The arrival of Niu Dahan and Zhu Sanyu made the Song family and even the entire Song family'ao excited!
The villagers who were building the ancestral hall all put down their work and rushed to the Song family to inquire about the situation with the Niu family.
It turns out that Songjia'ao and Niutou Village are not far apart, and the two villages will have a marriage relationship every few years. Those villagers who have daughters and sisters who have married into Niutou Village are eager to learn about it from Niu Dahan and Zhu Sanyu.
News about your loved ones.
It's just that these villagers are destined to be disappointed. On the way to Beijing with Jiang Yi, the Niu family did meet many villagers, but none of them were from Niutou Village.
The couple had no idea where more than a hundred people from Niutou Village ended up.
After all, when they decided to flee the famine, Niutou Village had no destination. They just wanted to survive by begging for food, and they would have to go back when the drought was over.
Now maybe they will return to their hometown in Yongzhou.
After the villagers dispersed, the Song family could finally have a good time reminiscing with Niu Dahan and Zhu Sanyu.
After hearing the Niu family's experience of escaping from famine, Song Wufu and others were very worried for them. They were even more thankful that they met the good man Jiang Yi, otherwise the family of six would have been in much worse danger.
The concern and enthusiasm of the Song family also made Niu Dahan, who was about to stay for a while, feel at ease with Zhu Sanyu.
Near noon, Zhang Chunlan and Huang Qiuyun went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Song Xixi and the others were also preparing lunch.
"Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu are so lucky!"
Huang Qiuyun was washing a large piece of bacon, with envy and hope on his face: "I don't know how my father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law are doing. It would be great if Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu were lucky."
Zhang Chunlan thought of her natal family, who also had no news, and her eyes gradually filled with tears: "Ji people have their own destiny, and there are several brothers from your natal family who left with other people in the village, so they will be safe and sound."
Huang Qiuyun accepted her comfort in his heart, but his mood was always a little low: "At the beginning of the year, we hired people to visit our hometown. If they really go back, I can really feel at ease."
Zhang Chunlan murmured: "Yes, as long as I know that they are safe and sound, even though they are thousands of miles apart and will never see each other again in this life, I am satisfied."
Listening to the conversation between the sisters-in-law, Song Qingqing and Song Niannian felt extremely uncomfortable.
One resented that she was incompetent and could not solve her mother's problems in her lifetime; the other resented that she was too young to help, and even the money spent on finding someone was not earned by her.
Song Xixi didn't know how to comfort the two elders, so her mind changed and she started to change the topic: "Madam and Madam, there is a big happy event that I forgot to tell you."
The sad sisters were not interested in the good news she said, but they still cheered up and asked: "What good news?"
Song Xixi pointed at Song Niannian: "I went to Fucheng this time to let Niannian learn a skill. Unexpectedly, she got lucky. She was accepted as an apprentice by a master with superb embroidery skills. In two days, she would pack her bags and follow her.
People have learned skills."
Just now everyone's attention was attracted by Niu Dahan and Zhu Sanyu, and they didn't have time to share with them the good news that Song Niannian was accepted as Qingyin's apprentice.
"Really? Niannian, is what your little sister said true?" Zhang Chunlan's mind was instantly occupied by her daughter's apprenticeship. She put down her kitchen knife and walked to Song Niannian and asked with a look of joy on her face.
"Well, I passed Master's test, and Master will accept me as his disciple~" Song Niannian was a little proud, but also a little nervous, hoping to get her mother's praise.
Zhang Chunlan did not disappoint her, and was so excited that she was at a loss for words: "Okay, okay! My daughter is really amazing, I can find a good master to learn from!"
Song Niannian eagerly shared: "Mom, my master is amazing. The embroidered fox can run, jump and blink; the embroidered flowers can attract butterflies with their fragrance; the embroidered fish can jump out of the water and eat in full bloom."
The lotus... one day, I will be as powerful as Master!"
When she becomes as powerful as her master, she will earn a lot of money, and her mother will use it to hire people to find her grandparents. As long as she makes enough money to hire thousands of people, she will definitely be able to find her grandfather and her family.
.
"If you are ambitious, my daughter is smart and capable, and will become a powerful embroidery master in the future!" Zhang Chunlan touched her daughter's little face, and her originally gloomy mood suddenly became much brighter.
Huang Qiuyun was also happy for his niece, with a smile on his face: "Qingqing has the skill of making soy products, Xixi has a serious job in the yamen, and now she is getting rich every year. The daughter of our old Song family is very powerful!"
"
Song Niannian waved his hands quickly: "I am far worse than my elder sister and younger sister. It's because the master doesn't dislike me for being stupid and is willing to accept me as his disciple!"
Speaking of this, she looked at Zhang Chunlan with some worry: "Mom, Fucheng is too far away from our home. Master asked me to move there and live with her..."
It is true that the little girl wants to learn art, but it is also true that she is reluctant to leave home.
"You child, it's not easy to have a good master. Naturally, you have to serve your master well and learn the skills!" Zhang Chunlan was also very reluctant to give up, but she did not show it in front of her daughter.
Song Niannian muttered: "Mother didn't even hesitate. It can be seen that she is annoyed by me and wishes that I would bother Master..."
Zhang Chunlan patted her on the forehead: "You only know now!"
Song Niannian refused, and snuggled into her arms and refused to come out: "I don't care, I don't care, I can't come back often in the future, mother and father have to go to the city to see me, otherwise I, I will miss home and cry to offend the master."
If I get bored, Master will most likely send me back!"
Zhang Chunlan's eyes were soft and she promised: "Okay, okay, as long as there is not much work at home, your father and I will visit you once a month and try not to let you be kicked back by the master."
Song Niannian was satisfied and grinned sillyly.
Soon, other members of the Song family also learned that Song Niannian had an embroidery master as his apprentice, and they all felt happy for Song Niannian.
Zhang Xiaomei was generous again and gave Song Niannian 2 taels of silver for self-defense, and gave Zhang Chunlan 10 taels of silver for the couple to use to buy apprenticeship gifts.
In short, the three girls in the family have a good future, and the happiest ones are the elders.
That night, Niu Dahan and Zhu Sanyu moved into Song Cai and Niu Hua's room. This was the only room in the Song family that was temporarily vacant.
After the Song family's ancestral hall is repaired, a piece of land will be chosen to build a house for the old couple. As long as it doesn't rain continuously, it can be built and moved in in a month and a half at most.
At noon the next day, Song Cainiu Hua'er, who went to Fucheng to express his gratitude to Jiang Yi, came back. Unexpectedly, he also brought back a big yellow dog - Da Zhuang.
The moment he smelled Da Zhuang's breath from afar, Erbai Wu crawled under the bed like crazy, but Da Zhuang simply and roughly bit his plump hind legs and pulled him out from under the bed.
If Song Xixi hadn't arrived in time, Erbaiwu would have performed a head-to-head fight on the spot and defended his innocence to the death.
However, this guy obviously overreacted. Da Zhuang just wanted to play with it, and had no intention of attacking him forcefully.
Seeing that Erbai51 was so frightened when he saw it, Da Zhuang was a little at a loss. Finally, he turned around and ran out of the room to harm the yard, harming the pair of powerful white geese and the pole bench that looked easy to bully.
