After everything was arranged, Wu Lan turned around and said, "Dad, the people who are going to work will come here soon, but they can't find the puddle, so you have to take them there."
"Okay." Song Youde nodded: "It's next to the wild pond on the other side of the mountain. I'll take them there."
I turned around and heard Wu Lan say, "By the way, Dad, now that the new house is built, you and Mom can just move in here! My central air conditioner is on anyway, so it will be so comfortable to sleep at night."
"No, no," Song Youde shook his head quickly, "Your mother and I are not used to air conditioning. Besides, the hard bed in the old house is comfortable to sleep on and it's not far away. What's there to be afraid of?"
"We're going to move the mats over there in a couple of days. Don't let anyone come in and mess up your new house."
Wu Lan laughed: "Not really."
Those who were hired to do the work were not without good sense, and they certainly had to be visited, but it was absolutely impossible to say that someone deliberately messed up the place. After all, most of the people in the village had helped out at home.
"By the way," Song Youde asked again, "When you move into a new house, will you treat everyone to a meal and warm up the house?"
"No."
Wu Lan shook her head: "It's too busy this summer. I can't spare any time. Besides, working and cooking are tiring."
Song Sancheng was a little reluctant - what did he say? The new house has been built, it would be a shame if he didn't show it off.
My seventh cousin didn't feel tired at all.
With the air conditioner on, cooking doesn't seem that hard anymore. The new kitchen is so bright! The chimney also smokes very efficiently, and the room isn't choking at all.
But Wu Lan noticed Song Sancheng's intention and rolled her eyes at him:
"Where's the money? No way."
Building such a nice house, the only one of its kind in the village, people have to give gifts when they come to the banquet, and it is also a personal relationship. Why bother
What's more, the housework is indeed busy now.
Song Youde was quite understanding - if you hosted a big banquet, even if you invited someone special to take care of it, the family would be busy all day long and would be exhausted, so it would be better to have some quiet time.
What's more, people tend to have a mentality of "hating others for what they have and laughing at others for what they don't have". Tan Tan doesn't make enough money now. If her life is only a little better than others, she should keep a low profile to avoid others getting jealous and causing unnecessary trouble.
This honest son of mine is too stupid. If he hadn't married Wulan, who knows what his life would have been like.
He thought about it, and seeing that his son was a little upset, he simply changed the subject:
"By the way, Wulan, didn't you say earlier that you were going to bring the child over from his grandparents? Why didn't you go to pick him up?"
"Your house is well built and has air conditioning. He and his wife are in poor health, so they should stay here longer to recuperate. You have been burdened by family matters over the years and have not been filial to them properly."
"Take advantage of this opportunity, don't waste it."
If the child's grandparents Wulan want to take him in, they can arrange it anytime. But when Song Youde said this, it sounded different.
Wulan happily agreed:
"Okay, then I'll listen to Dad and ask Tan Tan to pick them up today."
Song Youde was also happy - it was the descendants of his Song family who had a promising future!
"Your father can't walk easily now, and he can't sit idle all the time. When people are idle, they tend to think too much, and when they think too much, their bodies tend to collapse. When the grass is dried, I'll bring him two bundles and ask them to make two straw mats for him so he can sleep comfortably."
This is indeed reasonable and well-arranged.
Ulan was very happy.
Although Tan Tan had persuaded the couple long ago, they would definitely only stay for a few days if they came. If they stayed for a long time, she would always feel uncomfortable and inappropriate at her daughter's house.
Now that the child’s grandfather has said this, he can stay as long as he wants!
And then assign them some small tasks, which are not tiring to do, there are people to chat with, and they can help...then they stay longer!
Song Tan was lying on the balcony upstairs, thinking about the wall and what to plant next to it. When he heard this, he immediately spoke:
"Okay, Mom, I'll drive over to pick them up later. It just so happens that—" She giggled:
"Grandpa, I remember my grandpa was really good at weaving bamboo baskets! When I come back to weave straw mats for you, you must pay me back!"
Song Youde raised his eyebrows, and the high spirits of being a boss came out:
"Don't worry, I will definitely not reduce your salary."
…
Song Tan's efficiency in action has always been high.
Having said this, I finished my breakfast, picked up my car keys and set off.
When the car arrived and the rice was carried in, Huan Huanxi said happily: "Uncle, this is the new rice harvested this year. I brought some for you to try."
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Grandma, Grandpa! I'm here to take you to live at home!"
Grandma was still a little unresponsive: "So fast?"
"Not soon." Song Tan laughed, "I told you last time, how long has it been? The house has been cleaned up, just bring a few clothes and you can go over."
Grandma didn't refuse, she just smiled and said, "Okay, then your grandpa and I will go and stay there for a few days."
"That won't do."
Song Tan shook his head: "My grandfather said that my mother has worked so hard at home for so many years. The house has finally been built and it is comfortable to live in. So I want you to live there for a few months!"
"Your grandfather said that?"
Grandpa sitting in the wheelchair turned his head in surprise.
"Yes, that's exactly what my grandfather said. He urged me to pick you up this morning!"
"Grandma, you guys pack up first. I'll talk to my aunt about Brother Wu Lei."
Yes, my aunt is waiting impatiently!
When he saw Song Tan coming, he took a lot of effort to hold back and didn't ask immediately, as if he was very worried.
But in reality, how can we be at ease
Song Tan was also prepared and walked over with his cell phone in hand.
"Aunt, let me tell you! My brother Wu Lei behaves very well at home! He really values friendship and loyalty!"
"I said I would do it with my girlfriend, and I worked really hard."
"I'm not saying this, uncle, you guys shouldn't always criticize him at home. I think he's actually quite capable of working hard, you see—"
She turned on her phone and saw a video of Wu Lei harvesting rice.
"Isn't this a decent job? But on the first day, Qiao Qiao was probably too tired. She said she slept very well that night. She didn't stay up late to play with her phone and fell asleep before 10 o'clock."
"Oh, this is a normal routine!"
Although my aunt was distressed, her eyes showed satisfaction!
"That's how it has to be. He usually stays up late at home, playing games in the middle of the night and still yelling. I feel like if he continues like this, his health will collapse."
Isn’t it
Song Tan opened the photo album again: "Look, Brother Wu Lei is picking watermelons on the mountain. The watermelons are really big. I brought two more in the car. They were prepared by him, but I just forgot to bring them down."
