Taoyuan Village.
Xie Feng gave the finished gold hairpin to Song Yuehua.
When you open it, you will see several golden peach blossoms of different sizes standing on the golden hairpin, with the petals and stamens lifelike. The texture of a peach branch is also outlined on the hairpin, as if it is a peach branch that has just been picked from a tree.
"This is really beautiful." Song Yuehua turned it over and over, admiring it carefully.
Xie Feng chuckled and said, "If you like, I'll make you a plum blossom hairpin."
"Then forget it."
Song Yuehua waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Gold is best stuffed into socks to make people feel at ease. If I wear it on my head, I'm afraid I won't even dare to walk."
Xie Feng. "..."
A few days later, Song Yuehua received a letter from Xiaoyu, in which she said that she would return in the same carriage as the Second Master Yan, and asked her not to worry.
It should be safe enough to come back with Yan Yujiu.
Song Yuehua finally stopped worrying about this matter.
The previous cotton fields have been planted with potatoes. The pig farm now has 50 big pigs and 100 piglets. Previously, a piglet was accidentally crushed to death by a big pig, and Liu Xue later brought back another one.
That day, when Song Yuehua came over, Liu Xue was shoveling pig manure, Liu Youfu was carrying water into the well in buckets, and Dao Xiaoyi was standing at the mouth of the well pulling water with all his might.
"Has the water level dropped again?" Song Yuehua asked.
Dao Xiaoyi nodded and said, "I put down a little."
Song Yuehua sighed heavily. There was really no way to deal with this situation. The food stored in the family compound was enough to last for a year. But if drought really came, the problems they would face would be more than just hunger.
The Chinese New Year is just over ten days away, and we can only hope it will rain next year.
Because there was no rain and food prices were rising, the villagers were in a panic. Song Yuehua bought several pieces of cloth from the county, as well as some dried fruits and red paper to prepare for the New Year.
According to Zong Yi, the Guan family had a total of three days off during the Chinese New Year, and they had to come to work on the second day of the New Year. Most of the farmhands didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Old Man Ren went to Mrs. Tian every day to complain.
Several long-term workers who had worked for Song Yuehua were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything. After all, a monthly salary of 500 wen was enough to shut everyone up.
On the 20th, several carriages stopped in front of the school.
After Song Yuehua heard the noise and went out, she found out that it was someone from the Guan family. It was a nanny who came to take Guan Xiaodie home.
Although it’s not as warm as Hua Baoer’s family, it’s better than nothing.
Before leaving, Guan Xiaodie brought two pairs of shoes to Song Yuehua. One pair was already embroidered, while the other pair had only half of the pattern embroidered on it.
"This is a pattern I'm embroidering for Gou Wa Zi. Unfortunately, I haven't finished it yet and I don't have time to embroider it anymore."
After saying that, Guan Xiaodie took out another 120 taels of silver.
"Miss Song, Xiaoyu and I have both left. Logically, my master has no reason to stay here, but I see that she gets along very well with Zhang Dandan. As an apprentice, I can't help her with anything else. This money will be used as her food and accommodation expenses for the next 10 years. Can you let her continue to stay in the small courtyard in Dongshan?"
Song Yuehua refused, "Xiaoyu is also Madam Nie's apprentice, so what does it matter if I support her?"
"That's different," Guan Xiaodie shook her head slightly, "It's natural for a disciple to respect his master. I gave this money so that the master can stay with peace of mind. If you must give Xiaoyu's half, then let's keep it for the next 10 years."
Seeing that Song Yuehua was still trying to refuse, Guan Xiaodie said, "Miss Song, I probably won't be able to come back. As for my second brother, I will persuade him not to target you."
Song Yuehua was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that Guan Xiaodie was no longer going to learn embroidery, but from what she said, she would never come again.
"I can't come back..." Song Yuehua murmured.
Guan Xiaodie lowered her eyes and hummed softly, "After we get married next year, we can no longer go out casually."
"Get married?" Song Yuehua felt it was a bit sudden.
Guan Xiaodie didn't want to say more. She nodded and was about to leave. When she was about to reach the door, she turned around and whispered, "Please tell Ji Ming that I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the day when the wisteria flowers bloom."
Song Yuehua, holding the 120-liang silver note in her hand, suddenly reacted.
These two people...
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuehua still went to Dongshan to report the news. Ji Ming was practicing with Jin Shaoyang, and the two were sweating profusely.
After Song Yuehua called someone over and told him that Guan Xiaodie had been taken away, Ji Ming ran down the mountain without even catching his breath.
Jin Shaoyang went to practice shooting alone.
Song Yuehua asked Duan Yidao, "Can they fight back and forth now?"
"I said Ji Ming has good qualifications." Duan Yidao said.
It’s really good.
Man is no match for horse, and Ji Ming ultimately failed to catch up with the carriage.
A few days later, Xiaoyu came back early and gave the whole family a surprise. Not only did she come back by herself, she also brought Yao Er back with her.
Song Yuehua heard the noise and just opened the door, she saw Master Ma driving the ox cart directly to the door and said with a smile, "I brought your second daughter back to you. Are you happy?"
"Sister!" Xiaoyu jumped off the ox cart and hugged Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua still held the basket in one hand and hugged Xiaoyu with the other, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you would arrive two days later?"
"Supervisor Yan had something to do, so he came back early, so I came back with him." Xiaoyu said.
Song Yuehua hurriedly pulled people in, and invited Grandpa Ma to come in for tea. Grandpa Ma waved his hand and left.
Only then did Song Yuehua notice that there was someone following her.
"This is the maid I bought." Xiaoyu pulled Song Yuehua into the house.
Now that schools are on vacation, Xiaoyu still stays in school to give extra lessons to several children who want to attend classes, including Xiaobao.
