Song Tan Jishi

   Urban area.

  Auntie Song Hongmei hung up the phone, walked around the room twice, finally gritted her teeth, and took a bag of Sophora japonica and went to the opposite community.

   Seventh Cousin lives here.

  During the demolition, the old couple wanted to live with their son, so they specially asked for a large apartment.

   Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the house was delayed again and again. By the time it was completed, my son had already taken root in the frontier.

  Now they live in a big empty house, and the old couple can do enough cleaning every day.

  When Song Hongmei knocked on the door, Seventh Cousin was watering the balcony—

  No way, this community is quite new, but the house type is still the same as before. The balcony is not too big. In order to make full use of it, Seventh Cousin built a layer of railings, then the lower layer of plastic boxes, and the upper layer of plastic water pipes were hollowed out, and shallots, garlic sprouts, lettuce, cabbage... were all planted inside.

  Spring and autumn are fine, but not much can be lived in winter.

  But in summer, the closed balcony is not well ventilated, and red spiders can grow on every tomato plant, but they don't like to spray the things that are imported.

  When summer comes, Seventh Cousin murmurs when he buys vegetables.

  The worst thing is that the vegetables they grow on their own balcony are not as good as those sold by other vegetable vendors due to various reasons such as lighting and ventilation!

  After so many years of tossing and tossing, Seventh Cousin himself is disheartened.

   It's just that the habit of growing vegetables can't be lost for a while, so the balcony is still densely covered with a layer of green leaves.

  Grandma Seven went to open the door: "Hey, Hongmei, why are you here at night?"

  Song Hongmei smiled, and then said loudly: "Cousin, I brought you a pagoda tree flower, you smell it, it's absolutely delicious!"

   Does Seventh Cousin not know her yet?

   At this moment, he snorted coldly: "Hongmei, this was picked up by going back to my hometown, but if you spend an extra dollar, you will not be willing to bring it to me."

   This is what I said.

  Song Hongmei laughed dryly: "Cousin, how can you think of me like that? I'm not that kind of person."

"You are."

  Seventh Cousin remembered it in his heart: "When you came back to think about my house last time, the dishes you brought looked fresh, but I knew at a glance that they must have bargained with others to buy them again. It's just that they were cleaned carefully."

   This is why he disagrees with Song Hongmei's proposal to provide them with pensions.

   It's such a life, I really can't live together!

   This guy is stingy!

  He also knew about Song Youde's family, and he didn't know how to raise this girl.

Therefore, he didn't look at the locust flower, and walked to sit on the rocking chair with his hands behind his back: "If you still talk about what happened last time, then I'll tell you—no way, when will you be willing to see me with abalone's wing belly?" Alright, let's talk slowly."

  Abalone wing belly? !

  Auntie would never even think about this ingredient! Just listening to it makes my heart hurt.

   Now hurriedly said: "Cousin, I am not here for myself, I am for my niece."

   Seventh Cousin became interested: "Which niece?"

  Aunt quickly explained: "Just my brother's girl, Tan Tan, Song Tan—do you remember?"

   "Oh, the girl has a nose and eyes, she is also filial, and her character is absolutely passable!"

   "That can't be done." Seventh cousin flatly refused: "I don't want a girl's family to support me in the old age."

   "Why?" The aunt was not happy: "Aren't you patriarchal?"

  Seventh Cousin was not angry either: "What do you mean I am patriarchal? You just go and see, in all the towns and villages, including our urban area, are there any girls who take care of the elderly?"

   "I don't know your niece's character, but with your guarantee, she can probably be trusted. The problem is that if she gets married and starts a family, and her husband's family doesn't like it, how can she divorce for me?"

   Seventh Cousin is old and has a lot of experience. He has seen a lot of women in this world.

  A lot of girls don’t care how good they are before marriage. After they get married, it’s like having their bones pumped. What the husband’s family says is what.

   There are some strong ones, but when married, it is inevitable that they will be wronged. Why should he join in?

   Because of this, he wanted to save trouble, but he refused at the beginning.

   "Besides, if I were looking for your niece, in case she lost an arm and a leg, would she be able to carry me on her back, or could she ask her man to serve me?"

   Those who focus on building a house will definitely be happy, but it is not clear what kind of care will be taken.

  When people are old, there are many ways to toss them.

  Seventh Cousin shook his head: "I can't take this risk."

  He is telling the truth.

   In the past, my aunt also had this muttering in her heart, but the problem is that she can see her niece's ability when she returns home.

   Let’s talk about digging bamboo shoots. There must be a hundred catties in a basket, right? Her good niece looks beautiful and fair, carrying one in each hand, walking like flying!

   Isn't this stronger than a man?

   Not to mention that Seventh Cousin fell, even if he was paralyzed, she could send someone to the hospital with a pinch in his armpit!

   But it’s hard to say this, it’s ugly.

  Auntie swore to the sky: "Don't worry, if she doesn't have that strength, no matter what, I won't come here specially!"

   "As for what will happen after getting married... Cousin, let me tell you the truth, not only for this house, but mainly for you. Let me tell you about her family first—"

   She is so talkative, there are few enemies in the world, that is, Seventh Cousin is calm in his heart, so he listened to her steadily, and then pondered for a while:

   "You mean, his family takes care of me, and I go to his house to be a chef, and I have to take her stupid brother with me when I turn back?"

   "Cousin, look at what you said. My nephew is smart, obedient and obedient. When you see him, he will surely feel distressed!"

  Auntie spoke confidently and confidently.

   Ouch, my seventh cousin has indigestion because of the painting of this big cake.

  He shook his head: "No, no, this girl is too burdensome, I don't like it."

  Auntie pushed the locust flower in front of him:

"I don't like it. Let's take a look at the quality of the vegetables grown by my niece. The milk vetch in their field this year has sold for 21 catties. Have you ever seen such quality vegetables in the vegetable market? "

   "Cousin, let me tell the truth, you have this house, let's talk about it in the future, some people will come to show their filial piety."

"But it's useless to look at the individual alone. You have to look at the circle when buying pigs. You know my brother's character, and you also know what my father and the others are like in their hometown. Our old Song family is not alone. There are many relatives. Being bullied and hardened."

   "I dare to say something here today, and I will definitely let you spend your old age in peace."

   "Besides, isn't this a discussion about asking you to go home as a chef? That is also paid, and it is not for you to do free work."

   "Didn't you shout to the sky that you are bored here, and you are worried about the inconvenience of having a headache when you go back to your hometown?"

   "Isn't this just right? I have a job, and my niece also has a car. If it works, I'll bring the child to you tomorrow to see, and think about the chef's job first!"

   "To be honest, my niece can earn so much money, whether she is compatible with your house is another matter."

  Of course, don't look at what the aunt said so arrogantly, in fact, according to her thinking: such a big house costs one hundred thousand, why can't it match!

  But isn’t the Seventh Cousin disagreeing?

   Gotta put some gold on your face.
