"Here comes the girl, you got up so early, it's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer." Aunt Ming happened to see Xiao Ming coming in, and quickly stood up to say hello, without stopping to speak with her fast mouth.
Xiao Ming....
Sweat, it's still early. Everyone was up, but she was the only one who got up late.
"Good morning, godmother, good morning to Aunt Ming, good morning to everyone." Xiao Ming greeted everyone with a smile. In the kitchen, apart from Ms. Song who was in charge of the spoons, Aunt Ming who was lighting the fire, and three little girls Bai Xiaoyu, Yi's mother was nowhere to be seen.
"You kid, you got up early, do you have a good rest?" Mrs. Song asked with concern. Her goddaughter had been out for a month and got up so early again. This is the time when her body is growing, so it's not good if she doesn't get enough rest.
"Get some rest, godmother." Xiao Ming replied with a smile.
"Auntie." Bai Xiaoyu and the others saluted, and together with Yunling, they called Xiaoming Auntie. After spending a few days together, they became familiar with each other, and the unfamiliarity on the first day was far gone.
"Morning, are you still used to it?" Xiao Ming asked with a smile. The other two girls were named Meihua, eight years old this year, and Cuihua, seven years old. They came from a village. The flood flooded the village, and they followed. The villagers escaped and got separated. They said that the girls in their village were all named after a certain flower.
Bai Xiaoyu and the others nodded, very grateful.
"Very good, thank you, aunt."
While chatting with a few people, Xiao Ming looked at what was for breakfast. A large pot of porridge was being cooked, and three steamed buns were steaming in the pot. Not only that, the Song family also specially prepared food for each of the seven new members. A bowl of egg custard was steamed, and only seven bowls were prepared. Xiao Yu and Tiandong were not prepared because they were tired of eating it every day.
Mrs. Song is used to preparing simple food such as porridge, steamed buns, and a few fried side dishes for breakfast in the morning.
"Where are Mama Yi and Yun Ling?" Xiao Ming asked.
"They are helping Uncle Ming pick vegetables in the vegetable garden." Ms. Song said. In Xia Xiaoba's absence, Yi Feng took over the important task of teaching martial arts. Mother Yi took the initiative to take Yunling to the vegetable garden to help pick vegetables. The vegetables needed, but now that Uncle Ming is the leader of the work, they can just sort out the vegetables on the side without going to the ground at all.
"Where did Xiaoba go?" Xiao Ming asked curiously. It was strange that Xia Xiaoba, who used to be at their house when nothing happened, was not there. He didn't see him when he came back last night, and he didn't see him again today.
"I was called to the city by your Aunt An." Mrs. Song replied, obviously not knowing what was going on.
Oh, I went to the city again. Could it be that Brother Xia Wu has not recovered from his injury?
"Godmother, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's make some moon cakes and send them to the villagers." Xiao Ming ignored Xia Xiaoba's matters and suggested that they had settled down in Liujia Village and had to have good relations with the villagers. , this New Year and festival etiquette is indispensable.
"It's done, just wait until tomorrow to send it over." Mrs. Song said with a smile. This was reminded by Yi's mother. She had made a lot of it two days ago, and several familiar people in the city had already sent it over in advance.
In addition to the prepared mooncakes, each household also received two jars of fruit wine, a jar of canned fruit, and six packs of scented tea. This gift is not cheap.
"Okay." Xiao Ming nodded, very satisfied. With Yi's mother and godmother at home, she thought about everything carefully, and everything inside and outside the house was taken care of, so she felt much more at ease.
After breakfast, Xiao Ming carried the medicine box on her back and took Yunling, Xiao Han and the others to the town. She was going to the city for a follow-up visit with Mrs. Xu. At the same time, she also had to send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, two jars of fruit wine and one jar of fruit wine. Fruit wine and six packs of scented tea. Because of her diagnosis and treatment for Mr. Xu in the past two months, the two families had many ceremonial contacts.
The carriage was very lively. In addition to Xiao Han, Xiao Yu and Tiandong who went to study at Mr. Wu's place, there was also Chen Yuanze. This little kid had arrived at Xiao's house five days earlier and was waiting for Xiao Ming. During this period, he had nothing to do. Then he followed Xiao Han and the others to study at Mr. Wu's place. Mainly, Xiao Han was the only one in the family who was close to him in age, and he was Xiao Ming's younger brother. Chen Yuanze naturally felt more close to him, so Xiao Han went to study alone. It was not fun at home, so I went with him. After one day of going there, I somehow fell in love with Mr. Wu’s class, so I went with him every day.
Chen Yuanze's entourage, Laifu, sat on the shaft of the carriage, and Uncle Ming sat on the other side, driving the carriage in an orderly manner. Uncle Ming was always good at driving and drove very steadily, so Xiao Ming and the others did not feel any sway in the carriage.
Chen Yuanze sat next to Xiao Ming, and the seat on the other side of Xiao Ming was occupied by the little bun Xiao Yu.
"Sister, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. My husband said he would take us up the mountain to visit friends." Xiao Han said excitedly.
"Well, let's go." Xiao Ming nodded. This is a good thing. Mr. Wu is a great scholar in the world. He has many disciples and old friends, and the friends he has made are all literati and wealthy people. Xiao Han and the others can follow Mr. Wu and increase their knowledge, right? .
"Ask Mother Yi to prepare more food and bring it with you, and ask Yi Xuan to follow." Xiao Ming ordered.
"I'll go too." Chen Yuanze quickly raised his hand to sign up.
"good."
Xiao Han nodded, obviously understanding. Thinking of the newly bought house at home, it was the first major event for him to make the decision, and he felt a little uneasy. He didn't know if his sister was satisfied: "Sister, let's go to the city and have a look at the house. I don't know. Do you like it or not?"
Xiao Ming nodded. She knew last night that Xiao Han had decided to buy a new house for six thousand taels of silver. This price was not low. It was a big improvement for Xiao Han to be able to decide on this amount of money.
I just don’t know what this house is like and whether it is worth so much money. In the past month since she left, the family not only built a house, but also built two shops in Pingcheng. Yi Feng traveled around several towns and opened several shops. Yaxing said hello, and finally found thirty-five acres of high-quality farmland in Wangjiazhuang, not far outside Pingcheng. Although it was a little short, fortunately it was still connected together, with paddy fields and cultivated land. Yi Feng saw the opportunity and could not miss it. I bought it immediately, with eight taels of paddy fields and ten taels of cultivated land per acre. Although the price was a bit expensive, it was worth it to be connected into one area.
This time when Xiao Ming went to the city, in addition to conducting follow-up consultations with Mrs. Xu, she also wanted to take a look at her family's new property.
Xiao Yu's eyes sparkled when he thought about the new house, and he said excitedly: "Auntie, that house is so big. It has a garden, a pond, and koi carps. It's so beautiful."
"Really? Yu'er likes it very much, so your uncle is a good buy." Xiao Ming smiled, it would be nice to have a garden and a pond.
snort! Chen Yuanze curled his lips and was dissatisfied. Just a small house made his sister so happy. So, should he also buy a house for her? He thought to himself, and couldn't help but look at his sister's expression. She seemed very happy talking and laughing with Xiao Yu. It seems that if he likes that house very much, then he must buy a more beautiful house for his sister, so that her sister will not like the house Xiao Han bought.
Well, that's it. Chen Yuanze didn't say anything and slowly got an idea in his mind.
