Chapter 581: Tian Tian's Little Thoughts

~8 min read 1,538 words

Shangtang Village.

At noon in summer, the scorching sun makes even the cicadas not like to chirp. A roar of a motorcycle came from the entrance of the village. Old Tian's daughter wore a hat, her face covered with a veil, and returned like a gust of wind.

Tian Tian's mom heard the movement, rolled over and sat up, quickly got up from the mat, and rushed out of the door while waving a fan, her face full of hope:

"How was it?"

Tian Tian took off her hat, her cheeks flushed red. At this moment, she rushed to the faucet to wash her face, saying vaguely:

"Nothing much."

Can't a mother tell what this means?

At this moment, her face was instantly lonely: "I specifically told them not to talk about our health, why is it still not working?"

Tian Tian wiped the water droplets indifferently: "What's there to hide? If you don't know during the blind date, can't you know after chatting for a few words? Don't let the matchmaker be blamed."

She knew what her mom meant. Isn't it just that she felt her dad's poor health was dragging her down from dating?

It would be impossible to say there was no impact, but the problem is, Tian Tian herself is not in a hurry about this.

When she was a daughter, she could openly take care of the family at home, but if she got married and then surrounded her maiden home every day, even the most reasonable person would have an opinion. It's better not to get married first.

The reason she agreed to the blind date is because Tian Tian herself has selfish motives—

Her dad was repairing fruit trees for others outside last year. A branch got stuck on the tree and didn't fall down at that time. As a result, when someone passed by, it was so unfortunate that it hit his eye.

Originally, there was not much family foundation, and this time it was all lost.

Originally, she thought that as long as the person was fine, she would make money slowly. Unexpectedly, after the matter was over, her dad seemed to finally let go of his heart, his blood pressure went up, and he almost had a stroke!

Going to the hospital, they had to be sent to a large hospital in the provincial capital, and they had to rehabilitate... Even with medical insurance, this whole process owed tens of thousands of yuan again.

Not only that, Tian Tian took too long a leave, and her clothing sales job in the city was lost.

It was not easy to settle down at home. Her mom was exhausted during this period and fell down, receiving infusions and recuperating, before she could do some small work.

The family lacks two strong laborers, and her dad needs someone to take care of him. The land can't be cleaned up. Tian Tian thought about it and simply stayed at home.

It just so happened that before this holiday, her younger brother's school in the city held a parent-teacher meeting, and Tian Tian went.

That is a key high school, with nearly ten people entering top institutions every year. The teacher's words were also very sincere:

"... The grades are very good, and the grade ranking is in the top fifty... English is really poor. Parents, think of a way, otherwise it's too regrettable..."

Rural children, it's normal to come into contact with English only in junior high school, and it's normal to lag behind.

Tian Tian's younger brother, Tian Ye, is only in the first year of high school, and it's completely in time to remedy it.

But now, tutoring classes are not allowed to be held, and schools don't make up for classes. If you want to improve your grades, you have to find acquaintances and pull relationships to sneak into that kind of small class...

Especially for rural children to make up for lessons, whether it is food and accommodation or tutoring fees, it is not a small expense.

One thing after another...

Hemp rope picks the thin part to break; that's what it means.

Tian Tian's selfish motive is: the progress of blind dates in the countryside is very fast. If they get along, they can visit the house after three or five times.

According to the rules, the man has to give 10,001 yuan, indicating one in ten thousand.

If it works, she wants to use this money to pay for her brother's tutoring fees and living expenses.

She didn't go to college after graduating from high school because she really couldn't learn it. But she still understands the gap between 985/211 and ordinary undergraduates.

However, she just thought about it, and she wasn't selfless enough to bet her whole life on this.

This is not it, not talking about it means not talking about it, and that's it. Think of other ways.

The problem now is that tutoring classes don't wait for people!

Where does the money come from? It's truly worrying.

The reason Tian Tian's mom asked the matchmaker to hide the situation at home first is because she thought her daughter was so excellent that if someone took a fancy to her, they as parents definitely couldn't drag their daughter down...

Otherwise, many families would probably not agree when they heard about the things in this family.

Just as she was speaking, a boy with a height of 1.7 meters came out of the room. He smiled and revealed dimples on his cheeks: "Sister, don't worry about the tutoring class, I can learn it myself."

"Besides, I plan to take the teacher exam for the junior high school in our town after graduating from university. It will be convenient to take care of our parents then. It doesn't matter if it's a first-tier or 211."

If the tuition fee for the junior college wasn't too expensive, he would have wanted to say that a junior college would be fine.

Tian Tian shook her head: "I saw someone specifically talking about this application, saying that the teaching industry is very competitive now. There are several or a dozen normal universities in one province, and the academic requirements for teachers are getting higher and higher, and it's tiring..."

Tian Tian's mom felt sour in her heart and couldn't help but hate: "If it weren't for the fact that our bodies are not competitive..."

"It's okay! Mom, why do you think so much? Taking care of your body with my dad is better than anything."

"Besides, I didn't go in vain today. There is an Old Song family in their Yunqiao Village. I heard that the girl in that family graduated from university and is very capable!"

"She went home to pack the mountain and spent tens of millions. Experts who have been on CCTV have personally guided the farming! In the hot weather, a jin of watermelon sells for twenty, and there are plenty of people to grab it."

"My mom!"

Tian Tian's mom instantly widened her eyes: "Really or fake?"

"Really! I ate that watermelon. If I had money, let alone twenty a jin, I would be willing to buy it for forty a jin!"

Tian Tian's mom reacted: "You ate it? That family treated you? That's quite thoughtful, why didn't it work?"

According to Tian Tian's mom's simple thinking: the blind date performance was thoughtful, proving that their family was very sincere, so why didn't it work? Where didn't it work?

"The person is not okay."

"The uncle and aunt in that family are quite good. They were very enthusiastic to me, kept adding dishes during the meal, and the house was also very carefully tidied up—it was really quite good."

From the perspective of the family, such parents-in-law are really good.

But...

Tian Tian told the truth: "That man doesn't have much eye for things, and he doesn't seem to be able to work very well, and his interpersonal skills are a bit poor—and he is determined to stay in Beicheng, so that definitely won't work."

Tian Tian's mom still felt a little regretful: "Boys, being a bit honest and simple is fine... The matchmaker said his family is reasonable and generous, not the kind of picky person."

Tian Tian still shook her head: "It really won't work. It's not a question of being honest, it's not being attentive."

"I heard that he can earn more than ten thousand a month in Beicheng, and he does sales work, but he doesn't know how to look at people's faces or interpersonal skills at all—that must be not attentive."

"If he is not attentive to his own parents and hometown, can he look up to me? Can he take care of the family? I don't think he can even take care of his own family... Forget it."

Tian Tian's mom sighed.

Then Tian Tian shook her phone: "I happened to meet someone who drives an excavator in their family today and left a phone number. I will contact them slowly later to see if I can learn something and point out a way, so that we can earn some money at home ourselves." ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
