Chapter 1436

Song Tan drew a pie in the void, and everyone really ate it!

It's a matter of mutual consent, and there's nothing to say.

Everyone was so active that Song Tan was embarrassed to draw any more pies. After the dumplings were wrapped, she changed the subject again:

"I said when I joined the job that there would be special gift packages of our mountain products on holidays. But if you don't need these, they can also be converted into holiday bonuses. Just find Zhang Yanping to register at that time."

After saying this, she paused slightly, because Zhang Yanping now has his own career, and everything big and small in the family is looking for him, which is too cumbersome and doesn't seem so formal.

After all, there is a company now. The departments don't have to be so detailed, but an assistant to handle chores must be found.

She kept this in mind, and remembered the plans for May, June, and July that Sister Yanran and the others said before, which were really thick and dense. It would be impossible without someone to help arrange them.

This thought had just turned, when she saw Qi Lin answer the phone without even wiping his hands:

"Grandpa... What? You've arrived? Where are you?!"

This shocked him, who had always been calm, to the point of turning upside down: "Didn't we say a few days ago that I would wait for my vacation to go back and pick you up?"

After the call, everyone looked at Qi Lin together—having been together for so long, who doesn't know that Qi Lin's grandpa can't even handle a smartphone? How did he suddenly arrive on this long journey?

Song Tan also asked: "Where are you?"

Qi Lin was helpless: "High-speed rail station."

Taking the high-speed rail was naturally not a ticket the old man bought himself. It was the son of the family at the village grocery store who came back. Hearing that he was going to see his grandson at his age, he happened to be going to Ningcheng on a business trip, so he brought him along as a fellow villager.

Young people go out mostly by high-speed rail now. The old man asked him to buy a train ticket, and he ordered it directly online. The two could even take the same train.

In short, the old man was confused and thought that trains are all like this now. He sighed and exclaimed all the way, communicating in dialect.

The neighbor's child heard him say that Qi Lin was coming to pick him up, and thought it was agreed to pick him up at the station! He was still muttering in his heart that Qi Lin was quite relieved, and he didn't see him call to ask a single sentence along the way...

This is not it, confused, after parting in Ningcheng, the old man pricked up his ears to listen to the broadcast, and then asked the people around him. In short, carrying two very large snake-skin bags, he actually came out of the high-speed rail station!

But that's all.

He came out to this strange place, and the old man's heart began to tremble again. He didn't know which side to walk to with the crowd at the high-speed rail station, so he had to stand at the intersection.

It was the security guard who saw him and came to ask a few questions, and then the little old man said "Oh my!"

He said he forgot something, forgot to notify his eldest grandson!

In short, Qi Lin, who heard this, was also stunned—his grandpa is so old. Every time he asked before, he was hesitant and reluctant to leave his hometown. When asked urgently, he said he would be at ease only if he died in his own home...

If his health wasn't good, Qi Lin wouldn't dare to toss the old man like this. But the old man is full of energy and drinks two taels of wine at a meal. Looking at this physique, he might be able to live for another 10 or 20 years!

In such long days, he can't always let him be alone at home.

He had already taken his leave, and would go back next Wednesday to help the old man pack his things, bring him over, and settle him... a full week of vacation!

In short, Qi Lin said helplessly: "Boss, do we have anyone picking up people near the high-speed rail station? My grandpa is already waiting at the station. If I take a car over, it will take more than an hour to get to the high-speed rail station."

Song Tan thought for a moment: "Wait a moment—"

She turned to call Song Sancheng. Many young people in town are running cars, and Song Sancheng made two calls and arranged it.

"It just so happens that a driver is delivering people in the new district. It only takes ten minutes to turn to the high-speed rail station—ask your grandpa what he is wearing, ask him where he is standing now, and just charter a car to bring the old man back."

In modern society, and an old man who is not too old, and his grandpa is in good health, Qi Lin is not so panicked: "I asked, my grandpa said the duty staff let him wait at the east entrance. He is wearing a black cotton hat on his head, and carrying two old-fashioned large luggage bags, the kind with red and blue stripes."

Don't say, the quality of this bag is really good! He used it to carry his bedding when he was in school, and now his grandpa can still take it out and continue to use it.

Everyone pondered, carrying this kind of luggage bag these days, it is indeed quite conspicuous and easy to recognize.

So they urged Qi Lin: "Is your room packed? Did you sign the contract for the vegetable plot you rented? Does your grandpa need quilts or anything? I have extras..."

Qi Lin hurriedly said: "It's packed, everything is ready, and the land is rented."

He originally planned to go out in a few days, so these things must be arranged first. The land was just rented back, and it hasn't been managed yet. Now it's overgrown with weeds and vines...

Forget it, let his grandpa tidy it up slowly!

He hurriedly called again, first told his grandpa that a car had been arranged to pick him up, then called the owner of the grocery store, specifically asked for his child's contact information, and then called to thank him...

