Chapter 545: The Eldest Aunt's Guilt

After Professor Song hung up the phone, Zhang Yanping received the other party's gratitude, followed immediately by a gift of thirty or fifty jin of spices...

Oh, this.

They really hadn't intended to plant willows this morning!

And since everyone was sending thirty or fifty jin... wouldn't the cost for three or five thousand portions suddenly be much lower?

There's such a good thing?

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he looked at Song Tan, who had already returned from the mountain:

"Tan Tan, look, this is the spice they insisted on giving us; I've already tallied it up. Once this goes on the shelves, won't there be at least three or five thousand portions?"

"With such a large quantity, wouldn't it be bad for me, the customer service, to take a break? How about we wait until it's sold out?"

When is there ever a time when braising spice packets are sold out?

Song Tan thought about the tea leaves still unharvested on the mountain, and at this moment, she waved her hand with exceptional generosity:

"It's fine, Brother Yanping. Haven't you already listed them? I'll just set the inventory based on the quantity."

"Once the quantity is up, just hire a few more people to pack them... As for the shipping, isn't there still Brother Xiao Zhang?"

After she finished speaking, she seemed a bit guilty: "Logically, I should give you four days off a month. You've been working for several months now; it's normal to pool them together for a month's vacation. You don't have to feel too embarrassed."

Zhang Yanping:...

Really, no need to feel embarrassed, really!

Song Tan even appeared exceptionally considerate: "Don't worry, I won't let you face the Eldest Aunt alone—I'll drive you!"

While at it, she could send Wang Lei back, send Xin Jun to the train station, and deliver some things to the Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle's homes...

Oh my, everyone else is on summer vacation, yet she is still so busy!

If we're talking about going home, the one who was truly happy and laughing all the way was Wang Lei.

Once he got in the car, he couldn't sit still, constantly fussing with his phone, completely ignoring the miserable state of Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun in the back seat.

While constantly asking: "Tan Tan, how should I apologize to Lili when the time comes?"

And while feeling annoyed: "I really am! Last time, that leech must have been too close and scared her. I should have just let her take a look at the leech on my calf and shown her how hard I was working, that would have been enough..."

Song Tan glanced at him, thinking that they were all related by blood, so why was there such a huge gap between people's brains!

Looking again at Wang Lei's dark complexion, now second only to Zhang Yanping's, she truly felt sorry for Lili—even if his character wasn't good, there were laws and morals to condemn him, why go to such lengths!

Seriously, she wasn't afraid of a boyfriend being poor, nor was she afraid of a boyfriend being stupid, she was only afraid of a boyfriend having something wrong with his brain!

Fortunately, the Eldest Uncle's house wasn't far; the car arrived in less than half an hour. It was hot today, and the Eldest Aunt hadn't gone to the mountain either. She was hugging a large bundle of garlic sprouts and walking toward the courtyard. Seeing Song Tan's car, she was instantly pleasantly surprised:

"Oh my, Tan Tan is here!"

Song Tan got out of the car and reached out to hold that bundle of garlic sprouts: "Eldest Aunt, why are you getting so many garlic sprouts?"

"Hey!" The Eldest Aunt dodged: "There's mud on this, don't touch it!"

While muttering: "It's hot, it gets old quickly. If you're not careful, the garlic stalks will shoot out. I didn't want to stay in the field because it was too hot, so I pulled them back to clean them up!"

While greeting Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun, who had also gotten out of the car to say hello: "Oh my, Yanping has such a good physique now! It's just that he's tanned... go home and take good care of yourself, otherwise it won't be easy to find a girlfriend."

Looking again at Xin Jun's handsome and fair appearance, her eyes were filled with capital letters of envy—why were other people's sons so fair and steady?

Looking again at her own son, who was sticking his butt out and rummaging through the car door to clean up odds and ends, the Eldest Aunt really didn't want to bother with him!

You, Tan Tan gave you a ride back, even if that pile of stuff isn't packed well, would it be lost if you left it for two minutes?

Everyone has already chatted for a round, and you're still packing!

What, is your luggage packed piece by piece?

Comparing people to people is infuriating. The Eldest Aunt looked at the cheerful Zhang Yanping and then at the polite Xin Jun, and she was truly furious! She simply ignored him and continued chatting:

"Tan Tan, why haven't your grandparents come back yet? I called them and said I'd pick them up, but neither of them is willing!"

"When you go back, persuade them. It's not convenient for them to always be at your house. They've been living there for a month now; people will think your Eldest Uncle is unfilial!"

To be fair, without having to take care of the elderly, although the Eldest Aunt had one less person to help out during this time, life was also rarely relaxed.

But they had been together for so many years, and after a long time, she felt lonely without anyone to talk to. Plus, with the old concepts in the countryside, having the old parents not living at the son's house but instead living at the daughter's house made it seem like they had mistreated them...

As an executor of traditional concepts, the Eldest Aunt was now also sincerely wanting her parents-in-law to return.

Anyway, they wouldn't live together, just sharing a courtyard; it was truly cold and cheerless without anyone!

Oh my, Song Tan couldn't persuade them!

Instead, she persuaded the Eldest Aunt: "Just let my grandparents stay at my house. Now they are helping out at my grandfather's place, earning quite a bit of money every day, and there's someone to talk to—my grandfather said his legs haven't hurt since!"

"There are hardly any people left in the village now, let whoever wants to talk talk! Besides, grandparents are earning money! If anyone asks again, just say they went to work..."

These words made the Eldest Aunt laugh.

She knew that the old couple went to weave straw mats, one person could make one mat a day, and one mat was 80... Oh my, when they video chatted, the old lady's face was round, and the old man was in high spirits, and they had said a lot!

Now, over at Song Youde's place, there was endless talk every day, endless money to earn, they were having a great time!

Wang Lei's luggage was finally packed—there wasn't much luggage, just some local specialties and such, but he wanted to take it all in one hand and give his mother a shock when he turned around—and so, he didn't hold it steady when he got out of the car, and it scattered all over the place.

He had spent a lot of effort packing it!

At this moment, he finally carried a full load, and hearing his mother mention his grandparents, he subconsciously said: "Mom, your skills are far worse than Seventh Uncle's. Our family's food isn't delicious at all. My grandparents are being raised to be rosy-cheeked at Tan Tan's place... don't you worry about it!"

Oh my! Oh my! Listen to these words, the Eldest Aunt's head was buzzing!

And Wang Lei was still oblivious, at this moment carrying the things and showing off wildly:

"Mom! These are the specialties I bought with my wages from working hard on the farm! Look, I haven't been working in vain these past few months, right?"

He had bought a lot of things! First peaches, then watermelons, and now pickles, chili peppers, and braising spice packets. Before leaving, Wu Lan even let him hug two long pumpkins!

Truly, full to the brim!

The Eldest Aunt twitched the corners of her mouth, smiling without warmth: "Yes, my son is quite capable. In the two months you've been working, you must have spent thousands of yuan of your wages, right?"

Thousands?

Five thousand, all saved in the Eldest Aunt's hands.

Shamefully, her son had been working for three years in total, including his internship and graduation, and she hadn't seen a single cent, at most receiving a red envelope from the child on his birthday.

Now it was better; staying at Tan Tan's place, he could save 5,000 in two months! And there was always food at home...

Thinking of this, the look she gave Song Tan was full of guilt—this was all Tan Tan using her own money and things to subsidize them! ===== CHAPTER 546 =====
