After the lively greetings, Song Tan stretched his neck to look around the room:
"Where's Qianqian? Hasn't Qianqian come yet?" Where's her boss Qianqian? She can't wait to have her inspect the watermelons!
However, this enthusiasm made the surrounding female classmates feel pity:
"Wu Qianqian hasn't come yet. She just sent a message in the group saying she will come later - Song Tan, are you close to Wu Qianqian?"
Look how she called me just now, Qianqian, Qianqian, how intimate!
Alas, poor Song Tan stayed in the village every day, she was still too naive. I don’t know how Wu Qianqian slandered her - someone couldn’t bear it at the time:
"Song Tan, are you on good terms with her?"
Song Tan thought about it and said pertinently: "Qianqian takes good care of my business."
The other party's expression became more complicated.
After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "You should be more careful. Before Qianqian invited you to join the group, she also said that she would donate money to you!"
How humiliating.
What? Donate?!
Song Tan's eyes lit up: "She is so kind to me, but my family is not short of money now, so I can only thank her for her kindness."
"By the way, how much is Qianqian going to donate?" If she really wanted to show her willingness, she could just buy groceries from home.
The girls looked at each other, their expressions becoming more and more conflicted - how could they say this
I had no choice but to clear my throat and change the subject:
"By the way, I heard from Wu Qianqian that there was a misunderstanding between you, her, and her boyfriend..."
"You are talking about Teacher Xin!"
He taught so well that Song Tan wanted to keep him at home for a long time, so he said with extra enthusiasm: "Wu Qianqian's previous boyfriend was called Xin Jun. Did you know that? He was so handsome! He was an excellent tutor. I finally invited him home to teach my younger brother. Do you know what happened to my younger brother? He's very sensible now!"
"If any of you are single, why not consider this!"
Wow, what an innocent thought!
He first stated the simplicity of his purpose, and then talked about his brother's condition. It was clear that Song Tan had no extra intentions.
That’s what I mean. She is so beautiful, and Wu Qianqian’s boyfriend sounds like a jerk. What’s he looking for
It turned out that Wu Qianqian felt good about herself and thought that everyone wanted to take her things.
Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Someone even joked: "Teacher Xin is so nice, why don't you consider it?"
Song Tan sighed, "My family needs someone strong enough to do farm work. Teacher Xin is a teacher after all. When he was told about harvesting rice in summer, his face turned pale."
“Hahahahahahaha…” everyone laughed even louder.
And it was only then that someone asked, "Your family is going to harvest rice. Are you tired? Is it very hard?"
"Not bad." Song Tan answered pertinently: "It is very tiring, but my family only has two acres of land, and we eat all our own food, so it doesn't matter if it's a little slower."
At that moment, someone's eyes lit up and pointed at the little boy playing on the swing in front: "Song Tan, is your family open for rice harvesting? If you have parent-child programs, I want to take my son with me!"
"Let him and his father harvest rice in the fields!"
As for her as a mother, she should just put on some sunscreen and shoot a video for them!
That's not necessary... It involves many people eating, and she still needs to have a good reputation after all. It's not easy to charge high prices for old classmates. In addition, there are children's safety issues... Trouble
But just as I was thinking this, I heard several boys around me also became interested: "What? Harvesting rice? Song Tan, your family still grows rice. Can I apply to help? Bring my nephew with me!"
"And me, I'll take care of my daughter! Oh, you don't know, my mother-in-law took care of her before, and she spoiled the child beyond measure. I've wanted to take her to experience farm work for a long time—"
"Not only can we harvest rice, we can also do other things..."
If so many people really go to harvest the rice, even if they cut them one by one with a knife, it will take half a day to finish.
Song Tan: …
It was hard for Song Tan not to be moved.
Apart from anything else, the final payment for the house has to be made and there is a contract in the village waiting to be signed. Now that we are extremely poor, we have to find a way to increase our income!
She was a little embarrassed: "My family is poor, the food is simple, and it is dangerous for children to work with rice... I am afraid that I am not treating you well enough."
"Besides, harvesting rice is really hard..."
Before he could finish his words, the squad leader came over and said, "That's nothing! Now when we go out to party or play, we sign a waiver agreement in advance, and everyone signs it."
Regardless of whether it has legal significance or not, it is at least a reassurance.
Now he took out his phone and did some statistics: "The Dragon Boat Festival holiday has just begun, and everyone happens to have time! If you agree, I will organize it here, and I will make sure that we can get more than 10 people to go! We will have a dinner together on our own."
"Do you think it's okay?"
"If that doesn't work, we can pay to sign up for a group!"
They are all classmates, and Song Tan wants long-term development, so he wouldn't do anything so cruel.
If everyone is so positive...
Then don't blame her.
So she smiled in an especially simple manner: "What are you talking about! We are all classmates, why do we need to pay a registration fee? When the time comes, I will hire two workers to harvest the rice in the field, and leave a piece of it for you to take care of your children."
"It's just that we can't buy good farm tools in our village at the moment, such as sickles for cutting rice... Please bring your own."
"That's a must!"
With so many people going there to eat, it must cost more than a thousand yuan, right
Song Tan doesn't even mention the money now, you can't ask him to pay for the farm tools!
To be honest, when going to a blueberry garden or a dragon fruit garden, everyone has to pay a share of the money. She was so kind that it made everyone feel embarrassed.
"How about we split the bill for dinner? In case there are more people..."
Song Tan waved his hands quickly, feeling embarrassed: "No, forget it if everyone goes out to play, my own rice won't interfere with anything, why would I ask for money?"
"How about this, I'll treat you to lunch, and then you won't experience harvesting rice in the afternoon. Everyone can take the children to experience threshing and shelling. What do you want to eat for dinner? Everyone can submit a menu and we will set the price based on the menu, okay?"
Good job!
My old classmate is so simple and kind, how can we not be jealous
Not to mention the few people with children who agreed on the spot, those who were single or childless were also excited:
"I'm going too!"
A proper farmer's meal costs quite a bit of money, this is such a bargain!
“Bring your friends over to have some fun!”
A gentle smile appeared on Song Tan's fair face:
"Okay, we're all classmates, so there's no need to be so particular. Anyway, the food in my house is really, really delicious. I'm afraid you'll each eat several bowls, so remember to bring more money!"
I swear to God, this is really advice, but everyone laughed even more happily.
