Auntie looked at Wu Lei working seriously on the phone and felt happy but sad:
"I've raised him for decades, but I've never seen him do anything for me. He has a girlfriend, and he believes whatever she says..."
Song Tan pretended not to hear this, and instead kept praising:
"Otherwise, how can you say that you are good at educating children, aunt? My brother Wu Lei is a little rebellious, but he is very proactive when working in the mountains!"
"My dad told him not to pick watermelons this morning, but he saw that my uncle Zhang's legs were not good, so he was very enthusiastic and insisted on doing it!"
"My uncle Zhang really likes him. He praises him from morning till night and even called my dad to tell him..."
"Really? Don't just say nice things..." My aunt looked unconvinced, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride:
"I've always said that your brother Wu Lei is a bit stubborn, but he's not a bad person by nature. Look, he just needs some exercise to be fine."
Which mother in the world doesn’t have the same mentality as my aunt
Even a bald-headed son is better than your own!
Song Tan accepted it without any obstacles, and even praised it: "That's it!"
"Oh, aunt, how about this? Wait a few more days and give Wu Lei a break. It's too hard to keep working like this without a break."
"That won't do."
Flattery is flattery, but the aunt-in-law is still rational - this kid is willing to devote himself to doing farm work in Tan Tan's house for the sake of his girlfriend, so he must still have the determination to buy a house... He still needs to practice more!
Song Tan smiled and didn't force it, but...
My aunt has said it all, Brother Wu Lei, Brother Wu Lei, for the next two months, you will not have single-day weekends off or double-day weekends off, and you will not be allowed to ask for leave... That’s not too much, right
She quickly changed the subject:
"Come on, aunt, let's go together and pick up the watermelons that Brother Wu Lei picked especially for you! The ones he picked are all very big, and he was very careful!"
All the fields are this big, and since he moved them all, they are all the same.
When she opened the car door, what appeared in front of my aunt were indeed two huge watermelons, the heads of which were almost as big as winter melons.
"This silly child..." My aunt couldn't help but laugh and scolded again, "These melons aren't his, why is he so generous? These two melons can be sold for a lot of money, why give them to us?"
"Besides, how long will it take for your uncle and I to finish eating such a big watermelon?"
But he couldn't help smacking his lips again, remembering the taste of the watermelons Song Tan gave him last time - he had been dreaming about watermelons those days.
If I hadn’t been an elder and knew that Tan Tan was going to sell it for a high price, I wouldn’t have been too embarrassed to ask for it... I would probably have settled down in the watermelon field by now!
You know what, the watermelon picked by Leilei is just great - it must be very enjoyable for the two of them to share such a big watermelon, right
Song Tan said seriously, "How come it's not our own? My brother Wu Lei works so hard just for his family. Not to mention two, even twenty would be worth it."
"Aunt, please don't be picky. This is all from Brother Wu Lei's heart."
My aunt-in-law picked up a melon with a grunt, and she was even more moved.
…
As we chatted, time passed.
Song Tan checked the time and said, "Grandma, have you packed your things? Let's go if you have, or it will be too hot later."
"alright."
Grandma was smiling, but she looked a little uncomfortable - after all, it was so awkward for both of them to go to their daughter's house!
However, I finally figured it out:
"I want to enjoy the blessing of my granddaughter and live in your big house!"
Song Tan took the initiative to push grandpa's wheelchair over. Just as my uncle was about to come over to help grandpa sit in the seat, he saw Song Tan had easily picked up the increasingly thin old man, put him in the back seat of the car, and fastened his seat belt.
Then, the wheelchair was also secured in the back of the car.
"Oh my!"
This surprised the grandfather: "Tan Tan is so strong now! You have done so much work at home!"
"Girls, don't show off your ability. People who are capable have to work hard..." In this regard, grandma also imparted her tricks:
"Our Tantan is such a good person. When she gets married, she must work less."
Song Tan laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, when we get married, I will pretend to be stupid and know nothing."
"That won't work either."
Grandma was afraid that she would go too far: "We don't do hard work. We only do work that is free and can show off. We can't endure hardship, and we can't let others pick on us..."
What a simple idea of being a daughter-in-law!
But it does make sense.
Song Tan dealt with it while starting the car.
But it was too early for her to be happy, as her grandmother's care obviously went beyond that.
After getting in the car, grandma was still asking:
"Tan Tan, it's been two years since you graduated. When are you going to find a partner?"
"What kind of person are you looking for? I'll ask someone about it."
Song Tan's heart shuddered.
She can still joke around with her mom, but with elders like her grandma...if she wants to find out, she really has to use connections!
This time she didn't dare to talk about harvesting rice and digging tea trees, so she racked her brains:
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm still young."
"Grandma knows you are young!"
Otherwise, why do they say that older ginger is spiciest
The old lady looked at her granddaughter with a smile... She was perfect in every way!
"Being young doesn't prevent you from finding a partner."
"Don't worry, I'm not rushing you to get married. You can date for two years and then get married when you're twenty-four or twenty-five, which is a good time to have a child..."
Oh my god!
Song Tan's heart was trembling.
Her grandma thought of everything very carefully!
If I sit in the car for another half an hour, I’m afraid I’ve already figured out which university my child will go to!
It’s a pity that I lost the opportunity, and now it’s even harder to say.
Song Tan had no choice but to pretend to be deep:
"I haven't even tidied up the ground at home yet, so I don't have the time."
"Dating doesn't interfere with your work, so why don't you have the time?"
As a person who has experienced this, my grandmother has her own set of reasons:
"Nowadays, young people don't need to do anything when they are in love. Isn't there someone else doing the housework? Why should you do anything? Just go and date! Go to the movies, go shopping... Isn't it more fun than doing farm work at home?"
Song Tan thought, there really is no comparison!
Sure enough, no matter how old a person is, he still has to have his own career and pursuits.
Her grandmother has been doing farm work and taking care of her grandfather at home for many years, and now it seems more difficult for her to communicate than her grandmother.
But don't be afraid, Fairy Tan has her own way.
Then she also sighed:
"Grandma, this is what I think - Qiao Qiao is learning a craft, and I'm farming at home. We're all just learning by trial and error."
"For the next two years, let's not think about dating. I'll let Qiao Qiao learn the skills first so that she can take care of herself in the future."
"I'll just save more money so my parents don't have to worry about their retirement. When I have money in my hands, won't I be able to choose a partner who is of equal status and better conditions?"
