Song Tan painted cakes in the air, and everyone actually ate them!
The main theme is a love between you and me, which is speechless.
Everyone was so active that Song Tan was too embarrassed to draw the next cake. After the dumplings were made, she changed the topic:
"I told you when I joined the company before that there will be special gift packages from our mountain during the holidays. But if you don't need these, you can also convert them into holiday bonuses. Just register with Zhang Yanping when the time comes."
After saying this, she paused again, because Zhang Yanping now has his own business, and it would be too cumbersome and unofficial to ask him for all the big and small things at home.
After all, there is a company now, and departments can be less detailed, but they have to find an assistant to handle chores.
She kept this in mind, and then recalled the plans Yan Ran and the others had talked about for the next five, six, and seven months. They were so dense and dense that it would be impossible to arrange them without anyone's help.
Just as he turned around, he saw that Qi Lin had already answered the phone before he finished wiping his hands:
"Grandpa...what? Are you here? Where are you?!"
These words shocked him, who had always been calm, and made some people flip up: "Didn't you say a few days ago that you would wait for me to pick you up when I came back from vacation?"
After hanging up the phone, everyone looked at Qi Lin - after being together for so long, who doesn't know that Grandpa Qi Lin can't play with a smartphone? Why did he arrive suddenly after traveling far away?
Song Tan also asked: "Where are you?"
Qi Lin was helpless: "High-speed rail station."
Of course, the old man didn't buy the ticket to take the high-speed rail himself. It was the son of the canteen in the village who came back. I heard that he was going to visit his grandson when he was very old. He happened to be on a business trip to Ningcheng, so the folks from the village brought him with him.
Nowadays, young people mostly take the high-speed rail when they go out. The old man over there asked him to buy the train tickets for him, and he booked them directly online with one operation, and the two of them could still take the same train.
In short, the old man was confused and thought that trains were like this now. He was sighing and speaking in dialect along the way.
When the neighbor kid heard that Qi Lin had promised to pick him up, he thought he had agreed to pick him up at the station! I was still muttering in my heart that Qi Lin was quite relieved. I didn’t see anyone calling to ask...
No, in a daze, after Ning Cheng said goodbye, the old man listened carefully to the announcement again, and then asked the people around him. After all, he walked out of the high-speed rail station with two huge snakeskin bags on his shoulders!
But only when it comes out.
After coming out to this strange place, the old man's heart began to tremble again. There were so many doors in this high-speed rail station, and he didn't know which way to go with the crowd, so he had to stand at the intersection.
The security guard saw it and asked a few questions, and the little old man said "ouch"!
I just said I forgot something, I forgot to inform my eldest grandson!
In short, Qi Lin was also shocked when he heard these words - his grandfather is so old, and he was hesitant to leave his hometown every time he asked. When asked urgently, he said that he would have to die at home to feel at ease...
If he wasn't in good health, Qi Lin really wouldn't dare to torment the old man like this. But the old man was in high spirits and drank two ounces of wine after a meal. Looking at his body, it is impossible to live for another 10 or 20 years!
He couldn't be left alone at home for such long days.
He has already asked for leave. He will go back next Wednesday to help the old man pack his things, bring them over, and settle in... It’s a full week’s leave!
In short, now Qi Lin said helplessly: "Boss, do we have anyone here to pick up people near the high-speed rail station? My grandfather has already left the station and is waiting. I will take a car there. It will take more than an hour to get to the high-speed rail station."
Song Tan thought for a while: "Wait a moment-"
She turned around and called Song Sancheng. Many young people in the town were driving sports cars. Song Sancheng made the arrangements after making two calls.
"There happens to be a driver seeing someone off in the new district. It only takes ten minutes to turn to the high-speed rail station. What is your grandpa dressed like? Ask him where he is standing now, and just rent a car to bring the old man back."
In modern society, he is an old man who is not too old, and his grandfather is in good health. Qi Lin is not so panicked: "I asked, my grandfather said that the person on duty asked him to wait at the east gate, and he wore a Black cotton hat, and two old-fashioned big duffel bags, the kind with red and blue stripes.”
Don’t tell me, the quality of this bag is really good! He used it to carry his blanket when he went to school, and now his grandfather can still take it out and continue to use it.
Let's think about it, if you are still carrying this kind of duffel bag these days, it should be very conspicuous and easy to recognize.
So he urged Qi Lin: "Has your house been tidied up? Have you signed the contract for the vegetable plot? Does the old man still need quilts or something? I have plenty here..."
Qi Lin quickly said: "It's packed, everything is complete, and the land has been rented."
I originally planned to go out in a few days, so I must arrange these things in advance. The land had just been rented and had not been taken care of yet. Now it is overgrown with weeds and vines...
Forget it, let his grandpa sort it out slowly!
