Sun Yanyan finished mumbling, then she remembered the important matter: "Dad, Mom asked you to buy a pot of oil and bring it back. I will help you look after the store first, and you can also pick up the child by the way."
Her daughter Song Ziyi now has the education of a senior kindergarten student, but today, Saturday, she went to a nearby interest class to learn chess.
Song Dafang was furious—raising children is a debt!
They raised a son and a daughter, but now the old couple has not enjoyed any happiness at their old age.
Not only do I have to support my son and his family of three, I also have to pay for my granddaughter's tuition, pick her up, cook for her, wash dishes, and do laundry...
Look, the shrewd daughter-in-law refuses to spend a penny herself and even waits for him to buy a barrel of oil.
It's really your destiny to be a slave all your life!
He was filled with resentment, but when he arrived at the entrance of the interest class with the oil drum, he saw his granddaughter. The little girl, with a big bow on her head, ran over happily, her voice bright and sweet:
"grandfather!"
"Why!"
Song Dafang instantly forgot the unpleasantness just now and felt happy about it.
The family returned to the community behind the store and opened the door. Mao Li, who was cooking in the kitchen, had already rushed out, complaining:
"You old man, I asked you to buy a barrel of oil, but you only came back now and are waiting to put it into the pot!"
At the same time, I looked at the small basket of vegetables in his hand, which were fresh, tender and juicy. I couldn't help but wonder: "What did you buy?"
He took it and looked at it: "Oh, this is Chinese asparagus. I haven't eaten it for decades. It's just right to stir-fry it for lunch."
Song Dafang quickly said, "Tan Tan brought Qiao Qiao to deliver it this morning. He said he was selling vegetables at the riverside vegetable market during this period."
"What?"
Mao Li was startled suddenly.
"Selling vegetables? Doesn't Tan Tan work in Ning Province? Why are you back selling vegetables?"
Sun Yanyan had already changed her shoes and squeezed over, taking a look at the dish: "This thing is not worth much, and it won't taste good if it's not fresh. Taking so much... I can't even give it to my neighbors."
Seeing Song Dafang's face getting even uglier, Mao Li knew that he disliked what his daughter-in-law said, so she quickly added, "It's a token of my appreciation. Let's stir-fry it for lunch."
Song Dafang snorted coldly and took his granddaughter to watch TV.
Meanwhile, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were picking vegetables together and chatting:
"Mom, Tan Tan drove a shabby pickup truck here today and said she wanted to stay in her hometown to farm. These vegetables were sent here from their leftovers."
"Oh my!" Mao Li really didn't expect it: "She stayed in her hometown to farm? She is a girl, and she can save face by staying in Ningcheng to work and say that she has free time. Now that she is back in her hometown, what will she do about finding a partner in the future?"
"that is."
Sun Yanyan also sighed seriously:
"You said that Tantan has a stupid brother. It's hard to say whether he will get married in the future. Now he has returned to his hometown. Who would want to marry a girl who works as a farmer?"
"Hey, I was originally saying that I met a young man recently. His family has a house and a car. The young man and his family are all capable. I was planning to introduce him to her!"
"After all, Tan Tan is really beautiful. She looks even better this time! Her skin is white and translucent. It's good to be young. I think the stars on TV can't compare to her."
Mao Li also sighed: "Yes, both of your uncle's children are good-looking."
"If you meet the right person, you have to introduce them to each other. They are all relatives."
"If you ask me, it's not easy for their family. Look at your father, he was very capable when he was young, and he earned some money in our city. Now at least he doesn't have to worry about food and drink."
"What about your uncle? When they were young, they insisted on being stuck in their hometown. They didn't even pay attention to the birth of their children. Look at Qiao Qiao, what a good boy he is. How could he be a fool?"
"They have worked hard throughout their lives, but their vision is too narrow. Now they are still staying in their hometown, and the money they have in their pockets is probably not enough for the down payment."
As they talked, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had more to talk about. Sun Yanyan thought for a moment:
"How old is Qiao Qiao?"
"Eighteen years old, right?" Mao Li couldn't remember clearly.
Sun Yanyan pondered for a moment and said, "If you ask me, given Qiao Qiao's current condition, we need to find him a wife as soon as possible. With a wife to look after him, my uncle and his family can go out to work and earn more money, so they don't have to worry about their retirement in the future."
"After all, Qiao Qiao is in such a condition that he can't be relied upon for retirement."
"Yes," Mao Li felt that her daughter-in-law really hit the nail on the head:
"I've said it before, we have to carry on the family line, right? Qiao Qiao is such a good guy, if he gets married and has a grandson, maybe that grandson will be fine."
"While your uncle and his family are still young, raise their grandson. This way, they will have someone to rely on in the future."
Song Dafang just opened the refrigerator to get something, and glared at them when he heard this:
"What are you talking about? Sancheng stayed at home to take care of our parents, which would save us a lot of trouble, and you are still messing around behind our backs!"
Sun Yanyan curled her lips but didn't refute.
But mother-in-law Mao Li was not happy:
"What are you talking about? We are doing this for his own good. Qiao Qiao is in this state, and they don't have a grandson. What will they do when they get old? Don't let yourself serve your parents and your brothers at the same time!"
Song Dafang also glared at her:
"How can we find a wife for Qiao Qiao if he's like this? Besides, if he's born with a brain problem, how are you going to let him and his family live?"
"this… "
Mao Li was also stumped by the question.
Sun Yanyan said quickly: "How can it be so absolute? Marry a wife first to take care of him. Don't look for those smart girls. A silly and honest one will help you get by."
"Besides, when it comes to having children, medicine is so advanced nowadays that we can tell if there are any problems during pregnancy. If there are any problems, then don't have the baby."
"Dad, don't be angry. My mom loves you too."
"Grandpa and grandma are back home, so we'll have to spend money and labor. If my uncle lives a good life, we can relax too."
"If he becomes a burden in the future, you will definitely not stand idly by and watch."
"Aren't you worried that you will be burdened by the time?"
Song Dafang paused for a moment, and finally said nothing. He just closed the refrigerator door and walked back to the living room heavily.
…
At noon, his son Song Xuehai came back from work, and the family hurriedly prepared to serve the food.
There was a plate of green vegetables on the table that he had never seen before. Song Xuehai couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"
"I know, I know!"
Granddaughter Song Ziyi said: "Grandpa said that this was sent by Brother Qiao Qiao."
Song Xuehai laughed at her: "I told you, don't call me brother, call me uncle."
However, his daughter ignored him and just awkwardly stretched out her quickie: "I want to eat the food that Brother Qiao Qiao sent me."
The fresh and tender green vegetables are stir-fried with minced garlic, emitting an enticing fragrance on the table.
Song Ziyi bit down with a "Ah Wu", and then couldn't wait to stretch out her penis again:
"The dishes that Brother Qiao Qiao brought are so delicious, the best in the world!"
"You kid, how many things have you eaten?" Song Dafang glanced at her and then picked up a piece of food as well.
As soon as it enters the mouth, the taste seems to be very different.
By the time the family came to their senses, the plate was empty.
Song Ziyi was watching blankly and suddenly burst into tears: "I want to eat more, I'm not full!"
Mao Li quickly cleared the plates: "Don't cry, don't cry, grandma will make it right away, there are still a lot of left."
Sun Yanyan also came over, still unsatisfied: "Mom, why don't we fry the rest? It really tastes good."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you go to the riverside market when you buy vegetables tomorrow? It's not right not to take care of your family's business."
