"Uncle!"
Song Tan brought Qiao Qiao and saw the gray-haired Song Dafang sitting at the door of the store from a distance, staring at his phone without blinking:
"Yes, 7!"
"Yes, Q!"
"I can't bear it!"
"You played your cards really well..."
Song Dafang looked up in his busy schedule and was instantly surprised when he saw her: "Tan Tan? Why are you back?"
He glanced at Qiao Qiao again: "Qiao Qiao is here too? Have you eaten—"
"Hurry up, the flowers I've been waiting for have all wilted!" The loud voice on the phone shouted without hesitation.
Song Dafang was instantly embarrassed and tried to quit in a panic, but was stopped by Song Tan: "It's okay, uncle. We are family, so we are not in a hurry. Just finish this game first!"
The uncle hesitated for a moment, then cautiously played a card. He quickly slapped his thigh in joy and said, "Good! I finally caught your king!"
Qiao Qiao came over curiously, and then their heads were pressed together, immersed in the world of Landlord.
Song Tan also took this opportunity to look around the hardware store.
This is a shop that was bought many years ago, and the decoration is very old. The shop now only serves old customers, so I am particularly casual about the organization.
Looking at the messy piles of hardware on the shelves, she believed that no one except her uncle could find the goods accurately!
Fortunately, maybe the opponent in this game of Landlord was too weak. The game ended in less than two minutes and the landlord burst into tears of sadness.
Song Dafang then remembered: "Isn't Tantan in Ningcheng? Why is she back?"
Song Tan smiled and said, "Uncle, I quit my job and I'm farming at home this year. This is the Chinese astragalus my mother asked me to bring. I've been selling it at the riverside vegetable market before, but I specially kept it here today!"
Qiao Qiao reluctantly turned his eyes away from his phone, puffed out his chest, and showed his QR code again:
"Twenty yuan a pound!"
Song Dafang: …
He looked at the small basket of vegetables in his hand, probably about three or five handfuls... Twenty yuan a pound
This silly child, how can this be twenty
As for this sweet clover, who hasn’t eaten it when they were a child? Even twenty yuan for all of it is too expensive!
He picked up his phone and pretended to scan the code: "Oh, silly child, you still don't know how to count? Two yuan a pound, hahaha! Come on, uncle will give you money to buy vegetables!
Song Tan was instantly embarrassed.
She was very embarrassed to receive the money, but if the uncle really paid two yuan per pound, then it would probably be the two of them who would be embarrassed in the future.
At this moment, he laughed dryly and quickly pulled Qiao Qiao over: "Be good, I won't charge you now."
"oh."
Qiao Qiao blinked, then said, "I want all the flowers to wither, too!"
Song Tan: …
She was stunned for a moment before she realized that he wanted to play the same game of Landlord, so she quickly took out her cell phone and opened a single-player game.
Seeing Qiao Qiao sitting on the small stool and clicking blindly, Song Dafang couldn't help but reveal a trace of regret in his eyes:
"Look how well behaved this child is, and how good he looks."
"Your parents have taken good care of you. These past few years haven't been easy."
Then he looked at the astragalus in the small basket and couldn't help but feel nostalgic: "I haven't eaten it in many years... I didn't have anything to eat when I was a child, so I bought this."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered: "What did you just say? Are you back to farm?"
Before Song Tan could answer, he heard a voice from the side: "Who's back to farm?"
The person who came was Song Dafang’s daughter-in-law, Sun Yanyan.
Song Tan greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law."
Sun Yanyan's eyes lit up: "Oh, Tan Tan is back? You see, Ning Cheng is a good caretaker. He has raised you to such a good temperament and beauty! Just like a star - who just said he came back to farm? It can't be you, hahaha..."
Song Tan nodded with a smile: "It's me."
Sun Yanyan's laughter was stuck at that moment.
Song Tan had long been accustomed to it, and now he explained slowly: "The work pressure in Ningcheng is too great, and my body is about to be broken. My parents are old, so I might as well come back to rest for two years and accompany them."
As for whether the other party accepts this reason or not, she has no control over it.
Sun Yanyan smiled awkwardly: "That's fine, you're a girl, you don't have a share of the things in your hometown, and Qiao Qiao can't manage the family land in this state. It's just right that the land can be divided with him, and you can help take care of it, so you won't suffer any loss."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Qiao suddenly raised her head and glared at her, retorting: "Qiao Qiao can farm by herself! Qiao Qiao doesn't need anyone to take care of her! Qiao Qiao can grow corn to support her sister! Humph!"
He was really angry.
Sun Yanyan's face was full of laughter: "Oh my god, look at what he said, it seems quite true! Tan Tan, when you find a partner in the future, you must tell them about it, and you can't treat Qiao Qiao badly."
This seems to be well-intentioned, but it makes people unhappy when they say it. Song Tan has only a few impressions of his sister-in-law in his memory, and he didn't realize that she was such a person.
Song Tan was too lazy to pay attention to her.
At this moment, he nodded to Song Dafang who was standing aside in silence and awkwardness: "Uncle, we still need to send some more food to Aunt's house, so we'll leave first."
He patted Qiao Qiao's arm again and said, "Let's go, dear."
Qiao Qiao had forgotten her anger just now and handed the phone back: "Why didn't he say: I waited until the flowers withered?"
Song Tan thought, you play cards so fast that the computer can't keep up, how can you have the chance to say this
However, before he could say anything, Qiao Qiao suddenly remembered something, turned around, took two steps, and then puffed out his chest in an extremely skillful manner:
"Sweep here! Twenty dollars a pound!"
Song Tan almost laughed out loud!
If he really was asked to scan the code, my uncle would be so embarrassed. It's not possible.
After all, Sun Yanyan is Sun Yanyan, and she remembers the uncle who was so kind to them!
So I quickly explained, "Uncle, Qiao Qiao is just playing. But you should eat this astragalus as soon as possible, otherwise it will become stale. I sell it at the riverside vegetable market, and it is indeed 20 yuan per pound."
…
When the hardware store returned to silence, Sun Yanyan put away her body, as if she had made a major discovery:
"Dad, did you see that? Tantan and his family drove here today. Could this be the car that my uncle bought for his family? It doesn't look new, so it must be a second-hand car!"
Song Dafang's face was gloomy: "You have said everything you can."
As a father-in-law, he criticized his daughter-in-law for being unreasonable. But today, Tan Tan came to deliver food, so why couldn't he say anything nice? Why did he have to pick out those two sentences
Of course, as an old-fashioned male chauvinist, Song Dafang did feel that rural land had nothing to do with girls, but he never said it out loud!
Besides, his nephew is like this, and his daughter-in-law's words hurt both of them, right
Sun Yanyan curled her lips: "Qiao Qiao has been stupid for 10 to 20 years, is she still afraid of what people say? I am just reminding them out of kindness. Tan Tan is pretty, she will find someone with a good family background. Telling them in advance will save them from being picky!"
