After saying this, everyone looked strange.
Then there were bursts of laughter one after another.
However, an old classmate who also came from the countryside said, "Song Tan, you are obsessed with being single! Nowadays, no matter how good a young person is at the gym, it may not work if you ask him to harvest rice."
"I can't help it." Song Tan said seriously, "My family has to dig tea trees and knock chestnuts. After a while, we have to clean up the peach orchard... I don't have much strength, why should I keep it?"
After a few words, the topic immediately turned to Taoyuan chestnuts and tea mountains. Everyone couldn't help but feel deeply envious:
"Landlord... so happy!"
In the past, city hukou was valuable, but now if someone has a piece of land in their hometown, it feels like they have someone to rely on and can live a pastoral life at any time.
If you imagine the romantic countryside in your dreams where people work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise, you will really envy them.
Wu Qianqian, who was ignored again, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
She thought bitterly: If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it! Tomorrow, she will also go to Song Tan's house!
She wanted to see with her own eyes whether there was anything fishy going on between these two people!
…
Everyone has only been working for two years, and few have started families. Nowadays, when they chat at the dinner table, they either complain about their colleagues and bosses, or lament the difficulty of finding a job, and the topic is quite harmonious.
It wasn't until after 9 o'clock in the evening that the show slowly ended.
But no one felt sad about leaving, because they were attracted by the atmosphere at the dinner table. Later, many people signed up with the squad leader and wanted to go to Song Tan’s house tomorrow to participate in the rice harvesting activity!
Song Tan started laughing.
"With so many of you there, it's not even a question of whether my two acres of land is enough. You might as well not buy a sickle for the child and just give him a pair of scissors."
"That won't work." The head of the family said seriously, "We have to harvest rice if we want to."
"You don't know, their school has so many projects. I have not only a small sickle, a small hoe, and a small shovel at home, but also a small pot, a small alcohol stove, and a small kitchen knife... everything is complete!"
Isn’t it
Even if there is some, if we all contribute, there will be nothing missing.
Only the squad leader was a little worried: "With so many people, will your family have enough time to cook tomorrow? Don't tire your family out."
There are quite a few, about thirty or forty in total. My seventh cousin will have to work hard tomorrow, and he will probably have to hire two kitchen helpers.
"But it's okay."
Song Tan now smiles cheerfully: "We all have big appetites. The chef at home treats us like little pigs and we are used to feeding them."
The monitor laughed: "Oh, you are so humorous!"
Song Tan thought, "You still don't believe me," and then he added, "By the way, when we're harvesting rice, my brother might do a live broadcast. He likes chatting with kids online right now... If you don't want to show your faces, I'll separate the two sides."
"Okay." The squad leader calculated the number of people, and then said embarrassedly: "Don't overestimate our fighting power, just leave us half a field."
"OK."
Song Tan didn't overestimate her in the first place. Besides, he was too tired to lift his arms or hands. How could he transfer money to her
She was aware of this.
but…
Song Tan still has one thing to confirm—
"Qianqian, it's very hard to cut the rice and dry it in the sun. Do you really want to go?"
"What's wrong?" Wu Qianqian raised her neck and said, "It's not like I can't endure hardship. Just put on more sunscreen."
Song Tan sighed: "I was thinking about your ex-boyfriend working in my house, and I was afraid that you would be reminded of his past when you saw him."
After hearing this, Wu Qianqian became even more certain that there was something fishy going on between the two of them!
Otherwise, why wouldn't Song Tan want to let him go
She became even more excited: "It's a group activity, I just want to have fun. Don't worry, I'm not going to pester anyone, I just want to harvest rice! I love harvesting rice!"
Only then did Song Tan feel satisfied.
…
When I get home at night, it is already 11:00 and everyone in the family has gone to bed long ago. Even Zhang Yanping, a night owl, has given up the habit of staying up late.
Song Tan was not in a hurry. He slept soundly until 5 o'clock in the morning before getting up.
Then she discussed with her mother: "Mom, I see we are very busy these days. It is not convenient to squeeze in grandpa's house. Why don't we go home and live first?"
"The housewarming party will be held after we are done harvesting rice."
"Okay!" Wu Lan and Song Sancheng went there several times every day. They had almost everything in their house. Now they thought about it:
"It's nothing important, just bring your own things."
The prodigal son had dealt with all the old things, so she couldn't find anything she wanted.
Now even the bedding is brand new!
The child's grandfather had also been weaving a few straw mats out of rush, and they were also laid out.
Now, apart from a housewarming party, you can really move in anytime.
Song Tan nodded, and then asked Uncle Seventh Cousin: "Uncle Seventh Cousin, have you cleaned up all the things in the kitchen?"
That's a must.
The new kitchen is a square room with a storage area, a convenient gas stove and an area for burning firewood... It is clearly divided, clean and bright, spacious and ventilated!
There's even an air conditioning fan!
Just say this, which chef doesn’t like it
Of course, when installing the air conditioner, Uncle Qi thought it was unnecessary: "There is a lot of smoke when cooking, and if we use a wood stove, the fire will be very hot. Isn't it a waste to install an air conditioner?"
But Song Tan didn't think so.
Air conditioners are so cheap now! You can buy a first-class energy-efficient one for 2,000 yuan, which is worth it if it can make you feel more comfortable on a hot day! I don’t expect it to last for decades like the old ones in the past.
Just a matter of 2,000 yuan actually moved my seventh cousin so much that my seventh grandmother became more and more active in coming to help every day.
Now, the whole family is looking forward to moving!
In addition to the set of equipment he is using now, my seventh cousin is moving all his old treasures that he has collected over the years there.
Now everything is ready, except for the people.
Seeing that everything was clear, Song Tan waved his hand and opened the list sent by the squad leader last night:
"Mom, today I have 32 classmates who brought their families and children to the fields to experience harvesting rice. We have to prepare a meal for lunch. Who is free today? Please come and help my seventh cousin?"
Good job!
Wu Lan was shocked: "You unlucky child! Why did you tell me about such a big thing this morning? Is it too late?"
"How come we're not in time?" Song Tan looked at the time. "It's only 5:30. We have to wash up, eat, move things and pack up... It will be 7 or 8 at the latest."
After all, furniture and appliances can only be moved in after the house is clean, and they are not the only ones who have been packing things up during this period; everyone is in a hurry!
Moving will take less than half an hour!
As for the students... if they can arrive by 8 o'clock, they are considered diligent!
