Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Song Shiwei saw that Luo Hongmei was hesitant to speak, and her tone remained gentle: "Auntie, do you have any concerns?"

Luo Hongmei looked at Huang Changyuan and saw that he also looked puzzled. She glared at him and sighed before speaking: "Xiao Song, don't blame me for being blunt. After all, Ying'er was born after ten months of pregnancy. I love her the most and I don't want to let her go."

"I understand. Auntie, you might as well speak frankly."

"I remember Xiao Zhang is your servant, is that correct?"

After hearing this, Song Shiwei finally understood what Luo Hongmei was worried about, and explained with a smile: "In the beginning, Zhang Wu was indeed a servant I bought. Later, I returned the household registration to him. He called me master to show respect. He and I were only nominal master and servant, and we didn't actually sign the household registration."

Not only Luo Hongmei, but Huang Changyuan and others also realized it.

Since they are not a real master and servant, they are naturally not servants. Luo Hongmei was relieved. She stood up and drove out the juniors such as Huang Hai and Huang Ying, and then started to talk about business.

"Xiao Song, I understood what you said just now, but I don't know what Xiao Zhang meant..."

Song Shi smiled slightly, "Yesterday, Zhang Wu came back and told me that he had a girl he liked. When I asked him, I found out that he actually had a crush on Miss Huang. I thought that since we all knew each other well, we would naturally want to facilitate this good thing, so today I have the audacity to come and ask what you two think."

Luo Hongmei was naturally very satisfied with Zhang Wu, otherwise she would not have comforted her daughter yesterday, so she said immediately: "We are naturally not dissatisfied with Xiao Zhang. Just looking at how attentive he is to you, we know that he is a considerate and good boy. If we can have a son-in-law like Xiao Zhang, we would be looking forward to it."

Huang Changyuan nodded with a smile: "I just don't know if Xiao Song is willing to let him go."

Song Shi smiled: "Why would I be reluctant? Even if he gets married, he still has to work for me. Otherwise, how can he earn money to support the family? I'm just afraid that Miss Huang will be wronged."

"What's there to feel wronged about? It's not like Zhang Wu has only been working for you now. Besides, we all see how you treat Xiao Zhang. If you really treat him as a servant, you wouldn't have people coming to your house to help so often."

"I don't like trouble, so I won't bother with him. Since Aunt and Uncle Huang both think highly of Zhang Wu, I'll invite him to visit our home in a few days. Even if we are familiar with each other, we have to follow the proper rules and will never let Miss Huang down."

Song Shiwei had a positive attitude and spoke so many words, which was rare. It can be seen that he valued Zhang Wu. Huang Changyuan and his wife were very satisfied and naturally would not make trouble. They nodded and agreed immediately. After all, they stayed at home in the extremely cold weather, so there was always someone at home.

After agreeing, Song Shiwei said goodbye and left, preparing to wait for Zhang Wu to come back and tell him the good news.

As soon as Song Shiwei left, Huang Ying hurried into the house, clutching her handkerchief with a shy look on her face. She wanted to ask something but was too embarrassed to do so, which made the whole family feel very surprised.

"Okay, okay, I know what you're concerned about. Come, come, come and sit here with me," Luo Hongmei patted the stool beside her, smiling, "Xiao Song came to our house specifically to talk about you and Xiao Zhang. Your father and I agree, but I still want to ask you one last time what you think. If you don't want to, it's not too late to regret it now."

Without waiting for Luo Hongmei to finish, Huang Ying said hurriedly: "Mom, I do."

Huang Changyuan laughed out loud.

Huang Ying blushed: "Dad, please stop laughing at your daughter."

Huang Changyuan smiled at his wife, and they both smiled knowingly.

Luo Hongmei held her daughter's hand, smiled and then said seriously: "Since you are happy with this marriage, your father and I are relieved. According to Xiao Song's personality, it will probably take a few days for a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. After the date is agreed upon, the marriage will take place. Mother has something to say to you."

Huang Ying nodded: "Listen, my daughter."

"When you get engaged to Xiao Zhang, you will be half of Xiao Zhang's person. You can't treat him the same way as before. Think before you speak and be gentler to him. And Xiao Song, since Xiao Zhang works for her, you should be more respectful to her.

Xiao Song just said that when the weather is good, she will build a house for Xiao Zhang to get married, and all the necessary rules will be arranged one by one, and she will never let you down. From what Xiao Song said, she should also pay for the betrothal gifts. You must remember Xiao Song's kindness in the future. She has been very kind to our family."

Huang Ying nodded seriously: "Don't worry, mother, I remember everything."

"Just remember this. Once you get married, your father and I will be able to rest assured. We have suffered so much along the way, but now it is finally over and we are finally getting our wish."

The oriole blushed and lowered her head.

It was almost noon when Zhang Wu returned from the city, carrying a bunch of things into the main room.

Song Shiwei glanced at her and said jokingly, "I asked you to buy some jewelry for Miss Huang, but you just moved the shop back to her?"

Zhang Wu was very embarrassed: "My master is always teasing his subordinates."

As he spoke, Zhang Wu divided the things he brought back into two portions, one large and one small, and pushed one of them to Song Shiwei: "I saw that the snack shop in the city was open, and I thought that the master liked to eat these, so I bought a few portions back. This small portion is for the Huang family. In addition, I chose a silver hairpin for Miss Huang. Can the master help me to consider it?"

Song Shi nodded slightly, took the long wooden box handed to him by Zhang Wu, opened the lid and saw a delicate silver hairpin inside. He took it in his hand and looked at it, then said with a smile: "It's very beautiful, very suitable for Miss Huang."

Zhang Wu smiled shyly: "When I saw this silver hairpin, I thought it would suit Miss Huang, but I was afraid she would not like it."

"Since you are the one giving her the gift and you carefully selected it, don't worry about whether she will like it or not. Just give it to her. If you think she won't like it, then give her more. There will always be something she likes."

Zhang Wu felt that what Song Shiwei said made a lot of sense, and he took it seriously in his mind. Then he pointed at the things on the table and said, "I also bought two silk flowers. The shopkeeper said that they are all popular patterns now. Those snacks are also for my aunt to try."

"Huang Ping and Huang Hai are both married and have their own children. You should buy more snacks. These portions are not enough for them."

Zhang Wu slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: "I forgot. How about I go to the city to buy more later?"

Song Shiwei sighed: "It's not too difficult to run, these are enough. Next time you send something, remember to consider her two brothers' families. Oh, by the way, I went to the Huang family today to discuss you and Miss Huang with them."

"Ah? Master, you went to the Huang family? What did they say over there?"

Seeing his eagerness and excitement, Song Shiwei found it funny, but still said: "Of course they have some concerns, but it can be seen that they are very satisfied with you. Wait until tomorrow to go to the city to ask around and see which matchmaker has a good reputation. Please come back and buy some gifts, and we will go to the Huang family to propose marriage for you."
