husband and wife

Chapter 317

"Yeah." Su Wan replied, her eyes still closed, but she reached out and touched Song Liangchen's head. Her son would only call her mother so sweetly when he was in a good mood. At the same time, the little guy's good mood also represented Easy to talk, Su Wan coaxed lazily, "Be good, baby, let mother sleep for a while."

Song Liangchen really cooperated unexpectedly, he was not as noisy as usual, insisting on Su Wan getting up, instead, he lifted Su Wan's quilt with bright eyes, slipped in, and squeezed his small body into Su Wan's arms, Su Wan also took advantage of the situation to hug her Hold him, rub your face against his forehead, "Good girl, sleep with your maid."

The little guy nodded with sparkling eyes.

Mrs. Su lifted the cup away abruptly, and Song Liangchen immediately raised his head and looked at her vigilantly, as if he was afraid that his grandma would make trouble and hug him out. Mrs. Su said dumbfoundedly: "Liangchen didn't even take off his clothes and shoes."

Su Wan was very sleepy, she hugged the little guy without letting go, she just said: "Just take off his shoes."

"All right, you sleep first, I'll do it."

Mrs. Su quickly took off Song Liangchen's shoes, then covered them with quilts, looked up and saw Song Liangchen curling Su Wan's hair with his fingers, having fun, and patted his head lightly: "Be good, don't wake up your mother."

In mid-October, Song Youfu, who was free, drove to Qingyuan County to pick up the children and Mrs. Li. The time they returned to Beijing was not fixed. When the store or wine market was busy, they had no time to pick them up. They come back, but if the family is free, pick them up more frequently.

But there was something else about picking them up this time.

It has been two years since Sending Youfu brought the children to Beijing. Now the capital has stabilized, the vines have been planted, and there are two shifts of long-term workers guarding them every day, waiting to bear fruit, and the Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain is also The construction has been completed, all the tools for the winery are available, and people will be hired to work when the grapes are ripe in the coming year.At the end of the year, nothing happened to Song Youfu.

Song Youfu is thinking now, they have never been away from their parents for so long, although the third brother will send home letters every month, but the grandchildren are no longer married, the parents are worried about loneliness, the elder brother thinks he is also thinking about his nephew We also saw that the children did not have to go to school from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to the end of the Lantern Festival. During this one and a half months, they drove their own carriages back to their hometowns, and they had plenty of time.

After discussing with Song Ziheng, Song Youfu decided to drag his family back to celebrate the New Year this year. In fact, Song Ziheng also wanted to go back, but was stopped by Song Youfu: "Liangwen and the others are better. How old are you? This long trip back to the hometown, the carriage is bumpy, how can a child hold on, third brother should stop thinking about it, if you insist on doing this, won’t your parents be worried?”

It is true that there are too many children who died young. Song Liangchen is still at this age, and people can't be completely relieved. When Song Youfu said this, Song Ziheng hesitated. Song Youfu said again: "The third younger brother will change jobs next year. Wouldn't it be a good time to go back to your hometown to visit your parents?"

After being told in this way, Song Ziheng gave up the idea of ​​going back, and asked his second brother to plead guilty to his parents on his behalf, and decided to send back an annual gift of [-]% more this year. Tailor clothes for them, and prepare all the new clothes for the New Year before they return home.

When Mrs. Li heard what her husband said, she was stunned, and said a little strangely: "Are we really going back to our hometown for the New Year?"

Song Youfu decided to come pick him up in person because he was worried that Mrs. Li would be dissatisfied and making trouble in front of everyone, wouldn't it make everyone look bad?That's why I came early, just to talk to her first, and seeing Li Shi's reaction at this time, I frowned and asked, "Are you not happy?"

Mrs. Li said in her heart that she was really unhappy. Originally, she had a great time in Beijing. During the New Year's Day, there were officials and wives from various families, such as the young master of the Hou family and the young master, who came to visit the house. Although she couldn't talk to the nobles, However, seeing more of the world is also good.

Therefore, since coming to Beijing, Mrs. Li thinks that her status is very different, and she really looks down on those rural women in her hometown.In addition, there are benefits to celebrating the New Year in Beijing. If Mrs. Su is as lazy as last year and entrusts her to buy New Year gifts for her hometown, wouldn't she be able to scrape off dozens of taels of silver again?Mrs. Li was waiting to make a fortune at the end of the year, and she was really surprised to hear her husband say that.

But what surprised Li even more was that that person wasn't talking nonsense?
Song Youfu heard Li muttering softly, and asked, "What are you talking about alone?"

Mrs. Li is not a person who can hold back, so she leaned towards her husband with a mysterious face and said, "A few days ago, I took Mama Li to buy vegetables, and when I got home, a young woman stopped me, saying that her master Who is it—it’s a very big official anyway, I don’t remember the name clearly, but I heard that he is a high-ranking second-rank official, an important minister in the court!”

Song Youfu frowned, and asked one after another: "Why is the family of the second-rank senior official looking for you? What did the maid say? Also, did you report the name of her master?"

"I knew the surname was Liu. As for why you came to me..." Li Shi suddenly smiled, "Tsk tsk, this lady is really eye-popping, I thought she was talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously! "

"What's the deal!"

Li Shi didn't mind being stared at by her husband, the more he was like this, the more he was interested in this topic, and Li Shi's desire to gossip was instantly satisfied.

"It's said that their master has taken a fancy to the third uncle and wants to recruit him as a son-in-law. I'm surprised. The third uncle has wives and children. Although the younger brothers and sisters are not virtuous enough, they haven't done anything too out of the ordinary. Marry another? Then ask her if she made a mistake."

Song Youfu frowned, all his attention was on the Liu family that Li Shi was talking about, but he really didn't pay attention to her words, he just asked her: "What did the maid say?"

"She even read out Sanshu's surname and characters, the location of our Songjia Village, our mansion in Beijing, and when my third uncle won the number one prize. stop?"

Recently, Song Youfu followed Mrs. Su to go out to look at business. Now when he heard Mrs. Li's words, he instantly ruled out the possibility of finding the wrong person, and subconsciously thought: "To be able to know so much about our family, I am afraid that many people have asked about it. gone."

Mrs. Li was stunned again when she heard the words, and said: "In our village, except for our family, no one else is in Beijing. How can we inquire about so many things? Could it be that he has been to our hometown?" After finishing speaking, he shook his head, "No As for the matter, that girl who is a lady of the family and doesn't worry about getting married, why is she staring at Third Uncle like this?"
