Chapter 147 He is my brother
The three or four-year-old child spoke clearly, just like a little adult, "Mother said that Fubao's illness was cured by auntie. Fubao should be grateful and repay auntie in the future."
Chen Xier, who was standing by, was very pleased to hear this.
Song Yuntang looked in her direction, then touched Fubao's head and said, "Fubao is really good, but Auntie doesn't want Fubao to repay you now. What Fubao needs to do now is to take good care of his body and grow up healthily. Do you understand?"
Fubao nodded, not quite understanding.
"Fubao knows."
Glancing at the rabbit doll he had placed aside, Song Yuntang asked, "Is this your toy?"
"Uncle Mazi made it for me because he was afraid that I would be bored staying in the room alone. Uncle Jinsheng and Uncle Zhiye also made a katydid and a praying mantis for me out of cattails." As he spoke, he moved closer to Song Yuntang and covered his mouth with his little hands and whispered, "It's just that the katydid and praying mantis they made are too similar, so I always make the mistake."
After hearing this, Song Yuntang couldn't help laughing.
“Is it so similar?”
Fubao stuck his butt out and crawled to the head of the bed and brought "Grasshopper" and "Mantis" to Song Yuntang.
"Auntie, look."
Song Yuntang held the two "insects" in his hands and looked at them from left to right. They looked neither like katydids nor mantises, but more like two bundles of grass.
She said with a strange look, "This... is indeed hard to tell apart. No wonder Fubao made a mistake. I almost didn't recognize it."
In other words, children are easy to fool and have strong imagination. The craftsmanship of my second brother and third cousin can only fool three-year-old children.
Song Yuntang couldn't tell what he was saying, and Fubao smiled with his little teeth showing while holding two small bundles of grass.
Song Yuntang took Fubao's pulse, confirmed that he was fine, and then left.
She looked at Chen Xier and said, "You should be older than me. From now on, I will call you Sister Xier."
Chen Xier nodded, "Okay."
"I plan to open a tavern in town. I wonder if it would be convenient for Sister Xier to go there and help out after Fubao recovers?" Song Yuntang stated his purpose directly.
Chen Xier quickly responded, "Of course there is no problem with this. Miss Song saved my son, so from now on I belong to Miss Song. I will do whatever Miss Song arranges. As long as Miss Song can continue to take us in and give us food to eat, I will be satisfied."
In today's world, it is not easy for a woman to live alone, especially for a divorced woman with a child.
For her, if she could rely on Song Yuntang and repay his kindness while raising the child, she would be very satisfied.
Song Yuntang smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you help me wholeheartedly, I will have to rely on you two to feed me. Take good care of Fubao these few days. You can stop taking the medicine today or tomorrow. The blisters on Fubao's body have scabbed over and are not contagious anymore. Let him get out and move around to strengthen his body."
As she spoke, she handed her the two sachets she had brought with her.
"Hang these two sachets in the yard."
Chen Xier reached out and took it, "Okay."
Song Yuntang looked at the other rooms again. Perhaps because she was going to move in soon, the blue bricks in the house had been laid flat and swept clean, without a speck of dust.
The toilet was also rebuilt according to her standards in the town.
We can move in directly after she moves the furniture from town.
Before going out, Chen Xier prepared a bunch of wild vegetables for Song Yuntang that she had dug from the mountains early in the morning.
"Miss Song, take this to town and eat it. I picked it from the mountains this morning."
The two mountains here belong to the manor. Originally, few people came here. Since Song Yuntang bought this place and surrounded the mountains, even fewer people come here.
Seeing that she still had some left, Song Yuntang didn't refuse.
"Just go do your thing. I'll go check out the woodshed. I'll bring you some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she came to the gate of the courtyard and walked towards the wooden shed with Xu Qingye.
The men who were originally working and chattering suddenly shut up when they saw Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye walking towards them.
Qiao Da looked at the two of them politely.
"Yun Tang girl, Mr. Xu, you are here."
Song Yuntang smiled at everyone, "Everyone is busy. I just went to see Fubao. The blisters on his body have scabbed over and are not very contagious. We'll observe him for another two or three days. If there's no problem, we can go home and reunite on Moon Festival."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the expressions on the faces of the four people who came to help, except Song Mazi, soon became heavy again.
After finishing their work here, they had nothing to do.
Song Jinsheng emerged from the woods.
"Tang'er, let me talk to you."
Song Yuntang followed Song Jinsheng to the side.
"What does Second Brother want to tell me?"
Song Jinsheng glanced in the direction of the woodshed and lowered his voice and said, "I think the four people who came to help the farm this time are all pretty good. Brother Mazi still has to make furniture, so he still has things to do. As for the others, do you think there is anything else you want them to do?"
"Have you finished all the work in the mountains?" Song Yuntang asked.
Song Jinsheng nodded, "We have finished all the work in the mountains. You said we should dig a small pond near the duck shed, but Uncle Qiao suggested that we make the pond bigger, preferably to dig out a spring, so that we can raise some fish in it. Do you think we should continue digging?"
"This suggestion can be adopted." Song Yuntang looked at him, "Don't worry about making furniture and digging ponds. If nothing unexpected happens, I still have other urgent things to arrange for them to do."
"What's the matter?" Song Jinsheng asked.
"I plan to buy a tavern in town. If I need to renovate the shop, I might need a lot of manpower."
Song Jinsheng was a little surprised, "When?"
Song Yuntang said, "I'll give you a reply this afternoon. If everything goes well, we can start repairs tomorrow."
Song Jinsheng said hurriedly, "Then I'll wait for your news. Anyway, they are helping to make bamboo pots for the time being. If you need help, I can lead them to the town tomorrow. Then we can fence off the area around the shop and try to have as little contact with people as possible."
Song Yuntang hummed, "Do you have enough silver?"
Song Jinsheng calculated in his heart, "After deducting the money spent on buying wood, bamboo, bricks and tiles these days, there is less than two taels left. The wages for the opening day of Yuexi are still two taels short."
Song Yuntang turned sideways, completely avoiding everyone's sight, and took out his purse. While taking out the silver from the purse, he asked, "Has Second Brother calculated his own wages?"
Song Jinsheng touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Forget about mine. Even though I'm helping you, I feel like I haven't done anything all day."
Mainly, he's the older brother.
I always feel that it is a bit embarrassing for a brother to ask his sister for payment for helping her.
