"I'm back, I'm back, my third uncle and my little sister are back!"
After Song Xixi and Song Cai left, the Song family couldn't do anything. They went to the village entrance several times from morning to night, and the word "worry" was almost engraved on their faces.
The moment he saw two familiar figures, Song Niannian jumped up and ran home, immediately telling his eager relatives the good news.
Except for Song Qingqing, a tofu seller in the town, and Song Qingshan, the three brothers who are studying, everyone else in the Song family is busy with their own affairs at home.
As soon as he heard Song Niannian's call, he was so happy that he immediately put down what he was doing and hurried out: "You're really back?"
Song Niannian nodded fiercely: "We are almost at the entrance of the village. The third uncle and the little sister are together!"
The Song family was overjoyed: Four days, four whole days, we are back!
When the neighbors saw the whole family going out together, they couldn't help but feel that they were making a big fuss: It was not the first time for Ah Cai and Xi Yatou to go out. Is it worthy for the whole family to be so excited?
Regardless of what others thought, the Song family happily arrived at the intersection. Seeing the father and daughter with both beards and tails, not even a hair less than two hundred and fifty, they finally let go of the heavy stone in their hearts: "It's good to be back.
It’s good to be back!”
This was the first time for Song Cai to receive such a grand welcome, and he was flattered for a moment: "Why are you here? Did you not see me for a few days, and suddenly you know that I am well?"
Song Wufu twitched the corner of his mouth and walked directly past him towards his granddaughter: "My dear, are you tired? Go home and have a good rest."
Zhang Xiaomei held her hand and looked around, feeling distressed and said: "I have lost weight. I must not be able to eat well or sleep well outside. My dear baby will suffer! Let your uncle buy some old hens tomorrow and make a good stew."
I’ll replenish it for you!”
Song Xixi felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "The food and drinks are delicious in the Yamen. I haven't suffered at all. There is no need to stew the old hens."
Huang Qiuyun said quickly: "Yes, yes, you are growing taller, so you need to eat more meat and drink more soup, so that your body and bones are not weak."
The whole family gathered around Song Xixi to inquire about his welfare, but Song Cai was inevitably left out. Just as he was about to sigh, the two little puppies on his back began to howl, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What's going on? Where did this dog come from?"
Zhang Xiaomei subconsciously frowned, the look of disgust on her face was obvious: "It's not like there are no dogs at home, why did you catch two more dogs? Do you think there is too much food in the house?"
Song Cai shouted his injustice: "I didn't catch him, I asked Guabao to help train him!"
As soon as she heard that it was related to her granddaughter, Zhang Xiaomei immediately changed her expression: "Hey, just keep it as long as you want. This chubby look is so cute!"
This differential treatment made Song Cai sigh deeply and once again doubted that he had picked it up.
It was not a place to talk outside. The family returned home and closed the door. Song Cai put down the two puppies in his backpack and told the story in detail about the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Song Xixi concealed from him all the dangers of intercepting Luda and his party at the West City Gate, so after hearing all this, the Song family had no other extreme reaction except applauding for catching the gang of villains who had done all the bad things.
Immediately, Song Cai pointed at the two little puppies that were sniffing around the familiar territory, and announced another big news in a very sullen voice: "The prefect has taken a fancy to Guabao and Erbaiwu's abilities, and offered them a monthly salary of six taels of silver.
Recruit them to run errands for the Yamen, and they will be enjoying the royal food!"
What?
Everyone's eyes widened, and then their faces showed expressions of ecstasy: "Really? Is this true?"
Song Cai quickly took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it out in front of them: "The employment document with the official seal cannot be more authentic!"
Song Wufu couldn't wait to take it over, staring intently at the big red seal in the lower right corner.
Others craned their necks to look closer, even if they were illiterate, they wanted to see what the employment document with the official seal looked like.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Song Wufu's hands trembled with excitement and his eyes were a little red: "Finally, we have a person who eats royal food!"
Song Cai reminded: "There are still two hundred and five."
"Haha, yes, there are two hundred and five more, you are all giving us a face!"
Zhang Xiaomei's face flushed with excitement, she hugged the calm Song Xixi and kissed her, then she hugged the 250-year-old dog's head and praised her: "What a good dog, grandma will feed you goose eggs every day from now on!"
When he heard about the food, Erbaifu's eyes lit up: "Ouch!"
After getting excited, Song Xixi said seriously: "One person escaped that night and has not been caught yet. Although he didn't know that Erbaiwu and I were involved in the arrest, there is no guarantee that he knew about it from elsewhere."
Upon hearing this, the Song family understood what she meant: "Be careful these days and try not to go out."
Song Xixi nodded and said to Song Cai: "You should also be careful when you arrive in the town. Once you find something abnormal, you must take Niu Xiaohua and Qingqing home in time."
Song Cai knew the importance: "Dad will be careful."
Finally, Song Xixi took out the five hundred taels of silver notes awarded by the government and handed it to Zhang Xiaomei. When Zhang Xiaomei was about to stuff it into her pocket happily, she took the opportunity to suggest: "The tofu business must last for a long time, so it is more economical to buy that shop."
."
This time Zhang Xiaomei did not object. She thought about it in her mind and said to Song Cai: "Next time the landlord comes back, you can talk to him. If the price is right, buy it. If he sees that our business is good, he will open his mouth.
, you can also buy the one next door."
Song Cai had wanted to buy it for a long time, but when his wife relented, he immediately agreed.
Mindful of what was going on in the shop, he packed up his clothes and went to town early the next morning.
Song Xixi was worried and forcefully asked Erbaifu to go with him.
The two-hundred-and-five-year-old boss was reluctant and showed his teeth to the two puppies before leaving. He probably misunderstood Song Xixi's intentions and thought she had a "new love", so he abandoned her "old love".
All in all, I was reluctant to leave, and my screams were extremely plaintive.
Afterwards, some villagers came to ask about the reason why Song Xixi and Song Cai were arrested and taken away quickly. The Song family kept the same rhetoric as before and did not reveal at all what the father and daughter did during the four days they went to the city.
For the next half month, the Song family was calm and nothing special happened, which made everyone gradually relax their vigilance.
On this day, Song Xixi was holding dried fish in her hand and was cultivating feelings and understanding with the two little puppies. 001 suddenly appeared and reminded: [Host, the potato planting season is coming soon, you should go into the mountains to open up wasteland~]
Song Xixi calculated the time and found that it was indeed time to prepare, so she walked up the mountain with the two puppies in her arms.
When she went out, she didn't forget to tell Song Niannian where she was going, so that her family wouldn't be worried if they didn't see her come back.
001 didn’t expect her to be so active, and she flattered the world loudly: [The host is too hard-working. If all the hosts were like you, there would be no system that would be so worried that it would be bald~ This system is so happy, it has the most perfect thing in the world
Host~]
Song Xixi joked: "You are good at flattering, have you gone somewhere to study?"
001 argued: [This is the truth of this system, there is no need to learn at all!]
Song Xixi smiled and walked faster into the mountains.
