Chapter 498

~8 min read 1,413 words

Night has fallen.

Logically speaking, the daily routine of contemporary college students cannot be this healthy; it's only ten o'clock and they have already put down their phones.

But... who told them to follow Professor Song?

How joyfully they became Professor Song's graduate students back then, and how miserable their daily routine is now.

After all, it's already very good that such a big shot can come to teach, and it's even rarer that he agreed to bring students. However, it's probably because he hasn't brought students for many years and only brought experienced assistants, so he has no experience in bringing students. The three young people met Professor Song, selected topics, and were logically taken to the fields...

Although there is mechanized operation now, there is not much need to do it yourself. But the initial experimental field zoning has many varieties, and with the effort of operating machinery, it is better to do it yourself!

And them, don't look at them studying agriculture; how many times have they been to the fields?

They were forced to do it, evolving step by step from graduate students to the most skilled farmers... The blood and tears in this are truly hard to describe.

So, after so long, everyone's daily routine has become exceptionally stable.

But tonight...

The master and two apprentices lying on simple small beds tossed and turned, truly unable to sleep.

"Hey..." Tang Xiaodong really couldn't hold it in and whispered to Grandpa Qi Lin on the side: "Are you asleep?"

Grandpa Qi Lin lay flat on the straw mat in a proper manner, his eyes staring at the pitch-black roof, his face dull and unseen by anyone in the middle of the night:

"Asleep."

Tang Xiaodong:...

"Forget it, don't pretend; don't think I don't know you ate watermelon until you hiccuped tonight!"

"What about you?" Grandpa Qi Lin didn't show weakness: "How many months have you been lying down?"

Tang Xiaodong couldn't help but touch his undulating belly and finally decided that the brothers couldn't hurt each other like this: "That... what are you going to eat tomorrow morning?"

He looked forward to it: "If the food is like this every day, do you think the teacher is willing to stay for a while longer? We won't eat for free; I can also work very well."

After he finished speaking, Professor Song, who had been silent, also spoke quietly: "There is this plan, but not for the sake of eating, but because the seeds on the market are of uneven quality. After I finish the planning, I can look for other agricultural science academies to see if there are any stable nurseries or seeds."

Tang Xiaodong was startled: "Damn... Teacher, you're not asleep?"

Professor Song's voice became increasingly indifferent: "Yeah, not asleep."

Ate too much, really ate too much.

He didn't say it out loud, but Tang Xiaodong and Grandpa Qi Lin obviously understood, and at this moment they also turned over.

The old wooden bed was still sturdy. At everyone's request, the mattress originally used to cushion the hardness was put away, and another green straw mat was added...

Customers who are bitterly waiting for the straw mat to be put on the shelves in the Taotao Treasure shop must not know that the reason why it is sold out every day is purely because someone is cutting in line like this...

"Have you noticed that the night in the village is very cool! There is no air conditioning or fan, and I don't feel hot at all."

Tang Xiaodong turned over again, only feeling cool all over his body; it's so comfortable in the middle of the night!

Grandpa Qi Lin also felt so: "This straw mat they wove themselves is really good; I want to take one when I leave."

Professor Song didn't speak; he thought it was indeed quite comfortable, and he wanted one too.

It is said that it can be folded, so it is convenient for them to carry it with them wherever they go.

Tang Xiaodong's voice was faint: "Didn't you look at the price?"

When chatting tonight, I heard that most of the family's miscellaneous agricultural products are sold through the Taotao Treasure shop. Tang Xiaodong specifically asked for the link and flipped through it before going to sleep, which immediately blew his sleepiness away.

Of course, in fact, the most conspicuous thing in the Taotao Treasure shop is the statement written at the very top—

【Customer service is on vacation, the shop does not reply in time. Orders before 3:00 PM will be shipped by Swift Express on the same day, and orders after 3:00 PM will have to wait for the next day. Please shop and place orders by yourself.】

This announcement was requested by Song Tan.

Anyway, there is nothing in the shop now, and everyone has nowhere to start if they want to buy it. Otherwise, how could she bear to give this great cousin a long vacation?

But Tang Xiaodong didn't notice these; he only saw the price of the straw mat.

The straw mat they are lying on, seemingly unremarkable and at most a little greener, why is it four digits?

But thinking about it again: it's fine! Pure handmade weaving that is a little better is indeed this price now.

Now lying on it, this green grass smell is worth it!

Speaking of price, Grandpa Qi Lin also felt heartache: "Forget it, we young people don't pick these external things."

Look at the phone again: it's 10:40!

It's this time and they haven't fallen asleep yet; are they really not tired after running around all day today?

No!

Grandpa Qi Lin sat up: "I want to go to the bathroom because I ate too much watermelon... I'm going to the bathroom."

Tang Xiaodong also said "Yeah": "I'll go later too."

The bathroom in the corner of the courtyard is enough; he just has a bit of procrastination.

However, he can't delay any longer; he really has to sleep. I heard that some people get up to work at five or six in the morning... It seems that everyone's daily routine is the same in summer.

Grandpa Qi Lin opened the door.

Instantly!

A wave of heat steaming in midsummer rushed towards him. Even at night, it didn't decrease in the slightest, making the originally refreshed body instantly exude a layer of fine sweat.

He paused, then walked to the bathroom silently. When he came back and lay down, he turned over several times before making up his mind—

Tang Xiaodong was just about to get up when he heard him say faintly: "I'm determined to buy this straw mat. Young people should enjoy themselves in time and enjoy it well!"

Tang Xiaodong:...

Although he was puzzled, he didn't say anything, just muttered: "I just said it was cool; sure enough, I still can't move. I felt hot as soon as I stood up and moved..."

Until he turned around and opened the door too.

"--Damn, why is it so hot outside?!"

On the bed, Professor Song also turned over silently.

Honestly, Song Tan was sincere in her hospitality this time; after all, they didn't want money, right?

But I didn't expect that early the next morning, all three of them said they wanted a straw mat. Professor Song even bought one for his wife, daughter, and granddaughter at home and mailed them out!

The students didn't miss their families, but they were really short of money and couldn't bear it.

In fact, Song Tan intended to give them to the three of them, but Professor Song disagreed no matter what.

Look, early in the morning, she happily received more than 7,000 yuan, and her heart was quite complicated.

Looking at the energetic people, she asked: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Yan Ran nodded: "Quite good."

She could see that outsiders shouldn't live at home, so she was a little embarrassed when she went up yesterday, but she didn't expect that once the straw mat was spread, she slept soundly!

When she woke up in the morning, she noticed that she was sleeping in the small bedroom near the door, which was particularly quiet.

And the super large living room and balcony after going out really made people feel enjoyable.

If you have to say what is bad...

"Sigh, I ate too much watermelon and ran to the bathroom several times at night."
