Song Tan Jishi

Zhou Maozhu's honest husband and wife thought about it on their own, and they didn't think about doing anything when they were frying tea from the beginning to the end.

It is also enough to see that Song Sancheng's gift of 5 catties of tea is really not a loss at all.

And Song Sancheng sent them away, now thinking of the generosity he promised at the beginning, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Instead, Song Tan took the initiative to say:

"Dad, you have a good eye. My Uncle Zhou's family is really honest. It's really not cheap at all to fry tea for so long."

It's been a long time, so why make her father feel uncomfortable?

As for the tea, whether it is 3 catties and 6 taels of fried tea for a catty of dry tea, or 4 catties of fried tea for a catty of dry tea, whether it is more or less, no one can say for sure.

But Zhou Maozhu's family even fried the old leaves that were sifted every day, and sent them over to boil water for drinking when they were working at home, and they were frank from the beginning to the end...

Song Tan doesn't say anything else, it's okay to see people.

They are honest people.

Saying this now, Song Sanguo really trembled: "Isn't it? Let me tell you, Dad eats more salt than you eat rice, and what you say has a deep meaning. Sometimes you can't just look at the surface!"

Ulan passed by next to him, and made a soft sound from his nasal cavity——

"snort."

Song Sancheng: ...

He stepped aside in an instant.

On the contrary, Seventh Cousin was sitting there, and was quite touched at the moment:

Everyone who is an old man has to find a way to take care of his child. His child has gone to the frontier to get married and have a child, and he has never been there...

Of course, the children rarely come back.

Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but ask his wife next to him:

"You said... how about we send something to Shuliang?"

...

In other words, Seventh Cousin was also a stubborn person before.

Because he is a chef, he has been able to live at home all these years. In those days, being a cook was a good skill to ensure income and food during droughts and floods.

Therefore, when his son saw that he had no hope of taking the exam, Qi Cousin was tempted to pass on this craft to him.

However, his son Shuliang can do anything, but he doesn't like squatting in the kitchen!

As the son of a chef, he would rather cook bad food than learn it.

The Seventh Cousin worked hard, thinking of having a craft, and in the future he would take in a few more apprentices. The whole family supported each other. In the future, no matter whether it was opening a restaurant to sell snacks or doing anything, he could always support himself.

For this reason, I tossed and tossed my son a lot, and after tossing and tossing, my son ran away.

Before leaving, he left a note saying that he didn't want to learn how to cook, he was really not interested.

Seventh Cousin has been angry and angry, but... what's the use of being angry when no one is in front of him?

It was only later that he received news from his son that he knew that his son had followed someone to the border.

My fellow, how long the day is over there!

Isn't working there much harder than being a cook? ?

Sure enough, my son also complained when he wrote the letter - it was dawn early in the morning, and the sun hadn't set at ten o'clock in the evening...

After complaining, Seventh Cousin asked him to come back and learn how to cook, but he still didn't do it!

Frontier Luyao, it took a lot of time to communicate back and forth, and slowly, my son got used to it there.

At that time, the local mutton skewers cost 50 cents a bunch, pure mutton, big pieces!

Grapes cost 30 cents a kilogram, and there are still many shops opened by educated youths in the local area, and the young people don't feel homesick—he even met a girl!

Slowly, it took root there.

Until one day, he came back with his girlfriend and solemnly told Seventh Cousin: From now on, he will stay in the frontier...

...

That was all many years ago.

At that time, the cities were not yet developed, and a small town like Yuncheng was not far behind the counties in the frontier.

Parents will never be able to hold back their children, even if Seventh Cousin has only one son, according to his old-fashioned thinking, he will wait for his son to take care of him in the future.

But looking at the child's determined face, he didn't say anything in the end.

The frontier is too big, and there is not even a direct bus where his son lives. Every time he goes back and forth, he has to take a bus, an ox cart, or a motorcycle... All the way to get to the train station, it takes a few days to come back.

For so many years, there are only a handful of times when children come back.

Seventh Cousin wanted to go there, but couldn't even find it.

If it weren't for this situation, he wouldn't have made up his mind to take the house to find himself a family for the elderly.

In this regard, the son, who is already a father, gradually realized the feelings of his parents back then, so he took the initiative to mention the house on the phone.

But he also promises that once his parents need it, he will definitely go back!

But after getting married, she came back once, but when she sent him away, Seventh Grandma sighed:

"I haven't seen him for so many years, and I have to be careful when talking to my son... I can't figure out his taste, and I don't know how he lives there. He can't understand our local dialect."

"We are old...can we still count on him by our side?"

Time failed to erase the emotion, but it deepened the gap step by step.

In the end, Seventh Cousin also sighed.

At this moment, when he suddenly heard him mentioning her son, Seventh Grandma was really stunned for a while——

She thought of the mutton, fruits, jujubes, raisins, etc. that her son sent back from thousands of miles every year, and finally sighed:

"Let's send it too."

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment:

"Don't we still have some money? Do you want to renovate the old house? I think we will stay in the village in the future and send a letter to our children, telling us to meet our grandchildren... If he doesn't Time, now I have positioning and navigation, and I have learned to surf the Internet, give me an address, and we will go there by ourselves."

Seven Cousin dare not answer these words.

Seventh Grandma's body is not that healthy. Going to the frontier, they are at this age, if there is another acclimatization, half of their lives will be tossed.

But at this moment, I couldn't help being moved by my wife's proposal——

The old house is neat, and it will be more comfortable for the old couple to live in. In case the son brings the children back, the house will not be too dilapidated.

"That's fine, I think this engineering team is good. Let's see what it looks like when Tan Tan's house is built. If it's okay, we will also reinforce and tidy up our old house, and reorganize the yard."

As for sending things...

Seventh Cousin asked: "Honey, tea, white fungus?"

The meat and fruit in the frontier are good and cheap, if you say they are rare, that’s what he just said.

Seventh Grandma nodded: "Tell Tan Tan well, I'm afraid she won't be able to count money with you then."

Speaking of this, Seventh Cousin snorted:

"As for that girl, how can she count the money with me? She would rather give me an extra catty than reduce the price by a penny! This is a clear distinction."

While complaining, there was a deep smile on his face. Obviously, Seven Cousin agrees with Song Tan's way of doing business.

The son will come back, but will not stay.
