husband and wife

Chapter 49

Finally entered the block of Songlin Town, there are rows of shops lined up neatly on both sides, all black beams and gray tiles, and two red lanterns hanging under the eaves.Although the streets are crowded with pedestrians, there are still peddlers who carry their burdens and peddle, but most of them are hawkers who set up their stalls neatly on both sides according to the rules. After the hawkers are the shops of Wuliang Huiwa. It is a courtyard, but the front hall is used as a storefront, and the backyard is the place to eat and sleep.

Su Wan looked at the noise of people in the street, but there was no chaos. She looked like a thriving and prosperous scene, which really overturned her impression of this era. It was clear that such a real world existed, and there were flesh and blood people coming and going. Like them, they have to live, eat, eat, live, and travel, and they will also be born, old, sick and die-how can she separate herself from the world?

"Sister-in-law three, why are you in a daze?"

Su Wan regained her senses, shook her head and said: "I'm just a little surprised, how this town is similar to the county, it looks busy but doesn't give people a sense of chaos."

"So you're thinking about this." Song Xiaomei smiled, "It's not surprising. The third brother said that because our town is close to the city, the county master sometimes goes to the countryside to inspect it. It must be managed well, but it is far from the city. The towns that are not close to us are not as good as ours. In the early years, I went to the market in Yanglin Town where my eldest brother-in-law was, but it was not fun at all."

"Miss?"

"Third sister-in-law, don't you forget my eldest sister?" Song Xiaomei looked at her suspiciously, "She came back when you married third brother, and took Erlang to stay at home for one night before leaving."

"I remember that Erlang has a bit of a personality..." Su Wan paused on purpose, and Song Xiaomei really took the conversation, "Erlang was born prematurely and was weak. My sister raised him as a girl and didn't let him play with the children in the village. He has a temper. That's why I admit life so much, but he is very good!"

Su Wan nodded, and asked again: "How long has eldest sister been married?"

"I remember when I was seven years old, it should have been eight years."

"I only paid attention to Erlang that time, and didn't pay much attention to Eldest Sister. I'm afraid I can't remember her appearance clearly..."

"It doesn't matter. My eldest sister is married far away. It takes an afternoon to walk here from their village. My brother-in-law's house doesn't have an ox cart, so my elder brother and second brother will only drive a cart to pick them up during the Chinese New Year."

"They go there in the morning, so they can pick them up at night?"

Song Xiaomei nodded with concern: "No, it's already dark when we get home."

Su Wan is about to despair of the ancient means of transportation. Visiting relatives is more troublesome than going abroad. Song Ziheng still wants to go to Beijing to catch the exam. This is Jiangnan...Su Wan can't even think about it.

At this point in the conversation about Sister Song, Su Wan suddenly stopped when she saw a wine shop in front of her, and turned her head to ask Young Sister Song, "Is that the shop opened by Aunt Liu's son?"

"How does sister-in-law know?"

"It says Song Ji Liquor Shop." Su Wan pointed to the plaque, and said, "Besides, the words look familiar, maybe it was written by Xianggong?"

"Exactly." Song Xiaomei looked proud, "Third brother writes well, and I come to her for anything in the village. Aunt Liu said that it costs a lot of money to hire someone to write an inscription outside, so it's not as good-looking as third brother's. Aunt Liu and her son must have sent several jars of wine for people's money, but unfortunately my father and brother didn't drink it, and my aunt and aunt moved them back to their home little by little."

Su Wan looked around the wine shop a few times, but didn't see anyone going in, but to open a shop, they should be making money, so she asked, "Then is this shop rented or bought?"

"Bought it."

"Then they made a lot of money."
