Chapter 39 Come to say thank you
Song's mother gave the finished clothes to Shen Xia, and thinking that it was almost time, she put away the needle and thread.
Shen Xia took two sets of finished clothes and went out. There was no one in the yard. It seemed that everyone had gone back to their rooms to sleep!
When I opened Song Jin's room, I saw Xiaotian and Xiaowu both sleeping on the bed.
Shen Xia gently put the clothes next to Xiaotian.
At this time, Song Jin woke up when he heard the sound.
Shen Xia looked at Song Jin and raised his head, then whispered, "Third brother, it's me. Get up, let's go to Uncle Liu's house next door."
"Yeah, okay," he said and stood up.
Shen Xia came out quietly.
Then go to the kitchen
Song Jiang was also in the kitchen: "Brother, there is no lunch break."
"No, I saw that all the winnowing baskets were used up from the malt I harvested this time, so I thought that in case it was not enough in the future, I made some more," Song Jiang explained.
"Oh, yes, it's okay," Shen Xia agreed. They haven't raised silkworms yet, and even if they do, they still need a winnowing basket.
"Brother, we can weave more square ones. They are easier to use," Shen Xia suggested.
"Okay," Song Jiang.
Because the weather was a little hot, the meat was placed in a water tank to cool it down.
Take the meat and wrap it.
Then get some snacks.
At this time, Song's mother had finished packing and came over, and Song Jin was also standing at the door.
Seeing that everyone was about to go out, Song Jiang put down the things in his hands and shook his body.
Then he said, "Let's go!"
"Okay," Shen Xia said and went out.
After going out, Shen Xia gave the things in his hand to Song's mother. It was just a piece of meat and a bag of snacks, which was not heavy.
Then he walked up to Song Jin and said, "Third brother, let's go to Uncle Liu's house next door. I'll hold your hand." After saying that, he took Song Jin's hand.
Either their fingers are crossed or they are holding each other.
Song Jiang looked at Shen Xia and Song Jin holding hands, his eyes darkened, it seemed that she just didn't like him.
I have always been very strict with myself.
Only in front of her younger brothers does she reveal her little girl's mentality.
Song Jin felt the softness of his palm: "Okay, thank you Xia Xia."
"You're welcome."
The Liu family next door is only about two hundred meters away from the Song family.
So it didn't take long to arrive.
The Liu family's yard was much better than the Song family's. The Song family's yard had wooden fences and no privacy at all, while the Liu family's yard had mud walls that were about a person's height.
So from Shen Xia’s height, he couldn’t see what was inside at all.
Song's mother knocked on the door gently and called out, "Is Sister Liu home?" Because Aunt Liu was younger than Song's mother, Song's mother always called Aunt Liu "Sister Liu."
After shouting twice, I heard a reply from the yard: "Someone is coming."
It was Aunt Liu who opened the door.
When Auntie Liu saw that it was the Song family, she immediately opened the door wide and said warmly, "It's hot outside, come in and sit down."
"Okay." Mother Song nodded.
Only after entering the yard can you see what the Liu family’s rooms look like.
Judging from the visual, there is only one more room than the Song family, which is an extra main hall.
There are also three bedrooms, a kitchen and a main room.
Aunt Liu led everyone to the main room and asked them to sit down.
At this time, Liu Da and Liu Er in the room also heard the visitor outside, so they came out of the room.
They just came out of a room.
Could it be that they live in one room? Shen Xia was shocked. Could the ancients be so extravagant? Didn’t each husband have his own room?
Song's mother saw Liu Da and Liu Er,
Then he put the things in his hand into Aunt Liu's arms and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Liu, for yesterday. Yesterday, our third child went out to look for Xia Xia and the second child while we were not paying attention, but he took the wrong road and fell into the lake."
The real reason Song's mother didn't tell him was that Song Jin took the wrong road and accidentally fell into the water.
"We were all scared to death. If Brother Liu hadn't rescued us in time, I would have had to see my son die." Thinking of this now, Song's mother's eyes are red.
The eldest brother of the Liu family said immediately after hearing this: "It was a simple matter. Besides, it was thanks to your daughter-in-law that we were able to rescue the man in the end."
