After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family
Chapter 76 Settling in the County
This year, a wealthy family in Huashan Village brought a new toy from the state capital: firecrackers.
It is said that it was newly developed by the Fire Nation, and was used for festive occasions during the New Year. It is not cheap. The first person to use it was their Queen. The loud sound was really thrilling, so the Fire Nation's firecrackers were officially sold in January of the second year of the Ji Leyuan period.
When Song Yu heard the long-lost sound of firecrackers in the silent night, a rare smile appeared on her face. It was New Year's Day. She had been in this world for a year. She had relatives, a heart, a soft spot, and responsibilities.
But it’s not a big problem, because Song Yu doesn’t have much kindness and compassion.
The sound of firecrackers echoed through the mountains and forests, through the clouds, and made the New Year atmosphere no longer so lonely. It seemed to be knocking on everyone's progress and a better future.
Song Yu did not expect that the world's technology is not backward at all, and there may be more surprises waiting for her in the future. Human wisdom is infinite.
When Song Jing came back from town, she found a bulging package on her bed. Song Xin had gone to play snowballs with his brother in the village, so Song Jing opened the package.
There were several exquisite and gorgeous clothes, several boxes of mung bean cakes, some delicate small items, a pair of emerald green bracelets, an emerald green hairpin, a box of rouge and powder in an exquisitely carved box, and fine red paper for lip dye. The most beautiful thing was the earrings with pure white pearls.
Song Jing packed up all the things and put them in a packed package so that she could take them away when the time came.
He sat on the bed and thought. It seemed that the woman was more cunning than he thought. He wanted to see what other surprises the woman could give him. Song Jing's mouth curled up slightly.
Song Yu has discovered her second brother's secret, but looking at the things in the package, she fell silent. Is her second brother hooking up with a rich man?
She was a little worried. Whether he was a good person or not, his family should be rich. The pile of things her second brother had must have cost at least several thousand silver coins, and she couldn't get those things without money.
However, she will keep a close eye on it and don't try to trick his gentle and handsome second brother away.
After the New Year, the whole family was packing up. Song Jushu had quit his job in the town long ago and had also informed the head of the village. However, the fields were still subject to taxes from the villagers of Luoshan Village.
After everything was explained, Song Yu's family left on a fine day when the sun was just rising. It was the beginning of March.
In March of the second year of Yuanji Le's reign, the Song family moved to Changshu County.
Song Yu was not very satisfied with the old house. It was not as good as the blue brick and tile house in the village. However, she was dissatisfied, but she still had to live there. What kind of house had she not lived in? Compared with the house in the end times, this one was much better.
But her grandmother was very satisfied. Although the courtyard was a little shabby, the rooms were large and it was bought cheaply, for only ninety-five taels of silver.
The whole family started to take care of it. Ma Taozhi and Pan Xiaofu were very efficient; just the two of them could do it. Together with her grandmother and elder sister, they finished it quickly.
Her mother and second brother went to work, a full two months' vacation. Even though the employer doesn't care, you have to know your limitations!
The work in the county town is that the more you do, the more you get paid, which is similar to the modern commission system. As soon as they arrived, Song Jushu persuaded the two of them to go to work and he would just have them at home.
However, there is one disadvantage of this yard, which is that there are no big trees to provide shade. However, it also has an advantage, which is that it has its own well, but... it is a dry well.
The county town is different from the village. Everything here requires money, so spending money will be like water flowing.
After the house was renovated, it looked brand new and had eight rooms, so it was time to distribute the houses.
Song Yu has a room with the best location facing the sun. Song Yi's room is closer to the door. Song Jing and Song Xin live in one room, but they can only have their own room when Song Jing turns fifteen.
The rest were relatively large. Song Jushu's room was chosen in the backyard, and Ma Taozhi's was chosen in a large east-facing room, which was some distance away from several rooms in the house. This way, he and Zhining would not disturb Yu Jie'er.
Song Yu;……………………
Well, at least I took her feelings into consideration.
Then I went to the market in the county town to buy daily necessities. I spent almost one hundred silver coins in one day. I bought some food, some furniture, pots and pans.
Song Yu sat happily in the yard, staring at the well for a long time. She just put her mind at ease and learned about the consumption level in Changshu County, which was five times that of their town. If there was no water in the yard, she would have to go to the neighbors' house to fetch water, as others would not give it to you for free.
A bucket of water costs about ten cents, which is several times more expensive than a bun in their town.
There were only her, her grandmother and her third brother at home. With an idea, water from all directions soon flowed towards her well.
"Hey! Why is there less and less water in your bathhouse?"
"Dad, who stole the water from my mother's pond? The water is almost dry. My fish are gone!"
"Hurry up and tell Mr. Wu that there is no water. This batch of rice seedlings may be in trouble. Go quickly, someone is stealing water."
"Why is the water in the well getting less and less? We have paid for it, so the water cannot be cut off."
"Yes, I still need to fetch water to go home and cook!"
As soon as Song Jing arrived, the water supply to the store was cut off, and the fabrics could not be dyed. New materials and colors would not be available until tomorrow. However, as soon as Song Jing arrived, she received a large order, an order for 150 taels of silver. The guys around her were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
The water shortage in the entire county is becoming more and more serious, and it is almost reaching the government office.
Song Jing on this side nodded with satisfaction.
"The milk is coming."
Song Yu shouted and called Song Jushu out.
Song Jushu stared at the well for a long time, then took the bucket to see how deep the well was.
"Boom."
Song Yu remained silent.
"Milk, you can scoop out the water with your hands and drink it, no need for a bucket."
Song Jushu;………………
Looking at Nai's embarrassed face, she turned her head and laughed.
Seeing that the water level was almost the same and the supernatural power dissipated, the water supply to the county town was restored. However, a tributary of water from each household would flow into Song Yu's house. The water level in Song Yu's well would never drop unless Song Yu left this place.
The family reunited in the evening. When Song Jing returned home, he saw his father scooping water directly from the well with a ladle. He was stunned for a moment and then asked his grandfather.
"Master, isn't this a dead well? Why is there water coming out of it?"
"I don't know, maybe Sister Yu discovered it coming out of the water."
Pan Xiaofu looked very happy after he finished speaking. They no longer had to pay for using the collective water. However, they thought that there was too much water in their well. Now they no longer had to throw buckets down to rummage around. It was really convenient.
Song Jing stared at the water, then glanced at her sister who was sleeping with her face covered by a book. When the whole county was short of water, water came from her family's well. She felt that the well looked more and more weird.
