Song Tan Jishi

Grandma Tang followed Qiaoqiao all morning from the long-tailed pheasants in the back mountain to the lambs in the pasture by the river. Finally, she sighed when the withered yellow reeds swayed in the wind:

 “This down jacket is better than a coat!”

Qiaoqiao said with envy: "Grandma Tang, your hat looks so good!"

The pink down jacket is not only long to the calf, but also has two cute cat ears on the hat - after all, it is a special price jacket packed on clearance, so you don’t have to choose!

Grandma Tang stood by the river with her whole body covered up except for her face, feeling the cold wind blowing from the river. She put her sleeves in her pockets and said, "Indeed."

The wind suddenly increased. The old lady and the young man all wrapped up their clothes and hurriedly got into the warm house.

This is the usual dormitory of Zhang Wang's family and Wu Lei. Each person has a small single living room with a hot stove, and the pipes are even connected to the place where the cattle and sheep stay.

However, Zhang Wang's family has been busy cleaning up kudzu recently, and he only comes here to sleep at night - he is the only one in the house who is quiet, so he might as well be here.

And Wu Lei...he didn't feel lonely. After all, the cows were fine, but the sheep were really lively.

 He just felt too busy.

 Get up early in the morning to add firewood to the stove, and then prepare fodder to feed the cattle and sheep—

Now there is a group of ducks, and they are quacking and quacking together with the big white goose girl. If you sleep for half an hour without opening the door, it will be really noisy.

Then Zhang Wang’s family stayed here and he went back to Lao Song’s house to have breakfast.

The next step is to shovel cow dung, sheep dung and duck dung. All the shoveled dung is collected into the fermentation tank.

 When everything is almost done, the hay prepared in advance must be crushed and carefully arranged and put aside. Now the sun is rising and the temperature is rising. It is also time to let the cattle and sheep go out for a walk.

 It's time for him to take a break and alternate lunch with Zhang Wang's family.

 In the afternoon, we have to shovel manure all over the pasture - why are the sky so clear, the fields so vast, and the grass blown by the wind so low that we can only see cattle and sheep? It’s obviously cow and sheep dung!

If these feces are left alone, they don’t smell much in winter, but when the river wind blows, thousands of them will be mixed together, and the whole person will be smelled.

The sun has almost set after all this is done, and it’s time to cool down quickly. With the help of several dogs, the cattle and sheep entered the pen one after another, and then replenished the fodder...

  Repeating it day after day, I also had to learn various little knowledge about caring for cattle and sheep, including but not limited to various major and minor diseases... It was quite boring.

Song Tan walked over a few times and saw Wu Lei in such a state, and his heart really skipped a beat - he was already stupid enough, but what would he do if he let the cows become stupid again?

 Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the other party to pick up the phone and open timi skillfully...

 She breathed a sigh of relief.

 Game, the light of humanity!

She then called her uncle and aunt: "Auntie, have you thought about it? If so, come over during this slack period."

Grandma had made an idea early on for the couple to come over and learn how to raise cattle and sheep. Raising them at home would also be a source of income, but they were not as decisive as grandma and grandpa in doing things!

The uncle was quite thoughtful: "Tantan, I have discussed with your aunt that it is not appropriate for us to learn this - your family has raised cattle and sheep and sold them, so what is the use of us trying to compete with you for business?"

Song Tan was amused: "Uncle, why are you so stubborn? When I was a kid, every household raised chickens, and I didn't see your family not raising chickens."

The uncle groaned: "There are very few chickens for sale, and we all eat them at home. You have so many cows, it is not easy to sell them, and you have to worry about our family. I am an elder... Your brother Wu Lei is not here Is it there? Just let him work hard and study hard."     Well, this is when my grandpa went back and said that he could help introduce sales channels, which made my uncle blush.

Song Tan thought, Uncle, why are you worried about this? Can you believe there is a single-digit difference in the selling price of our cattle?

 possible.

Song Tan didn't say much: "Uncle, just tell me whether you're coming or not? My brother Wu Lei is now serving these cattle and sheep all by himself, without anyone to talk to. I'm afraid that if I keep doing this, I won't learn my skills. Come on, others will be stupid first."

Poor parents in the world! When I think about my son being so old, he has not yet married a wife, and the family has not saved enough for a daughter to go to college...

The uncle finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Then I, then I'll go!"

Song Tan laughed and said, "Okay, there are several dormitories here. You and your aunt have packed up and brought a few changes of clothes, so you can help me look after them."

On the other hand, he also pretended to complain: "I asked you to come to help, but you refused. Uncle Zhang here has something to do and has gone home to work. The pasture is not busy at all. It is all up to Brother Wu Lei to persist..."

 The uncle felt even more guilty: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

This is the thinking of caring elders - it is okay to help you, but not to take advantage of you. If it weren't for this, Song Tan wouldn't have bothered to care about Wu Lei's stupid behavior before!

However, it was Tian Tian who moved faster than his uncle and aunt.

Qiaoqiao and Grandma Tang had just arrived home to warm up by the fire, when there was a roar of motorcycles at the door.

Ulan came out to take a look and was shocked: "You silly girl, you are riding a motorcycle on such a cold day and you are not afraid of catching the cold!"

Tian Tian took off his helmet and breathed out a puff of white air: "It's okay, Auntie, I ride slowly, and I have knee pads on my legs."

As he spoke, he pulled off his gloves and untied the cotton knee pads on his legs.

But looking at her movements, her whole body was stiff and slow. It was obvious that she was freezing on the road.

Ulan frowned and took her into the house, while saying: "I heard that you have saved some money now. If you ride a motorcycle like this every day, take your old motorcycle to the town to pay for it." With the money, let’s exchange it for a pedal!”

You can install a windshield on the pedal, and the seat is slightly lower, which is much more stable than this old motorcycle.

Ulan is quite experienced when it comes to things in the town: "If you don't have the money for a while, it doesn't matter. Let your uncle tell me. I can ride a motorcycle over there, and I can give you money after the new year."

While they were talking, the two of them entered the room, and the warm air hit their faces, making Tian Tian shiver for a moment, and then he relaxed deeply.

She first answered Wulan's words with a smile: "Aunt, no, I came here just to discuss something with Song Tan - Song Tan, I come to the shed to study, can you arrange a dormitory for me on the mountain? Sun Ziqiang said it's for fishing. Can I pay 3,000 yuan for a month’s accommodation and food included?”

 She was a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed:

 “I resigned yesterday afternoon and wanted to come to study early.”

 Song Tan:…

 There is nothing to say, just this execution and efficiency are so enviable that I want to cry!
