Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1231. So many? [Two in one]

Qiao Qiao rode the tricycle with familiarity, full of enthusiasm and energy even before having breakfast.

The tricycle was humming along the mountain. Chen Xi, who was only carrying a backpack in the bed, was feeling extremely complicated.

Because Qiao Qiao, who was driving in front of him, also looked like...

He was a little hesitant. The other party spoke with a child's tone, but his logic and actions were quick and mature, which made him unsure for a moment.

Looking at Chen Chi again, he was looking around curiously. When he saw Chen Xi looking at him, he grinned and said, "Brother, I'm hungry."

Just as Chen Xi was about to speak, he heard Qiao Qiao in front of him shouting, "We can eat soon!"

"The food cooked by our chef in the mountain is super super super delicious!"

"I heard they were making stir-fried pork and radish and braised chicken with potatoes this morning! They must be delicious!"

He spoke with great confidence and was incredibly infectious. At least Chen Chi had opened his mouth wide and saliva was visible.

Only Chen Xi was a little puzzled: "Eat this in the morning?"

"Yeah!" Qiao Qiao nodded heavily: "Recently, everyone has been doing physical work, which is very tiring, so Master Jiang said that three meals a day are hard dishes - if you are not so tired, you can have noodles, porridge, steamed buns, rolls, and dumplings in the morning..."

"Brother, what do you like to eat?"

"Do you like spicy food? The chili pork buns made by Master Jiang are super delicious, just a little spicy. When you take a bite, the gravy and the bun skin mix together. They are so soft and bouncy!"

“The chicken with potatoes is delicious too.”

"The potatoes were cooked so soft in the chicken soup that they melted in one sip. The chicken was so tender, the drumsticks were delicious, the wings were delicious, and the chicken nuggets were delicious too!"

"And dip the tortillas in the chicken soup...Wow! I want to eat it too!"

Qiao Qiao secretly made up his mind: he would eat a bowl of food on the mountain before going back!

After hearing such a detailed description, who who hasn’t eaten can endure the torture?

Chen Xi could still hold back, but Chen Chi had already clung to the railing tightly, his eyes filled with "food food food food meat meat meat meat meat..."

He could only hold down his hungry brother, for he was really afraid that he would jump down boldly.

After all, this colorful macaron car in front of you is indeed quite small.

But, although Daduo was small, he was powerful enough, and soon Qiao Qiao brought them to the mountain.

The factory has not started operation yet and is now fenced off by Chen Yuan and others, but the cafeteria is bustling with activity.

There were a bunch of farm tools at the door. People who had eaten and drunk enough came out in groups of three or four, chatting and talking. When they saw Qiao Qiao leading two strangers, they greeted them:

"Qiao Qiao, are you recruiting new people?"

Qiao Qiao also nodded heavily and answered very seriously: "Yes! My sister said she would take them to eat first."

"Eat, eat."

The uncle who was speaking waved his hand and said, "You have to eat more corn tortillas soaked in chicken soup. They are delicious."

Another auntie laughed: "Qiao Qiao, go back and tell your mother, we are all from the same village, how can you make such a good breakfast? It's not necessary so early in the morning..."

“Yes!”

Qiao Qiao smiled and said, "Aunt, you are very tired from working. Master Jiang said that you must eat enough to have strength. You can eat two more bowls, and then plant more crops..."

As soon as this was said, everyone around burst into laughter.

"Good boy, is your brain really that stupid or is it just pretending? Eat more and work more, right?"

Qiao Qiao started to laugh, and Chen Xi beside him looked at him intently, without moving his eyes. When Qiao Qiao finished speaking, he looked at Chen Chi again, and the uncertainty in his heart became stronger.

He paused for a moment, then took out his phone to send a message to Chen Yuan.

"Chen Xi!" someone called him in the crowd.

When Chen Xi came to his senses, he saw Chen Yuan striding out of a small building next to him.

His hair was still short, but he was in high spirits. He looked very sunny, and even his strides were firm and generous...

He looked nothing like the Chen Yuan he had met in the hospital.

He couldn't help but move his eyes downwards, only to see Chen Yuan in long trousers and sneakers, unable to tell anything at the moment, and just slapped him hard:

"How come you came so quickly? I just sent you a message yesterday, and I thought you wouldn't make a decision until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest - how come you're here right away? And why haven't you contacted me yet?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but smile, and was too embarrassed to say that he had taken Chen Chi away from his hometown on impulse.

