Song Xixi was riding Xiao Hei, who had gained a lot of weight. She was holding a bench with an injured leg in her arms. There were two hundred and five hundred and a pole in the basket behind her.
This strange combination attracted countless eyeballs. Some people saw that the three dogs were beautiful and powerful, so they stopped Xiaohei and asked Song Xixi if he sold dogs, and he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy one.
Before Song Xixi could speak, the pole in her arms bared her teeth fiercely, scaring them away.
When they arrived at Hongfeng Town, Song Xixi went to the tofu shop.
As soon as he saw her, Song Cai breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen his savior: "Good boy, you are back!"
Song Xixi asked: "What's wrong?"
Song Cai glanced into the room and deliberately lowered his voice: "The two people we hired came here at the beginning of the year, but they didn't find your grandparents and their family, and they didn't find out where they were."
Song Xixi's expression remained unchanged. This result was what she expected: "There has been no news from Pan Dahu, so I guessed that my grandparents did not return to their hometown."
Song Cai felt heavy: "Your mother didn't say it, but she knew it in her heart. It's just that she didn't get the exact news from those two people before, so she had a hope in her heart. Now...sigh..."
Song Xixi nodded: "I'll go in and see her."
Niu Hua'er felt uncomfortable. She cried alone in the room and fell asleep.
When she regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she saw Song Xixi sitting quietly in front of the bed, half-supporting her chin and looking at her for a moment.
"My dear, you are back!"
Niu Hua'er, who had not seen her daughter for many days, was filled with joy. A smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and her eyes that were swollen from crying narrowed into a slit.
Song Xixi stood up and sat on the bed, stroking her somewhat messy hair: "It's almost the Chinese New Year. If they don't let me back, I will have no choice but to run away with 250 and them overnight."
Niu Hua'er said angrily: "You are working for the official family, how can you be so willful! Besides, the official family gives you six taels of silver every month. There was nothing wrong with you in the first two months and there was no arrears. If it were anyone else, you would be celebrating the New Year in the Yamen.
No complaints either.”
Song Xixi said confidently: "So I am not someone else, so there is no need to deal with them!"
Niu Hua'er felt that her daughter's thoughts were not right, so she put aside the discomfort in her heart for the time being, and decided to talk to her: "There is a saying, if you eat your food, you must share your worries with others. You take the money and do it well."
Life is what it should be..."
Song Xixi said deliberately: "Two hundred and five and I add up to six taels of silver, which is seventy-two taels in one year. It's not as much as our shop makes!"
Niu Hua'er stared anxiously: "The three of us plus two donkeys are so busy every day that we only have one hundred and ten taels of silver in a year. Calculated in detail, it is far less than you and two hundred and five. You are not satisfied yet!"
It's so glorious to work for an official. If you tell me, others will look down on you. Why does this girl still think this job is not good?
Song Xixi was "not satisfied" and argued with her for a long time. What she meant was that she could earn more money than this without working for the government.
Niu Hua'er was so anxious that she almost hit her on the head to see if it was filled with mud.
Seeing that he was losing his mind if he kept talking, Song Xixi reluctantly said, "Okay, since you think this is a good job, then Erbaiwu and I will continue to do it."
Niu Hua'er finally regained her breath and raised her hand to give her a gentle kiss: "Bad girl, you are trying to make me anxious!"
Song Xixi said without sincerity: "You're so smart, you actually figured it out."
Niu Hua'er rolled her eyes at her, but felt warm in her heart: "Don't worry, Mom is open-minded. At worst, we will hire a few more people next year to search all over the world. As long as your grandparents are still in the world, they will be found sooner or later."
Song Xixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "You and I can't use our two hundred and five taels of monthly salary, so we asked you to hire people. And the one hundred thousand taels of silver that grandma left here with me, I just left it there and used it together."
This saves grandma from worrying about being stolen."
Niu Hua'er didn't know that the 100,000 taels of silver note was in her hands. After being surprised, she rubbed her daughter's little head and said proudly: "My dear baby is really capable. Even if your grandma gets the money, she can still fool her!"
But the old lady has a really big heart. She knows that Guabao spends money lavishly, but she still dares to give her a hundred thousand taels of silver. Aren't she afraid that she will clean it up in a few times?
With Song Xixi's unreserved support and encouragement, Niu Hua'er's gloomy mood was completely dispelled, and her thoughts were all about making more money, hiring more people, and finding her lost relatives as soon as possible.
With this kind of motivation, who has time to sigh?
There are only about ten days left before the Chinese New Year, which is also the busiest time for shops. Many people are stocking up on soy products to eat during the Chinese New Year.
Not only are the fresh soy products sold three times more than usual, but the stinky tofu, which was launched a while ago, has also become very popular due to word of mouth from regular customers who dare to try it, and the stock for many days has been sold out.
If Song Qingqing hadn't listened to Song Xixi's words and specifically reminded the guests not to be greedy for too much stinky tofu, I'm afraid they would have been unsatisfied and would have come to grab some every day.
The business was so good that the three of them were obviously too busy, so Song Xixi did not rush back to the village, but decided to stay in the shop and work until it closed, and then go home together.
With her as a person who has no place to use her strength, not only Song Cai and the three people feel a lot more relaxed, but the pressure on the two grinding donkeys is also relieved. They will not be like the previous few days when they were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth and their limbs were shaking when they saw the stone mill.
Soft.
The three dogs were used to running around all over the mountains and fields. Suddenly they were confined in a small yard and could not go out to run wild. They were not used to it and wanted to go out and play all the time.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the three of them are nothing more than a walking pile of meat. Song Xixi doesn't dare to let them out to play alone, so she can only try to take them for walks in the wild as much as possible.
On this day, Song Xixi had been up and busy since the rooster crow. She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She really didn't have the energy to take the two hundred and fifty them out for a walk, so she let them run circles in the yard and waited for her to wake up before going out.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up, there were no traces of the three dogs in the yard.
Song Xixi thought they were sleeping in a corner, so she stood in the yard and shouted: "Two hundred and five, pole and bench, we are going out to play."
Even after shouting several times, not a single hair on the dog was seen!
Song Xixi realized something was wrong and hurriedly searched for it. Finally, she found a freshly dug hole in the corner outside the livestock shed, which was enough to accommodate a strong body of two hundred and fifty, not to mention a pole bench for a half-sized dog.
There is no doubt that this dog hole was created by the three of them!
Song Xixi ignored her anger and hurried back to the house to wake Song Cai up, told him that the dog was missing, and hurried out to look for the dog.
"My dear, I'll go with you!" Song Cai hurriedly put on his cotton-padded jacket, pulled on his shoes and ran out.
Niu Hua'er and Song Qingqing next door were woken up and quickly got up to look for the dogs, fearing that if they were too late, the three dogs would be stewed.
