   Chapter 546 546. I can’t do without me at home

"Yes!"

   That must be what you want.

  Aunt Wang looked forward to it: "Didn't your family plant the fungus in spring, and didn't you distribute two sticks to the families of the elderly in the village?"

   "The old lady Chen in Houwan, the rice cooker at home broke down that day and your uncle went to check it out. Before leaving, she made a bowl... Oh! It's really good! It's much better than the cold fungus we went to eat at the banquet."

  Song Tan thought: Of course, for these chestnut trees to make the fungus grow better, she used the little spiritual energy in the beginning.

  Even if the strains were ordered and these sticks were distributed to each family to raise them by themselves, they were naturally raised, and the quality was originally slightly better than the ones that were purchased centrally by restaurants. What's more, there is the premise of aura!

   Taste does not say how much better it is, but it is normal for people to taste the difference.

  After saying these polite words, Aunt Wang's expression became much more affectionate:

   "At that time, I thought, you serious college students really have a knack for farming, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do such a big job, would you?"

   "Later, when you started growing vegetables, didn't someone in the village ask you to exchange some vegetable seedlings? My family wanted to go too, but I planted them early at that time, so I didn't have the nerve to ask..."

   "That time I went to the nearby field to see what other people's houses changed. Sure enough, the vegetable seedlings given by your family grew better!"

"Tan Tan, if your mother asks this question, then Auntie will have the cheek to answer, save more—I see that your family didn't grow bitter melon this year, but the bitter melon in my field is very good this year, so I'll pick some for you tonight. "

  Song Tan: …

  Blanched bitter gourd is delicious when the bitterness fades away, but the problem is that the family members have a lot of mouths...

  She could only politely refuse: "No need, Aunt Wang, there's no need for some seeds, and besides, my family doesn't like bitter melon..."

   After rejecting bitter gourd, pumpkin and zucchini one after another, Song Tan returned home and heard Professor Song sighing with Ulan:

   "The climate is too hot this year, otherwise, in this season, we can actually plant some heat-resistant plants..."

  The mountain cannot be planned for a while, so it is not impossible for the excavator to drive part of it first.

you do not say!

  Speaking of this Ulan, he vomited bitterly: "Oh my God. Even if the few vegetable fields at the door were not planted in previous years, the grass on them was green and lush, and there was never a lack of water."

"It's a good year, it's been planted on the ground, and the sun is so hot that some of the water has been dried up. If it weren't for the pond next to the bamboo forest that can put some water along the ditch, the high temperature will definitely affect the harvest. .”

   That's it, the vegetables in the garden are completely dead now. Only peppers, cowpeas and eggplants can barely hold on, and the output is still much lower than that in early summer.

  Cucumbers are even more important. The young cucumbers are getting sparser day by day, but the old cucumbers that remain are thicker and golden in color.

   If this continues, the vegetable dealer Lao Zhao will not be able to supply it.

"fine."

  Professor Song calculated the time: "July is hot, just slowly make a plan for the mountain and repair it."

   It’s not that everyone slows down on purpose, it’s just that they only work for a few hours a day in this weather, and they don’t dare to do more.

   "In August, I'll ask someone to get some seeds and seedlings. Let's build a pergola first."

   In this way, it is just right to wait until autumn, when the temperature difference is large, and then plant.

   "No hurry, no hurry."

  Ulan is very free and easy now.

  Although the family made a lot of money in the first half of the year—of course it is all spent now, but they are also tense and have not let go.

  The weather is hot, and I can't do any work, so I also give myself a chance to cultivate myself.

  That's right... I feel a little bit uncomfortable when I'm free at first.

  Song Tan was listening, and couldn't help but suggest: "Mom, I'm free now anyway, why don't you and my father go on a trip too. I'll sign up for a tour for you."

   Report a leisurely journey, the temperature is suitable, more comfortable, not so rushed, and it also allows the couple to experience the customs and customs of other places.

  In the past, Ulan wouldn't even listen to topics like travel, but now, she dares to think about it.

But when she turned her head and looked at the blazing sun outside, she didn't even have the courage to lift her feet: "Forget it, it's going to be a pain to go out this day. Aren't you still waiting to build a house on the mountain? I'll inquire about the village in advance. Who has time."

  Who in the village has time? How many young adults are there in the village? Shouldn't it be handed over to the engineering team?

  Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom, it's not the time to build a house."

  But right now it’s not like there’s nothing else—

   "Otherwise, you can ask again, aren't the tea leaves on the mountain almost finished? Find two people to carry them into the car, and I will pull them to the yard. Then ask someone to pick off the old leaves and dry them in the sun."

"Look, look!" There was work to be done, and Ulan immediately regained his spirits: "I just said that I can do it without being at home? There are many things to do one by one! I count on you, you know everyone in the village How many?"

  He fumbled for the phone and went out: "It's just right, I asked them to come and settle the wages from last time."

   On the one hand, he was flattered: "I didn't expect half of my body to be buried in the ground, and I will take care of the old people in the village..."

  Song Sancheng paused his hand for picking water chestnuts, and at this moment, for some reason, he let out a long, long breath.

  Professor Song understood it while listening, and nodded solemnly at this moment: "When your family develops well, there will be more things like this to drive the township."

   "And can do more and better."

  Ulan waved his hand, and returned to his former cheerful appearance:

   "I dare not think about it. If you can help us, we won't force you if you can't. Otherwise, all the burdens will be on your body, and I don't owe them. The children are so stressed."

  While talking, the phone was connected, and the old man on the opposite side often had deafness, so she hurriedly went out to talk with a loud voice.

   "I don't quite understand..." In the room, Yan Ran asked in a low voice:

   "Teacher, isn't their family hiring someone to do the work? Why do you still say that they take care of the elderly? Does this mean that they take care of the elderly?"

  Professor Song put away the smile on his face, and said calmly: "Yan Ran, the elderly in the village do not have retirement wages, and not everyone is eligible for the minimum living allowance."

   "At their age, they can still do some work, so their children won't be around."

   "But I can't adapt to smart products, and I have already passed the age of being able to work. Even for sanitation, I don't want such older workers."

   "Even if the top can give subsidies, care for the elderly, and give condolences during the holidays, it is already the ultimate."

   "Then you say, at this time, there is a job right at home. The job is easy, and the seventies and eighties are able to do it. They are all familiar with the same age, and the salary is settled... How about such a life?"

   "This is the greatest hope for their life."

   "But..." Yan Ran was curious: "Then their family also hires people to work, you pay me to work, why do I feel that Aunt Wulan is quite proud?"

   Correction: I can't finish writing tonight, and I will make up tomorrow morning.
