Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 150 Song Chaoyang enters the city to plan, and the third uncle charges for love
"Cough cough cough..." Cao Wei coughed violently.

Song Chaoyang didn't expect that the old lady would say such a thing.

He quickly explained:

"Grandma, we are friends."

"It's not the kind of relationship you think."

Seeing Song Chaoyang's calm expression, the old lady came back to her senses and said with a smile:

"Oh oh oh... it's my old lady who messed up the rules."

After saying that, she paused and added:
"But actually, you two seem to be quite compatible. If you don't have a partner, you can try it out together."

"Cough...cough..." Cao Wei had just calmed down, but was made to cough violently again by her words.

Song Chaoyang was speechless. It seemed that all the elderly liked to play this trick.

"I was thinking before, why are so many people waiting for you to cook?"

Even the presentation should look better, which is totally unreasonable.

This Xu Song is one year older than Song Chaoyang. He works as a bricklayer with his third uncle, and he has eaten a lot of food hosted by other people's homes.

The same dish made by Song Chaoyang is more delicious.

"I...I'll try it." Cao Wei blushed, picked up the piece of pork ribs, and started to try.

Cao Wei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. The violent cough just now made her face flushed. Seeing that the old lady finally let her go, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Try it to see if it suits your taste. This is the first time I've made the pork ribs pot in mushroom soup." Song Chaoyang's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he didn't take what had just happened to his heart at all.

"Hmm...hmm..." The old lady nodded again and again, using chopsticks to taste the dishes on the table one by one.

He nodded while eating, completely speechless.

He doesn't feel that his old cousin can write a new house with a pen, since he doesn't live by himself anyway.

They also had some good food while working as workers outside.

However, after the uncle swallowed the twice-cooked pork in his mouth, he gave Song Chaoyang a thumbs up:

How come you do so well?
My uncle and aunt had eaten the food cooked by Song Chaoyang once, but they had already made mental preparations.

He was fine with being teased like this.

This time Song Chaoyang did it, and he was convinced.

good to eat!

"Okay, don't worry about our affairs."

It’s really delicious!
Xu Song felt that every dish was so delicious.

The couple's initial idea was similar to that of their nephew Xu Song. If they used Song Chaoyang's skills to open a restaurant, they would definitely make a lot of money.

The eldest aunt and Song Lan and Song Zhu also nodded.

However, Song Chaoyang's dishes were indeed much more delicious than other dishes they remembered.

I actually took it into my mouth.

He quietly glanced at Song Chaoyang beside him and found that his expression was as usual, as if he didn't feel anything at all.

They even served Cao Wei some food, which made everyone else look at them.

It turned out that everyone was immersed in eating, and even the voices at other tables were muted.

"Use your chopsticks, move your chopsticks!"

"I have never eaten anything more delicious than yours."

But if I can make such a large table of delicious food, that would be awesome.

I couldn’t help but complain in my heart:
This guy is thicker-skinned than he thought...

He greeted the old lady:

I really want to know how Song Chaoyang made it.

"It's better to eat quickly."

She was already waiting for others to tease her.

As soon as he thought of this, Song Chaoyang gave Cao Wei a chopstick dish.

On the side, Xu Song, the son of his third uncle's family, with vegetables still in his mouth, couldn't help but said to Song Chaoyang:
"Well... Biao, with your skills, you can open a restaurant."

After eating the whole ribs, I found that no one said anything about her.

Deliberately teasing young people.

The old lady nodded cheerfully, and then greeted everyone:

Only then did he secretly raise his head and look at the other people on the table.

"Now I understand."

“Chaoyang’s dish is really good!”

Could this be genius?
At this moment, people at other tables began to praise Song Chaoyang one after another.

Those sitting in the main room are basically relatives of the Song family.

But among them, there are very few people who have tasted Song Chaoyang's craftsmanship.

When I ate it for the first time today, I was immediately shocked.

At first I thought I was just eating some meat to replenish oil and water, but I didn’t expect that I could eat such delicious food while replenishing oil and water. It was an unexpected surprise.

