Song Tan knows very well about contemporary young people:
"They still have to drive here from the city, so they can't leave too early with their children."
Ulan:……
She's stuck.
Then he asked: "Can't get there at seven or eight o'clock? What experience do they have in harvesting rice? Yesterday I said to hire someone, but they sent me a message at 5:00 in the morning saying they were going to the fields..."
It’s hot in summer, so farmers usually go to work in the fields at five o’clock and come back around nine or ten o’clock. In the afternoon, they don’t go to the fields until three or four o’clock.
When it’s the hottest time of summer vacation, I can’t wait to start at six o’clock!
So Ulan couldn't understand these people - she just wanted to bring her children to harvest rice.
At the same time, he complained: "You had to tell more than 30 people earlier, who else should we invite?"
Song Tan also laughed: "Mom, what are you thinking? With more than 30 people working all morning, it's a big deal if they can cut even a single piece of land - don't expect it."
"I invited them here just to let them eat, drink, have fun, and buy some things along the way."
Ulan:……
"As long as you know how to do business - don't be too stingy. Otherwise, what will your classmates say about you?"
"Know."
At this moment, Wu Lan also remembered something: "By the way, your aunt called last night and said that your cousin is coming to cut rice for us today - we can't count on his little effort.
Quan should be tempered."
Speaking of this, Wulan still sighed a little: "Tantan, your aunt was very good to us when you were a child. Qiaoqiao was still young at that time, and it was not easy for us. Your grandma and grandpa helped us in private, but she never said anything.
…”

Nowadays, many people believe that parents' money should be divided equally between children and children... But in the village, especially Ulan's generation, what matters is the water thrown away by the married daughter.
Daughters do not have to share the family property, but they do not need to provide for themselves in old age. Correspondingly, parents subsidize privately, which harms the interests of their sons and daughters-in-law.
My eldest aunt not only took the initiative to provide supplements, but also often borrowed money for turnover. She even let Leilei come to the house because of the harmony she brought with her. Not to mention working for a year, she just did nothing. Wulan
All are willing.
"Just for this, Leilei comes to work. If he doesn't do a good job, you can endure it for a year, just to temper his temper."
Wulan said this because he wanted to prepare Song Tan mentally in advance.
However, Song Tan laughed: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Brother Wu Lei came to help me. I couldn't ask for more. No matter what he said, he is still a young man. Nowadays, it is not easy to hire a strong laborer for two to three thousand yuan."
Zhang Yanping, on the other hand, was packing his chargers and toiletries, and was unhappy when he heard this:
"How come he only gets a salary of two to three thousand? How long did it take me to work with you before you gave me 2,500?"
It wasn’t there from the beginning. At first, this crazy person was only willing to give 1,500!
Song Tan laughed: "Brother Wu Lei wants to go to the fields to cut rice. It is a labor reform...You want to go too?"
Zhang Yanping suddenly ceased his activities——
Just for 500 yuan? I'm crazy.
…
So, early in the morning, Song Sancheng went up the mountain to get off his tricycle. Seeing that there wasn't much, he actually made three trips before moving all the cups, teapots, boilers, buckets and the like.
But everyone was relaxed, holding their laptops and tablets, holding various chargers in their hands, and it was time to move to a new home!
Because they had to move, they all had a sloppy breakfast. Everyone took their belongings and walked towards the new house in the gentle morning breeze.
Walking onto the main road, turning into a fork in the road, bypassing the bamboo forest... in front of you is an open space paved with cement.
It's full of construction waste, and you can't grow anything, so you might as well just make use of it.
On the other hand, there are hills on both sides, and trees, shrubs, and small flowers of various colors are crowded together. It doesn't feel empty at all. Instead, the leaves are rustling, making it look particularly prosperous.
Zhang Yanping was first satisfied: "It's so convenient to park here!"
"It's more than that!" Song Sancheng also said cheerfully: "Look, there is a big pool and faucet next to it. After washing it, the dried rice and vegetables are dried here... How good! You don't have to squeeze into the yard.
.”
Song Tan is also very satisfied - when the peaches are ripe, they can be sorted and packaged in front of the door!
Everyone had seen the new house being built with their own eyes, and everything looked good at this moment. Even the open space was stared at for a long time, and they studied the wild flowers on both sides, and then looked at the low courtyard wall.
The courtyard wall is not high. The popular courtyard walls in the village are one or two meters high. However, the courtyard wall of the new house in front of us is only over one meter high. Coupled with the decorative door of the same height, it is purely for aesthetic purposes.
Song Sancheng did not agree with this at first.
He felt that it would be more reliable to build it higher and insert more glass stubble and iron nails on top.
However, Zhao Fangyuan had different opinions after building too many villas like this, so he patiently persuaded:
"Uncle, what we are saying is that this courtyard wall protects gentlemen but not villains. Even if you build it more than three meters high, if he wants to come in, he can still carry the ladder over. On the contrary, if it is high, it will affect the view in the courtyard and turn the entire space into a
It has to be suppressed, it’s better to just build something short like this.”
Mainly to make it easier to check what is drying outside.
"If you want protection, plant your golden cherry blossoms in the ground. They are beautiful and have many thorns. You can also plant wolfberries and thornberries in the middle... They are beautiful, thorny and can be eaten. How wonderful!"
"What's more, don't you have two side buildings on both sides of your house? Why do you need such a high courtyard wall?"
"There are not many places with courtyard walls."
This is true.
Building a house in the village cannot be compared with a villa, especially the big kitchen of the seventh cousin. Can you cook food for twenty or thirty people in the main house?
Don't think about it, any range hood won't work.
It has to be in a separate place.
What's more, when the time comes to hire people to do work, people will come and go. Putting aside the safety aspect, there needs to be a spacious hall for eating, which happens to be connected to the kitchen.
On the other side, if there are more people, why don't we arrange two more toilets? There is also a lot of storage in the village, so an extra room has been opened to store things...
After calculation, there is really no place that needs a courtyard wall to protect it. It's just the few meters on both sides of the door, so just let your vision go.
Song Sancheng was convinced at that time.
Everyone unscrewed the door lock and walked into the yard. They saw that the yard was also flat and neat, and the flower beds were empty. It was too hot in June and July and there was no time to plant anything.
But the house is brand new.
Snow-white walls, dark gray roof, and floor-to-ceiling windows that remain transparent and bright but do not completely occupy the entire wall...
Zhang Yanping couldn't help but have deep envy in his eyes: "A house like this... tsk tsk tsk, how comfortable it must be to live here."
"Who says it isn't?"
The longing in Xin Jun's eyes was about to flow out - he decided to save money to build such a house when he returned to his hometown!
Only Qiao Qiao didn't think about anything. She just rushed up the steps happily and opened the door——
