Chapter 1792

~15 min read 2,827 words

After some deliberation, little Yang was full of confidence in himself!

Who would understand, before even starting college, there's another promising career direction!

While Qiaoqiao was still studying, he hurriedly organized his thoughts and sent a long reflection to old Yang—when thinking of key points while doing problems, he must solve them immediately; when thinking of anything in life, he must do it immediately; this is his consistent style.

And old Yang took a couple of looks during the meeting—

He asked his secretary: "Is it this electronic door lock? Can I also control it from here to open it and give the child an opportunity?"

Look at this, he was so grief-stricken that his brain wasn't even working clearly.

This child sees the farm at home always lush and green, and sees old Song's family's is the same, so he thinks that whoever farms, as long as they are serious and careful, it will be like this.

Why else would people say liberal arts are important?

Tao Tao Yuanming was already a person who had been an official, 【Rising in the morning to clear the weeds, carrying a hoe back under the moon】, was he diligent or not?

And the result?

【Planting beans under the southern mountain, the grass is lush and the bean sprouts are sparse】.

Farmers, unless they are large farm owners, simply can't make money. If large farm owners don't have national subsidy policies and various convenient supporting facilities, they are still in trouble.

A heavy rain, or no rain.

A cold snap, a hailstorm.

An epidemic...

This is the hardest and most fragile way to support oneself in the world.

Every year, large numbers of rural people go out to work, and farmland is left uncultivated; is it because they aren't diligent in farming, or don't know how to use agricultural machinery?

In the future, people will return to their hometowns to farm in large numbers—is the law sound in this regard? What about those contracted lands that have been swept clean and ruined by old men and women?

Can medical care keep up?

Can education keep up?

How many people are actually left in a village now?

Taking a step back, let's not consider the matter of making money for now; just ask those who are obsessed with farming and planting flowers, how much money have they dumped into it?

Have they broken even?

He pondered, and when the meeting ended, he still said to his secretary:

"You take a look, how to open the door lock remotely; when my son comes back, secretly open a crack for him."

The secretary's heart tightened immediately.

Yang Dong, he should indeed seem to have only this one child, right?

The families of the rich are so cold, so complicated, and so cruel!

Qiaoqiao doesn't understand the families of the rich; he only knows that given the situation of the mountains and hills where they are, they will never be able to use such large machines in this lifetime.

Now seeing this behemoth, and the incredibly detailed video teaching, and being able to enter the cab to watch others operate later...

Wow!

This must be the good teaching resources Teacher Xin mentioned, the kind where you can take practical classes!

He learned very seriously, even took draft paper and a pen, and took very detailed notes. By the time he came out again, two hours had already passed.

These two hours were enough for little Yang to wander around up and down, arrange everything, and even eat two more ice creams.

"Qiaoqiao!" He shook his phone: "It's 5 o'clock, time to start work! Work until 7:30 or 8 o'clock, when it's completely dark, and we can finish."

Qiaoqiao nodded hurriedly, took a deep breath, looked at the draft paper in his hand, and carefully folded it again, putting it back into his pants pocket:

"I've learned it all!"

He was so confident!

The two of them walked excitedly toward the tool room, where they could take the shuttle bus directly after getting their equipment.

The shuttle bus moved forward along the flat park; there weren't many people on the bus anymore, as those who were actually working had already started by now.

Qiaoqiao looked at the vast wilderness and asked curiously:

"Can I take a video to show the children?"

"What video!" Officer Xiao Yang said readily:

"Just livestream it! By the way, help us promote our products; our own official account doesn't even have many people watching."

"Wait a moment for the livestreaming equipment; we have professional ones."

This was purely a joke.

For large agricultural machines worth 7 million, and a famous agricultural brand at that, is this kind of promotion needed?

There are no target customers in the livestream room at all.

But Qiaoqiao didn't know; as soon as he thought he could help little Yang, he immediately became happy:

"Okay, I'll tell my sister!"

Yunqiao Village at 5 PM.

There was no sun today, but it was even worse than having sun.

When there is sun, it burns people's bodies, but now it felt like being locked in a steamer, and the breathing was indescribably stifling.

Every time they breathed, beads of sweat as big as beans emerged layer by layer, and no matter how much water they drank, it felt uncomfortable.

Swallows circled everywhere; when the pasture was being mowed at the river beach, the branches and leaves would fall with a rustle, startling away large swarms of dragonflies.

Work was originally scheduled to start at 5 PM, but at this moment, Song Tan gathered everyone in the air-conditioned room of the factory and wouldn't let them go no matter what.

