Chapter 130: Bai Liangwan Yuan Pension Security

Song Tan drove the small pickup truck to deliver the last pile of fruit saplings, and when she came down from the mountain with a roar, she saw the large truck in front acting like its butt was on fire; the boss didn't even say hello and stepped on the gas to leave.

Wu Lan, who had just turned down from the hillside, was stunned:

"Hey, why did they leave? I was still thinking about keeping them for a meal, and specifically came back early to cook."

Here she saw Zhang Yanping leaning against the gate, winking:

"Tan Tan, I didn't fail the mission; I really didn't let them leave empty-handed!"

Three brothers, two bottles of honey each, one jin of tea, and Zhang Yanping took the initiative to give them five jin of bamboo shoots each...

This was the highest treatment among all customers!

He was afraid Song Tan wouldn't be happy, so he spoke nicely at this moment: "People came from far away to deliver goods; if there is any cooperation in the future, we should keep in touch..."

Song Tan glanced at him, thinking that she wasn't stingy to that extent; she didn't give it before, it was just unnecessary.

Wu Lan, however, was already beaming with joy:

"Oh my, Yanping! It has to be you!"

"How do you say that? Tan Tan, you just gave them over one hundred thousand in payment, and they returned over thirty thousand here... In this way, the money to hire workers tomorrow is settled!"

Zhang Yanping also felt energized: "Then look, these bamboo shoots don't need to be dug, right!"

Song Tan thought for a while and said sincerely: "Better dig a bit more."

After all, the spiritual energy had already catalyzed them; it would be a pity not to dig them, and there would be many places to spend money next!

Zhang Yanping:...

What could he say?

Twenty yuan a jin for bamboo shoots was enough to stimulate Wu Lan's enthusiasm. She also took out a hoe and a basket at this moment: "Go, go, go, it's not dark yet, hurry to the bamboo forest, eat dinner later."

Zhang Yanping was crying without tears: "Little aunt, you should rest; Tan Tan is going to hire dozens of people tomorrow, and you have to do all the cooking!"

"You should catch your breath tonight and settle the matter of the helpers first."

Wu Lan stared at Song Tan:

"You are truly a biological daughter!"

"Ever since you came back, I haven't seen the family savings increase, but the work comes out day by day. Even if your parents are old oxen, they can't be used like this!"

Song Tan quickly comforted: "It's okay, Mom, you hire two helpers tomorrow first, and I'll go sit at my aunt's place after I finish selling the bamboo shoots, to see if I can invite Seventh Uncle back..."

Wu Lan was still complaining: "Isn't hiring helpers money? If you do this, I can't even take care of picking tea leaves..."

Tea leaves are so valuable!

Song Tan suddenly realized that ever since she returned home, all the expenses were paid by her, but her parents hadn't seen a single cent of the harvest.

This won't do.

Parents are getting old, and if they don't have money in their hands, they will feel more and more insecure.

This is not a question of whether they are filial or lack money, but purely because their philosophy for many years has been like this—

When people get old, they have to save some pension money for themselves.

But if all the financial power is released, with Wu Lan and Song Sancheng's cautious personalities, don't even think about any future expenses; just save money cent by cent.

Song Tan thought for a while: "Mom, give me a card number. We earn a lot and spend a lot this year, and you and Dad are indeed hardworking—let's do this, I'll give you two twenty thousand yuan every month, you save it."

As soon as this was said, Wu Lan was even angrier!

At this moment, the hoe was swung down fiercely, and with a "bang," a bamboo shoot was dug out, and then she stared at her: "Why, now you want to pay your parents a salary! Then if I ask you to do something in the future, do I have to pay for the errands?"

Song Tan:...

She knew it.

If she doesn't give money, her parents won't see money all year round, which is unreasonable.

If she gives money, they feel like they have become distant.

She had to change her perspective: "Mom, mainly you have also seen that our investment in the fields and mountains is quite large, and I spend money lavishly without a plan."

"This isn't just giving you some money every month, you help me and Qiao Qiao save it, in case something happens, we have to rely on you two."

As soon as this was said, Wu Lan thought about it:

Twenty thousand a month, two or three hundred thousand a year, the couple has only saved this much after a lifetime of frugality.

With this money, even if Tan Tan loses money this year, she won't have to worry in the future.

Besides, according to the family's current income status, even if she loses money, it will be very limited.

Then the couple holding the money is also a layer of security.

Thinking of this, oh my, having a daughter is so thoughtful!

At this moment, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles:

"Really giving it? Twenty thousand a month is not a small amount! Can you still take it out now—I do have a postal card that I don't use much, it only has the agricultural subsidy of over eight hundred yuan given every year, I'll find the card number for you when I get home later."

Don't say, even the posture of swinging the hoe seemed much easier.

Song Tan responded with a smile.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Zhang Yanping on the side was amazed.

Don't know why, always feel that his sister's level of fooling her parents seems very high-end.

Applying this scene to his own mother—

Hmm, better forget it. His mother definitely thinks money must be saved, but the root must be to take the civil service exam.

Compared to urging him to take the civil service exam, digging bamboo shoots in his hometown didn't seem like such hard work, and infinite energy surged in his body, and he broke two spring bamboo shoots by hand.

Waiting until it was dark and they couldn't see in the bamboo forest, everyone went back with full baskets.

In the afternoon, a total of nearly four hundred jin of bamboo shoots were dug.

Because there were many catalyzed by spiritual energy this time, bamboo shoots were sprouting one after another in the bamboo forest. Song Tan thought for a while, and while Wu Lan was bundling the bamboo shoots with rubber bands in three or five jin, she said:

"Mom, I see the bamboo shoots can be sold for another two days, let's hire two more people to help dig shoots these two days."

She had no time.

Zhang Yanping was not very useful for work.

Wu Lan was weighing the bamboo shoots in her hands—some were dug directly from the ground, looking like winter bamboo shoots, fat and large.

Some were tender shoots that had already grown, thin and long. The two sides were matched casually, as long as they gathered a pile of three or five jin.

This thing was very heavy, and the price of twenty yuan a jin was really gratifying, so Wu Lan didn't refute the matter of hiring people:

"Then tell your dad, call more people later."

Working tomorrow, everything must be arranged tonight.

Thinking about it, she said: "Don't rush to the city tomorrow morning, go to the town and buy more vegetables first."

"There are many people, we have to start cleaning up early in the morning, can't wait for you to buy vegetables from the city and come back."

"Okay."

Song Tan agreed.

She was now skilled in driving on mountain roads, and it was no problem to go to the town and back in half an hour.

"Then what vegetables to buy?"

This season...

Wu Lan thought for a while: "As long as you don't buy garlic sprouts, lettuce, cabbage, and spinach, anything else is fine. Other people in the village also have these in their vegetable plots, and everyone can gather them together."

————Side note————

Those who are waiting for the typhoon and me tonight, I think the love words you said in the comment section are better than mine...

There should be more at night, but it will probably be very late, don't wait, look tomorrow.
