The group had a good meal and drank to their heart's content.
Spring was a busy farming season, and no one had the habit of taking a lunch break. Wulan threw away his bowl after eating, and then hurried up the mountain to pick tea.
She was already full of passion, but after learning that Song Tan's customer had asked for another ten kilograms at a time, she felt more and more that there was a market for this tea. Going to the mountains to pick tea every day was like picking gold, and she never felt tired!
Not to mention the fact that a bunch of aunties from the same village were chatting and joking on the mountain. Their loud voices could be heard from a few hills away. The whole village was talking about it over and over again, and there were almost no secrets left.
Song Sancheng couldn't sit still after eating, so he went to the fields for a walk, and found that the vegetable seedlings were growing vigorously and vigorously, and the sown vegetable seeds were also sprouting dense green buds, which made him feel more relieved.
In these fields, the most tired people are not the old cows who have finished plowing, but the Dabao and Erbao who are constantly running around.
For no other reason than the magpies and sparrows that came to steal things in the fields. There were too many of them, and they were all protected by the two of them!
Old Man Li looked at the paddy field and asked: "Will you plant the rice seedlings tomorrow? If so, I will come early in the morning."
It’s almost time, the seedlings are all green and look strong!
"Insert!"
Song Sancheng said without hesitation: "You don't need to work, our family has enough."
These two fields total just over two acres. When Song Tan was a child and they were still farming, a strong laborer could plant the seedlings in these two fields in one day with a little effort.
It's because people are lazy now, and they have no confidence after not doing farm work for so many years, that the whole family needs to work together.
Old Man Li also smiled: "That's it, why are you worried that I will get tired? Let's do it together, hurry up."
"OK."
If the area is small, it is indeed not too tiring for them who are used to farm work. Old man Li insisted and was also a good farmer, so Song Sancheng happily agreed.
Finally, I did not forget to say hello: "Then come to my house for lunch tomorrow. You haven't tasted my cousin's cooking for many years, right?"
"Then you have to go!" Old Man Li said unceremoniously:
"I had a dream a while ago. I dreamed that he made a dish of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts for the banquet. Oops, it tasted so good that I ate two bowls in one meal!"
"It's no longer possible now. I'm old and my appetite has diminished. I can only eat half a bowl at a meal. I can't eat any more."
Having said this, Old Man Li laughed with satisfaction again: "But your Tantan family is a nice person and you trust me as an old man. The rice fields have been arranged for me. To tell you the truth, this year I will show Tantan these two pieces."
In the rice fields, I can eat a bowl of rice every meal, and my energy level has improved."
For Song Tan, this is for sure!
At that time, I introduced the spiritual energy to Ziyue Ying. People could not absorb much, but it was not without benefits.
What's more, Old Man Li's cows ate a lot of vetch, and he himself ate too.
These are all subtle influences.
But for Song Sancheng, he has a theory that everyone in the countryside believes in, and that is -
"Then I must have lived idle before. We rural people can't have idle time. When we are idle, we will easily feel sick. We still have to work."
"That's true."
As expected, these words resonated with Old Man Li, and the two of them stood on the ridge of the field, going back and forth, chatting animatedly.
By the time Song Sancheng got home, it was already mid-afternoon.
The sun was shining warmly, making people feel hot all over.
There were five armchairs lined up in the yard, and the seventh cousin and grandma, as well as Qiao Qiaotantan and Yan Ping, all sat on them one by one.
Each of the three little ones was holding a small local dog in his arms. I don’t know if the dog was sleeping soundly or if the human was enjoying the sun.
Song Tan heard the commotion and took off the straw hat from his face: "Dad, there's nothing left to do, you should take a rest."
As for Ms. Wu Lan, who is still working hard in the tea fields... there is nothing she can do. No one in the family can resist her mother's stubborn temper.
Song Sancheng was not the kind of person who could take time off. He tidied up the utility room and looked at the small box used to contain bumblebees before, and suddenly came back to his senses:
"Tantan, shouldn't this bumble bee hatch long ago?"
Qiao Qiao raised her hand:
"Yes, 20 of them hatched out, and now they can fly and collect pollen."
But the big bear is really useless, and even his family is quite useless. He only collects enough for himself every day, as if he has hatched a bunch of rice buckets.
As for the giant Kumamoto, it's even difficult for him to fly, so he has to be brought back by children with pollen baskets hanging on their legs to feed him.
Song Tan also muttered: As a queen bee, Big Bear's main task is to reproduce. Fortunately for him, after his own children hatched, he didn't even want to feed them.
It finally grew up, but now it is no longer pregnant, and it only has about ten or twenty bumblebees to eat and drink every day.
Do you work hard?
Very hardworking. Busy from morning to night.
Have you collected nectar?
They picked it, but not completely, because it was only enough to fill their own stomachs, and there was nothing left.
It's true that they have raised a bunch of trash.
But no matter how useless he is, this is Qiao Qiao’s little baby after all.
Early this morning, he specially sent the big bear to a magnolia tree in front of a house in the village. The magnolia flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance was almost dizzying.
The petals are relatively large, and the pollen grains are also relatively large, so it is just right for a big bear to sit on it - pick it up in the evening so that it can be full.
It can be said to be heartbreaking.
As a rough farm boy, Song Sancheng had no delicate feelings about Big Bear's unreliability and the children's indulgence. Instead, he was thinking about another thing:
"Tantan, why don't we buy a small three-wheeler?"
"Uncle Zhang is in the mountains, and it's very difficult to poop and pull trees every day. If you have an electric three-wheeler, you can ride it on the small road and transport some things."
You can still go into the mountains.
This is actually more advantageous than Song Tan's pickup truck.
However, when talking about electric tricycles, she remembered one thing:
"Dad, you told my mother before about learning to get a driver's license. Now that I'm not busy anymore, shouldn't I take the test for subject one and then continue my studies?"
Song Sancheng:......
How to say this?
He later simulated the written test several times, but never got a score of 85 or so. How cruel this is for a middle-aged and elderly person!
So much so that even Song Sancheng was ashamed to mention it.
He hesitated and murmured: "Isn't this? Isn't this a job at home? I can't free my hands."
Song Tanke didn't believe it at all: "Dad, now the vegetables are not growing and the peach trees are not blooming. It's time to have some free time."
She can buy an electric three-wheeler, and her father and Uncle Zhang can ride it and use it as they please, but do you still need to take the test for your driver's license?
Song Sancheng:......
Song Sancheng chose to go for a walk in the mountains again.
