Chapter 1175: The Preciousness of Handmade

~14 min read 2,643 words

Yun Duo hadn't thought about this question either, so she answered seriously: "Any place with a house, a few tens of thousands of yuan is fine, have a job, and have a skill."

People from the mountains are exceptionally pragmatic; without a clear goal, she wouldn't have argued with her own sister for so long.

Song Tan nodded: "The requirements are quite simple, then you might as well drop out of school and work here. As long as you do all kinds of work, you might be able to get eight thousand a month for working twelve or thirteen hours a day!"

Yun Duo hadn't had time to be suspicious before she was attracted by the eight thousand salary: "Is it really eight thousand?"

Lu Chuan watched Song Tan bluffing on the side and couldn't help but look at Yun Duo again—

This is the disadvantage of not studying enough, right?

It was just that the topic turned, and her train of thought was led away.

He habitually filled in Yun Duo's persona in his heart—

Struggling hard in the mountains to have a chance to go to college: a bit of talent, but definitely no channels to contact knowledge in the early stage, lacking foundation.

Tan Tan led people away from another angle: smart, but vision is poor, and she is very confident in herself, only believing in her own thinking.

He hooked his lips silently, then picked a few chestnuts to peel slowly and soak in water.

And here, Song Tan was still bluffing:

"It depends on the work intensity."

"If you cut rice and dig the ground for me, you can definitely make over ten thousand a month. If you don't want to cut and go deliver food, you can make about the same if you're diligent."

Yun Duo:...

"I want to earn money, but I don't have to earn it so desperately." She was speechless, feeling that Song Tan's suggestions were all impractical.

"Then go be a waiter, a cashier, a salesperson. The salary is lower, but it's not that tiring."

Yun Duo choked a bit: "Can't I do business myself?"

"Go ahead!" Song Tan was even more casual: "What if you can earn money? Don't be afraid if you lose, then go be a cashier or waiter again to earn the fund for the second venture."

"No!" Yun Duo couldn't accept it: "Do I have to do these jobs?"

"Then what else?" Song Tan asked as a matter of course: "Now better companies require a bachelor's degree for front desk. You dropped out of college, so you can't do front desk either, right?"

"Better to be down-to-earth and come back to plant rice for me."

"This way you can earn ten thousand a month, and when others ask, this is Chen Yunyun's sister, the sisters are so close together."

"It's glorious to say it out loud, look! Her own sister ran thousands of miles from the mountains to another mountain village, just to plant rice with her."

"Who wouldn't praise the sisterly love when they hear it?"

"Your brother-in-law is pretty good, let your sister introduce you to someone like him..."

Yun Duo couldn't listen anymore.

At this moment, her heart was numb and messy, imagining her sister introducing her to others and being unable to lift her head, and then imagining the villagers scolding them for being stupid behind their backs...

And that biological father who was locked in memory, who clearly had no culture but still scolded them for having no future.

Yun Duo's hair stood on end subconsciously, unable to accept such reality at all.

"Then I can't come to your house, I can't do farm work or cut rice. I can't deliver food either. Even if I want to earn money, it's not this desperate way."

She knew exactly how much she weighed, she had no strength, she could do farm work, but she really wasn't sure if she could do these things that even men found tiring.

When this was said, Song Tan was even more puzzled:

"You aren't doing it to earn money desperately, then what are you in such a hurry to not study for?"

"Earning money three or four years earlier than your classmates? Does saying it out loud make you feel superior?"

Chen Yunyun couldn't speak.

That is, why?

Her sister seemed to have said these questions before, just that the method of description was different, but she didn't listen to a word of it.

But now, thinking about it along this line of thought herself, it actually turned out to be like this!

Without a college degree, the jobs she might want to try in the future would directly shut her out.

Actually, Song Tan didn't really want to persuade such people.

It's just that if Yun Duo hadn't gotten into college, it would be fine, but she was already a freshman, yet her mind still had these thoughts, which was simply outrageous.

And if she couldn't figure it out herself, she would keep hesitating and wandering between 【learning nothing in school】 and 【if I went to work earlier】.

Time and energy wasted, even if she finished college, she would achieve nothing and gain nothing.

Song Tan reached out to take the chestnut soaked in hot water and wiped dry with a paper towel, biting down hard.

Feeling the unique texture of the tough surface and the slightly hard inside, the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became, so she left Yun Duo aside and turned out of the room.

