Chapter 1818

Mentioning going out for further study, Zhang Zhang Hongshener felt a bit shy.

"I'm a rural woman... I didn't even go to high school..."

To be precise, she didn't even finish junior high.

But the village is poor, so everyone is about the same, and no one thinks anything of it. But now, thinking about going to a proper unit to learn, she felt timid in her heart.

Little Secretary Zhu smiled: "What do you need a degree for to be a matchmaker? When it comes to gathering information in the surrounding area, who can be more reliable than you, Auntie? You can find out about both men and women, and we can feel at ease introducing them to each other."

Little Secretary Zhu has been in the countryside for more than a year and has deeply realized that this world is not just about degrees.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Zhang Zhang Hongshener's execution ability in grinding tofu, her control over her family, and the trust her family has in her...

Is this just a matter of a diploma or degree?

This is personal ability, personal character.

Therefore, handing the matchmaking event to her to organize was truly not something everyone decided on a whim.

Now, facing Zhang Zhang Hongshener's lack of confidence, she also encouraged her:

"Those matchmaking events organized in units at most just understand a person's basic situation. What's written in the file is what it is, and if you ask colleagues and friends, they won't say bad things, right?"

It's the same when inquiring about marriages in the village.

Even if there are bad things, they won't deliberately say bad things to break up a marriage—regardless of whether the marriage is good or not, in short, they can't tell the truth.

Precisely because of this, Little Secretary Zhu said:

"We can slowly inquire about these basic situations. But the problem is, the most important character is unclear!"

"Look at our village, the Song family has opened a farm, and they've shared good seedlings with us. With these seedlings, hasn't every household in the village earned more income?"

That's not all.

Like Li Li Lanhua, although she didn't catch up with the good thing of grinding tofu, her family is also hardworking. They take good care of their vegetable patch, and just in May, I heard they earned ten thousand yuan.

Just talk about such good things; where can you easily find them?

"Our village's vegetable seedlings are good, but the output is limited, and they aren't usually given to outsiders. You say, if these young men and women find an ill-intentioned partner, and they incite or trick them, or deliberately come to cause trouble to scout the bottom line, and then toss the farm a few times..."

Let's just say, the Song family earns money, but they also made a huge investment. It's rumored in the village that the investment is hundreds of millions.

In short, everyone doesn't consider how Song Tan, a college student, got so many loans, but anyway, since they are so prosperous, they must have made a huge investment.

If they don't give seedlings, their own business won't be delayed, but if they give seedlings and things keep happening, then it's better not to give them.

Also, the incident where Old Lady Zhou tried to poison the water channel on the mountain was spread all over the surrounding area, and Zhou Zhou Maozhu had no face for a long time.

But fortunately, Old Lady Zhou's eccentricity wasn't a one-day achievement, and these helpless children of hers were often brought out by everyone to sigh, and in the end, there was no major impact.

But the poison wasn't cast, and the medicine itself was expired. But Zhang Zhang Hongshener now relies on the clear spring from the water pool on the mountain to grind tofu!

Every day she rides her tricycle, carefully fetching water.

If the water source were ruined, wouldn't their family's good days, their son's car, and their daughter's house... all be in vain?

Chatting like this for a few sentences, Zhang Zhang Hongshener suddenly felt a sense of mission:

"Secretary Zhu, don't worry, there's nothing in the surrounding area I can't find out! I'll ask clearly about the family background of all the young men and women who sign up."

"I'll go see what the process of their matchmaking event is later, and I'll definitely learn it!"

If their perfunctory matchmaking in the city could be successful, it wouldn't be so unpopular.

She, Zhang Hong, doesn't look down on it.

They all go through the motions, just for show, and the people who go are unwilling.

Unlike her, with a thick notebook full of information, at least the men and women who signed up have the intention.

Especially that group of security guards on the mountain who need special attention.

Every time she fetches water, the people patrolling nearby help her lift it and put it on the car.

Just from such short contact, some are enthusiastic, some are stern, and some can even crack jokes and laugh...

Seeing each other every day, who has what kind of temperament, who chats about their family situation in a few words... no matter how tight-lipped they are, they won't say nothing when chatting about themselves or their families.

It's not the high-density state of the past, so Zhang Zhang Hongshener keeps everything they can say in her heart.

It's strange to say, she used to get sleepy as soon as she read a book in school, and memorizing was even worse.

But now, she can remember for several years whatever young people say about their families.

In short, Zhang Zhang Hongshener boosted her confidence, pushed the bottle of fermented bean curd onto the table, and walked into the rain curtain again with her umbrella:

"I have a notebook, I've recorded everything. I'll organize it later—Secretary Zhu, let me know when you've arranged it, and I'll take the bus to the city!"

She paused, her large umbrella twisted at an angle in the rain, and she turned around to ask:

"Will the bus fare be reimbursed? It keeps raining, what if I have to take a taxi in the city?"

They are all rural people who earn money through hard work, so don't treat a bean bun as not being food. The bus plus a taxi in the city will cost at least twenty or thirty yuan.

Zhang Zhang Hongshener was full of enthusiasm, and over here, Professor Song, accompanied by Deputy General Manager Chen and the three students, had already driven to Sister Tian Tian's house.