At this moment, he just looked at the lively environment around him, and then asked: "That's my brother Chen Chi, can he... do it here?"

Chen Yuan did not give a 100% guarantee. He just glanced at Chen Chi, then patted his arm. Feeling that it was not soft underneath, he felt happy.

"With this physique, it would be a shame if he didn't work!"

Then he answered Chen Xi's question: "It depends on Boss Song's opinion."

"But even if Chen Chi is not selected, if you want to work here, you can rent a house for him to stay in. It should be better than at home."

"Brother Chen Yuan!" Qiao Qiao came over at this moment, humming:

"Don't talk. My sister told me to talk about work and salary. How delicious are the tortillas this morning?"

Chen Yuan laughed out loud, and his face showed a cheerful smile that Chen Xi had not seen for a long time.

"It's delicious. You can eat a few more. Okay, I'll leave this introduction to you, Qiao Qiao. But the job of the big brother next to you has to wait for your sister to confirm."

Qiao Qiao shook her head and said, "Sister said that we can't tell by looking. After we have eaten, I will take them to the riverbank and do some work to find out."

After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Chen Chi and asked in a low voice: "Is it the same as me? If I can do it, he should be able to do it too."

Chen Xi was stunned and looked at Qiao Qiao again.

Chen Yuan laughed again: "I think it can work - Qiao Qiao, I'll leave it to you, you can interview in person - I'll serve you some chicken soup? How many pancakes do you want?"

  He led the three of them to the cafeteria, greeted Master Jiang with familiarity, then took out a plate from the disinfection cabinet and gave one to each of them:

"Chen Xi, Chen Chi, serve yourself what you want to eat, don't waste it!"

Chen Xi looked at Chen Chi, only to see that his brother was staring at the pot of stewed chicken with potatoes, unable to move his eyes away.

……

The food in this restaurant is really solid!

Chen Xi, who was holding a big spoon to serve food to his younger brother, looked at the spoon full of meat and a few potatoes, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, Chen Yuan looked over and laughed: "It's not like the whole pot is full of meat. I guess the potatoes are so delicious that they picked them all up."

"Qiao Qiao, do you want chicken or potatoes?"

Qiao Qiao raised her finger: "I want half and half."

"Okay!" Chen Yuan quickly served him food. Now he looked at Chen Chi's plate and was stunned: "Chen Xi, does your brother eat so little?"

When Chen Xi saw it, he was also stunned.

There were only a few potatoes and two pieces of meat on Chen Chi's plate.

He couldn't help but look at Chen Chi.

"Didn't you say you were hungry? That's all you ate."

Chen Chi's good appetite has never diminished.

But the other party hesitated for a moment, then looked around and whispered: "But if I eat too much meat, my mother will beat me." This time, Chen Xi and Chen Yuan were speechless.

Only Qiao Qiao sighed and said seriously: "You are stupid! Why don't you run? And your mother is not here, how can she beat you?"

  Then he held the plate and said disappointedly:

"My mother was different. She wouldn't let me run and even beat me with sticks."

  It happened that an uncle next to me had just finished his meal and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:

"Qiao Qiao, you are talking nonsense. I will tell your mother about this later! When you were a kid, she used a stick to whip you twice because you didn't obey her. Your sister was also whipped... Have you ever been whipped when you grew up?"

Qiao Qiao snorted: "I'm so obedient, my sister praises me every day, how could I be naughty when I was a child?"

"It must be that Mom wants to beat me."

This time, even Chen Yuan laughed.

On the other hand, Chen Chi was standing there with a plate in his hand, looking at Qiao Qiao with shining eyes full of admiration.

"You are so awesome!"

"Of course!" Qiao Qiao puffed out his chest, picked up the spoon and filled it with meat.

"Come, I'll serve you some! As long as you don't waste anything, no one will beat you."

After that, he clenched his fist again: "But if you waste it, I will hit you. My hitting is super painful."

Chen Chi also smiled innocently: "Then I won't hit you. It hurts a lot when I hit people. My brother told me not to hit you."

Qiao Qiao sighed: "My sister said the same thing..."

The two brothers gathered together and started talking in a whisper, while Chen Xi looked at Chen Yuan, then at Qiao Qiao: "He..."

Chen Yuan paused, then nodded: "Yeah, similar to Chen Chi, but he was taught very well at home."

"It's because of him that I thought of introducing you guys here to give it a try."