After a long time, she brought out a bowl: "There isn't much ginger planted this year, I only fished out these few from the jar. Try it!"

A group of college students present, no one persuaded their own affairs anymore. Yun Duo sat there blankly, only feeling empty in her heart.

After a while, she saw the sofa beside her heave, and someone sat down.

The other party was a man whose skin wasn't very fair, but looked very lean. It seemed he was also Song Tan's cousin? Called Wu Lei Ge?

And the other party looked at her and suddenly smiled, instantly revealing his silly and honest traits: "You really don't want to go to college?"

Chen Yunyun hesitated: "I..." I haven't thought it through yet.

Who knew Wu Lei Ge would slap his thigh: "Not going is good! Let me tell you, I also went to school for a few years, but in the end, wasn't I dumped by my girlfriend?"

"Someone like you, looking like your brain isn't very good, just like me, only knowing how to bury your head in work, sooner or later you'll be dumped by your boyfriend too."

He chattered on, the words making Yun Duo's blank thoughts vanish, instead having ten thousand sentences she wanted to refute.

"You..."

Who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Wu Lei Ge ask: "Then do you want to stay at Tan Tan's place to work? I'm going home to herd cows this year. There's only Uncle Zhang in the cattle farm, which is quite difficult."

Wu Lei Ge was asking sincerely.

He had always felt that his work on the cattle farm was irreplaceable. Once he left, Tan Tan wouldn't be able to find anyone to replace him.

Now everyone is family, so he had to think of a way to find someone to replace his work, right? That work actually wasn't tiring after doing it for a long time, just right for young people.

So his expression became more sincere: "Let me tell you, my work is very easy, food and accommodation are included, and all the money is saved."

"Aren't you trying to earn money? You have to be able to save it after earning it. Working here is really cost-effective."

"If it weren't for seeing that you're still young, this opportunity wouldn't necessarily fall to you."

"Just shovel cow dung every day, you don't need a degree for this, just do it directly."

——Good, good, good!

His sincere words almost made Yun Duo laugh with anger.

What? Just because she didn't go to college, now even the job of shoveling cow dung had to be given to her like a treasure?

No wonder you look like you've achieved nothing at such an old age, you must not have studied hard in college, just focused on dating... Bah!

Her sharp eyebrows flew up, her expression full of disdain. At this moment, she stood up directly and bowed to everyone very politely:

"Thank you all. Today really woke me up. I will definitely study hard! Learn what I should learn, get the certificates I should get. In the future, I will choose the work, not the work choosing me."

She was full of passion, and at this moment, ignoring Wu Lan's retention, she rushed out the door directly.

The Song family was stunned: Ah? It hadn't even started to be persuaded seriously, why did she leave?

After a while, she saw Yun Duo return, and then picked up the plastic bags in the basket one by one:

"Forgot to tell you—Auntie, this is yellow elm mushroom, this is termite mushroom, this is hazel mushroom... this is bamboo fungus..."

After she finished saying how to eat these, Wu Lan was able to interject:

"That... Yun Duo, why don't you chat a bit more? Is that it?"

"Finished chatting." Yun Duo stood up and looked at Wu Lan seriously: "Auntie, thank you all, I will definitely make my sister proud."

Song Tan, who was discussing the pickled ginger taste with Lu Chuan, was also stunned, and couldn't help but ponder again:

"I just said a few words casually, and she woke up."

Then this is too easy to wake up, right?

As soon as the words fell, she saw Wu Lei Ge shaking his head properly:

"Really like a donkey, pulling doesn't move, hitting moves backward... Persuaded you well but you don't listen, introduced you to a job, but you insist on going to college..."

"Hey!" He sighed distressedly, then turned to ask Song Tan:

"I'm leaving in the spring, who will do the work of picking cow dung to ferment manure?"

Oh my! Her Wu Lei Ge Ge still has this sense of responsibility, really amazing.

Song Tan looked at him with a smile:

"When spring comes, the cattle and sheep will be free-range, there isn't much work usually, Uncle Zhang will be responsible for picking these."

"As for fermentation... don't you know there are machines? It's just that Wu Lei Ge Ge, you were doing it with such energy before, so I haven't had anyone send the equipment over yet."

This kind of truth was simply too devastating.

Wu Lei Ge stood there for a long time, and finally only said bitterly:

"Everything has to be industrialized! Let me tell you, now only handmade things are sought after."

