Chapter 382: 382. Can we harvest rice_1 Chapter 382: 382. Can we harvest rice_1 After the lively greetings, Song Tan craned her neck, searching throughout the crowd:

“Where’s Qianqian? Hasn’t Qianqian arrived yet?” Her boss Qianqian! She couldn’t wait to have her check the watermelons!

However, this enthusiasm made the female classmates nearby feel sympathetic:

“Wa Qianqian hasn’t come yet. She just messaged in the group that she will come later–Song Tan, are you very close with Wa Qianqian?”

Look how she was calling for her, Qianqian, Qianqian, so affectionate!

Alas, poor Song Tan, always staying in the village, still too naive. She doesn’t know how Wa Qianqian has been slandering her–someone couldn’t bear it and spoke up:

“Song Tan, are you close with her?”

Song Tan thought for a moment and said fairly, “Qianqian really looks out for my business.”

The other person’s expression became more complex.

After hesitating for a long while, they finally said, “You should be more cautious. Before Qianqian invited you to the group, she said she wanted to make a donation to you!”

How humiliating.

What? A donation?!

But Song Tan’s eyes lit up, “She is really kind to me, but my family doesn’t lack money now, I can only thank her for her good intentions.”

“By the way, how much was Qianqian planning to donate?” If she really wanted to show her support, she could totally come buy vegetables from my place.

The few girls exchanged glances, their expressions becoming even more tangled–how could they say it out loud?

They had to clear their throats and change the subject:

“Right, I heard from Wa Qianqian before that there was some misunderstanding between you, her, and her boyfriend…”

“You mean Teacher Xin?”

He taught so well, Song Tan also wanted to keep him around long-term, so she enthusiastically said, “Wa Qianqian’s previous boyfriend was called Xin Jun, did you know? The young man is very handsome! He is especially excellent at tutoring, it wasn’t easy for me to invite him to tutor my younger brother–You know how my brother is, right? He is much more sensible now!”

“If any of you are single, why not consider it?”

Oh my, such innocent thoughts!

First, she disclosed her simple reasons, then talked about the state of her younger brother. Clearly, Song Tan had no ulterior motives.

I was wondering, she looks so pretty, what was Wa Qianqian’s boyfriend thinking with no apparent intention, right?

It was indeed Wa Qianqian who was feeling too good about herself, thinking everyone wants to snatch her stuff.

The group exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

Someone even joked, “If Teacher Xin is so great, why don’t you consider him for yourself?”

Song Tan sighed, “My family needs someone with strong physical ability to work on the farm, Teacher Xin is after all a teacher, he turned pale just by mentioning harvesting rice in the summer.”

“Hahahahahaha…” The laughter grew even louder.

And it wasn’t until then that someone asked, “Your family is about to harvest rice, is it tiring? Is it very hard?”

“It’s okay,” Song Tan answered candidly: “It’s quite tiring, sure, but we only have two acres, and it’s all for our own consumption, so taking it slow is fine.”

Someone’s eyes brightened immediately, pointing to a little boy playing on the swing in front: “Song Tan, is the rice harvesting at your place open to the public? If you have a parent-child event, I want to bring my son there!”

“Let him and his father cut rice in the field together!”

As for herself as a mother, she would just apply some sunscreen and take videos of them!

That’s not necessary… Considering it involves feeding multiple people, she still needed a good reputation and it wasn’t nice to charge old classmates high prices. Also, there were safety issues with children… Troublesome

But just as the thought crossed her mind, she heard several of the guys nearby show interest, “What? Harvesting rice? Song Tan, you guys still grow rice, can I offer to help? I’ll bring my nephew along!”

“And me, I’m bringing my daughter! Oh you have no idea, before it was my mother-in-law who took care of her and spoiled her rotten. I’ve been wanting to take her to experience farm work for a long time–”

“It’s not just harvesting rice, we can do other things as well…”

With so many people, if they really went to harvest rice, even if they used little knives to cut it one by one, half a day would be enough to get it done.

Song Tan: …

Song Tan found it hard not to be tempted.

Not to mention, once the final payment for the house was made, there was also a contract waiting to be signed in the village. Now that she was so strapped for cash, she had to think of a way to increase income, right?

She said, slightly embarrassed, “My home’s conditions are humble, and the food is simple, plus it’s quite dangerous for kids to work with the rice… I’m afraid I might not be able to host properly.”

“Also, harvesting rice is really super hard work… ”

Before she could finish her sentence, the class monitor walked over and said, “That’s nothing! Whenever we go out for gatherings and trips now, we always sign a waiver in advance, everyone signs it.”

Legal implications aside, it was somewhat reassuring.

Now holding the phone and taking a count he said, “It’s just the start of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, everyone has time! If you agree, I’ll organize this side, and I guarantee we’ll gather more than 10 people to go! We’ll split the cost of the meal.”

“What do you think?”

“If it really doesn’t work out, we could pay a registration fee and form a group!”

They were all classmates, and Song Tan was looking to develop a long-term relationship, so it wasn’t as if she would go to such extreme lengths.

But with everyone being so vocal and enthusiastic…

Well, then she couldn’t be blamed.

Thus she smiled with genuine simplicity: “What are you talking about! We’re all classmates, why should there be a registration fee? I’ll hire a couple of workers to harvest in the fields and leave a patch for you all to bring your kids to try it.”

“It’s just that we can’t buy good farming tools in the countryside right now, and we might need some small sickles for cutting the rice… so you’ll need to bring your own.”

“Of course!”

So many people coming over for a meal, that’s at least a thousand yuan, right?

Song Tan wasn’t even bringing up the issue of money, so it would be unreasonable to expect her to also foot the bill for the farming tools!

Truly, going to blueberry gardens or dragon fruit gardens, each person would still have to pay an entrance fee. With her being so generous, it was starting to make everyone else feel a bit embarrassed.

“Maybe we should split the cost of the meal, in case we have too many people… ”

Song Tan quickly waved her hands, embarrassed: “No need, it’s just a trip for fun. It’s my own rice, and it won’t be a bother, so why talk about money?”

“How about this, I’ll treat for lunch, and then in the afternoon we stop with the rice harvesting experience and have everyone bring their kids to try threshing and hulling instead. For dinner, submit a menu and we’ll set a price based on it, okay?”

Lucky us!

With the old classmate being so down-to-earth and generous, how could they not be tempted?

Not to mention the ones with kids who agreed on the spot, even the single ones and those without kids got excited:

“I’ll go too!”

A proper farmhouse meal would cost quite a bit, it’s such a bargain!

“Let’s bring friends over for fun!”

Song Tan’s fair cheeks shone with a gentle smile:

“Sure thing, we’re all classmates and don’t need to fuss so much. Anyway, my home cooking is especially, especially delicious–come the time, I’m afraid each of you will want several bowls, remember to bring plenty of money, okay?”

Honest to goodness, this was sincere advice, but everyone just laughed even more happily.
