Chapter 387: Grandma's urging for marriage

Big Aunt looked at Wang Wang in the phone, working seriously and properly, feeling happy but also unable to stop her heart from aching:

"I've raised him for decades, and I've never seen him help me with anything. Now that he's dating a girlfriend, he does whatever she says..."

Song Tan pretended not to hear this and instead kept praising him:

"Why else would I say you and Big Uncle know how to educate him! Brother Wang Wang is a bit rebellious, but he is very proactive when working on the mountain!"

"My dad told him not to pick watermelons this morning, but he saw that Uncle Zhang's legs weren't good, so he was especially enthusiastic! He insisted on doing it!"

"Uncle Zhang likes him so much; he praises him from morning till night and even specifically called my dad to say..."

"Really? Don't just say nice things..." Big Aunt looked like she didn't believe it, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride:

"I just said your Brother Wang Wang is a bit stubborn, but his nature isn't bad—look, he's fine after some exercise."

Big Aunt's mentality—what mother under heaven doesn't have it?

Even a mangy son is good if he's one's own!

Song Tan accepted this without any obstacles and even followed up with praise: "Exactly!"

"By the way, Aunt, why don't we do this: after he works for a few more days, give Brother Wang Wang a holiday—working like this all the time without a vacation is too hard."

"That won't do."

Praise was praise, but Big Aunt still had her reason—this child was willing to go all out and settle down to do farm work at Tan Tan's house for his girlfriend, so his determination to buy a house must still be firm... he still needed more training!

Song Tan smiled and didn't force it, but...

Since Big Aunt had spoken, Brother Wang Wang, for the next two months, no single days off, no weekends, and no leave... that wouldn't be too much, right?

She quickly changed the subject:

"Come, Big Aunt, let's work together to carry down the watermelons Brother Wang Wang specifically picked for you! He picked the ones that were extra large; he was very serious!"

They were all that big in the field anyway; he moved them all, so they were all the same.

Opening the car door, what appeared before Big Aunt were indeed two huge watermelons, their size comparable to winter melons.

"This silly child..." Big Aunt couldn't help but laugh and scold again: "They aren't his watermelons, so why is he so generous? These two watermelons could sell for a lot of money; why give them to us?"

"Besides, how long would your uncle and I have to eat such big watermelons?"

However, she couldn't help but smack her lips, remembering the taste of the watermelons Song Tan had given them last time—she had been dreaming about watermelons for those few days.

If it weren't for the fact that she was an elder and knew those were for Tan Tan to sell at a high price, she wouldn't have had the nerve to ask... by now, she would have probably taken root in the watermelon field!

Don't say, the melons picked by Wang Wang were indeed good—for the two of them, sharing such a big watermelon must be very satisfying, right?

Song Tan looked serious: "Why aren't they his own? Brother Wang Wang is working so hard because he's working for his own family. Don't say two, even twenty are worth it."

"Big Aunt, don't be picky; this is all Brother Wang Wang's heart."

Big Aunt grunted and picked up a melon, feeling even more moved.

Chatting and chatting, time passed.

Song Tan looked at the time: "Grandma, have you tidied up your things? If you have, let's go, or it will be hot later."

"Okay."

Grandma laughed, her expression still a bit uncomfortable—after all, both of them going to their daughter's house, how awkward!

However, she finally thought it through:

"I'll go enjoy my granddaughter's blessing too and live in your big house!"

Song Tan took the initiative to push Grandfather's wheelchair. Big Uncle was just about to come over to carry Grandfather into the seat, but he saw Song Tan easily pick up the increasingly thin old man and place him in the back seat, fastening the seatbelt.

Then, the wheelchair was also secured in the back of the truck.

"Oh my!"

This even surprised Grandfather: "Tan Tan has quite a bit of strength now! How much work have you done at home!"

"A girl shouldn't appear so capable; capable people are all tired..." Regarding this, Grandma also imparted her own crooked scripture:

】

"Our Tan Tan is so good; when you start a family later, you must do less work."

Song Tan laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, okay. When I start a family later, I'll pretend to be silly and won't know anything."

"That won't do either."

Grandma was afraid she would go too far: "We don't do heavy labor. For work that is light and can be shown off, do it quickly—we can't suffer, and we can't let others pick on us..."

Such a simple-minded idea of being a daughter-in-law!

However, it was quite reasonable.

Song Tan responded while starting the car.

But she was happy too early; Grandma's concern obviously didn't stop there.

Once in the car, Grandma was still asking:

"Tan Tan, you've been graduated for two years now; when are you planning to find a partner?"

"What kind do you want to find? I'll have people ask around."

Song Tan's heart trembled.

She could joke with her mom, but with an elder like Grandma... if she said to ask around, it would really be asking around through social connections!

This time she didn't dare to talk about cutting rice or digging tea mountains, so she racked her brains:

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm still young."

"Grandma knows you're young!"

Why else would they say ginger is still old and spicy?

The old lady looked at her granddaughter happily... she was good in every way!

"Being young doesn't stop you from finding a partner."

"Don't worry, I won't urge you to get married either. You date first, date for two years, and then get married when you're twenty-four or twenty-five, just in time to have children..."

Oh my mom!

Song Tan's heart was trembling.

Her grandma thought so comprehensively!

If she sat in the car for another half hour, she would probably have figured out which university the children would attend!

It was a pity she had lost the initiative, and now it was even harder to talk about.

Song Tan had to pretend to be profound:

"At my home, the land hasn't been tidied up yet; I don't have the leisure."

"Dating doesn't delay things; why don't you have the leisure?"

Grandma, as someone who had been through it, had her own set of principles:

"Young people nowadays don't need to do anything when dating; aren't there people for the housework at home? What must you do yourself? Just go date! Watch a movie, go shopping... isn't that happier than doing farm work at home?"

Song Tan thought it really wasn't!

Sure enough, no matter how old a person is, they still need their own career and pursuit.

Her grandma had been doing farm work at home for so many years and taking care of Grandfather; now, communicating seemed more difficult than with Grandma.

But don't be afraid, Fairy Tan had her own ways.

So she also sighed deeply:

"Grandma, actually, I think like this—now Qiao Qiao is learning a craft, and I am farming at home; both are being explored."

"For these two years, don't consider dating first. I'll let Qiao Qiao learn the craft first so he can take care of himself later."

"I'll save more money so my parents don't have to worry about their retirement. When I have money in my hands later, can't I pick a partner with better conditions and a matching status?" ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
