Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 390 - Chapter 390 390. Classmates are here _1

Chapter 390: 390. Classmates are here! _1 Chapter 390: 390. Classmates are here! _1 Hoping and waiting, the old classmates finally arrived.

They had figured out the route last night, those without cars got a lift, while those with cars drove directly here.

As the sun rose, they followed the navigation and came in droves; once on the road, many were made dizzy by the twists and turns of the mountainous path.

Truth be told, there were regrets along the way, but there’s that old saying–“We’re already here.” It’s not like we can turn back halfway, right?

So, following the navigation, they eventually arrived at the entrance to Song Tan’s home.

As soon as they got out of their cars, everyone’s eyes bulged–

“Damn!”

“Song Tan, you’ve really kept this hidden, haven’t you!”

Seeing the big villa, nobody else owned one! Even though it’s cheaper to build in the countryside than to buy a commercial house, wouldn’t the whole set still come to a seven-figure sum?

And there’s Wa Qianqian talking about making a donation?

Who’s donating to whom?

Everyone gave Wa Qianqian a disgruntled look, and she panicked for a moment–wasn’t Song Tan’s family remembered to be very poor when they were in school?

Besides, if they already have a villa, why does she still go to sell vegetables?

Do all wealthy families have this relentless self-improvement spirit?

The cars naturally parked in the open space in front of the door, and Song Tan thought for a second before directing everyone to leave half the space free, “Come on, park the cars somewhere else, we’ll need a bit of space for drying the rice later.”

“Sure, sure.”

Seeing the big villa, everyone who had harbored complaints now felt that the trip had been worthwhile. Naturally, they did as asked.

Then, eager to see what was inside, they asked, “Can we take a tour?”

“Of course,” Song Tan said with a smile. “You guys have the clout. We haven’t planned on moving in yet. The moment my mom heard my old classmates were coming, fearing my grandpa’s old house might be a bit cramped, she hurried us to tidy this place up.”

“But it’s going to be hot soon. How about we get the work done first, then take a tour when we come back to rest at noon?”

“Don’t be shy, feel free to sit anywhere inside or outside. We prepared all this to welcome you.”

Seeing how polite the old classmate was…

Everyone felt somewhat embarrassed.

Wu Lan checked the time inside the house; Tantan was right, it was already 8:15. There was no use counting on harvesting rice now.

She remembered her daughter’s current state of poverty, and at this moment, she too smiled in a way that was genuine and simple:

“Did you have to get up early to come here? Have you all eaten? We’ve made some food at home, why don’t we eat together?”

This question couldn’t have come at a better time.

During the holiday, who doesn’t like to sleep in? Some of them had eaten, some had woken up too early and hadn’t had the chance to eat.

Just as they were about to decline politely, Song Tan’s mother said apologetically, “We’ve only got simple dishes, don’t disdain them, they are all from our own home…”

With that, it was hard for everyone to refuse.

Song Tan didn’t stand on ceremony either: “Come on, we’ve prepared disposable tableware. If you want something, just take it yourself from the kitchen, serve yourself.”

“In the pot is locust flower porridge. Add sugar if you like. On the side, there’s pickled long beans, scallion flower rolls, green pepper pancakes, and homemade green pepper sauce. The scallions for the flower rolls are our own, the locust flowers were picked from the mountains this spring, and the pickled long beans were also preserved by us this year, just made…”

Despite being common items, just by listing the names of the dishes, who wouldn’t be tempted?

Everyone peered into that spacious kitchen and was immediately astonished by the humming air conditioner–

“You mean there’s even air conditioning in the kitchen? Such a lavish lifestyle!”

Then, they sniffed the scent of burning firewood in the air, along with the aromas of various foods, and no one knew whose stomach was the first to start rumbling.

After that, the old classmates, leading their families, made themselves at home and charged straight in:

“It smells so good! I haven’t eaten anything this authentic for so many years, I definitely need to try everything!”

“This scallion oil flower roll is too overpowering! I’m starting with a flower roll!”

“Pepper sauce pancakes… my goodness, didn’t you all smell that chili scent? This is just perfect!”

Everyone was exclaiming noisily, yet their actions were neat and organized, and it didn’t take long for the pots to be rummaged through.

Seventh Uncle, seeing how popular his cooking was, sat in the yard feeling even more proud.

And Song Tan took the opportunity to count the number of people–29 in total.

“Has everyone arrived?”

“We’re all here.”

The class president put the warm porridge aside, ignoring the old classmates snapping photos and posting on social media, took a bite of the chili pancake with an “ah-woo”, and immediately started sweating profusely from the spice.

While puffing up his cheeks, he mumbled, “Chen Xiaoling and her family couldn’t make it today because of something…”

Song Tan looked around and asked, “Class president, didn’t you say you were bringing the kids to experience life here?”

Counting them up, there were only about three or four children between three and five who could play in the fields, the rest were either being pushed in strollers or were around seven or eight years old… it seemed like they were some relatives’ kids.

You surely can’t push a stroller into the fields, right?

The class president, embarrassed, chuckled, “You see… mainly, everyone wanted to eat a farm meal, and by the way, find a place to gather and have fun… For the kids… fostering a connection with the countryside from a young age is also good.”

Song Tan: …

Looking at the crowd of middle-aged people who were clearly parents or in-laws of classmates, and then at everyone who seemed to be living a decent life, she also smiled.

Glancing at the class president, whose pancake was nearly finished, she quickly asked, “Want two more scallion oil flower rolls? They’re really fragrant!”

Cooking a large pot of white rice porridge doesn’t cost much, and the locust flowers were blanched and frozen in spring, which were now gone.

The pancake was made by Seventh Uncle himself; he cooked a huge stack of them, all frozen in the fridge, ready to be made whenever they wanted.

The pepper sauce was pure chili sauce, without any beef, and let’s not even talk about the scallion oil rolls, which only cost a few cents for the oil and used very few scallions.

All things considered, even at the market price of the ingredients at home, the breakfast for the 29 people didn’t exceed 200 yuan–the most expensive items being the chili sauce and the pickled long beans!

Song Tan was pretty satisfied with her cost calculation.

Everyone was very satisfied and even pleasantly surprised; they were so focused on eating that they didn’t even look up. Those who had already had breakfast couldn’t resist grabbing a flower roll, eating and regretting simultaneously…

Feeling secretly delighted, she then exclaimed loudly, “Right, I promised to treat everyone to a meal at noon. Are there any dietary restrictions? If not, I’ll just whip up something with the vegetables from our own garden–no fancy meat or fish, so I hope nobody minds.”

Upon hearing this, despite their mouths being full, everyone hastily nodded, “Definitely don’t go to any trouble with fancy meat or fish!”

This isn’t the old days where such things are a rarity, right?

“With your homegrown vegetables, I haven’t eaten anything as delicious as this in my whole life!”

“Right, Song Tan, no wonder you sell watermelons for 20 yuan a kilo, totally worth it, really!”

While saying this, they swallowed their bittersweet tears; worth it, yes, but truth be told, they also genuinely didn’t have the money–such delights were simply unaffordable!
