses for sale or rent in the village?
Song Shoushan waved his hand: "No, no, except this thatched hut, there is no other vacant room.
How about you just make do with it tonight, and I'll get someone to fix it for you tomorrow?"
In fact, it cannot be repaired at all. This is just said to appease people.
If it was half a month ago, the Han family might not have been so anxious. After all, it was common to spend the night in the wilderness while on the road of exile.
But it’s not possible now. The weather in Youzhou is cold, especially at night. The north wind blows so hard that it can almost blow your head out.
There was no other way before, but now we are in the village, we can't continue to endure hunger and cold!
Old Man Han bowed and said, "I wonder if I could stay with the villagers for one night? Please ask the village head for help!"
Song Lizheng didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but when he thought of the heavy silver note, he agreed.
But: "You can't live here for free, at least give them some money as a token of appreciation!"
Old Master Han nodded, indicating that he understood the rules.
A group of people went door to door in the village asking, and the Han family's grandson was still confused: "Why can't we stay at the Ling family?"
The Han family remained silent and did not want to answer this question.
Why else? The gap is too big. I’m afraid that after watching it, there will be a psychological gap.
Song Lizheng sighed slightly, thinking that they were all pitiful people. They were originally rich and powerful, but in the end...
Well, why should he sympathize with others? He is still poor himself, who will pity him?
Song Lizheng put aside his thoughts and diligently helped the Han family make arrangements.
I didn't finish my work until the moon was at its highest point in the sky. I stopped by to see if the Ling family needed any help.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard his wife laughing loudly, and Song Lizheng was extremely embarrassed.
Ling Shitou was the smart one, shouting at the top of his voice: "Grandpa, Grandpa, Song Lizheng is here!"
Ling Weiyuan injured his leg and couldn't move, so Old Master Ling went out to greet him and told Shitou, "Tell your mother to make another bowl of noodles and bring it over quickly!"
Stone responded: "Yes!"
Just ran to the kitchen.
"Oh, no, no!"
Shitou ran very fast and turned a deaf ear to Song Lizheng's refusal.
Seeing the young man running away, Song Lizheng smiled awkwardly: "Sorry to bother you, old man!"
The old man patted his arm and said, "What's the big deal? Come in, let's eat and talk!"
Ever since Aunt Song heard the voice of Song Lizheng, she has been extremely scared.
As she started chatting, she forgot the time and almost thought that the boss was coming to arrest her.
Fortunately, I didn't panic, otherwise I would have been embarrassed.
Seeing that the people next door were chatting, they no longer had any reservations and chatted even more happily.
