Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 141 Return to the Village 2

When Song Sanniang returned home, her little dog ran up to greet her. The little dog had grown a lot. It used to be the size of a kitten.

Now it is half the height of Song Sanniang's calf. It can be seen that it is well fed. Although its fur is not smooth and shiny, you can see the plump flesh and bones under the fur.

Song Sanniang squatted down and touched it, then took out a meat bun left over from today's meal and gave it to it.

It grabbed the bun in one mouthful, and shook its tail like a windmill with joy. Song Sanniang couldn't help but smile.

She walked into the yard. It was still the same as before. The house was also cleaned up without any dust.

She ran to the backyard and saw that some vegetables had already been picked and given to the young men who were building the house.

The chicks all grew up into big chickens. When they saw Song Sanniang coming in, some of them were startled and flapped their wings. Song Sanniang saw an egg hidden under a hen.

Ha, the chickens started laying eggs. Song Sanniang thought, although she wanted to pick up the eggs, she was afraid of being pecked by the chickens, so she wanted to go back and get the tools.

She entered the kitchen and found a bamboo basket filled with half a basket of eggs. It seemed that Song Mei had picked them up these days, so she put the eggs here.

Song Sanniang gave up the idea of ​​picking up eggs, so she boiled water and planned to cook the eggs. She had to try the eggs laid by her own chickens, otherwise she would have no chance to eat them.

She planned to let Song Mei's family eat the eggs she picked up. If she didn't want to take them, she would divide them into two parts, one to her maternal grandmother's house and the other to Mrs. Song's house.

There are six or seven hens at home. We can pick up a few eggs every day, which means dozens of eggs in a week. We can only get a few dozen cents from selling them, which is not worth it. It is better to let everyone eat them.

While Song Sanniang was cooking eggs, Song Laoer went to the new house to find Song Laoda. When he arrived at the new house, it had changed a lot. He was very happy and felt that he was more successful than his father because he could build such a house in his life.

There are not as many people working in the new house as at the beginning. Now there are only a few people left doing the finishing work. Seeing Song Laoer coming, everyone greeted him. Song Laoer also greeted everyone for a while before pulling Song Laoda aside to discuss business.

"Brother, the house has been built. I came here to ask you to do some work. I also opened a dessert shop in the county town. I asked Dong Ge'er to help in the shop.

We have also invited Da Zhuang's family, and Brother Niu and his wife. You will be the second in command. When the store is running smoothly, you will take over the management. I will transfer Dong Ge'er back to the capital.

Now, if you are the second shopkeeper, you will get one and a half taels a month, and you will have four days off every month.

There are two rooms in the store. If any of you want to stay in the store, you can stay there.

If you don't want to, that's okay. We've chartered Dazhi's car and will take you back and forth to the village every morning and evening.

When you become the head shopkeeper, your monthly salary will be 10% of the store's revenue, and at the end of the year, there will be a bonus. What do you think?"

Boss Song listened to his brother finish his words and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, kid, you are getting more and more eloquent. You used to be a dull person, but now you are different as a boss.

I know you are taking care of me as your elder brother. I don't have any ideas. I will go wherever you tell me to go.

But I don’t want to live in the store, I feel comfortable living in the village, and if I leave, there will only be three of us left at home, and I’m worried.”

Song Lao Er nodded when he heard this, "It's up to you." Then he asked his two nephews, "How are Da Lang and Er Lang? Do you have enough money? Should I send them some money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone?"

When Song Laoda heard his brother mention his two sons, he smiled and said, "They are doing well. I sent them money not long ago. They wrote back saying that Erlang got the third place in the school exam some time ago.

Although Dalang's grades are not as good as his younger brother's, he is still in the top ten in the class, so we don't have to worry about him."

Song Lao Er was also happy to hear this. Suddenly he remembered something and said hesitantly, "Do they know about my sister-in-law?"

Boss Song was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Not yet. I didn't tell them because I was afraid it would affect their studies. I'll tell them in person when they come back after the Chinese New Year."

Song Lao Er nodded, and Song Lao Da patted his shoulder again, "It's okay, they won't blame you. They are all educated people, so they should understand things. If they dare to complain about you, I will kick them out of the house."

Song Lao Er hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother, please don't mess around."

Boss Song said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Your house is almost ready. When do you plan to move in and hold the wedding?"

"The furniture is not ready yet. We have to wait until it is ready before moving." Song Lao Er replied.

"Okay, tell me when you're moving and I'll help you move." Boss Song said again.

The two brothers talked for a while, and Song Lao Er hurried back home as he had to hurry back to the city.

"Dad, the chickens at home have laid eggs. Come and try some." Song Sanniang was eating eggs when she saw Song Laoer coming in and called out.

Song Lao Er smiled and walked over to pick up the egg, cracked it open and tasted it. In fact, chickens nowadays don't eat feed or medicine, which are products of modern processing, so they are very delicious.

But Song Sanniang still felt that the eggs laid by her own chickens tasted better than those sold at the store. When she told Song Laoer about this, he nodded in agreement.

"It's indeed better than what you buy outside. I'll bring these back for your mother and sister to taste."

Song Sanniang nodded when she heard this, and told him about the family's plan to collect eggs in the future. Song Laoer had no objection to these trivial matters.

So Song Sanniang ran to tell Song Mei about this. As Song Sanniang expected, Song Mei of course refused to eat it herself, so she agreed to send the ones picked up in the first half of the month to Uncle Song's house, and the ones picked up in the second half of the month to Grandpa Liu's house.

After Song Laoer and his daughter finished their business, they rushed back to the county town. Song Laoer and Xu Shui had dinner together. It was not appropriate for Song Sanniang to be present at this scene, so she had dinner by herself and waited for Song Laoer in the store.

Song Lao Er did not delay any longer. When it was dark, the father and daughter caught the last boat to the provincial capital and returned to the provincial capital.
