Chapter 537: Maozhu Educates His Son

~8 min read 1,506 words

Zhou Tianyu woke up and it was already past eight o'clock. The sun was hanging brightly in the sky. He walked around the courtyard twice and broke into a sweat.

The house was quiet, and his dad had just returned with a dark blue medicine bucket on his back.

"Dad, it's so hot, are you still spraying medicine now?"

"Have to spray, I was busy in the spring and didn't take care of the fields, your mom still has to pick the tea leaves in the fields, and the grass in the tea garden and vegetable garden has grown very high."

Don't talk about weeding, their tea garden is much larger than Song Tan's. Ten mu of land, weeding is not pulling it out by the roots with a light pull. The roots of the wild grass are deep, and you have to use great strength to pull it out. It's tiring!

And ten mu of tea garden, the two of them pull it manually, and it takes half a month to be solid. When you look back—okay, the few mu of land pulled at the beginning, the wild grass has grown lush again.

Still have to rely on spraying medicine.

After all, picking fresh leaves to sell in the market every spring, you can earn ten thousand yuan in two months!

Zhou Tianyu nodded, and then asked: "Where is mom?"

Zhou Maozhu put down the medicine bucket, washed his hands and wiped his sweat while saying: "She went to Song Tan's tea garden. There are tea branches cut in the tea garden, and they have to be transported back. Transport three or five cars and then pick the leaves, but that is in the courtyard, no sun, with a fan... estimated to work until ten o'clock."

"If you are hungry, there is porridge in the pot, pad your stomach first."

Zhou Tianyu was a bit unhappy: "So hot, why let mom go to do this?"

"What?" Zhou Maozhu raised his voice: "Transporting and picking, 150 a day! If it weren't for the heat, where would there be this price? It's stupid not to earn money!"

Go to the mountain at five or six in the morning to put the tea branches on the tricycle, and Zhang Wang's family will ride the car to the courtyard. The tea branches are loose and not bundled, generally seven or eight trips are enough.

They are not tired, just moving from the field to the car. It's a bit hot, and they sweat a lot.

Next, it's almost hot at 8:30, and they can return to the courtyard to pick leaves, working until ten o'clock.

Wait until the afternoon, work from four o'clock to 6:30, and it doesn't delay going home to cook or anything...

Just this, 150 a day, it's really high temperature. Song Tan's family doesn't want those old ladies to move, so they have this price!

Those old ladies who only pick leaves, 100 a day.

"If it weren't for your mom still being young, this work wouldn't be let her do it."

My mom is still young? My mom is fifty!

Zhou Tianyu was speechless.

But he thought about it, and his heart felt uncomfortable: "Then you stir-fry tea for her family in the spring, and mom picks leaves for her family in the summer... simply became their employees."

They are about the same age, and they are from the same village. His salary is enough to buy one and a half jin of tea... Why is the gap so big?

Zhou Maozhu sighed: "I wish I could. Zhang Wang's family behind the mountain works for Song Tan's family, not much, 2500 a month, but includes food—"

Oh my, if it were all that taste the day before yesterday, if it weren't for saving money, he would do it for 1500!

Speaking of this, he was really envious: "You didn't see it, Zhang Wang's family was like stepping into a coffin in the spring, simply without any spirit."

"Now! That face is round and full, the complexion is not to mention how good! Walking with a limp is with wind! Not to mention how energetic! And the work is not heavy, and can drive a tricycle!"

2500, looking at the wages of people in the village, it's not high. But the problem is, this is a job at the door!

And Zhang Wang's family is a limp, what heavy work can he do?

Preparing fertilizer, watching the land, watching peaches and watermelons, riding a car to transport things...

Isn't this beautiful!

Looking at his son's haggard face who rested at home for a day and hadn't recovered, Zhou Maozhu couldn't help but dislike him: "You are one month over ten thousand, how much have you saved?"

Zhou Tianyu shrank back instantly, stammering:

"Consumption is high there, and have to rent a house, water and electricity, commuting... occasionally eat and drink, human relations, etc..."

An average of five thousand a month is not bad. He struggled for more than two years. The fortunate thing is that he didn't go from nothing to debt, but saved fifty thousand yuan...

Cough!

Compared to other young people, he is very hard-working!

Zhou Maozhu calculated with his mobile phone: "Two and a half years, saved fifty thousand, an average of one thousand six a month? Then how did you spend your ten thousand a month?"

The honest man's eyes went dark, and he really couldn't figure out how this life was lived! Where did the money go!

Zhou Tianyu was also aggrieved!

He was there, renting a house for 2000+ a month, and living in a remote and broken place! Then the company worked overtime, hungry and ordered takeout and drinks, etc., is it normal?

And he brought three people under his hand, occasionally eating and drinking and singing...

In short, he has been very restrained, and didn't apply for a credit card!

Zhou Maozhu couldn't understand, what kind of drink is twenty or thirty a cup, what kind of takeout starts at twenty and delivers... He just muttered:

"You are not as good as Zhang Wang's family, at least his money is all saved. He can save more than twenty thousand a year! Heard that Song Tan said at the Dragon Boat Festival that if food is included, he won't send rice, flour, grain, and oil, but directly bought a set of new clothes..."

Zhou Tianyu was depressed: "You keep saying Song Tan, Song Tan... Isn't her family just tea leaves that are good to stand out! What variety is it, let's learn, can't we plant it too?"

"What?!"

Zhou Maozhu never expected his son to dare to think like this, and instantly raised his voice: "People are just tea leaves good? People are improving water and soil for hundreds of thousands and invited experts and professors to guide!"

"How do you learn? Rely on the fifty thousand you saved?" He thought for a while and exaggeratedly made a metaphor:

"Her family's tea branches are not just fifty thousand!"

What?

Hundreds of thousands?!

Zhou Tianyu almost cried—everyone is in the same village, why are you so excellent?

That is indeed not daring to think. He can't get hundreds of thousands even if he sells blood.

But then again—

"How is she so rich?"

"What do you know!" Zhou Maozhu made up his mind today to cure his son's extravagant habit. Song Tan tossed hundreds of thousands of big things without a sound, and built a villa for the family, and still drove that second-hand broken pickup when going out!

Unlike his son—he was too lazy to say, he chartered a car when he came back (also lucky to catch up with Zhang Yanping and them, just these four people shared 60 yuan!), obviously there are buses and private cars from the city to the town, 20 yuan can reach the town, at that time he would ride a motorcycle to pick him up, how convenient!

This child, too extravagant!

At this moment, he said more and more like a model: "Song Tan went to the provincial capital after graduation, and her connections are amazing! Said she wanted hundreds of thousands and the loan came down, said she invited experts, and the experts she invited were all on the news!"

"Why is she so low-key? Unlike you, you sent tea at ten thousand a jin as soon as you raised your hand, arrogant and not like a human!"

"With your current net worth, you go to the bank to apply for a loan, who pays attention to you?"

Zhou Tianyu listened with his head down.

Because, just fifty thousand yuan... it's not enough for a down payment in their Yuncheng, go to the bank... at most apply for a credit card. ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
