The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Chapter 232 A gift from the elders that cannot be declined

Xu Qingye got up, put on his clothes, and opened the door.

Jiang came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of porridge. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "Qingye, you're up. Breakfast is ready. Hurry up and wash your face and come eat."

"it is good."

Xu Qingye responded and went to the kitchen to get some water to wash his face.

At this moment, Zhang's voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "I was afraid I was too late, fortunately Qingye and Tang'er haven't left yet."

Jiang put down the bowl, hurried out of the main room and walked towards Zhang.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here so early in the morning? Have you had breakfast? Our breakfast has just been served. Do you want to eat something together?"

"I won't eat. Zhen'er is cooking at home." Zhang came forward and handed the basket to Jiang. "We've saved up 20 or 30 eggs recently. I thought Qingye was going to the county town to study, so I asked him to bring some to eat."

Jiang pretended to decline, "Sister-in-law, this is too polite."

Zhang smiled and pressed the basket into her hands. "Our family still depends on him. Now that the eggs have been delivered, I will go back."

"Sister-in-law, take care."

After Zhang left, the family started to eat breakfast, which was rice porridge and egg pancakes.

Mix eggs and flour into a batter, sprinkle with salt and chopped green onions, and the pancakes will be fragrant and soft.

Xu Wencheng has a big appetite, and Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang are about to go on a long trip. In order to ensure that the children have enough to eat, Jiang specially permed three or four more sheets today.

The family was having dinner when the gate was knocked again.

"Second son's wife, Qingye hasn't left yet, right?" It was Mrs. Hu's voice.

Hearing the sound, Jiang quickly stuffed the pancake in her hand into her mouth, got up and opened the gate.

"Mom and Dad, Qingye is still eating in the house, come in quickly."

After she finished speaking, she wiped her hands on her apron and walked into the yard holding Hu's arm.

Xu Qingye stood up and said, "Grandpa and grandma are here."

Mrs. Hu smiled at her eldest grandson and quickly asked him to sit down. She said lovingly, "Eat your food. Grandma and I thought you were going on a long journey and we didn't know how long we would see you again, so we came to check on you."

"Have Mom and Dad eaten?" Xu Yongwang asked.

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "We ate here."

"Have another pancake." Xu Yongwang looked at Xu Wencheng, "Wencheng, give two pancakes to grandpa and grandma."

"Hey."

Xu Wencheng moved swiftly, picked up the basin from the table and walked towards Xu Yuande and Hu.

Mrs. Hu waved her hands hurriedly.

"No, no, don't let that happen. You won't have enough to eat for yourselves. We can go back and make it when we need it later."

Jiang smiled and took two pancakes and handed them to them, "Dad and Mom, just have one. I specially heated up a few more this morning. If Dad and Mom didn't come, they would have left over."

She came to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks again and started eating the porridge in the bowl.

Xu Yuande looked at Xu Qingye.

"When you go to the county town, you must first have enough food and clothes. Although Grandpa hopes that you can succeed in the future, he also hopes that you can have a good body."

Xu Qingye nodded, "I know."

Xu Yuande looked at Song Yuntang again and said, "Qingye wife, since you are going to the county with him, please try your best to arrange his life before returning. This child used to study so hard that he didn't even have time to eat."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his lapel.

"Grandpa and grandma are old and can't earn much money now. They only saved some money when they were young. Take these ten taels and find a small restaurant. Have them send some simple meals to Qingye every day. It should be enough to support them for a month or two."

Xu Yongwang and Jiang quickly stood up, wanting Song Yuntang to refuse.

But Song Yuntang had no intention of accepting the old man's money. It was not easy for old people to make a living. For farmers, even if they worked hard when they were young, they could not save much money in the end. What's more, they had to give some to their children when the family was divided.

I'm afraid these ten taels were squeezed out from between my teeth.

"Even if Grandpa didn't tell me, I would definitely arrange it for him. I can't accept this money."

Xu Yuande said seriously, "It is a gift from an elder, and I cannot refuse it. Just take it if you are asked to. Qingye has picked up the book again and is studying. There will be a lot of expenses in the future."

After all, he used to be a village head, and he had only been out of office for a couple of years. When he became serious, he was quite dignified.

Song Yuntang couldn't resist and looked in the direction of Xu Yongwang and Jiang as if asking for help.

Jiang looked in the direction of Xu Yongwang, then turned to look at Song Yuntang, "Since it was given by your grandparents, just keep it and show your filial respect to them in the future."

Xu Yuande placed the silver in Song Yuntang's hand and waved his hand, saying, "You don't need to be filial. Your mother and I will take care of ourselves and try not to burden you. It's enough for you to live your own life."

Song Yuntang thought about it and decided that he couldn't just take the old man's money for nothing, so he went back to his room and found the remaining Angong Niuhuang Pill and two Yangxue Pills from the medicine box.

"This is Angong Niuhuang Pills for Grandpa. The other two Yangxue Pills are for Grandma. If it works well for you, we can take one pill every two weeks. Your Qi and blood will be replenished, and your body may feel much more relaxed."

She had taken Hu's pulse and prescribed medicine. After taking it for a while, she felt that the medicine was bitter and had no taste in her mouth, so she stopped taking it.

She said she knew her own body and that she was old now, and that life and death were determined by fate, so she didn't want to waste the money.

The old lady saw things clearly, and her children had no objections. As the granddaughter-in-law, she naturally couldn't say anything more.

Now that the old couple are willing to consider them, she naturally also wants them to have an easier life.

When Mrs. Hu heard that it didn't need to be taken daily, she didn't refuse. She just asked, "Isn't this thing cheap?"

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "I made it myself. It's not something very expensive."

Only then did Mrs. Hu carefully put the thing into her sleeve pocket.

After Xu Qingye finished his meal, he went to the cowshed to lead the mule out and harnessed it to the mule cart.

Song Yuntang took his boxes and also carried his own medicine box, just in case he needed it when he went to the county town.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Xu Wencheng stepped forward and took the box from Song Yuntang's hand.

"Sister-in-law, I'll get it for you."

After Xu Qingye stuffed the boxes and medicine boxes into the mule cart, he looked at the elders behind him.

"Mom, Dad, Grandma, we are leaving. Take care."

Before they left, Mrs. Hu wiped her eyes and said, "You too, must take care of yourself and don't stay up too late at night. It's getting colder now, and I don't know if the bed in the county town will be as warm as the earthen kang your father built for you. If you're cold, don't force yourself. It's the same when you come back to study. There's no rush."

Xu Qingye nodded.

"it is good."

Jiang was not that sad at first, but after hearing Hu's advice, she couldn't help but tear up.

Xu Yuande spoke.

"Let's go quickly, go early and make arrangements early, and be careful on the road."

Xu Qingye responded, helped Song Yuntang onto the mule cart, and then headed towards the village entrance.
