The tea leaves have been cut for some time. If you go to the tea garden now, you can see from a distance that the gray-brown tea branches are covered with a sparse layer of green buds.
At this rate of growth, I'm afraid we'll be able to pick them again in a month or so.
Look at the old leaves all over the yard. They are not old leaves at all; they are clearly golden leaves!
Song Tan thought, they really deserved the credit for using that little bit of spiritual energy in the beginning to feed the tea leaves, they really did a good job!
Otherwise, the construction team came to discuss the start date with her yesterday, and she would have to see what else she could sell.
Then I looked at the message from Tian Tian on my phone, asking what time I usually go to the fields in the morning, and saying that I would come to help harvest sesame seeds after breakfast...
Look, look! What a God-given employee! He doesn't want salary, and he has to eat before coming back!
If I had known that Zhou Tianyu would be able to meet such a great girl on a blind date, I would have kept him in my hometown and let him meet one girl a day!
But now...
She showed Wulan the message that the other person had sent, and as a mother, she felt very happy.
Of course, he is not a competent capitalist after all, so he sighed:
"It's not easy for that girl. She doesn't even stay at home for meals. You still have to pay her salary. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will be hard to recruit workers at the end of the year."
"I know."
What is the future of being a temporary worker? Paopi Song plans to use salary to coax people to become permanent workers!
Wulan joined the group of people packing the marinade bags, and while doing so slowly, she casually said:
"Lanhua, is the girl you told Tianyu about really from a poor family?"
Don't mention it. Li Lanhua's heart ached when she mentioned it. "Yes, why not? Didn't I tell you? Not only do we have debts, but we will also have a heavy burden in the next few years. Otherwise, I wouldn't be picky about such a good girl."
Li Lanhua said this sincerely.
After all, after Tian Tian told her everything, she also asked people about it, otherwise she wouldn't have given up so easily.
Wu Lan sighed: "Alas, it's a debt. If you work hard, you will pay it off one day. If the child is really a good person, you can't miss it!"
Speaking of this, Li Lanhua felt even more heartbroken.
"I thought so at first. I was sighing to you the other day. You said that if my family had the conditions, I would definitely not miss it."
As she said this, her hands did not stop moving at all, she was very skillful.
"But think about it, Wulan. This girl is the eldest in the family and has a younger brother. I heard that her grades in our city's key high school are also very good. She will definitely go to college."
"What we mean is, even if his parents are in good health, how much money can they make in the village in a year? It's another matter if the debt is not paid off when the child goes to college."
"Besides, going to college is so expensive now. Tuition is several thousand yuan a year, and living expenses are a month. Even if a boy reduces his salary, he still can't eat enough without 1,800 yuan, right?"
"If it really concerns the future of our children, we will become a family again. What should we do if someone comes to borrow money?"
Just lend it to me. We are already struggling financially and have to live from hand to mouth.
If I don’t lend it to you, it will be so hurtful given the relationship we have.
After much thought, I had no choice but to give up such a good girl.
In fact, Li Lanhua is not a person who only cares about money.
But people who are poor have low aspirations!
Their family only saved a little more this year, and that's how they were able to get together enough for the down payment on the house in Yuncheng. But the down payment alone is not enough for their child's wedding, and they also need gifts, betrothal gifts, and other things... It will take at least 100,000 yuan, right
Gift giving in the village is not like in the city. For weddings and funerals, they basically only accept gifts of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which is just enough to cover the banquet money.
With these conditions, I can't even handle myself, so why should I help others
Aunt Chen said at the beginning that the family conditions were not so good, and Li Lanhua thought that at most they could give the bride price and use it to pay off their debts.
But I never thought that the conditions of this house were so poor.
While her parents were still recuperating, and her brother's future required a lot of money, the girl was the only able-bodied laborer now... She gave up with great reluctance.
Li Lanhua had actually said this before. But Wu Lan asked again because of this moment—
She only sighed:
"Oh, what a pity. Don't waste such a good college student. Tan Tan said, our family is going to harvest sesame seeds tomorrow, so we thought we could ask them to come to our house to help with the work, and they could earn at least a hundred or eighty yuan..."
Li Lanhua laughed out loud:
"I wonder why you keep asking me this question! Please, how can I be uncomfortable with this?"
Song Tan was listening and thought, isn't he afraid that you guys will feel uncomfortable
Auntie Lanhua is not that kind of person, but some people will become enemies if the blind date fails, or they may just dislike the other person or something like that...
But now the other party only feels regret when mentioning it. This girl Tian Tian has an incredible emotional intelligence!
Tsk tsk tsk, why are young girls in such a hurry to get married? The right thing to do is to make money.
So Song Tan also said with a smile:
"Aunt Lanhua, isn't my mother afraid that you'll be jealous?"
"Jealous? Jealous of what?"
Li Lanhua was puzzled.
I only heard Song Tan say:
"Look, my two cousins were both working at home before, and they both have no partners. And our teacher Xin is also single despite his good looks."
"You speak so highly of Tian Tian, saying she's one in a million. My mom is already tempted. She wants to ask her to do some work and observe her..."
"If it's suitable, I can introduce her to the three bachelors in my family."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh:
"Great, Wulan! No wonder you asked so many questions, you just wanted to steal my money."
Wulan also reacted and smiled: "Why are you interrupting? You also said that your family is not suitable. It's different here. There are plenty of boys. Just let the girls choose!"
Everyone laughed and joked about it.
The topic went back and forth, but turned to Song Tan again:
"Tan Tan," Aunt Chen smiled at the side, "You only worry about your cousin and your teacher Xin, why don't you worry about yourself? You are in your twenties this year, right? Oh, it's time to find a date!"
"How about it? Tell Aunt Chen what conditions you want, and I'll help you find some."
Song Tan did not resist at all:
"Oh, I have low requirements. I just want someone who can work in the fields. Aunt Chen, if you know anyone who is hardworking and diligent, feel free to introduce them to me."
Aunt Chen laughed when she heard it:
"Are you still embarrassed? If the conditions are really like this, there are many people out there. Are you still interested in them?"
"What's the matter?"
Song Tan said seriously: "Of course I have to look at them all. Diligence is only one aspect. With so many people, I have to pick out which one works efficiently and which one has excellent character."
She said seriously:
"Aunt, I'm serious. Please introduce anyone you know to me."
