Song Tan Jishi

The aunt was talking, and she was also hungry.

He simply raised his voice again: "Qiao Qiao -- pick more rapeseed flowers for auntie, I'll go back and make rice soup!"

The rapeseed flowers are sparse and sparse, and the seeds that fell at some point grew on their own, and no one cares about them, and they bloomed wildly.

Qiaoqiao carried the basket and got into the flowers, picked a good place to open the small box in his arms, and then grabbed the bumblebee's fat buttocks and put it on it.

Rapeseed flowers have tall stalks, but the flowers are delicate and tender. After the bumblebees climbed up, the whole flower trembled slightly with the naked eye, which was obviously an unbearable burden for life.

Qiao Qiao sighed, and had already forgotten his bamboo shoots.

Here, Song Tan was also aroused by greedy insects. Now he moved his fingers, and the thin spiritual energy from his fingertips drifted away with the wind, making the whole bamboo forest rustle, and even the branches seemed to be much greener.

There are more and more bamboo shoots sprouting under the feet.

She moved her toes, looked at the position, and directly dug out a plump bamboo shoot. The aunt was overjoyed: "Oh! This is big! It hasn't been unearthed yet, so it must be tender!"

"I'm back with cold salad—oh, this one is a bit old, but it's okay, let's go to stew the duck, the old duck in the vegetable market is cheaper recently."

While she was digging, she muttered, every dish seemed to be close at hand, Song Tan finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Auntie, why are you so good at eating?"

The aunt laughed: "Because the chef I mentioned just now, you have to call him Seventh Cousin! When he was a child, he made banquets in our village, and I followed him all the time, and I learned a little bit."

All right.

Seven cousins.

Don't say that Song Tan came back after traveling for more than a hundred years, even if she didn't travel, she couldn't tell the difference at all.

There are too many relatives.

Fortunately, my aunt finally changed the topic from food to characters——

"Your seventh cousin, according to what you young people say, it really tastes like fried shoe soles."

"I heard that when the brigade used to be a collective canteen, the villagers said that the captain of the brigade didn't ask him to cook—because the food he cooked was so delicious that everyone couldn't eat enough, and the planned food was not enough."

Whoa!

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 it is a luxury to light a drop of oil in a pot of vegetables.

In those days, who could make boiled wild vegetables delicious?

But according to my aunt, this Seventh Cousin can do it!

That was truly remarkable.

Song Tan couldn't help being moved.

Because she took the time to take stock of the next tasks——

Peach trees are to be planted on the mountain.

After a few fields have been plowed, the columbine should be sowed and transplanted.

The paddy fields need to store water and then the fields are plowed for transplanting.

In the middle, we have to feed pigs, chickens, ducks and dogs.

The tea will continue to be harvested.

It's okay to cooperate with the spiritual energy formation, but because she is not capable enough now, and it can't be too unrealistic, the work of weeding and pest control must be done properly.

Is this the end?

No, after this wave of busy work is over, the peach blossoms are about to bloom, and the early-ripening vegetables such as cabbage in the field should be cleaned up, followed by plowing and planting, and Song Tan has to be in charge of selling vegetables...

Calculated in this way, for a long time, the family has been in this state of continuously inviting people, but the food at home is delicious, and everyone's appetite has doubled or tripled.

Meals for more than a dozen people are supposed to be prepared for twenty or thirty people.

Ulan is at home now, although she only has one meal at noon, but she has to clean up in the morning, and is responsible for cleaning the pots and dishes at noon, so she is trapped on the stove every day!

Song Tan has long wanted to find someone to share the burden.

She and Qiao Qiao still dig holes and dig soil on the mountain every day, and clean up the corners that the machine can't reach... In the whole family, no one is idle at present.

Didn't you see that Zhang Yanping was driven to the mountains to hone?

Because of this, Song Tan really couldn't help but be moved by his aunt's praise of the chef.

"Auntie, what is Seventh Cousin doing now? Are you still taking the banquet?"

The big aunt's eyebrows drooped again: "In the neighborhood opposite me, the price of new real estate has risen to 8,500 now!"

That's what he said, but the aunt's expression was not very happy.

"Your seventh cousin is really powerful. When he was young, he took money and secretly bought a house in the urban area. But when the area was demolished later, he didn't ask for money, he only wanted that house."

"It was originally prepared for my son, but my son went to XJ at a young age and got married there."

"Your seventh cousin is getting old, thinking that his son is unlikely to be able to provide for the elderly in the future, so he took in an apprentice and taught him the craft, but he has to be responsible for the elderly."

In the end, the apprentice was also a white-eyed wolf. He felt that he was a burden after learning it, and ran to a big coastal city.

The eldest aunt snorted angrily: "At that time, the family couldn't support them, so what about the four sons of the family! The half-sized boy graduated from junior high school, and he was as thin as a skeleton. Your seventh cousin was with you and taught and fed him. I only fed it after I drank it, and later arranged for me to take the high school entrance examination."

"When that family sent someone over, they kowtowed to your cousin in tears, saying that they would serve him for the rest of their lives."

"At the end of the day, they ran away with their burdens, and the family said that your seventh cousin was someone who would pick up cheap money to make money for him. His son has been by his side for five years, and he didn't get a single penny..."

"I bother!"

Song Tan was speechless.

Honest people have their own depressions, but black hearts have their own freedom.

She could only comfort her and said: "It's okay, auntie, think about the good, Seventh Cousin lives in the city now, he has no worries about food and clothing, and lives comfortably, and he is quite comfortable."

The aunt sighed again: "It's good to have one in the city, and it's convenient to go to the hospital. But your seventh cousin and his wife are not at ease... You also know that the new community, the property is doing well, and you are not allowed to open food in the community land."

"The last major inspection pulled out all the cabbages that your seventh cousin planted in the cracks of the bricks... Your seventh cousin is sad, he walks around the neighborhood every day and has nothing to do, he is very picky when he buys vegetables and meat, said It’s not good to eat.”

Can you grow vegetables in the cracks of the floor tiles?

What kind of master must that be! Song Tan was amazed.

"Then...sold the new house and changed to one with a yard?"

The aunt glanced at her: "Your seventh cousin is sixty-seven this year, do you think you are as young as you and can make a fuss? I reckon, they want to go back to the village to live, but they are afraid that no one will send them there because of headaches." The hospital... is suffering."

When the aunt said this, her heart moved: "Tan Tan, you can't farm the land at home for a lifetime, right? Otherwise, you can go home and discuss with your parents, and take over Seventh Cousin as the chef."

"Seventh Cousin is in good health, so you let him be the chef."

"You are not in good health. You can drive them to see it. Don't worry, you don't need to spend money. The couple have savings."

"At that time, you will take good care of Seventh Cousin and his wife until the end of their retirement. They secretly said that when they can't walk anymore, they will find someone to take care of them, and whoever takes care of the house will give it to them."

When the aunt thought of the house, her heart became hot. If it wasn't for her own niece, she wouldn't have said it:

"Just say, how great it is to get a big house for nothing! You can choose whatever you want when you get married in the future!"