Thanks to the new round of road construction in the village, the main road was flat and smooth, but after the car stopped, they still had to walk across the narrow and winding field ridges before they could turn to Sister Tian Tian's house.

Fortunately, the summer wild grass is lush now, and the grass on the ridges wasn't pulled clean, so walking didn't result in feet full of yellow mud, except for the squeaking sound of stepping on water.

Because of the income, Sister Tian Tian's house was renovated this year, with white walls and red steel tiles, looking quite prominent.

Pointing further down, Tang Tang Xiaodong said actively:

"Teacher, look, that's our strawberry seedlings, 4th generation!"

Professor Song frowned slightly:

"How did you negotiate the cooperation? During the peak growing season, if these strawberry seedlings are left in their fields for propagation, it will affect the next round of farming, which is also a loss for the farmers."

"Teacher, don't worry!" The three of them quickly guaranteed: "When we negotiated, we gave them this batch of strawberry seedlings. The price is that this field is used as an experimental field, and we even pay them wages to look after the seedlings!"

Otherwise, why would that little bit of funding be used up so quickly?

No matter how much conflict there is in Sister Tian Tian's family, they are indeed meticulous and hardworking when working for wages. The three students' thesis success all relied on these detailed data.

In short, some money should be spent!

Sister Tian Tian received the news early that they were coming, and at this moment, her figure holding an umbrella could already be seen on the road, followed by Tian's mother.

"Sister Tian Tian, you said the teacher is coming, will he think we didn't take good care of the field and stop letting us do it later?"

Sister Tian Tian comforted her: "It's okay, even if he doesn't let us do it, we've done a good job, and with this favor, we can buy some when there are good seedlings later. Once we grow delicious fruit, we won't even need to go to Yunqiao Village; tourists will buy them at roadside stalls."

After all, who doesn't have selfish motives?

Sister Tian Tian's mother has that kind of thought, but from childhood to adulthood, except for economic conditions not allowing it, Sister Tian Tian has had everything other children have.

Can she really cut ties with her family? Tian Ye is also competitive and is holding on to her breath.

Plus, Sun Sun Ziqiang's excavator work isn't available every day. Now, his mother's abacus is much louder than their own, and the couple is planning to earn money by relying on the family's land...

In short, it's always said that it's hard for an honest official to settle family affairs, and being in the middle of it, it's also confusing to settle. Let's just live like this, as long as the bottom line isn't retreated.

The couple built a new house at the door, and there is someone to help with whatever they do, the fields are also taken care of, and they can have a hot meal when they get home.

With her parents' health like this, someone has to look after them.

Therefore, what Professor Song and Deputy General Manager Chen saw was still a harmonious family.

After greeting each other, Sister Tian Tian quickly led the way to bring them home:

"It's raining heavily, the grass here is slippery, please walk slowly..."

"No need, no need." Professor Song waved his hand:

"Now is the critical period for seedling cultivation, I have to walk around the strawberry field to take a look."

He was experienced, and at this moment, he took two plastic bags out of his pocket, shook them open, and put them over his shoes.

He could even spare two to hand to Deputy General Manager Chen.

Deputy General Manager Chen: Me??

He didn't intend to go into the field.

But since he was already here, he had also done farm work, so he neatly tidied himself up.

While muttering: "If I had known, we would have brought a raincoat."

"No need." Professor Song smiled: "You can't do anything on a rainy day, I'm just here to take a look."

After saying that, he neatly stepped into the strawberry field.

Strawberries are planted in furrows, and he frowned slightly at a glance: the furrows aren't deep enough.

It can be maintained in the short term, but I'm afraid not in the long term. The drainage isn't smooth enough.

But, they really didn't expect such a long rain before, and it can still be supported for now, so let's take a look first.

And this protective agent before the rain—

Yan Ran explained: "Teacher, we had prepared it, but the resistance of this batch of strawberry seedlings is indeed very prominent, so we wanted to see if it could be maintained under natural conditions..."

It's also experimental, so no protective agents were sprayed before the rain.

Professor Song nodded.

In fact, since the fourth generation hasn't degraded significantly, he knew that this batch of strawberry mother plants already had research value.

Looking at the stolons growing wildly on the ground, he frowned:

"We have to tell the farmers later. When the rain stops, we have to ask them to cut off these weak stolons."

"Mm-hmm."

The students just kept nodding; they were all in this major and understood the relevant knowledge. If too many stolons grow and they are too weak, the seedlings cultivated won't be strong enough.

This is a standard process for controlling growth.

Qi Lin also added: "Teacher, don't worry. We've already explained these details, and their family is very meticulous."

When Sister Tian Tian heard this, she immediately took the opportunity to say: "Professor Song, don't worry. My dad is still at home splitting bamboo strips; when the rain stops, we have to set up the supports for the small arched sheds."

They say it's a continuous rainy season, but you never know when a big sun will suddenly come out. With such high temperature and humidity, sudden exposure to the sun would make even the most resistant seedlings grow poorly.

They will set up the small arched sheds first, and once it's going to be a sunny day, they will quickly put up the shading nets.

After all, fearing losing their job is one aspect, but they are indeed down-to-earth and honest people when it comes to farm work.

Professor Song looked at the students.

They were all silly, but this was a lucky strike; they used the right people.

?? Last night! Slept! Eight hours! Eight!!!

? Happy, everything is beautiful when I wake up today.
