Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1598. Relatives

When my aunt heard that she had to give so many things, she felt uncomfortable.

But the daughter-in-law has not yet been married into the family, so it is the time to be courteous and considerate, as well as to maintain the affection between relatives.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Tan Tan, when will your rice be ripe? I'll ask your uncle and cousin to come over to help every Friday night."

Then he quickly explained, "It's not possible on Mondays and Fridays. As you know, your cousin is in the company and his salary will be deducted if he takes leave. It's not cost-effective."

When Zhu Lingqi heard this, his eyes lit up: "I'll give these things as Dragon Boat Festival gifts. Don't worry, Mom. Minmin's mother will definitely stew fish and meat for me every day."

"When I go to work, I will pick up Minmin in the morning and have breakfast on the way. I will also eat at her place at noon, and come back after dinner..."

It’s not free! It’s not a loss!
Song Tan: ...

As long as your little family is happy.

Zhu Lingqi also had his own plan: "It just so happens that I can't go there every day, otherwise Minmin will feel that there is no space and it's not fresh. I will come back to work starting from next weekend!"

He patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Tantan, I am much more useful than Yan Pingzhong."

Zhang Yanping, who was making rice dumplings with Dr. Guo, suddenly frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you trying to put me down?"

As for his parents, today is a holiday, and many people will rush to the wholesale market to buy fruits on their way out. If they want to take a break during the holiday, they will probably have to wait until after 10 o'clock, and then drive over, and they will have to wait a long time!
Zhu Lingqi smiled innocently: "You are Tan Tan's cousin, and I am also her cousin, so we are relatives, and everyone is the same. I can't compare with my eldest uncle's cousin."

How can I be worthy of that kind of person?
Zhang Yanping couldn't help but sneer when he thought of Song Dafang's family.

But he had to say something up front: "When it gets hot, it won't be easy to work in the mountains without air conditioning."

Zhu Lingqi was very proud: "We live on the top floor and we don't often use the air conditioner."

Besides, even though he is so stingy, and doesn't attend dinner parties, give gifts, or treat everyone to drinks, he can still make many friends in the unit. Of course, it is all due to his own abilities!
He, Zhu Lingqi, is particularly good at saving money and also very good at working!

Zhang Yanping: ...He lost!
My uncle-in-law was smiling and saying nothing, but he was actually doing some calculations in his mind. He found that not only could he and his son eat and drink well every day, but he also didn't have to use a fan at home, which saved electricity, and he could also save a lot of money on buying groceries!

As for the effort and sweat...ah, this thing is free!
He is busy making money every day, and at night he has to walk 10,000 steps to get to the checkpoint to buy discounted vegetables and fruits, and drink herbal tea!

After the family of three did the math, they were all very satisfied.

Oh, it must be that Tan Tan has a lot of work to do at home, otherwise she would be embarrassed to come over to eat and drink!

……

A group of people were busy talking and laughing, and the entire messy cafeteria was tidy up in an instant.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they started to help prepare the food again - oh my! After picking vegetables to sell every day, we can finally have a good meal. We are so excited!
At this moment, my grandparents also came over with my uncle's family to the yard at the foot of the mountain.

Feeding a dozen cows is not an easy task. In addition to feeding them grass every day, there are some other things that need to be prepared.

So after careful consideration, their family decided to buy a shabby pickup truck similar to the one Song Tan's family owned this year.

Not to mention, Wu Lei graduated from university two or three years ago after four years. He has a bunch of miscellaneous certificates, but the only one he can use is this driver's license.

Now the whole family is crowded in it. Although grandpa thinks that his driving skills are not good and the car is bumpy, there is no need to trouble Song Tan to drive over to pick them up...

Although Wu Lei felt aggrieved when talking about this:

It's not that he is a bad driver, it's that he bought this car for 20,000 yuan, but it's so broken and the shock absorbers are so crappy!

It's definitely not as good as Lu Chuan's car worth hundreds of thousands. Humph, it's hard for grandpa and grandma to go from extravagant to frugal!

Now, he greeted Song Youde who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and then took down a large box from the back of the truck.

When I opened it, I saw dozens of kilograms of beef ribs, beef tail, and beef spine.

They are still fresh!
Just as I was about to pack and put the beef in the refrigerator, I heard Wulan call: "The freezer at home is full, bring it directly from the mountain. It's just in time for the holidays, let's let everyone taste the beef raised by our Leilei!"

The reason why their family came late was because they had to clean up the beef.

Logically speaking, these free-range cattle cannot be slaughtered as quickly as those raised in pens, and they have not yet grown to the best age for sale, so it is not cost-effective to sell them.

But, it’s Zhang Chen’s fault for offering such a high price!

He really didn't do his silly brother any harm:

When he first slaughtered a cow, he came to taste it and gave him a high-quality price without saying anything. Then he couldn't wait and raised the price to let him sell it.

Now that it is the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Chen has arranged in advance to slaughter two cows early in the morning and have them shipped over directly in cold conditions.

The cost of live transport is expensive!

Every time they slaughtered a cow, they would invite the two brothers Chen Xi and Chen Chi. They would bring a bag of fermented glutinous rice wine and knock the cow down first, and then they would complete the job as they were familiar with the process.

Song Youde was puzzled when he heard about this: "They are selling the cattle before they grow up, and they are paying a high price? What are they trying to do?"

Wu Lei didn't understand it before, but his good brother explained it to him in detail, saying that now there are more and more supermarkets of all sizes, and there are many activities, and what they want is membership.

Such good beef is available every time a membership day is opened, and is only available to members... Since the first cow was sold, the number of people applying for membership cards has increased by 30% per quarter!

Or is it because there is so little beef and we can’t buy it?

With all these combined efforts, the price of these cows is not just the meat.

In short, business is very complicated. Wu Lei is bolder now: "I just want to discuss with Tan Tan about raising 20 more cows this year. By the way, I will rent the wasteland not far from my home and tidy it up, and grow more forage grass like them..."

Such wasteland is not worth renting, and grass is easy to grow there. The tiller can directly sow seeds and bury the roots after just one pass.

When the time comes, he can put herds of cattle in there and he won’t have to drive the cattle long distances every day, let alone worry about retail. He can just supply two or three heads every month to his good brother.

When the big boxes of beef were delivered to the mountain, the employees cheered again!
Master Jiang took the meat back and cleaned it up as soon as possible.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. We will just have a few big bowls of food for lunch and then have a good meal in the evening!

Song Tan listened to Wu Lei's plan, and then looked at him who was now tanned and strong, and couldn't help but secretly complain to Lu Chuan:

"Fools are blessed with good fortune."

Yang Zhengxin suddenly squeezed through the crowd, holding up her phone and saying, "Sister! Sister!"

"Look at this!"

It’s so hot!

Don’t worry, what Xiao Yang showed me is a good thing!