He hurriedly called again, first telling his grandfather that a car had been arranged to pick him up, then he called the owner of the canteen, specifically asking for his child's contact information, and then called to say thank you...
I was so busy, there were so many things to do, and it only took about ten minutes to get everything done.
Fortunately, dumplings can be eaten all over the country. As for sour soup or white soup...Master Jiang decided to make another sour soup and that's it!
Qi Lin looked at Song Tan and sighed helplessly: "Boss, can the house in this town be handed over by the end of this year? I want one too."
Then buy the old man a tricycle of the same model as Song Youde's, and he can ride here by himself.
Song Tan: "...it takes several months to get the land." There are planning, approval, construction, and qualifications to follow... Even if she hadn't completed the building, she probably knew that it would never be completed by the end of the year.
And now, it's the end of April.
Qi Lin sighed in disappointment—he had received a salary of 8,000 since he joined the job. He had received subsidies from Professor Song before, plus some he had saved during his previous school years. He definitely did not have 100,000, but because rural consumption was low, 50,000 was not available. That's almost it.
In this way, even if Song Tan hands over the house at the end of the year, he will still have the confidence to buy it directly.
But now...
The house rented by a villager is not far from the seventh cousin's house. The price is 3,800 yuan a year and comes with three-thirds of a vegetable plot.
This is enough for the old man to deal with.
That house has been unoccupied for more than three years. He hasn't taken care of it thoroughly yet. He should go back and do it with his grandfather.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly beat faster and faster, and I always felt that my life seemed to be different again in an instant.
…
And in the van.
Old man Qi was sitting in the front row. He had two large duffel bags, one in the trunk and one in the back seat. He had an old-fashioned **** pack tied around his waist, made of jujube brown leather, with a lot of skin falling off from the bumps on it.
At this moment, looking at the scene flashing by outside, I couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many trees here."
He spoke the dialect of his hometown, but it was not too profound to understand, so the driver was able to pick up the conversation: "A lot of trees? That's not true. We are a bit behind here, and there isn't much development, but the scenery is really nice. , Old man, your accent doesn’t sound like our local accent!”
The driver can talk to anyone about the mountains and the world. When the old man mentioned his hometown, he would say, "I know, the potatoes and sweet potatoes over there are always delicious!"
A deep furrow appeared on the old man's face: "It's too dry. The soil is all loess, so we can only plant these..."
You may not be able to understand all the words, but the profoundness of Chinese lies in the fact that the context does not affect understanding at all, so the driver went on to praise him for not forgetting the filial grandson of the elderly at home despite being promising...
In short, the road for more than an hour was smooth and smooth without any bumps. When I got off the bus, the old man was smiling and in a good mood, but the soles of his feet were a little shaky.
However, in addition to being anxious, the old man was also a little excited.
Because it’s so green along the way!
Every exposed soil surface is green, which is completely different from the endless yellow and windy sand in my hometown. It still feels wet when I breathe - in fact, Yunqiao Village is slightly humid during the rainy season, and there is no heavy water vapor at all on weekdays. Feelings, but I can’t stand the comparison!
In short, when Qi Lin picked up his luggage, he heard old man Qi sigh: "The land here is so fat!"
Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the smile on his grandfather's face, and couldn't help but nod: "Yes! Very fat! If you don't come over, grandpa, our vegetable plot will be barren, and it is all grass now. I feel like it’s such a waste.”
While talking, Tang Xiaodong and Yan Ran also came over to help carry the luggage. The old man brought all his belongings with him this time, which were tightly tied with a belt and stuffed into the luggage bag.
If three people hadn't been running up and down the mountain every day, they might not have been able to lift it now.
And Yan Ran also spoke expectantly: "Grandpa Qi, you came at the right time! We are having dumplings in the canteen on the mountain tonight, which are made from the shepherd's purse we dug ourselves. Do you like dumplings?"
She deliberately slowed down her speech, and Old Man Qi listened carefully: "Eating dumplings? Who doesn't like dumplings? When his milk was still there, I could eat three big bowls during the Chinese New Year!"
But the old man's focus soon turned to another direction: "Linzi, is your canteen expensive?"
The cafeteria has never seriously received family members of employees who live here for a long time. Worrying not about the scarcity but the inequality, Song Tan set a family price of 25 yuan a day, which was only a few hundred yuan a month. For Qi Lin, it was He can swear:
"No money! Each of our families can bring one dependent, free of charge!"
Free is great!
The old man's eyes immediately lit up: "I ate 3 bowls and someone said you don't?"
After saying this, the three of them laughed together: "Grandpa, if you don't feel full, you can eat as much as you want. The price will be the same!"
"But there's one thing. If you eat too much, you have to go to the clinic to get medicine. That won't be reimbursed."
Old Man Qi:…
This silly kid, he just said that, how old is he and still eats 3 bowls? (End of chapter)
