Do you want watermelon
Old Zhao sat up in shock from his dying illness.
"Yes, yes, yes—ahem, ahem, I mean, why are you calling at this time? The truck that's bringing the watermelons won't leave until tomorrow."
Song Tan sighed and told the truth: "It's going to rain heavily, and I'm too lazy to move them home. There are probably about a thousand of them, so I need to find a big truck."
One thousand?! Oh, his customers must be so happy! He knows that many people now buy several and put them in traffic jams, and drive several hours to the next city!
It’s so delicious and so charming!
Old Zhao almost laughed wildly: "Song Tan, Song Tan, you also have today - well, I mean, what if I don't want it?"
Song Tan: …
"That's easy!" She sneered, "I'll book a car myself, notify the group, and open a melon for new customers to try - do you think I can sell it?"
Is there any need to ask
Lao Zhao rushed out the door: "You pick it first, I'll find a car now!"
The watermelon was too heavy, and moving it was a very strenuous job. Song Tan stopped Wu Lan and Song Sancheng from going up the mountain. Instead, he took Zhang Yanping and Wu Lei to carry the watermelon in batches, and also called two other villagers.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yanping only moved five times before escaping - after all, his job was customer service.
And Wu Lei...
He has been numb these days.
Now I am wearing a straw hat, dirty sun protection clothing and vest. In just a few days, my cheeks have been tanned yellow and black...
And just then, the phone rang.
“Lili!”
He was extremely surprised. It was because Lili had rarely contacted him on her own initiative during this period. As a young couple in love, Wu Lei was still quite disappointed.
but…
He was feeling a little weak, and since he was working here, he had to sleep much longer than usual.
I start working as soon as I open my eyes and wash up in the morning. I feel sleepy when I lie down on the bed after washing at night... The only free time during the day is to help pick vegetables or to clean up, and then take a 20-minute nap...
My schedule is too full and I don't have time to think.
The speed of answering the video call was particularly fast at this moment, and Zhu Li, who was dressed very beautifully on the other side, was stunned—
The person in front of me... is her boyfriend
Her boyfriend has fair skin and good looks (genetic), he is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, at least he looks very handsome.
And the one in front of him—wearing a straw hat with a hole on the edge (Song Tan didn’t have time to buy a new one), wearing a white vest full of marks (now it’s floral), with sweat beads on the exposed skin, and a darker face...
This, this, this!
How could this be Lili's boyfriend? There is absolutely no possibility!
!
Her expression was so shocking that Wu Lei felt a little embarrassed as he stared at her expression on the screen.
"Lili, am I particularly ugly like this?"
"No, how could it be?" Lili looked at him sincerely: "Baby, why are you so hard-working! Uncle and aunt are so cruel, you are their child!"
As she spoke, her eyes became red: "Leilei, why don't you just forget it? I really can't bear to see you working so hard for the house..."
"Your parents are so cruel to you, I really... I really..."
"And I'm so sad now, I really need someone to be with me..."
Her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.
"Don't cry!"
Wu Lei was anxious: "I, I, I... I'm fine at my aunt's house! Their food is especially delicious! And I still have a salary. Tan Tan said to show off first, and then slowly persuade-"
Hey, how long will it take to show this? Why is it so hard now... Do I still need to show it
Wu Lei looked at Lili, not caring about his thoughts at the moment, his face full of sweat showed tenderness: "Lili, don't cry, I'm with you, come here. Tan Tan said that the last incident was a misunderstanding, she has seen my performance, she won't mind..."
"Come here, I'll take you to my aunt's house for a good meal. It's so delicious! It's worth it!"
Julie: …
Even through the screen, her expression was a little tense—
Eat, eat, eat! Eat your big head!
!
She couldn't bring up any other topics, and every three sentences she made were about food! How could she be so useless
She then lowered her head and shed tears: "Leilei, I feel that you are really having a hard time now. You have to work in such hot weather... How much money do you make a month to make you work so hard? When we were together before, you bought me coffee and milk tea every day, took me out to eat, and bought me clothes and skins..."
"Now, I'm really lonely without you... You don't even play the game anymore."
Wu Lei felt very guilty: "Lili! I don't have the ability - come, don't be sad, take the money and buy yourself something delicious!"
Zhu Li frowned and felt relieved.
But staring at the phone—
Red envelope of 200?!
!
What can I do with 200? I can’t even sit in a cafe for a whole night! It’s outrageous!
Meanwhile, Wu Lei sighed, "It would be a shame if you didn't come. The food at my aunt's is so delicious. But it's a pity, Lili, I haven't received my salary yet. I only have over 300 yuan left, and I can't afford to buy anything to send to you..."
Speaking of this, he felt a little embarrassed. It was really that Tan Tan was too stingy—not only did he not get any discounts when buying things, but he also didn’t get free shipping!
But... he felt that men shouldn't be so stupid and say everything, so he saved face for Tan Tan in front of Lili, so that Lili wouldn't feel too sorry for him and get angry.
Julie: …
There's no chatting today.
Every word he said was about food, and even the money transfers he used to make were now limited to the amount of red envelopes he sent…
To be honest, when Lili was in love with Wu Lei, they did have feelings for each other.
But after she became a host, she came into contact with more and more topics and circles. Gradually, other people's lives became better and better, and she was assimilated. Now she can't do without this false generosity and luxury.
In comparison, her rural boyfriend who has no house or car can hardly bring her any face in the circle.
But at this moment, Julie was reluctant to give up this relationship.
Therefore, she accepted the shabby 200 yuan with mixed feelings, and then looked at her boyfriend who looked like a silly dog in the video and sighed:
"Leilei, I'll find time to visit you next month."
She recalled the embarrassing past here, and now her expression was embarrassed and painful. But in Wu Lei's eyes, it was Lili coming to visit -
Hey, why describe it like this
Anyway, never mind!
He nodded happily: "Okay, okay! Lili, you must come soon! I will advance your salary and buy you some local specialties - you must come!"
"Don't worry, I'll try to buy some of those white fungus, tea leaves, green pepper beef sauce and bring them back for you!"
He looked at Lili affectionately and emphasized again: "Tan Tan's food is really, really delicious!"
Julie: …
She pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and hung up the video silently.
