Chapter 108 A long-awaited reunion

Chapter 108 A long-awaited reunion

After Song's mother and grandmother returned to their room.

The two talked to each other about the changes in their respective families in recent years.

Hearing my daughter say that the family conditions are getting better and better, I feel much more at ease.

Song's mother took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and put them in her mother's hand.

Grandmother looked at the ten taels of silver in surprise: "No, no, Yan'er, you have to live too, and you are a mother-in-law now, how can you give the money to your parents' home?"

Song's mother smiled and said, "Mother, take this. This is a gift to you. I was going to give you five taels of silver. But Xia Xia said she hadn't been back for so many years, so I gave her ten taels of silver. You keep this quietly. If anything happens, you may need it in an emergency."

In fact, the reason why Shen Xia said to give so much was because she heard from Song Ming that the conditions of her maternal grandparents' house were not good, but they would bring something to her family every year.

Of course, it was always my eldest uncle and my second uncle who brought it over.

Later, when Song Jiang grew up, he would occasionally bring some things from hunting to his grandparents' house, but it was very rare.

The grandmother was very moved and said: "You are a good daughter-in-law."

After hearing this, Song's mother's eyes darkened.

Of course, my grandmother also sensed it: "Is there anything else you are worried about that you haven't told me yet?"

After hearing this, Song's mother told her everything about her sons and Shen Xia.

After hearing this, the grandfather said, "Don't worry. All the grandchildren are good. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Xiaoxia is indeed capable. Doesn't the fourth child seem to be good too? If she doesn't like the fourth child, you can just treat her as another daughter!"

Mother Song nodded: "That's all I can think of."

After dinner was ready, the three uncles had not returned yet.

But after a while, the six people outside were seen coming back.

It should be my uncle and his friends.

It seems that my aunt and others cook according to the time.

Shen Xia looked at them, covered in mud.

Looking tired.

It seems that this sludge is not easy to clear, and it should be a very strenuous physical job.

At this time, my mother and grandmother came out.

A few looked at Song's mother and Song Jiang and the others.

His face was full of surprise.

The eldest uncle was the first to show his outstanding teeth: "Yan'er, you are back."

As he said that, he happily wanted to come over and pull her.

At this time, my grandmother criticized me, "You are so dirty, and you still come to smoke. Why don't you go wash yourself and eat and chat while you eat."

Originally, my second uncle wanted to come, but after hearing his mother's criticism, he turned around and went to wash his hands.

The third uncle also smiled and said, "Sister is back."

I was just guessing in my mind, maybe he encountered some difficulties!

But he went to wash his hands without saying anything.

Shen Xia was also moved by how much love her uncle had for her mother. She had been an only child since childhood and had never enjoyed the love of a sibling.

Because there were so many people, one table couldn't accommodate them all, so they had to put several tables together.

After washing the dishes, the six people looked at the table full of delicious food with their eyes wide open.

There was also wine on the table.

The eldest uncle said, "Mom, where did you get the money to buy these?"

Grandma smiled and said, "These were brought back by Yan'er."

The three uncles looked after my sister together.

The second uncle said, "Yan'er, you are in a difficult situation, why did you bring so much? Why did mother just make it all and leave it for my sister to take back?"

Mother Song looked at her brothers who were concerned about her and said, "Don't worry, second brother. Now that our family has a little business, we have no problem making a living."

When the third aunt heard this, she was curious: "Fourth sister! What kind of business are you doing? Can you teach your brother?"

When everyone heard what this man was talking about, they realized that the secret to making money at this time was something that even brothers could not teach, and yet he actually made such a request.

The two old men's faces darkened when they heard this.

At this time, the uncle said: "Yan'er, you just need to live your life well. Our life is fine, you don't have to worry."

The second uncle also spoke up: "That's right."

Mother Song glanced at her third sister-in-law and thought there was nothing wrong with what she said. She was very moved by the caring looks on the faces of her two brothers. Her two brothers had loved her very much since she was young, even after they married their sisters-in-law.

I thought about what Xia Xia said that the house was too small to install the equipment, so I would wait until the house was renovated before handing it over, which would only take a month or two.

At worst, when the house is about to be completed in a month, I can ask my parents to raise it in advance. That way, they can raise it and send it to me, and there will be a place to store it.

So Song's mother looked at her third sister-in-law and said, "Not yet, let's wait a little longer!"

But the third aunt felt that she loved the fourth sister in vain. She saw that life in her mother's family was almost unbearable, and the eldest sons of the three families had reached the age of marriage, but had not yet married.

It’s because of lack of money, otherwise my eldest son would have reached the age to get married.

What an ungrateful person.

Listening to Song's mother's refusal.

Third aunt's face darkened as well.

At this time, my grandfather said, "Let's sit down and eat! We haven't had a gathering like this for many years."

The cousins ​​who had just returned only knew my aunt and Song Jiang, because Song Jiang had been there before. They didn’t know the others, so when they sat down, my grandmother introduced them one by one.

The table was a long table. My grandparents sat at the front, and the Song family members sat on my grandmother's side. The three uncles sat opposite them, followed by the eldest sons, and then the three aunts formed a rectangle.

Grandfather, you looked at the wine on the table and said, "This wine was also brought by your sister. You can try it today."

In everyone's eyes, wine is a good thing!

Although the three uncles would occasionally buy wine, it was very cheap and very spicy.

Song's mother definitely doesn't drink.

Song Jin didn't drink either, so only Song Jiang was drinking.

And some of the older cousins ​​usually drink a little with their father, so they drank together today.

Shen Xia became intoxicated by the smell of the wine.

It's obvious that the alcohol content is more than 50 degrees.

Can you drink this stuff?

As a result, people not only drank it, but also said it was delicious.

The uncle said, "Well, this wine is good. It tastes much better than the ones we usually buy. My sister really spent a lot of money."

The second uncle said, "Yes, it tastes good."

Everyone drank it in small sips.

At this time, the grandmother said, "Since you all feel embarrassed about eating your sister's food."

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at grandma, wanting to say something.

In fact, Shen Xia was also curious.

Then I heard, "Your sister's house is being renovated, so it's a good opportunity for you guys to go over and help."

The first and second wives all nodded after hearing this.

Song's mother listened to her mother's arrangement and did not object. Why? Because other people working for her were paid 20 to 30 cents a day.

If it was my brothers doing it, it would definitely be the same. It would be better than watching them clear the river.

The wages are much higher.

It is just right that my brothers can learn to raise silkworms when they are free there, and they will learn how to do it when the house is almost ready.

This method is still good.

But the couple in the third room didn't say anything.

Because I thought I was just helping out, so there would definitely be no wages.

Now I’m clearing silt from the river. It’s tiring but at least I get paid.

The third uncle took a look at his wife's face.

Grandma looked at the silent couple in the third room.

I was so angry that I couldn't stop talking.
