Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1445. Yang Zhengxin’s Gift [Two in One]

Huo Xueying's shocking speech seemed to open a chapter of drunkenness tonight.

Of course, she herself didn't think she was drunk.

She just thought that the wine was actually quite delicious, smooth and refreshing, not too irritating, and after drinking it, she wouldn't get drunk, but her cheeks would feel warm and she would feel a little dizzy...

But she felt it was useless.

Because Zheng Qu quickly helped her sit on the sofa beside her: "Xueying, why don't you take a nap first."

Even with this little alcohol tolerance, she still boasted that she must try it tonight. When she tore it off Song Tan's body just now, she pulled it very tightly, which made him sweat profusely.

However, Huo Xueying had no intention of sleeping. She just opened her big watery eyes, as if she was particularly clear-headed: "Zheng Qu, I'm not sleepy now. You drink it, and I'll call a designated driver after you finish it."

Zheng Qu: ???
No? Are you drunk or not? If you are drunk, I will pretend that I didn't hear the nonsense you just said. If you are not drunk, what do you mean by what you just said?
He briefly reflected on himself: As a boyfriend, he wasn't that bad, was he? Was there something wrong?

The classmates all had slightly red cheeks, and they pointed at him sitting on the sofa and laughed: "Class monitor, you are drunk too!"

"Nonsense!" Zheng Qu stood up immediately: "I only drank a small cup, how could I be drunk?"

Hearing these words, even though Song Tan had not had much contact with him, she could now tell that these were not words that her, the versatile squad leader, would say.

This wine that Boss Chang has remixed is quite something!

Instead, Lu Chuan tilted his head and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. Two ounces of wine won't make them drunk. At most, they will just keep feeling tipsy and a little happy."

"If your metabolism is good, you'll be awake in less than half an hour."

"It's only an hour or two."

Not to mention, Huo Xueying, who was sitting on the sofa, had even taken out her phone and was happily browsing it. The female classmates who were also at the dinner table also had red cheeks and smiling faces, but no one was really drunk.

Song Tan was silent for a moment, and could only sigh again: "Boss Chang really lives up to the good things!"

……

They were happily having a class reunion here, and at home, Yang Zhengxin was also feeling happy and not wanting to leave. At this moment, he was playing games with Qiao Qiao late at night, and in the middle of the night he called his mother back:

"Mom, why didn't you answer my video call yesterday?"

The mother said, "Are you always worrying about the same old things every day? It's either eating and drinking or not having enough money... I'm in France! Your cousin said she was admitted to a university here, so I brought her to see her when I go abroad."

"Oh." Yang Zhengxin didn't mind her mother's complaints at all, and asked curiously, "What university? Is the environment good? Is there a castle?"

Speaking of this, mothers' eyes go dark.

"I told you not to send your children to study abroad. Look what they are going through! This crappy university is located in the countryside, deep in the mountains and forests. We came here to take a look and there was a power outage - it was pitch black, not even as bright as our farmland at night!"

"The internet isn't good, and you have to live in a far suburb. Electric bikes aren't popular here. It's said that a Chinese student bought one overseas, and the battery was stolen as soon as he started riding. My son, don't follow their lead and go abroad, where there are dirt roads and mud. You can only ride a bicycle, and it has to be a second-hand one!"

"If this happened in our place, poverty alleviation cadres could be assigned from top to bottom!"

"This university is a legitimate university. How come it can't boost the local economy?"

Yang Zhengxin was stunned by her mother's complaints. Qiao Qiao, who was cooking in the game, also stopped and listened attentively, feeling a little confused:
"In Tom and Jerry, every family lives in the same building as ours."

"That's not the same building!" The mother heard someone talking, and didn't care whether it was her son who said it. She quickly added: "There is only one family far away, and every household has guns. I found an apartment for your cousin, it looks more crowded... The Chinese students inside said that this place was almost robbed at night half a year ago!"

It’s terrible! It’s really terrible!
As Yang Zhengxin's family is engaged in agricultural machinery, they have been abroad a lot, but most of the time they were doing exports to India and farm countries. His mother's business was booming before, so she didn't like to go to Paris to buy bags and watch fashion shows.

At first, she only heard Yang Zhengxin's father say that when they went to India, they couldn't touch a drop of water, couldn't take a shower, and could only drink mineral water brought from China. She thought this man was being pretentious when he went abroad - he had to wear an N95 mask when he left the airport...