At another table, the third uncle shouted to Song Chaoyang:
"Yangwazi, did you really do this?"

Before Song Chaoyang could answer, his second uncle said:
"He did it all. We have been busy in the kitchen all morning today."

After saying that, he complained to his brother unhappily:
"You feel at ease and went to play cards."

The third uncle didn't care about the second uncle at all and turned a deaf ear to his words.

He said directly to Song Chaoyang:

"Chaoyang, your skills are really good. Next time our family is going to have a banquet, I can help you."

As a result, Song Chaoyang hasn't answered yet.

The second uncle scolded:
"Do you want a bigger butt? People who make money by writing novels want you to be a chef?"

The third uncle felt unhappy now, turned around and said to the second uncle:

"No, second brother, haven't you seen that I don't want to pay attention to you?"

"I'm talking to Chaoyang, why are you joining in the fun?"

The second uncle said with a proud face:

"Hey, I'm happy, I'm happy. You are his third uncle and I am his second uncle. Can you say what I can't?"

Seeing the two sons bickering, the old lady turned her head and said:
"Don't force me to deal with you on such a happy day!"

The two people who were still at war with each other at first seemed to have been poured cold water on them. They calmed down and picked up their chopsticks and continued eating.

Song Chaoyang looked at his second uncle and third uncle. In his memory, the two of them seemed to have never dealt with each other.

But the third uncle would like to have a better relationship with the Song family.

The second uncle didn't look down on the Song family before. As soon as my mother went back to get something, he and his wife would be sullen and angry.

Now that he saw that the Song family was prosperous and different from before, he changed his tune.

So Song Chaoyang said to his third uncle:
"Third uncle, we are all our own people. If you have a happy event at home, just ask me for help and I will definitely come."

After hearing this, the third uncle, who was a little unhappy at first, immediately smiled and said happily to Song Chaoyang:
"Okay! I just knew that Chaoyang and your third uncle were in love."

"I don't want you to lose face by saying this, but you don't have any idea?" the second uncle muttered.

The third uncle ignored him this time and simply chose to ignore him.

If they had a fight, the old lady would really dare to beat them to death.

He was very satisfied with Song Chaoyang's attitude. He pretended not to have heard his second brother's strange words.

Grandpa Song Chaoyang sat around a table with several older people. He was quite happy to hear other people praising his grandson's craftsmanship.

He hadn't been so happy since losing sight of one of his eyes.

In addition, the boss was disabled a few days ago, so he was anxious to get angry. Now he didn't expect that God was still kind to him. There was a bright future in the village...

Although my sons had a lot of troubles, fortunately, my daughter Xu Cuiping, who was least favored, got a surprise.

He still remembered that more than a month ago, his daughter came home and asked for vegetables.

The new house will be repaired after this month.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it if others told him.

While eating, he was no longer in a hurry, thinking that it was useless to be anxious anyway, so he might as well just take it easy.

As the old saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise?

there's always a solution to any problem.

For example, the boss is now disabled, but he is about to open a breeding farm again, and the province and county have given the green light.

I used to think that the boss’s life was over, but now?
Who can I talk to to explain this?

The old man picked up a piece of wild boar meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

While chewing, he raised his glass to greet others.

It felt like a big stone had been dropped in my heart.

……

At lunch, everyone was smiling.

When we left, everyone's mouth was full of oil.

Today's dish was not only rich in oil and water, but also tasted good. Everyone was full of praise for it, and everyone patted their belly and said good things about the Song family.

Most people really mean it.

After all, it is definitely a rare opportunity to have such a meal these days.

Some people also planned to stop working in the afternoon and continue playing cards at Song's house.

The Song family doesn't care about them, they just want to play here if they like. You can't just drive people away.

After the meal, a group of people started to clear the table. Song Chaoyang’s wife, Xu Cuiping, saw that there were still a lot of leftovers, so she discussed with Song Chaoyang and planned to divide all the leftovers and give them to those who helped today. people.

After all, everyone contributed.

Leftovers these days are not something that will be looked down upon in the future.

