Chapter 45: Eldest Sister-in-law

~8 min read 1,464 words

"Hardware store, annoying!"

Song Qiao Song Qiao got into the car angrily.

Song Tan smiled and rubbed his head: "Good, sister also thinks they are not good, let's come less in the future."

Song Qiao Song Qiao touched the QR code on his chest aggrievedly, accusing: "He didn't give money."

"It's okay, look at our vegetables being so delicious, after eating once, she will definitely want to—next time Song Qiao Song Qiao sells vegetables harder, speed up, we won't sell to her!"

This is not coaxing a child, purely because Song Tan feels that for people like the eldest sister-in-law, even if she leaves vegetables for her, she is afraid that she will publicize it to the whole world—

"Twenty yuan a jin! If it weren't for taking care of relatives, I wouldn't be willing to spend this money!"

What's more, looking at her uncle and the others today, they don't believe that these vegetables are twenty a jin at all. If they come to buy vegetables later, it's shameful in front of everyone...

Hey, why is it a bit refreshing to think about it?

Song Tan condemned herself for being unstable in her heart, but Song Qiao Song Qiao was already beaming: "Yes! Don't sell! Don't give her to eat!"

Then black bright eyes looked at her: "Go home?"

Song Tan came back to her senses: "We have to send vegetables to uncle, and we have to send vegetables to aunt, right? Have to be average."

Song Qiao Song Qiao's brows frowned even more: "Aunt, a little bit bad."

Turning his head to look at the small basket of vegetables in the back seat, he turned to struggle:

"Give it to aunt, aunt is better than the hardware store."

Song Tan's aunt married a city worker in the eighties as a village girl. The other party liked her beauty and her virtuousness and housekeeping.

Virtuous is really virtuous, and housekeeping is really housekeeping.

Just by relying on the couple, one selling pancakes and one working, they could afford a large flat in the center of the city for their only son, you know how capable they are!

However, despite this, the old couple still lived in the old unit family courtyard.

The little pickup truck was accurately stuck in a small space in the family courtyard, avoiding the possibility of being ticketed by the traffic police. Song Tan took Song Qiao Song Qiao and just got out of the car, and heard someone ask hesitantly: "You... are relatives of Song Hongmei, right?"

Song Tan was stunned, and then saw the aunts who asked—they were also about to buy vegetables, and they were also carrying plastic bags, vaguely visible with green onions, garlic, and green vegetables.

She nodded: "Yes, my aunt is called Song Song Hongmei, she planted some vegetables in her hometown, I brought some for my aunt to eat fresh."

When she said this, the aunts opposite laughed: "I remembered when you came for the New Year—I thought whose child, why are the siblings so good-looking? Later I asked and found out it was Song Hongmei's relative!"

Mainly, there is no secret in the family courtyard, Song Hongmei has a beautiful silly nephew, everyone knows.

And although Song Qiao Song Qiao looks like an adult, his eyes are different—most importantly, he has a pink Peppa sticker on his face!

Looking at the vegetables in the basket again: "Oh my, what kind of vegetables? So fresh... Song Hongmei is really blessed, to have such a beautiful nephew and niece. Girl, do you have a partner?"

Song Tan:...

Polite words were said for two or three rounds, and finally got rid of these overly enthusiastic aunts. Song Tan walked to the unit door and could still hear the aunts whispering:

"Song Hongmei's nephew and niece are really good-looking."

"It is estimated that she is also a person who can live a life, look at her coming to see her aunt, she brought a basket of vegetables..."

"Look at what you said, eating is not poor, wearing is not poor, calculating is not a lifetime of poverty, Song Hongmei is stingy, but she is still a good person, worthy of being a couple..."

Song Tan walked in the corridor and couldn't help laughing.

It seems that her aunt's reputation for stinginess is known to everyone!

Aunt Song Song Hongmei had just returned from the vegetable market.

She had a pancake cart near the family courtyard, and had been selling pancakes for twenty years. It couldn't be said that it was famous, it could only be said that everyone was used to eating it.

Every time the cart closed at ten o'clock, she would tidy up, and go to the vegetable market at eleven o'clock. The time management was done accurately!

Most importantly, the vegetable market was basically closed at eleven o'clock, and the remaining vegetables were either cheaply processed or not fresh. Aunt could sweep the army in this time period, kill seven in and seven out, and strive to cut the price to the lowest!

If she couldn't cut it, she wouldn't buy it.

Not coming to pick up rotten vegetable leaves every day was the aunt's last luxury and decency.

Now it was 11:30, some families might have already cooked, but Aunt's family absolutely wouldn't.

Song Tan knocked on the door.

Aunt's husband would retire in two years, and his son was also working. When Aunt opened the door, she was really surprised:

"Tan Tan? Why are you here? Aren't you working? Oh my, don't ask for leave, it's a loss to deduct wages!"

Turning her head, she greeted Song Qiao Song Qiao: "My big nephew is even more handsome, come, come in, aunt will get you cookies."

Aunt really took cookies—two packs of Want Want Snow Biscuits, one pack for each of the siblings.

Song Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this was really Aunt's greatest sincerity!

Song Qiao Song Qiao had already skillfully started to tear the bag, while saying: "Aunt, send vegetables to you."

Aunt looked and found that there were five bundles of Chinese milk vetch in the small basket. She didn't dislike it at all, but was overjoyed:

"Oh my! This vegetable is really fresh, there are vegetables for lunch, don't stir-fry it first! One meal in the evening, two meals for lunch and dinner tomorrow, and two meals the day after tomorrow—three days of green vegetable money are saved, I will make an extra meat!"

Aunt was overjoyed and arranged it quickly.

After arranging, she remembered: "Tan Tan, are you staying for lunch? If you stay, I will stir-fry this green vegetable."

Song Tan hurriedly gave Aunt a reassurance: "No, aunt, my mom is waiting at home, I just want to ask if you know where to sell ducklings? I plan to raise some ducks in my hometown."

Song Song Hongmei thought for a moment: "There really is one, you wait, it's not far, I'll take you there!"

"But aunt, aren't you still cooking..."

"It's okay, it's really not far, I'll take you! You young people don't bargain when buying things, I'll go talk about the price for you! After buying, I'll go home and cook..."

Song Tan:...

This was really the effort of lightning, Song Qiao Song Qiao hadn't even finished eating a snow biscuit.

However, Aunt didn't lie, it was really not far.

After turning into the alley inside the family courtyard, passing through an iron gate that looked locked but wasn't, drilling into a small alley, and finally coming to a dilapidated low old courtyard.

Aunt knocked on one of the doors:

"Old Zhang, do you have ducklings?"

"I won't sell wholesale at the school gate! I'm not selling pet ducks!" The man inside shouted.

Aunt was already impatient: "When did I bring anyone to sell pet ducks? Hurry up, I brought relatives to buy, you implement the price for me, don't delay my time with blind prices. After buying, I have to go home and cook..."

The man inside opened the door, full of grievance: "Sister, sometimes I wish you wouldn't buy." ===== CHAPTER 48 =====

Of course, as an old-fashioned man, Song Song Dafang did indeed feel that rural land was no business for a girl, but he had never said it out loud!

Besides, with his nephew in such a state, wasn't his daughter-in-law's remark just stabbing at both of their hearts?

Sun Sun Yanyan curled her lip: "Qiaoqiao has been a fool for ten or twenty years, are we still afraid of people talking? I'm just kindly giving them a reminder, aren't I? Tantan is pretty; if she finds someone with a good family background later, saying it out early will save others from being picky!"
