Chapter 68

Sitting cross-legged on the kang bed, Song Dingxiang was discussing with her mother, Li shi, and her grandpa, Song Xingyi, her plans for the gifts she had received.

Song Xingyi simply listened with a wide grin, looking at his wife and then at his clever granddaughter, feeling incredibly content as a grandfather. If there was one thing that made him a little unhappy, it was that Bai shi had remained in the capital, bringing their little granddaughter along with her to stay with his youngest son.

His granddaughter, a plump and adorable little girl, he didn't know when he would be able to see her. But in this situation, he couldn't bring his daughter-in-law back, after all, his son over there also needed someone to take care of him, not to mention, if his daughter-in-law came back, who would give birth to his grandson?

"I've put away all the porcelain, and the non-fragile decorations have been placed in various rooms. As for the gold and silver, they are to be saved for buying land and shops. But now it's not suitable to buy land, in a couple of months it will start getting cold, and then there won't be work to do, so it's better to wait until spring. As for those clothing fabrics, the sisters-in-law are picking suitable ones to make clothes and shoes for all of us, the fine fabrics are untouched, and when the time comes, they can be used for gifts."

Li shi nodded and said, "By the way, didn't we promise to provide clothes to the Li Sheng's family in the village and the Liu Dagui's family?"

Song Dingxiang smiled and said, "No need to worry, the clothes weren't provided, but I bought fabrics for them to make their own. What they do with the remaining fabrics is up to them, consider it as a benefit. Also, about hiring people. Once the workshop is up and running, the sisters-in-law and aunties will be busy, having one or two servants around can help with running errands, what do you think, grandmother?"

Li shi smiled and said, "I don't care, I don't need anyone to serve me. I don't think they have any objections either. Just be careful when hiring people, don't bring trouble to our family."

"Trouble?" Song Dingxiang didn't understand.

Song Xingyi, on the other hand, understood and exclaimed, "Our child is not like that, why are you worrying so much, old lady?"

Li shi didn't mind and said, leisurely, "There's a saying that goes, when a person has money, they will turn bad. I know our child is not like that, but I can't control the thoughts of the maids or anyone else we hire."

Song Dingxiang chuckled, "I see. Then I'll do it like Madam Wang, buy a whole family at once, with older children, even if they have some ideas, we can figure it out."

Li shi said, "I know you're attentive, do as you see fit. Although your grandfather and I received this reward, we have no intention of showing off, we just want to be honest. You're still young, you have plenty of energy, think more for yourself in the future."

Song Dingxiang laughed, "I don't care, I have to figure out how to serve my grandparents. My mother is indecisive, I rely on my grandparents to give me advice."

"What bad things are you saying about your mother?" Fang shi, holding a basin of tender pumpkins, walked in. "As soon as I entered the house, I heard you saying I'm not good, how am I not good to you?"

Li shi chuckled and said, "Your daughter finds you too casual, why are you picking these old pumpkins? Are you making filling?"

Fang shi nodded and said, "Her father bought some lamb meat, I'm going to make dumplings filled with lamb meat and pumpkin. Feels like we haven't eaten dumplings at home for a long time, today we're craving them badly."
