Chapter 120 120. The legendary seventh cousin
As the aunt talked, she was also greedy.
I simply raised my voice again: "Qiao Qiao - pick some more rape flowers for Auntie, I'll go back and make rice soup to drink!"
Those rape flowers are sparse, I don't know what they are. The seeds that fell at that time grew by themselves, and no one cared about them, so they bloomed wildly.
Qiao Qiao burrowed into the flowers with the basket on her back, picked a good spot, opened the small box in her arms, and then grabbed the bumblebee’s fat butt and put it on it.
The rapeseed flower stem is tall, but the flowers are delicate. After the bumblebee climbed up, the whole flower trembled slightly, which was obviously an unbearable burden for life.
Qiaoqiao sighed and had already forgotten his bamboo shoots.
Here, Song Tan was also aroused. Now he moved his fingers, and the thin spiritual energy on his fingertips drifted away in the wind. The whole bamboo forest rustled, and even the branches seemed much greener. .
There are more and more bamboo shoots sprouting under my feet.
She moved her toes, looked at the right position, and dug out a plump bamboo shoot. The aunt was overjoyed: "Oh! This one is big! It hasn't been unearthed yet, so it must be tender!"
"Let's go back to the salad - oh, this one is a bit old, but it's okay. Break it off again and go stew the duck. The old duck in the vegetable market is cheap recently."
She muttered as she dug, every time Every dish seemed to be close at hand, and Song Tan finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Auntie, why are you so good at eating?"
Auntie laughed: "Because the chef I just mentioned, you have to call Qi Cousin! When he was a kid, he was a big banquet maker in our village. I followed him and learned a little bit from him.”
Okay.
Seventh cousin.
Not to mention that Song Tan traveled through time for more than a hundred years before coming back. Even if she hadn't traveled through time, she couldn't tell the difference at all.
There are really too many relatives.
Fortunately, the aunt finally changed the topic from food to people -
"Your seventh cousin, judging from what young people say nowadays, they are really delicious even if they are fried shoes." "
"I heard that when the brigade was still a collective canteen, the villagers said that the brigade leader didn't ask him to cook - just because his cooking was so delicious that everyone couldn't eat enough. There is not enough food.”
Oops!
Then Song Tan was really in awe.
Why don’t the older generation like to eat wild vegetables? Because in their memory, wild vegetables are boiled in water, and a drop of oil in a pot of food is a luxury.
In those days, who could make delicious boiled wild vegetables?
But according to my aunt, this seventh cousin can do it!
That is truly remarkable.
Song Tan couldn't help but be moved.
Because she took the time to take stock of the next task -
Peach trees were to be planted on the mountain.
After plowing several fields, it is necessary to spread the seeds and transplant the seedlings.
The rice fields need to be filled with water and then plowed to prepare for transplanting.
In the middle, you have to feed pigs, chickens, ducks and dogs.
Tea leaves will continue to be picked.
It is possible to cooperate with the spiritual energy formation, but because of her current lack of ability, and it cannot be too contrary to reality, she must do appropriate weeding and insecticide work.
Is this the end?
No, after this round of work is over, the peach blossoms will bloom, and the pak choi and other early-maturing vegetables in the field will have to be cleared away. Then there will be plowing and planting, and Song Tan will have to be responsible for selling vegetables...
Calculate this way, for a long time, the family has been in this state of constantly inviting people over, but the food at home tastes so good that everyone’s appetite has doubled or tripled.
Meals for a dozen people should be prepared for twenty or thirty people. Wulan is at home now. Even though she only has one meal at noon, she has to start cleaning up in the morning. She is also responsible for washing pots and dishes at noon. That means she is stuck on the stove every day!
Song Tan has long wanted to find someone to share the burden.
She and Qiaoqiao have to dig holes and dig soil in the mountains every day, and clean up the corners and corners that the machine cannot reach... No one in the whole family is idle at the moment.
Didn’t you see that Zhang Yanping was driven to the mountain to practice?
For this reason, it was really hard for Song Tan not to be moved by her aunt's praise of her chef.
"Auntie, what is the seventh cousin doing now? Are you still taking over the banquet?"
The corners of the aunt's eyebrows drooped again: "The community across from me is a new building. , now the house price has risen to 8500! ”
That's what she said, but the aunt didn't look very happy.
"Your seventh cousin is really awesome. When he was young, he used money to secretly buy a house in the city. However, when the area was later demolished, he didn't ask for the money and only wanted the house."< br>
“Originally, it was prepared for my son, but it turned out that my son went to XJ at a young age and got married and started a business there.”
“Your seventh cousin is getting older and is thinking about his son. It seems that he will not be able to provide for him in old age, so he accepted an apprentice and taught him the craft, but he has to be responsible for his care until his death. "
It turned out that the apprentice was also a white-eyed wolf. He thought he had learned it and ran to the coast. Gone to the big city.
The aunt groaned angrily: "The family couldn't support them at that time. Where are the four sons? The half-grown boy graduated from junior high school and was as skinny as a skeleton. Your seventh cousin took him with him and taught and fed him. He was fed with water and later arranged to take the high school entrance examination."
"When the family brought me here, they kowtowed to your cousin with tears in their eyes and said that they would serve you forever. "
"At the end of the day, the family packed up the baggage and ran away. The family also said that your seventh cousin is a good at picking up bargains and making money. His son has been with you for five years and he hasn't received a penny. To..."
"Bah!"
Song Tan was speechless.
Honest people have their own sorrows, but black-hearted people have their own freedoms.
She could only comfort her: "It's okay, auntie, think on the bright side. My seventh cousin is now living in the city. He has no worries about food and clothing. He has no worries about life and is quite comfortable."
The aunt sighed again: "There are good things in the city, and it is convenient to go to the hospital. But your seventh cousin and his wife are not feeling comfortable... You also know that in the new community, if the property management is good, it is not allowed to open in the community. "Vegetable patch."
"During the last inspection, we pulled out all the cabbage that your seventh cousin planted in the cracks of the bricks... Your seventh cousin is very sad. He has nothing to do when he walks around the community every day. I’m very picky when it comes to buying vegetables and meat, but it’s not even fun to eat.”
Can I grow vegetables in the cracks of the floor tiles?
What kind of master is that? Song Tan was amazed.
"Then...sell a new house and buy one with a yard?"
The aunt glanced at her and said: "Your seventh cousin is already sixty-seven this year, do you think he can live with you?" How can they be so young? I guess they want to go back to the village, but they are afraid that no one will take them to the hospital if they have a headache or fever..."
When the aunt said this, her heart moved. : "Tantan, you can't farm at home for the rest of your life, right? Otherwise, you go home and discuss with your parents about taking over the seventh cousin as a chef."
"Seventh cousin If he is in good health, let him be the chef.”
"If you are not in good health, you can drive them to see them. Don't worry, you don't need to spend any money. The couple has savings."
"When the time comes, you can take good care of the seventh cousin and his wife and provide for them until they die," they secretly said. But when I can’t walk anymore, I’ll find someone to take care of me, and I’ll give the house to whoever can take care of it well.”
"Just say, how nice it is to get a big house for free! You can choose whatever you want when you get married in the future!"
We seem to have quite a few children living in the frontier. Brothers and sisters of older generations have heard that they settled there and never came back...
Or come back once every ten or eight years...
