Chapter 630: Two Tea Eggs

Zhu Xin's egg successfully set off a battle of saliva in the dormitory—true saliva.

What followed was the suddenly soaring sales in Song Tan's shop. It was also thanks to the fact that the packaging of the braising spice bags hadn't stopped during this period; they were listed as soon as they were sold out, and listed as soon as they were sold out... otherwise, they might have been out of stock again.

For example, that cooling tea, wasn't it out of stock again before the houttuynia was dried?

And at this moment, Tian Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally was willing to put down his hoe. Tian Tian on the side was still reminding him:

"Tian Ye, stop working; the teacher said before to let you go to class at nine o'clock, and it's already past nine."

Tian Ye took a sip of water, and at this moment, walked to the edge of the pond, and squatted down to help his sister dig houttuynia:

"No rush, I'll do a bit more work; their family's tea bag is out of stock, so I have to hurry."

Seeing Tian Tian urging him again, he had to add another sentence: "The teachers are communicating with the engineering team about the water channel and road today, so they should be busy right now."

Tian Tian then gave up.

Although working in the hot weather is hard, the pay is not low, and most importantly, it's close to home; it only takes ten minutes to ride a bike, and she is full of motivation every day now.

Song Tan's family is short of this houttuynia, and she works until her eyes are blurred every day before going back. I heard that in a while, she can come to help with other things!

And Tian Ye put the houttuynia in his hand into the basket, hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Sister, I heard their family is recruiting a cook for the construction site, 4000 yuan a month... do you think Mom can come and do it?"

This summer vacation, Tian Ye was much more mature than in the past, and even his planning for the family was much clearer.

His sister earns two hundred a day, the family has no expenses, and although he didn't earn money, he could find that his English grades were improving every time he went back to do test papers at night, and he even had clearer ideas about his learning direction.

The tuition for public high school is not expensive, and a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses is enough. Stick with it for two more years, and when he gets into college, he can work summer jobs. I heard that if you work hard, you can completely cover your living expenses and tuition...

Although he had to plan bit by bit, Tian Ye never felt that life had so much to look forward to, and he could even calculate clearly when he could pay off the debt at the latest!

Furthermore...

He pursed his lips, looking at Tian Tian, who was tanned darker and whose cheeks were flushed red.

The family dragged down his sister's marriage, but... he would work harder in the future!

Isn't this it? 4000 yuan is just for cooking and preparing meals; he knows his parents' personalities, and it's hard not to be moved.

Tian Tian shook her head.

"Don't look at it as just cooking and preparing meals, but it's so hot, and cooking for fifteen or twenty people is not an easy job... Mom's body hasn't been fully nurtured yet; I know she is also worried about earning money, but it's really not something to rush for a moment."

"You can't mention this when you go back."

Tian Ye was silent for a while, then said guiltily: "I just thought Mom would be happy to know there's work to do..."

"I know..." Tian Tian was just about to say something when someone called her from the mountain:

"It's ten o'clock, aren't you going back yet?"

It was the excavator brother Sun Ziqiang.

Tian Tian wiped her sweat and looked at the time: It was indeed ten o'clock. But she felt okay today, so she also said loudly:

"Brother Sun, this work isn't tiring; I'll go back in a while."

Sun Ziqiang, who had just gotten off the excavator and was almost steamed silly by the high temperature:...

What work isn't tiring? Standing under the sun in this weather and breathing is a kind of hardship.

He impatiently "tsk"ed: "If I tell you to go, go; why so much nonsense? Song Tan specifically instructed me to let you not stay in the fields for too long."

"If you get heatstroke later and ruin your body, it won't be worth the loss—you don't want to have a chronic illness at a young age, right?"

Tian Tian was still about to say something, but hearing the words "chronic illness," Tian Ye instantly pulled her up and directly snatched the basket on the side:

"Exactly! Sister, let's go back!"

Tian Tian couldn't laugh or cry: "Go, go, go, but let me rinse the mud off this houttuynia by the pond first."

This way, it would be convenient and save water when cleaning at home.

The siblings were talking when Sun Ziqiang, who hadn't seen them move for a long time on the mountain, became anxious, and at this moment, he strode down:

"Told you to go, why don't you listen?"

Looking at the muddy houttuynia in her basket again, he understood. At this moment, he snatched the basket from Tian Ye's hand: "Hurry up. Finish it and then go back."

He had great strength and was used to doing work, and at this moment, he carried the basket to the edge of the pond in two or three steps, and without a second thought, poured the houttuynia back into the water.

The three of them squatted there rubbing and washing, and in a while, they fished out a basket of fresh houttuynia again.

Tian Tian was still a bit embarrassed:

"Sorry to trouble you; your own work is also hard, and you still have to come and help us."

"What's this?" She was so polite that Sun Ziqiang felt a bit uncomfortable. He scratched his head:

"Every family has its difficulties. Although your family owes debt, people are fine, and there will be a day when the debt is paid off, right? This matter can't be rushed; if you rush and ruin your body, that's what's not worth the loss."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a plastic bag with two tea eggs inside—

"Here, Song Tan asked me to give them to you to eat."

Ah?

Tian Tian was truly moved: "We this..."

She doesn't earn a low salary, she gets a free tutor in Tian Ye, and now she even wants to eat other people's food... Don't look at it as just two eggs; Tian Tian has seen the marinade packets in their shop, they're twenty-one yuan each, so the cost of a single tea egg alone starts at two yuan!

Thinking of this, she felt even more that working hard was the right thing to do.

Hesitating for a while, and looking at Sun Ziqiang's impatient urging look, she reached out and took the two tea eggs.

Walking and walking, she and Tian Ye divided the eggs. The eggshell was peeled off, and light brown patterns were spread on the tender white egg. One mouthful, the rich braised fragrance and egg fragrance merged, the empty stomach was satisfied, and the vague dizziness and blurred vision seemed to recede.

Picking up the water cup in the basket and taking a gulp, the feeling of fullness was truly too good!

After all, the siblings worked hard, getting up before dawn to deal with breakfast, then rushing to Song Tan's side, and then going back at noon...

This morning's hard labor was indeed quite hungry.

Because she remembered this in her heart, Tian Tian specially thanked Song Tan:

"Song Tan, you are really kind... thank you for the tea eggs."

"However, don't give them tomorrow. It was my lack of consideration before; we will boil some eggs at home and bring them tomorrow. Our family's things are expensive, and it's a bit wasteful to give them to us to eat."

Song Tan:...???

Looking at Sun Ziqiang's anxious look of winking on the side again, she instantly understood. ===== CHAPTER 631 =====
