Song Tan Jishi

  Chapter 27 27. It has to be you

   "Dad, when will the purse seiner come?"

   "It will come later."

  Song Tan looked at the budding chestnut trees on the hillside, intending to enclose the entire forest, and then plant black fungus and white fungus in the forest.

  As for this piece of chestnut forest, she knows that the family has not taken care of them for so many years, so that the annual mature production depends on God's will.

  Chestnuts need to be grafted, pruned and fertilized, and it is not easy to take care of them.

  Their Yunqiao Village is too remote, and chestnuts are not famous products. The purchase price is only one or two yuan a year, which is much more expensive than the eight cents in Song Tan's childhood memory.

   But the problem is that the young people in the village who can earn this money have already left their hometowns for the cities.

  Older people, such as Song Sancheng and the others, can no longer do such heavy farm work.

  Time makes people old!

   And in the middle of the hillside, there is a wild chestnut tree as high as a three-story building, towering and blocking out the sun, just growing in the middle of the slope.

  This is an old wild tree that has never been taken care of at home. The chestnut ball is not much bigger than a ping pong ball, and the peeled chestnut is as big as a thumb, but it tastes delicious.

   At the beginning, Grandpa Song Youde left it on purpose.

  Song Tan looked up at it, drooling for some reason. I think of the time when I was surrounded by the stove in winter and listened to the "bang" of chestnuts...

   Rich burnt aroma, soft and sweet.

  She did not hesitate to gather a soybean-sized aura, and slowly patted the tree trunk bit by bit, feeling the tree roots stretching freely in the ground, and then reluctantly looked back—

   "It's long! The Chinese New Year is up to you!"

  Song Sancheng had already called her from the front: "Come and see, it's okay to build a piling fence here?"

  It is too expensive for them to enclose barbed wire here, and it is still an ordinary rope net. Most of the time, it's just a hint to those who are used to taking the sheep by the hand—

  Whoever has an owner, don't move.

  The so-called defense against gentlemen is not against villains. Most of the facilities in rural areas are basically like this.

  Song Tan made a calculation in his heart, and then nodded: "Okay, let's go here."

  Song Sancheng saw her solemn posture, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at you, you look pretty good—just like you really know how to do it."

  Song Tan also coaxed her father: "Then what if your daughter is really talented, right? It must be my father, who is willing to listen to me and give me room to display my talent!"

  Song Sanguo was really coaxed into a dizzy state: "That is, when you were young, I let you ride on your neck every day—"

   After saying this, Song Sancheng looked around and said secretly, "Tan Tan, you have earned a lot during this time, right?"

  It is now the middle of March, and Song Tan has sold wild vegetables six times - indeed, he has made a lot of money, all of which are 15,000, and half of the car has returned.

  Song Tan looked at her father with a smile: "It is true that I have some money on hand, what do you want to do, Dad?"

Song Sancheng was overjoyed, coyly: "Then what - don't you like fish? Dad plans to go fishing when it's raining and there is no work. Do you remember your Uncle Wu in our village? He bought a new fishing rod, More than five hundred!"

   "Look, how about...you buy me one too? If your mother wants to ask, just say 80."

  Hey, he has no other hobbies now, he just wants to fish!

  Song Tan felt sour for a while—the family was so frugal, isn't it because of their siblings?

   But speaking of fishing rods…

  Song Tan also discussed with his father: "Dad, if you can quit smoking, you can save one or two thousand yuan a year. Then I will add 2000 yuan to you, and let's buy a 4000 yuan stick!"

  Song Sancheng:…

  He was silent for a moment: "You don't understand, those who really know how to fish don't look at the fishing rod at all. You don't need a fishing rod that costs thousands of dollars, and now I feel quite comfortable with this one."

   Yes, this is a fishing rod and tobacco, tobacco is even better!

   It seems unrealistic to ask her dad to quit smoking for a while.

  Song Tan thought for a while, and simply took out the phone: "But Dad, you have worked hard these days, isn't it just a fishing rod? It's about a few wild vegetables! What kind do you want, you choose first!"

  The sound of cars in the distance is coming from far to near—the person delivering the fence has arrived.

  …

  Back home, Ulan was still spotting fungi at Song Youde's place—it should have been arranged earlier, but because the humidity of the trees cut down a while ago was too high, he had to dry the trunks for a few days before punching holes.

   It's just officially planted now.

  Song Sancheng also had a smile on his face: "The people who came here are all from your grandparents' generation, chatting with your grandparents every day, they are much more energetic."

   "All the elderly people in our village have come, but I didn't invite two—the two ordinary people can't stand it."

  Song Tan knew which two it was.

  One is the kind that their village is famous for being unreasonable, and their own children can't do anything about it.

  One is a fierce man who dared to poison other people's livestock in order to steal a pumpkin (attempted)...

   That is to say, people like this can be found everywhere, and they can only be avoided.

  Song Sancheng was also speechless when he thought about it, and now he simply talked about another matter:

"But Tantan, we didn't mention the money at the beginning - after all, they are old, you want to say that you will pay, and then you will have a headache or fall while walking. The family said that this is employment and you will lose money. We can't tell. of."

  Although they are all from the village, there are not a few unreasonable people in the village.

  It’s still good, Wang Lifen yelled in the village, anyone who wants to come can come, and those who take care of food and drink will have someone to chat with as company. For the lonely old people, it is enough to make people happy.

   Not to mention that Song Sancheng also said that when the work is done, one person will carry two knives, and everyone will work harder.

  But Song Sancheng was careful, and now he discussed with Song Tan again:

   "But I thought, when we grow so many things at home, and Tan Tan you don't allow spraying, isn't this some kind of green organic? It must be expensive by then, right?"

That is required.

  Song Tan now holds wild vegetables at 20 yuan a catty, in order to create this price advantage.

  Song Sancheng has been in the village all year round, but his thoughts are becoming more and more thoughtful:

   "I thought, if our family has this thing, and they pick it up later, we can't say it is right?"

  This is the case in my hometown, with pros and cons.

"Even if you don't pick it, just in case people in the village want to buy it. It's too expensive, and people say we're not humane. It's too cheap, and it's not suitable—otherwise, when the work is done, each person will give a black fungus stick and a white fungus stick. .”

   "Tan Tan, what do you think?"

  Song Tan really didn't expect this - cultivators have array disks or enchantments when farming, and no one would consider others to take them!

  Now she nodded repeatedly and gave Song Sancheng a thumbs up:

   "Dad, it has to be you!"

  Song Sancheng laughed triumphantly: "That is! Your father and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!"

   Two unreasonable ones, which will be mentioned in subsequent chapters.

   In addition, the values ​​​​of the village are like this, and so is the society of human relations.

   For the elderly, it is also a precautionary measure (a few years ago when my relatives went to the park to dance, an old lady died of a sudden heart attack. As a result, the children asked the aunts of the entire dance team to claim 500,000 yuan...)