Anyone who allows guests to bring leftovers home from a banquet will definitely be praised.

It shows that the quality of your mats is high.

Big portion and good taste.

Otherwise, how could it be left?
Anyone who doesn't eat at the table with his cheeks turned away, and any leftovers are all due to investment.

In addition, the food cooked by Song Chaoyang's family today is rich in oil and water and tastes good.

All the people who helped were very happy to hear that they could take the leftovers home.

One person can at least share three or four dishes, which is enough for a family to have a full meal.

In addition, people who gave a lot of gifts, such as grandparents, uncles and aunts, Cao Wei, and Song Chaoyang specially prepared return gifts for them.

A few braised vegetables made by myself, and a red envelope containing twenty yuan.

As for other people who are not very close and don’t show much courtesy.

There is no more.

Of course, in order not to seem to favor one relative over another, Song Chaoyang still prepared braised vegetables for other relatives.

It’s just that there is no red envelope.

In addition, the first three aunts, Li Shuhui and Song Chaoyang, did not forget to give two hundred kilograms of rapeseed oil residue to feed the pigs, and secretly stuffed three red envelopes for each of them.

There isn't much money in it, only fifteen yuan each.

It’s just enough to equal a month’s work for an adult.

It’s not in vain that the third aunt secretly stuffed eggs for him.

Of course, this kind of thing happens slowly and slowly, so it is impossible to give too much at once.

Anyway, taking care of their family from now on will be regarded as repaying the favor.

Work until after 4pm.

Song Chaoyang took his wife to the back room to discuss matters at home.

After the house is repaired, the most important thing next is for the little girl to go to the county town to study.

Song Chaoyang held a tea vat, drank the brewed tea, and said to his mother:

"Registration for school starts the day after tomorrow. I plan to take the little girl to the city tomorrow."

"When the time comes, my brother-in-law and eldest sister will also go with their children, so I just want to check the door."

"In case you can't find the place when the time comes."

"After all, they will be working at the Wangjiahe Dam, so they will be very close."

"Okay." The old woman nodded, but she didn't have any objection.

It’s true that we should take the eldest couple to check out the place first, otherwise we won’t be able to find him and it will be embarrassing to ask around.

"Besides, I also plan to get some new clothes for the girl."

"It's not about buying custom-made cloth, it's about buying ready-made clothes." Song Chaoyang continued.

When I heard that I wanted to buy new clothes for the little girl, I immediately objected:
"Oh, why are you wasting that money? The girl still has clothes."

"No, we have to spend this money." Song Chaoyang shook his head.

He said to his mother:

"I've been to the city a few times, and I know firsthand what it feels like to be poorly dressed and be discriminated against."

"The school is also a small society. When the girl goes to school, to others, she is an outsider. If she is poorly dressed, she will be bullied for the three years she has been in school."

When I heard what Song Chaoyang said, she was a little unbelievable. How could a little kid have so many things?
"Is it that serious?" Xu Cuiping asked with a puzzled look.

"Yes!" Song Chaoyang nodded.

In the commune school, everyone was miserable and wore patched clothes, so no one looked down on anyone.

But when I go to school in the county, my parents ride bicycles and their children wear Doliang.

You are wearing clothes and pants that are full of pudding, and you are wearing deformed and hole-shaped cloth shoes.

Don't tell me how smart you are or how good your academic performance is. People will discriminate against you at first sight.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the same everywhere. Don't think that children are innocent and don't understand anything.

The closer you go to the city, where there are more classes, the more serious this situation becomes.

Song Chaoyang could not change this situation, he could only prevent the little girl from becoming the one who was discriminated against and bullied.

As an elder brother, he has this strength, so he has to support the girl.

Moreover, it was his idea to send him to the county town to study, and he should have considered these things.

Otherwise, the little girl will be sent in to suffer.

"Okay, I'll just listen to you." Xu Cuiping didn't understand this either. When her son said this, she stopped giving random opinions.

I don't like to give random orders like Mrs. Jia.

"In addition, I have to get some cloth for our family. When the second brother gets married, he will also have to make new clothes, right?" Song Chaoyang continued to his mother.

