Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 224 Not My Responsibility
"Nitro?"

Cang Xiuxuan didn't know why she suddenly asked about saltpeter, "What do you want this for?"

Saltpeter is very rare, and what is mined by the government is basically used to make firecrackers.

"I'm of great use. If you can find it, help me find more, but it must be as soon as possible. I want it before summer comes."

When summer comes, it's time for her milk tea shop to really make money, and by then she can also use this to make a lot of money from Liuweizhai.

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for it."

As long as it was something she wanted, let alone saltpeter, he would find a way to pick it off for her even if it was the moon in the sky.

**
The main project of Master Li's house was completed in more than 20 days, and Song Chen personally went to inspect it. The people in Wangcun did a good job, and basically there were no problems.

When they finished the last day of work, Song Chen asked Yan Yun to help them settle all their wages.

A total of eighteen people came to Wangcun to work here for Song Chen. They worked for a total of 21 days, and each person was paid [-] cents per day.

During the days they worked here in Beiguan Village, each of them received more than 400 yuan in wages.

The two leading masters each received three taels of wages.

I have to say that it is much easier to make money with a craft.

However, the people in Wangcun were also very satisfied and went back happily with more than 400 coins.

During this time, they left early and came back late, and there was almost no chance for family members to see each other until they returned after finishing their work.

When the family members took a closer look at them, they discovered that instead of losing weight, they were actually stronger.

"What are you doing? Are you being lazy?"

The men's eyes widened when they heard this, "What are you being lazy about? Do you know how to speak? If we are lazy, can we still get our wages back? You see clearly, this is only half a tael of silver."

After saying this, the man proudly handed over his money to the person in charge of the money at home.

Seeing so many copper coins, everyone smiled.

After all, most of them have not seen so much money at once for a long time.

The same scene was played out in more than a dozen households in Wangcun. They were also envied by other people in Wangcun when they came back this time.

Everyone is waiting together for the next opportunity to be approached by Song Chen and others to work.

The main project was completed, and all that was left was the decoration and furniture inside. This time, it was agreed that Master Li would choose the items himself. He had already done most of this work before, and now he only had to wait for them to deliver the items. coming.

Since he spent his own money to build the house, he chose these things more carefully, spending almost 200 taels of silver.

Then there were some famous paintings that were not well known to people, as well as paintings given to him by Song Chen.

Some of his books.

Soon a house with a very cultural atmosphere appeared.

On the moving day, Master Li didn't do any big things. He just invited Cang Xiuxuan, Song Chen and his family, and Lin Maofeng and his family to set up two tables.

Of course, Song Chen is still in charge of the cooking.

Although not all the dishes were made by her, she made the main ones. She even had the luxury of stewing two chickens with ginseng.

Lin Maofeng and the others had never eaten the food cooked by Song Chen. This was their first time. When they saw the ginseng in the chicken soup, the whole family was shocked.

In fact, they were not the only ones who were shocked, even Master Li himself was shocked. When he had dinner at Song Chen's house before, he felt that sometimes there was a faint smell of medicinal materials in the soup, but now he realized that she had stewed it together.

They never knew there was such a way to eat.

Even Master Li didn't know.

For something as precious as ginseng to be so wasted by Song Chen, they used to think it was extraordinary when they went to Beijing and sometimes were rewarded with a bowl of ginseng soup by the emperor in the palace.

Now he has the feeling that the emperor's life is not as good as Song Chen's.

He just kept these thoughts silently in his heart. He had to admit that the taste of this chicken soup was so beautiful that it made people want to drink it after drinking it.

The same goes for Lin Maofeng and the others. After finishing this table, they felt refreshed for a long time.

Master Li and Wang Shengwei moved out from the Song family, and Zhuang Bosong came again. This time he was responsible for helping Song Chen build a house on the mountain. Song Chen directly let him live at home. Zhuang Bosong had been very impressed with Song Chen's house before. Interested, now that I can experience it myself, I am naturally very happy.

The Song family didn't know yet that Song Chen was going to build a house on the mountain, and they only regarded Zhuang Boxong as a guest at home.But after he went out early and came back late for several consecutive days, still accompanying Song Chen, they noticed something was wrong.

Song Dashan asked Song Chen during dinner that night.

