Chapter 227 227. Preparing to collect vegetables

At eight o'clock in the evening, the courtyard of Lao Song's house was once again crowded with people.

It is rare that the seventh cousin has not gone back. At this moment, he is standing in front of the stove preparing to give everyone a supper at night.

Song Tan also advised him: "Seventh cousin, please go back. You are so old, so don't stay up late. Let's cook some noodles at night and cut some braised pork prepared during the day... We can all do this job."

If you put more cabbage in the noodles, the taste will not make you feel neglected.

The seventh cousin snorted: "Why are you afraid of staying up late? Let me tell you, don't look down on us elderly people. If we eat well and sleep soundly, we don't stay up all night. Our health is better than yours."

"Besides, I won't stay with you guys. You take Qiao Qiao down to the fields to get a few more baskets of cabbage. I'll make some dumplings at home, and you guys can eat them at night. I'll go back by myself after I've made them."

Song Tan couldn't help but be moved: "Seventh cousin! How can you be so considerate! Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you when you take care of yourself in the future. If you go to the hospital, I will carry one under my arm!"

The seventh cousin glared at her: "No big or small!"

But there was a smile on his face.

If anyone had said this two months ago, the seventh cousin would have felt really uncomfortable.

Because as people get older, they can feel it. My energy and endurance are not as good as before, and even a good night's sleep is extremely rare. I usually feel somewhat pessimistic and negative when it comes to life, old age, illness and death.

But since arriving at Lao Song's house, all this is no longer a problem.

I fell asleep when I got home and woke up when the rooster crowed in the morning. I was able to take a walk two more times along the way. I felt so energetic!

Moreover, I stir-fry a large pot of vegetables every day, and not only do I not feel tired, but I feel more energetic.

The seventh cousin pondered: Maybe it’s time for the fallen leaves to return to their roots. The soil and water of this hometown are for nourishing people.

Of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, you can never drink the tea given by Song Tan at night.

Make a cup of it in the morning and drink it until it loses its flavor in the afternoon. It’s just right.

If he couldn't help but want to take another drink at night - that's it, he could stay up all night!

Although he didn't feel anything bad the next day, he was getting older and the seventh cousin was taking good care of his health and was determined not to do such a thing.

…

There was a lot of noise in the yard at the moment, and Ulan was handing out headlamps and gauze to everyone who came to work.

The vegetable field is pitch black, and it is convenient for everyone to work with small lamps on their heads. As for the gauze, it needs to be covered over the head. After all, some flying insects are already infested in April. When the lights are turned on at night, That's called a moth flying into a flame!

No need to cover it with a gauze, the bugs will be annoying even if they don't bite.

Most of the people who come to work are women from nearby. They clean the vegetable fields very quickly, and they are still laughing:

“After so many years of farm work, this is the first time I carry this lamp.”

"That's not true," someone nearby answered: "No one has tidied the vegetable field at night! At most, they planted mushrooms in those years and got up early in the morning to break them..."

Song Tan estimated that the truck would be loaded up and set off at 1 a.m., and everyone would still have to work hard in the fields for more than four hours.

Although the weather in April was no longer cold, it was still a bit cold at night. She thought for a while and said, "Cousin, please help me make a pot of white fungus soup before you leave."

The white fungus on their mountain is really worth a sip.

The seventh cousin didn't even raise his head: "Let Qiao Qiao cook it. This soup will never go bad. I'll teach you how to cook it later."

"OK."

After Song Tan said this, he greeted Qiao Qiao directly: "Let's go, let's go to the field to pick a few baskets of cabbage and make dumplings."

There are two acres of Chinese cabbage, and when the light shines on it at night, it becomes a vast area of ​​green. The jade-white pole stands upright, not to mention how energetic it is.

It's a pity that they can't tolerate it. This is one of the reasons why Song Tan plans to plant peppers in the next crop.

Because of the hot weather, this will become stale after a while, which is troublesome.

The person responsible for looking after the vegetable garden is a three-breasted, black-backed, four-horse dog.

They had good jumping ability, and it didn't take long to run from one end of the vegetable garden to the other. Seeing Song Tan coming over in the middle of the night, the two dogs were so excited that they whined and wanted to come over to rub the spiritual energy.

Her slender legs deftly avoided the cabbage ridges and stepped on plum blossom pits in the soil. Song Tan couldn't help laughing and rubbed the dogs' heads one by one: "I don't have much energy tonight."

So, don’t look forward to it, it’s really not the time to go out at night to release spiritual energy.

Then he coaxed them: "Although I ask you to look at the vegetable garden, I don't ask you to stay here every day. Go play when it's time to play. Just pay attention and listen for anything."

Old Man Li is very diligent in serving the rice fields every day. There is usually nothing much going on during the day, mainly at night.

But now only the baby cabbage is ripe, and it will only take a while, so I'm not so worried.

Sanbao Heibei disagrees with this:

"Woof!"

"alright."

Song Tan couldn't help but kiss it on the forehead: "I know you have to work hard, but I have nothing to do tonight. You can play or sleep if you want."

"When I come back, I'll bring you dog food."

As soon as he said this, he heard the four-horse dog beside him whimper. His expression was particularly reluctant, and he looked at Song Tan with a pair of wet and pitiful eyes.

Qiaoqiao said loudly from the side: "Sister, don't buy dog ​​food, they don't like it. They just want to eat our food."

Isn’t that right?

Don’t mention the good things that are sometimes added to our meals. Just say that ordinary dogs also like to eat human food more!

It’s not that they can’t afford it. In fact, many dog ​​foods are much more expensive than human food, but now…

She could only touch the heads of the four treasures with heartache: “There is nothing to eat in the fields now. I can’t cook a pot for you guys every time, right? I will be scolded if I do that.”

“Be good, bear with it for now. It’s summer, and I will arrange all the vines and vegetable leaves for you.”

There will be workers coming to build the house by then. There will be more of them, so it won’t be so obvious if they cook more or less. Just let these treasures eat whatever they like. Anyway, they have spiritual energy, so it doesn’t matter what they eat.

Qiao Qiao had already pulled a basket of Chinese cabbage, and then confirmed again: "Sister, after the vegetables are ready, are we really going to the amusement park?"

Song Tan emphasized helplessly: "Sell the vegetables first, and then we can go to the amusement park."

"Go home and wrap the dumplings later, and you have to go to bed. Sleep until everyone comes back and cook dumplings for them, and then we will set off."

Song Tan herself didn't need to sleep much, but Zhang Yanping insisted on taking turns driving with her, so she let him go to bed first.

Alas, this silly cousin's good days are coming up soon.

After all, when the construction team comes in a few days, he will be forced to sleep with his seventh cousin.

The old man is energetic, and I heard that he gets up at four or five in the morning every day. At his age, what if he wants to ask a young man to be his companion?

Even if he doesn't ask, Zhang Yanping may not be able to fall asleep when the noise of getting up at home is heard.

It's a bit late, but at least I wrote it.

The rest will be done tomorrow.

Good night.

I will definitely turn over a new leaf next month!!! I swear!!! If I can't do it, I will give you red envelopes at the end of the month! I'll bet my radiator!
