husband and wife

Chapter 58

Su Wan's attention is now on the wine, and she has to unseal and press the cap two or three times a day, that is, use a stick to press down the floating peel.

Father Song, who went out early and returned home every day to help outside, did exactly what Song Xiaomei said, and didn't notice that there were a lot less grapes on the grape trellis.Going to someone else's house to help build a house is much more tiring than when I was busy with farming. Although the weather is not so hot now, I am exposed to the sun all day long, and I don't have much rest at noon. I have to go to bed after eating and sitting for a while. In a few days, everyone has a lot of tan, which is really comparable to Africans.

At night, the Song family sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. Mother Song looked at the moon and said, "It will be Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and Ziheng should be back."

"At that time we were still helping in the town." Li Shi said, she was also exhausted these days, and she no longer had the energy to find fault with Su Wan.

But Song Xiaomei said: "When the third brother comes home, I know that you went to the town to help work after two days of rest, so I can't help but get angry again."

Father Song said in a deep voice, "Ziheng will take the college exam next year. If he passes, he will have to go to Beijing to catch the exam the next year. The travel expenses and accommodation expenses to Beijing will not cost money?"

Su Wan felt that it was time for her to make a statement. Even if the Song family refused to ask for it, with Papa Su's character as a businessman, it was absolutely impossible for her to sit idly by. But just as she was about to say something, a strange voice outside the courtyard shouted: " Rooted girl!"

Song's mother hurriedly replied: "I'm in the courtyard, come in."

Su Wan saw a strange aunt walking in, and went straight to Song's mother: "Mother Yougen, you are back."

"It's just a breather."

"It's not easy for this rich man to earn money. He's tired and hot. He drank too much water and went to the latrine twice more, and he would be grabbed by the steward."

"That's right, it's not easy to make money." Mother Song sighed, and said, "Dong Shengniang, what do you want me to do?"

"Isn't my daughter-in-law's brother running the restaurant in the county? Today he delivered something and sent a letter to your family Ziheng. My daughter-in-law is at home with a few children, and she can't leave. I only asked me to deliver it when I came back." " Dong Shengniang said, took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to Mother Song.

"A letter written?" Song's mother took a look, a little strange, her son has always asked someone to take a message, and only the village head can read a few words in the village, "I have to ask the village head to read it for me..."

"What's the point of hiring a village chief? Isn't Ziheng's wife able to read and write? This letter was specially sent by Ziheng to his wife." Dong Shengniang said, looking at Su Wan with a pair of smiling eyes, full of praise, "Your daughter-in-law is amazing. She looks like a fairy, beautiful and majestic. In their words, she is a lady of everyone, and she can even recognize words!"

Immediately, everyone in the yard looked at Su Wan, and Dong Shengniang hurriedly asked, "Don't you all know how dare you?"

Su Wan hurriedly explained: "It was my parents who heard people say that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, so she was afraid that her parents-in-law would not like it, so they didn't let me talk about it. Besides, they are all married, so it's important to serve the elders, whether they can read or not what is the relationship."

"My in-laws are too careful. Knowing characters is a great thing. It's too late for us to be happy, so how can we not be happy?" Mother Song said angrily.

Song Xiaomei also said: "Third brother still wanted to teach me to read, but unfortunately I was stupid and couldn't learn it. My sister-in-law can learn it, which shows that I am smart. In the future, when I have a little nephew, if third brother is busy, sister-in-law can also help me. He taught a thing or two."

When Mother Song heard this, she gave Su Wan a softer look: "Little sister said yes." It is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and their family's mud legs gave birth to Ziheng, who was born to read. I'm afraid it will delay He, now that Ziheng and his wife are both literate and knowledgeable, the children born in the future will not be afraid of delays. In the past, asking Ziheng to marry this daughter-in-law was just a way of repaying his kindness, but now thinking about it, it is a benefit for their family. Daughter, it's not cheap for them.

Dong Shengniang smiled for a while, and then said, "Although I wrote a letter to Ziheng's wife, I also asked my daughter-in-law and her brother to bring a few words. First, the Academy has a two-day holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he guessed I can't come back. Any gatherings in Jiangzhou City are attended by scholars, and the master has to take Ziheng there. Second, Ziheng said that the busy farming is over. If there is nothing else, let his wife teach the eldest son on weekdays The second child can read and write, and his daughter-in-law reads a lot of books, so it is enough to teach this."

Except for the three named parties, everyone in the Song family laughed, especially Song Yougen and his wife. In this era, the concept of hierarchy is very strict. Reading is almost the way out for all poor families. The court and the people also value scholars. Now Song Ziheng is not at home. , and can also tell Su Wan to teach the elder and second children to read and write. Presumably, they also intend to train the two brothers. Song Yougen and his wife helped their parents to support the brothers to go to school without any complaints. Son one.
