Song Tan's Notes

The new employee couldn't come so quickly, but Liu Ning was already used to efficiency being king. When the rain stopped in the evening, Aunt Lianhua suddenly said:

"The kid who's the security guard on the mountain said he wanted to rent my house for 1200 yuan a year."

"Hmm?" Old Song's family members became interested: "Is it your house or your mother-in-law's house?"

Aunt Lianhua laughed and said, "It must be my mother-in-law's house. That house is separate and convenient to live in."

Many houses in the village are like this - the houses where the older generation lives will be slowly divided up as the children grow up and start their own families.

The children who have started their own families will tear down the old houses and rebuild them.

Therefore, you can often see such households in the village - on one side is an old house, which is small in size but has all the necessary facilities.

The other side was flipped over later, and it is obviously much larger and more fashionable.

The house that Aunt Lianhua is talking about now is such an old house.

My mother-in-law had been living there, but since she became paralyzed, we simply moved her here for easier care.

Later, the family gradually broke up, and the mother and daughter depended on each other here. No one had lived there for several years.

Wu Lan thought: "I think we can rent it out! Your old house is just sitting there anyway. If no one lives in it, it will fall apart soon. You might as well rent it out. 1200 yuan is still money."

Aunt Lianhua also nodded: "I was thinking the same thing. I'll go back tonight and discuss it with my mother-in-law. By the way, Tantan, Liu Ning said that his cousin rented a house in order to work here. Is that true?"

Song Tan nodded: "Yes, harvesting vegetables at night. Her child is only six months old, and she can't find a job with him."

"Taking care of the children..." Aunt Lianhua murmured, and she had probably made a decision in her heart.

So, when Liu Liu squeezed onto the train with her suitcase the next day, she received news from her cousin:

[I have rented a house. There is a bus service in the village. You can see it when you get out of the train station. Have you packed it? ]

Liu Liu exclaimed, obviously not expecting the efficiency to be so high. But after his cousin retired from the army, he heard that he still gets tens of thousands of yuan in subsidies every year, and his current job benefits are also very good...

  It can't be a pyramid scheme, right?

She hadn't seen Liu Ning for two or three years, and her heart was pounding at the moment. She even couldn't believe it for a moment.

  But a moment later, Liu Ning had sent her the rental contract and also took photos of the house:

"We'll clean it up today. When you come, just make the bed and you can move in directly."

The contract looked very formal, and the house was indeed just as he said, an old house in the village.

  If it is really a pyramid scheme, would it be so detailed?

Liu Liu felt slightly relieved.

A moment later she sent a message: "Then I'll give you the rent money when I get there."

But Liu Ning refused: "No thanks. You need money right now, don't bother with a few thousand dollars."

"It's a good job here. Although the salary of 1300 is not high, you can eat well and sleep well. If you have energy during the day, you can also take on other work."

"It makes a lot of money."

He was a man of few words after all, and he managed to utter these few words with great difficulty, but in the end he didn't know what to say, so he just left it at that.

But Liu Liu was naturally delicate, and this sentence made her think for a long time——

  What other work can you get in the village during the day?

Could it be that this village is a vegetable base or something, and I can earn some wages for moving and sorting vegetables during the day?

But if that were the case, why wouldn't he only work two or three hours a night?

She fell into a state of anxiety and confusion. …

The train arrived at the station at around 6 o'clock in the morning. At that time, Liu Ning was still working the night shift and had no time to go to the city to pick up people.

But when Liu Liu and her child got off the car at the village entrance, he had just finished get off work.

Chen Yuan simply handed over the tricycle key: "Help them settle down as soon as possible, don't delay breakfast."

Liu Ning nodded and rode his tricycle. After a while, he saw the mother and daughter standing on the roadside at the entrance of the village, looking helpless and panicked.

He couldn't help but sigh, and then shouted loudly: "Sister!"

Seeing his appearance, Liu Liu was surprised: "Liu Ning?! Why do I feel like you seem to have gained weight..."

It's not just that he's fat, but the feeling he gives people is different from before - even his spirit and energy have changed.

  Liu Ning: …the intensity of their exercise has decreased, but they eat better, causing them to gain weight quickly. This is a pain for the entire security team!

He avoided the terrible topic and instead took over Liu Liu's heavy boxes and backpack. Then he looked at Ran Ran who was staring at him obediently.

Then he frowned: "Why do you look so thin?"

Look at Liu Liu again - the weight she gained from pregnancy and childbirth has not yet gone away, but her complexion is sallow and her expression is haggard, and she is not in much better condition.

Liu Ning took a deep breath and urged, "Hurry up and get in the car. I'll send your luggage back and take you to the cafeteria for dinner. Eat more."

"And Ranran, I made some steamed egg custard this morning, so take her to have a bite too - can she eat egg custard now?"

"Yes!" Liu Liu said happily, "Your food is really good! You made egg custard early in the morning!"

"Just take Ranran there..."

She became confused: They said that food and accommodation were provided, but they didn’t say that I had to have another child!

Liu Ning said, "Our captain has talked to the boss, and the boss said that children under three years old can eat whatever they want."

"Not only the children eat egg custard, you have to eat more too... At the end of the month, the boss's family will pick tea leaves, 150 a day - this should be enough for taking the children to pick!"

"In the summer, we pick fruits, pack and ship them, collect rushes, weave straw mats, and harvest wheat..."

"All these jobs are hiring, but if you are not in good health and can't do it, or your nutrition is not enough, you will just watch the big money fly away!"

Liu Liu: ...

What summer and autumn are too far away, she just asked positively: "Is tea picking really 150 a day? Will it affect me carrying my child?"

Liu Ning said as a matter of course: "As long as you pick as much as they do, it will be fine - I remember you used to be a tea picker!"

Liu Liu instantly gained confidence: "Well! I picked tea very quickly. At that time, the money was calculated by kilogram. I could get the most every day!"

The tricycle sped along the undulating hillside towards the cafeteria, while Liu Liu held the child in one hand and held the handrail tightly with the other, silently calculating in her mind -

[150 a day, 4500 a month, plus 1300 for harvesting vegetables…]

  Although I don’t know if I have the physical strength to make it through, these are not strenuous tasks and are even easier than before in the city!

After all, she was selling vegetables at a stall, so she had to get up early in the morning to prepare.

  Liu Liu made up his mind instantly - he must eat more for three meals a day and must not delay making money!
