Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 158 Two aunts are here too

Early in the morning, Song Laoer's family got up. Not long after they got up, Chen's grandmother, his aunt, Song Li's mother and a group of other women came to their house.

Some of them went to the kitchen and started working, kneading the flour, rolling the dough into long strips, and cutting it into small pieces. They were going to make salty glutinous rice balls.

The custom here is that the host family will cook salty dumplings for the relatives and friends who come to help with the wedding.

Some people also dragged Song Laoer and others to burn incense and worship their ancestors, burning paper money.

Offerings, such as candies, cakes, and fruits, must be placed on the altars of various door officials in the house, and incense and paper money must be burned to worship them.

Several elders took Song Sanniang and her two sisters and told them what to bring when they entered the house, because these things were particular and could not be taken carelessly.

After Song Laoer's family finished worshipping, an aunt brought firecrackers. Song Laoer lit the firecrackers and threw them at the door. The firecrackers started to explode with a crackling sound.

At this time, the dumplings in the kitchen were all ready. The aunts put them into bowls and took them outside. Whoever wanted to eat could take them. They also cooked noodles, and anyone who wanted to eat could also take some.

Here, Boss Song packed up and prepared to go to his brother's house. He saw Mrs. Song sitting on the chair with no intention of moving, so he asked,

"Mom, why are you still sitting here? Let's go to my second brother's house to help."

Mrs. Song was wearing new clothes bought for her by the second son of the Song family. She also wore the silver hairpin given by the eldest son of the Song family.

She looked at the reluctant Song Chunhua and the other person standing in the yard, then looked at Boss Song who was waiting for her, and said hesitantly, "Why don't you three go? I won't go."

Boss Song sighed, "It's been so long since the incident happened, I'm sure my second brother doesn't blame you anymore.

It's not right for you not to go with him when he moves. How do people see him, don't you think? "

Mrs. Song still felt a little uncomfortable. It was okay for her to face her youngest son.

But when she thought about her daughter-in-law Liu Xiwan and her three granddaughters, she didn't want to see them. Since they all arrived in the capital, they have never come again.

She couldn't explain why she felt uncomfortable, but when she thought about how everyone would look at her, she didn't want to go anymore.

Seeing that Mrs. Song didn't move, Mr. Song said, "Second sister and third sister will also come today. Don't you want to meet them?"

Mrs. Song was stunned when she heard this. Her two daughters had been at odds with her for a long time. She didn't expect that the eldest daughter would invite them as well.

She didn't really want to see them, but she couldn't tell the boss that she didn't want to see anyone, so she had no choice but to stand up dejectedly, "Okay, let's go."

Boss Song told the three careless people at home, "Don't talk nonsense when you get here. Just sit down if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, see if there is anything you need help with and help them."

Mrs. Song didn't say anything. Song Chunhua and Song Qiushi responded sullenly. The eldest brother of the Song family asked the three of them to hold the things they would need later, and then went to the second brother of the Song family's house.

Song Laoer's old house was bustling with people. Many people had come. Men, women, old and young gathered in the house. Song Laoer was entertaining the Feng Shui master who had helped him decide the date.

This Feng Shui master is famous in the neighborhood. He was invited to design the orientation of Song Laoer's new house. Soon, the Feng Shui master will lead Song Laoer and his family into the new house.

Seeing that Boss Song and Mrs. Song had come in, everyone made way for them. Boss Song and his companions came up to Boss Song.

Seeing that it was his mother, Song Lao Er stood up and gave her his seat, then said a few words to her. Song Ersao and the others were checking the things they would need later.

At this time, Second Aunt Song and Third Aunt Song also arrived. Actually, they were not married very far away, and it took them about an hour to get back to Songjia Village.

The Li family that Song Ergu married was a carpenter. They had three children: Li Tao, Li Qing, and Li Xian.

Song Sangu married better. Her husband's family had a small hilltop, and they made some money from the hilltop. They also had more than ten acres of land. Her husband's surname was Han. She gave birth to two sons, Han Changguang and Han Changming.

Song Ergu and Song Sangu are older than Song Laoer. Song Ergu's youngest son Li Xian and Song Sangu's youngest son Han Changming are about the same age as Song Sanniang, but still a little older than Song Sanniang.

So Song Sanniang still has these cousins, but Li Tao is already engaged, and Li Qing, Han Changguang, and Song Dalang are about the same age, and it is time for them to get engaged too.

In fact, when Boss Song notified his two sisters, he was not sure whether they would come, but fortunately, both of them sent someone to tell them to come.

At first, Second Aunt Song and Third Aunt Song did not know that their eldest brother and younger brother had separated the family property. But they found out after hearing from the person who passed the message on behalf of their eldest brother. So the two sisters made an appointment to come back together.

Second Aunt Song brought Li Qing and Li Xian with her. Third Aunt Song also brought two children with her. The two sisters were brought here by Third Aunt Song's husband Han Zhuang in a bullock cart. Second Aunt Song's husband had work to do, so he did not come.

The ox cart stopped in front of the bamboo courtyard of their childhood memories. The two sisters were filled with thoughts, recalling the childhood days they spent here. They looked at each other, suppressed their excitement, and entered the courtyard.

They had not been in contact with their parents for a long time, and some people in Songjia Village were a little unfamiliar with them. When they saw them come in, some people were still wondering who they were.

But Grandma Chen recognized them and came forward to greet them, "It turns out to be the second and third aunts. Come on, your mother, your eldest brother and your youngest brother are all in the room, come over quickly."

The two of them walked into the house, and their children followed behind them. When they saw their mother and brothers, they couldn't help but shed tears.

When the eldest and second eldest Song heard the voice and looked over, their eyes became moist, and Mrs. Song's eyes also turned red. The eldest eldest Song held back his sobs and tried to force a smile, "You two finally know how to go home."

The two couldn't help but burst into tears when they heard this. There were some aunts in the room who came forward to wipe their tears or to comfort them, which made the Song brothers at a loss.

After everyone calmed down, Li Qing, Li Xian, Han Changguang, and Han Changming came forward to greet Mrs. Song and Boss Song.

Boss Song looked at his nephews, who were almost as tall as his second brother, and couldn't help but smile, "Great, great, you've all grown up and become strong." Then he took out his purse and gave each of them a tael of pocket money.

The four of them were embarrassed to take it at first, but Boss Song was quite firm in his attitude, so they accepted it.

Mrs. Song gave ten coins to each of them, and the second Song brother did the same as the eldest Song brother, giving one tael each. This move surprised the two sisters of Song Ergu and Han Zhuang a little, after all, one tael was not a small amount.

At this time, the Feng Shui master began to urge everyone to move to the new house, as the auspicious time was approaching. So everyone took their things and went to the new house as instructed.
