Chapter 120 The Legendary Seventh Cousin

Chapter 120 120. The legendary seventh cousin

As the eldest aunt was talking, she also became greedy.

She simply raised her voice again: "Qiao Qiao - pick more rape flowers for the eldest aunt, I will go back to make rice soup!"

The rape flowers were sparse, and I didn't know when the seeds fell and grew on their own. No one cared, and they bloomed very wildly.

Qiao Qiao carried the basket and got into the flowers. She picked a good position, opened the small box in her arms, and then put the bumblebee on it by grabbing its fat butt.

The rape flower stems were high, but the flowers were delicate. After the bumblebee went up, the whole flower trembled slightly, which was obviously too heavy for life.

Qiao Qiao sighed and had forgotten his bamboo shoots.

On this side, Song Tan was also tempted. At this moment, he moved his fingers, and the faint spiritual energy on his fingertips drifted with the wind. The whole bamboo forest rustled, and even the branches seemed to be much greener.

There were more and more bamboo shoots sprouting under her feet.

She moved her toes, looked at the right position, and directly dug out a plump bamboo shoot. The eldest aunt was overjoyed: "Oh! This one is big! It's not unearthed yet, it must be tender!"

"I'll make a cold salad later - oh, this one is a little old, but it's okay, break it up and stew it with duck. Old ducks in the vegetable market are cheap recently."

As she dug and muttered, every dish seemed to be within reach. Song Tan finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Aunt, how can you eat so well?"

The eldest aunt laughed: "Because the chef I just mentioned, you have to call him seventh cousin! When I was a child, he cooked a big banquet in our village, and I followed him around, and I learned a little bit."

Okay.

Seventh cousin.

Not to mention that Song Tan traveled back more than a hundred years before coming back, even if she didn't travel back, she couldn't tell them apart at all.

There are really too many relatives.

Fortunately, the eldest aunt finally changed the topic from food to people--

"Your seventh cousin, according to what you young people say now, is so delicious that even the soles of shoes are fried."

"I heard that when the brigade was still a collective canteen, the villagers said that the brigade leader would not ask him to cook-because his cooking was too delicious, everyone couldn't eat enough, and the planned grain was not enough."

Wow!

Then Song Tan was really in awe.

Why don't the older generation like to eat wild vegetables? Because in their memory, wild vegetables are boiled in water, and it is a luxury to have a drop of oil in a pot of food.

In those days, who could cook wild vegetables boiled in water?

But according to the eldest aunt, this seventh cousin can do it!

That's really amazing.

Song Tan couldn't help but be moved.

Because she took the time to count the next tasks--

Peach trees need to be planted on the mountain.

After plowing several fields, they also need to be leveled, sowed and transplanted.

The rice fields need to store water and then plow the fields to prepare for transplanting rice.

In the meantime, we have to feed the pigs, chickens, ducks and dogs.

Tea leaves have to be picked continuously.

It is possible to cooperate with the spiritual energy formation, but because she is not capable enough now, and she cannot be too unrealistic, weeding and insect removal work has to be done appropriately.

Is that the end?

No, after this wave of work is over, the peach blossoms will bloom, and the early-maturing vegetables such as cabbage in the field should be picked up. Then it is time to plow and plant other things. Song Tan is also responsible for selling vegetables...

Calculated in this way, the family will have to keep hiring people for a long time. It just so happens that the food at home tastes good, and everyone's appetite has doubled or tripled.

The meals for more than a dozen people have to be prepared according to 20 or 30 people.

Wulan is at home now. Although she only has one meal at noon, she has to start cleaning in the morning. She is also responsible for washing pots and dishes at noon. That means she is trapped on the stove every day!

Song Tan has long wanted to find someone to share the burden.

She and Qiao Qiao have to dig holes and dig soil on the mountain every day, and clean up the corners that the machine can't reach... No one in the whole family is idle at present.

Didn't you see that Zhang Yanping was driven to the mountains to hone his skills?

Therefore, when the eldest aunt praised the chef to the heavens, it was really hard for Song Tan not to be moved.

"Aunt, what is the seventh cousin doing now? Is he still taking big banquets?"

The eldest aunt's eyebrows drooped again: "In the community opposite me, a new building, the house price has risen to 8,500 now!"

That's what she said, but the eldest aunt didn't look very happy.

"Your seventh cousin is really amazing. When he was young, he took the money to secretly buy a house in the city. As a result, the area was demolished, and he didn't ask for money, but only for the house."

"Originally, it was prepared for his son, but his son went to XJ at a young age, and he also started a family there."

"Your seventh cousin is old, thinking that his son will not be able to take care of him in the future, so he accepted an apprentice, saying that he would teach him the skills, but he would be responsible for his old age and death."

As a result, the apprentice was also an ungrateful person. He thought that he would just pack up and run to a big coastal city after learning.

The eldest aunt snorted angrily: "The family couldn't afford to support them at that time. What about the four sons of that family? The half-grown boy graduated from junior high school and was as thin as a skeleton. Your seventh cousin took him with him, taught him, fed him and fed him, and later arranged for him to take the high school entrance examination."

"When that family sent someone here, they cried and kowtowed to your uncle, saying that they would serve him for the rest of their lives."

"In the end, they packed up and ran away. This family also said that your seventh cousin was good at taking advantage of others and working for free. His son stayed with him for five years and didn't get a penny..."

"Bah!"

Song Tan was speechless.

Honest people have their own troubles, but black-hearted people have their own freedom.

She could only comfort him: "It's okay, aunt, think about the good side. My seventh cousin now lives in the city, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he lives comfortably."

Aunt sighed again: "The city has its advantages, it's convenient to go to the hospital. But your seventh cousin and his wife are not comfortable... You know, in the new community, the property management is well done, and vegetable gardens are not allowed in the community."

"During the last inspection, the cabbage planted by your seventh cousin in the cracks of the bricks was pulled out... Your seventh cousin is sad. He strolls around the community every day and has nothing to do. He is very picky when buying vegetables and meat. He said that he doesn't even enjoy eating."

You can grow vegetables in the cracks of floor tiles?

What kind of master is that! Song Tan was amazed.

"Then... sell the new house and buy one with a yard?"

The eldest aunt glanced at her and said, "Your seventh cousin is already 67 years old this year. Do you think he can be as young as you? I guess they want to live in the village, but they are afraid that no one will take them to the hospital if they have a headache or fever... They are suffering."

When the eldest aunt said this, she was moved: "Tan Tan, you can't farm at home forever, right? Otherwise, go home and discuss with your parents to take your seventh cousin over as the chef."

"If your seventh cousin is in good health, you can let him be the chef."

"If he is not in good health, drive them to see a doctor. . Don't worry, you don't have to spend money, the couple has savings. "

"When the time comes, you take good care of the seventh cousin and his wife, and take care of them until the end of their lives. They secretly said that when they can't walk anymore, they will find someone to take care of them, and whoever takes good care of them will get the house."

The eldest aunt's heart was burning when she thought of the house. If it wasn't her own niece, she would not say:

"Just say, it's great to get a big house for free! You can pick whatever you want when you get married in the future!"

Here, there seem to be quite a few children in the frontier. I've heard that the brothers and sisters of the older generation of relatives have settled there and never come back...

Or they come back once every ten or eight years...
