Dabao swallowed and nodded vigorously.
"Sister, isn't our second sister coming back?" Xiaobao asked, with a small piece of floral cloth tied on his head and he raised his chubby little face.
Song Yuehua sighed lightly and was about to speak when she heard Liu Shanpao running over and calling her, saying that someone had come to the village entrance to deliver a letter to her. Song Yuehua hurried over and the person was none other than Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao came back and brought letters from Xiaoyu, Xie Wenwu and Zhou Xiaohu.
"Brother Wang, come to my house for a cup of tea and a rest," Song Yuehua invited.
Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "I have something urgent to do here, so I won't go for now."
Seeing that the person was about to leave, Song Yuehua hurriedly asked, "When will Brother Wang return to Qingzhou?"
Wang Xiao said embarrassedly, "Miss Song, I won't go back to Qingzhou."
Originally, Song Yuehua wanted him to bring some letters back, but it seems that is not possible.
After returning home, Dabao and Xiaobao heard that it was the second sister who sent the letter, so they all gathered together to read it.
Xiaoyu said in the letter that in order to prevent refugees from entering Qingzhou, people are now only allowed to leave but not enter, and even letters cannot be sent out.
She had sent several letters before, but none of them were sent out, so she didn't dare to send them again.
Since moving to Hualin Lane, Xiaoyu has been embroidering some small pieces in her spare time. She has already earned more than ten taels of silver in bits and pieces. With the 200 taels of silver notes her elder sister brought her this time, she plans to embroider a big piece, and maybe that will help her with her future expenses.
Yan Yujiu will not go back home for the New Year this year, so everyone has to stay in Qingzhou for the New Year. Fortunately, with Xie Wenwu, Zhou Xiaohu, Qi Zi, Jiang Yu and Pei Feng around, they don't feel so lonely.
Also brought along were new clothes that Xiaoyu had made for Song Yuehua, Dabao and Xiaobao. The letter said that if the clothes were too small, they could ask Granny Wang to help free up some stitches.
Seeing that Xiaoyu was doing well, Song Yuehua felt relieved.
Next came Xie Wenwu's letter. In addition to the letter, Xie Wenwu also brought back a lot of food, some of which were bought from the Ma family shop, and some were pastries he made himself.
Xie Wenwu has broadened his horizons since he went to Qingzhou.
The food in Qingzhou is very particular. From large restaurants to small roadside stalls, each has its own unique features. The section on food alone took up three full pages.
It was only at the end that he mentioned the disaster, and the price of grain in Qingzhou had also increased a lot.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu brought a lot of rice from home, and bought a lot of rice before the price went up too much. The food they stockpiled was enough to eat, and as long as there was no chaos in the city, they would have no problem eating it for another one or two years.
Several wealthy families in Qingzhou City had their houses broken into, but the criminals were not caught. All the wealthy families in the county were in danger. On the contrary, the residents of Hualin Lane were not particularly wealthy and had lived in peace.
