The grandpas kept their word and said they would arrive at four or five in the afternoon, but they were already in Yuncheng at three-thirty.
Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, had no choice but to look around the dormitory again.
She had prepared the dormitory before, and the sheets and bedding were neatly packed. Although the house in the country was a bit cold, the air conditioning could be turned on in the room. Moreover, the old Song family also has a large room with a stove and a heater in the living room. Party Secretary Xiao Zhu feels that it is quite comfortable to actually live there.
Now let’s talk about food expenses.
The accommodation fee was agreed to be 1,000 a month, so Ulan said: "That's your grandfather, he's not an outsider. We've discussed the accommodation fee before, and the food expenses if you eat in the canteen don't count."
In summer, I receive a lot of good wine and cigarettes from others.
"That won't work," Party Secretary Xiao Zhu disagreed: "One yard is one yard, and my grandpa and the others are here for ten people! If this doesn't count the money, you will suffer a big loss."
Is there no cost for cooking in the mountain canteen?
Ulan was quite embarrassed to say this: "Then the rent for a house in our village is less than 1,000 a month."
Xiaozhu Zhishu was happy: "Auntie, don't worry about your family so much next year. Take Qiaoqiao for a trip. The B&B outside will cost two to three hundred yuan a night."
“You will know after seeing it more. For people who are accustomed to traveling, this money is really nothing.”
“Besides, those who fish in the summer still have to pay 3,000 yuan a month for food and accommodation, and they still live in staff dormitories.”
Even so, Ulan was embarrassed: "There are so many fishermen to eat... You are all elderly people... How about this? You can stay here first."
She did the math: "Aren't there five rooms for your grandpa, and one room for you? You won't be able to live here for less than a month anyway, so for ten days and a half, just 1,000 for a room will be fine."
Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, had no choice but to settle the accounts with Ulan, so she simply transferred the money directly to Song Tan:
【Food expenses are 100 per person per day, and accommodation expenses are 5,000 for you. Don't go back, please. 】
Song Tan who was talking to the seventh cousin:…
She received the payment quickly: "Okay, I will bring you two more kilograms of tobacco leaves for your grandfather." I took the money, you tell my mother. 】
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, was satisfied: If there are comings and goings, it will last forever!
The seventh cousin saw that she was silent and felt embarrassed at the moment: "Tan Tan, I promised your aunt before that you would provide for us in old age and I would give you a house... Now they want to buy a house and live in it when their granddaughter comes to school. You go to the city and look at another apartment.”
He promised: "I have money."
Song Tan was helpless: "I told you a long time ago that none of us care about that house - who lives in it? I bought it long ago if I wanted to."
“Seventh cousin, you go to the city tomorrow to notarize the parts of the agreement that need to be notarized. Brother Yanping and the others will have the foundation for the house, and your son will have the homestead and the foundation for the newly built house later on. No matter what, neither party will suffer.”
It would be okay if Grandpa Seventh Cousin and the others were gone and his son regretted it and wanted this house in the village.
There are so many empty houses up and down Tanshan in Song Dynasty, how can we do without them?
She muttered as she spoke: "I already said that they would be given a single dormitory for each of them. This is what Teacher Xin wants. Why are you planning to buy a house now..."
The seventh cousin breathed a sigh of relief, and now he laughed at her: "You don't understand, they live here comfortably, but in the end it is your place. When we talk about friends again, they feel uncomfortable... They have their own place It’s better to feel at ease.”
“Besides, our family is applying for a homestead. It’s a small courtyard after all, and it’s different from your dormitory... Otherwise, why would they come to me? Wouldn’t it be safer to switch with you directly?”
Looking at the whole village, there is currently no one who is more reassuring than the seventh cousin's family. It’s the seventh cousin who is obsessed with the matter of old-age care. At this moment, he mentioned again: “You’d better go and see a house...”
Song Tan frowned and said, "Don't worry about it! At first, I said that this house was given to me after I took care of myself. Now it's the seventh cousin who cooks and supports us. Why do you look so sorry for me?"
“Don’t worry about no one caring for you in old age. Qiao Qiao has been taught so well now, even if we are unreliable, he will still take care of us!”
She coaxed the old couple: "Don't worry!"
Cousin Seven and Grandma Seven sighed, and suddenly came over again, lowering their voices: "Then you take the time to take Qiao Qiao to the town to apply for a bank card, and give me 2,000 of my monthly salary into the card... This is Don’t touch the money I saved for Qiaoqiao!”
“Both of us have medical insurance, pension insurance, and savings. We won’t spend much money when we get old.”
Song Tan:…
That's a good idea, don't think about it next time!
He was also worried that she would neglect Qiao Qiao after she got married... Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay! Let's do it like this!"
Seeing the old couple happily going to the kitchen to make dinner, Song Tan also breathed a sigh of relief: It's really troublesome, and she doesn't want to bother with this matter anymore.
You still have to rely on the all-powerful Xiaozhu Secretary!
At this moment, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu also happened to look at her: "Song Tan, my grandpa and the others will arrive in half an hour."
"Okay, my mother has prepared some good tea... It's almost night, are they okay with drinking tea?"
Xiao Zhu Party Secretary: ...or forget it.
As for the tea from Lao Song's family, the foam in the tea leaves doesn't have that much of an impact when you drink it. If it was really good tea, you would have to stir up the whole night.
"By the way," Party Secretary Xiao Zhu remembered something else: "I see that every household in the village has prepared radish and cabbage. Are the people you contacted before sure to buy it?"
Song Tan nodded: "Don't worry, you can eat as much as you want - but it's best to sell them one by one, so that there is a time lag for retail sales in the market."
She took out her mobile phone: "I'll call Lao Zhao first. Are you okay now? Why don't you go to Aunt Li's house and ask if it's for sale?"
Turnips and cabbages are very good at weighing. Even though they didn’t ask for many seedlings at the beginning, if they really had to plant them, they would weigh hundreds of kilograms in front of and behind the house.
There are also many people who directly plant vegetables in the fields. Even though there are not many families in the village, the output is really quite large.
Over here, Lao Zhao's call was also answered: "Have you started selling radish and cabbage? Okay, you name a price, and I'll take 1,000 kilograms each first."
“We’ll pick it up again in two or three days.”
Although Lao Zhao is usually very careful about calculations and searching, now that we have been working together for a long time, he is extremely happy.
So Song Tan also said bluntly: "I haven't tasted it yet. After I taste it tomorrow, we will discuss the price and then quote it to you, but it should not be less than 5 yuan."
Five yuan is really a sky-high price for the price of radish and cabbage in the vegetable market today. But Lao Zhao and Song Tan have been cooperating for more than half a year, and now when I hear it, I can’t believe how affordable the price is!
If Song Tan hadn't said before that he couldn't give him all the food in the village, he would have really wanted to shout:
“I’ve got it all covered!”
Update 1, I vowed to write early today, but I was sealed by the bed, so I can’t blame it entirely...
