It's different now. The popularity of their farmhouse has been built up. Now the customer flow is full, so there is no need to lose money and make a profit.
As for why you don’t take the exam for positions in this city...
Xin Jun smiled without fail:
"Mom, I just happened to catch up with the new school there, and there is a shortage of teachers. If it is a school in this city, the connections are so strong, we may not be able to get in?"
After a lot of deception, Xin's mother's current doubts were finally solved.
She thought of the wild vegetable porridge, honey water, etc. sent in the spring, and then thought about the tea leaves, peaches, etc. that were sent back from her son sporadically. At this moment, her heart was filled with anticipation.
Only then did Xin Jun have time to go to the backyard to find his dad.
His father has trouble with his legs and feet, and is currently sitting on the backyard corridor listening to a book with his eyes closed——
[Zhang Qiang laughed: "Today I will let you see my Nine-Transformation Dragon Art! You ignored me back then, but today I will make you unable to reach your heights——]
Xin Jun:......
He interrupted this magical line, pausing and shouting: "Dad."
Xin's father opened his eyes and saw his son, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "I thought it would take two hours for you to get home! Oh, this is a good job, I think I can support you!"
Apparently he also saw his current complexion.
On the other hand, he felt a little regretful: "Why is the new school so busy? It's almost August, and it's just summer vacation. Are you bullying you new recruits?"
It takes a thousand sentences to make up for a lie, Xin Jun really realized that.
I saw him smiling generously: "The examination papers for the students in the main school, as well as the arrangements for the next school year, have to be discussed slowly - but our canteen is free."
"That's pretty good." Xin's father didn't understand teachers. Then he thought that his son hadn't become a full-time official yet, so he should behave well. The holiday should be shorter for the future!
So I was relieved very quickly.
But then I remembered another thing: "Then you will start school on September 1st, right?"
Xin Jun's heart skipped a beat.
The painful past of working for my family and being exhausted without any wages suddenly came to mind.
He quickly said: "Normally, schools start on September 1st, but for us teachers, this is not necessarily the case. Maybe the school will ask us to come over in mid-August to prepare for the new school year..."
Since Song Tan said it was a month's leave, he could at least have twenty-seven or eight days, so he could only stay at home...
Looking at the few chili sauces, pickles and tea in the bag, Xin Jun sighed, already beginning to miss the last meal.
…
His son was tired from traveling all the way, and Xin's father felt very distressed. He quickly said, "It's nothing, just go and have a rest! It's so hot all the way back in this hot day!"
Xin Jun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to the bedroom behind the farmhouse to lie down.
I have to say that although I miss the food and environment at Song Tan’s house, going home is another kind of mental relaxation and comfort...
He closed his eyes, drifted off, and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already a little dark, and I looked at the time - 7:30 pm!
This was a long enough sleep!
Xin Jun tidied up a little and then walked out of the room.
Turning to the front yard, you can see that the whole farmhouse is brightly lit and bustling with people. Waiters and guests are walking back and forth in the corridor. It's a lively scene!
For some reason, his heart suddenly trembled.
And the next moment, this shiver turned into an obvious premonition——
I saw Xin's mother saw him in her busy schedule, and quickly said hello: "Xin Jun, don't be idle. It happens that the dishes in the kitchen are not even served in time. Go and help."
Xin Jun:...He knew it!!!
This wave of serving food lasted until after eight o'clock and finally stopped. Xin Jun was carrying the tray back and forth, feeling that his legs were about to become round.
At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of his mother: "My own business can't be so tiring...Mom, why don't you find more employees?"
"You think I don't want to!"
Xin's mother was also very sorry: "It's not so easy to recruit people now. Besides, there is only one and a half hours of peak serving time every day. At other times, we have more than enough manpower. If we recruit more people, wouldn't we all be free?"
"By the way, you young man has great energy. Remember to go to the vegetable market at four o'clock tomorrow morning to do some shopping! The pigs we raise in the vegetable garden and the chickens we feed need to eat a lot of grains every day..."
This farmhouse is remote, and the prices of these green storage crops used as feed are not high, and these are not provided by the partners.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Jun's brows were knitted together in pain.
Mother Xin coughed dryly and felt a little guilty that her son had just come back like this, but...
There is really no way!
This farmhouse is so remote that it’s hard to recruit workers!
I can only advise him: "Don't be unhappy. Doesn't this farmhouse belong to you from now on? Doesn't the money earned also belong to you? You are the only son we have."
Xin Jun:......
But my future master is now as tired as a dog, so he doesn’t want this property!
…
Let’s not mention the happiness of returning home. In short, because there were several tables of guests playing cards in the manor that night, Xin’s mother asked the employees to go back. She kept watch, and Xin Jun couldn’t bear it.
So... everyone in the family was asleep, and he just stayed up until twelve o'clock before he was liberated.
Now I went shopping early in the morning and came back to catch up on my sleep. At ten o'clock, I sat up with my whole body sore...
To be honest, he had been at Song Tan's house for several months. Even when he was so nervous about selling peaches, even he went to the mountains to help, and he never suffered like this!
If you ask them whether farmhouses make money - they must make money, and they make a lot of money!
But whose rich second generation is so miserable?
You might as well go work for someone else, at least you can get some money!
On the first day back home, Xin Jun couldn't help but run away with the bucket!
…
Coincidentally, fellow sufferer Zhang Yanping is also in dire straits——
Frankly speaking, he really didn't lose anything when he got home. His mother not only froze the watermelon popsicles, but also cooked the dried cowpeas that Song Tan had given him before. Anyway, he was allowed to eat anything good...
…
Of course, the aunt's family is willing to devote themselves to the child, but they are not doting on him in other aspects, otherwise Zhang Yanping would not be taken to the countryside by Song Tan.
Nowadays, the aunt gets up early and wishes she had all the food on hand, just to wake her son up:
"Yanping, Lao Wu from the wholesale market said that the training class his son attended last year was very good. He said that if he couldn't pass the public written test, he would get a refund - how about Mom enroll you in one?"
"You kid... How old are you? You don't have a stable job yet. How will you find a partner in the future? People start preparing for the exam after the Chinese New Year. You are not in a hurry yet..."
Balabala, Balabala.
Zhang Yanping: ...who understands this kind of pain? He doesn’t want to go at all!
