Chapter 110

This is an old rule in the village. If there are descendants in the family, they will always find time to visit the graves before Qingming.

But it's optional for the grandchildren's generation. They are accompanying Grandpa Song Youde.

The graves of the Song family are on the barren mountain assigned to the eldest uncle.

It's a little far, you have to go around the back mountain and walk for another ten or twenty minutes before arriving.

No way, it was assigned to that piece when it was divided.

But although it's a bit far, the mountain land and farmland in that place assigned to the eldest uncle total fifty mu, which is far better than Song Tan's family.

Now they are all tea mountains and barren land, and no one manages them.

But Song Sancheng is also satisfied—the old rules give more family property to the eldest, what opinion can he have? His own family is close and convenient!

He said with some regret: "You said if you came back earlier, we could go to the field tomorrow to cut some Chinese milk vetch and let your eldest uncle and aunt take them away."

Now they are plowing the land, and they will definitely be buried in the soil tomorrow.

Song Tan smiled, thinking that this is really not a coincidence!

She didn't say anything more, just exhorted:

"Dad, tea leaves and honey cannot be sent, we still owe money."

As soon as this was said, Song Sancheng's pressure came up first.

"That can't be, it's so expensive, I'm reluctant to drink it."

Song Tan added: "Then don't drink our good tea this year tomorrow, otherwise, what if the eldest uncle says it tastes good, are you going to tell the price or not?"

If you say it, for one, people don't believe it. For another, you are afraid of exposing wealth.

If you don't say it, you are hesitant, and you are reluctant to give your own tea, it's not decent to say it out!

Honey is the same.

Song Sancheng is honest, not stupid. At this moment, he was conflicted: "Really don't give it to drink? I was still pondering..."

What can he ponder? Big men like face, want to show off!

Thinking clearly at this moment, he could only sigh again: "Why did it happen that the Chinese milk vetch was gone before they came back! They came back at the end of March in previous years!"

Why?

Eldest Aunt Mao Li and daughter-in-law Sun Yanyan are gambling!

Ever since the last time the eldest aunt had an unhappy breakup with Song Tan at the vegetable market, she felt more and more angry, and went back to tell Sun Yanyan about the twenty yuan per jin Chinese milk vetch.

Sun Yanyan didn't believe it at first.

But after Song Ziyi cried and made a scene in the room, wanting to eat the vegetables sent by Brother Qiao Qiao, she still pondered:

"Mom, I think my uncle's vegetables this year, maybe it's really this price!"

"Think about it, what vegetables can have such a good taste? Now people are willing to eat!"

But if it's twenty yuan per jin, it grows in the fields and doesn't cost money, then it must have made a fortune, right?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made an appointment, waited at the vegetable market early in the morning, and didn't see the broken pickup truck parked on the side of the road until noon.

Then in less than half an hour, the vegetables were swept away. Many families, as if money was not money, bought ten jin or eight jin back.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood there and counted. In that half an hour, one or two hundred jin were sold!

In just a while, two or three thousand were in hand. Making money is like mowing grass, why is it so simple!

Neither of them spoke.

When they went home, they muttered: "No wonder Tantan was so tough last time, it turns out the family made a fortune."

"... secretly hardened her waist, treated kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs..."

Song Eldest Uncle heard them muttering about the grand occasion of the vegetable market, and couldn't believe it at this moment:

"Really twenty yuan per jin? I thought Qiao Qiao was talking nonsense last time."

"That's right," Sun Yanyan sat on the side eating melon seeds:

"Dad, you are just too honest with your family. Look at my uncle, he can make money so black-heartedly with the wild vegetables in the fields. He only feels generous when he sends three or five jin to our house, and asks us to accept the favor."

"What nonsense!" Song Eldest Uncle didn't want to talk more to his daughter-in-law, so he asked Mao Li: "Did you really see it, is that the price?"

Eldest Aunt rolled her eyes: "How many times have I said it, can I see it wrong? I went to buy it, didn't think of the price for a while, gave less money, and she mocked me."

"Really, they earn that little money in the countryside, and they hide it when they say it out, afraid that we will be greedy or something, who doesn't have land?"

Song Eldest Uncle sat there, and his face looked bad.

Therefore, when Eldest Aunt Song Hongmei called to ask when to return to the old house at the end of the month, the couple pushed it off:

"The shop is a bit busy during this time, in two days..."

This dragged on and on, and Qingming was about to pass. This can't be dragged until after Qingming!

This was how the date was set in a hurry.

Eldest Aunt Song Hongmei didn't go out to set up a stall this morning. She felt heartache, looked around at home, and finally endured the pain to carry a pot of oil and cut a piece of meat.

The couple then took the bus to Song Eldest Uncle's door.

No other meaning, just to hitch a ride back together.

Happened to see their family busy moving things to the car.

Son Song Xuehai is responsible for picking up children and going to work today. Song Eldest Uncle drove Mao Li, Sun Yanyan, and Song Hongmei's couple back.

When Song Hongmei came, she saw Sun Yanyan and Mao Li put a large plastic frame of the kind used for wholesale market fruit in the back seat of the car, and also took a few plastic bags.

She was puzzled, but didn't ask, just said to Song Eldest Uncle:

"Big brother, what do you plan to buy when you go back? I brought a pot of oil and bought a piece of meat for our parents, remember not to buy duplicates."

Sun Yanyan called aunt sweetly, and then looked at the things in her hand, praising repeatedly: "Oh, my aunt is really thoughtful, look at this meat, how fresh! You cut it at the vegetable market early in the morning, right?"

"And this oil, this is also good oil! Dozens of yuan a barrel in the supermarket!"

Who doesn't love to hear praise?

Eldest Aunt also followed: "That's right, I didn't even set up a stall today!"

Thinking of the money she didn't earn, her heart felt a little constricted, and then thinking about the meat she cut and the oil she carried...

Alas!

How to say it, it would be great if you didn't spend money on anything in the world.

It was just that she suddenly remembered: "Oh, Tantan sent a basket of Chinese milk vetch last time, it tasted really good!"

While talking, there was a look of regret on her face—she originally planned to eat it for two or three days, but didn't expect that she couldn't stop in one meal, and it was gone by night.

They ate a whole pot more rice.

She sighed: "I don't know if there are any vegetables in the field, I have to go to the vegetable garden to see when I get home."

Sun Yanyan despised her in her heart.

The one who can say taking advantage so directly is her aunt, the number one stingy person.

But this idea happened to coincide with her own family.

She then smiled and echoed: "Yes, the one sent last time also had it. It's just that... oh, I said it was sent over, but it was so little, Ziyi ate it all in one meal."

"Take more this time."