How could a big city with an airport stink so badly?

She felt it this time.

It stinks.

This is not India!

Anyway, now the mother is lying on the big bed in the hotel with a facial mask on, and then she remembered her son whom she had never seen yet, and she quickly complained about him.

In fact, Yang Zhengxin is not completely ignorant. He has participated in competitions abroad with a group, but he was under the close care of his teacher at that time. He never expected that he had such knowledge.

He trusted his mother so much that he promised, "Don't worry, Mom. I won't go abroad. By the way, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

As the saying goes, if you are not from the same family, you will not marry. Yang Zhengxin's talkativeness was completely inherited from his parents. Without waiting for his mother to answer, he immediately started to show off proudly.

"Do you know what I ate last night? Lotus stems! Mom, it's not popular in our place. Qiao Qiao and I went to the lotus pond yesterday afternoon and caught several loaches. But Qiao Qiao said they were too small and needed to be raised, so we didn't eat them. The lotus stems were white and slippery. Qiao Qiao's seventh cousin fried them with pickled peppers last night. They were delicious, mom! So delicious!"

He leaned in close to the camera and said, "Look, I ate a whole plate by myself. They all let me eat. It was so delicious that I couldn't help myself. My mouth was covered with foam!"

The old mother who only had a sandwich to eat at night: ...

"It's fried with pickled peppers..." She murmured, "You eat a whole plate of it, it must be delicious!"

Isn't it delicious? Otherwise, how could Yang Zhengxin have blisters on his mouth?

You should know that the quality of the peppers in Song Tan's house is first-class. Although spicy, it is not irritating. The reason why he was like this was that he was young and had a strong firepower, and secondly, he really ate too much.

He ate the pickled peppers on the plate while sizzling and gulping down water.

If he hadn't been served stewed beef at noon the day before, I would have really thought that he was being wronged!
In short, it was so exciting and spicy that Yang Zhengxin's mouth was watering just talking about it now. The mother on the other side of the screen was no less excited.

“It really tastes so good…” She was instantly excited: It doesn’t matter where I stay.

She remembered the message her son sent to him yesterday when he booked the room, saying that the room had been booked by a film crew and would not be available until next month, so she had to hold back again.

Then he asked, "What did you eat today? Your bubble is not very obvious anymore."

Yang Zhengxin:......

"Bitter melon fried eggs, pumpkin soup, stir-fried lettuce... Mom, there's a whole table of food, but I can only eat half of it. I'm so greedy!"

But this lament was only for a moment, and soon he started to dance and gesture again: "Mom, do you know the bitter melon fried eggs? The bitter melons are the first batch planted in early spring. Now there are only two of them. I picked them all and fried them for me to eat. The eggs are tender, smooth and fragrant, and the bitter melons have been blanched in water in advance, so there is only a little bitterness. So when they are fried together, it is fragrant and moist..."

It just doesn’t go well with rice.

"We rarely made pumpkin whiskers in the past. On the hill where Qiaoqiao lives, pumpkins are planted wherever there is space. They say that if people don't eat them, they can be fed to pigs. Mom! Qiaoqiao knows how to make pumpkin jerky. Let's pack all the pumpkins. It's a pity to feed them to pigs because pumpkin whiskers are so delicious when made into soup. It's so delicious that it's eyebrow-dropping!"

"And lettuce. Lettuce has a weird smell and I never like it. Who would have thought that today my seventh cousin would just shred it and stir-fry it casually... Qiao Qiao had lettuce leaves fried with minced meat! He gave me some, it was so delicious!"

Qiao Qiao explained earnestly, "Yang Zhengxin, we have Boss Chang and Boss Zhao in our family, we can't sell all the pumpkins to you."

At this moment, Yang Ma, who was so hungry that she was about to take out the hotel phone to order food, was stunned, and then looked at Qiao Qiao who was in the camera:
"My dear, how come you look better than in the live broadcast!"

"How fitting it is to be friends with our lamb!"

"Do you like the gift Yang Zhengxin brought? I'll send you something else when auntie returns home."

Her son was greedy and had a sore throat, so she specially prepared a few dishes to relieve the heat. This was a thoughtful and considerate gesture. Moreover, Yang Zhengxin had been bothering him for so long, so it was only right for her to prepare some more food.

