Capítulo 1666: Chapter 1523: Mom Is Getting Old
Children, no matter how much you earn a month or what kind of Maserati you drive, you’ve still got to go back ho to harvest corn.
Take Song Tan, for example. No matter how much of a fairy she looks like, she still has to drive a beat-up pickup to her grandpa’s place to transport baskets today.
Assistant Yun Duo eagerly volunteered to try driving the newly bought car, but Song Tan refused: “Go busy yourself, the baskets take up space, only a pickup will do.”
Yun Duo’s skills are just proficient on asphalt roads, letting her go haul cargo would definitely not work.
Yun Duo has been working for quite a few days and has co to understand Song Tan’s temper. At this mont, she didn’t engage in idle politeness and instead laughed, “I thought the dical exam departnt would be empty during the May Day holiday and was thinking of making an appointnt. Good thing I didn’t.”
Otherwise, if a bunch of people up and left, who would care for the tourists?
Then Song Tan rembered the important matter: “Talk with Gao Xinzhi about coming up with a detailed daily wage list because spring planting of soybeans, green beans, sesa, and so on is about to start, not to ntion corn and peanuts…”
These are all spring crops. To keep the dining table going, both spring and autumn sowing are necessary.
This is for planting, and then there’s harvesting—
“In about half a month, the wheat will be ready for harvest — following that is Lin Grass, which should be ready around June… In July and August, so autumn sowing will start, and so fruits will ripen…”
The ease and leisure of the first half of the year will gradually disappear, replaced by large-scale employnt needs.
This year is better than last year, as Yang Zhengxi’s father sent over many small mountain and hill terrain-specific farm machines, and so especially arduous farm work can now be done with machinery.
However, before that, the workers need to get familiar with these machines.
And given this year’s scale, relying solely on the villagers definitely won’t cut it. The value of their fruits and vegetables is high, and it’s not suitable to hire tourists for semi-entertainnt purposes.
Particularly, the work during the scorching sumr requires heavy physical labor, which can’t be done by livestream viewers.
In any case!
Song Tan once again urged, “You two discuss and set the wages. I’ll take a look at it, and if there are no issues, we can start recruiting workers nearby in advance. Otherwise, many people will go out to work again after the Dragon Boat Festival.”
“?” Yun Duo pointed to herself in disbelief.
Neither she nor Gao Xinzhi has had any significant contact with migrant workers, so having them discuss the recruitnt wages is indeed a big challenge.
However, Yun Duo gritted her teeth and nodded, “We can do it! We just need so ti to understand it better. Can we have the form ready by next week?”
Song Tan stopped for a mont, looking at the girl who was moving swiftly beside her, the one with a pose stubbornly similar to Yunyun, and smiled in satisfaction: “Okay, one week later.”
Song Tan quickly drove away, while Yun Duo frowned, suddenly stomping her foot on the main road: “Ha!”
Her foot tingled with numbness, but the entanglent in her heart went out with that loud shout. She hopped a couple of tis and quickly went up the mountain to find Gao Xinzhi.
Nothing else to say, but hurry up and inquire about what the neighboring villages have been paying people for work over the years!
anwhile, at the small village square, several cars had already driven over early in the morning. Familiar Chen Yunyun was getting out of the car and video chatting with Grandma Chen, who was anxiously hopping at ho: “Why can’t I go! Why can’t I go! I’m at the age where I’m still full of energy…”
Chen Yunyun ignored it completely!
She talked herself hoarse along the way! The old lady doesn’t have any mory – just yesterday she took a bite of waterlon and directly took the bowl with her to her room!
At first, the family didn’t notice – after all, they were tired from a whole day’s work. They rested and took showers and didn’t notice what Grandma was up to.
But when it was ti to eat, Grandma said she was tired and wanted to sleep?
Such delicious fresh vegetables and handpicked wild herbs, and she wasn’t eating?
Mr. Chen even had red eyes, lanting at the dining table that his mother was getting old, her appetite and energy weren’t what they used to be…
Oh… Mom…
Thinking of it that way, they decided to let it go, treating her like an old child who wouldn’t be strictly controlled when it ca to food in the future.
Until they were about to cut the waterlon for Grandma.
Chen Yunyun looked — where’s the waterlon!
Thinking about Grandma’s past cri of sneaking waterlons in the middle of the night, she pushed the locked door, and now she understood everything?!
After finally opening the door, the old lady guiltily looked at them and said, “I thought I’d eat half, leaving the rest for you…but I couldn’t save it.”
The old lady felt wronged. She genuinely wanted to save so! But after one bite, it was like the soul-stirring white moonlight that had haunted her all year appeared before her, and she couldn’t think of anything else except taking another bite.
The room was still filled with a light yet intoxicating waterlon fragrance!
But Chen Yuanyuan’s family couldn’t care less about that at this mont, urgently and angrily exclaiming, “You ate the whole thing?!”
The waterlon wasn’t big, but even so it weighed about 4 pounds. For soone of her age to eat it all at once was concerning for digestion!
Not to ntion, the sugar content in waterlon isn’t high, but it can still be too much when you eat a lot!
After all the hassle, no matter how spiritually energetic the lon is, it can’t offset its inherently cold nature, and the old lady ended up with diarrhea twice that night.
At her age, this was no small matter.
The whole family was worried, and no one paid attention to the old lady murmuring about the great taste of the lon.
Today, despite Chen Yunyun planning to shoot more videos to boost her popularity and traffic, her dad blocked the old lady, insisting that she had to learn a lesson—
She couldn’t go!
Just can’t go!
But regardless of how anxious Grandma got hopping at ho, seeing familiar faces left Secretary Xiaozu in high spirits, thinking how the waterlon sent yesterday was really worth it!
She hurriedly took two steps forward: “Yunyun!”
Then she spoke in a lowered voice, “I watched the video you shot! I really appreciate it… Was the waterlon tasty yesterday?”
Chen Yunyun: “…Tasty.”
Secretary Xiaozu looked at her suspiciously, thinking how she probably hadn’t eaten it yet! Otherwise, there’s no way she’d be this calm.
But it’s alright, she’ll taste it sooner or later.
She quickly got to the point: “You fild Da Wang on that road yesterday, and today there’s a surprise!”
“That dog—Da Wang is still patrolling?!”
Chen Yunyun was delighted! Because among yesterday’s three videos, the one with Da Wang was the most popular! Many people doubted it was real and thought it was artificially synthesized, insisting such a dog couldn’t exist!
She ca today precisely to film it again! And to give a further boost to her popularity!
Her collaboration with Yunqiao Village this ti felt like a match made in heaven!
Secretary Xiaozu shook her head: “No, Da Wang changed its route today, but I don’t know its patrol ti. I was talking about another surprise.”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang.
Secretary Xiaozu looked at it, and it was from Chen Xi—
[Yingjun and Cang Er are responsible for escorting Big Pearl’s family today. Princess is visibly pregnant, and though she wanted to go, I stopped her.]
