The aunt settled the matter roughly and went home directly.
Before leaving, I thought about it and decided to keep the Sophora japonica flowers.
The Seventh Cousin is an old man, and he can tell what she is thinking just by looking at her eyes, and he is even more angry now!
——You can't believe it even if you say that you will be nice to them in the future.
But after the people left, he took a big bucket from the bathroom to the balcony and started watering it. His body, which was over 60 years old, was still stable.
But Grandma Qi sighed: "Let me tell you, if Sancheng's family is willing to support us both, it would be fine. I don't expect this girl to have children, just because Sancheng and his wife are kind."
The seventh cousin said nothing, obviously he was also thinking about it in his heart.
After being married for a lifetime, what else does Grandma Qi not understand?
"We are several years younger than Brother Youde, and he can count on 30%. We have a house here, so we won't let him suffer. Even if he is old, he will serve us. Why can't we?"
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't leave their homeland, they would be reluctant to go to the frontier no matter what. How could there be rich children but no one to provide for them in old age?
The seventh cousin then put down the water ladle and said with a dull expression: "I knew early on that they were sincere. But, his family has a heavy burden."
"If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about their son, what will you do in the future?"
"If we really negotiate with their family and have someone to take care of them in old age, then I'll be happy. But the problem is still that this house is not left to their family. That would be a shame on our part."
"But keeping him... is not a good thing for their son."
A poor fool can survive no matter what in the village.
But a rich fool... Even if he can survive, he doesn't know how much hardship he will have to endure.
Grandma Qi understood.
Having thought about this, the old man had thought about it countless times, and maybe the whole village had been plotted against him.
In this case……
Grandma Qi was also free and easy: "We are in good health now and can still work. Whether it will work or not cannot be decided in one sentence. Take your time. Tomorrow her children will come over. If she really asks you to go back and be a chef, we will
Go back to your hometown and stay for a while?”
The people around him know him best, and Grandma Qi also smiled expectantly: "I didn't know that you cook for an old woman like me at home every day. You can't show off your skills. Are you panicking?"
The seventh cousin retorted: "What are you going back for? There is nothing in the old house, so it is inconvenient."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a handful of Sophora japonica flowers, pretending to be nothing. He lowered his head and smelled it first, then with his eyes focused, he picked up a bud and stuffed it into his mouth.
…
The weather in early April is particularly good. The dew is hazy early in the morning, the morning light is dim, and the cool breeze is blowing leisurely, which is particularly sober for those who are preparing to work.
The sun has not yet fully risen. The tea-picking aunts have already skillfully tied a piece of plastic cloth around their waists, put on rain boots on their feet, then carried baskets and straw hats, and already went up the mountain quickly.
And on the road in the village here, the noise gradually started to sound. Motorcycles roared, and soon there was a row of motorcycles parked in front of Song Tan's house - these were people from the village and the neighboring village who came to help with work.
.
When my uncle Wu Chengtao came over on a motorcycle with his aunt, he was shocked when he saw this scene: "How large-scale is this?"
Why invite so many people?
The eldest aunt also said "ouch": "You said Wulan didn't even tell us. If my family doesn't come to help with such a big job, what are you talking about?"
The couple hurriedly gathered around. Song Sancheng saw it and quickly asked: "Brother, have you had breakfast?"
"Eat, eat." The eldest aunt looked left and right: "Where's Tantan? We said we were here to help today. What kind of work are you doing?"
Song Sancheng laughed: "Tan Tan went shopping for groceries."
"I'm going to plant peach trees today. My eldest brother will go to the mountains with me, and his aunt will stay at home to help Ulan cook, okay?"
With just two simple sentences, people kept asking: "Are you going to plant trees now?"
Song Sancheng felt sorry for his expensive peach trees and was afraid that someone would plant them carelessly. At the moment, he didn't bother to exchange greetings. He hurriedly took the hoe and shovel and took Wu Chengtao up the mountain with him.
At the back mountain, the piglets hummed skillfully, waiting for the upcoming breakfast.
The king walked around quietly in the mountains, and then returned to his dog house.
It knew that this group of people went to work in another area, and its mission was to protect the chickens, ducks and piglets.
The better you perform at work, the better you eat.
Alas, when will the new second owner come back? The yellow balls I ate yesterday were delicious! So sweet!
Dabai also stretched his neck and came over with fluttering wings. A pair of flat goose beaks reluctantly poked his empty rice bowl. Finally, the dog and the goose looked at each other and both lay down quietly.
In the yard, all the people who agreed to help yesterday went up the mountain, leaving only Wulan, two aunts who helped, and aunt Zhou Fangjuan.
Don't think that there is nothing to do early in the morning. These 20 or 30 people are working. Those in the logistics department don't do anything early in the morning. They have to prepare all the tea first.
There were only two water bottles at home, which was originally not enough, but this was a small thing. Since the couple came to work today, they naturally brought their own tea bottles over and took them back after finishing work in the evening.
For villagers, this is a common thing. In the early decades, people would borrow benches and bowls.
But today at noon, we really had to borrow benches and bowls.
Wu Lan and everyone were gathering benches at the boss's house and wandering around the Xi family's vegetable garden. At the same time, they had to deal with the real and fake inquiries from the villagers - after all, so many people were hired to work at once. How many years had they not appeared in the village?
No, she was tired both physically and mentally early in the morning, and she had no leisure time at all!
Finally, dozens of pots of water were boiled, and Song Tan drove back.
Going to the market early in the morning was something she hadn't experienced in years. The last time her father took her to buy seeds, he wasn't so enthusiastic.
Watching Qiao Qiao and Zhang Yanping unload the vegetables and meat from the car, Wulan pulled her aside:
"Tan Tan, your aunt said last night that she would like you to go take a look today - have you thought about bringing anything?"
"We won't force you to do anything about your seventh cousin. If we really can't talk about it, just ask your seventh cousin if any of his colleagues are willing to come and work in our village."
"Your mother and I are just an ordinary rural woman. I want to eat this way every day, but I can't help you."
Wu Lan also has his own account in mind - don't think that this grand occasion like today is just this one!
After planting the peach trees, there is still a lot of work ahead. Not to mention too much, with three or five people joining in every day, cooking is a big project.
Her craftsmanship can make home-cooked dishes, but if there are too many people, it will be really difficult to endure it for a long time!
"I'm exhausted just washing dishes and cleaning up every day."
