Chapter 193 Aunt's Happiness
Song Jiang looked at his grandmother and his expression relaxed a little.
It seems that Xia Xia is right.
If you directly ask your grandmother to come over to your house to visit, she will think it will be troublesome and will definitely not come.
But if you ask her to help, she will be happy to come.
This is how simple people think.
At this time, Zhao Xue also said, "Grandma, my cousins are getting married, and my aunt doesn't know much about it. It's the first time for our family to hold a wedding. You know a lot, so you can go and help. When the time comes, my mother and second mother will come over a day in advance to help."
The second aunt also echoed: "That's right, mother, you go!"
Zhao Xin also said, "Grandma, don't worry. My aunt's house is very spacious. Even if our whole family goes there, it can accommodate them all."
In fact, my grandmother was worried that the Song family had a large population, and even though a new house was built, how many could be built?
I've been living there for so long, will their family have to live in a crowded space?
One day occasionally is okay.
Ten days have passed!
Now that I heard Xinxin say that the house is very spacious, my worries are gone.
Grandma finally thought about it and said, "Okay then! I'll go to the field and call your grandfather."
After my grandmother finished speaking, she went out.
The uncle then looked at Song Jiang and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of your grandma and grandpa during this period of time."
Song Jiang said, "Uncle, you are too polite. Mother will be very happy if grandma can stay over there for a while."
"That's great, Xiao Jiang! When you get married, I'll ask your aunt and cousin to come over to help a day in advance."
Song Jiang nodded: "Okay, I'll have to trouble my aunt and cousin when the time comes."
The eldest aunt said: "It's not a big deal. We are also happy to see you get married!"
After a while, my grandmother came back with my grandfather. They packed their things and took a ox cart back to the Song family.
The people in the yard watched the old couple leave.
It’s still early to make lunch!
Besides, the children and their husbands have all returned, so they must go back to their rooms to talk in private!
So the first and second wives took all their belongings back to their rooms.
The child also followed back to his parents' room.
Once back in the room.
Great room.
The eldest uncle gave his hairpin and his son's hairpin to his wife.
Aunt Xu Mei looked at the two bright hairpins and said, "I'm afraid this will cost a few taels of silver!"
The uncle nodded and said, "Well, you can put these two away and help us put them away. Xiaoxue has some too, but she is a girl, so let her pick them up herself."
The aunt looked at Xiaoxue and said happily, "Xiaoxue, take it out and show it to me!"
Only then did Zhao Xue take out her own.
Xu Mei looked at the beautiful hairpin and said, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Zhao Xue said proudly: "Of course, this is what my cousin chose for me. Xinxin and I both chose Peach Blossom."
Xu Mei looked at the new clothes on each of the three people, as well as the hairpin, which must have cost at least ten taels!
God!
This aunt's family is so rich.
How can it afford such expenses?
At this time, the eldest uncle took out the silver in his arms, nearly six taels, which was the salary for himself and his son for nearly three months.
Holding Xu Mei's hand, he said, "This is our salary for the past three months."
Xu Mei's eyes widened when she saw so much money in her hand.
No!
Didn’t you say there is no salary?
How come there is salary and so many important points?
The uncle looked at his wife's incredulous eyes and said, "In the yard, Xiao Jiang was just talking."
My aunt frowned: "How can you still ask for wages?"
Thinking that my husband and son are both so good-looking, and Xiaoxia has given them so many things and even paid them extra wages, how can I feel comfortable doing this!
Zhao Xue then said, "Mom, don't you know what kind of person Dad is?"
"Dad, no, but my cousin's wife said that everyone should accept it. The wages are earned through labor, and these gifts are her token of love."
Then he took out three taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Xu Mei: "Mom, this is what my cousin gave me when I left. Please help me put it away. This will be my dowry in the future."
Xu Mei didn't know what to say at this time.
This is one surprise after another.
All together, there are probably about twenty taels here!
I have never seen so much income in my life.
It seems that my home will really get better and better in the future.
And there is no need to worry about the marriage of the two children.
Zhao Xue continued, "Mom, what do you think this is?"
Zhao Xue took out the silkworm eggs.
Xu Mei looked at the strange thing and asked, "Is this the silkworm Xiao Xia was talking about?"
Zhao Xue nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Yes, here are two silkworm eggs. In a month, they will produce 200 kilograms of silk cocoons. The current price is 35 coins per kilogram, which means that these two eggs will be worth 7 taels of silver."
"Mom, we can build another house after raising the baby for about a year." Zhao Xue became happier and happier as she spoke.
Shen Xia also gave the seeds, but the village near the Zhao family has not yet done this, so there is no shortage of mulberry leaves in the mountains, and there are more than enough to eat.
Now the Zhao family has not split up yet, so the three families have to discuss the planting of seeds together.
Xu Mei watched all this.
How could you not be happy!
In the past, I couldn’t even save two taels of silver in a year, but now I can save nearly ten taels of silver in just three months.
What's the difference between this and money falling from the sky?
As for how to hand over this income, I have to discuss it with my husband and mother.
The more Xu Mei thought about it, the happier she became, and she was so excited that tears came to her eyes.
Zhao Xue was puzzled: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
The uncle looked at his wife and said, "Xiaomei, I've made you suffer with me these years. Don't worry, your life will get better and better in the future."
Xu Mei nodded: "Okay." Then she wiped the tears from her eyes.
I really see hope in life.
In the past two years, I have often been worried about my son's marriage.
Now the clouds have cleared and the moon is visible.
With this income, are you still worried about not being able to get married?
Never worry again.
Zhao Xue continued, "Mom, I will teach you about this first batch of silkworms at home. After you learn, I will go to my cousin's house and help her with the work."
Xu Mei smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you should help your cousin's wife well and be obedient. Your cousin's wife is really a great benefactor to our family!"
"That's right. You don't know how amazing my cousin's wife is! I can learn a lot from her. I even know a few words."
Zhao Xue has been with Shen Xia for three months, so she regards Shen Xia as her role model!
Xu Mei suddenly asked, "Then will Xinxin go?"
"Go ahead! We're both the same."
Xu Mei smiled and said, "Well, good, you two have a companion, which is good."
At this time, Xu Mei suddenly remembered that her daughter was going to work, so they would often live together, and Song Jiang had many cousins.
The point is that the Song family’s cousins are also handsome, and they look so happy when they see their daughter talking about the Song family.
My daughter has just reached the age of marriage, so I still have to remind her: "Xiaoxue! There are quite a lot of cousins in your aunt's family."
Zhao Xue listened to her mother's sudden and inexplicable words: "What do you mean?"
