Chapter 254 Daily life
When the couple entered the backyard, Song Xiaodi shouted that he wanted to see what was in the boxes, so He Pingdu opened the three boxes.
Each box was lined with a fine satin handkerchief, and contained half a box of round, white pearls of the same size.
In one box was a set of exquisite gold headpieces inlaid with red tourmalines, and in the last box was a pair of jade bracelets as green as lake water.
Song Sanniang felt that these three gifts were too valuable, and were almost as valuable as the dowry of a young lady from an aristocratic family. She looked at He Pingdu with a questioning look.
He Pingdu smiled and said, "Just a little thing, just accept it."
Song Xiaodi was not interested in the head ornaments and bracelets. He was playing with the pearls as if they were sand, and even wanted to take them out and play with them.
Song Sanniang quickly stopped him. This kid was really wasting resources. She carefully told the kid how valuable the beads he was playing with were.
He stuck out his tongue and apologized to Song Sanniang. Song Sanniang touched his head and thought he was well behaved.
In the evening, He Pingdu stayed at Tian Mi Mi for dinner, but everyone in the restaurant did not eat together. They all took their own time to go to the kitchen to get food and then find a place to eat.
Song Sanniang and He Pingdu also picked up some food and ate at the counter. After all, they didn't dare to show their affection openly.
They had to secretly pass food to each other. They ate with relish and then discussed what to prepare for the picnic the next day.
He Pingdu asked him to prepare most of the things, so Song Sanniang let him do it.
The one who was happier than the other two was little brother Song. He jumped three feet high and said, "Great, great, let's go play tomorrow!"
Song Sanniang asked Si Niang and Niu Qianqian, and their brother and sister. Everyone wanted to go.
We will pick up Master Hu tomorrow, and then the team that will go the next day will be complete.
Originally, Song Sanniang wanted to invite Song Laoer and his wife to go, but the two of them waved their hands and refused, not wanting to join in the fun, so Song Sanniang had to give up.
After sending He Pingdu away, Song Ersao seized the opportunity to pull Song Sanniang into the room. Song Laoer was already waiting in the room. The two of them stared at Song Sanniang.
Song Sanniang was a little embarrassed and asked, "Why are you two looking at me like that?"
Mrs. Song seemed to be gossiping when she asked, "We all heard what the old man who came from the He family said today. What did he mean? And what's going on between you and the third master?"
Song Sanniang felt as if her parents had discovered her premature love and were interrogated together.
She could only say simply, "The Third Master has a crush on me, and I have a crush on him too. We plan to spend some time together, and if it's a good fit, we'll get married."
Although Mrs. Song knew what was going on, she was still stunned when she heard it from her daughter.
After all, he was the third master of the He family, the rich son-in-law that many people dreamed of. It was not that she felt her daughter was not good, but her family background was really not a match for him.
Not to mention the wealthy families, even ordinary farmers would pay attention to matching when getting married, not to mention the He family.
Song Lao Er was cheerful and didn't think it was a big deal. "The Third Master is not bad either. He is good-looking and has a good personality. I think he is a good match for both Third Lady and this girl. I think this marriage is a good one."
Song Ersao twisted Song Laoer's arm, causing him to gasp in pain. "It hurts, it hurts, wife, I was wrong, please stop twisting it."
Song Ersao then let go of her hand and said worriedly, "The He family is a big family with a lot of wealth. What if those people in their family look down on our Sanniang? Have you ever thought about it?
Moreover, these big families love to take concubines, and they often have illegitimate sons and daughters, and even if you marry into the family, you may not be free.
When the time comes, we may not even be able to go see Sanniang, and you, as a father, still say it's okay, you are really obsessed."
Song Lao Er didn't think much about it at the time, but after hearing what Song Ersao said, he felt that it was right.
He hesitated and said, "Then it's better not to get married."
Song Sanniang was relaxed. She smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. You all heard what the old housekeeper said. The old man in the He Mansion is starting to think highly of me.
Besides, I have a very good relationship with the eldest wife of the He family. I am not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied."
Song Ersao sighed, then suddenly she perked up again, patted Song Laoer,
"We should prepare a dowry for Sanniang. The little we prepared before would be embarrassing if she married into the He family."
Song Sanniang didn't expect that her mother thought so far ahead. She smiled and thought it would be good for the couple to have something to do so that they wouldn't have too many thoughts.
The next day, He Pingdu came early again. Song Sanniang was still in the kitchen preparing snacks for her. He ran to the kitchen to help her.
Song Sanniang was not polite, so she gave him orders. Song Xiaodi was also in the kitchen. He was very proud and was helping Song Sanniang with some odd jobs.
Seeing He Pingdu, he said proudly, "Brother, why did you come just now? I have helped my sister do a lot of work, and my sister praised me for being so capable."
He Pingdu couldn't help but laugh at Song's childish talk. He patted his little head and said, "You are really amazing."
When Song Xiaodi heard this, he raised his head to the sky again and said, "That's right, that's right."
His appearance made He Pingdu laugh again. There were other cooks in the kitchen who were busy with their own work. After teasing Song Xiaodi, He Pingdu continued to help Song Sanniang.
The most comfortable one among them was Xiao Jinzi. He had become familiar with the cooks after running around Tian Mi Mi for the past two days. He greeted the aunt and chatted with her as soon as he entered the kitchen.
Soon his mouth was full, and he was holding some food in his hands, looking very busy.
He Pingdu didn't know why, but he felt very annoyed to see him like this, so he called Xiao Jinzi to come over to him, and he said with a half-smile, "Okay, I'll let you come and eat and drink for free?"
Xiao Jinzi quickly finished the food in her mouth, "It's unfair, Master. I'm just popular. The aunts gave me food because they saw that I was likable. I can't refuse their kindness."
He Pingdu knocked him on the head and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Go to Mr. Hu and bring him to the store. We will set off together later."
Xiao Jinzi smiled and said, "It's easy. I'll go there right away." After that, he ran away happily.
Song Sanniang was busy with her work and said, "I told you that you bullied Xiao Jinzi."
He Pingdu clicked his tongue twice and said, "This kid has been feeling itchy lately. He can't be spoiled." He would never admit that he disliked Xiao Jinzi because she spoke up for him.
