Capítulo 1626: Chapter 1483: Each with Their Own Plans
Holding the wish to expedite her promotion, Yun Duo followed Song Tan closely, listening, watching, doing more and speaking less, her days filled with vigor.
And only now did Yunyun realize that she had actually co to work at Lao Song’s place, her heart filled with sheer joy, unable to resist coming over to find her:
“Why didn’t you tell
about such an important thing!”
Yun Duo wasn’t going to say!
Her sister was much more precise in handling social matters than she was, and if she ntioned it, her sister might co to Lao Song’s family and say sothing about taking care of her, putting them in an awkward position if they didn’t hire her.
However…
“Are you livestreaming again?”
“Nope!”
Yunyun indeed understood social norms well: “Their Qiaoqiao usually livestreams up in the mountain fields; I absolutely can’t film these places, otherwise it’d look like I’m riding on soone else’s popularity. It’s really inappropriate.”
She just got into the habit of taking photos and chatting with her phone, and now wherever she goes, she’s always holding a small phone stand.
Yun Duo couldn’t help but sigh seeing her like this.
Her sister was living quite comfortably now—her husband was older and often worked outside to earn money, not leaving a penny of personal stash, giving it all to her. She had nothing to do but tidy up the house or play cards, living like the “rural young ladies” talked about online these days.
Since Song Tan’s family started hiring, there were fewer people playing cards in the village, so she rode to the next village instead, gambling up to 200 yuan in losses during an afternoon of play—each ti she lost to this amount, Yunyun wouldn’t play for several days afterwards.
She had a good sense of limits.
Yunyun knew that her sister had been working diligently from the mont she could walk, continuing until she “married herself off”; it was natural she wanted to enjoy so comfort now.
But still…
“Sis, you’re still young, haven’t you thought of doing sothing more?”
She encouraged, “Didn’t you want to bring little sister out too? Relying solely on brother-in-law’s salary isn’t right in the long run. I’m kind of doing it tough alone; if you’re willing to do sothing, we can save money together.”
Yunyun casually glanced at her phone: “Earn money? Why not? Song Tan’s family sold vegetable seedlings to us at the start of the year, and I made a few thousand from it.”
Her card-playing luck was pretty good too, bringing in several hundred monthly, and aside from community gifts, there were no other expenditures in the village; she just bought so clothes from online stores, and felt quite satisfied.
But when Yun Duo asked…
She gauged her sister, reminding her now: “You have little work experience and haven’t formally worked in a place before, don’t assu that just because it seems easy money at ho, you can easily do the sa. From my experience, nine out of ten who think they can, often can’t.”
“If you’re going to work, just focus on it for a couple of years, observe and learn. This way, regardless of whether it’s gaining work experience, or you wanting to do sothing yourself, you’d have savings and wouldn’t panic when things happen.”
Yun Duo chuckled helplessly: “Of course I want to work hard.”
Her grades were average, college was average, she had a little entrepreneurial sense but not much. Big companies wouldn’t take her, and small companies might leave her with nothing after a couple of years—not to ntion, when she saw this recruitnt in the software, it was like being jolted awake on the brink of despair, furiously crafting her resu in W and Word!
Truly a heaven-sent position!
She was just afraid her sister would lose her spark over ti like this. Despite her constant phone-filming and streaming, she really had no direction, and without any the, her current followers couldn’t even translate into monetized traffic.
So she sincerely proposed at the mont: “I’ve been following Boss Song around these days, sotis listening to her talking, and it feels like she’s always considering the village’s future. I’m just thinking, maybe I’ll find a chance to ask if there are any good low-cost entrepreneurial thods. If you can do sothing, even doing it from ho, you could potentially earn more.”
Leaning on others is unreliable, having one’s own inco is always beneficial. If it gets tough, she has ample free ti after work and can help too.
Yunyun understood this principle as well?
It’s just…
She sighed: “Then go ahead and ask; I wanted to ask during New Year as well, but didn’t have the nerve—usually, people won’t easily give you this kind of advice, and if it works well, they won’t be grateful or anything. If it fails, you might even get scolded at your doorstep.”
“If your Boss Song is willing to share, listen attentively. If she doesn’t ntion it, you shouldn’t feel uneasy about it.”
The sisters muttered and agreed to have dinner at ho that night, then parted happily.
…
anwhile, Song Tan had already gone ho to try out the jade on her hand.
To be precise, there were also the round, plump stones found by the riverside beach, the large amber from Song Sancheng’s childhood, and finally the jade on her hand.
The stones’ capacity wasn’t great, really fragile.
The amber was decent, but despite its large absorption capacity, it only compared to Song Tan’s small longevity peach.
Then there’s the jade bracelet—but that was prized for its harmonious color and water. Actually, the sa size wasn’t much different from the peach.
Finally, there was the rice bead necklace.
In the world of pearls and jade, bigger ones tend to be more valuable when qualities are equal. Her rice bead necklace had over a hundred beads, each only 4mm in diater, yet its quality was exceptionally good due to the fine granules.
Song Tan picked two beads and tried them out; even a small bead could exceed the capacity of the longevity peach many tis over. After the spiritual energy flowed in continuously, it seed like a pool of flowing water wrapped inside, breathtakingly beautiful.
Fortunately, only two beads exhibited this appearance, so it didn’t stand out too much.
In other words, the better the quality, the more carrying capacity.
But she wasn’t too knowledgeable about this, so she decided to seek out Lun Chuan: “Can I dismantle this necklace?”
Lun Chuan was slightly confused: “Of course you can—it’s your possession and just an ornant, you can buy another if you like.”
He pondered, then asked: “Do you find the length unsuitable and want to restring it yourself?”
Song Tan: “…Yes.”
“But then I thought it might be too wasteful, why don’t you recomnd
the sellers you know so I can buy so scatter beads later?”
Lun Chuan chuckled: “I can recomnd them, but if you have the need, just dismantle this one. For this level of quality, the price difference between buying scatter beads and a finished product is negligible—they’re already at jewelry-grade, and sellers won’t let you gain an advantage.”
Song Tan understood, so she abandoned that notion.
But she still nodded, then looked at Lun Chuan, her eyes curving pleasantly and expressed her genuine happiness: “The gift you gave is exceptionally good! It’s gorgeous and I can use it, it’s splendid!”
Using “especially” thrice might seem trivial to others, but for Lun Chuan, it’s rare to hear Song Tan directly expressing admiration for a gift, thus a feeling of satisfaction and pride surged, even prompting him to reach for his phone—
He heard many girls enjoy DIYing their own jewelry, should he purchase more materials for his girlfriend to mix and match? Gold? Diamonds? Or other cultural beads?
