Chapter 1231: Secretary's Complaint
There is one more stranger in the village, and the old Song family finally has one more new employee, but...
That's nothing rare.
Heavy rain falls day after day, the water in the river and pond has risen, and the tender grass in the pasture is greener day by day.
And the villagers are worried about the planning of their own vegetable plots, and Secretary Zhu finds them for meetings three times a day... busy!
Everyone is busy!
There is no time to worry about strangers at all.
The only one with a little care is Secretary Zhu: "How is the new employee? I heard she has a child."
"Very good." This was said by Aunt Lianhua:
"She lives in my mother-in-law's old house. When it rains, she stays at home to accompany the child and tidy up the house. When it doesn't rain, she holds the child and walks to the back mountain to get familiar with the environment... She looks like a diligent person, but she is not good at speaking, so she looks honest."
"The child is also quite obedient, rarely crying, but she looks weak... But this is normal, you see the mother's body hasn't been nourished well, so the nutrition for feeding the child is definitely not enough."
"My mother-in-law said that she should be persuaded to buy some milk powder for the child after earning some money, otherwise if the immunity is poor and she gets sick, seeing a doctor is more expensive than milk powder."
Don't say, since she can earn money herself, Aunt Lianhua's mother-in-law has become more confident and insightful when speaking.
Now everyone thinks about what she said—it's really the truth!
Song Tan also added: "She is really hardworking and honest. It rained so heavily last night. Originally, I told her to rest for two days before starting work, but she took the raincoat and boots and entered the vegetable field."
The child was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, which didn't delay her work.
She tied a small stool to her waist under the raincoat, entered the vegetable field, found the position, and sat down, and her hands never stopped.
"When it comes to tidying up vegetables, she is more efficient than Chen Yuan and the others. I heard that she often set up stalls to sell vegetables in Mingcheng before, so I guess she is experienced."
Secretary Zhu was also happy: "As long as she is a diligent person, we won't lack work to earn money this year. As long as she can, she will definitely earn a lot."
And Song Tan looked at Secretary Zhu: "Why do I feel like you've lost weight again? What's wrong? Haven't you explained the vegetable planting matter clearly?"
Secretary Zhu's face wrinkled into a ball: "Work is not easy to do!"
But fortunately.
Originally, rural work was not easy to promote. She has been in the village for a year now, and with the vegetable seedlings of the old Song family supporting her, although everyone has doubts about centralized vegetable planting, considering that it is just changing the original home-cooked vegetable seedlings, it doesn't affect anything, so most of the work was done.
Secretary Zhu sighed: "Actually, thanks to the rise of short videos, now everyone in the village loves to brush videos, and they can get in touch with news they haven't touched before."
"I said the crew is coming, I guess many people's food and drink have to be bought from the village, and many of them understand."
The disagreement lies in whether your family plants tomatoes, or my family plants eggplants, or his family plants peppers...
After all, everyone is not sure what kind of vegetables others will buy. What if they buy more peppers than tomatoes?
Isn't that earning more for other families?
They argued about this for a long time, almost returning to the state of you planting yours, I planting mine.
But if it were really like that—decentralized procurement from one family to another, it would be better for their crew to specifically make an appointment with the vegetable vendors in the town to deliver vegetables on time!
But fortunately, now everyone basically understands, and the contracts for the wasteland have all been signed—
"Tsk, I was guarding against them sitting on the ground and raising prices, and it really happened!"
"Fortunately, I didn't mention it to the crew first, and I took the attitude of letting them sign or not, if they don't sign, don't earn this money, and don't look for them next time if there is a chance..."
Actually, this is also risky.
Many people in the village have hard and stubborn tempers, and the money for renting land is not much. If it were really said urgently, maybe people would rather leave it alone and not earn this money.
But Secretary Zhu has figured out their personalities and aimed at the target, so don't look at it as just a simple work of taking scenery of wild grass, she also spent a lot of effort behind her back.
At this moment, Secretary Zhu became proud:
"Some people are naturally timid and dare not take risks. I can understand all these. But some people clearly know there are other ways, but they have to hold their breath and not do it, and affect others..."
"After the first batch of vegetable seedlings from your family is sold this year, I have to see which people can't hold on and bow their heads first..."
"I cooperated when I carried out the work, and complained, and now that they have something to ask me, I have to be willing to work hard..."
More than a year of rural life is also a considerable tempering for her temperament. Secretary Zhu sneered:
"I must let them know what it tastes like to have the God of Wealth at the door but be driven away by their bad temper."
However, this kind of resentment and complaint only dared to be said in the old Song family. When she went out, she was still that willing ox and horse...
Secretary Zhu sighed.
And these words, Song Tan agreed too much!
When registering to plant her vegetable seedlings before the New Year, people were still muttering and grinding.
The contract is there. As long as you sign, the acquisition will be no problem at all—is it that she is begging everyone to plant?
Although everyone signed and agreed to help work in exchange for the qualification to buy vegetable seedlings, there were still many people who had opinions in their hearts.
Tian Tian complained countless times behind her back—she is willing to work for free in the old Song family for a year, as long as Song Tan agrees to let her buy vegetable seedlings with all her savings...
Of course, it didn't happen.
But people in the village muttered behind their backs, and Wu Lan was also angry. She made up her mind:
Don't sell more vegetable seedlings in the future!
Otherwise, raising rice to be kind and raising rice to be an enemy, what are they planning?
And in the mountain canteen, Liu Liu gave her daughter a piece of soft white radish, watching her slowly hold it, and felt very happy in her heart.
One dish tonight is white radish
"Can she eat that at her age?"
Liu Ning frowned as she watched from the side.
"She can." Liu Liu laughed instead: "I'm raising the child alone and can't keep an eye on her all the time. Ranran is raised roughly; she's had all sorts of things stuffed in her mouth... Besides, that bit of radish isn't even as big as a fingernail; she'll be fine."
After saying this, she couldn't help but gulp down a bowl of soup, then said to Liu Ning: "Thank you for finding me such a good job."
Working in the rain is indeed a bit troublesome, but for Liu Liu, who is used to collecting vegetables in the middle of the night in the rain and pedaling a tricycle, it's not a problem at all.
Moreover, because it takes a long time to collect the vegetables and deliver them to the market, she didn't even dare to leave the child at home—but now it's different.
Working only those two hours at night, Ranran always sleeps soundly, so it doesn't interfere at all.
