As soon as she got home, Granny Wang came over with the two treasures in her arms, and Song Yuehua just gave her 60 copper coins as settlement.
Granny Wang pushed me away and said, "We didn't know each other before, so I was paid for the service. After spending these days together, I know that you guys are all good kids. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I am happy to take care of the kids. If you insist on calculating it so clearly, just think that I am being sentimental."
Song Yuehua put away the copper coins and said helplessly, "Then I won't be polite to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law shouldn't be polite to me either."
Granny Wang said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you're welcome!"
The two talked for a while before Granny Wang went back.
Song Yuehua took out the cured fish and cured meat she brought back and hung them up. Xiaoyu looked at it with great curiosity. How come she went out with a basket of wild vegetables, and when she came back it turned into fish and meat?
"Xiaoyu, do you like your name?" Song Yuehua asked.
"like!"
Xiaoyu added, "Before, other people just called me that casually, it didn't mean anything. Now this name is different, it was specially chosen for me by my elder sister."
When raising children, it is easy to focus on the youngest, but Song Yuehua feels that Xiaoyu is the one who needs the most attention compared to the twins who only know how to eat and sleep every day.
With her parents gone, she is now Xiaoyu's only support.
Song Yuehua took Xiaoyu's hand and said softly, "Since I moved here, I've been outside every day. Xiaoyu, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid during the day when Granny Wang is around, but I do miss my sister a little bit." Xiaoyu pointed with her fingers, "A little bit."
Song Yuehua remembered it and hummed softly, "In the future, if you have any ideas in your heart, remember to tell your sister, don't hide them, understand?"
Xiaoyu nodded, took out a piece of paper from under the bed, handed it to Song Yuehua and said, "Sister, this is the house deed that Grandpa Zhou sent."
Song Yuehua took the title deed and looked at her name on it. She was so excited that she hugged Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, we have our own home now!"
Finally I have my own home!
The total area on the title deed is 3 mu. Since it is not arable land, there is no need to pay taxes, so you can build a house and grow vegetables.
Song Yuehua thought that she would ask Grandpa Zhou how much silver was needed to build the house. There were still seven taels of silver in savings at home, and the roe deer could probably be exchanged for three taels of silver, a total of ten taels.
I originally wanted to save up some money and finish it all at once, but now it seems that I should do it bit by bit. I have to build the toilet first. I have been doing it outside these days, which is not only inconvenient, but also unsafe.
The kitchen also needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible, as it is inconvenient to cook and boil water for taking a bath.
She took a bath at Granny Wang's house the day she came back. Xiaoyu hadn't taken a bath since she moved in, and this was not a good thing to continue in the long run.
I thought everything was getting better, but unexpectedly, when accidents happen, they often catch us off guard.
Song Yuehua slept for a long time during the day and couldn't sleep much at night. When she finally felt a little sleepy, she suddenly heard Xiaoyu humming a few words.
"Xiaoyu?"
After calling out without any response, Song Yuehua stood up, lit the lamp, and took a closer look. Xiaoyu's face was red and her forehead was hot.
Song Yuehua calmed herself down, quickly fetched a basin of cold water, and put a handkerchief on Xiaoyu's forehead.
After about three or four times, the temperature still didn't drop.
Song Yuehua cooled the handkerchief again, then dug out the silver from the corner and stuffed it into her arms, then went out with the oil lamp.
The person closest to their house was Granny Wang. Song Yuehua knocked for a long time before Granny Wang opened the door with her clothes on. "Daya, what's the matter so late?"
"Mother-in-law, Xiaoyu has a fever. Can you lend me some wine?"
Song Yuehua's voice was trembling when she spoke.
Granny Wang quickly put on her clothes and said, "I don't have any wine here. You can go to Zhao Ergou's house and they must have some. I'll go look after Xiaoyu. Be careful on the road!"
Song Yuehua nodded and ran towards the Zhao family.
The Zhao family lived at the entrance of the village. Song Yuehua was running desperately on the night road. In the empty and silent night, the only sound could be heard of her heart beating violently.
The Zhao family's door was knocked, and Zhao Ergou's impatient voice rang out from inside, "Who is it? Are you in such a hurry to kill me?"
"Song Daya?"
Zhao Ergou was stunned at first, then he said angrily, "Why are you not letting me sleep so late at night? What the hell are you doing?"
Song Yuehua asked anxiously, "Uncle Zhao, my sister has a high fever, can you give me some wine?"
"No wine!" Zhao Ergou was furious. He woke people up in the middle of the night and still wanted wine!
Seeing that Zhao Ergou was about to close the door, Song Yuehua immediately grabbed the door and said, "Uncle Zhao, I have money, please sell me some wine."
When Zhao Ergou heard about the silver, he raised his eyelids and said, "How much silver did you bring?"
Song Yuehua choked. Does this mean you can take as many as you want?
"Two taels."
Zhao Ergou said disdainfully, "Only 2 taels? That won't be much, half a bowl at most."
"Okay, just half a bowl!"
Song Yuehua didn't have time to waste, half a bowl was enough.
On the contrary, Zhao Ergou felt that he had lost a lot when he heard Song Yuehua respond so quickly, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only say in a bad tone, "Wait!"
With one hand, Song Yuehua handed over the money and the other hand, and after Song Yuehua received the wine, Zhao Ergou shouted again, "Remember to return the bowl to me, don't wait for me to come to you for it."
Song Yuehua quickly agreed and carefully carried the white wine back home.
When she returned home, Granny Wang was changing Xiaoyu's handkerchief. Song Yuehua touched her and found that her temperature had not dropped.
"Let's find Lao Ma and ask him to take the person to the county town." Grandma Wang was also anxious.
Song Yuehua shook her head. "The county town is closed now, so it's not good to stay outside."