A day or two of rain wouldn't delay anything, but if they insisted on working in this weather, people would really be heat-exhausted.

Liu Liu, an employee who had just become permanent, was at the age where she was young and capable—

There was no sun, so why couldn't they work?

She was a little anxious.

It wasn't that she didn't take her body seriously; it was really because there were too many places where money was needed.

Having been in Yunqiao Village for more than half a year, her daughter was now taken care of by Grandma Lianhua during the day, and she was raised to be white and chubby; she herself also felt that her body had recovered a lot?

Although the sallow complexion couldn't be seen clearly now because of her tanned face, she could feel that her voice was getting stronger day by day.

Before, when holding her child, she would be in tears every few days and couldn't sleep. She would sigh when she spoke, and the whole person was exhausted and dejected.

She thought it was because life was too bitter, but Guo Yi said no, it was because her body wasn't well-regulated and her emotions were blocked.

And now?

She could shout to people across the mountain with a loud voice.

Doctor Doctor Xiao Guo Yi said this was her vital energy gradually recovering, proving that her body was getting better!

Thinking of this, the future was so promising! She was full of energy, and now she wished she could work 24 hours a day to make money.

After all...

Liu Liu was a little worried: the child is now one and a half years old; when the child is 3, she has to go to kindergarten, right?

The kindergarten is in the town.

Later, she could go to elementary and middle school in the town, but isn't the teaching resource not very good?

When she went to see a doctor at little Guo Yi's clinic, she heard the new doctors and nurses chatting, discussing buying a second-hand car, and heard that you could buy one for ten or twenty thousand now...

Driving the car to the town would only take ten or twenty minutes; how convenient it would be to pick up and drop off her daughter at school.

If driving to the city, encountering traffic jams, it might take more than an hour.

According to the "stomach-cutting brother" and the "self-study sister" who were still reluctant to leave after picking vegetables:

What does that count for?!

She didn't have a driver's license, so she had to learn to get one, a few thousand yuan...

The more promising the future, the more ideas people have; heard the boss was going to build houses in the town, wouldn't she have to save up for a down payment?

In short!

Liu Liu was a little anxious: "If we can't do heavy work, let's go pick tea."

Song Tan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At this time, the mosquitoes on the mountain could eat people, although their employees had mosquito repellent sachets, so there was no need to worry when working.

But...

Song Tan thought about it; weren't her parents also willing to do anything to make money before? It was really just to make a living; when people are poor, their ambitions are short.

But now it's not the same as before.

Doing farm work in muggy weather, that kind of stifling feeling from the body to the chest is hard to describe in words; the whole body is uncomfortable.

So she thought about it and said to everyone:

"I'll ask Guo Yi to prepare some heat-clearing tea; everyone drink some tea, help finish the remaining work here, then eat, and go back to sleep early."

Doesn't that mean half a day is gone? How is the salary calculated? The crowd became noisy again.

And Song Tan continued:

"How about this, this little bit of work, I estimate it won't take everyone an hour to finish; I'll notify the kitchen to cook early, and strive for us to go home at 7:30."

"Everyone sleep early, start work at 1 AM, can we work with night lights? Night shift wages are doubled."

As soon as this was said, Liu Liu immediately shut her mouth.

Double wages, doesn't that mean earning five or six hundred, seven or eight hundred a night?

Who wouldn't want that!

It's also cooler to work at night.

Not to mention them, even cousin Zhu spiritual energy, who was sweating profusely and wiping his face with his T-shirt, was extremely tempted.

He squeezed to Song Tan's side:

"Tantan, anyway, Minmin has gone back, otherwise I'll work the night shift for you as usual!"

He really worked hard; he got a salary at his cousin's house, plus his girlfriend's family was enjoying themselves eating and drinking here...

The big cousin was someone who loved to work hard at his unit, and now he was even more unsparing!

His movements were fast, nimble, and willing to put in effort, so much so that the employees around him watched him and didn't dare to rest for a breath, fearing that people would think they were getting high wages but couldn't even compare to the boss's relative, and would be gossiped about later...

In short, looking at this cousin who had a "catfish effect," Song Tan looked at his hair, which was soaked shiny with sweat, and the pious thirst for money in his eyes...

"Okay! You'll be tired then; when picking fruit, do some heavy lifting work; the salary for this is also higher."

Many places in the orchard don't have roads for vehicles because the soil is soft, and many places are intercropped with vegetables, so carts are hard to move.

Everyone picks and puts them in baskets, and they won't carry the baskets everywhere; at this time, manual labor is needed to transport the baskets under the trees to the tricycle.

