After returning home, Song Yuehua took out paper and pen and wrote a letter to Xiaoyu and Xiaobao.
After Xie Yu saw it, she also wrote, "Xiaoyu will definitely be unhappy that I'm in such a hurry to get engaged. The Dragon Boat Festival is next month, so I'd better tell her as soon as possible, otherwise she will be unwilling to give in when she comes back."
"They won't be back during the Dragon Boat Festival." Song Yuehua said.
Xie Yu nodded and said, "Then there are only four months until Mid-Autumn Festival. This is enough time for Xiaoyu to accept it."
Song Yuehua said helplessly, "They won't be back during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xie Yu then realized something was wrong, "Sister Song, why is this happening?"
Xiaoyu is such an adult, there is no need to hide many things from her.
After Song Yuehua asked Pei Feng to come and take Dabao away, she told her about the incident at the Qi Mansion and the Haimin Village they encountered outside Wenzhou City.
"Sister Song, are you okay?" Xiaoyu felt a lingering fear after hearing this.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "It's okay, thanks to Pei Feng."
"The Qi family is too bullying," Xie Yu said angrily, "I will write a letter. Uncle San will definitely find a way to deal with them."
"No need," Song Yuehua said, "The matter has been resolved. Both parties do not owe each other anything. Now it would be good for Xiaobao to learn chess from Master Miaoshou, so as not to get too involved with the Qi Mansion."
Xie Yu felt sad, "Xiaobao is so young, it's too pitiful for him to leave his hometown."
"Now that he doesn't have to go to school and can play chess, Xiaobao must be very happy," Song Yuehua said sourly, "He didn't even look back when he left."
Xie Yu groaned and wanted to say something comforting.
"Xiaoyu, let's talk about your marriage." Song Yuehua said, "When do you plan to get married?"
At this point, Xie Yu curled her lips and said, "Uncle San asked to set the wedding date for five years."
"Does the Zhang family have any objections?"
Although Song Yuehua thought it was a good idea to get married when they were older, Zhang Rushan would be 22 years old in five years, which was considered a late marriage from the perspective of the people here.
"They didn't agree at first," Xie Yu said. "My second uncle talked to them privately for a long time, and I don't know what he said. When we met again, the Zhang family relented."
Song Yuehua was a little curious, "What did he say?"
"I don't know," Xie Yu snorted, "Second Uncle didn't even tell me."
Although I don’t know how he did it, Xie An did a really good job.
Five years later, Xiaoyu was 20 years old and her body had just matured.
It's amazing that I can still live here till this age.
"Your third uncle is really thinking about you this time." Song Yuehua said.
Xie Yu coughed lightly and said, "Second Uncle is also very good. Actually, Second Uncle..."
At this time, Dabao poked his head in through the crack in the door and asked, "Big sister, have you finished your whispers?"
Song Yuehua smiled and waved at him, then pulled Dabao over and asked him about his schoolwork and martial arts training.
"Fifth Senior Sister is no longer my opponent," Dabao said somewhat proudly.
"Brother Rushan gave me many books on the art of war. They looked difficult. Master Yi told me that as long as I read a hundred books, I would be able to understand the military books."
Song Yuehua agreed, "That's right. There is a saying that goes "step by step". Not everyone can understand military books, and not everyone can be a general. Master Yi can give you advice, which proves that he thinks highly of you."
"Really?"
Dabao's eyes sparkled, "Even Master Yi discovered my secret?"
Song Yuehua said, "Master Duan and Master Yi are both capable people. They are used to seeing talented people. It is normal for them to discover him. Ordinary people don't have such a keen eye, so they naturally can't discover him."
"I see," Dabao nodded, "I think Sister Yu's vision is lacking."
Xie Yu, "..."
Song Yuehua smiled and rubbed his head.
While it was still early, Song Yuehua finished writing the letter and went to Zhou's house again.
In the Zhou family’s yard, several children were sitting around a table doing their homework.
No one knew where Chen Shu had gone, but Chen Lin and Chen Jiali seemed to be working very hard.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Grandpa Zhou sitting next to me.
Grandpa Zhou was holding the Three Character Classic, and Zhou Xin'ai was standing beside him, reciting the text while wiping away tears.
Song Xiaocao sat beside her, holding a needle and thread frame and embroidering the shoe uppers.
Lin and Zhang were talking in the kitchen.
Zhang would occasionally stick her head out to look into the yard, seeming a little worried about her daughter.
"Grandpa Zhou, where are you memorizing?"
Song Yuehua greeted him across the bamboo fence.
"Girl, are you back?" Grandpa Zhou's eyes lit up. He put down his book and invited her in.
Lin heard the voice and came out, "Daya, when did you come back?"
"I just came back." Song Yuehua found a stool and sat down.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"have eaten."
While Mr. Zhou was not paying attention, Zhang brought Zhou Xinai into the house. Lin asked Song Yuehua to sit down first while she went to boil some water.
"I just finished my meal, please stop busying yourself." Song Yuehua shouted.
Lin waved her hand, "Whether you are full or not, it won't prevent you from having tea."
"Let her take care of it," Grandpa Zhou said as he tried to touch the book again, but found nothing.
Song Yuehua said, "I heard from Aunt Tan that Dongshan has been taken care of by Uncle Dafu during this period. I wanted to thank him in person. Isn't Uncle Dafu at home now?"
Grandpa Zhou sighed, "The villagers called him away, and that's what it's like to be a village head."
Song Yuehua nodded. No matter what the matter was, big or small, the villagers would always go to the head of the village to deal with it. It was indeed very hard work.
"Erya went to Wenzhou, how come I heard that Xiaobao also went there?" asked Grandpa Zhou.