And after he went out, Wu Ling asked blankly from the side:

"What are you angry about? Does stirring cow dung distinguish between handmade and machine? You wouldn't really like this job, would you?!!"

Song Tan also looked serious: "Ling Ling, don't mock your brother! He is clearly loving his job."

Wu Lan stared at a large basket of dried mushrooms and couldn't help but exclaim: "Good stuff!"

"Can this sell for a lot of money? This Chen Yunyun, why bring so many things as relatives? Too polite."

"It's okay." Song Tan could understand: "She values this sister, as long as Yun Duo can go to school. Even ten more baskets wouldn't hurt."

But Wu Lan worried: "I don't want it because we rarely eat these mountain treasures here, I don't know how to make them."

And Lu Chuan walked over and looked: "Leave it for now. I'll make it when I have time in the next two days."

"Cream mushroom soup, salt and pepper mushroom cubes, and green and red pepper mushroom sauce for rice—Tan Tan, do you like eating it?"

Song Tan nodded: "Love, love, love!"

Anyway, I haven't eaten it, let's try it!

Wu Ling gasped, turned her head and found her mother staring at her, she couldn't help but feel a burst of tears in her heart:

Understood, other people's boyfriend is called Lu Chuan.

Her own boyfriend is called having a criminal record—everyone can pick him up and compare him repeatedly, right?

But the pearl is in front. What kind of partner can she find in the future to not be compared like this?

Just talking, Zhang Zhang Yanping brought Guo Dong over.

At this moment, the two were one tall and strong, one slender, one fierce, one smiling softly, the contrast was so strong! It was the kind that made people imagine a million-word story at first sight.

Especially since Guo Yi maintained herself well, looking even younger than Wu Ling!

The entanglement of love and hate between the black-hearted boss and his fair and gentle college student girlfriend...

Everyone watched, and their expressions became more and more strange.

The Song family, who were already used to Zhang Zhang Yanping, performed like this, and Guo Dong became more confident about the upcoming trip back to his hometown.

At this moment, she smiled joyfully: "Auntie, Auntie... Happy New Year!"

She also carried a bag, taking out small boxes one by one: "The camellia bloomed well this year, this is a skincare cream made from camellia essential oil I extracted, the effect is quite good."

"If Aunties don't mind, you can take it back to wipe your hands or face."

Oh my!

Skincare products! Who would dislike this?

There wasn't a single exquisite beauty like Lu Jing present, daily skincare without using baby cream was the greatest respect for one's face.

Now Guo Yi was famous, the effect of the hand cream was known to everyone, such a large box for free...

Not to mention others, the eldest aunt's smile was about to reach the corners of her mouth.

"Good, good, good! Good! Zhang Zhang Yanping really has an eye... Oh my, Guo Yi, you really are..."

She happily unscrewed the lid and looked at it again and again, finally smiling and sighing: "Really too polite!"

The second aunt was also overjoyed; after all, such a thoughtful girl was her future daughter-in-law! At this moment, she immediately wanted to organize washing her face and applying it, giving full emotional value!

Guo Dong was originally a bit nervous, but seeing her like this, she relaxed unconsciously.

And Zhang Zhang Yanping on the side became proud: "How is it? Said my mom wouldn't dislike it, right? She doesn't do skincare at all—Hey, otherwise talk to Tan Tan about a cooperation, you wrap up the camellia and sell skincare products!"

Guo Dong:...

"You really have money on the brain. Don't worry, I earn plenty from selling pills. Just help Song Tan plant the Cherokee roses well; planting a bit more will be fine."

"Besides, selling medicine isn't enough to keep me busy... Doesn't Song Tan have the procedures for the makeup brand? It's too troublesome for me to run it myself..."

She was gentle as water on the surface, but exceptionally confident when talking about her medicine.

Zhang Zhang Yanping recalled the things sold through his hands and couldn't help but be speechless.

And the next moment, he saw Guo Dong pulling Song Tan again: "Do you want the formula for this skincare cream? If you want it, give me twenty jin of dried wild chrysanthemums next year. I heard you're going to plant mugwort and chrysanthemums."

"Sure!" Song Tan was also straightforward: "The hand cream you made this year was taken by Boss Chang as a New Year gift, he already has feedback, and he probably wants the skincare cream too." ===== CHAPTER 1176 =====
