Chapter 402 Wedding Invitation
When Xu Qingye returned home in the evening, it was already dark. Seeing no one in the house, he hurriedly asked, "Mom, is Tang'er not home yet?"
Jiang brought the food to the table.
"She went back to town. She said she had some business there." She sighed. "She's busy. You're buried in books all day. I'm worried that your wife has run away with someone else."
Xu Qingye pursed his lips and smiled.
"She won't."
"Of course I know she won't, but there are so many wolves and tigers outside. And your wife is so beautiful. Who knows how many people are thinking about her." Jiang glanced at her son and handed him the chopsticks.
Her daughter-in-law has been away a lot recently, and she is really worried about her.
The key point is that his son's personality has always been lukewarm. Although the two of them are getting along much closer than before, it seems that they haven't reached that point yet.
As a mother, she could only watch anxiously as she saw it all.
I don’t know when I will be able to hold my grandson in my arms.
Xu Qingye didn't say anything else. There was a flash of thought in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Oh, right." Jiang looked at him. "Your father has been gone for four or five days. Mother is worried. After Tang'er comes back in a few days, I have to go back to Lushan Village to prevent your father from being urged to drink by that evil-hearted Gousheng."
Young people are always thin-skinned.
They always feel a little uncomfortable with their elders around, so they need to spend more time together. However, her son's imperial examination is coming soon, and Tang'er is busy on weekdays. She has to take care of her son's life, so she probably can't stay at home for too long.
No one knows what the younger son is doing these days. When Xia Ning is at home, he always pesters her to teach him kung fu. As soon as Xia Ning leaves, he starts to go out early and come back late.
It's true that children should not be kept when they grow up.
…
During the days that Song Yuntang stayed at the manor, he would set aside two hours every day to go to Baicaotang to see patients.
Nowadays, almost everyone in Cile Town knows her name. Upon hearing the news that she was coming to see patients, those ladies who were once so arrogant, whether they were sick or not, would line up outside Baicaotang early in the morning just to show their faces in front of her.
The rest of the time, Song Yuntang was looking for insect eggs on the farm or collecting pepper seeds in the greenhouse.
As she looked at the small basket of insect eggs she had found in the ground, thoughts flashed through her eyes.
Locusts can not only be used as medicine, but can also be eaten directly.
Before the pest breaks out, in order to keep the people alive, perhaps she could encourage everyone to collect locusts and exchange them for food with her.
Not only did the pest problem get solved, but the people could also have food to eat. The collected locusts could be removed of their wings and feet and dried, then sold to medicinal material wholesalers. Some of the remaining plump ones could be taken to Mingyue Tower and Huajianzui to make new dishes.
In this way, even if the harvest is reduced this year, as long as we work harder, we will not fail to survive this year.
After her mind was opened, she felt that she was really smart!
"Uncle Qiao, Uncle Qiao, let me tell you something..."
When Qiao Da and Qiao Er heard her words, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.
“What are you collecting locusts for?”
"Locusts can be used as medicine and cooked into dishes. They are delicious and nutritious."
The two looked at her strangely.
“Eating bugs?”
When Qiao Er thought of the scene of eating locusts, he felt like vomiting.
"I can understand using it as medicine, but making it into a dish..." he asked uncertainly, "Can this disgusting thing be eaten? Don't get yourself poisoned. You bought this food with real money."
Song Yuntang's face was full of confidence.
"Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao, just spread the news. When the time comes, collect the wings and legs, dry them, and store them. You can take them when you need them. But if there is a large-scale locust outbreak, you can't collect them. At this time, the locusts are not suitable for use as medicine or food."
When locusts live together too densely, they will produce a toxic substance, and the locusts at this time are inedible.
After saying that, he handed the basket of locust eggs to Xia Ning and asked her to destroy the eggs.
Now that five granaries have been built on the farm, I will have to ask my second brother and Tu Shi to go to other places to buy another batch of grain.
Affected by the disaster in Anyang County, the grain prices in other places have also increased, but they are still cheaper than those in Yingshan City.
We don’t know how widespread the locust plague is this time. If it’s everywhere, food prices will probably continue to rise.
It seems we have to hurry up.
With this in mind, she went to the wooden shed where rouge was made.
"Brother Eldest Cousin and Second Cousin, you two should go to the provincial capital now, and go with my second brother and Tu Shi to collect some more food from other places."
Song Xiangming and Song Chengren nodded.
"Okay, let's go now."
"You're such a busy man. It's really not easy to see you." After saying this, Jiang Surao went into the wooden shed.
Song Yuntang looked back and when he saw the person, there was joy on his face.
"Why are you here!"
Jiang Su Rao smiled and took out a red wedding invitation from her sleeve. "Here, I'll personally send you an invitation to give you some face, okay?"
"Ah!" Song Yuntang took it and unfolded it. On the invitation was Jiang Surao and a strange name. "June 18th, next month."
She looked up at Jiang Surao.
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Su Rao nodded, "Confirmed."
She took Song Yuntang's arm and walked out of the house, following her towards the yard.
"Yang Linyuan came to see me at the end of last year, but since I said it was in the past, it was in the past. Besides, he couldn't guarantee that I would be the only one in the backyard. Xiao Lang is very good. Although his family background is not so good, he has enough food and clothing. The most important thing is that his parents are loving and kind to others. There are no concubines or other messy people in his family."
Although there was a hint of regret in her tone, she seemed to be truly satisfied with the person she was marrying.
Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
Although the Yang family is wealthy, if you are not happy, no matter how much money you have, it cannot wash away the grievances in life. It is better to find someone who can live a peaceful life.
It's a lifetime anyway, so as long as you have enough food and clothing, there is really no need to compromise and marry into a wealthy family.
Song Yuntang glanced in her direction.
"Your satisfaction is more important than anything else."
Jiang Surao listened and leaned her head on her shoulder.
"I was quite sad about Yang Linyuan's matter some time ago. After meeting Xiao Lang a few times, I suddenly figured it out."
Song Yuntang joked.
"Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang, you're so sweet."
Jiang Surao patted her arm unhappily.
"You're annoying, and you're making fun of me."
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Is the Xiao Lang you mentioned also from our Cile Town?"
Jiang Surao nodded, "His father and my mother are from the same hometown. They have known each other since childhood and know each other very well. His family has properties in the town and the county, but they don't live in the town. My aunt likes quietness, so my uncle did the same as you. He bought a small farm in a good location and built an elegant courtyard for my aunt for the family of five to live in."
"Does he have brothers and sisters?" Song Yuntang asked.
Jiang Su Rao nodded again, "There are two younger sisters below, one is fifteen and the other is twelve. I have met them both. They are both gentle and polite, not powerful characters."
According to the local customs, when my sister gets married in the future and her parents-in-law get older, the young couple will be in charge of the family, and the family relationship is indeed not complicated.
"It seems that Mrs. Jiang really takes your matter to heart."
Jiang Surao smiled and said, "That's my biological mother."
