Chapter 110 110. The uncle’s family is coming
This is an old rule in the village. If there are descendants in the family, they always have to take time to visit the grave before Qingming Festival.
However, when the grandchildren come, they are no longer needed. They stay with their grandfather Song Youde.
The graves of the old Song family are on the barren hill assigned by the uncle.
It's a little far away. You have to go around the back mountain and walk forward for ten or twenty minutes to get there.
There is no way, I divided that piece when it was first divided.
But although it was a bit far away, Uncle Song, as the eldest son, had a total of fifty acres of mountains and fields, which was far better than the Song Tan family.
Nowadays, they are all still tea mountain wastelands, and no one cares about them anymore.
But Song Sancheng was also satisfied - according to the old rule, more of the family wealth should be given to the boss. What could he have to say about it? It was convenient for him to be close to his house!
He said with a bit of regret: "It would be great if you told me to come back earlier. We can go to the fields tomorrow to cut some milkvetch and ask your uncle and aunt to take them away."
The ground is being dug up now, and they will all be buried in the ground tomorrow.
Song Tan smiled, thinking what a coincidence!
She didn’t say much, she just gave one instruction:
“Dad, we can’t even give you tea and honey, we still owe money.”
As soon as Song Sancheng said this, the pressure first rose.
“That’s not possible. It’s so expensive that I’m not even willing to drink it.”
Song Tan added: "Don't drink our good tea this year tomorrow. Otherwise, if the uncle says it's good to drink, will you say the price or not?"
I told you, but people didn’t believe it. Secondly, I am afraid of exposing my wealth.
Don't tell me, you are hesitant, you can't even part with your own tea, it's outrageous to say it out loud!
The same goes for honey.
Song Sancheng was sincere and not stupid. He looked confused at this moment: "You really don't want to drink? I'm still thinking..."
What can he ponder? The old man just has a good face and wants to show off!
Now that I figured it out, I could only sigh again: "Why did I come back just when the milkvetch was gone? In previous years, I came back at the end of March!"
Why?
Aunt Mao Li and her daughter-in-law Sun Yanyan are angry!
Ever since the eldest aunt and Song Tan broke up in a bad fight at the vegetable market, she became more and more suffocated because of her thoughts. When she got home, she told Sun Yanyan about the twenty yuan a pound of milk vetch.
Sun Yanyan didn’t believe it at first.
But at night Song Ziyi was crying and making trouble in the room, and after wanting to eat the food brought by brother Qiaoqiao, she still thought:
“Mom, I’m looking at my uncle’s food this year. Maybe it’s really the price!”
“Think about it, what kind of food can taste so good? So many people are willing to eat it now!”
But if it costs twenty yuan a pound, and the milkvetch grown in the fields does not require capital, then it is still a huge profit?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made an appointment to wait at the vegetable market early in the morning. It was almost noon when they saw the broken pickup truck parked on the roadside.
In less than half an hour, the food was all gone, and many people bought it back by the pound as if it was no money at all.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood there and counted. In just half an hour, one or two hundred kilograms were sold!
In just a short time, I got two or three thousand. Making money is like mowing grass. Why is it so easy!
Neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law spoke.
When I got home, I muttered: "No wonder Tantan was so stubborn last time. It turns out that the family has become rich."
Uncle Song couldn’t believe it when he heard them muttering about the grand scene of the vegetable market:
"Really twenty yuan a pound? I thought Qiao Qiao said something stupid last time." "That's not true," Sun Yanyan sat aside and ate melon seeds:
"Dad, you are just too honest with your family. Look at my brother-in-law, he can make money with such evil intentions from the wild vegetables in the field. He feels very generous to send a three or five kilograms to our house, and we are grateful. Woolen cloth."
“What nonsense!” Uncle Song didn’t want to say more to his daughter-in-law, so he asked Mao Li: “You really saw it, is it that price?”
The eldest aunt rolled her eyes: "How many times have I told you, can I be wrong? I went to buy it, but I didn't realize it was this price. The money I gave was less, and she even laughed at me."
“Really, they earn a little money in the countryside, but they still hide it when they go out, for fear that we will be greedy or something. Who has no land?”
Uncle Song was sitting there with a bad look on his face.
Therefore, when my aunt Song Hongmei called at the end of the month and asked when she would return to her hometown, the couple whined and declined:
“The store is a bit busy during this period, in a couple of days…”
This dragging, seeing Qingming is about to pass, this cannot be dragged to Qingming!
Then the date was set in a hurry.
Aunt Song Hongmei didn't leave the stall this morning. She felt distressed for something. She looked around at home again and finally reluctantly carried a pot of oil and cut the meat again.
The couple then took the bus and arrived at Uncle Song’s door.
There is no other meaning, I just want to take a car and go back together.
I happened to see their family loading things into the car.
Son Song Xuehai is responsible for picking up the children and going to work today. Uncle Song drove Mao Li, Sun Yanyan and Song Hongmei back.
When Song Hongmei arrived, she saw Sun Yanyan and Mao Li putting a large plastic frame like those used in wholesale markets for fruit on the back seat of the car, and also took a few plastic bags.
She was puzzled, but she didn’t ask. She just said to Uncle Song:
“Brother, what are you going to buy when you go back? I brought a pot of oil and a piece of meat for our parents. Remember not to buy the same thing.”
Sun Yanyan called her aunt sweetly, then looked at the things in her hands and praised her repeatedly: "Oh, my aunt is so considerate. Look at this meat, how fresh it is! Was it cut at the market this morning?"
“And this oil, it’s also good oil. It costs tens of dollars a barrel in the supermarket!”
Who doesn’t like to hear compliments?
The aunt also said: "No, I didn't even leave the stall today!"
Her heart ached when she thought about the money she had not earned, and then she thought about the meat and the oil...
well!
How to put it this way, it would be great if you could buy anything in the world without spending money.
But the person who was busy talking suddenly remembered: "Oh, last time Tantan sent me a basket of milkvetch, it tastes so good!"
As he spoke, there was a look of remorse on his face - I originally planned to eat for two or three days, but I never thought that it would be gone without a meal.
There was a big extra pot of rice.
She sighed: "I don't know if there are any vegetables in the fields. I have to go to the vegetable garden to take a look when I get home."
Sun Yanyan felt contempt in her heart.
The only person who can talk about taking advantage so straightforwardly is her aunt, a first-rate stingy person.
However, this idea coincides with my own family.
She then responded with a smile: "Yes, some of them were sent over last time. That's right... Oops, I asked Baba to send it over. It was only a small amount, and Ziyi couldn't finish the whole meal."
“You can take more this time.”
