Reborn Big Brother: Farming Daily Life

Chapter 58 Song Jingtian is gone
Shen Qingning watched Li Shi come out of the house with a box in her arms, with a very reluctant look, not feeling it was funny.

It turns out that the family needs such a beautiful wooden box to hold silver, a few taels of silver and a few copper plates, and Mrs. Li can do it with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Li opened the wooden box, and on the lower floor was the family's land deed and house deed, and there were dozens of taels of silver on the top.

"Building this yard and knocking out those pieces of furniture, the family's money was almost spent at that time. Alas, I said at the time, don't knock down so much furniture, you child wants new everything!"

...............

Shen Qingning felt that she was so innocent. When the furniture was finished, her mother was reluctant to let go, and couldn't stop praising her.Are you starting to feel bad for silver now?

Shen Guan reminded his mother, "Mother, let's talk about the business first, this furniture will be made sooner or later."

Shen Qingning took out the silver and counted it, "39 taels."

The siblings looked at each other more than they thought.

Shen Guan said, "This yard is not as complicated as ours. It's all simple. More than 20 taels should be enough, right?"

Mrs. Li is still reluctant, "It's not that we can't make bean curd sticks at home now. What do you spend more than 20 taels for such a yard? You can buy two or three acres of land."

"Sooner or later, it will be easier to do it sooner."

"You allow me and your father to think about it again, you two are really getting bigger and bigger, resting at home for a day will cost your mother more than 20 taels!"

Three days later, Shen Dahe took Shen Guan to find Lizheng again.

Ever since Shen Qingning and Shen Guan talked about building a workshop-like yard, Shen Dahe didn't sleep well for two consecutive days. From the initial rejection to the slow heartbeat, he was shaken!

In the end, I went to the old Shentou and Jiang to discuss it, and the old couple felt good.

He turned around to persuade Mrs. Li, and finally got Mrs. Li to give him the money, "You are an old man, and you are listening to your son!"

"Hey, what my son said is reasonable, it's not like I can't listen."

When the father and son arrived at Li Zheng's house and explained their intentions, Li Zheng was really shocked, "What? You're going to build a house again!"

"This time I didn't build a house. The main reason is that the kitchen at home is too small. It is inconvenient to make bean curd sticks. There is not enough place to dry them, so we need to build a yard."

"Dahe, you are a real person and you don't show your face. It's been less than a year since you separated, and you're already well-off!"

"Brother Zhao San was joking, he just wants to earn hard money."

Shen Dahe's life is getting better and better, and Lizheng is more willing to have a good relationship with him, "Well, I will accompany you to the county government office tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm bothering third brother again. Tomorrow night, I'll ask Guan Erniang to cook some dishes, and we two brothers will have a good drink."

Shen Guan also extended an invitation to Zhao Wenhao who was on the side, "Wen Hao, you come too."

"Okay, I'll go directly to your house after school tomorrow."

Li Zheng looked at the two with satisfied faces, "In our village, these two brothers are the only ones who study well."

Shen Dahe also laughed, "At that time, we will come back from the examination together as a scholar."

"Hahahaha, let's take another exam together!"

Just like two proud old fathers.

Early the next morning, Shen Qingning and Li Shi drove the donkey cart to set up a stall.

Shen Dahe drove the carriage and took Li Zheng to the county to complete the formalities, then turned around and started buying materials for the new yard.

Every family is idle in winter, and it is easy to find helpers. He thinks about starting work as soon as possible, so that the new workshop can be used after the new year.

In the twelfth lunar month, many people will come to the county to buy new year's goods, and the business on the stalls is not good. These days, nearly a hundred bowls of three barrels of noodles can be sold out every day.

Ever since the first guest came, Shen Qingning never took a breath.His hands were busy and he was still muttering that he would bring Qingxiu over tomorrow.

"Sister-in-law, have a bowl of rice noodles, it's still the same."

Mrs. Li looked up, "It's Mr. Zhu, I haven't been here for a long time."

"Well, I'm busy at home."

Zhu San's face was a little cold today, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, so Li Shi didn't talk, and cooked a bowl of noodles and brought them over.

At this moment, a man asked for a bowl of fatty sausage powder. Shen Qingning scooped him a spoonful of fatty sausage and was about to pick up the bowl when the man shouted, "Oh, order more food."

Shen Qingning smiled and added some vegetable soup and a little sausage to pour over it.

Who would have thought that the man would let her scoop it up, "Oh, let me tell you what's wrong with you girl, I want you to order more food."

The tone was very bad, just as Shen Qingning was about to speak, Zhu San slapped the chopsticks on the table.

"How about I stuff that whole pot of vegetables in your mouth?"

Seeing that he was wearing the clothes of a yamen servant, the man wanted to retort but held back, Shen Qingning had already brought the powder over for him.

Here, Zhu San quickly finished eating the noodles, took out a few dollars and put them on the table, walked a few steps and then turned back to look for Shen Qingning.

"Miss Shen, have you seen Sedum recently?"

Shen Qingning looked confused, "Didn't he go back to the capital?"

Zhu San's face became even colder, "My aunt is gone, and so is he."

It took Shen Qingning a while to realize that what Zhu San said was gone, that someone died, Song Jingtian's mother died, so Song Jingtian ran away from home?
"I haven't seen him. If I see him, I will tell you."

Zhu San nodded, "He has nowhere to go except Jiping, but if he returns to Jiping, he should have arrived long ago. He said you are his friend, and he never said that other people are friends in Jiping. If he came to you, you You must go to the Yamen to find me, the family is afraid that he will be stubborn and refuse to show up."

Shen Qingning nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, I will."

"Thank you." After Zhu San finished speaking, he turned to the direction outside the city, wondering if he was looking for Song Jingtian.

Shen Qingning sighed in her heart. Last time Song Jingtian said that her mother came to Jiping to recover from her illness, and after a while, she heard him say that she was going back to the capital.

After a while, his mother actually left.

He is only one year older than Shen Guan, alas~ motherless child is so pitiful!

Mrs. Li took the opportunity to ask, and heard that the child's mother was gone, so she ran out of the house, and she also expressed emotion.

This woman, you really have to take care of yourself, just in case something happens, just like what Qingning said, a man will marry a stepmother and come in and rub your child with your money.

After closing the stall, the mother and daughter started shopping. Tonight, the family invited guests and bought some wine and meat.

"Mother, there is a lotus root seller here, why don't you buy some bones and make lotus root bone soup?"

"What's it like to buy bones and treat guests?"

"Buying bones won't stop you from cooking other dishes. It's so comfortable to drink soup in this cold weather."

Mrs. Li looked at the bone with little meat, "If you want to drink soup, then make broth."

People here also eat bone soup, but most of them still think that the soup stewed with pork belly is more oily and watery.Shen Qingning also likes to eat this broth, but since the family often eats meat, she started to get tired of it.

"The broth is too greasy, but the bone lotus root soup is better."

Mrs. Li was helpless, "You are the only one with five children in the family, and now you don't even like meat."

After all, Li also bought a few bones.

"Your uncle is coming tonight, this bone will definitely be picked by him."

"What? You still invite uncle to dinner?!"

　Three requests for politeness: ask for subscription + ask for monthly pass + ask for five-star praise!
