The next day.
After Song Yuehua arrived at the county town by ox cart, she first went to the blacksmith shop and asked for five rakes and three guillotines.
Blacksmith Zhao knew that Song Yuehua had land in Dongshan, so it was not surprising that she wanted so many farm tools, but he didn't have any in stock, so he decided to send them over in five days.
When Song Yuehua was about to leave after paying the money, she was stopped by Zhao the blacksmith.
"Miss Song, wait a moment," Zhao the blacksmith ran back to the house and took out two bags of sour dates, "Please bring them with you."
Zhao Xiaofu and Zhao Tienu now live in the home of their grandfather, a bamboo craftsman.
The couple has been busy with their business in the store recently and has not been back for a long time.
"Aren't you going to deliver the goods to me? Wouldn't it be better if we deliver them together?" Song Yuehua said.
Zhao the blacksmith chuckled and said, "These sour dates were given to me by someone else. If they are left for a few days, they will go bad. Miss Song will ask our two girls to eat them up as soon as possible."
Song Yuehua: "..." This fatherly love is a bit complicated.
Despite this, she still brought the sour jujube cake with her.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Song Yuehua went to the grocery store again. After the autumn harvest, the price of grain had dropped, and the price of white rice had dropped from 40 wen to 35 wen.
The rice sent by the Zhang family was enough for their family and the school.
We still need to eat corn in Dongshan. We have to buy it sooner or later anyway, so it’s better to buy the winter food at once.
2,500 kilograms of corn, 40 kilograms of salt, 10 kilograms of brown sugar, 4 jars of soy sauce, and 3 jars of vinegar, a total of 42 taels of silver.
When checking out, Song Yuehua asked the shopkeeper to send 20 large jars. A large jar like this one cost 30 wen each, so 20 jars would cost 600 wen.
If it were someone else, it would be fine, but every time Song Yuehua came, she would buy thousands or hundreds of dollars, so such a customer must be given some sweet treats.
It only took a moment of thought for the shopkeeper to agree with a wave of his hand.
Four ox carts marched into the village in a mighty procession. A group of people chatting happened to have gathered at the entrance of the village, including Mrs. Song. Everyone was attracted by these carts of grain, and Mrs. Song was no exception.
"Hey, how come this girl is so capable that she can earn so much money with two babies?"
"That's right. When the family was divided, Song Daya was only 10 years old. My 10-year-old was still having a runny nose!"
"Comparison is the thief of anger. If this were my granddaughter, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
"So what if she's a granddaughter? She still has to get married in the end."
"You are a conservative person, and you deserve not to enjoy a good life. A girl with such a talent, even if you want to find a husband, there will be many people lining up to marry her."
"Hey, stop talking nonsense, my dearest is still standing here."
When Song Yuehua heard the voice, she turned around and saw Mrs. Song staring at her with a sinister look on her face.
What bad luck!
After returning home, Song Yuehua left some of the food for her family and the school.
The rest was transported to Dongshan compound.
When the ox cart carrying goods arrived at the East Courtyard, Liu Xue hurriedly called people to come and unload the goods.
Liu Xue brought Song Yuehua into the house and took out a large bag of copper coins, saying, "These are the money Gou Wazi used to buy eggs. Last time, he took a few live chickens from us to sell, but unfortunately they didn't sell very well. He got about two strings of copper coins."
Song Yuehua didn't take it. "Keep the money from selling eggs at the chicken farm and use it to buy rice bran and feed. Just ask Secretary Bai to give me an account book. The rice we brought in today will last until next year. You'd better arrange the pickled eggs and pickled vegetables for the winter as well."
Liu Xue took note and nodded.
After moving the things into the cellar, Liu Xue went in to count them.
Song Yuehua went over to look at Ruyue. The little kid had big, round eyes. Zhu Yanli sat beside her, rubbing her arm and said, "Come over early tomorrow. I'll make you some old duck soup."
"You should take a good rest," Song Yuehua said, "You can drink the old duck soup anytime."
The child is getting heavier every day. Zhu Yanli said that Ruyue is still a crybaby.
She can't sleep every night and has to be carried around to calm him down. Grandma Xi helps take care of him every night and has to work at the pig farm during the day, so Zhu Yanli just takes care of him herself.
Song Yuehua thought for a moment, called Liu Xue out and said, "As for Grandma Xi, let her help take care of the child first, and don't assign any work to her."
Before Liu Xue could say anything, Zhu Yanli came over holding Ruyue, "What are you arranging? It's fine if you don't let me work on weekdays, but I can still take care of my own baby. I've already finished my confinement, how can I be so delicate."
"Just listen to my instructions and take care of yourself first." Song Yuehua said.
Liu Xue also said, "I can handle the work here, and I don't need another Grandma Xi. Aunt Zhu, just listen to the master."
After coming out of the compound, Song Yuehua went to find Duan Yidao.
Gouwazi has been busy selling goods recently, and the only ones who practiced martial arts with Duan Yidao are Erguotou, Jin Shaoyang, and Ji Ming.
In the exercise room, Erguotou was squatting, and Ji Ming was running in circles carrying two buckets of water.
The most conspicuous one is Jin Shaoyang.
He was dressed in a black tights with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Holding a long spear, he moved like a dragon and a tiger, with great momentum and every move of his was filled with murderous intent.
In the reflection of the setting sun, the sweat on her face was wiped away, and her originally fair and delicate skin was tanned into a healthy wheat color.
Duan Yidao sat aside and watched the others. Song Yuehua came over and asked, "How's this going?"
"Not very good." Duan Yidao said with a frown.
Is this what it means when experts see the details while laymen see the fancy moves?
"Didn't you learn carpentry from Carpenter Yang?" Song Yuehua asked.
Duan Yidao then turned around and said, "I'm doing well in this study. If you have any needs, just let me know."
"Change the cart into a baby carriage that can be pushed. You can discuss with Master Yi how to modify it." Song Yuehua said, "Ruyue is too noisy. If she can push it during the day and play around, the adults can sleep well at night."