At this time, Shen Xia said: "Uncle Liu is too modest. Even if I am very capable, if you hadn't pulled the person out of the water, it would have been too late by the time we arrived."
Although Song Jin couldn't see, he could tell the direction: "Yes, Uncle Liu's kindness will be remembered in Song Jin's heart."
Song Jiang also said: "That's right, Uncle Liu."
Seeing that Song was like this, the Liu family did not refuse and accepted the gift.
Of course the dim sum is invisible, but the two or three pound piece of meat is clearly visible.
Aunt Liu looked at the things in her arms and said, "Thank you. I received this package, but such a big piece of meat is too expensive. How can I accept it?"
"Sister-in-law Song, your family is not easy, and there are many people, so you should take it back!"
"Besides, your family has taken in Xiaotian now."
Aunt Liu thought it was just an ordinary meal and felt that such a big piece of meat was very expensive. But in fact, the piece of meat was not even half as expensive as the snack.
"These things are external to us. Compared with the life of our third child, they are not worth mentioning." Song's mother said.
Later I thought that I would feel uneasy if Aunt Liu received it.
Then he said, "Xia Xia is running a small business for our family, so the food is still okay. Sister Liu, just accept it with peace of mind."
Only after hearing this did Aunt Liu feel relieved.
In fact, the relationship between the Liu family and the Song family has always been pretty good.
When the eldest son of the Song family was still young and had just moved here, the Liu family would often send things to the Song family.
Later, the eldest and second sons grew up and were able to earn some money, while the old people in the Liu family grew old and had more and more children.
Gradually, we became short of money and gave less.
But Song's mother always kept it in mind.
At this time, the master and the old lady of the Liu family also got up.
Walking to the main hall: "Song family, come over and sit down?"
"Well, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are up." Mother Song said politely.
"Well, you two sit down and chat. Wife, how many of the winnowing baskets you mentioned do we need to weave?" Mr. Liu asked Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu glanced at Shen Xia.
Shen Xia understood what he meant and said, "Ten, that should be enough. If you want to raise more later, just make up the story."
When Mr. Liu heard this, he also heard from his wife that this was the idea of the newly married young wife of the Song family next door.
Then he said, "Okay."
“We also need to weave some grids so that the silkworms can make cocoons more easily.” Shen Xia said.
Everyone was puzzled and said: "Grid,"
Seeing that no one understood, Shen Xia said, "I will go back and ask my elder brother to make one first. Then you can see it when you come to get the silkworm eggs. It's very simple."
Aunt Liu asked, "Don't you need to edit it in advance?"
“No, that one is for last resort.”
Everyone was talking at once, and several children from the Liu family also stood up.
Seeing that they had almost finished talking, the Song family suggested going back first.
The four children of the Song family who had left all got up.
The youngest, Liu Xiaoya, looked at the wrapping paper on the table and asked, "Mom, what is this?"
"This is meat! Xiaoya, you don't recognize it." Aunt Liu looked at her youngest daughter and said gently.
"Mom, of course I know the meat! I mean the other bag?" Liu Xiaoya explained.
Liu Daya next to her was also curious, but she didn't say anything because she knew that even if she didn't ask, her younger sister would ask, so she just needed to watch.
"I don't know either. It was brought by Aunt Song next door."
At this time, Mr. Liu said: "Little girl, if you are curious, open it and take a look!"
Since my mother said so, I opened it myself.
When I opened it, oh my god! Dim sum, that is an expensive food only eaten by people in the city.
I was so busy talking just now that I didn't notice the small words on the snacks.
I thought the meat was expensive before.
Now it seems that that piece of meat is really inferior to this bag of snacks.
At this time, Boss Liu was also surprised. Although he had never eaten dim sum, he had seen it in the town.
There are also the words "Tianxinzhai" on it. Of course, I don't recognize these words, but it is the same as the plaque of the most expensive dim sum restaurant in town.
There are only a few shops in the town, and everyone can remember their door plaques.
Liu Da and Liu Er were also surprised that the Song family was so generous.
It seems that the Song family is really going to rise.
