Chapter 701: Mid-Autumn Festival Plan

~8 min read 1,407 words

"No."

Old Xu waved his hand decisively: "They came out with me, few are close to home, they all want to earn money."

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time to rush work, we can't just take two or three days off at once, right? When winter comes and construction can't be done, the holiday will be long! The weather is just right now, so it's better to work more and earn more money to be happy."

He said and laughed again: "But since you are so generous to give festival gifts, I can't refuse—don't send them separately, just take them to the kitchen directly. At worst, I'll say a few good words to Master Qian tomorrow and let him make us a big meal!"

For example, meat, don't stew potatoes, cabbage, and beans, just stew a pot of braised pork and eat it to your heart's content!

Old Xu calculated very thoroughly: "You buy some meat and fruits, I'll move some wine tomorrow, and we'll finish work early in the evening!"

He was a bit embarrassed: "It's just that Master Qian is tired..."

"It's okay!" Master Qian is happy holding a teacup every day now, Song Tan knew his character early:

"I'll let him prepare the stewed meat, marinated dishes, and cold dishes in advance, and he and Aunt Xiaofeng will get off work at six o'clock."

"You finish work early, and he finishes work early."

This year for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Lan and Song Sancheng seemed more excited than in previous years, busy preparing a lot.

Song Tan only thought about it and understood. Before, she was in another place, and Qiao Qiao was like that. In the big environment of the village, the old couple's old age life was destined to be hard.

Relatives lived better than at home, and it was normal to feel slightly uncomfortable during the festival.

And now, not to mention how much money they earn, anyway, the family is only in debt now. But just look at Qiao Qiao's happy appearance now...

Song Tan smiled, and then asked: "Mom, anyway, Grandma and Grandpa are reluctant to go back now, how about inviting Uncle and Aunt to our house for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"

"Dad, is Aunt coming back tomorrow? Let's eat together at our house!"

Then turned to ask Zhang Yanping: "Brother Yanping, you ask Aunt if she wants to eat together tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes!" Wu Lan nodded: "Our family's food you know, the paste is just made, let them take a few bottles when they leave."

She looked at Zhang Yanping expectantly, and looked at Wu Lei.

Wu Lei hesitated: "My mom might want to go to my grandma's place, I'll ask..."

"Okay!" Wu Lan didn't force it: "If your mom wants to go to your grandma's place, you are also on holiday tomorrow, go home and accompany the old man."

Wu Lei hummed and hawed.

Well, their family doesn't have so much delicious food... He doesn't want to be on holiday... After all, there is no work tomorrow.

And if he goes back, he will definitely be scolded by his mom.

Zhang Yanping laughed: "My mom probably won't come. The festival is just the time to sell gift boxes, she has advanced a lot of fruit gift boxes, if she really eats, I guess it will be in the evening."

"It's okay, evening is evening."

Song Sancheng also pondered: "Aunt must come at noon."

Why? Purely because there are special price meat and vegetables in the supermarket in the evening, they are reluctant to miss it.

Wu Lan looked at him: "You tell Aunt, our vegetable garden has a lot of vegetables. Although the variety is not as complete as the supermarket, beans, chili, eggplant, cucumber, water spinach can all be picked, let her bring a few more bags."

Song Tan couldn't help laughing—good guy, this is pinching Aunt's lifeline!

No need to think, Aunt must be there at noon and evening!

It's just that Seventh Cousin and Master Wang have really worked hard during this period, Song Tan thought, one still has to shine in his own home for many years.

The other's apprentice is about to shine in his own home for many years.

So she was also especially generous: "Seventh Cousin, Master Wang, you have worked hard. The festival gifts tomorrow are not much, one jin of silver fungus each!"

Wang Xiaoshun was instantly happy: "Okay, I'll tell Master later!"

The festival is the busiest time for their hotel, they are used to being busy during the festival, and now Boss Song is so generous...

He laughed, thinking he must tell his senior brother to perform well!

The Zisu sauce is finished, what should they do next? The autumn chili in the field is red, why don't he and Master make more chili oil, or cut some chili sauce?

Song Sancheng hesitated: "Then should we invite Big Brother?"

Good guy! Wu Lan's eyebrows stood up: "You want to invite?"

"I don't want to, I don't want to!"

Song Sancheng waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm afraid the old man sees everyone happy, and feels uncomfortable in his heart!"

"It's okay," Song Tan took out her mobile phone: "I entrusted Zhao Fangyuan to draw the design drawing of Grandpa's house, and I will ask Aunt to help refer to it tomorrow."

With a new house, who cares about that one son?

In short, everyone in the family seems to be happy.

Song Tan asked thoughtfully: "Xin Jun, do you want a three-day holiday alone to go home and see?"

"Absolutely not!"

Xin Jun stretched out his hand, making a "

That frail little body of yours has only just recovered after all that moxibustion and eating and drinking during this time; you can't handle it!

Song Tan:... What's going on? Why don't the people working here like to take holidays?

She looked at Professor Song again.

Professor Song calculated for a moment: "Taking a holiday is fine. For the next week, the seedlings on the mountain aren't too big yet, so there's no need to prepare fertilizer now, nor is there a need to start pest control... Since that's the case, we'll go back and stay for a few days first."

"Especially Xiao Qi; his home is far away, and it takes a lot of time on the road, so he might come back later."

Song Tan smiled:

"Professor Song, you are in charge of everything at my place; I was just asking. If you are leaving tomorrow, I will pack some things for you to take back."

"These past few months have truly been hard work."

"No rush, no rush." Yan Ran had the most sensible personality, and she took out her phone: "Let's check if there are tickets first."

Professor Song:... Forget it. Having stayed in the mountains for so long, it seems they are all becoming disconnected from society. With such a big event as a holiday, the first thing they thought of wasn't grabbing tickets!

He looked down at his phone again: "Alright, no need to think about it, there are no tickets. Let's wait for a while."

"Fine," Song Tan laughed: "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. In another month or two, the dormitory on the mountain will be finished. By then, you will each have your own room, and it will be just right to go home and rest for a while, then bring your family over to play."

As for how to entertain the family when they come, and how to account for the food and drink... she would have to discuss that with her family later.

But for now, Professor Song and the others said in surprise: "It's already being built?"

Song Tan nodded: "The furniture and such are all bought as finished products, so it will be built very quickly."

If you ventilate it well when painting the walls, there won't be any hidden dangers when you move in.

"By November at the latest, you should be able to move in."

There is still an "autumn tiger" here in October—to be precise, spring and autumn are actually very short, and winter arrives before you even react.

Professor Song calculated the time and felt that November was just right!

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with harmony and joy.

High above the firmament, the bright moon hung, beautiful as a mirror.
