Chapter 27 Second Grandfather



However, Song Jinxiu and his party entered the village at noon.

Song Fuquan drove the ox cart directly to the village head's house.

The villagers that Lu xiao occasionally met also came and went in a hurry.

"Hey, spring is back, are your legs better now?"

Song Chun said: "Yes, it's fine, but it's not ready to go to the fields yet. The boss said it needs to be taken care of for a month."

"Of course. It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Even after a month, don't do heavy work. Wait until you're fully recovered."

Another person asked, "Then where will you live when you go home? There is nowhere to live. My family will arrange one for you, but no more."

"No need, uncle. I live at the village head's house."

"Okay. Well, you guys go home quickly. I'm helping you build a house, so I have to go over there quickly."

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

"Why is it so hard? It's only fifteen cents a day. It's not like I'm working for nothing, hahaha."

It turned out that these people were helping to build the house.

The head of the village explained, "There are not many. I don't have the energy to take care of the food, so I give more money, 20 coins for big ones and 15 coins for small ones. I'm keeping a record of it. We can settle it later."

Song Chun said quickly: "Grandpa is the boss, there is no need to reconcile the accounts."

The brother and sister discussed it and decided that the one thousand taels would be given to the head of the village. The house would be built according to the blueprint drawn by Song Jinxiu, and the head of the village would buy the land for them, and he could do whatever he wanted with it.

After all, if the Song family knew that they were building houses and buying land, they would definitely come and make trouble.

Even if they were adopted, they would not beat their biological father, so they would rely on the village head grandfather to support them in the future.

In fact, they also know what's going on. As the head of the village, they will not treat them unfairly.

The head of the village smiled and said, "If you don't check the account, I will keep it for you.

I was hesitant about buying land at first, fearing that if I bought too much, your father and his people would come and take advantage of it. I felt so bad for you.

In fact, I have thought it through. If they really make trouble, I will spend some money to buy out their parenting rights completely.

But this time it's all right, the adoption documents have been completed, and now you have a clear path ahead. You will no longer have any relationship with your father and his family, and even if you have a mountain of wealth in the future, they will have no share in it. They are all from my third uncle’s branch, hahahaha…”

Song Fuquan covered his face and said: Grandpa is so ashamed, he is Chun Dongge's biological father after all, isn't it bad for you to gloat over his misfortune?

The head of the village laughed and looked at Song Jinxiu and her sister, "And you two, all the sesame candies you bring back to your parents' home in the future will be mine. Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel so sweet!"

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "You really want to eat hemp candy, so I'll buy it for you now."

The head of the village shook his head: "That's different. It doesn't taste the same if you eat it now."

The local custom is that a married woman will bring back a kind of fried noodle dish when she returns to her parents' home in the first year.

Use eggs, sugar, and white flour to ferment, knead into a dough, roll it into a thick pancake with a rolling pin, cut into large rectangles, and fry in a pan.

The fried sesame candy is golden, crispy, sweet and fragrant.

Some girls love their parents very much and bring sesame candies every time they go back to their parents' home. Girls who bring more sesame candies are filial daughters.

"You're back?"

When the village head's grandmother heard the ox cart coming in, she hurried out of the house.

"Hey, Haru is back too? Is that great?"

The village head grandmother was in a good mood today. Chun was adopted by her third uncle, and she finally stood up straight in front of her father-in-law.

She had two sons since she was born. When she said that they would be adopted by her third uncle, she didn't say it, but she felt very uncomfortable inside, so her face was naturally not looking good.

I don't know if Uncle San suddenly announced that he would be alone for the rest of his life because he was unhappy.

Because of this, her father-in-law has always disliked her.

But today, when she went to deliver food to her father-in-law, his family was in a good mood and praised her for her delicious cooking.

I also heard from the head of the family that in the spring they had received a huge amount of foreign money and were going to buy a hundred acres of land.

She was jealous at first, but then she heard the head of the family analyze that Chun and the others were now adopted by the third uncle, so the child was living a good life, wasn't it also a benefit to the family?

Not to mention anything else, during the holidays, why does this child come here empty-handed?

Originally, her family had more than fifty acres of land, which was unmatched except for Song Dashi's family.

No, why are they the only two families sending their grandchildren to school?

Now, Song Dashi's beloved grandson has been adopted into their family with a huge fortune. Hum, she is Song Dashi's wife. If that quarrelsome woman knew about this, I wonder if she would be furious. Thinking about it, the wife of the village head started to laugh.

The village head's grandmother was in a good mood. Before Chun could answer, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Oh, oh, this is Jinxiu and Jinfang? Oh, Qiu? How come they have changed so much? I can't recognize them."

Song Jinfang asked in surprise: "Grandma, how do you know my sister's name is Jinxiu and mine is Jinfang?"

"As for me, I heard from your brother Fuquan that you two have names now, and you also said that you emphasized that we should call each other by our names in the future, and not call each other San Ya or Wu Ya anymore. Didn't I remember that?"

"Um"

Song Jinfang immediately smiled and said, "It's still the village head grandma who has a good memory. The village head grandpa always forgets that my name is Jinfang."

The village head smiled and said, "Don't forget it, little Jinfang, and still call me Grandpa. We are one family from now on, so just call me Second Grandpa."

"Yes, Second Grandpa"

"Hahaha, okay, old lady, have you cooked yet? The children are hungry. Where is the eldest daughter of the first family and the second daughter of the second family?"

"They went to deliver food to the eldest and second sons. Chun couldn't leave that house, so they didn't go home for lunch."

Then he added, "I'm going to cook now. I didn't know Chun and the others would be back. So I didn't cook that much."

Jinxiu said quickly, "Second Madam, I bought rice and flour, as well as steamed buns and vegetable cakes. Let's have some steamed buns and some noodle soup."

As she spoke, she picked up a bag of rice and walked towards the kitchen.

The village head’s grandmother quickly stopped them and said, “Hey, save this rice and flour for when you move to your new home.”

"This is bought for our family. We'll eat it later, Second Grandma. We have money now." Song Jinxiu smiled and blinked.

The village head grandmother smiled and hit her, "How can you say that about your own family?"

The head of the village was so excited by her words "our family" that he still tried to put on a straight face and said angrily:

"That won't work. You are all still young. If you don't be careful, you will eventually run out of money even if you have a mountain of gold."

Song Jinxiu quickly said, "I understand. I will be frugal in the future and never spend money recklessly."

After the family had a lively meal, the four brothers and sisters couldn't sit still anymore.

It’s their new house. There was no way to get it in the county, but now that they’re back, why would they be so reluctant to go and see it?

Song Jinxiu said, "Brother, wait a minute. I'll get you a pair of crutches and then pull you on a flatbed cart. Let's go look at the house."

Song Chun nodded, "Okay."

Fuquan said: "I will go with you."

It’s easy to make a walking stick. Just find two wooden sticks with branches.

Fuquan was wrapping some old clothes around the tree branches again. Song Chun put them under his armpits and walked slowly for two steps to try them out. He nodded and said, "It works."

Song Fuquan found another cart and said with a smile: "You can use the cane occasionally, but if you want to go a long way, you should take the cart.
