Chapter 1142 1142. The uncle tried to show
Song Tan's move was quite a bit of a blow to the bottom of the pot.
Isn’t it about falling in love?
Such a superior must be very concerned about what her boyfriend's family thinks of her, right? In this case, it’s better to experience it for yourself.
“Where is the man from?” This is a crucial point. We cannot go to remote areas so lightly.
“They are from Qingcheng.” My eldest aunt said angrily, “I’m not a classmate, but Lingling works in a milk tea shop, and I met her when she came to buy milk tea...”
This is not surprising, Wu Lei, a fool, is liked by Zhu Li, which proves that their family has good looks and good genes.
But the eldest aunt is still a little worried: "What if my family really knows how to coax people..."
It's not that she doesn't want her daughter to fall in love, it's just that she suddenly said that she would take her boyfriend home to celebrate the New Year. Whether this proposal was first brought up by Wu Ling and he didn't refuse it, or it was brought up by someone else... it would inevitably make people feel uncomfortable. Reliable.
Under this premise, the aunt’s resistance is obvious.
Song Tan thought for a while: "No matter what, we have to let Lingling distinguish it by herself. She is a college student and she is far away. We can stop her once, but she will have to keep her eyes open in the future."
"Auntie, don't be nervous, okay? Just give her a chance to practice."
“Just let them come to my place to play during the Chinese New Year... It just so happens that during the Chinese New Year, uncle and you are visiting relatives, and someone has to take care of us here on the riverbank. Just think of it as me inviting Lingling to come and work as a temporary worker.”
Auntie felt relieved now. In fact, this winter, their affairs on the river beach have gradually been transferred to Zhang Wang's family. There are so many dogs and surveillance cameras, and there are people watching the house during the New Year, so there is no need to find anyone else.
It was impossible for Song Tan to place Wu Ling and her boyfriend alone on the river bank. It was just an explanation.
Thinking of this, the aunt looked at her and couldn't tell how grateful she was!
Looking at Lu Chuan again, she made up her mind that when the two get married, she would privately subsidize a big gift!
…
The rice noodles were really delicious, and Lu Chuan’s craftsmanship was impressive. Everyone held the bowls and ate. Cake rolls are served as dessert after a meal and stuffed into the stomach. I don’t know how comfortable it is to sit around the fire in this winter, and the tip of my nose is almost sweating.
After eating and drinking, my uncle mentioned another thing.
“Tantan, there is not much work in this winter, how about I build a ridge for the lotus root planting next year?”
What the uncle was talking about was Professor Song’s previous plan to plant lotus roots in the shallow water area on one side of the river beach.
From lotus leaves to lotus seeds to lotus roots, everything can produce economic benefits. In addition, the area of the river beach is really vast, so a 100-acre lotus root area was directly arranged.
Winter is now the dry season, and large areas of water on the riverbank have receded, exposing patches of water bottom. This is a good time whether it is plowing or building dams.
When Professor Song explained in detail, my uncle followed along and listened to every word. Although I can’t remember too much now, I have seen a few sample pictures.
He remembered that other people’s lotus root fields were fenced off, or planted directly in ponds. She was on the edge of a river beach, and there were still fish in the river. Shouldn’t she also block it?
Song Tan shook his head: "No, just plant it like this. I don't plan to manage the lotus roots. By then, they will bloom in summer and the water will rise. You can also take a boat to see the scenery."
The uncle frowned and said, "What are you going to do about raising fish? Grass carp will eat everything. Don't eat all the lotus root sprouts later."
This is an area that Song Tan has never thought about: "Cathed carp still eats this?" "It doesn't eat anything?" The uncle vowed: "In the past, grass carp ate lotus roots and strangled themselves to death. You plant them by the river. If you don’t stop, there will definitely be losses.”
It was also the first time for Lu Chuan to hear such a pastoral story, and he was particularly attentive at the moment. Hearing this, he asked curiously: "Is grass carp so powerful?"
“Yes!” The uncle saw that he listened carefully and was happy to speak:
“Grass carp doesn’t pick anything and eats everything. In summer before, didn’t we cut corn leaves to feed the fish in Tantana fish pond? The leaves didn’t even need to be cut, they were just thrown into the pond and they were robbed.”
Lu Chuan had never seen such a scene before, and turned to look at Song Tan at this moment.
He didn't say anything, but Song Tan nodded: "Don't worry, there are fun and interesting things happening in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Just stay here and watch and accumulate more materials."
Lu Chuan laughed, with layers of smiles on his fair face, and his whole person looked happy. I asked my eldest aunt to take a look, and then thought about my troubled children, and let out a long sigh silently.
But Song Tan thought about it, and still blocked his uncle's good intention to block the dam - this was not an easy job, but to stack the silt underneath to raise it layer by layer. There was no way to use machines, it was purely manual work. Over time, it was too hard.
She simply said: "Now that the lotus roots have been planted, I can just set up a temporary barrier and then withdraw after the lotus roots grow to a large size."
Uncle always felt that he got too much from Song Tan, and always wanted to do something for her. After thinking about it, he stared at the large reeds on the other side of the river:
"Aren't you going to plant pasture in the spring? Why don't I cut that area over in the winter? I thought the water there is shallow, so I should be able to plant it."
Song Tan:…
Lu Chuan frowned slightly and turned to look at Song Tan.
Song Tan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! Never! This large reed swamp is so beautiful! Just grow enough pasture for our cattle and sheep, and there is no need to have too much."
This reed field is not only beautiful, it often attracts some wild ducks and birds, and as the wild ducks come, they are slowly taken under Dabai's command...
Of course, delicious food is also very important.
Going to the duck pen now, after raising this duck for a year, there are more than a dozen more ducks.
A dozen ducks are not necessarily rare to Song Tan, but when Lu Chuan came to the river beach two days ago, he kept taking pictures of the reeds. It seemed that he really liked them.
The uncle was a little disappointed: "You can keep it...there are a lot of wild ducks...Do you want to tidy up the rocky slopes on both sides of the cliff? I heard that you are going to plant something next year?"
Song Tan was really helpless.
Looking at Lu Chuan again, he was no longer worried about the reeds. Instead, he was smiling and watching Song Tan and his uncle coming and going with interest.
“It’s okay. Uncle, there’s no need to clean up. There’s nothing we can plant next year, just mugwort and wild chrysanthemums. Just let them grow freely.”
"Don't go up the cliffs on both sides! They are all movable rocks and are not stable. Just scatter wild chrysanthemum seeds in them. If the lambs jump up and eat them if they like, they can eat them. They grow fast and it won't affect anything."
When autumn comes and the air is crisp, the bitter fragrance of wild chrysanthemums on both sides of the cliff is accompanied by the river breeze...
Ah! Song Tan thought it was beautiful even when she thought about it.
Update 2, good night. There are grass carps that eat lotus roots and stuff themselves to death... that's what happened in my grandma's pond. There is also the magpie nest on the big tree in front of our house...the two magpie thieves will choose the place, like scouts. The place I chose was opposite the kitchens of two families, and I went in every day to steal things, including eggs.
