Chapter 10 10. Big White Goose
Song Tan’s grandfather Song Youde is an out-and-out old farmer, 79 years old this year.
He has a lung problem and often suffers from asthma, so he has not worked much in the past few years.
In addition to tidying up the vegetable garden, I also play leaf cards with a group of old men in the village. It is rare to have an old smoking gun in your hand. Every year, people come to ask for the old smoking oil in the stick to treat sores.
Grandma Wang Lifen has strong legs and feet, is in great shape, and is also a good cook. Nowadays, the vegetable garden at home is still neatly tidied, and every year people from the village come to her to exchange vegetable seedlings.
It 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. Under the tree There are a few chickens nesting in the sun and digging in the sand.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there is a very ferocious big white goose. He was originally squatting in the corner of the door, but when he saw someone coming, a cluster of goose-yellow lights above his head swayed instantly, which was very eye-catching.
It’s eyes were wide open, and now it was shouting “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.
The two big white goose brothers hugged each other.
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 "humanity and nature" for a while.
Grandma Wang Lifen had just come out of the kitchen and was very happy to see Song Tan: "When did Tan Tan come back?"
Looking at Song Qiao again: "Qiao Qiao, don't ask Dabai to soil your sweater."
Qiao Qiao raised her head and responded to her: "Gah!"
The clever little head of the big white goose also raised its head and responded in the same way: "Gah!"
Wang Lifen laughed. Get up: "This child... Tantan, has he eaten? Grandma will bring you biscuits."
Song Tan hurried over: "I just came back last night. I went out on the street this morning and haven't eaten yet."
When Wang Lifen heard this, she walked faster: "Then I'll get you more food! ”
What Song Tan wants is this effect - 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 rice grain on her fingertips. In just a flash, she saw Qiaoqiao's good brother immediately abandoning him, spreading his wings and "quacking" Rushed over quickly!
The flat soles of the feet clicked on the cement floor, and the little head in the yellow hat stretched forward. One can imagine how eager he was!
Not only the big white geese, 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 big rooster exploded. , Hongguanzi trembled, Qianfan just 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 his hand, but the group of people rushing over could no longer stop him!
At this moment, she felt a cool breeze whistling past the back of her head. 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 over into a mess, flopping and scattering in the yard, and then they calmed 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 guilty.
But Wang Lifen just chattered a few words. When she saw her granddaughter getting fairer and more beautiful, and then looked at Qiao Qiao, her heart was filled with joy: "Come on, come on, these are the biscuits your aunt bought for me. Eat more!"
Probably because I was afraid that the children would not have enough to eat, I filled half the bag with a plastic bag. Song Tan thought, now, if grandma's inventory is not 80% cleared, it must be half!
Qiao Qiao was about to open the bag happily. 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 particularly eye-catching, and it clearly expired in September last year.
Qiao Qiao happily responded: "Okay!"
The siblings either intentionally or unintentionally ignored the distress on Wang Lifen's face.
My grandson is stupid, and Wang Lifen can't help feeling sorry for the biscuit. At this moment, she just looks at Song Tan:
"I've lost a little weight, is it okay to work in the province? Come back and stay here this time "How many days?"
Song Tan didn't hide it from her, but she had to use some Spring and Autumn style: "Grandma, I'm coming back to recuperate this time, and I may take a while to plant vegetables. Help me!”
Wang Lifen understands this. Isn't it because her granddaughter wants to stay at home for a while, grow vegetables, etc. What can young people do now? Just try to make it fresh.
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: "Maybe he is playing cards with others in the village square. No one is using his leaf cards now. It’s fun, it’s not easy to get enough people...”
A group of trembling old men, playing cards for one dollar a day, would fall asleep every time they played 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 strolled 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 a milk biscuit."
"I'll eat a small piece..."
Song Tan didn't notice, but he also took a bite.
Song Tan: ...
Forget it, this proficiency shouldn’t be the first time.
He lowered his head and rummaged through the plastic bag again. Good guy, there was a bag of all kinds of biscuits and candies. Without exception, they all had a shelf life of last year.
There is also a pack of oatmeal cookies, which are rare 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.
So quacking, courageous, and very sharp - when she activated the spiritual energy, the goose was the farthest away, but its reaction was the fastest! He is a good housekeeper and nurse.
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? "The left hand holds the yellow, the right holds the blue sky", that's what it means!
Few people in the village keep goose, a creature like this, simply because it cries loudly when it eats a lot...that loud voice can be heard even over the top of the mountain, which is really disturbing to the people.
