Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1297. A Match Made in Heaven

The live broadcast room made people scream with greed, and then it was ruthlessly shut down.

  The spicy and crispy pork ribs with pounded peppers eaten at noon on the mountain were delicious. Except for Liu Liu who was not completely weaned and Brother Stomach Surgery who didn't dare to eat them, the rest of them ate them with great enthusiasm.

The girl who used to be as quiet as a chrysanthemum ordered a big plate and then ate it all slowly.

When she slowly took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, everyone at the table looked at her - how could someone so thin, so gentle and pretty, yet eat so much!

Nian Xu, who wanted to gain weight, asked curiously, "You eat so slowly, can you eat more this way?"

Sister Danran said calmly: "No, it's because I'm naturally slow. And my brain power is used up and I get hungry very quickly."

That's true.

Those who have never used it don’t know. After overexerting themselves, the whole brain is buzzing, and the internal organs seem to have disappeared, leaving only the stomach roaring...

Regardless of their educational background or whether they had any, none of the people here had engineering backgrounds. At this moment, they only looked at the boss with admiration and asked earnestly, "Do you want to eat more?"

Sister Danran shook her head and frowned as delicately as Lin Daiyu: "I really want to eat mugwort cakes!"

As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.

  Who doesn’t want to eat!

Just now, they were all watching the live broadcast with their mobile phones, and they didn’t miss even the sleep-deprived years. But... the more they watched, the more greedy they became, especially since they had attended the pig-killing banquet!

If he wasn't afraid of affecting his work, he really wanted to rush down the mountain and throw out a lot of money -

"I bought mugwort cakes and mugwort buns!"

But the reality is that they can only eat more in the cafeteria.

Only Liu Liu had never tasted anything good. At the moment, he was only concerned about one thing: "Can I do that, picking mugwort buds and houttuynia cordata?"

Nian Xu frowned and looked at the child in her arms: "You can't do this with a child on your back, right?"

"I think if you really do this, the boss will agree. But the child is crying and making a fuss, asking for food and drink...it will definitely delay work."

"Sister Liu, think about it again. If you bring a child to work here, other people will also bring their children to work here. It's not that I won't take care of you, but I'm afraid it will have a bad influence and it will be difficult to manage other employees in the future."

This is also the reason why there are many dormitories on the mountain, but there is no unoccupied four-person room allocated to Liu Liu.

Nian Xu spoke directly. Although he had not worked much, he had been exposed to management since he was a child and had some experience in management:

"When my family used to rent a house, we could get a lower price for single-parent families with children. But later, people spread the word, and the rent collection for that building has become less active than before."

People are like that. They are not worried about scarcity but inequality.

As a woman, the self-taught sister knows that life is not easy, so she came up with another idea:

"Sister, I see you work very efficiently. Why don't you sign up and try it out? If you can pick the same amount of fruit as others even with your children, why not earn some money?"

"If the gap between you and others is a bit big, either you have to ask someone to take care of your child, or you have to take care of your health."

Liu Liu's strength is that he listens to advice.

When she first came to work, she listened to advice, and after spending some time with everyone, she still listened to advice.

At this moment, he nodded: "Okay! I'll sign up and try it out on the first day."

"If there is a big gap between my child and others, I will entrust the child to the old lady in the yard. Anyway, it will be time to pick tea in a few days, so I will entrust the child to her anyway."

She was just used to saving money and thought that every bit she could save was a bit.

The monthly fee for childcare is 1000 yuan, and the old lady didn't ask for a high price, but it's still more than 30 yuan a day, enough to pay for her mobile phone bill in a month. But what Nian Xu said makes sense, the salary here is not high, but the food and accommodation are provided, and the life is good. If she loses her job because of trying to take advantage, it will be a loss.

Thinking of this, Liu Liu did not hesitate: "Forget it! I will discuss it directly with my mother-in-law and entrust the child to her."

"It just gives us two years to adapt. I heard that when we pick tea, we can't just work for three days and rest for two days."

Sister Danran also nodded: "Yes, whether it is from the long-term perspective or your health and the health of the child, leaving the child with someone else during the day is the best solution."

As for things like children's early education, habit formation, or mental health... those are things that can only be achieved by families with the conditions.

All Liu Liu wants now is to survive and to ensure the survival of both mother and daughter.

When she was a child, there was no one at home to look after the children, so they were raised roughly and were simply tied to the legs of the table.

After she made the decision, she looked at her colleagues from all over the world and thought to herself that she was very lucky to have met such good people.

……

Meanwhile, Wu Lan soon received a message from Liu Liu and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy to be a mother! Tan Tan, I agree now."

Song Tan nodded: "Agree!"

At the end of the year, their family gives down jackets and leather trousers to the elderly in the village, which is similar to the special treatment that Master Jiang gives to Liu Liu's children. They don't seek anything for it, they just want to lend a hand.

Moreover, someone as capable as Liu Liu can come forward on his own. Now that he is willing to work, they naturally cannot refuse.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "As long as the weight she picks is similar to that of others, she can take care of the children."

As he spoke, he recalled the past and couldn't help laughing: "I remember when you were a child, you went to the fields with my dad to plant rice, and he put me on the ridge of the field."

At that time, the farming season was busy and no one was idle in every household. She was worried about leaving the child at home. As a result, one day when she came home, she found the child picking leeches on his legs...

Thinking back to the past, Wulan couldn't help but sigh: "It's hard for the poor."

Lu Chuan listened silently, and said at this moment: "I often sat in the vegetable market when I was a child."

"It's hard for my mother to find a job with her children, and we don't have much money. We rented an old, run-down apartment in a village in the city, and it was full of good and bad people."

"She started out as a clerk in a dried fruit shop and couldn't bring the kids over, so she asked me to wait outside."

Outside is a street with a vegetable market, and Lu Chuan sits there all day long.

But he was born with a patient temper and loved to watch all kinds of people. He couldn't afford to go to the kindergarten where other children were, so he just quietly observed them. Even when Lu Jing changed jobs later, his habit didn't change.

This was the first time Wulan had heard of this—Lu Jing had vaguely mentioned it before, but everyone just let it go. After all, the mother and son spent money as if it was free, so how could you tell that they had a hard life when they were young?

Now that I say this——

Don't say it!

  The old mother instantly felt that they were closer! They were both poor children! What do you call this? This is called being well matched!

So he said happily: "What a coincidence, Tantan has never been to kindergarten. At that time, the children in the village were free to go, so there was no time to send them to the kindergarten in town!"

Song Tan: ...

  It doesn't matter if I haven't been to kindergarten, but why are you speaking so proudly? If you don't know, you would think I got a kindergarten diploma!