Busy and busy, there were a lot of things to say, but it only took ten minutes to get everything done.

Only Master Jiang hesitated: "Are you used to eating dumplings? Do you like white soup or sour soup?"

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!

And Qi Lin looked at Song Tan, and could only sigh helplessly: "Boss, can the house in town be delivered by the end of this year? I want one too."

Buy his grandpa a Song Youde-style elderly tricycle, and he can ride it over himself.

Song Tan: "... It will take several months just to get the land."

There are follow-up planning, approval, construction, qualifications... Even if she hasn't built a residential area, she probably knows that it will definitely not be done by the end of the year.

And now, it's already the end of April.

Qi Lin sighed in disappointment—he had a salary of 8,000 since he joined the job, and there were subsidies when he followed Professor Song, plus some savings from his school days. He definitely didn't have 100,000, but because of the low consumption in the countryside, 50,000 was almost enough.

Even if Song Tan delivered the house at the end of the year, he had the confidence to buy it directly.

But now...

The house rented from the villagers is not far from Master Qi Biao's house, 3,800 yuan a year, with a vegetable plot of three cents.

This is enough for the old man to tidy up.

It's just that the residential house hasn't been lived in for more than three years, and he hasn't managed it thoroughly yet. Let's tidy it up with grandpa later.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly accelerated and beat, and he felt that his life had started to be different again in an instant.

And in the van.

Old Man Qi sat in the front row, one of the two large luggage bags in the trunk and the other in the back seat. He tied an old-fashioned waist bag around his waist, made of jujube-brown leather, with many pits and bumps on it, and a lot of leather had already fallen off.

Looking at the scene flashing by outside at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many trees here."

He spoke in his hometown dialect, but because it wasn't so profound that it couldn't be understood, the driver could pick up the conversation: "Trees? That's right, we are a bit backward here, and there is no development, but the scenery is really good. Old man, listening to your accent, you don't look like a local!"

Drivers, after all, can chat with anyone, and can talk about everything from the north to the south. When the old man talked about his hometown, the driver said "Oh my": "I know, the potatoes and sweet potatoes there are so delicious!"

Deep gullies appeared on the old man's face: "It's too dry, the soil is yellow soil, and you can only plant these..."

Some words may not be fully understood, but the profoundness of Chinese lies in the fact that connecting the context does not affect understanding at all, so the driver continued to praise his filial grandson who was successful...

In short, the road of more than an hour was not bumpy, smooth and smooth. When getting off the car, the old man was beaming and in a good mood, but his feet were a little floating.

However, the old man's heart was a little excited besides being uneasy.

Because walking all the way here, it is really green!

Any exposed soil surface is green, which is completely different from the endless yellow and wind and sand in his hometown. He even felt wet when breathing—actually, Yunqiao Village is slightly humid in the rainy season, and there is no feeling of heavy water vapor on weekdays, but he couldn't stand the contrast!

In short, when Qi Lin lifted the luggage, he only heard Old Man Qi sigh: "The land here is really fertile!"

Qi Lin was stunned, then looked at the smile on his grandpa's face, and couldn't help nodding: "Yes! Especially fertile! Grandpa, if you hadn't come over, our vegetable plot would have been abandoned. Now it's all grass, and I feel it's such a waste."

During the conversation, Tang Xiaodong and Sister Yanran also came over to help carry the luggage. The old man brought all his belongings this time, tied tightly with a belt inside, and stuffed into the luggage bag.

If it weren't for the three of them running back and forth between the field and the mountain every day, they really wouldn't be able to lift it.

And Sister Yanran also opened her mouth with expectation: "Grandpa Qi, you came at the right time! Our mountain cafeteria is eating dumplings tonight. These are dumplings wrapped with shepherd's purse we dug ourselves. Do you like dumplings?"

She deliberately slowed down her speech, and Old Man Qi listened carefully: "Eat dumplings? Who doesn't like dumplings? When his grandma was still here, I could eat 3 big bowls during the Chinese New Year!"

However, the old man's focus quickly turned to another direction: "Lin Zi, is your cafeteria expensive?"

The cafeteria had never seriously received family members of long-term employees like this. Don't worry about scarcity, worry about inequality. Song Tan set the family price at 25 yuan a day, and a month is only a few hundred yuan in total. For Qi Lin, he could swear:

"It's free! Each of our families can bring one family member, free of charge!"

Free is good!

The old man's eyes lit up immediately: "If I eat 3 bowls, will anyone say anything about you?"

Hearing this, the three of them laughed together: "Grandpa, if you don't feel full, just eat as much as you want, it's the same price no matter how much you eat!"

"But there is one point, if you eat too much, you have to go to the clinic to get medicine, and that is not reimbursed."

Old Man Qi:...

This silly child, he just said that, how old is he to eat 3 bowls?
