Chapter 25 Accompanying
Tan Shaoyang took the mint candies and the sandals for Grandma, and told Tan's mother, "I bought a pair of shoes for you and Dad. The soles are worn flat, making it unsafe to walk on." . ”
“I’ll try it later to see if I can wear it. It should be your size. I’m afraid I’ll remember it wrong. If it’s too long, I’ll exchange it. ”
"Pakes can't be stored for long periods of time. They should be used as snacks. Eat them when you have to."
After hearing this, Mrs. Tan felt happy in her heart, but she kept saying, "It's not like you can't wear these shoes. You can use the rubber shoes to hold a fire." It will be firm once it is ironed, there is no need to buy it.”
Tan Shaoyang didn't want to hear it. The soles of the shoes were worn out. If he didn't buy them, he would have to wear them for another year. He could make money now, so he would change them when he needed to.
When a son is willing to fulfill his filial piety, no parent would be unhappy.
Second Sister-in-law Tan listened with envy and said, "Mother-in-law, just accept the third son's filial piety. I don't even want it!"
Mother Tan listened and looked at Second Sister-in-law Tan. His feet reached his mouth, but before he could say anything, Tan Shaoyang blocked him in a hurry.
"Mom, I honor you with these shoes. You can't give them to your second sister-in-law. They don't fit her. If your second sister-in-law needs them, please pay for them later and I'll buy them for you."
Mother Tan immediately woke up. The shoes bought by the third child were indeed inappropriate for the second daughter-in-law to wear. If this was discussed outside, gossip would easily spread.
"How much does a pair cost? I'll pay for it for you and bring back a pair for your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."
Tan Shaoyang stretched out two fingers. This price was bought in the county. It's still two cents more expensive in town.
Tan's mother went back to the room and took out 4 yuan and stuffed it into his hand, "You can go to the county someday and bring them back a pair."
Tan Shaoyang nodded and looked at the two of them. My sister-in-law warned me, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, remember to remind me. I'm afraid I'll forget it when I go to the county seat."
After finishing speaking, he paid 2 cents to his second sister-in-law, "This is the money you get from selling swimming crabs. You can keep them if you find them in the future. It's 10 cents per pound."
Although you get a lot of crabs per pound. It doesn't add up, but it's still an income anyway. There are still a lot of swimming crabs on the beach.
Tan Er's sister-in-law's eyes lit up. She was happy just to pick up a pair of shoes for free. Now that the shuttle thread can make money, it would be even better. She picked up swimming crabs just to make a dish. Who knew she could still make money!
When I see it in the future, I have to pick it up.
“Lao San, can you not spread the news about collecting swimming crabs? If more people pick them up, we won’t be able to pick them up.”
Tan Shaoyang shook his head and smiled in a scornful manner, looking a bit like he wanted to be beaten. "Second sister-in-law, you are making things difficult for me. I am a fish collector. The more the better. If it is too little, I won't make any profit." Ah!”
“It depends on luck at the beach. Don’t think about it. Just pick it up when you see it.”
He is not a fool. He can agree to any unreasonable request. The stuff is not valuable, it just relies on quantity, so where will the money come from if I don’t charge more?
After Tan Shaoyang finished speaking, he went back to the room. He took off his soaked vest and lay shirtless on the mat. The very warm temperature made people drowsy, and he fell asleep soon. .
When she woke up again, Sanya looked at him eagerly, holding it in her hands and playing with it, and there was also an oily daddy in the bowl.
"Third uncle, I brought it for you, but you haven't eaten it yet."
Tan Shaoyang raised his hand and pinched her cheek, then got up. This girl is as big as a brat, but she still knows how to leave it for him. It hurts in vain.
“What is Sanya asking Third Uncle for?”
Sanya smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, “Second Uncle, we want to go to the beach, but my mother doesn’t agree, can you "Take us there?"
Tan Shaoyang glanced at the big wall clock hanging on the wall. The pendulum was swinging left and right, and it struck every hour and half time.
Once you hear the thud, you will become accustomed to it.
It’s only 5pm, and the sun is still so hot that it can peel off a layer of skin.
“Let’s go later, the sun will kill us.”
After getting the right words, Sanya ran away happily.
As for the mints on the table, although I am very greedy, I don’t dare to touch them. I can’t just take things that are not given by adults.
Tan Shaoyang pretended not to see it. He was coaxing the little old lady. The little old lady was a soft-hearted person. If the candy came to her, she would definitely share it with these carrots.
Tan Shaoyang doesn't rush to the sea, and he doesn't bother to watch the ebb and flow of the tide. Anyway, he can tell the time when his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go out. If everyone is staying at home, it means the tide is rising.
Tan Shaoyang had just left the room, and everyone in the hall was busy. In the yard, Grandma Tan was flipping sea cucumbers. Tan Shaoyang turned back to the room and walked towards her with candy and shoes. go.
“Grandma, look what I bought you.”
Grandma Tan looked at the shoes stuffed in her hands with happiness on her face, rubbing them as if she were a treasure.
A pair of kind eyes looked at Tan Shaoyang, with deep love for him, "I'm so happy, my third child can make money to buy shoes for grandma."
"In the future Don’t waste money. Grandma will work for you. No matter how tired you are, you will still be happy.”
Tan Shaoyang said with a smile, “I said let Grandma enjoy my blessing, and I didn’t just say it. I will definitely do it. Arrived.”
“There are also mints, which you can usually use to sweeten your mouth or coax the children.”
The old man was reluctant to buy it. He held a penny in his hand and wished he could hold it tightly. He treated everything as a treasure and took it directly to his room.
Tan Shaoyang just sat down on the small bench in the courtyard, which was just enough to block the shade. He took a knife and started chopping the sweet potato vines he had picked.
Chop it into pieces and stew it in a pot, plus some bran, which is what pigs like to eat most.
Tan Ah Nai likes to raise her own pigs. If she raises them fat and strong, she will have a sense of accomplishment.
The little wild boar he brought back earlier was also raised by her in a separate place.
You can tell at a glance that you want to keep them fat and strong.
Ah Nai’s money from raising pigs is not less than what they earn.
This little old lady’s position in the family is very solid, and no one can change it.
The most laborious thing about chopping pig food is the deepest experience of raising pigs at home. It is something that has to be done every day.
After chopping them all, there was a full pile.
The more he does, the less the little old lady will do.
If you are strong and strong, you can spend more time with him.
Although she kept asking him not to work so hard, she was still happy that someone could help her.
At this time, several little ones came to him again, looking at him eagerly, and it seemed that they were bored at home.
“Let’s go and play at the beach.”
Tan's mother warned, "Bring a bowl and pry some oysters back."
"The tide is starting to rise, don't let them go too deep."
Tan Shaoyang turned around to get the tools again. "We don't have to play now, we have to pry oysters again, so let's go help Third Uncle find oysters!"
I don't care about the few people, as long as they can go out and don't have to be detained at home.
Sister-in-law and sister-in-law are happy to see someone taking care of the child.
"The third child has really matured. He has become sensible and can make money. He will definitely marry a beautiful wife in the future."
"Isn't that right? My mother-in-law will have less to worry about in the future."
