When Tian Tian returned home, she took a shower and washed her hair first. She drank a lot of water when she came out. The electric fan was whirring, which made her feel comfortable.
Seeing her parents sweating profusely, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's too hot this year. Why don't we buy an air conditioner first? A cheap one that costs over a thousand is good enough."
Otherwise her parents would suffer a lot at home.
"I think we should buy one too." Tian Ye cooked the meal and wiped his sweat while saying, "The temperature has been over 40 degrees in the afternoon these days. We really can't live without air conditioning."
I heard that several elderly people have passed away in other villages. If it is because of the hot weather, no one has any evidence. But if it is not, why are there so many deaths this year
Tian's mother shook her head: "No! You two are at home, and I don't need to do any work. Isn't more than a thousand yuan a lot of money? It will be over soon."
She was afraid that her children would start talking about air conditioning again, so she quickly asked, "What did you do this morning? Are you okay?"
If they were both in poor health, why would they ask their children to do farm work in the scorching sun at a temperature of 38 or 39 degrees
In this weather, I'm sweating profusely just sitting at home.
Tian Tian shook her head: "It's OK. It took us a whole morning to harvest less than three-tenths of sesame." Cutting for a while and then taking a break is much worse than that of the farmers. I still feel backache after coming back.
"Don't try so hard..."
Tian Ma advised.
Tian Tian was helpless: "We have to work hard, Mom, we are offered a salary of 200 yuan each."
What? Two hundred dollars
Mother Tian paused and said weakly, "Then don't force yourself to stay up. Go and rest if you are really tired."
Tian Tian was thinking in her heart—
200 a day, the brother and sister could earn more than 2,000 a week. Together with the money they had on hand, it was enough to pay Tian Ye’s tuition.
But where can I live
There are very few houses for short-term rental in their small city. I did ask around for short-term rentals near the university, but a small studio would take 51 days...
She frowned, feeling really distressed, so she had to look at the rental information again and ask the teacher when she was ready to register.
However, all these worries turned into surprise when I took a sickle and prepared to harvest mung beans in the afternoon.
"W-what?"
Even someone as calm as Tian Tian was a little bit unbelievable at this moment: "Let Tian Ye learn from you?"
"Yes." Yan Ran smiled and said, "Even though we are all college students now, it will not be a problem for us to take the CET-4. After all, many relevant publications are usually in English."
It stands to reason that the peak of knowledge in life is in the third year of high school, and college students are not reliable. But... who made them work hard enough
I had to fight for scholarships every year in college, and I had to take the postgraduate entrance exam. I finally got to follow Professor Song, who is so famous. I was afraid that I would embarrass the teacher if I slacked off a little bit...
Thank God, the knowledge reserves are still there, which can somewhat make up for the guilt of eating and drinking for free at Song Tan's house.
As for the hard work of preparing fertilizer for the whole morning... can it be called hard work? It's all very simple work.
The joy on Tian Tian's face was about to burst out, and it was incomparable at this moment: "No, no... I was... I didn't expect..."
Song Tan quickly came over to comfort her: "It's okay, this is just a simple thing to do."
"Look, Tian Ye is still in school. If he starts working so early, his health will collapse. It's better for him to study hard during this holiday and get into a good university. It will also bring honor to our village."
"You work hard in the fields and earn a salary, and he goes to class here, and we can get by."
Then he looked at Tian Ye, who was speechless and dazed, with an expression that was particularly sincere and considerate:
"If you really feel bad, then we can study when it's hot, and help my family out in the morning and evening, and I won't pay you. Is that okay?"
At this moment, Tian Tian and Tian Ye were so moved that they almost shed tears. But the siblings took a deep breath to suppress their tears, and then nodded solemnly:
"OK!"
At this time, what does it matter whether there is a salary or not? If it is really possible, Tian Tian herself would not even ask for a salary!
Thinking about Song Tan's words again, it is clear that he is considerate of his own difficulties and his brother's self-esteem.
If you are still not satisfied with this, then I will be struck by lightning!
Tian Ye looked at her, clenched his fists, and nodded heavily: "I will work hard."
Yan Ran smiled and waved his hand:
"Then don't rush to work now. Go back and bring your test papers and textbooks to me. To be honest, the results of my tutoring for you will definitely not be as good as those of your professional teachers. Don't mind."
Every profession has its own specialty, and the teacher is a professional teacher, so his level must be better than mine. Yanran knew this.
But the teacher, Tang Xiaodong, and Qi Lin all said it was too hot, and they couldn’t hang out like this all the time. They would get so tanned that it would be hard to find a partner…
Of course, Yan Ran knew that they were considerate of her because she was a girl, and since she was not feeling well during those few days, she found an excuse...
Yanran was also grateful.
At this moment, looking at the excited Tian Ye, his expression was particularly gentle: "You guys work normally in the afternoon, I will make a simple lesson plan based on the test paper and textbooks, and we will officially start tomorrow, okay?"
She is really thoughtful.
At this moment, even someone as strong and cheerful as Tian Tian couldn't help but have red eyes.
She nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, Tianye, go work in the fields first. I'll go home and get the test paper for you."
The brother and sister set out together, heading in opposite directions, but with the same high morale.
…
When Tian Tian came over again on her motorcycle, Sun Ziqiang was about to go to work.
Seeing someone coming, he asked casually:
"Are you going to harvest beans this afternoon? How about I take you there on my tricycle later? That way I don't have to walk, and you don't have to come back and ride the tricycle again."
When Tian Ye, that silly boy, heard the news, he walked up the mountain without looking back. When Song Tan and the others came to their senses, they found that the silly boy only took a sickle and didn't even ride the tricycle.
Tian Tian nodded: "Okay."
Then she put Tianye's schoolbag down and got in the car. She worked slowly, so she couldn't waste time on such things, otherwise she would be sorry for the kindness of others.
Sun Ziqiang started the car skillfully and was about to ride onto the main road when Song Tan caught up with him and shouted:
"Don't be stubborn. If you are really tired, just take a rest."
Otherwise, if she exhausts others and has to pay compensation, it will not be worth it!
On the tricycle, Sun Ziqiang also shouted loudly: "Did you hear me? You better take care of yourself and don't burden Song Tan. It's not easy to find a generous boss these days."
He was left penniless after buying the car, so he had to find a way to save money!
On the tricycle, Tian Tian's body swayed along the bumpy mountain road. She said nothing, but the burden on her shoulders suddenly became lighter.
