Chapter 343 343. The unpromising Wu Lei
As for Datian’s career plan, Qiao Qiao thought for a long time and racked her brains - Teacher Xin said that when looking at anything, you should first think about the advantages.
What are the advantages of Daejeon?
It is very beautiful, with golden fur, which no other voles have. But the other animals in the house are also very beautiful.
Very smart, but there are many smart treasures in the family, even the big bear is quite smart. Big bears can fly and make honey to protect bees!
He's not big enough to scare a bird, let alone look after a home.
He thought about it again and again, and could only pick out one advantage -
"Datian...it has very powerful front teeth, and is particularly good at chewing. Is there any gnawing work? ?”
Song Tan: ...
She can’t fix this ball.
Jobs that can be chewed... What jobs require chewing?
The siblings let out a long sigh, and both began to worry.
At this moment, the car bumped up the mountain road.
Ahead is grandma’s house.
……
My uncle’s family also grows ten or twenty acres of tea, and he can make a small fortune from this every year, but it’s all hard-earned money.
For example, right now, he was still busy in front of the wok, and he couldn't stop even when Song Tan came.
Because once the machine is running, someone must be watching on both sides. This situation is extremely normal during the busy farming season, and no one would find fault with it.
On the contrary, grandma pushed grandpa to sit in the yard to enjoy the cool weather. The weather was quite hot, and a group of moths and flying insects were flying around the lamp in the yard. Grandma fanned the cattail leaf fan and patted it. A mosquito dropped.
The aunt next to me had been picking tea leaves all day, and now she had a rare moment of leisure. She quickly handed over the electric mosquito swatter next to her:
"You use this."
"No!"
Grandpa waved his hand stubbornly: "When you turn it on, it crackles like electric sparks. It sounds weird."
< br>"Besides, I'm such an old man, and I don't like mosquitoes either."
Seeing Song Tan coming, grandma quickly asked: "Have you eaten yet? Can I cook you a bowl of dumplings? Qiao Qiao also likes instant noodles. No? Grandma does.”
"No, no, no."
It was late at night, Song Tan and Qiao Qiao quickly stopped her: "We have eaten."
Then they quickly picked up the six big watermelons:
"Grandma, you're up so late, are you waiting for us!"
It's already past 9 o'clock. Normally, grandma would go to bed at eight o'clock.
"It's okay," grandma laughed: "We have nothing to do during the day, so it doesn't matter if we get up late."
My aunt helped to take over the watermelons: "Why did you bring so many? Bring two to try. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t taste good, watermelons are selling at a good price now.”
That’s all.
Song Tan was used to hearing this, so he ordered Qiao Qiao: "Go and get a knife to cut the watermelon."
"I'll do it, I'll do it! You're still young, be careful if you cut your hand. .”
The eldest aunt hurriedly stopped her, then took the melon from Qiaoqiao's hand and went to rinse it.
These melons are placed on the back seat, and the air conditioner is blowing. The temperature is just right now, and it is suitable for grandma and grandpa to eat.
Cut it with one knife, and it is silky and smooth. The thin white and green skin connects with the bright red flesh inside, and the color impact is particularly intense. The eldest aunt also praised: "Oh! This watermelon tastes real! Look at this thin skin, it must be sweet!"
By the way, she also called to the eldest uncle: "Hurry up and eat a piece first." ! ”
With one stroke of the knife, the refreshing fragrance filled the night wind, and grandpa couldn't help but poke his head over.
The sound of the tea frying machine was running. The uncle wiped his face randomly and came over to sit down: "Oh! This melon came at the right time, it's very hot!"
That's not true! , tea leaves are fried in a separate room, with the heat of the machine running, and people suffer a lot in it.
Everyone sat around the small square table, holding watermelons and gnawing at them without even raising their heads.
Even Song Tan followed Qiao Qiao and ate slowly. His uncle finished a piece of melon like a cow chewing peonies, and then he sighed deeply and took the towel around his neck and wiped it all over his head. Wiping the sweat from his face, he said: "Tantan, if I had known you were so talented at farming, I should have studied agriculture or something. You can definitely be a professor now."
Song Tan burst out laughing - can you become a professor if you know how to farm?
She had no choice but to say: "At that time, even if I wanted to farm at home, my mother wouldn't let me. Farming is so hard."
That's true.
We are all farmers and have suffered hardships. Farming is really not a blessing.
Here, my grandfather was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a small piece of melon and eating it slowly, and couldn’t help but praise:
"It's delicious, as good as dumplings."
"It's delicious!" Song Tan looked at him with a smile: "Eat whatever you want, and I'll give you a few more after you finish eating. I don't feel bad if I grow them at home. "
"By the way, I also brought you some Tremella fungus. It's hot today. Auntie, you can make a pot of stew every day and let us all eat together to keep our bodies healthy."
After that, I'm afraid. My aunt was reluctant to eat, so she quickly added: "Look, my grandma and grandpa are getting older. My uncle is so tired every day, so it's time to take care of himself. Otherwise, how can Brother Wu Lei take care of his children when he gets married?"
My aunt was just about to say a few polite words when she heard Song Tan mention Wu Lei and couldn’t help but frown:
"Don't mention it, your brother Wu Lei is really... How could I educate a child like him! He is in his twenties and thirties, and he doesn't understand anything."
Qiaoqiao suddenly raised his head: "Wu Lei Brother Lei is very nice. He didn’t ask for the tea leaves last time.”
He was talking about the small bag of tea leaves that Song Tan promised to Zhu Li and Wu Lei, but they left in tears. , and didn’t have time to get it.
But the eldest aunt sneered: "He didn't say a word, just brought it back to his girlfriend in the middle of the night, and then brought someone to your place without saying hello the next day. How dare he bring tea?"< br>
"Thankfully he didn't take it, he is still the elder brother! Come and see if Qiao Qiao buys anything for us? Qiao Qiao, don't imitate him, there is no future!"
Qiao Qiao thought for a while: "Teacher Xin said, it doesn't matter if you don't have any potential. There is no way that everyone can be promising."
Song Tan almost laughed out loud, thinking that you, Teacher Xin, are really teaching. It's quite unobtrusive.
The eldest aunt was careless: "Forget it, did I mean that he has no future? What I said is that he has no future and is not sensible, and he has no eyes! He must have some strengths, right? I was stunned. "I haven't seen you!"
This is really a real mother. The more she talked, the more angry she became. She pushed her uncle again: "Wu Chengtao, look at your son's education. Can't he be called next year?" Come back and dig the tea mountains. You have to work hard at home for a few months. Otherwise, when you get married and start a business, we won’t have to watch your relationships.”
The uncle also sighed: "Okay. Call me back next year to help - by the way, Tantan, aren't you Yanping at home? How are you doing?"
"Pretty good."
< br>Song Tan told the truth: "Brother Yanping knows a lot of people, and sometimes he can help me introduce some channels. He is also responsible for some things at home. Anyway, he doesn't want to go back to take the civil service exam, and would rather stay in the mountains."
"Look," the uncle waved his hands to his aunt: "This is not good, it's really not good. Ask Wu Lei to work with Tantan. You can do whatever you want, and you don't need a penny of salary. It’s fine as long as you don’t get cold or hungry.”
Wulei—free labor force, although he is ignorant but very unsmart, very useful! (probably)
