Chapter 1566: spiritual energy's Character
When the eldest aunt said she would help, she really didn't hold back at all!
Their family was very good at organizing, but there weren't many zongzi to wrap today anyway; she squeezed into a seat after wandering around twice, picked up a bamboo shoot shell, and wrapped glutinous rice inside:
"Should we wrap some white zongzi?"
White zongzi meant nothing was added; they were eaten plain or dipped in white sugar after boiling, which was the local habit.
This year, because they were giving them to employees, white zongzi weren't rare, so various flavors were added.
Wu Lan nodded hurriedly: "Wrap them, Tan Tan loved eating these when she was little, and she didn't even dip them in sugar."
The eldest uncle and Zhu spiritual energy couldn't squeeze in; while they went to gulp down four bottles of tea, they also carried buckets and tables to clean up the messy and dirty areas again.
It was a canteen, so the floor was spacious, and everyone was concentrated in the zongzi-wrapping area, so even if there were some traces left from moving things, there weren't many.
After the father and son finished cleaning, sitting idly didn't look right, so they simply flipped over all the mugwort outside.
After all the tossing and turning, the zongzi were all wrapped.
Several large soup pots in the kitchen were immediately ready to boil, and the employees gathered together to compare who was first and who was second.
And after the lucky draw ended, the number of viewers in the livestream also decreased rapidly—
It was really mealtime, and they should also have dinner with their families.
Here, Song Tan approached with a grin: "Eldest Aunt, how much money did you give Grandpa and Grandma for the holiday?"
Oh my! This shouldn't be mentioned!
The eldest aunt felt pained instantly: "You child! Tell me in advance next time Lu Chuan buys clothes, and I won't buy them—look, I didn't buy anything this year, so I gave 200 more."
Originally, according to habit, she would have had to cut ten or twenty jin of pork to bring back, but since her parents were eating at Tan Tan's house now, wouldn't cutting that meat be a waste?
In short, the eldest aunt said with a smile: "I didn't buy anything when I came today; just call your cousin or your uncle if there's any work."
Song Tan was instantly happy; seeing the large water bottles lined up on the table nearby, she smiled at this moment: "Eldest Aunt, let me wrap some tea leaves for you to take back; we're relatives, why are you being so polite?"
The eldest aunt felt a shiver in her heart instantly, and she leaned over to ask in a low voice: "These tea leaves are selling for hundreds of thousands a jin now, right?"
Seeing Song Tan nod, she took a deep breath again: "Then you must not give them; I can't live that kind of life. If I thought that every sip of tea at home cost hundreds of yuan, I wouldn't dare to sleep."
"I brought an extra bottle today because your cousin spiritual energy is dating someone and wants her to taste it; we usually just drink the heat-clearing tea given by the pharmacy."
Every night when the eldest uncle went to the supermarket to buy discounted vegetables, he passed by the pharmacy; since no one drank it at night, he would take his water bottle to fill it, and the clerk was actually happy!
It saved them the trouble of moving it, which was hard work.
And their heat-clearing tea didn't have much sugar, so it really wasn't that good!
Lu Chuan listened silently from the side; even though he already knew the eldest aunt's character, he still felt shocked.
But Song Tan was clearly used to it; she was very happy about Zhu spiritual energy having a girlfriend, so she said: "Eldest Aunt, you can't be this stingy with your daughter-in-law; there is some large-leaf tea at home, let me wrap two liang for spiritual energy to give away?"
She was about to get up as she said this, but was pressed down hard by the eldest aunt again: "No! That girl said, don't waste things if they are expensive at a relative's house; she also has a dull tongue and can't taste what's good or bad. I'll just clean up two jin of green vegetables and invite her over later."
The eldest aunt's eyes were smiling as she spoke: "Look, she bought the water bottle and sent it over herself, saying don't give anything expensive, otherwise it's hard to be relatives if we interact often..."
Song Tan thought to herself, this is truly a family!
But she still instructed Lu Chuan: "Still wrap two liang of that large-leaf tea for the eldest aunt; when the girl comes to visit, you have to entertain her parents and relatives, so they know we aren't stingy people!"
"Also wrap two boxes of two-liang Maojian tea, put them in a gift box, and let cousin spiritual energy send them as a holiday gift after lunch."
It was rare to see Song Tan being so thoughtful; clearly, the eldest aunt's family was truly capable of anything!
Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile as he stayed, and he nodded and hurried back.
And the eldest aunt whispered: "I've shown the girl the gold I've saved, so I'm not stingy; I'll give her half when she gets married..."
Of course, she had to get married; she wouldn't give it if she didn't get married; she was just that kind of person!
But thinking about it, she knew she was stingy, and it was rare for her daughter-in-law to be like family, so she should let her parents go back and show off.
Otherwise, the son-in-law wouldn't be presentable, which would be a grievance.
So she gritted her teeth and nodded: "Alright, then the eldest aunt will accept it."
Oh my, it's so expensive... just thinking about it makes my heart bleed!
Just as they were chatting, Wu Lan also came.
She had heard last time Song Hongmei came back that there was a girl at spiritual energy's workplace who was quite good, and now that it was true and looked stable, she was also overjoyed!
When life was difficult at home before, she was strong and didn't say anything, but Song Hongmei, who was so stingy, prepared large red envelopes for the two children every holiday.
She also stuffed twenty or fifty yuan to Qiaoqiao every few days.
And she was afraid she would return the gift, so she told Zhu spiritual energy not to accept the red envelopes every time she came.
Five hundred or a thousand at that time was actually quite useful, and Wu Lan had always remembered it in her heart!
Not to mention that Aunt Mei was sharp-tongued; when she came back and asked if Qiaoqiao had been bullied, she directly dragged him to block the other person's door and scold them!
Oh my, that energy was on par with Wu Lan!
This wasn't it; thinking of the past, Wu Lan hurriedly arranged to take a slab of meat later, take twenty zongzi back, get a few watermelons, and clean up a basket of green vegetables...
Don't invite them to eat at home; just send it directly to the girl's house!
After all, it's the Dragon Boat Festival!
spiritual energy is a stingy boyfriend; if he doesn't enter the house, he probably won't even be willing to buy good cigarettes and alcohol...
Oh my, this family!
Wu Lan felt worried just thinking about it, and at this moment, she really wished everything could be perfect!
Song Tan hurriedly comforted her: "Cousin spiritual energy is stingy," stingy to the point of going to his girlfriend's house to freeload breakfast every day, "but they have already confirmed their relationship, Mom, don't worry, he is not confused about big things!"
A truly stingy person wouldn't clean up someone else's house while freeloading meals. Chair legs, old screens, range hoods, curtains, changing light strips...
He didn't feel tired at all; as long as he didn't spend money, he could do anything!
Later, when there was really nothing left to fix, he went to the mall and took dozens of flyers to fold into trash boxes, folding more than sixty of them!
With just this trick, Song Tan had heard the eldest aunt complain on the phone—the girl's mother felt sorry for her child, thinking he was too stingy and her daughter would suffer, but being able to live like this meant he clearly wouldn't worry about money.
Therefore, from pinching her nose to accept it, to complaining outside later, and then to showing off with full satisfaction...
This was only a mere four or five months! ===== CHAPTER 1567 =====
