The whole morning, neither the aunt nor Sun Yanyan had any good thing. Even if they tried to restrain themselves, their faces were still gloomy and unpleasant.
My eldest aunt and grandmother were sitting there picking vegetables. They were picking and choosing a whole basin of tender astragalus. The mother and daughter had something to talk about:
"It's 20 yuan a pound. We can have a good meal today."
"That's right, twenty! I think we should sell it. Mom, don't you have lettuces in your garden? It's the same if we just pick a few and bring them back."
"Yes, I think so too. Lettuce is so cheap. One can be stewed with meat, and the other can be stir-fried. It's not too cold."
"Alas, Tantan is just like my brother, honest and doesn't know how to do business!"
"That's right, Sancheng has been honest since he was a child."
Wulan was waving a spatula in the kitchen, and she felt happy just listening to them chatting.
She thought to herself, let’s put Song Sancheng, who is always dishonest, aside for now, their Tan Tan is really good at doing business.
Looking at the distressed faces of my sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law, I felt even better.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao's voice came from the doorway:
"Mom, Uncle Zhang taught me how to make compost today."
"Yeah?"
Wu Lan also raised her voice and responded: "Then you must study hard, our garden will depend on you in the future!"
Qiao Qiao rushed into the yard proudly: "I will definitely study hard, I am very busy with tasks now!"
Then he saw the people in the yard, and he laughed even more happily:
"Aunt, I didn't finish the snow cake you gave me last time, so I gave half to Dabai."
When I turned around, I saw the aunt from the hardware store and the annoying sister-in-law, so I snorted and pretended not to see them.
Mao Li and Sun Yanyan were even more angry: "Tsk, how was this child trained? He doesn't even know how to greet people when he sees them."
Qiao Qiao snorted: "Because I'm stupid."
“Puff!”
Song Tan couldn't help laughing.
She also quickly agreed: "Yes, aunt, you are old, why are you arguing with a child?"
When these words are spoken, the effect is doubled with “it’s a big holiday” and “they’re still children”!
The eldest aunt's face turned blue again. When she saw Uncle Song coming in from outside, she snorted coldly:
"You guys are so slow. You only come back when the meal is almost ready."
Uncle Song didn't understand why, and now he was also puzzled: "My sister-in-law cooks, and you go home to eat the ready-made food, why are you in such a hurry?"
Mao Li: …
If she wasn't so old, she would really want to tear it apart and go straight back to the city.
But it was really depressing to sit there, seeing all the grown men sitting there smoking, drinking the ordinary big-leaf tea grown on the mountain, chatting, it was so uncomfortable.
What about them? They haven't had a smooth morning.
So he said unwillingly:
"Tan Tan, you bought me a car when you returned home. This must be a big investment, right? It will take you a while to earn that much money by selling vegetables."
"I heard from your mom that you bought a few more dogs. Why don't you ask your sister-in-law? She has a lot of connections and can give you a much lower price."
"That's right!" The eldest sister-in-law quickly responded: "I just heard from my aunt that it cost three thousand yuan. Oh, I think it must be too expensive!"
It just so happened that the person in charge of tilling the land was left with a meal for the first time today. He walked in from outside the yard and subconsciously said:
"That's not expensive! I heard about it on the street. The dog you bought was one that had eaten a tiger - oh, that's a big bargain."
What the hell, a dog that ate a tiger?!
That would be cannibalism!
My uncle and aunt also looked over in shock, not to mention the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Song Tan neither agreed nor denied it, but only answered another question: "Fortunately, I didn't spend any money. My friend couldn't afford it and gave it to me."
Oh my, what is the dog that has eaten the tiger
Sun Yanyan and Mao Li stopped talking and no longer mentioned whether it was a dog or not - they were kidding, even if she was given 30,000 yuan, she couldn't get a dog that had eaten a tiger!
After thinking about it, the aunt simply stopped talking about other topics and took advantage of the crowd to directly talk to Wang Lifen:
"Mom, what vegetables do you have in your garden? Vegetables are so expensive in the city right now. I'll dig some before I leave."
Coincidentally, there was actually a piece of vegetable garden left in front of Wang Lifen's house.
What can we have in this season? Isn't it just cabbage, garlic sprouts and lettuce
The rest were the Chinese cabbage seedlings grown for Song Tan. They hadn’t grown yet and couldn’t be eaten at all.
Song Youde and Wang Lifen now eat with Song Tan's family every day. They have fish, meat and vegetables. Who still remembers those lettuces
So Wang Lifen was quite generous:
"Go ahead and pull them all out. It's okay even if you're done pulling them all out."
Mao Li almost laughed out loud - Agastache rugosa costs 20 yuan per pound, so who knows what the lettuce is worth
Now he looked at Song Tan again: "Tan Tan, the astragalus you gave me last time was quite delicious. Where did it grow from? I'll go dig some more - you won't be reluctant to give it up, will you?"
Song Tan almost laughed out loud.
My aunt is so funny. If she wants to dig something, she just asks directly. She has to beat around the bush for the whole morning and get so angry that she finally gets to the point.
She also sighed with regret: "Oh! Aunt, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Just last night, all those fields were plowed. I'm going to plant rice in two days."
She pointed to the basin and said, "Didn't you say it was gone? This is what's left."
Mao Li was so breathless that she couldn't catch her breath. You just said it's gone. She thought, this thing is everywhere in the fields, how can it really be gone?!
They came back today, and the land had been plowed yesterday. Isn't God trying to be mean to them
The eldest aunt also looked regretful: "Isn't this making money? How come it's gone?"
Song Tan sighed: "There's nothing I can do, aunt. People are picky these days. After eating this for so long, they should be tired of it."
The army in the group who suddenly ran out of food and had to buy groceries: … We are not tired of it.
That's true.
The eldest aunt thought about it with regret, and then looked at Mao Li, not at all shy:
"Sister-in-law, you have nothing to do now, so go get all the lettuce and garlic sprouts from our mother's house. Give me half of them when the time comes."
What could Mao Li say
She is the old lady’s biological daughter. How can she not share the things from her own land
They have just finished picking the vegetables, why do they have to work again
But when he looked again, he saw that everyone in the yard was looking at him, and the uncle still felt ashamed.
"There's a vegetable market right outside our house. Why do you have to take our mother's vegetables? Is it easy for an old couple to grow something?"
It's so embarrassing, as if he can't get enough food in the city.
But the words have already been said, can I still say no? Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing
My aunt continued to look gloomy.
In fact, Song Tan did not give any spiritual energy to the lettuces in grandma's field. At most, they rubbed against the cabbage seedlings.
But even if he tried it, it should taste pretty good. Song Tan was not happy with such a cheap auntie.
So she clapped her hands and said, "Oh no."
"Aunt, my grandmother's crops are not as delicious as mine. There are two old locust trees in the back hill that are about to bloom. Don't take the lettuce. After dinner, I'll ask Qiao Qiao to go to the back hill to pick locust flowers for you."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were taking baskets from the car, had their eyes lit up.