Because it is indeed heavy lifting, and the orchard is large, with several orchards combined with vegetable gardens, working for five hours, twenty thousand steps is a given.

The salary is 350 a day.

—What's wrong with that?

Zhu spiritual energy was overjoyed and took out his phone to call Minmin:

"Minmin, you're home, right... Don't wait for me, I'm not going back tonight! Tantan's night shift salary here is 700, I'll ask for leave tomorrow morning..."

Work until 9 o'clock in the morning, finish, eat, drink, clean up, and go home at 10:30 or 11 o'clock.

Wash up, sleep happily for another 3 hours, and then work the afternoon shift as usual.

In short, not a penny was delayed!

Because staying behind also saved several meals!

Song Tan listened silently to his plan, obviously already numb.

Not to mention anything else, if you combine last year's high-minded but low-ability Wu Lei with Zhu spiritual energy, wouldn't both of them be normal?

She asked again: "Are Aunt and Uncle okay?"

What's wrong with them?

Zhu spiritual energy went to wash his face: "They blew the air conditioning in the hospital all night! How comfortable!"

He slept on the bench outside, which was also quite comfortable, just a bit hard.

Aunt and Uncle both got injections, took medicine, and drank Huoxiang Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and slept very soundly.

In the morning, Minmin's mother even brought breakfast specifically, didn't spend a penny, and ate very well!

"It's just that the business stopped for a day, my mom felt sorry..."

What can you say about this?

Living life, it's like drinking water; you know whether it's cold or warm yourself.

Song Tan urged: "Lu Chuan bought two air conditioners for Aunt—spiritual energy, don't decline first; the price of air conditioners now is very cheap, and they save electricity. Later, find a reliable place to sell your old one as second-hand, and you can earn a little."

"It's just that it's summer now, the air conditioning technicians are too busy; I estimate it won't be installed tomorrow, wait until the day after."

Zhu spiritual energy was conflicted when he heard this:

"Minmin and my mom agreed on the air conditioner, to change it when we get married. Changing it now..."

Although it's early, isn't it a bit bad for the cousin's boyfriend to pay?

"Then otherwise I won't take the salary."

As soon as he spoke, Song Tan added:

"Don't say any more polite words, spiritual energy; you also know Lu Chuan loves planting flowers and grass. Isn't your house close to that old flower and bird market? Heard it's going to be relocated recently; when you have time, go look around and see if there are any flowers or plants that others don't want but have good quality."

"Bring them back then; he can plant them here, and it saves the money for buying flowers."

As if!

Lu Chuan is very picky about the quality of flowers.

But Aunt Lu has nothing to do besides watching this homestay now, staring at the screen all day long, chasing dramas until her eyes are blurry.

She can help manage the garden outside the homestay, and naturally likes to fiddle with flowers and plants, which is why Song Tan came up with this idea.

Once entrusted with something, Zhu spiritual energy became extra reliable:

"That's fine! Don't worry!"

He was full of energy again.

And just at this moment, Song Tan received a call from Qiaoqiao—

"Sister, look!"

Qiaoqiao's face was close to the lens; soon, the lens flipped, and what came into view was a vast expanse of high-rise buildings passing by rapidly.

The sound of wind came from the phone.

"Sister! I want to livestream picking cotton here, drive a cotton harvester, and help little Yang's family promote their products! Can I?"

Song Tan smiled: "Sure! Are you selling cotton? Then let little Yang send a store link, and I'll let She Min hang a jump link directly."

Qiaoqiao shook his head: "No, no! I'm helping little Yang's family sell agricultural machinery; they don't sell agricultural products."

Song Tan was stuck immediately.

"Our kind of small agricultural machinery? That should be operated in our terrain to show everyone."

Qiaoqiao was even more proud!

"I am a professionally trained Qiaoqiao now; I'm going to actually drive the machine to show everyone in a moment—Sister, look! That one! That red one! I'm going to sell that one!"

Song Tan looked over.

She saw a steel behemoth moving slowly in the vast cotton field far, far away.

Song Tan: "..."

She didn't say anything more about promoting products, and asked with a muffled laugh: "Then how much is this machine? Is there a discount in the livestream room?"

Yang Yang Zhengxin on the side naturally heard it too, and was equally serious at this moment:

"Sister, you and Qiaoqiao are not outsiders. I am especially grateful that Qiaoqiao can come to help our group promote products!"

"Don't worry! I am, after all, Yang Dong's son, a connected person! I will apply for an exclusive 50-yuan coupon right now! Only our livestream room has it!"

?? Here it is!!! Farming solidly for two days!!! After exercising, the brain is much quieter, and the writing is smoother.
