Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 117: 117. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others

Views:

It was such a miserable experience, and they really didn't gain any advantage at all. But now that the question has been asked, how should they answer

Sun Yanyan could only force out a miserable face: "It's all my fault. When Tan Tan said there were locust flowers in the back hills, I couldn't resist the temptation..."

Then he looked at Song Tan with resentment, and said meaningfully: "Tan Tan, why didn't you tell me that you have such a dangerous dog in your backyard?"

Her eyeliner was smudged, and the mascara left spots underneath. The foundation on her face was mottled by sweat and tears, and she walked with a limp because of her heroic fight with Baymax.

Now that things are so difficult, you still have to be cunning. Song Tan really couldn't help laughing: "Pfft, sister-in-law, my family has five big dogs watching the mountains. Everyone in the village knows it. I didn't expect that I told Qiao Qiao to go pick locust flowers in the afternoon, but you couldn't even wait for a meal..."

She was too lazy to argue any further as there were so many people waiting to eat.

"Sister-in-law, your eyeliner is smudged. Let's go back and wash our faces."

What a fatal sentence!

Sun Yanyan immediately covered her face with fear, and then limped down the mountain into the yard.

Song Tan was watching from behind and asked Song Dafang, who had a gloomy face, "Uncle, I think my sister-in-law is fine. She looks so energetic."

What can uncle say

He just felt ashamed.

Because of this farce, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt ashamed during lunch. Fortunately, the food tasted good enough, so although their farce left a mark in everyone's mind, it did not affect their mood and appetite.

So the big pot of food on the table was eaten up completely.

Sun Yanyan and Mao Li struggled for a while, and only one chive dumpling was left in each of their hands.

Last time, I didn’t get the extremely delicious sweet clover, but when I ate the lettuce, it tasted a lot worse than the sweet clover.

Try this chive box again -

Hmm!

tasty!

!

Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's eyes lit up.

After waiting for a long time for everyone to finish their meal, Sun Yanyan wanted to ask where the chive field was, but she didn't expect that her aunt, who was not shy, had already picked up the basket and said to Wang Lifen:

"Mom, I'll get some more of your lettuce, and I'll take some more garlic sprouts too."

Wow, is this the competitor

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not dare to delay, and quickly picked up the basket and followed behind without saying a word.

Uncle Song was simply disgusted - why do you have to carry such a big plastic basket when you go to collect the vegetables? Are you taking advantage of others and are you afraid that they will forget it

Just go back to the city.

But when I thought about the taste of the lunch, and the embarrassment I had already suffered - forget it, just give up.

He thought numbly.

Besides, because they came back specially, they had lunch early and it was only twelve o'clock now.

It would be too inappropriate to rush back at this time, as if I was punching in to complete a task.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a burst of laughter coming from the door.

Everyone stopped and saw four women of similar age walking towards them, each carrying a bamboo basket.

Seeing so many people at Song Tan's door, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted:

"Hey, Wulan, are you worried that we will eat the food at home? We just came back and you have already finished eating."

Wang Lifen, who was washing a basin at a nearby sink, was thinking:

Can't you have breakfast

Eat early and leave early so as not to delay her from working to earn money. She has been delayed for half a day today, but she can still go to the tea mountain in the afternoon and earn another fifty yuan.

Wulan also hurriedly came out with a smile:

"That's right. If you offer me such a high salary and also provide meals, then I will just be working for you this season."

"What high price? What high price?"

One of them was not happy: "In previous years, we would have paid two or three hundred yuan a day to hire tea pickers, and they would charge by kilograms, so the more you work, the more you get. You charge by the day, and we can only pick four or five kilograms for you every day, so be content."

Wulan also laughed: "In previous years, tea was expensive, and the tea pickers were from other places. Are you?"

"My tea leaves are growing so well. You didn't pick so many tea leaves for your family in previous years, did you?"

"Besides, it's two or three hundred a day, so why should I bother to pay you? I can do it myself."

They were all chatting and communicating together in the past, and now they were talking very casually.

Wulan took out a scale with familiarity, poured the fresh buds into a plastic bag one by one, hung the hook, put the weight on the scale, and gave the weight very efficiently: "Two catties and seven ounces."

The next one hung up will also weigh 2.7 jin.

Everyone laughed and said, "Wulan, I think we may have been farmhands for your family in our previous lives, working so hard picking tea for you on a daily basis."

Wulan also laughed: "If you were my long-term farmhand, I would drive you out to work as soon as the cock crowed!"

Everyone was laughing and joking. Uncle Song watched them leave after recording the accounts with a cold look, and then asked, "Are you still picking tea leaves this year?"

Wulan smiled and said, "Yes, it's still Tantan. This kid is back and has been causing trouble for us old guys. We have to pick chestnuts, tea leaves, and rice."

"You insist on saying that the outside world is bad..."

Uncle Song wanted to ask: My family has picked tea leaves, so why does the tea we drink at noon seem to be last year’s stale tea

But because of the matter between Mao Li and Sun Yanyan, he just couldn't bring himself to speak.

Mao Li was standing at the door with a basket in her hand. She smiled and said, "Ah, young people are still full of energy. Tea leaves here are not worth much. Is your income enough to hire workers?"

Wulan laughed and said, "It's OK. The tea tastes good and is more expensive than in previous years. I can make some money."

Then he quickly turned the tables: "Sister-in-law, I see your tea plantation is growing well this year. Why don't you hire a few people to help pick tea leaves for a day, and I'll fry them for you as well?"

Logically speaking, their family has picked tea leaves, so no matter what the quality is, it is not a problem to give a pound or half a pound of tea to relatives and friends.

But first of all, tea is too expensive this year.

Secondly, Wulan disliked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

What's more, Uncle Song's family owns nearly 50 acres of land, including mountains and fields, which is twice as much as ours. He has just abandoned it and left it there. Why should we give it to him

snort!

Otherwise, why do people say that money is a person’s courage

In the past, Wu Lan felt that since Qiao Qiao was like this, she would have to have a personal relationship with her brothers and sisters, so she had to swallow the bitterness of those hurtful words.

Sometimes I know it in my heart, but I still hold on to a glimmer of hope.

now…

She coldly looked at the attitudes of Mao Li and Sun Yanyan after her family made money, and then looked at Uncle Song who seemed to be a good person and didn't care about anything, but she knew in her heart:

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
