Chapter 27 27 Still Has to Be You

Chapter 27 27. It has to be you

"Dad, when will the people delivering the seine nets come?"

"He'll be here soon."

Song Tan looked at the budding chestnut trees on the hillside, planning to surround the entire forest and plant black fungus and white fungus in the forest.

As for the chestnut forest, she knew that the family had not taken care of it for so many years, so that the annual mature production depended on God's will.

Chestnuts require grafting, pruning, and fertilization, and they are not easy to take care of.

Their Yunqiao Village is too remote, and chestnuts are not a famous brand. The purchase price is only one or two yuan per year, which is much more expensive than the eight cents in Song Tan's childhood memories.

But the problem is that the young people in the village who can earn this kind of money have now left their hometowns and gone to the cities.

Older people, such as Song Sancheng and others, can no longer do such heavy farm work.

Time makes people grow old!

And in the middle of the hillside, there is a wild chestnut tree that is as tall as a three-story building. It blocks out the sun and grows right in the middle of the slope.

This is a wild old tree that has never been taken care of at home. The chestnut ball is not much bigger than a table tennis ball. The peeled chestnut is only as big as a thumb, but it tastes delicious.

It was grandpa Song Youde who stayed here on purpose.

Song Tan raised his head and looked at it, his mouth watering for some reason. I think of the time spent around the stove in the winter, listening to the "pop" of chestnuts exploding...

Rich caramel aroma, soft and sweet.

She did not hesitate to gather a soybean-sized amount of spiritual energy, and slowly patted the tree trunk little by little, feeling the tree roots stretching freely underground, and then reluctantly looked away——

"It's been a long time! I'm counting on you to celebrate the New Year!"

Song Sancheng had already called her from the front: "Come and see if it is possible to build a fence here."

The barbed wire fence here is too expensive, and it is still an ordinary rope fence. Most of the time, I just give a few tips to those who are used to taking advantage of others -

If you have a master, don't move.

As the saying goes, guard against gentlemen but not villains. This is basically the case for most facilities in rural areas.

Song Tan made an estimate in his mind and then nodded: "Okay, let's do it here."

Seeing her serious attitude, Song Sancheng couldn't help but laugh: "Look at you, you look so good - as if you are really good at it."

Song Tan also coaxed her father: "What if your daughter is really talented, right? It must be my father who is willing to listen to me and give me room to display my talent!"

Song Sanguo was really coaxed into confusion: "That's when you were a child, I let you ride on my neck every day -"

After saying this, Song Sancheng looked around and said secretly: "Tan Tan, you've made a lot of money during this time, right?"

Now it is mid-March, and Song Tan has sold wild vegetables six times before and after - making a lot of money, already 15,000 yuan, and half of the car has been returned.

Song Tan looked at her father with a smile: "I do have some money on hand. Dad, what do you want to do?"

Song Sancheng was overjoyed and coyly said: "Then what - don't you like to eat fish? Dad plans to go fishing on a rainy day when he is not alive. Do you remember your Uncle Wu in our village? He bought a new fishing rod. , more than five hundred!”

"Look, how about... you buy me one too? If your mother wants to ask, just say 80."

Alas, he has no other hobbies now, he just wants to fish!

Song Tan felt sour in her heart - wasn't it because of the two siblings that the family was so frugal?

But when it comes to fishing rods…

Song Tan also discussed with his father: "Dad, if you can quit smoking, you can save one or two thousand yuan a year. Then I will collect another 2,000 for you, and we can buy a 4,000 pole!"

Song Sancheng:......

He was silent for a moment: "You don't understand. Those who really know how to fish don't even look at the fishing rod. There is no need for a fishing rod worth several thousand yuan. Now I feel quite comfortable with this."

Yes, this is a fishing rod and tobacco, and tobacco is even better!

It seemed unrealistic to ask her dad to quit smoking for a while.

Song Tan thought for a while and simply took out his phone: "But Dad, you have worked hard during this time. Isn't it just a fishing rod? A few handfuls of wild vegetables! Whatever you want, you can pick it first!"

The sound of cars in the distance came from far to near - the people delivering the seine nets had arrived.

…

Back home, Wulan was still ordering some bacterial strains from Song Youde - it should have been arranged long ago, but because the humidity of the trees cut down some time ago was too high, he had to dry the trunks for a few more days before drilling holes. .

It has just been officially planted now.

Song Sancheng also smiled: "The people here are all from your grandparents' generation. I chat with your grandparents every day. They are in much better spirits."

“All the elderly people in our village are here, but there are two that I didn’t invite—those two ordinary people can’t handle it.”

Song Tan knew which two they were.

One is famous in their village for being unreasonable and even his own children can't do anything about it.

One is a fierce man who dares to poison other people’s livestock (attempted) just to steal a pumpkin...

In other words, people like this can be found everywhere, and they can only be avoided.

Song Sancheng was speechless when he thought about it, and now he simply talked about another thing:

"But Tantan, we didn't mention the money at the beginning - they are old after all. If you want to give money, later you will get a headache or fall while walking, and the family will say that this is an employment and you will have to pay for it, so we say no. Clear.”

Even though they are all villagers, there are also many unreasonable people in the village.

It’s still better this way. Wang Lifen called out in the village, and anyone who wants to come can come. Food and drink are provided, and there are people to chat with. For lonely old people, it is enough to make people happy.

Not to mention that Song Sancheng also said that after the work is done, each person will carry two knives of meat over, and everyone will work harder.

However, Song Sancheng is careful and discussed with Song Tan again:

“But I think, when our family grows so many things, Tantan, you don’t allow pesticides, isn’t this what green organic? The price will definitely be expensive at that time?”

That’s a must.

Song Tan’s current wild vegetables are 20 yuan per catty, and they are not shaken in order to create this price advantage.

Song Sancheng has been in the village all year round, but he thinks more and more carefully:

“I think, if this thing is only in our family, and someone picks some later, we can’t say anything, right?”

This is how it is in my hometown, with advantages and disadvantages.

"Even if we don't pick them, what if the villagers come to buy them? If it's too expensive, they will say we are unkind. If it's too cheap, it's not appropriate either - otherwise, when the work is done, give each person a black fungus stick and a white fungus stick."

"Tan Tan, what do you think?"

Song Tan really didn't expect this - cultivators have arrays or barriers when they farm, and no one would consider taking it from other families!

Now she nodded repeatedly and gave Song Sancheng a thumbs up:

"Dad, it has to be you!"

Song Sancheng smiled proudly: "That's right! Your dad has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!"

The two unreasonable people will be mentioned in the following chapters.

In addition, the village's values ​​are like this, and so is the humanistic society.

For the elderly, it is also to take precautions (a few years ago, my relatives went to the park to dance, and an old lady died of a sudden heart attack. As a result, her children asked the aunts in the entire dance team to claim 500,000 yuan...)