He said it in a low-key manner, but Chen Xi was shocked and said, "How could he be taught so well? Did he go to some tutoring institution? Or something? I really didn't see it at first."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Don't talk about you, I didn't see it at first."

"When he's serious, he even looks very mature. However, his family loves children and has put a lot of thought into training Qiao Qiao."

"Now I have a tutor at home."

Chen Xi calmed down, and at this moment he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's true, this condition is not something that most people can provide."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao turned back and said, "Are you talking about me? I have become very smart now!"

Chen Chi nodded repeatedly, obviously recognizing Qiao Qiao.

"Brother Chen Chi is not as smart as I am now. If he wants to be like me, he has to study hard."

No one would hate such an innocent child, even if he has the height and appearance of an adult.

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Okay. When I make some money, I'll try to find a teacher who can teach me."

“You don’t have to make a lot of money.”

Qiao Qiao was puzzled: "Teacher Xin teaches online courses. You can buy all the courses for one dollar...but you have to do your homework seriously."

Chen Xi was a little confused and a little bit unbelieving:

"Teacher Xin is..."

Chen Yuan patted his shoulder in surprise and said, "I'll ask for you later! Teacher Xin is Qiao Qiao's tutor. Although he is young, he teaches very well."

……

The three of them took their plates and found a table to sit down. The villagers who were supposed to work had already left, and now there were only a few people left in the cafeteria.

  Qiao Qiao soaked the cornmeal cake in chicken soup, waited for a while, then pinched it out and bit it off in one bite!

Then he shook his head and said with satisfaction: "It smells so good! Although it's not as delicious as the one we have at home...but it's still delicious."

"That's true."

Chen Yuan had already eaten and was now sitting there looking at him, thinking of the unforgettable breakfast he had that morning. If it weren't for his strong self-control at the moment, his saliva would have overflowed.

But we should be content with the food we have now.

  He shook his head and drew his attention back:

"By the way, Qiao Qiao, while we're eating, you can talk to them about the salary and job content."

"Ok!"

Qiao Qiao put down the pancake and started counting with his fingers.

"I remember it very well - first of all, we have to talk about the salary, which includes food and accommodation, five insurances and one housing fund, and the total amount is about 4000 yuan."

4000?

Chen Xi calculated: if food and accommodation were included, this salary would be quite a lot. Although he had some savings after returning, the two brothers were still young and did not plan to spend more easily.

Qiao Qiao showed his second finger: "Then it's work time - there's no work time, we just live on the ranch, work when there's work, and rest when there's no work."

"But if something happens at night, you still have to get up and work at night."

"Working is a lot of miscellaneous work, and the content of the work is very wide."

Chen Xi had heard Chen Yuan talk about this, and Qiao Qiao had said a lot about it, but in fact, it can be divided into two categories, that is, working with the old employees on the ranch to take care of the pigs, cattle and sheep, shoveling manure to ferment manure, taking care of the grass, etc.

Although not having exact working hours is a bit inconvenient, it doesn't sound very stressful.

He nodded, ready to listen to the rest.

However, Qiao Qiao had already withdrawn his hand: "No more!"

No more?

Chen Xi was stunned, and looked at Chen Chi again: "Then he..."

Qiao Qiao glanced at him and said, "I just said that we have to watch Brother Chen Chi work before we know if it's okay. We can't say yes right now."

"I can do it!" Chen Chi straightened his chest and said, "I have done a lot of work. I am very good at it. Besides, I am very strong and I am not afraid of getting tired!"

"but……"

He hesitated: "Will it be enough to eat? How often can I eat meat?"

"The uncle who used to carry the garbage said that we were losing money and it was difficult to support us, so we could only eat chicken legs once a month."

Qiao Qiao instantly became proud: "That must be because your uncle doesn't know how to make money. My sister is different. She is really good at it! We have meat every day!"

"Even if there's not enough meat, you can buy it yourself if you have a salary of 4000!"

Chen Chi had no idea about the 4000 yuan salary, but he looked forward to having meat every day.

"So many?" He looked down at the pile of broken bones on the plate.

"So many!" Qiao Qiao nodded heavily.

Chen Chi immediately took a big mouthful of rice and said, "Then I can definitely do it!"

Chen Xi was stunned.

It’s not because of the same 4000 salary, nor is it because of the meat.

It was because this was the first time he met Chen Chi who was so proactive and talkative.

Come on, come on!!! Good night!!!
