Aunt Chen has always been keen on matchmaking, otherwise Li Lanhua would not have entrusted the matter to her.
But now, after hearing what Song Tan said, he couldn't tell whether it was true or not. He looked at Wu Lan again and saw that she, as a mother, actually nodded:
"It's okay to take a look."
Little did he know that Wulan secretly glared at Song Tan - you are talking nonsense again!
But others don’t know!
For example, at this moment, Aunt Chen was a little panicked and hurriedly advised: "Tan Tan, you are still young, there is no need to rush to find a partner. We should find someone with a wealth, conversation and knowledge similar to yours, right?"
"I, your aunt, grew up in the village. How could I know someone who could make tens of millions with just a wave of my hand? We are not a good match... No, no."
There is a huge difference. It is really a huge difference. A few million is still something you can think about, but tens of millions is something you need to have the courage to even dream about. There is really a huge difference.
Song Tan laughed, thinking that his investment of tens of millions seemed to have paid off in the village.
But she was also very sincere: "It's okay, auntie, just introduce me. I don't care about money, I only care about labor."
First introduce, then get to know each other, and finally make contact... Once the contact is almost there, talk about the salary!
It's such a waste of youth for young guys to just sit there doing nothing.
There is a shortage of manpower here, but in our village, and the surrounding villages, we can't get many people. How can this be possible
Their family has a lot of work to do in autumn!
We really can't come to an agreement, but at least their circle of friends are all people of the same age, so it will be easier to recruit workers once the news gets out, right
Alas, Song Tan thought sadly: I have sacrificed too much for these two acres of land at home.
…
Aunt Chen couldn't find anyone for a while, but Tian Tian arrived on time the next morning. Not only that, but when she stopped her motorcycle, the boy got off and smiled shyly at everyone.
Song Tan: ... Good fellows, come on, two!
If that's the case, maybe we can harvest the mung beans today as well.
She was very enthusiastic, inviting him to drink some water and sit down to rest, which made Tian Tian feel embarrassed:
"My brother is on vacation at home and has nothing to do, so I asked him to come over and help - Song Tan, where is your sesame field? Let's work on it now before the sun comes out."
In fact, he has no money and cannot attend cram school. Instead of letting him feel bad at home, he should go out and do some work.
Tian Ye followed behind him. He didn't expect that Song Tan's house was so nice, and the people were so handsome and fair-skinned, as if they never worked in the fields.
I secretly looked at the slightly tanned back of Tian Tian's neck, and felt uncomfortable.
He also wants to make a lot of money!
Song Tan didn't care what they thought. Did they need someone right now? With Professor Song and three students, they didn't need that much.
The main purpose is to let everyone feel the working atmosphere here.
Besides, with them working in the fields, Professor Song and the others can go to the mountain and prepare more fertilizer with Uncle Zhang. Once the land is turned over, it is time to apply the base fertilizer, which is also very important.
So now he smiled and said, "The sesame field is in the back mountain. If it's hot today, you can come back after 9 o'clock. You can start working again after 4 o'clock in the afternoon and work until dark."
"I have a big family, so I won't leave any food for you, so I'll pay you 200 a day. Is that okay with you?"
ah
Now it was Tian Tian's turn to be stunned.
But she laughed again and said earnestly, "Song Tan, don't be like this. Didn't we agree yesterday that I would help with the work and you could just give me some branches when the time comes? Why are you talking about wages now?"
She didn't suspect that Song Tan was going back on his word and didn't want to give her branches, but it was such a good and profitable variety that she was given for free, and she still had to pay for the work...
This is really embarrassing.
Song Tan waved his hand.
Look at the long sleeves and long pants the brother and sister are wearing, and the straw hats and face scarves they are wearing - they really do want to work hard.
So he reached out and picked up two sickles and a roll of plastic rope for them.
"Don't think too much. The work is there. It doesn't matter who you hire. If you do a good job, you can come and work part-time during your vacation. I'm short of manpower here."
As he spoke, he rode on the small tricycle that Zhang Wangjia had specially left at the door.
"Come, I'll take you there."
The brother and sister hesitated, but finally sat in the back of the tricycle.
The hot summer wind swayed past my ears.
…
The sesame fields are green in August.
Green stems, green leaves, green pods... it seems like they can stay in the ground for a while longer.
But anyone who has planted sesame seeds knows that it is necessary to harvest them at this time.
Once the leaves turn yellow or the pods are ripe, if they are exposed to the sun for a little longer, the sesame seeds will burst from the inside and scatter all over the ground where they cannot be found. It is incredible how much of them will be wasted.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to harvest and dry them at this time.
Tian Tian's eyes widened: "The sesame seeds in your garden are growing well!"
That's right. Not only are the sesame stalks tall and thin, but the pods on them are also densely packed, weighing down the sesame stalks so much that they become a little crooked.
Although the entire sesame field is not large, only two or three centimeters in area, the yield is almost equal to that of an acre of other people's fields!
Seeing this, Tian Tian couldn't help but become even more delighted, thinking that she had come to the right place!
No matter what they plant, to have this yield, there must be a secret recipe! I wonder if they can save seeds from what they planted...
As for the fields, he had worked there before. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "After we cut the crops, will we tie them into bundles and hang them here?"
Their custom of drying sesame seeds here is to cut the sesame stalks, tie them into small bundles, and then stand them up in a cone shape on the ground.
It is convenient for drying and ventilation, and it saves the trouble of transporting it back, which is labor-intensive and takes up space when drying.
However, Song Tan shook his head and said, "After collecting them, just tie them into bundles and put them on the tricycle next to you. When it's full, call me and I'll ride over."
Although she used some tricks to drive away the insects, and Dabai and the ducks usually helped to patrol, but when the sesame seeds were ripe and exposed to the sun, it was hard to say whether there would be field mice or something to steal them.
It’s fine to eat what falls on the ground, but what if you find it delicious
Tian Ye was stunned and said subconsciously: "I can ride a tricycle."
Huh
Song Tan was surprised: "You really know how to ride? How's your technique? Don't get hurt."
Tian Ye looked at the tricycle carefully and nodded with certainty: "I can ride it!
"I ride this kind of bike on my days off to take my dad to town to see a doctor."
"Okay!" Song Tan was relieved and handed him the key: "Then this job belongs to you."
"By the way." She warned again, "Don't keep basking in this kind of weather. If you don't come back after nine or ten o'clock, I will have to come look for you."
And now, it’s just past five in the morning.
Tian Tian looked at the small but dense sesame seeds, then looked at the small tricycle parked in front of her, and nodded heavily:
"Don't worry. We can definitely finish mowing in one morning."
