Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 179: 179. Lao Peng and Xiu Fen [asking for monthly votes]

Views:

Qiao Qiao's eyes were filled with tears.

The seventh cousin was very satisfied: "Good boy, good boy... Don't worry, the seventh cousin is your master now, and your Dabai, the master will help you protect him!"

"Really?" Qiao Qiao finally burst into tears and said aggrievedly: "I don't believe it."

Seventh cousin: …

He tried to ignore the old woman who was giggling at the side, and now he promised solemnly: "Believe me, the master will definitely not lie to you."

Qiao Qiao shrugged her shoulders, wiped her tears with the sleeve of her shirt, and then groaned, "I don't believe it. Dad, mom, and sister never said they would kill Dabai, you're the only one who said it. Seventh cousin, you only know how to bully children."

Seventh cousin: … there is no point in making excuses.

Didn't he just say this on the spur of the moment? Didn't he want to take the opportunity to see what the child's character was like

Who knew that the apprentice was satisfied with the inspection, filial, determined, and good-tempered. Even when he was most anxious and sad, he never said anything about holding a knife.

Anyone who is familiar with the kitchen can handle a knife like an ordinary person would handle a firewood stick. What my seventh cousin is afraid of is a person’s violent rage and loss of control.

Now he is satisfied with his disciple who is loyal, righteous and persistent, but he himself cannot be satisfied by his disciple.

This this this…

Song Tan was sitting in the yard, listening to his seventh cousin's questions, and he couldn't help laughing.

Oh, she always thought Qiao Qiao was the cutest baby in the world, but she was afraid that "bald-headed children are better than their own", so she resisted the urge to brag.

Now, by coincidence, Qiao Qiao's excellent qualities have been discovered by her seventh cousin, right

Hey hey hey.

After sending the message, she answered some messages from group friends, then followed them up the mountain with a hoe.

After all, today was a sunny day that was not suitable for planting, so they had to hurry and make sure to plant all the watermelon seedlings before the sun rose.

For this reason, the total number of people working in the morning was more than last time, and everyone was working hard!

In Yuncheng, the aunties who saw Song Tan's recruitment information were indeed quite interested in this job position:

"Oh, this job doesn't require any certificate or work experience, isn't it a good one? If not, just ask my niece to do it. She's preparing for the teacher's certificate exam at home. It would be great for her to earn some extra money and practice."

Aunts still have selfish motives—

As for teaching Qiao Qiao, you only need a few hours a day at most, and the rest of the time can be used for review and preparation.

Some people even provide food and accommodation and get paid, what a great deal!

As expected of them, they found the highlight right away!

"That's true. I've seen Qiao Qiao, a kid. Although he's stupid, he can do addition and subtraction within 100. He's also a well-behaved kid, so he's definitely not difficult to teach."

"Don't make a fuss! No matter how easy it is to teach him, Qiao Qiao is a grown man after all. A little girl living alone in the countryside, and you have to teach such a person... You are not afraid, but I am afraid!"

If Song Tan heard this, he would probably sigh and say: It's human nature.

In fact, when she was recruiting, she wanted to write that only males were required, because Qiao Qiao is an adult man after all. If it was a young girl, she was afraid that there would be misunderstandings if she was not careful.

What's more, for safety reasons, it is indeed unsafe for a girl to live alone in someone else's home in the countryside from the other party's perspective.

But I also hope that there might be an older woman who can patiently teach me

So, the aunts thought about it and now they are also mumbling in their hearts:

Yes, even if they are acquaintances, it is still not safe to live in someone else's home.

However, Qiao Qiao's reputation is indeed good. Now the aunts are thinking: If it's not convenient for a little girl, is it not possible for a boy? !

Don’t the children at home who are taking civil service exams, teacher exams, and various certification exams have a place where they can earn money and study at the same time

If a family member of mine is successful in the application, will he be able to cut in line when buying groceries and other good things in the future

Several aunts glanced at each other secretly, and for a moment, their passion was extremely high!

Aunt Xiufen went home and saw her husband bringing her granddaughter Yuanyuan back home. She couldn't help but tease him:

"You said you were a teacher before, are you still accepting students now?"

"No, no, no!"

My husband Peng Jianguo's every pore was filled with resistance:

"Accepting students? You might be trying to kill me!"

I am old and can't stand the chattering and noise of children. It just so happens that Lao Peng used to teach elementary school students. Otherwise, he could run a daycare center and the family could still make money.

Except for her own granddaughter, Xiufen thinks everyone else's children are like troublemakers, but now...

"It's not about money. Look at Yuanyuan's face. Has she lost some weight recently?"

Old Peng looked at his granddaughter who was watching TV in the living room: Her little face is pink and round, she hasn't lost weight.

“You’ve lost weight!”

Xiufen insisted, "Do you know why not? The vegetable seller in the market has run out of vegetables to sell recently. All the food at home is from stock. I have to calculate the time to cook. The child doesn't eat well. Look, isn't he haggard?"

To be honest, Yuanyuan was indeed a picky eater. She had a pointed chin and big eyes, and looked thin and pitiful.

But in the past month, he couldn't wait to finish two bowls of rice at a time, so wouldn't his body grow rapidly? Now he looks like a normal baby, with chubby arms and legs and a round face, not to mention how adorable he is.

Now Lao Peng swears to heaven: I haven’t lost weight!

Xiufen was still nagging: "Think about it, even children have to calculate the time to eat, how can we adults eat well? Let me ask you, how long has it been since you last tasted that expensive dish?"

Lao Peng: …

It’s really heartbreaking to talk about this: since the last time he had bamboo shoots, Old Peng has never seen this family’s delicious dishes on the dinner table again. Every meal is cooked specifically for his granddaughter.

He glared at Xiufen: "What on earth are you trying to do by talking about this and that? Do you want to run a daycare center to make money? I'm telling you, it's impossible."

Xiufen rolled her eyes. "Why do you want to run a daycare center? I was thinking that Yuanyuan is in kindergarten now, so she doesn't need you to stay at home every day to watch her. Otherwise, you can teach a student. We don't need much salary, we can just convert all the money into food for his family every month."

Then he opened the recruitment information on his phone and showed it to him:

"I saw that it wasn't the screaming kid, but the kid selling vegetables. He's the one I told you about, very handsome, but a little bit mentally handicapped. He's always very well behaved when buying vegetables at the market, and he definitely won't make a scene."

"Look at you. You're a grown man, and they still treat you well, but you just take care of a child. I'll visit you once a week and bring back some food... How great is that?"

If it's that house...

cough.

Lao Peng said: It seems... it's not impossible.

The main reason is that their food is so delicious that I think about it in my dreams.

He pretended to be reserved: "Then I'll think about it."

As I was talking, my cell phone suddenly rang.

He opened it and found that a friend in the fishing bar had just posted a message -

"Fishing friends! Look at this harvest [ground trap picture.jpg], can you believe it took just one night? Free fishing in the village pond, and a free lunch box. Ten fishing spots per day, reserve now! Those who catch the least before 5pm every day will have to help the host pull weeds in the mountains for a day."

Lao Peng put away his phone and said seriously:

"Forget it. I don't have any experience in education in this area and I can't delay the child."
