The group had a good meal and drink.
Farming time is precious in spring, and people don’t have the habit of taking a lunch break. After Wulan finished his meal, he threw away his bowl and hurried up the mountain to pick tea.
She was already full of passion, and ever since she learned that Song Tan's client ordered another ten kilograms in one go, she felt even more that there was a market for this tea. Going up the mountain to pick tea every day was like picking gold, and she never felt tired!
Not to mention that there were a bunch of aunties from the same village chatting and laughing on the mountain. Their loud voices could be heard from across several hills. The whole village was talking about it over and over again, and there were almost no secrets left.
After finishing his meal, Song Sancheng couldn't sit still, so he strolled around the fields. He found that the seedlings were growing exceptionally vigorously, and the sown seeds were sprouting densely packed tender green sprouts. He felt more relieved.
In these fields, the most tired ones are not the old cows that have finished plowing the fields, but Dabao and Erbao who are running around frequently.
It’s not for any other reason, but because there are so many magpies and sparrows coming to the fields to steal things, and it’s all thanks to the two of them who are guarding them!
Old man Li looked at the paddy field and asked, "Are you going to plant rice tomorrow? If so, I'll come early in the morning."
It’s almost time, the seedlings are all green and look very strong!
“Fuck!”
Song Sancheng said without hesitation: "You don't need to work, we have enough manpower in our family."
These two fields together only cover more than two acres of land. When Song Tan was a child and they were still farming, a strong laborer could plant the seedlings in these two fields in a day with some effort.
It's just that people are lazy nowadays and they haven't done farm work for so many years and they're not sure about the future, so the whole family needs to join in the effort.
Old man Li also smiled and said, "That's all. Are you worried that I'll get tired? Let's work together. It's going to be quick."
"OK."
If the area is small, it is not too tiring for them who are used to farm work. Old man Li insisted and he was also a good farmer, so Song Sancheng happily agreed.
Finally, he did not forget to say, "Then come to my house for lunch tomorrow. You haven't tasted my cousin's cooking for many years, right?"
"You have to go!" Old Man Li was not polite:
"I had a dream the other day. I dreamed that he made a dish of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts at a banquet. It was so delicious that I ate two bowls in one meal!"
"Not anymore. I'm old and my appetite is small. I can only eat half a bowl of rice in one meal. I can't eat more than that."
At this point, Old Man Li smiled with satisfaction again: "But your family's Tantan is a good person, and he trusts an old man like me, so he arranged the rice fields for me. I won't hide it from you, since I showed Tantan these two rice fields this year, I can eat a bowl of rice for one meal, and my spirits have improved."
If you ask Song Tan, that’s for sure!
At that time, I drew spiritual energy to the purple clover. People could not absorb much, but it was not without benefits.
What's more, Old Man Li's cows ate a lot of Atractylodes, and he himself ate a lot of it too.
These are subtle influences.
But Song Sancheng has his own theory that everyone in the countryside believes in, which is -
"Then he must have been idle before. We rural people can't be idle. Once we are idle, our bodies will easily become unwell. We still have to work."
"That's true."
These words really resonated with Old Man Li, and the two of them stood on the edge of the field and chatted animatedly.
When Song Sancheng returned home, it was already mid-afternoon.
The sun shines so warmly that your whole body feels soft and warm.
There were five armchairs lined up in the yard, and Seventh Cousin, Seventh Aunt, Qiao Qiao, Tan Tan, and Yan Ping all sat on them one by one.
Each of the three little ones was holding a small local dog in their arms. I don’t know whether the dog was sleeping soundly or the people were enjoying the sun.
When Song Tan heard the noise, he took off his straw hat and said, "Dad, there's nothing to do. You should take a rest too."
As for Ms. Wulan who is still working hard in the tea fields... there is nothing she can do. No one in the family can resist her mother's stubborn temper.
Song Sancheng was not the type to sit idle. He tidied up the utility room and looked at the small box that was used to hold bumblebees. Suddenly, he came to his senses:
"Tan Tan, shouldn't this bumblebee have hatched long ago?"
Qiao Qiao raised his hand:
"Yes, 20 have hatched, and now they can fly and collect pollen."
But the big bear is really useless, and his family is also useless. What they collect every day is only enough for themselves to eat, just like hatching a group of gluttons.
As for Big Kuma-mon, he even has difficulty flying and has to rely on children to bring back pollen baskets hung on their legs to feed him.
Song Tan also murmured: As a queen bee, Big Bear's main task is to reproduce. But after its own children hatched, it was reluctant to even feed them.
It took a lot of effort to grow up, but now it is not giving birth. It just eats and drinks with a dozen bumblebees every day.
Do you work hard
I work very hard. From morning till night.
Have you collected nectar
They picked it, but not all of it, because there was only enough to fill their own stomachs, and there was nothing left.
It's really a bunch of useless people.
But no matter how useless he is, he is still Qiao Qiao's little baby.
Early this morning, he specially sent Big Bear to a magnolia tree in front of a house in the village. The magnolia flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance was so strong that it made people dizzy.
The petals are relatively large, and the pollen grains are also relatively large, which is just right for the big bear - I'll pick them up at night, at least it will be full.
It can be said that I am worried to death.
As a rough farm boy, Song Sancheng did not have any delicate feelings towards Daxiong's unreliability and the children's indulgence. Instead, he was thinking about another thing:
"Tan Tan, how about we buy a small tricycle?"
"Your uncle Zhang lives in the mountains, pulling manure and tree dung every day, which is very difficult. If you have an electric tricycle, you can ride it on the small road and use it for whatever you need."
You can also go into the mountains.
This is actually more advantageous than Song Tan's pickup truck.
However, when talking about the electric tricycle, she remembered one thing:
"Dad, you told mom before that you wanted to learn how to drive. Now that you are not busy, shouldn't you take the first test and then continue learning?"
Song Sancheng: …
How do you say this
He later took several mock tests for the written examination, but his score was never above 85. How cruel this is for a middle-aged man!
So much so that Song Shancheng was ashamed to mention it.
He stammered and groaned, "Isn't this, isn't this a job at home? I can't spare any time."
Song Tanke didn't believe it at all: "Dad, the vegetables haven't grown yet and the peach trees haven't bloomed yet. This is the time to make some time."
She can buy the electric tricycle, and either her dad or Uncle Zhang can ride it and use it however they want, but do you still need to get a driver’s license
Song Sancheng: …
Song Sancheng chose to go for another stroll up the mountain.