What should we prepare?

There seems to be nothing else at home except farm machinery.

The mother and son hung up the phone, but Qiao Qiao sighed again: "Auntie is so pitiful, she has a hard time out there. Is sister also having a hard time like this?"

Yang Zhengxin was speechless: "What's wrong with that! My sister is stronger than you, and her boyfriend is rich and considerate. It would be so cool for the two of us to go out on a date, okay? It would feel like skipping classes when we were in school, it would definitely be exciting and fun."

Qiao Qiao was also surprised: "Yang Zhengxin! You actually skipped class!"

"I didn't!" Yang Zhengxin retracted his face full of longing: "I just saw others escape!"

If it wasn't exciting and fun, why would they run away? Unlike me, even if I wanted to go out in the middle of class, I could just find an excuse to go to the bathroom. The teacher not only agreed with a smile, but also told me not to be too picky when solving problems...

How can we escape from this? There is no atmosphere for escape at all.

The two people who had never skipped class looked at each other, obviously neither of them could experience this kind of fun.

The next moment, Yang Zhengxin's phone rang again -

"Son!" The person who called was Dad Yang.

"Your mother just called me and said it was inappropriate for you to disturb them over there, and asked me to prepare all the small farm machinery at home and put a truckload of it over there - you see, I asked you to bring an excavator, but you refused to do it."

Yang Zhengxin was speechless: "Dad, please be realistic. Who would bring an excavator when going out to visit someone? Your excavator is so big, there are so few occasions where it can be used here."

An excavator is only needed once or twice a year. If it is really brought here, the time spent on maintenance is not enough.

Father Yang didn't feel embarrassed at all: "I don't know the topography, but you've been living here for a few days now, so you should know a little bit, right? I'll send you our product brochure later, tick the ones you think you can use, and I'll arrange a car to deliver them tomorrow."

This conversation was too niche for Qiao Qiao. In his consumption concept, he had never heard of giving an excavator as a gift. So he continued playing the game calmly until Yang Zhengxin opened the product catalog and came over:
"Qiao Qiao, let's choose what's suitable for our land?"

The product brochure was detailed and realistic, with descriptions of its functions and what kind of terrain it was suitable for, as well as simple videos and pictures. Qiao Qiao didn't realize that this was a real machine at all. Instead, he felt that it was like the building block model game that Yang Zhengxin had brought him, or the game of building houses and farms that they were playing.

"What game is it?" He asked with great interest. Yang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "That... you know the farm simulation game, right? We are simulating your farm, and now we need to choose machines to further reduce the workload of planting."

So Qiao Qiao also became interested: "I can do this! I've done it before!"

He pointed to a small excavator in the [Small Terrain Flexible Steering Zone] and was very excited:
"Here! Ten of them are enough!"

They plant a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden on the mountain. These vegetables are seasonal. Once they get old, they have to be pulled out, the soil is turned over again, insects and sterilization are killed, and then other vegetables are planted.

In the past, uncles and aunts in the village helped with this work, but my sister said that sooner or later they would have to start growing vegetables on their own.

Qiao Qiao didn’t quite understand their long-term plans, she only knew that if they continued like this, would no one be willing to do the tiring farm work?

Digging the ground is really tiring!
"And there's this rice and wheat harvester - this one is great! We want three of this too!" This year, my family planted a lot of glutinous rice, millet, wheat, rice, etc. It's really too hard to use a sickle and bend over manually. I envy the large and flat fields like those on TV, where a machine can just drive through them once and complete the work.

He was very proud and explained to Yang Zhengxin at this moment: "Although I bought a lot of these two machines, the work they replaced is also the most tiring."

"It's hard to find people for such tiring jobs these days - I've picked them out! Now it's your turn!"

Yang Zhengxin smiled proudly: "Three machines are not enough. This kind of small agricultural machine is designed to facilitate farmers to use as many as possible. You only need to replace different accessories to achieve the harvesting of multiple categories. You can use this for your soybeans, mung beans, red beans, and sesame seeds!"

He waved his hand and said, "Add two more!"

After all, these crops do not mature at the same time, so five small machines with staggered timings are enough for daily use.

Here we come! Good night!
My sisters warmly invited me to have an annual gathering, but I tearfully declined because I really couldn't write the manuscripts I had saved...