Xu Cuiping nodded and said:

"Well, I can sew it after I buy it."

Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, I'll just get a sewing machine back."

When I heard that Song Chaoyang wanted to buy a sewing machine, I was shocked:

"Oh, you have a lot of money? A sewing machine is expensive."

“There will be more places to spend money in the future.”

"Sewing by hand is just a bit slow. There's no need to get a sewing machine. I can't use that thing either."

Song Chaoyang smiled and said:
"It's okay. You can learn it slowly. It's not a high-end product. Now the production has increased. Domestic sewing machines no longer require a receipt last year. I bought it and learned it."

"When you learn how to do it, I won't have to go to the city to buy it."

"Then... that's okay." Xu Cuiping felt that she couldn't defeat the third child now, so she had no choice but to agree.

After Song Chaoyang finished speaking, he paused and continued:
"Besides, grandpa's eye seems to have cataracts. I'm going to help find out if the surgery can be done at the county hospital. If not, I'll go to the provincial capital for surgery."

This obviously involved my blind spot in knowledge, but he was still a little worried and asked:

"Surgery? Is that an operation on the eyes?"

"Yes, let's do the surgery." Song Chaoyang nodded.

I couldn’t help but ask:
"The eyes are just bags of water. It's not like you've never seen pig eyes before. How can you use a knife to heal them?"

Song Chaoyang explained to his mother:
"Cataract surgery has been around for 20 years, but we haven't heard of it in rural areas. Many elderly people in cities have also had this surgery when they got sick."

Xu Cuiping grinned, feeling a little creepy thinking:
"It sounds scary to me. I'm afraid your grandpa wouldn't dare to do it."

Song Chaoyang said next time:
"It's okay. I'll find grandma then. She will definitely be able to convince grandpa."

When Xu Cuiping heard this, she had no choice but to nod her head, and then she would go say hello to the old man and the old lady later.

After saying this, Song Chaoyang turned to look at his eldest sister Song Xue and said to her:
"Sister, I heard that Xiaorong is always in poor health. When we go to the city this time, you can take her with you and go to the hospital with me to check her health."

"If any problem is detected early, it can be treated early."

"If it is malnutrition, then we will supplement it properly."

After speaking, he also emphasized:
"Don't worry about money, I'll take care of it as your uncle."

After hearing this, the eldest sister was moved and said:

"Chaoyang, I... I really don't know what to say... I want to thank you on behalf of the girl."

Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said to the eldest sister:
"Sister, we are all one family. If we don't talk about the two families, you are also helping me with the project. If Xiao Rong'er is not in good health, you will not feel at ease."

"When I help your family, I also help myself."

"Hmm..." The eldest sister nodded excitedly.

After finishing the matter here, Song Chaoyang walked out of the house. At this moment, he heard the third uncle's happy shout from the roof:
"Hahaha... give me money, give me money!"

Then came the second uncle’s dissatisfied complaints:
"Isn't it just that I won two cents? You're as happy as if you've eaten bee poop."

"I'll beat you to death!"

Then the third uncle Song Shoubao said in a disgraceful manner:
"Hehe, I'm not coming! I'll leave it as soon as possible."

"Bye-Bye!"

Then he walked downstairs with a swaying step. When he got downstairs, he saw Song Chaoyang at the top of the stairs.

The third uncle held a cigarette in his mouth and asked Song Chaoyang:
"I heard from your father that you are going to the city tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Song Chaoyang nodded.

"Take me with you?" Song Shoubao said with a smile.

Song Chaoyang rolled his eyes:

"You'd better hide at home for a few days."

"Do you feel comfortable going back in such a hurry and being beaten up?"

"No, the main reason is that I can't afford to wait!" The third uncle changed from a playful smile to a frown, and he said:

"I have to go back and get married quickly."

"I'll put on a disguise, as long as they don't recognize me."

"Are you really not afraid?" Song Chaoyang was speechless. Unexpectedly, he was still an iron-headed boy.

The third uncle thought for a while and said seriously:
"It's worth taking some risks to have a son!"
