Song Tan's grandfather, Song Youde, is an old farmer. He is 79 this year.
He has a lung problem and often suffers from asthma, so he hasn't worked much in the past few years.
In addition to tidying up the vegetable garden, he also plays leaf cards with a group of old men in the village. He has an old tobacco pipe in his hand, which is rare in all villages. Every year, people come to ask for the old tobacco oil in the pipe to treat sores.
Grandma Wang Lifen, on the other hand, has strong legs and feet, is in good health, and is also a good cook. Today, the vegetable garden at home is still neatly tidied, and every year people from the village come to her to exchange vegetable seedlings.
He can be called the backbone of the old Song family.
Song Tan walked out of the yard and walked around a vegetable garden. He saw an old red-brick house standing at the foot of the mountain. The yard at the door was paved with cement. There was only an osmanthus tree in the corner of the yard, and a few squirrels nested under the tree.
Chicken scratching the sand.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there is a very ferocious big white goose. It was squatting in the corner of the door. Now when it sees people coming, a cluster of yellow goose above its head shakes instantly, which is very eye-catching.
It widened its small eyes, and now it screamed "quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!"
Song Qiao behind him also quickly opened his arms and rushed forward, shouting the same: "Quack, quack! Dabai, I'm coming!"
Then squat down skillfully.
Just hugging each other nicely with the big white goose brothers.
You put your arms around my long neck, and I put my wings around your back. That’s called deep affection!
Song Tan:......
She was unable to evaluate such "man and nature" for the moment.
Grandma Wang Lifen just came out of the kitchen and was very happy to see Song Tan: "When did Tantan come back?"
Looked at Song Qiao again: "Qiao Qiao, don't ask Dabai to stain your sweater."
Qiaoqiao raised her head and responded to her: "Gah!"
The clever little head of the big white goose also raised its head and responded: "Gah!"
Wang Lifen laughed loudly: "This child... Tan Tan, has he eaten yet? Grandma will bring you biscuits."
Song Tan hurried over: "I just came back last night and went out to the streets this morning. I haven't eaten yet."
When Wang Lifen heard this, she walked faster: "Then I'll get you more food!"
This is what Song Tan wants - since everything has expired, of course it must be dealt with as soon as possible!
She looked around the yard. Her grandparents were hard-working people and the house was neatly kept. Except for a few chickens in the corner of the yard, there was no mess at all.
With a thought in her mind, she knelt down and condensed a ball of spiritual energy the size of a grain of rice on her fingertips. In just a flash, she saw Qiaoqiao's good brother immediately abandoning him, spreading his wings and rushing over quickly!
The flat soles of the feet clicked on the concrete floor, and the little head in the yellow hat stretched forward. One can imagine how eager he was!
Not only the big white geese, but the five chickens squatting in the pit to bask in the sun were also crazy. At this moment, they spread their legs and ran towards Song Tan. The shiny neck hair of the leading rooster exploded, and the red crest burst into flames.
Trembling, Ganfan finally got into a fight!
For a moment, Qiao Qiao opened her mouth in surprise.
Song Tan felt bad - she knew that spiritual energy cultivation was particularly good for raising animals, but she didn't expect that it would be so attractive here!
If this were to attack me, I wouldn’t be able to keep my clothes!
At this moment, he quickly stopped, but the group of people rushing towards him could no longer stop him!
At this moment, she felt a cool breeze whistling past the back of her head, and the big broom above her head was swept across without hesitation. She could even feel the dust falling from the broom.
The heroic big broom made the chickens and geese that rushed towards him squawk and scatter in the yard. Only then did he calm down.
Wang Lifen took a breath: "I just chopped cabbage to feed them, why are you so crazy!" At the same time, she felt distressed: "This is scary, maybe I haven't laid eggs in the past two days."
Song Tan felt a little guilty.
But Wang Lifen just chattered a few words. Now when she saw her granddaughter getting fairer and more beautiful, and then looked at Qiao Qiao, her heart and eyes were filled with only joy:
"Come on, come on, these are the biscuits your aunt bought for me. Eat more of them!"
Probably because he was worried that the child would not have enough to eat, he filled half of the bag with a plastic bag. Song Tan thought, now, even if 80% of grandma's inventory has not been cleared, it must be half full!
Qiao Qiao was about to open the bag happily, but Song Tan didn't stop him. He just took the plastic bag in his hand and gave Song Qiao a small biscuit: "Qiao Qiao, give it to your big goose brother to try."
The black code on the shelf life is very eye-catching, it clearly expired in September last year.
Qiao Qiao responded happily: "Okay!"
The two siblings either intentionally or unintentionally ignored the distress on Wang Lifen's face.
Her grandson was so stupid that Wang Lifen couldn't help but felt sorry for the biscuit. At this moment, she only looked at Song Tan:
"I've lost a little weight. Is it okay to work in Ning Province? How many days will I stay here this time?"
Song Tan didn't hide anything from her, but she had to use some Spring and Autumn style: "Grandma, I'm coming back to recuperate this time, and I may rest for a while. When the time comes to plant vegetables, come and help me!"
Wang Lifen understands this. Isn't it just that her granddaughter wants to stay at home for a while, grow vegetables, etc. What can young people do now? It's just something new.
She laughed so loudly: "Oh, my granddaughter grows vegetables, I will definitely help you!"
Of course, within a few days she was speechless.
Song Tan looked around: "Where is my grandfather?"
Wang Lifen thought for a while: "Probably play cards with others in the village square. No one is playing with his leaf cards now. It's not easy to get enough people..."
A group of trembling old men, who play cards for one dollar a day, doze off every time they play cards...
Wang Lifen was so happy that he went out to play by himself.
"You don't have to pick and choose at home." She looked like she disliked the old man.
In fact, the old couple had been together for decades. They had known each other since Song Youde was seven or eight years old when he was herding cattle for the landlord's family, and they had a deep relationship.
Song Tan walked around and saw Qiao Qiao squatting there and having fun with the two big white goose brothers: "Dabai, how about you eat a big piece...? Is it sweet? This is milk biscuit."
"I'll eat a small piece..."
Song Tan didn't notice, he also took a bite.
Song Tan:......
Forget it, it’s probably not the first time I’ve experienced this level of proficiency.
I lowered my head and rummaged through the plastic bag again. Oh dear, there was a bag of various cookies and candies. Without exception, they all had a shelf life of last year.
There is also a pack of oatmeal biscuits, which are treasured and have an expiration date of the year before last.
Song Tan turned it out and was silent for a long time. Now he didn't even dare to feed the goose.
However, she did fall in love with the big white goose.
She is so quacking, courageous, and very keen - when she activates the spiritual energy, the goose is the farthest away, but the goose reacts the fastest! She is a good housekeeper and caregiver.
When the pig pen in the back mountain is easily repaired, let's ask grandma to lend it to herding pigs and geese!
Paired with two big yellow dogs, what does the poem say? "Leading the yellow on the left, holding the blue on the right", it has such a meaning!
Goose is a creature that few people in the village raise simply because it cries loudly when it eats a lot... its loud voice can be heard even over the top of the mountain, which is really disturbing to the people.
