Li Hongxia drove the pigs back in batches and paid for them in batches. Song Yuehua was afraid that it was not safe, so she called five or six farmhands and asked Master Duan and several of his apprentices to help send them back.
It took four days to drive all the pigs away. The pig farm was suddenly empty, with only 100 piglets left.
When Liu Xue asked her if she wanted to buy some more piglets, Song Yuehua sighed, "It's already difficult to raise the remaining 100 pigs, so how can we dare to raise more? Let's wait until this drought is over first."
When Song Yuehua received the 1,260 taels of silver note, the first thing she did was to exchange it for silver. However, it was inconvenient to have too much silver, so she had to exchange it for gold.
Fortunately, the person from the gold jewelry shop was not there yet, so I exchanged it for 64 gold ingots.
The small jars that the four siblings use to store their gold ingots can only hold 20 ingots in total, and now there are 4 ingots in each jar.
Add 16 anchors to each jar and they will be full.
Song Yuehua was really happy when she saw the four jars filled with gold ingots.
I was thinking that next time I would buy four small jars, so that each of the four brothers and sisters could store a small jar of gold ingots.
There are now a total of 4 jars of gold ingots and 485 taels of silver in the house.
That evening, Xie Feng arrived at the Song family, exhausted, and brought Xiaoyu's letter and the things that were entrusted to him.
Seeing him like this, Song Yuehua quickly invited him in, poured him a bowl of water, and asked tentatively, "Have you eaten?"
Before the person answers, the stomach responds.
Song Yuehua called out to Xie Yu, then went into the kitchen to cook noodles.
Xie Yu and Dabao and Xiaobao all ran over, surrounded Xie Feng and asked about Xiaoyu and Xie Wenwu's situation.
Xie Feng and Xie Quan had a relatively smooth journey. They encountered a few stupid people and they easily dealt with them with just a few punches and kicks.
After arriving in Qingzhou, they quickly found Hualin Lane. Originally, Xie Quan did not agree with Xie Wenwu settling in Hualin Lane, after all, Xiaoyu and the others were still just little girls.
There was a man named Shen Dahai next door. Jiang Yu said that this man was just peeking at the door at first, but then he started talking to him. Jiang Yu thought that since he lived next door, he would see him sooner or later, so he had to respond politely.
Unexpectedly, the man was a scoundrel, smiling and smooth-talking all day long. He was old enough to be Jiang Yu's father, and he always stared at her with malicious eyes.
Qi Zi immediately chased the man away upon seeing this. After a few attempts, the two sides became enemies. Shen Dahai then stood at their doorstep every day and talked nonsense.
Later, Xiaoyu and the other two took advantage of the darkness of the night, covered his head, and beat him up severely. He was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for a month. Only then did the noise at their door stop for a while.
Originally they were thinking about how to solve the problem once and for all, but Pei Feng's visit this time saved them the trouble.
After Xie Quan knew this situation, and considering that Pei Feng insisted on living in Hualin Lane, he thought about it and decided to agree.
Xie Wenwu and Zhou Xiaohu lived in Hualin Lane. Before leaving, Xie Quan and Xie Feng helped them dig a cellar and bought a lot of food, and also gave a big gift to Shen Dahai who lived next door.
"What gift?" Xie Yu asked.
Xie Feng said, "In short, Shen Dahai won't come to cause trouble again."
Dabao lay on Xie Feng's lap and asked, "Second Uncle Xie, did Second Sister miss me?"
"She misses you very much." Xie Feng chuckled, then turned to Xiao Bao and said, "She misses all three of you very much."
Dabao laughed happily, and Xiaobao also pursed his lips happily.
After Song Yuehua came out with the noodles, she couldn't help but open Xiaoyu's letter and read it. Xiaoyu talked about Shen Dahai and wrote her original plan in the letter. When she saw this, Song Yuehua raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Not bad."
Xie Yu was also curious, so he came over to watch together. Xiaobao snuggled into Song Yuehua's arms. The three of them watched together, but Dabao was the only one who sat on Xie Feng's lap and asked questions non-stop.
Xiaoyu is more capable than Song Yuehua expected, and can solve problems well. The most gratifying thing is that Xiaoyu has been promoted to an intermediate embroiderer. By the way, she also mentioned that Ouyang Yuan had also been promoted to an intermediate embroiderer.
After reading it, Song Yuehua put the letter away. Xie Feng also finished eating and stood up to leave.
Song Yuehua sent the person to the door, and Xie Feng suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to the south? If you do, I have a way to take you there."
Song Yuehua didn't expect Xie Feng to say this suddenly. She just smiled and said, "I have a big family. In addition to Da Bao and Xiao Bao, there are many people I care about here. I can't go."
Xie Feng hummed in a muffled voice and said, "Just come to me when you need help."
After everyone left, Song Yuehua delivered the letter from Zhou Xiaohu to Zhou Lizheng's home.
After hearing about Zhou Xiaohu's recent situation and reading the letter, Lin and Zhou Dafu pulled Song Yuehua aside and asked her for a long time.
Zhou Dafu pulled Zhou Lizheng out, stuffed the letter into his hand and said, "Dad, Xiaohu's letter was not written to us. He wrote it specially for you."
Zhou Lizheng unfolded the letter and read it, then he sighed heavily, "He has grown up and has his own ideas. Let him be."
Song Yuehua also comforted them, "They all have some ideas. We can feel at ease if they help each other when we are out."
The water level in the Dongshan shallow well has dropped a lot, and there is almost not enough water for radishes and potatoes.
Rather than letting them die, Song Yuehua asked Zong Yi to pull out all the radishes in the radish field, chop them up and feed them to the pigs, and use all the remaining water to water the potato field.
There are only two deep wells in the entire Taoyuan Village, one in the Song family and the other in the pig farm.
The water from the village well is turbid and cannot be used directly.
At first, the water would settle for some time and could still be used the next day. However, after a few people had diarrhea after drinking the water, Master Yi taught people to use sand, cotton cloth and charcoal to filter out clear water.
The water problem has been temporarily solved.
Ever since Xie Wenwu left, Tian came to report that the Guan family had given up farming this year and fired all the farmhands, leaving only Tian to cook.
The long-term workers who were poached here are now unwilling to work. They were clearly doing a good job, but now they are no longer wanted after being brought here. Isn't this just playing tricks on them?
Several people were guarding outside Baozi's yard with hoes in their hands. There were also several workers recruited from outside who were inside. There were more than 20 people, and they almost scared Baozi to death. After discussing for a long time, they decided to keep half of the people in the village.
Tian said with some fear, "Gao Wazi was working in the kitchen and was almost driven away. Fortunately, Old Man Ren called for help in time. The moment the door was opened, a group of people holding hoes and looking ferocious were seen. I was really scared..."
Song Yuehua sent four people over at that time, and now it is enough to leave two behind.
No matter what Guan plans to do, this year's drought has caused trouble for everyone.
Things at the Guan family left it like this for the time being. Song Yuehua sat at the table drawing until midnight. The next day, she bought more than ten jars of salt and more than fifty jars of lamp oil from the county town and put them all in the cellar of the courtyard.
Liu Xue asked her what she would use it for, and Song Yuehua shook her head and said, "I hope I won't need it."
After leaving the compound, Song Yuehua went directly to Zhou's house.
"Grandpa Zhou, if there is a drought for the next six months, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Lizheng stared outside the house and said sadly, "Leaves return to their roots. Where you live, there you die."
