Chapter 40
"Little niece, I will buy you a hair flower later!"

Song Haitao did not ask Song Hailong if he agreed, but patted his chest and promised.

Song Hailong first went to redeem Xu Tiansheng's jade pendant. Because it only took a few days, he only paid out an extra dozen copper coins.

After that, a few people actually went to the market. Song Jinyue originally thought that after experiencing famine and war, the market must be in a depression, but she did not expect that under such circumstances, many people would still stand out.

Of course, it can't compare with the prosperous times, but it can still meet the needs of a few people.

A few people went to the porridge shop first, and each of them ordered a bowl of rice porridge to satisfy their stomachs. They spent a total of nine pennies. The price can be said to be very expensive, after all, the price of food is there.

However, they had money now, so they drank a few bowls of rice porridge.

Then Song Haitao took Song Jinyue and couldn't wait to go to the pastry stall and chose some affordable pastries.

He also took Song Jinyue to buy some beautiful hairpins, some fabrics to make clothes for the whole family, and also bought some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice noodles and candies.

Seeing Song Haitao's enthusiasm for spending money, Song Jinyue didn't doubt that if she gave him the 50 taels of silver, he would probably spend it all in one day.

Song Hailong didn't say anything to him. He followed them and was only responsible for paying.

"That's almost it, uncle!"

Song Jinyue was not worried about money. She was afraid that she would not be able to put it down after buying too much, and would have to put firewood to hide it from others when she got home!
After Song Jinyue's persuasion, Song Haitao finally stopped. After all, he spent almost ten taels of silver on this effort. Song Jinyue said in her heart that if she was born in modern times, this would be a proper Moonlight Clan.

In fact, most of what Song Haitao bought was food. Thinking carefully about it, one pound of rice for five days per person is indeed not enough.

Now that the tiger is gone, everyone dares to dig some food at the foot of the mountain, but life is always difficult, and everyone is hungry and full.

Thinking of this, Song Hailong didn't blame him too much.

After visiting the market, a few people pushed a flat cart home. They passed by a small forest outside the county town, cut down some trees and put some weeds on top, and then quickly walked home.

By this time, most of the people had finished eating, and they all went out together to cut down some trees.

Song Jinyue and others pushed the cart back and attracted the attention of many people.

"It's better to have a car. This time I won't be busy for a few days!"

A man with a pockmarked face came up to him, stared at the flat car, and said flatteringly, "Xiaolong, if you still need this car later, can you lend it to me?"

"But the Niu family has already said hello before, why don't you wait until tomorrow!"

The Niu family Song Hailong was talking about was the family he met when he went out. They are not in the team now.

In fact, it was not impossible to agree directly, but Song Hailong was worried that he would follow him home, and then he would not be able to hide the contents of the car.

"That's it, tomorrow is tomorrow!"

The pockmarked man was surprised when he heard that Song Hailong agreed to lend him his car, but he was also really happy.

Song Hailong pushed a cart of wood back home, and Mrs. Song greeted him.

Several sacks of items were pulled from the flat car, and then the family covered up and carried the items into the house.

The house was empty, except for a few makeshift straw mats for sleeping, and there wasn't even a place to hide things, which was a problem.

This family does have a cellar where they can store some potatoes and sweet potatoes. Most of the food they bought was cheap potatoes, which cost ten cents per catty, and they bought about two hundred catties.

Song Haitao was a ruthless man. He wanted to spend all his money to buy grain so that he would not be hungry if there was another famine in the future.

But he felt that other people would not agree with him if he did this, so he temporarily suppressed the idea and thought that he still had to find a way to make more money and see if he could move to the county town in the future.

He has inquired about the houses in the county. The place is not big, and the house is quite expensive, costing 100 taels. Now he can only put this idea aside for the time being.

"Just put other things in your mother's house first. Just don't open the door easily when outsiders come!"

After a lot of work, everything that should be hidden has been hidden. Of course, the delicious food cannot be eaten now. Who knows who will come to visit in broad daylight.Mrs. Song said: "I also left some porridge for you, why don't you drink some?"

"Of course I want to drink!"

Song Haitao had a grimace on his face. A bowl of rice porridge didn't have much in it, so he wasn't hungry at all.

While several people were having dinner, the Niu family came to borrow a car, and it was Niu Dawei who came.

Song Hailong heard the footsteps and went to greet him before he entered the room.

"Oh, Xiaolong, I'm here to borrow a car!"

"Uncle Niu, we're here. The firewood has been unloaded. Just take it and use it!"

Niu Dawei didn't think much, thanked him, and left with the cart.

Niu Dawei walked away, and several more companies came one after another, all of them borrowing cars, which made the Song family very annoyed.

After sending these people away, Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's discuss how to cook this piece of wild boar!"

Mrs. Song wanted to stew it directly. She was worried that the smell would be too great and would attract bad people. The most worried people were the refugees.

At least the people in the same village knew that when these refugees were on the road, some people secretly cut up the corpses of robbers and roasted them to eat. If possible, Mrs. Song even wanted to change her place to live.

"Let's make dumplings, my uncle just bought flour!"

Song Jinyue believes that making dumplings can minimize the impact. The meat fillings are cut raw and then wrapped directly in the dough. Once cooked in the pot, the aroma will be appreciated only when you eat it, and the taste will not be spread out.

"Okay, I'll just listen to you, girl, let's make dumplings tonight!"

Mrs. Song said with a smile.

Meat stuffed dumplings, I think the last time the whole family would eat them was a few days before Song Haishan’s separation!That is to say, Haitao ate a few more dumplings at that time, and Yun Niang lost her temper, and the family was divided.

At this moment, Song Haitao's expression changed a little when he heard the word "making dumplings". This was his heartache.

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?"

Song Jinyue waved her hand in front of his eyes, and Song Haitao suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at Song Jinyue with a bright smile, he thought of her as his sister-in-law, and a sense of grievance suddenly surged into his heart.

"I'm thinking about eating dumplings!"

Song Haitao quickly adjusted his mood and smiled mischievously at Song Jinyue.

How could Song Haishan not know what Song Haitao was thinking. In the final analysis, this matter was because his wife was too arrogant, and he couldn't even do the most basic coordination at the time, so he was really useless!
"Haitao, it's my eldest brother's fault. From now on, our family will be fine!"

Song Haishan said with an apologetic look.

"What's wrong with big brother? Big brother will always be big brother!"

Song Haitao smiled, as if he had left the troubles just now behind him.

Song Hailong thought of that sister-in-law, and couldn't help but recall Shen Cui. The men of the Song family were really brothers who share the same fate, and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

Everyone's different moods stopped when Mrs. Song brought out the dough. Song Hailong hurried over to take the basin, and Song Haitao also went to bring the dumpling fillings.

There are many people in the family, except Han Ling and Song Jinnan, who both know how to make dumplings. Song Haishan also started to work, and in a short time, neat rows of dumplings were made.

The water in the kitchen has been boiled. I boiled a few dumplings and fished them out.

Looking at these crystal clear and steaming dumplings on the table, Song Jinnan took a deep breath, and some unknown liquid began to secrete from her mouth.
