When Zhou Tianyu woke up, it was already past eight o'clock, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and he was sweating after walking around the yard twice.
The house was quiet, his father had just returned carrying a dark blue spray bucket.
"Dad, it's so hot, why do you still need to take medicine now?"
"It has to be beaten. I was so busy in spring that I didn't pay attention to the fields. Your mother still has to pick tea leaves from the fields. The grass in the tea garden and vegetable garden has grown taller."
Don't talk about pulling weeds. His tea garden is larger than Song Tan's. With more than ten acres of land, it's not like pulling the weeds out by just pulling them out. The roots of the weeds are so deep that the boss It took a lot of effort to pull it out, it was very tiring!
Moreover, the couple pulled out more than ten acres of tea garden by hand, and it lasted only half a month. When I looked back, I saw that in the first few acres of tea garden, the weeds were growing lush and green again.
You still have to rely on medicine.
After all, if you pick fresh leaves and sell them in the market every spring, you can still earn tens of thousands of dollars by working for two months!
Zhou Tianyu nodded, and then asked: "Where is my mother?"
Zhou Maozhu put down the medicine bucket and said while washing his hands and wiping his sweat: "She went to Song Tan's tea garden. There are cut tea branches in the tea garden, and they have to be transported back. It takes three or five carts to pick up the leaves, but that's in the yard. There is no sun, but there is a fan... I guess I have to work until ten o'clock."
"You're going to be hungry and there's porridge in the pot, so put it down first."
Zhou Tianyu was a little unhappy: "It's so hot, why do you let my mother do this?"
"What?" Zhou Maozhu raised his voice: "It's 150 for a combination of luck and luck in one day! If it weren't for the hot weather, how could you get this price? Isn't it stupid to not make money even if you have money?"
At five or six in the morning, I went to the mountain to put the tea branches on a tricycle, and Zhang Wang's family rode a bicycle to deliver it to the yard. The tea branches are loose and not tied up, so it usually takes seven or eight trips.
They were not tired either, just moving the car from the fields. Just a little hot and sweating a lot.
Next, when it’s almost hot at 8:30, I can go back to the yard and work on the leaves until 10 o’clock.
Wait for the afternoon, work from four o'clock to half past six, and don't delay going home to cook or something...
That's it, 150 a day, it's really hot. Song Tan's family doesn't want the old lady to move it around, so that's why it's so expensive!
Those old ladies who don’t do this and just caress the leaves, 100 a day.
"If your mother hadn't been young, she wouldn't have been allowed to do this job."
My mother is still young? My mother is fifty!
Zhou Tianyu couldn't help but be speechless.
But when he thought about it, he felt strange: "Then you fry tea leaves for her family in the spring, and my mother crushes the leaves for her in the summer... You have become his employee."
They are all about the same age and from the same village. His monthly salary is enough to buy one and a half pounds of tea... Why is there such a big gap?
But Zhou Maozhu sighed: "I'd like to think that the Zhang Wang family in the back mountain will work for the Song Tan family. It's not much, 2,500 a month, but food is included -"
Oops, if it was just like the day before yesterday, if it weren't for saving money, he would do it for 1,500!
Speaking of this, I was really envious: "Have you not seen that Zhang Wang's family is like stepping into a coffin at the beginning of spring? They are totally out of spirits."
"Now! My face is rounded out, and I look so good! Even with my limp, I feel windy when I walk! Not to mention how energetic I am! And the work is not heavy, and I can even drive a tricycle!"
2,500, which is not a high salary according to people in the village. But the problem is, this is a job at home!
Besides, Zhang Wang’s family is lame, so what kind of heavy work can he do?
Prepare fertilizer, look at the ground and see peaches and watermelons, ride a bike to transport some things...
Isn’t this beautiful?
Looking at his son's haggard face after a day's rest at home yesterday, Zhou Maozhu couldn't help but feel disgusted: "You earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. How much have you saved?"
Zhou Tianyu instantly retracted and hesitated:
"Consumption there is high, you have to rent a house, pay for water and electricity, commute... have a meal from time to time, have a favor, etc..."
The average monthly salary is 15,000, and it is considered good to be able to save 5,000. He struggled for more than two years. Fortunately, he did not go from having nothing to being heavily in debt. Instead, he saved 50,000 yuan...
cough!
Compared with other young people, you work very hard!
Zhou Maozhu used his mobile phone to calculate: "In two and a half years, I saved 50,000 yuan, which is an average of 1,600 yuan a month? Then how do you spend more than 10,000 yuan a month?"
The honest man's vision went dark, and he really couldn't figure out how he was living like this! Where has all the money gone!
Zhou Tianyu feels wronged too!
Over there, he had to pay 2,000+ to rent a house a month, and he lived in a remote and shabby place! Then I always work overtime at the company, and when I’m hungry, I order a takeaway drink or something. That’s normal, right?
And he has three people under him, who occasionally eat, drink, and sing...
In short, he has been very restrained and has not even applied for a credit card!
Zhou Maozhu couldn't understand what kind of drinks cost twenty or thirty per cup, or what kind of takeaways start at twenty... He just muttered:
"You are not as good as Zhang Wang's family. At least he has saved all his money. He can save more than 20,000 yuan a year! I heard that during the Dragon Boat Festival, Song Tan said that he would not give out any rice, flour, grains and oils after eating the buns, so he would give them directly I bought a new set of clothes..."
Zhou Tianyu was depressed: "You always talk about Song Tan and Song Tan... isn't her family famous for its delicious tea? What kind of tea they make, can't our family learn from it and grow it?"
"What?!"
Zhou Maozhu never expected that his son would dare to think so, and he raised his voice instantly: "Is it just tea? I spent millions to improve the water and soil and hired experts and professors to guide me!"
"How do you study? Do you rely on the 50,000 yuan you saved?" He thought for a while and made an exaggerated analogy:
"His tea branches cost more than 50,000!"
What?
millions? !
Zhou Tianyu almost cried - we are all from the same village, why are you so outstanding?
It's really unthinkable that he can't even make millions by selling his blood.
But then again——
"Why is she so rich?"
"What do you know!" Zhou Maozhu made up his mind today to cure his son's extravagant problem. Song Tan kept busy with millions of dollars in big things, built a villa for his family, and drove a second-hand shabby car when he went out. Pickup!
He's not like his son - he didn't even bother to talk about it. He rented a car when he came back from the trip (it was also his luck that he caught up with Zhang Yanping and the others, so the four of them shared 60 yuan!). Obviously there are shuttle buses and private cars from the city to the town. , you can go to town for 20 yuan, and he will ride a motorcycle to pick you up when the time comes. How convenient!
This kid is too arrogant!
At this moment, what he said became more and more convincing: "Song Tan went to the provincial capital after graduation. He has great connections! He said that he could get a loan for several million, and he said that he would hire experts, but the people he hired were all experts who have been in the news!"
"Why are you so low-key? How can you be so arrogant as to give away ten thousand kilograms of tea with just a raise of your hand?"
"With your current wealth, if you go to a bank to apply for a loan, who will take care of you?"
Zhou Tianyu frowned upon hearing this.
Because, just 50,000 yuan... it's not even enough for their down payment in Yuncheng. If they go to the bank... they can at most apply for a credit card.
The consumption outlook of contemporary young people is really about carpe diem...
But that’s just a part of it, there are still many people who are very good at saving money to live.
But unfortunately...I'm a big spender...(*)
