Song Wangyue went to the village headman’s house.
When she heard her intention, the village headman agreed to the job without saying a word, “My wife is a good cook, let her go over there, don’t worry, not a single meal will be left behind, and she will make sure that the person is well fed.”
“That would be a problem.”
Song Wangyue didn’t bother to be polite with him and took out her silver ticket, “Here’s the money for the food.”
If she said it was money for work, the village chief naturally couldn’t take it, the workshop was built here, the village people didn’t know how much they had benefited from it, even his two sons had joined the workshop as workers, but he couldn’t not take the money for the vegetables, everything was expensive during the New Year.
“I’ll take it then, I’ll pay you back when I can’t spend it.”
Song Wangyue smiled and agreed, leading the people over to let Song Sanxiao and Qi Ying and the guards at the gate have a look, and then took the carriage and Song Shen back home.
Song Si and Xiao Yao were placed in the west room on Liu Cui Lan’s side.
Song Si went to the main house to talk with Grandma Song and Elder Song, while Xiao Yao was by herself in the house.
“Sister-in-law.”
Song Wangyue smiled as she walked into the house.
Xiao Yao was holding a cup of water and put the cup down when she heard the voice, greeted Song Wan Yue and sat beside herself, asking directly, “Have I caused trouble for the family?”
This was her mother-in-law’s house, and she should have come over as soon as she returned, but instead she was led to her eldest aunt’s side first, and she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
“Not at all, the family couldn’t be happier, but there is indeed one thing.”
Song Wan Yue didn’t hide anything from her, and told her about how Qi Ying had her heart set on Song Si, but ended up marrying Song San Xiao.
Xiao Yao’s jaw dropped as she listened, it was surprising that there was such a thing, she had never even heard of it, the one who had her heart set on her nephew but married her younger uncle.
It was only after a long time that she lowered her voice and asked, “That Qi girl, she ……”
I want to ask what kind of person she is, but I’m afraid Song Wan Yue will think she cares.
“Not as pretty as you and not as calm as you, otherwise big brother wouldn’t be able to look at her.”
Song Wangyue knew what she wanted to ask and teased with a smile.
Xiao Yao blushed red and glared at her.
The news of Song Si’s return soon spread throughout the village, and people in the village were all excited and sent gifts to the door, not anything expensive, but all the New Year’s goods that each family had prepared themselves, saying that they were adding a dish to Song Si.
The Song family could not refuse, and if they did, they would be looking down on the people of the village, so they accepted them one by one and told Song Shen to keep them in mind and return them later.
The village headman was the last to come, not taking anything, but entering the courtyard with his hands behind his back. The old man Song saw it at first glance through the window paper and hurried out to welcome him in.
The village headman was about to bow down when he entered the house, but Song Si was quick to pull him back, “Grandfather village head, there’s no need to do that.”
Hearing him call out to the village chief, the village chief’s heart settled and after taking his seat, he asked, “How many days are you planning to stay at home?”
“Five or six days or so.”
“That’s right ……”
The village chief covered his mouth and coughed lightly, “Our village has produced such a great official as you since it was founded, we should celebrate, pick a time to have a meal with the whole village.”
“Sure.”
Song Si agreed without the slightest hesitation, “Let’s set it for the sixth day of the New Year.”
Hearing that he had agreed, the village headman’s heart was unusual and he immediately got up, “Alright then, I’ll go door to door and inform them so that they can vacate all the early sixth day side.”
After the village chief left, Grandma Song and Liu Cui Lan brought in the dough and vegetable fillings and placed them on the table in the hall, greeting the family to make dumplings, even Xiao Yao was called over.
The smile on Xiao Yao’s face didn’t fade until dinner. She was glad that when her cousin said she should marry Song Si, she didn’t object, and she was also glad that Song Si had fallen in love with her, so she had such a good husband and a good in-law.
Meanwhile, at the border.
Song Yin also returned to the city, took a comfortable bath, changed his clothes and took Xiao Si to the general’s residence.
Shen Yan invited all the generals to a banquet at his residence today, as is his annual practice.
When he arrived, only Lieutenant Wei was there, and when he saw him, he greeted him and sat beside him, patting him on the shoulder with a friendly face, “You are really lucky, I thought I could only come to the general’s residence for dinner after five years in the army.”
“That’s because I could beat you.”
Song Yin said unhurriedly.
The hand of Lieutenant Wei patting his shoulder gave a beat, and his eyes widened, looking at him carefully, how could he feel that this kid was too beaten?
He said, “I say, you’re a bit beaten up, don’t force me to do it to you now.”
Song Yin gave him a light glance.
The lieutenant instantly exploded, and got up, rolling up his arms and sleeves, “What kind of look is that? You really think I can’t beat you, I was careless that day, come on, let’s go outside and have a match.”
Song Yin shook the hem of his robe, seemingly not seeing his anger, “No, you’re already defeated, there’s nothing to show for beating you again.”
“You ……”
The first of these is the one that is the most popular and admired of all the people in the army, but no one has ever dared to speak to him in this way.
“Old Wei ……”
When the curtain of the living room was lifted, Lieutenant Wu came in and saw that Lieutenant Wei was all angry and was wondering, “It’s the New Year, who pissed you off again?”
“Who else could it be, naturally it’s this brat who doesn’t know the sky is the limit.”
The old Captain Wu was sitting calmly, as if he hadn’t heard Captain Wei’s words, Song Yin, smiled and rounded up the situation, “Come on, what are you bothering with a kid, everyone will be here soon, it’s the New Year, don’t make the general unhappy.”
Captain Wei grumbled and sat back down, leering at Song Yin with his eyes.
As if he didn’t notice his gaze, Song Yin picked up the tea jar on the side and slowly drank his tea.
Soon, all the generals arrived and the butler came in and led them to the dining room.
The dining room was large, with a large table set up, enough to hold twenty people, and the table was decorated with sugar and various kinds of snacks, as well as peanuts and melon seeds.
All the generals were used to it, and after meeting Shen Yan and sitting over, they took what was on the table and ate it.
Song Yin also grabbed a handful of melon seeds and asked curiously while knocking them, “General, is there still entertainment?”
As soon as he said this, the dining hall was silent for a moment, and a thought flashed through the minds of all the generals at the same time.
Shen Yan knew that he was trying to make trouble again, so he did not reprimand him, but went along with his words, “What kind of entertainment do you want to see?”
“Naturally it’s something exciting, like me picking three or five or something.”
