Song Dingxiang [Completed]

C19. Terrible Thing.

Chapter 19

The never-before-seen young uncle of Song Dingxiang was named Song Zhixuan, possessing all the qualities of Song Xingyi and Li shi, handsome yet not effeminate, dignified but not too rigid. His slight smile was like a gentle breeze, making people can't help but feel happy.

"Young Uncle." Song Dingxiang greeted obediently, placing the pancakes on the kang table.

Li shi chuckled and said, "See, I told you, no matter how naughty the big girls or little boys are, they all behave when they see our Xiaoxuan."

Song Zijin covered her mouth and laughed, "I thought big sister wasn't afraid of the young uncle, but it turns out she was sneaking pancakes outside, and when she came in, she turned into a kitten."

"Go away!" Song Dingxiang rolled her eyes and then stuck her tongue out at Zhou Yinuo nearby, giggling as she leaned closer to Li shi, "Grandma, it's just that the scholarly aura on young uncle is too strong, making people not dare to speak loudly."

She then noticed a pile on the kang and asked, "Are these the New Year's gifts sent by the other families?"

Li shi replied, "Only your third granduncle's family and fifth granduncle's family left."

Most of these New Year's gifts were ruler heads, snacks, eggs, etc., not only for self-use but also to be brought as New Year's gifts when visiting relatives. It also indicated the differences between returning gifts and New Year's gifts, with the former being more substantial items while the latter being gift items suitable for visiting relatives.

"Sixth Uncle hasn't returned from selling goods yet, Twelveth Uncle is still in town, and Twelveth Aunt went to pick him up but hasn't returned yet. There's no one home, I guess someone will come to deliver gifts only after Twelveth Aunt and Twelverh Uncle return. Third Granduncle's family... usually comes last." After Song Dingxiang finished speaking, she asked Zhou Yinuo, "The gift basket, show it to grandma for the return gifts, and where's my grandfather?"

Li shi said, "Your father, grandfather, and eldest uncle went to town. Didn't they say they wanted to buy a storefront? They've been looking for one, and today they got news that the shopkeeper in town is leaving and wants to sell his store. As soon as your grandfather got the news, he couldn't wait to eat and dragged your father and eldest uncle to run off."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yinuo quickly stood up and said, "Grandma, it's all because of your grandson-in-law's matter that grandfather is worried."

"Oh, it's all in the family, your grandfather can't stay still in the house. If there's something for him to do, he's happy. And this news was brought back by your young uncle, as soon as he heard, he rode the cart and ran off!" Li shi said with a smile as she gestured for Zhou Yinuo to sit back down.

Zhou Yinuo looked guilt-ridden and couldn't help but glance at Song Dingxiang.

Song Dingxiang said, "My grandfather really cares about me. Zhou Ge, why don't you go buy a pound of wine and come back so we can have a good drink with my grandfather tonight."

Song Zhixuan quickly said, "I brought wine with me this time, no need to go buy any."

Song Dingxiang replied, "That won't do. The wine you brought is yours, and the wine we buy is our gesture of goodwill. The neighboring village also sells pig heads. Zhou Ge, buy another two pounds of that. Here, I've packed the purse for you, be careful not to lose your money!"

"Haha! Dingxiang, you're something else, so fierce?" Song Zhixuan laughed heartily and said, "Zhou Ge, you've been wronged by her."

Zhou Yinuo just smiled and took the purse, tucking it into his arms before heading out.
