Chapter 464

~7 min read 1,321 words

When the afterglow of the sun finally disappeared completely, the two rice fields were also fully transplanted.

Song Sancheng waved goodbye to the villagers who came to help, and walked slowly towards home with the dejected Wu Lei Ge.

Entering the courtyard, Wu Lei Ge, as he expected, washed the remaining mud off his feet by the pool without a word, and then went upstairs to the third floor in a daze.

Leaving everyone in the courtyard looking at each other:

"What's wrong with him?"

"Don't mention it..."

Song Sancheng also had an indescribable expression.

"That someone, Lili seems to have deleted him, blocked him."

"What?" Zhang Yanping frowned: "Lili only blocked him now!"

Really, for a silly girl like Wu Lei Ge, high school students are better at coaxing people than him, although they don't like Lili either, they are still curious—how could he fall for her?

Song Sancheng quickly waved his hand: "This time it's not Lili's fault, really not! This silly boy..."

He showed a toothache expression: "He video called Lili and showed her a leech..."

And it wasn't just a flash, it was aimed at the camera the whole time. He finished talking about his own hardships, and Lili didn't scold him, which was already enough cultivation.

When this was said, everyone in the courtyard was speechless.

Just...

Song Tan looked at Until Wu Lan, her expression complex: "Mom, logically speaking, the genes of our Old Wu family shouldn't be like this!"

"What's wrong with that," Until Wu Lan also opened up: "Look at movies, they talk about mutants, can't people have other strengths?"

"What strengths?"

Zhang Yanping asked suddenly.

This question also left Until Wu Lan speechless.

Just... strengths... that... she hasn't discovered it yet, but how should I put it—

Song Tan suddenly raised her voice: "The strength is! My Wu Lei Ge Ge works much harder than you!"

Zhang Yanping wasn't convinced—how does that saying go, those who labor with their minds govern others, those who labor with their strength are governed by others!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he heard the sound of thumping on the stairs again—Wu Lei Ge came downstairs again.

He was dejected, probably hungry now, entered the living room, grabbed a peach, and crunched it, as if he had a grudge against the peach.

Seeing Boss Qian gritting his teeth, he always felt that without bathing and burning incense to maintain his emotions, he wasn't worthy of his peerless good peach.

Song Sancheng muttered in a low voice: "Tantan, I just heard Wu Lei Ge say he wants to save his salary to buy train tickets and gifts for Lili... why don't you find an excuse to only give him a part, and save the rest?"

Isn't he going to buy a house in Ningcheng? With food and housing provided here, a salary of 3000 a month, even if he saves a thousand, he can save 20,000 yuan in two years, right?

Better than relying entirely on the family, right?

Song Tan raised her eyebrows, full of confidence: "Don't worry, Dad!"

Then she cleared her throat and said loudly: "By the way, Brother Yanping, these peaches are so delicious, do you want to take two boxes home?"

A filial and expectant smile appeared on Zhang Yanping's dark and honest face: "Definitely! And since these peaches are so delicious, how could I only take two boxes?"

"Since you gave a friendly price, Tantan, I have to be thick-skinned and take the opportunity to buy more—how about this, good things aren't always available, I have a salary of 2500 a month, I'll keep 500 for phone bills and such, save another 500, and use the remaining 1500 to buy peaches!"

Teacher Xin Jun also spoke at the right time: "My salary is a bit more, but I have to pay for express delivery, so I'll follow with 2000."

Song Tan turned her head, looked at the distracted Wu Lei Ge, and asked as if casually: "Wu Lei Ge Ge, this is your first salary, do you want to buy some peaches for your family?"

Wu Lei Ge hesitated, hasn't the salary been paid yet?

But—

"Then... I'll take 6 boxes too, but keep 3 boxes for Lili, she can take them back for her parents to taste."

"These peaches are really delicious, Lili is angry today, I'll send peaches over to let her vent her anger."

Song Tan shook her head.

Then she walked to his side and whispered: "Wu Lei Ge Ge, you're not thinking right—why did you come to my house to work? For your down payment!"

"Who is holding the down payment? Your parents!"

"You received your first salary, of course you have to do your best to let them enjoy the benefits of raising a son, so that when you open your mouth later, it won't be so easy to be rejected."

"Of course, Lili's side isn't that you can't give—but isn't she angry? Why are you so silly? Cold express deliveries taken by a cold courier... can there be any feeling?"

"Aren't you afraid she'll think you're dismissing her with two boxes of peaches, and not respecting her at all?"

She spoke earnestly and sincerely, playing with words with exceptional skill.

"How about this, you tell Lili that you specifically prepared a super great gift for her, and let her come here to find you!"

"Of course, don't buy tickets first, after all, whether she agrees or not is another matter."

Save the money spent on buying gifts and train tickets.

"Also, communication over the phone has no emotion."

"You have to be face-to-face! If Lili is angry, she will definitely reject you first, but we can slowly boil the frog in warm water, dripping water wears through stone."

"If she's not angry anymore, you invite her over, give her a step, isn't that a happy ending?"

Wu Lei Ge was silent for a moment, hesitating: "You... what you said seems to make sense..."

"Of course!" Song Tan was exceptionally confident: "How can you talk about love like that!"

"But!" Wu Lei Ge looked at her distrustfully:

"Tantan, haven't you talked about love yet? You, a single person, are guiding me, who has talked about it, can you do it?"

Song Tan:...

That also makes sense.

But—

She boasted about herself unceremoniously:

"Brother, look at my face, am I someone who lacks pursuers? Haven't eaten pork, but haven't I seen pigs run?"

"Listen to me, when the time comes, Uncle and Aunt will be happy, maybe your two years will become one! Isn't that more important than meeting your girlfriend briefly?"

She said earnestly: "If two hearts are one, what need is there for—morning and evening!"

After finishing, she smoothed the goosebumps on her arms first.

But Wu Lei Ge didn't notice.

He just thought carefully, and then gritted his teeth:

"You're right!"

"Just do as you say—give my parents 8 boxes, and prepare 2 boxes for Lili to come! The rest is for me to pay for phone bills and play games, and buy tickets and such!"

Song Tan nodded, and then added considerately:

"But Wu Lei Ge Ge, these peaches can't be eaten all at once, they won't be fresh if left. Anyway, the peach orchard is still there, I'll send two boxes first. The rest, wait until we go to town another day, and send them slowly."

"The longer you eat, the more you can feel your filial piety."

Considering so thoughtfully, Wu Lei Ge could only nod repeatedly.

He felt that although Cousin Tantan was sometimes cold-blooded and sometimes fierce, she was still very thoughtful when considering things.

Daytime! I'm working so hard!!!

Reasonably 500 chapters, it's an integer, very suitable for the end of March!

But the one chapter owed last month hasn't been made up yet...

So... there's more. Probably late at night.
