117. It is better to seek help from others than from yourself
The experience was such a miserable one, and they really didn't take advantage of it at all. But now that the question is asked, how should they answer it?
Sun Yanyan had no choice but to put on a miserable face: "It's all my fault. As soon as Tantan said there were locust trees in the back hill, I couldn't help but be greedy..."
Then he looked at Song Tan sadly and said pointedly: "Tan Tan, you have such a dangerous dog in your backyard, why didn't you tell me?"
Her eyeliner was all smudged, and her mascara had stained marks underneath. The foundation on her face was stained with sweat and tears, and she still limped when she walked due to her heroic struggle with Baymax.
Now that it's so difficult, and he still has to be so careful, Song Tan really couldn't help laughing: "Pfft-cough, sister-in-law, I have five big dogs watching the mountains. Everyone in the village knows that, and I don't
Thinking about it, I even told Qiao Qiao to go to Sophora japonica in the afternoon, but you couldn't even wait for a meal..."
She was too lazy to talk anymore, there were so many people waiting for dinner.
"Sister-in-law, your eyeliner is smudged, let's go back and wash your face quickly."
What a fatal sentence!
I saw Sun Yanyan holding her face in fear for a moment, and then limping down the mountain and into the yard.
Song Tan watched from behind and asked Song Dafang, who had a dark face on the side: "Uncle, I think my sister-in-law is fine, she is so energetic."
What can the uncle say?
He just felt embarrassed.
Because of this farce, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt ashamed during lunch. Fortunately, because the food tasted good enough, although their farce left traces in everyone's hearts, it did not affect their mood or appetite.
So the table full of potted vegetables was completely eaten.
Sun Yanyan and Mao Li worked hard, and each of them only had a leek box in their hands.
Last time, I didn't grab the extremely delicious milkvetch. Instead, I ate the lettuce in my mouth. The taste was indeed quite different from that of milkvetch.
Try this leek box again——
Well!
tasty!!!
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s eyes lit up.
After finally waiting for a group of people to finish their meal, Sun Yanyan wanted to ask where the leek field was, but she didn't expect that the invisible aunt had already picked up the basket and said to Wang Lifen:
"Mom, I'll get more of your lettuce, and I'll also take away some of your garlic sprouts."
Hey guys, is this a competitor?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not dare to delay, so they quickly picked up the basket and followed behind without saying a word.
Uncle Song simply didn't notice - you just put away the vegetables when you go to do it. Why do you have to carry such a big plastic basket? It's not enough to take advantage of it, for fear that people won't forget it.
Just go back to the city.
But when I think about the taste of the lunch meal, plus the shame I've already lost - come on, let's break the jar.
He thought numbly.
Besides, because they came back specially, they had an early meal at noon, and it was only twelve o'clock now.
If you want to go back in a hurry at this time, it would be like clocking in to do a task, which would be outrageous.
While I was thinking about it, I heard a burst of laughter coming from the door.
Everyone stopped and saw four women of about the same age walking towards them. Each of them was carrying a bamboo basket.
Seeing so many people at Song Tan's door, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses:
"Oh, Wu Lan, why are you afraid that we will eat the food at home? We just came back and you have already finished eating."
Wang Lifen, who was washing the basin in front of the sink, thought to herself:
Can't you have breakfast?
Eat early and leave early, so as not to delay her from starting work and earning money. She was delayed for half a day today, but she can still go to Chashan to fight for fifty yuan in the afternoon.
Wu Lan also quickly came out with a smile:
"That's right. If I offer you such a high price and include meals, then I will be working for you this season."
"What's the high price? What's the high price?"
One of them was unhappy: "In previous years, we hired tea pickers to come here and it cost two to three hundred a day. They calculated it by catty, so the more you work, the more you get. You calculate it by day, and we will pick four or five catties for you every day."
, be content.”
Wu Lan also laughed: "In previous years, tea was expensive and the tea pickers were from other places. Are you?"
"My tea leaves are growing so well. In the past years, you didn't pick so many tea leaves for your own family, right?"
"Besides, it costs two to three hundred a day, so why should I not think of paying you a salary? I can do it myself."
They all chatted and communicated together in the past, and now they talk very casually.
Ulan, who was familiar with the matter, took out a steelyard and poured the fresh bud tips into the plastic bag one by one. After hanging the hook and placing the weight, he gave the weight very efficiently: "Two catties and seven taels."
The next one is hung again, and it is also two pounds and seven taels.
Everyone laughed: "Ulan, I think we might have been long-term workers for your family in our previous life. We worked so hard to pick tea for you on a daily basis."
Wu Lan also laughed: "If you were my parent, I would drive you out to work when the rooster crows!"
Everyone was laughing and laughing. Uncle Song watched them with a cold eye and left after accounting, and then asked: "Is your family still picking tea leaves this year?"
Wulan's smile did not change: "Yes, it's not Tantan yet. When this kid comes back, he'll make trouble for us old guys. We have to pack chestnuts, pick tea leaves, and plant rice."
"It must be said that things outside are not good..."
Uncle Song wanted to ask: He picked tea leaves at home, but why did he still drink last year’s old tea at noon?
But because of the matter between Mao Li and Sun Yanyan, he had no time to speak.
On the other hand, Mao Li was holding a basket at the door. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "Oh, young people are still energetic. Our local tea is not valuable. Do you earn enough to hire workers?"
Wulan laughed: "It's okay. This tea tastes good and the tea is more expensive than in previous years. I can make some money."
Then he quickly counterattacked: "Sister-in-law, I think your tea mountain is growing well this year. Why don't you ask a few people to help pick tea leaves for a day, and I can bring them here to roast them for you?"
It stands to reason that their family has picked tea leaves, and regardless of the quality, it is not a problem to give a pound and a half to relatives and friends.
But first of all, tea is too expensive this year.
Secondly, Wulan didn't like the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
What's more, Uncle Song's family has almost fifty acres of land and mountains, which is twice as much as his own. Why should he give it to him if he has left it alone?
snort!
How else to say that money is the courage of man?
In the past, Wulan felt that Qiaoqiao was like this, and she had to have a relationship with her brother and sister. She had to swallow the pain in her stomach when she said something that hurt her.
Sometimes I understand in my heart, but I still hold on to a glimmer of hope.
now……
She looked coldly at the attitudes of Mao Li and Sun Yanyan after her family made money, and then looked at Uncle Song who looked like a good person who didn't care about anything, but she understood in her heart:
It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself.
