Just at this moment, my aunt-in-law called via video.
Wu Lan hesitated for a moment, then immediately handed the phone to Song Tan, saying silently: You tell it, you tell it!
Song Tan: …
She looked at Wu Lei again, and at this moment he also had a serious expression: "Brother Wu Lei, you must hold on for a few days, otherwise my aunt will definitely have other tricks."
"By the way, do you want to say a few words to your aunt?"
"No!" Wu Lei shook his head decisively, and then promised:
"Don't worry!"
Wu Lei, whose cheeks were still red from the sun, had a serious expression at the moment - in his mind, the credibility of his cousin Song Tan had obviously risen sharply.
As for parents...
He turned around and went up the stairs again.
It was only then that Song Tan answered the phone.
The circles around my aunt's eyes were still a little red and swollen. She was stunned when she saw that it was Song Tan, and then she asked, "Tan Tan, did your brother Wu Lei cause you any trouble in the past?"
"No!" Song Tan shouted loudly, and Wu Lei, who was standing on the rooftop terrace, could hear it clearly without having to prick up his ears.
"Aunt, I have to thank you! You always say that my brother Wu Lei is not good in this or that, but actually he is very good! As soon as he came today, he helped to harvest the rice, which saved us a lot of time and energy."
"And he didn't complain or feel tired at all - but I think he was tired. At noon, my seventh cousin made pork ribs braised with bamboo shoots and stewed bacon, with some vegetables, cucumbers and so on. He ate a big bowl of it! He had a big bowl of it in the evening too!"
"He never had this much appetite at home before."
After saying this, Song Tan even sighed in a pretentious manner: "It's all my fault. How could I let Brother Wu Lei do such heavy work?"
To be honest, I did feel a little distressed, but while my aunt was feeling distressed, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and eyes.
It's just the common mentality of mothers all over the world - even if a son has a bald head, he is still the best.
It’s okay for her to say that her child is not good, but if others praise her, she will still be happy.
At this moment, he knew he had to express his serious attitude, but he tried to hold it back, and in the end, he couldn't help but smile.
"You and your brother Wu Lei have a deep relationship, so he listens to you young people... Look at you, you always flatter him, how can he be so diligent..."
As he spoke, his tone of voice rose.
"It's okay, just keep this attitude. He eats so much, don't tell him to eat if he doesn't obey."
"That won't do. My brother Wu Lei is a very good worker..."
The two were chatting happily, and Ulan, who was standing by, looked at her daughter with a particularly strange look in her eyes.
Well... why not, after graduation, children need to go out into the society to gain some experience, right
Look at the way he talks. What has he been doing in the past two years? Editing and photo retouching... I'm afraid he's not in sales
I used to think that the child inherited her father's qualities, but now it seems that she has inherited her father's qualities.
So Ulan also became proud.
Only Song Sancheng frowned and thought: Wu Lei only ate a big bowl of such delicious food today? His appetite is too small!
On the rooftop, Wu Lei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Song Tan praising him.
Listening to his own mother's disparagement of him, he frowned and thought to himself, you look down on me today, but sooner or later I will become successful and call you... Humph!
And Lili, he had done so many things today, he must tell Lili, let Lili know that he is not those irresponsible men, but is fighting for the future!
It is indeed tiring, but fortunately I have finished harvesting the rice today, so if I have to do something tomorrow, I can just focus on doing it.
Just like what Tan Tan said, just hold on for a few days. He was very happy and decided to go back to the room to video chat with Lili.
And downstairs.
After hanging up the phone, Song Tan pondered and asked in a low voice: "Mom, after doing heavy farm work for a week, you should be able to build up your strength, right?"
…
Just at this moment, Qiao Qiao came down from the stairs holding something in her hands.
The light from the yard shone on the thing in his palm, making it shine golden.
Wu Lan was shocked: "I haven't seen you for a while, how did you make this field mouse so fat?"
He is really fat! I feel like I can squeeze out some meat from between my fingers. He is so fat.
Even though Wulan was not happy about the fur color, she couldn't help but admire it: "It's really beautiful."
Of course, its fur is the same color as the gold brushed wire, shiny and glossy! If you don't know, you might think it has eaten a magic pill.
…
We were using the new kitchen today and there were some things to clean up, so my seventh cousin didn't leave.
At the moment, he was smoking and chatting with Song Youde, and he looked over when he heard what happened.
The seventh cousin couldn't help but exclaim: "What a fat field mouse. If it were braised—"
Qiao Qiao: …
He knew it! The seventh cousin would eat anything he saw!
At this moment, he quickly turned around holding Datian.
"Let me tell you, Song Qiaoqiao!"
Wulan stood there with her hands on her hips: "You can keep it, but find a cage to keep it safe. If we knew it was digging holes in our house or stealing our food—"
"Not stealing!"
Qiao Qiao quickly waved her hands: "Teacher Xin took me to read the encyclopedia. Voles don't steal food. They just pick up what no one wants in the fields."
Of course, if no one picks up the peanuts pulled out of the fields and the rice harvested, it is assumed that no one wants them.
"Can I put Da Tian in the field? Let him look for rice grains on the straw..."
"Just forget it."
Wu Lan disagreed: "Even if there is some rice, your Grandpa Li said that he will pick some up tomorrow to eat at home, and then mix it with the hundred kilograms of rice we sent him. It will be very fragrant!"
"Besides, you've raised it, where would it hide the food it found? Would it dig a hole in our house or in the fields? You're letting a tiger go back to the mountains."
Qiao Qiao: …
He puffed up his cheeks in frustration.
Song Youde, on the other hand, laughed, obviously feeling sorry for his grandson: "Just raise him. Our Qiao Qiao is kind-hearted, and that's fine."
"Besides, when there was a famine, who in the village didn't dig a few field mouse holes to survive the winter? These animals have saved our lives, so it's not a big deal to keep them. Let's keep them."
It is the habit of voles to collect food from everywhere and then store all the treasures in several locations in their holes.
Decades ago, resources were scarce and people had nothing to eat, so they would dig holes in the fields. If they could find a vole hole, a family could barely survive the winter...
"Really?"
Qiao Qiao turned around, holding Datian in surprise, and rubbed its golden and soft fur, then grabbed it and looked at it:
"Datian, I didn't expect your ancestor saved my grandfather's life!"
"squeak!"
Song Youde: …
That's not the case.
But it seems that there is nothing wrong... But there is something wrong.
He became conflicted.