"Xiaochen, is Mr. Zhuang helping you?"

Song Chen was slightly startled, "Yes, don't you know?"

Song Dashan shook his head blankly, "I don't know, you never said it."

Song Chen tilted his head and thought for a while, "Oh, I really didn't remember telling you, didn't I buy that mountain in Wangcun before? I saw that the scenery on the mountain was quite good, so I I plan to build a house on the mountain, and I specially found Mr. Zhuang."

After Song Chen finished speaking, he smiled very sweetly.

But she didn't expect Song Wang and Song Dashan to hear what she said. Both of them frowned and looked very sad.

"Xiaochen, do you feel a little uncomfortable for your parents to have children at this age?"

Mrs. Song put down her bowl and chopsticks, her eyes a little red.

Song Chen stood up in surprise when he heard her words, "Mom, what are you talking about? How could I feel uncomfortable? There are more people in the family and it is more lively. Besides, you are older."

"Then you, then why do you want to move out?" Mrs. Song felt that Song Chen was still comforting her.

"When did I say I was going to move out?" Song Chen couldn't laugh or cry. As expected, a pregnant woman was not to be offended.

"If you don't want to move out, why do you want to build a house on the mountain?" Song Wang asked again.

Song Chen really smiled this time, "My dear mother, I think you are too busy now. Who told you that I built a house on the mountain just to move out? Didn't I plan to build an orchard on the mountain? I If I don’t find a place to live in the mountains, will it be possible for me to run back and forth every day? Do you want to exhaust me to death?”

"Also, there are medicinal fields, nursery bases, etc. on the mountain. The mountain in Wang Village is connected to the mountain in Shiping Village. I have had the roads repaired. It is very convenient for me to live and work on the mountain. "

After Song Chen's explanation, Mrs. Song indeed felt much more comfortable, but she still felt that Song Chen was partly comforting her.

"Although you said this, Mom still feels that you are hiding from home. You just work in the mountains and want to live there. Can't you just build a house? You also need to ask Mr. Zhuang to come over. I see that you clearly don't want Dad. Mother."

"Dad, please hurry up and persuade my mother, what is this?" Song Chen was really defeated by the Song Wang family, how could he have such thoughts.

"Mom, I know what you are thinking now. Do you think I am worried that I will have to take on the responsibility of raising the little one after he is born? So I want to hide away. I can tell you clearly that this situation is not acceptable. There is no way I can help you raise him because he is not my responsibility."

"He is your responsibility as a father and mother, but you are my responsibility, so I can support you, so there is no such thing as me needing to hide. Besides, according to the current conditions of our family, and I The money dad earns from me every month is enough to support ten more children, let alone one little one, right?"

Originally, Song Chen didn't plan to say these words now, but since her mother said this, she made it clear first.

Although she knew that her mother would not have such thoughts, it was inevitable that her mother's thoughts would change as time went by, so she simply started to make these words clear to her now.

In this way, her mother will know clearly whose responsibility the child is, and the child will grow up in a family with normal values.

In modern times, there are such families.

Parents will have a child who is similar to their own grandson later in life. At first, they feel that they can still support them. However, as the child grows up and they themselves become older, they gradually become unable to raise the child. .

At this time, older children have become their targets. They will feel that since I raised you, you should also help me raise my younger ones.

Such families often end in tragedy.

A good and happy life was destroyed by the parents' impulse.

But the situation here is obviously different. First of all, Song Dashan and Song Wang are not very old. In modern times, they are still in their prime. Song Dashan can still fight for at least 20 years, and men in this era have to start fighting when they are 13 years old. Take on family responsibilities.

Therefore, their youngest child could not become her and Song He's responsibility at all, so she did not have any hostility towards this child.

Even if she takes a step back, if this child really needs to be raised by her in the future, she doesn't think it's a big deal. Anyway, she doesn't lack the money to raise a child.

But at that time, they had to follow her request.

She couldn't let her child die like this.

However, no matter how hard she thought about it, the latter situation would never happen in their home.

Song Chen's words may have been a bit unkind, but Mrs. Song felt much more relaxed after hearing what she said.

Because Song Chen said these words, it meant that she really didn't want to move out of this home because of the child.

Although she was looking forward to the arrival of this child, she did not want to separate herself from her previous two children because of this child.
