Chapter 27 27. It has to be you
“Dad, when will the person delivering the fence come?”
“He will be here soon.”
Song Tan Looking at the budding chestnut trees on the hillside, I planned to surround the entire forest and plant black fungus and white fungus in the forest.
As for this chestnut forest, she knew that her family had not taken care of it for so many years, so that the annual mature production depended on God's will.
Chestnuts need to be grafted, pruned and fertilized, so they are not easy to take care of.
Their Yunqiao Village is too remote, and chestnuts are not a famous brand. The purchase price is only one or two yuan a year, which is much more expensive than the eight cents in Song Tan's childhood memories.
But the problem is that all the young people in the village who can earn this kind of money have now left their hometowns and gone to the cities.
Older people, such as Song Sancheng and others, can no longer do such heavy farm work.
Time makes us grow old!
And in the middle of the hillside, there is a wild chestnut tree that is as tall as a three-story building. It blocks out the sun and grows right in the middle of the slope.
This is a wild old tree that has never been taken care of at home. The chestnut ball is not much bigger than a table tennis ball. The peeled chestnut is only as big as a thumb, but it tastes delicious.
Grandpa Song Youde stayed here on purpose.
Song Tan raised his head and looked at it, his mouth watering for some reason. I think of the time spent around the stove in winter, listening to the "pop" of chestnuts exploding...
The aroma is rich, soft and sweet.
She did not hesitate to gather a soybean-sized amount of spiritual energy, and slowly patted the tree trunk little by little, feeling the tree roots stretching to their heart's content under the ground. Then she reluctantly withdrew her gaze -
"It's been a long time! New Year's Eve!" It’s up to you!”
Song Sancheng was already calling her from the front: “Come and see if we can build a fence here.”
It’s too expensive for them to fence here. Yes, it’s still an ordinary rope net. Most of the time, it is just a reminder for those who are used to taking advantage of others -
If you have a master, don't move.
As the saying goes, guard against gentlemen but not villains. This is basically the case for most facilities in rural areas.
Song Tan made a mental calculation before nodding: "Okay, let's do it here."
Song Sancheng couldn't help laughing when he saw her serious attitude: "Look "You look so good - it looks like you are really good at it."
Song Tan also coaxed her father: "What if your daughter is really talented, right?" , are you willing to listen to me and give me room to display my talents?”
Song Sanguo was really coaxed into confusion: “That’s when you were a kid, I let you ride on your neck every day——”
< br>
After saying this, Song Sancheng looked at no one around him and said secretly: "Tan Tan, you see you have made a lot of money during this period, right?"
It is already mid-March, and Song Tan is around I sold wild vegetables six times - I really made a lot of money, it was already 15,000 yuan, and half the car was returned.
Song Tan looked at her dad with a smile: "I do have some money, dad, what do you want to do?"
Song Sancheng was overjoyed and coyly said: "Then what - Don’t you like to eat fish? Dad plans to go fishing on a rainy day. Do you remember your Uncle Wu in our village? He bought a new fishing rod, which costs more than five hundred!” Look, how about... you buy me one too? If your mother wants to ask, just say 80."
Alas, he has no other hobbies now, he just wants to fish!
Song Tan felt sour in her heart - wasn't it because of the two siblings that her family was so frugal?
But when it comes to fishing rods...
Song Tan also discussed with his father: "Dad, if you can quit smoking, you can save one or two thousand yuan a year, and I will give it to you then. Let’s put together 2,000 and buy a 4,000 pole!”
Song Sancheng:…
He was silent for a moment: "You don't understand. Those who really know how to fish don't even look at the fishing rod. There is no need for a fishing rod worth several thousand yuan. Now I feel quite comfortable with this." Yes, this is a fishing rod and tobacco. Tobacco is even better!
It seems unrealistic to ask her dad to quit smoking for a while.
Song Tan thought for a while and simply took out his phone: "But Dad, you have worked hard during this time. Isn't it just a fishing rod? A few handfuls of wild vegetables! What kind of one do you want? Let’s pick first!”
The sound of cars in the distance came from far to near - the people delivering the fence arrived.
...
Back home, Wulan was still ordering some bacterial strains from Song Youde - it should have been arranged long ago, but because the humidity of the trees cut down some time ago was too high, he had to dry the trunks again It took a few days before the holes were drilled.
It has just been officially planted.
Song Sancheng also smiled: "The people here are all from your grandparents' generation. Chatting with your grandparents every day makes them feel much better."
" All the elderly people in our village came, but there were two that I didn’t invite—those two ordinary people couldn’t handle it.”
Song Tan knew which two they were.
One is the one who is famous in his village for being unreasonable and even his own children can't do anything about it.
One is a fierce man who dares to poison other people's livestock (attempted) just to steal a pumpkin...
That is to say, people like this can be found everywhere, and they can only be avoided. But far away.
Song Sancheng was speechless when he thought about it, and now he simply talked about another thing:
"But Tantan, we didn't mention the money at the beginning - they are old after all. If you want to give money, later you will get a headache or fall while walking, and the family will say that this is an employment and you will have to pay for it, so we say no. It’s clear.”
Although they are all villagers, there are also many unreasonable people in the village.
It’s better like this. Wang Lifen shouted in the village, whoever wants to come can come. There are people who take care of food and drink, and there are people to chat with. For the lonely old people, it is enough to make people happy.
Not to mention that Song Sancheng also said that after the work was done, one person would carry two knives over, and everyone would work harder.
However, Song Sancheng was careful and now discussed with Song Tan:
"But I thought, when the time comes, our family will grow so many things, and you won't let Tantan spray pesticides. Isn't this just green and organic? The price will be expensive by then, right?"
That's necessary.
Song Tan now pays 20 yuan per pound for wild vegetables in order to create this price advantage.
Song Sancheng has been in the village all year round, but his thoughts have become more and more thoughtful:
"I thought, if our family only has this thing, and someone else picks it up later, we can't say whether it is right or not. ?”
That's how it is in my hometown, with pros and cons.
"Even if we don’t pick it, if people in the village come to buy it, if it’s too expensive, people will say we are unkind. If it’s too cheap, it’s not appropriate - otherwise, when the work is done, each person will be given a black tree. A fungus stick, a white fungus stick."
"Tantan, what do you think?"
Song Tan really didn't expect this - cultivators have arrays or knots when farming. In this world, no one would consider taking it from someone else’s house!
Now she nodded repeatedly and gave Song Sancheng a thumbs up:
"Dad, it has to be you!"
Song Sancheng smiled proudly: "That's right! Your dad and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!"
< br> Two unreasonable ones will be mentioned in subsequent chapters.
In addition, the values in the village are like this, and so are the human society.
For the elderly, it is also about taking precautions before they happen (a few years ago, my relatives went to the park to dance, and an old lady died of a heart attack. As a result, the children asked the aunts of the entire dance team to claim 500,000 yuan...)
