Chapter 16 Shopping



After Zhu Yanli left, Granny Wang pulled Song Yuehua and said, "Girl, I won't hide it from you. This is the situation. If you have any concerns, I understand."

Song Yuehua smiled and said, "I disregarded filial piety and separated from my grandparents. Have you ever been concerned about me?"

"How can they be the same!" said Granny Wang.

Song Yuehua added, "Actually, there is one more thing. My family will start building a house in five days. Starting tomorrow, I would like to trouble you to come over every day to help take care of the two treasures."

“Build a house!”

Granny Wang was delighted and said, "Building a house is a good idea. You do have a lot of inconveniences over there, it's time to build one."

The three siblings left Grandma Wang's house and met another person on their way back.

Zhu Yanli leaned against the roadside and greeted several people with a smile, "I didn't expect that you are so strong at such a young age. You are a capable person."

"What are you waiting for me for?" Song Yuehua knew that this person was waiting for her specially, so she asked directly without any hesitation.

Song Yuehua held Dabao in her left hand and carried the basket in her right hand. Zhu Yanli stuffed 10 taels of silver directly into her arms.

"Any money my mother gets will be taken away by my sister. I'll keep this money with you. When my mother needs it urgently, you can give it to her."

"Do you trust me so much?" Song Yuehua couldn't believe it. They had just met once.

Zhu Yanli covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, "I don't trust you, I trust my mother. She even dared to let you know those bad things. It seems that she really wants to be friends with you. Since mother trusts you so much, I naturally trust you too. Besides, it's not like I won't come back..."

When Zhu Yanli said this, she covered her mouth and laughed again.

Song Yuehua: "..." No matter how charmingly you smile, I can't forget the way you slapped me in the face just now.

Song Yuehua accepted the money, and she did not hide this from Granny Wang.

Turning around, Song Yuehua took the silver and went back to Grandma Wang and gave it to her.

Granny Wang sighed softly, "Since she gave it to you to keep, then keep it with you first. When you need money urgently, you can give it to me."

Song Yuehua returned home with the silver, dug another hole, and buried the 10 taels of silver.

She won't touch this money.

After returning home, Song Yuehua was changing Dabao's diaper and thinking about the things she needed to buy in the county town tomorrow when she suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the door.

When I went out, I saw brothers Zhou Dafu and Zhou Ergui dragging a large bundle of bamboo and throwing it on the open space next to them.

"Uncle Dafu, Uncle Ergui, are these freshly cut bamboos?" Song Yuehua asked.

Zhou Dafu panted and said, "The bamboo used to build houses in the village is cut from the mountains by ourselves. It doesn't cost any money. If we have time these few days, we can first pull the bamboo down, and then go to the mountains to cut some good wood, and we can use it directly on the day of construction."

Song Yuehua thanked them repeatedly. She said that she would transport a few more waves of bamboo, so as soon as the two men left, she washed the pots and started to boil water. She boiled two pots, added sugar to one and salt to the other. By the time the two men came back, the water had just cooled down.

The two dragged down hundreds of bamboos from the mountain and were busy from noon to night.

In addition to boiling milk for the two babies, the two pots were constantly boiling water for tea.

After Xiaoyu came back, she went to cut grass and feed the sheep and rabbits. The two of them didn't have time to prepare dinner.

In the evening, they cooked a pot of bacon rice with bacon and dried mushrooms. The two sisters each had a big bowl of bacon and mushroom rice.

The next morning, after Granny Wang came over and handed Da Bao and Xiao Bao to her, Song Yuehua took Xiao Yu to the village entrance to catch the ox cart.

The village is not big, so the movement at the end of the village is naturally known to everyone. No one dares to ask the headman about the situation. Now that they have finally met someone who knows the situation, they naturally don't want to let him go.

The fat lady who lived at the head of the village was the first to speak, "Daya, what are you busy with recently?"

"Taking care of the baby." Song Yuehua said truthfully.

Aunt Fat: “…” This is not what she wanted to know.

"The head of the village has cut down a lot of bamboo. Do you know what they are going to do with it?" Aunt Fat asked.

"Build a house." Song Yuehua said.

Aunt Pang thought that the village head was still the best. He had just sent his son Zhou Xiaohu to school and had some extra money to build a house. When she made a lot of money one day, she would also learn from the village head and build two houses, living in one and looking after the other.

Song Yuehua is young, keeps her head down and doesn't like to talk. After the questions were asked, no one came to talk to her.

When they arrived at the county town, Xiaoyu looked around curiously. Last time she came, she was wrapped in a quilt and had no interest in seeing anything. This time was Xiaoyu's first time to visit the county town.

Song Yuehua was not in a hurry to buy things. She took Xiaoyu for a walk and looked around first. They each bought a string of candied haws on the way.

Xiaoyu stared at the candy figure curiously, and Song Yuehua bought her another candy figure.

"Sister, I'm just taking a look. There's nothing I want." Xiaoyu explained hurriedly.

After Song Yuehua paid the money, she held up the candy man and said, "This is what I wanted to give you. Doesn't Xiaoyu want it?"

Xiaoyu looked at the sugar man, then looked at her elder sister, and finally took it. With a red face, she whispered, "Thank you, elder sister."

It was the first time that Song Yuehua had the leisure to wander around like today.

Every time I came here before, I had a lot of things to do, and I never took a close look at the roadside stalls. I always came and left in a hurry.

Song Yuehua took Xiaoyu to a small hair ornament stall and asked Xiaoyu to help her pick one. Then she picked one herself, paid the bill, wrapped it up, and stuffed it directly into her arms.

Song Yuehua touched Xiaoyu's hair. She had been eating well recently, and her sunken cheeks had become plump. Her complexion had improved, and her hair had regained some luster.

However, the amount of hair is still relatively small. I will take care of it for a while and see if it can be restored. If not, I will take it to the doctor.

The two walked around and came to an iron shop.

After the two of them went in, Song Yuehua listed the things she wanted to buy, including a big pot, a small pot, a kettle, a hoe, a sickle, and a pickaxe.
