Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 191: 191. The Hardship of Bench Legs

Views:

Aunt Lianhua now just wants to earn more money.

But with her mother-in-law holding her back, she can't do anything else.

At the beginning of this year, the Song family invited guests frequently, but she was the only one who couldn't go. They were so worried.

Now Wulan came to her house and told her that she didn't need to do anything else but wash the pots and dishes and clean the stove after three meals a day.

Can this be called a job?!

She is very skillful and can clean up in half an hour. It does not interfere with her taking care of the elderly at home, and she can also take the food back home. I wonder how much she can save throughout the year!

Besides, everyone in the village knows that Wulan’s family is eating delicious food nowadays!

Aunt Lianhua agreed immediately and couldn't wait.

But her salary is not high.

Firstly, the work was not hard, and secondly, the job required the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take care of their meals. So the two sides pushed the offer to each other, and the salary was set at 1,000 yuan.

Although the money is not much, it is a stable amount for Aunt Lianhua and she will always have it.

In Aunt Lianhua's opinion, Wulan's family has spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to rent the mountain, so how can they give up halfway

That must be something that must be continued.

Therefore, she was very happy in her heart. At this moment, she waved the spoon to stir the rice porridge, and her waist felt strong!

But from now on, there will be twelve people eating together at home.

Zhang Wangjia, who worked in the back mountain, should have come to our house for dinner, but because his wife had passed away, he insisted on staying at home for 49 days and not visiting other people's homes during this period.

Therefore, we decided to come to my house for dinner later.

My seventh cousin was thinking: If we continue at this scale, we may not be able to gather enough manpower in the second half of the year.

He might even ask for a side dish, so I just need to be responsible for cooking it.

Thinking of this, it seemed that the days to come would be more beautiful and easier, and he became more passionate!

"oops!"

He sighed and sat on the bench: "Now that I'm suddenly not busy anymore, I feel a little embarrassed."

Song Sancheng also smiled and said, "Yeah, I don't know what to do when I'm free... I might as well go fishing."

His eyes lingered on the fishing rod in the corner twice, then he turned his head and saw Wulan staring at him.

"If you have time, come with me to the mountains to pick tea."

Picking tea

Song Sancheng was in deep thought for a moment: "No, the grass in the field grows too fast, I'll go pull it out."

Song Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, it's really not necessary. Didn't we have someone hired at home? Why don't you just rest at home for a while?"

Wulan was also in pain: "When I thought about the mountains full of gold, I felt so uncomfortable that I felt like I was being pricked by needles when I thought about it. If I didn't dig for it myself, I would have to hire someone else to do it. I felt so uncomfortable sitting there."

Grandma also nodded: "That's right. How tiring can it be to pick tea leaves? Grandma is very energetic. Please don't stop us from working. As we age, our bodies will collapse if we don't work."

How tiring can it be to pick tea

Standing all day in the wind and sun, sometimes even half-bending over... It's very tiring, grandma, please wake up!

But Wang Lifen didn't seem to want to wake up.

She enjoyed making money very much.

Song Tan: …

Well, actually, my family isn’t that busy. I’ve got some free time now!

I really have some free time!

Except for Jojo.

Who told him to have the big king, the big white bear and the seven treasures to comfort? In other words, it is really not easy to treat everyone equally!

This morning, there was the usual meal of steamed buns, pancakes, pickles and porridge. Zhang Yanping ate leisurely until his belly was full. Then he took a large stainless steel basin, put twenty steamed buns in it, and together with Song Tan, they went to the pond with the porridge in their hands.

On the way, he was still worried: "Do you think you can really make money?"

The buns are so big that two should be enough to fill you up. If I had known earlier, the artist should have only given one.

Song Tan smiled slightly.

When we got to the pond, we found that several fishermen who should have been concentrating on fishing were now gathered together with strange expressions on their faces.

Zhang Yanping became anxious: "What's wrong?"

When he squeezed in and took a look, he saw the eldest brother who arrived first. He was sitting on a mat with a strange expression on his face. He was staring at him but refused to get up.

What does this mean

Zhang Yanping also responded with a puzzled look.

The next moment, the elder brother looked sad:

"Brother, please take this trap up first. I have been sitting here for hours without being able to move, and my back is no longer able to support itself."

Zhang Yanping took a look and saw that the rope of the trap hanging on the leg of the bench was stretched tight, and there was a churning sound from time to time under the water...

He thought of the full and heavy harvest in the traps over the past few days, and suddenly understood.

—Don’t you understand

Normal people put traps in the ground, sometimes they keep them for three to five days, and there are only a few fish and shrimps in the traps, which are very shabby.

It was because of this that the other party casually hung the trap on the leg of his bench. I thought that the young man was really good at bragging, how many hours from three to seven

Putting out such a big trap, be careful that it won’t even be able to catch a loach.

That would be embarrassing, as they would have to expose the lie on the forum when they get back.

But he didn't expect that just as he threw the hook out, he felt something pulling hard on the leg of the stool!

If it weren't for the fact that my brother is old and has a fat belly but a stable lower body, he would have been dragged to the ground by now.

He looked down: Nothing wrong!

Could it be that I mixed the water plants just now

However, the hook was just thrown out again, and the trap began to pull hard again -

"Ouch!"

He screamed.

"What's wrong?" someone nearby asked

The eldest brother also laughed and said, "I think we were not fooled today. The creatures in this pond are quite active. Look at my trap. As soon as I put it in, a bunch of creatures came to drill in."

If there weren't so many fish, it would never be so active.

The place he chose just now was not right. While thinking about it, he leaned forward subconsciously, intending to set up his fishing rod in another place.

But just as he moved, he suddenly felt a strong force under his butt, causing him to fall forward!

My goodness, the rope of the trap was running into the water right in front of him. He subconsciously grabbed the rope and pulled it hard.

The cage was halfway up the shore, and a black fish was stuck at the entrance, slapping him in the face with its big tail.

Fishing Old Ecstasy:

"So many fish and so many varieties, and such a powerful mullet. It's a good candy!"

So the question is, where should they be trapped now in this trap that was almost filled up right under their noses in just half an hour

Looking around, all the surrounding stones and trees were used to tie other ground dragons. There was only this one good fish mouth that I had chosen, and there was nothing else around.

So the fisherman said confidently:

"Just hang it on the leg of my stool. I think the ground dragon is half full. There must be no fish behind. I can keep it stable if I hang it here."
