Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1265. Secretary's Complaint

There was a stranger in the village, and the Song family finally had a new employee, but...

This is nothing rare.

It rained heavily for days, the water in the rivers and ponds rose, and the fluffy young grass in the pasture became greener day by day.

  The villagers were concerned about the planning of their own vegetable plots, and Party Secretary Xiao Zhu called them to meetings three times a day... he was busy!

Everybody is busy!

I have absolutely no time to worry about strangers.

The only one who showed some concern was Party Secretary Xiao Zhu: "How is the new employee? I heard he has a child."

  "Very good." Aunt Lianhua said:

"She lives in my mother-in-law's old house. When it rains, she stays home with the children to clean the house. When it stops raining, she carries the children to the back hills to get familiar with the environment... She looks like a hardworking person, but she is not good at talking, so she seems honest."

"The child is quite obedient and rarely cries, but he looks weak... But this is normal. The mother didn't take good care of herself, so the nutrition she fed to the child must not be enough."

"My mother-in-law said that I should persuade him to buy some milk powder for him when he earns some money. Otherwise, if he gets sick due to poor immunity, medical treatment will be much more expensive than milk powder."

Not to mention, ever since she was able to earn money, Aunt Lianhua's mother-in-law has spoken with extra confidence and insight.

Now let’s think about what she said - it is indeed true!

Song Tan also added: "She really works hard and honestly. It rained so hard last night, and we originally told her to rest for two days before starting work, but she ended up getting a raincoat and rain boots and went into the vegetable field."

The child fell asleep in the middle of the night, which did not interfere with her work.

I tied a small stool around my waist under my raincoat, and after entering the vegetable garden, I found a suitable spot and sat down, brushing without stopping.

"When it comes to preparing vegetables, she's even more skillful than Chen Yuan and the others. I heard that she used to set up a stall to sell vegetables in Mingcheng, so she must be very experienced."

Secretary Zhu was also happy: "As long as she is diligent, we have no shortage of jobs that can earn money this year. As long as she is capable, she will definitely earn a lot."

Song Tan looked at Secretary Xiao Zhu and said, "Why do I feel like you've lost weight again? What's wrong? Haven't you explained clearly about growing vegetables?"

Secretary Xiao Zhu's face suddenly wrinkled: "This job is not easy!"

But it's okay.

It was not easy to advance rural work in the first place. She has been in the village for a year now, and with the support of Old Song's vegetable seedlings, although everyone has doubts about concentrated vegetable planting, considering that it is just a matter of replacing the original home-cooked vegetable seedlings and it will not affect anything, most of the work has been done.

Secretary Xiao Zhu sighed: "In fact, thanks to the rise of short videos, everyone in the village loves watching videos now, and they can get to know some news that they have never been exposed to before."

“I told them that the crew was coming and that many people would have to buy food and drinks from the village, and many of them understood.”

The difference is whether your family grows tomatoes, my family grows eggplants, or his family grows peppers...

After all, we are not sure what kind of vegetables others buy. What if they buy more peppers than tomatoes?

Doesn’t that mean other people are earning more?

We argued about this for a long time, and almost went back to the situation where you grow your own crops and I grow mine.

  But if that's really the case - instead of purchasing from each household, it would be better for their crew to make a special appointment with the vegetable vendors in the town to deliver vegetables on a regular basis!

But fortunately, now everyone has basically reached an understanding, and the contract for the wasteland has been signed -

"Tsk, I was just worried that someone would raise the price, and there really is one!"

"Fortunately, I didn't mention it to the crew first. I just let them sign it or not. If they don't sign, they won't make any money. I won't look for them next time I have a chance..." Actually, this is also risky.

Many villagers have stubborn tempers, and the rent for the land is not much. If you really get anxious, they might just give up and not make the money.

But Secretary Xiao Zhu at least understood his personality and had a clear goal in mind, so even though it was just a simple job of taking pictures of weeds, she also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

  At this moment, Secretary Xiao Zhu became proud:

"Some people are naturally timid and don't dare to take risks. I can understand that. But some people know there are other ways, but they insist on doing it and even influence others..."

"After your family sells the first crop of vegetable seedlings this year, I want to see who will be the first to give in..."

"So when I was doing my job, I didn't cooperate and complained. But when they come to me for help, I have to work hard without complaint?"

  More than a year of rural life had tempered her temper. Secretary Xiao Zhu sneered:

"I must let them know what it feels like to have the God of Wealth come to their doorstep only to be driven away by their bad temper."

But she only dared to complain about this at Old Song's house. When she was out of the house, she was still the hardworking and patient cow...

Secretary Xiao Zhu sighed.

  Song Tan absolutely agreed with this!

When I registered to plant her vegetable seedlings a few years ago, she was still grumbling and hesitant.

  The contract was there, and as long as it was signed, there would be no problem with the acquisition - was she begging everyone to plant it?

Although everyone signed and agreed to help with the work in exchange for the qualification to buy seedlings, there were still many people who had objections.

Tian Tian has complained countless times behind his back - she is willing to work for the Song family for free for a year, as long as Song Tan agrees to use all her savings to buy vegetable seedlings...

Of course, it didn’t work out.

But the villagers were murmuring behind her back, and Wulan was also angry. When she came back, she made up her mind:

  I will never sell too many of these seedlings in the future!

Otherwise, what are they trying to gain by repaying kindness with kindness and resenting others with kindness?

……

In the cafeteria on the mountain, Liu Liu gave her daughter a ball of soft white radish. Watching her slowly sucking on it, she felt very happy.

Tonight's dish was pork ribs stewed with white radish. The meat was tender and the seasoning was not too strong. The child was able to eat a little complementary food, so she gave him a ball of radish.

"Can she eat when she's so young?"

Liu Ning watched from the side with a frown.

"Yes." Liu Liu laughed. "I can't take care of the child by myself. Ranran was raised in a rough way and has stuffed everything in her mouth... Besides, the radish is not even as big as a fingernail. She can do it."

After that, he couldn't help but drink a bowl of soup, and then said to Liu Ning: "Thank you for finding me such a good job."

It is indeed a bit troublesome to work in the rain, but for Liu Liu, who also had to harvest vegetables on a tricycle in the rain in the middle of the night, it was not a problem at all.

And because it took a long time to collect the vegetables and deliver them to the market, she didn't even dare to leave her children at home - but that's different now.

I only work for two hours at night, and Ranran always sleeps soundly, so it doesn't delay anything.

Update 1, update 2 will be later.
