Chapter 559

Grandpa Qi Lin was right; they used buckets for Professor Song, and for them, it was two bottles each. When bottling, Tang Xiaodong leaned over:

"How come you seem to know so much?"

His eyebrows twitched, and his whole person appeared exceptionally lively. Grandpa Qi Lin had once envied such extroversion, and this moment was no exception:

"Where I'm from, there are sandstorms, little sunshine, and it's especially cold when it gets cold. The locals all drink the shochu from there, and the alcohol content is close to 60 percent."

One sip, and it feels like you've been slashed by a knife from your mouth to your throat, followed by a sudden, permeating heat that steams through your whole body, allowing one to step out the door in an exceptionally dry and cold environment...

"And you?" Tang Xiaodong asked curiously.

Grandpa Qi Lin smiled calmly: "I could drink two liang when I was ten."

After all, they were too poor, and the attention and education given to children were completely different from those in the city. Those points of child-rearing that people emphasized so much were things that hadn't even been heard of in the village.

Of course, like all villages, the hometown had gradually lost its young people.

"Holy crap!"

He thought of the price of Yanran's camera and lens, which was over twenty thousand... Damn it, I only have a second-hand, aged single-lens reflex camera that I bought for 3,000 yuan by scrimping and saving!

Secondly, there's no sense of achievement; after all, the fish caught at home are never eaten! Although I love fishing, I'm not obsessed to that extent—the fish fry just put into the pond are more flavorful than the ones caught outside!

Until Wu Lan, on the other hand, never resisted and was full of confidence: "That's fine, I'll accompany his dad to do the practice questions—I've been able to get over eighty points for a long time anyway!"

Anyway, whenever there's something good, it's sent by express delivery; everyone is used to it.

Eating and taking things, if I don't do a bit more work, I really can't face it! Now that I hear Tang Xiaodong and his wife are going to learn to drive, it's simply a god-given opportunity!

Tang Xiaodong:...

Tang Xiaodong calculated for a while: "Planning to harvest corn tomorrow..."

Therefore, he made the decision directly: "You look at the questions again, I'll help you sign up for the Subject 1 exam tomorrow, and once you pass, I'll send you to town to learn to drive!"

"Right, right, right!" Everyone added in a jumble:

"Isn't it just less than a mu of land? Don't worry, the three of us will finish harvesting it in one afternoon!"

Tang Xiaodong:...

If you want plants to grow well, sunlight, water, and fertilizer are indispensable.

How should I put it, he didn't know about Lu Chuan's injury; after all, he heard that when Grandpa Qi Lin came back, there was only a small wound on his head, so he thought nothing had happened... At this moment, he was actually quite envious.

It's better to use various natural fermented fertilizers from the beginning, combined with microbial adjustments; it's truly green and ecological! "I think we need to buy one!" Yanran said thoughtfully: "If we harvest all the corn at once, we definitely won't eat it all in one go, right? When the time comes, the corn kernels will be dried and shelled, and the corn cobs can just be put through a crusher at home to feed the pigs."

Song Tan's second-hand GoPro has better pixels than that camera!

!

Besides, it's so convenient for my daughter to drive this pickup truck! I want to drive it too! I want to haul a truckload of things!

"Yeah." Grandpa Qi Lin was even calmer: "Alcohol damages the brain. I want to live a better life, so of course I can't ruin my brain, and naturally, I don't drink."

As for this liquor... I was originally pondering whether to send a few more jin to my son. Now it seems it might not even be enough for myself, let alone worrying about a son who is far away!

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

"Then we're having a dinner party and drinking, and you said you wouldn't drink!"

"Uncle, don't worry, you have us at home. We are also very capable of doing work. Just tell us what needs to be done today, and the three of us will go and do it immediately!"

Cao Junze was still a bit hesitant: "There's work at home..."

That, that's driving a three-wheeler! No one checks for a driver's license for three-wheelers in the village! And is it that I don't want to take the test? It's clearly that there are too many questions in Subject 1, and I forget the beginning after memorizing the end...

By then, it will take a lot of effort to improve it.

"Doesn't your family also grow green beans and red beans? If you cut the vines back and crush them for fermented fertilizer, it will be faster, and it will just happen to catch up with the excavator turning the soil on the mountain."

It's just that for such good things in their family, if they only use chemical fertilizers and urea all year round, it's inevitable that the soil will harden and the fertility will solidify over time, and there will be no way to supplement the various different nutritional elements that plants need...

"Doesn't Uncle Zhang know how to make fermented fertilizer? If there's a crusher at home, those vines and such that can't be used and can't be burned can just be crushed, including the vines pulled out by the excavator on the mountain. Fermenting them is both natural and saves money."

Grandpa Qi Lin, however, remembered: "Dad, you and Mom really need to go take the driver's license test. Not to mention anything else, when the construction on the mountain is finished later and things need to be hauled, I can't be the only one driving back and forth, right?"

Without waiting for Tang Xiaodong to say anything else, Song Tan added: "Uncle, don't worry. Harvest corn in the afternoon, drag the corn stalks back in the evening, and chop them up to feed the pigs tomorrow—Grandpa Qi Lin, if you're willing to buy a crusher, you can crush them directly to make feed."

As for now, I can only think about it.

Song Sancheng, who had just obtained two jin of good liquor, squeezed over directly:

Forget it!

He muttered: "If I really wanted to live a good life, my grades would have allowed me to transfer departments long ago..."

There was only a hundred or so jin of liquor in total. After dividing it up like this, the jar was visibly less full. Cao Jun set aside Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun's share (seven jin each), and thought about Wu Lei...

Anyway, they will definitely drink when they eat, so I won't give it to them for now.

It must be shown!

It was just that Tang Xiaodong had some regrets. At this moment, he stared at the sorghum and rice husks left over from the distillation and lamented: "If I were still fishing, it would be great to use this for bait!"

Thinking of this, Great-Uncle couldn't help but feel proud again.

For one thing, there's always something to do at home, and the weather is too hot, so he's too lazy to go fishing.

But on second thought—people are willing to save lives, so giving them a lifetime's worth is only right and proper! Besides, what am I comparing myself to him for? In Grandpa Qi Lin's house, what food or drink doesn't have to pass through my hands first?

Half a year has passed, and Tang Xiaodong's hair is shiny, and the wrinkles on his face have smoothed out a bit. His mental state and memory shouldn't be worse than they were half a year ago, right?

Tang Xiaodong was shocked!

As for the rest... just keep it for ourselves to drink! After all, there are so many people!

He pondered the candidates for the construction site chef... Oh my, I know many people, but it's really hard to pick someone who has good skills, low prices, and is willing to come to this village!

It's just that in his spare time, Great-Uncle also muttered—saving a person and having such good things every day!

Theirs were all divided and bottled, and Grandpa Qi Lin also came over: "Great-Uncle, bottle two for me too... forget it, five jin!"

Therefore, he even took the initiative to say: "You don't need to send us to town. His dad can ride the motorcycle and the two of us can go back and forth, which is more convenient than you driving!"

Yanran, on the other hand, held two bottles of liquor and giggled foolishly: "My dad and mom both love to drink. When the liquor is sent back, I'll ask for some pocket money to buy a new lens!"

But it doesn't matter, I still have a drone sponsored by a tech company... Of course, everyone on Professor Song's team has one.

Song Sancheng:...

He still wanted to find an excuse, but Grandpa Qi Lin was thinking that the family eats things from the land during the day, and when I practice at night, there is still some slight spiritual energy diffusing...

Fine, fine, fine.
