When Tian Tian returned home, she took a shower and washed her hair as soon as possible. She drank water as soon as she came out, and the electric fan whirred, which made her feel comfortable.
Looking at her parents sweating profusely, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hot this year. Why don't you buy an air conditioner first? A cheaper one of more than 1,000 yuan is pretty good."
Otherwise, her parents would really suffer at home.
"I think we should buy it too." Tian Tian cooked the rice and wiped his sweat and said, "It's been over 40 degrees in the afternoon these days. It's really impossible without air conditioning."
I heard that several elderly people have passed away in other villages. It might be because of the hot weather, but no one has any evidence. But if not, why are there so many this year?
Tian Ma shook her head: "No! You two are at home, and you don't have to do any work. More than a thousand is not money? Just leave Futian right away."
She was afraid that her children would talk about air conditioners again, so she quickly asked: "What did you do this morning? Is it okay?"
If they hadn't been in poor health, how could they have asked their children to do farm work in the sun at 38-9 degrees Celsius?
Sitting at home in this weather, I am sweating layer by layer.
Tian Tian shook his head: "Let's make do, we harvested less than three-thirds of the sesame seeds. It took us a whole morning to harvest them." Cutting for a while and taking a break was much worse than that of the crop. I still feel pain in my back just now.
"Don't work so hard..."
Tian Ma advised.
Tian Tian was helpless: "We can't do it without fighting, Mom, they're giving us two hundred yuan each."
What? Two hundred dollars?
Tian Ma paused and said weakly, "Then don't push yourself too hard. If you're really tired, just go and rest."
Tian Tian was planning in her heart——
200 a day, the siblings work for a week, which is more than 2,000. Together with the money on hand, it is enough to pay tuition for Tianfang.
But where to live?
There are very few short-term rental houses in their small city. I have inquired about short-term rental houses near the university, but it will take fifty-one days for a small single room...
She frowned, feeling really distressed, so she had to check the rental information again, and asked the teacher when she was about to sign up.
However, all these worries turned into surprise when I took the sickle and prepared to harvest mung beans in the afternoon.
"W-what?"
Rao was as calm as Tian Tian, but he was a little unbelievable at the moment: "Let Tian Ye learn from you?"
"That's right." Yan Ran said with a smile, "Even though we are all college students now, there is no problem in taking the CET-4 exam. After all, many related publications are usually in English."
It stands to reason that the peak of knowledge in life is in the third year of high school, and college students are very unreliable. But... who made them work hard enough?
I have been fighting for scholarships every year in college, and I have to pass the postgraduate entrance examination with thousands of soldiers and horses. I finally followed Professor Song, who is so famous, and I am afraid of embarrassing the teacher if I slack off a little bit...
Thank God, the knowledge reserve is still there, which can somewhat make up for their guilt of eating and drinking for free at Song Tan's house.
As for the hard work of preparing fertilizer all morning...can that be called hard work? It couldn't be a simpler life.
The joy on Tian Tian's face was about to pop out, and it was unparalleled at this moment: "No, it's not... I am... I didn't expect..."
Song Tan quickly came over to comfort her: "It's okay, it's just a matter of course."
"You see Tian Tian is still in school. Working so early will make your body collapse. Why not take advantage of this holiday to study hard and get into a good university later, and our village will be honored."
"You work hard in the fields and earn a salary, and he attends classes here. He will be able to get by."
Then he looked at Tian Ye who was stunned and speechless, with a particularly sincere and considerate expression:
"If you really feel sorry for yourself, then let's study when the weather is hot, and help my family with you morning and night, and I won't calculate your salary. Do you think that's okay?"
At this moment, Tian Tian and Tian Tian were moved to tears. But the siblings unanimously took a deep breath to suppress the tears, and then solemnly nodded:
"OK!"
At this time, there is no salary or wages. If it were possible, Tian Tian would be free of salary!
Thinking about Song Tan's words again, it was clear that he was considerate of his own difficulties and his brother's self-esteem.
If you are still dissatisfied with this, it will be like thunder!
Tian Ye looked at her, clenched his fists, and nodded heavily: "I will work hard."
And Yan Ran waved his hand with a smile:
"Then don't rush to work now. Go back and bring your test papers and textbooks over for me to take a look at. To be honest, the effect of my tutoring for you will definitely not be as good as that of your professional teachers. Don’t mind it.”
There are specialties in the field, and other teachers are professional teachers, so they must be better than me. In this regard, Yan Ran is well aware of it.
But both the teacher and Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin said it was too hot and they couldn't go out and hang out like this all the time. They would be really tanned when they turned around and it would be a problem to find a partner...
Of course, Yan Ran knew that they were considerate of the fact that she was a girl, and since they were not feeling well for a few days, they found an excuse...
Yan Ran was equally grateful.
At this moment, looking at the excited Tian Tian, his expression was particularly gentle: "You guys work as usual in the afternoon, I will give you a brief tutorial on the papers and textbooks, and we will officially start tomorrow, okay?"
She is so thoughtful.
At this moment, Rao was as strong and cheerful as Tian Tian, and his eye circles could not help but turn red.
She nodded and said solemnly: "Okay - Tianye, you go to work in the fields first, and I'll get you the papers when I get home."
The two siblings set off together in opposite directions, but with the same high morale.
…
And when Tian Tian came roaring over on his motorcycle again, it happened that Sun Ziqiang was also planning to go to work.
Seeing people coming, he asked casually:
"You guys are harvesting beans this afternoon, right? How about I take you there on a tricycle later, so that I don't have to walk and you don't have to come back and ride again."
The stupid boy in Tianye walked up the mountain without looking back after hearing the news. When Song Tan and the others came to their senses, they found that the stupid boy only had a sickle and didn't even ride a tricycle.
Tian Tian nodded: "Okay."
Then he neatly put down Tianye's schoolbag and got in the car. She works slowly, so she can't waste time on this kind of thing, or else she'll be disrespectful of other people's kindness.
Sun Ziqiang started the car skillfully and saw that he was riding on the road. Song Tan chased after him and shouted:
"Don't be brave, just rest when you're really tired."
Otherwise, she will be exhausted and if she has to pay for it again, the gain will outweigh the loss!
On the tricycle, Sun Ziqiang's voice was also loud: "Did you hear that? You have to take it easy and don't burden Song Tan. It's not easy to find a generous boss these days."
He was destitute after buying the car, so he had to find a way to save money quickly!
On the tricycle, Tian Tian's body swayed along the bumpy mountain road. She said nothing, but the burden on her body suddenly became lighter.
