Chapter 413: 413. Pick a girlfriend_1 Chapter 413: 413. Pick a girlfriend_1 Song Tan glanced over and couldn’t help but pinch Datian’s chubby and fluffy behind, “He’s been raised quite well–come on, Qiaoqiao, later find a cardboard box for him to live in, and properly teach him not to gnaw on things.”

“Oh, and the rice we harvested today, go measure out a bowl for him to keep for himself.”

“Okay!”

Qiaoqiao immediately became joyful, “I knew my sister was the best!”

Then quickly stuffed Datian into her pocket and turned to dash into the warehouse.

Wu Lan: …

She said sourly, “That’s right, sister is best, and the mother is heartless.”

“You can’t say it like that,” Song Tan quickly consoled her, “Mom, how is that heartless? That’s called having a sense of responsibility.”

“Besides, you’ve done such a great job educating us! Look at me, I’m so outstanding! And then look at Qiaoqiao, so pure and happy!”

“It’s just that there isn’t the right platform, otherwise you’d be a respected education expert.”

Wu Lan fidgeted for a while, “It’s not that there’s no platform…”

What?

Song Tan was taken aback.

But she saw Wu Lan point towards the red phone holder in the house, “Get me another one. Qiaoqiao always uses this one, it’s inconvenient.”

“I’m on TikTok, watching others there teaching how to recognize words, how to buy tickets, how to use the internet… I’m thinking of teaching everyone how to do farm work…”

Really!

Qiaoqiao teaches, you teach too, are we still handing out awards for excellent teachers at the end of the year?

But it’s fine, really. Having something to do keeps Wu Lan from getting restless, always looking for tasks to busy herself with.

…

Next door, Wu Lei and Zhu Li’s sticky sweet nothings of “baby, do you miss me, I miss you…” conversations could be heard, which is torture for single folks like Zhang Yanping. He hurriedly grabbed his laptop and descended the stairs with Teacher Xin Jun.

On the way down, he excitedly said, “Tantan, today’s online store sales were amazing! Just think if you–”

He sighed with some regret, “Why didn’t I attend a local university back then?”

Although my college mates are scattered all over, if I had studied in our city, there would’ve been more locals.

Then there would’ve been a group of college friends to invite–no, to ask out for meals and tea.

Song Tan: ??? You’re outrageous, I’ve never thought of draining the pond to get the fish!

But no worries–

“Brother Yanping, you could invite your high school friends here to hang out too!”

“Forget it.” Zhang Yanping shook his head, “I’ve been trafficking goods back and forth for years, they know I’m a businessman, my base of trust isn’t as solid as yours.”

It’s not that they definitely won’t spend money, but they’ll inevitably want to bargain and dilly-dally…

Zhang Yanping speculated that with this haul, Song Tan had made enough for the down payment on a contract, and after this, she wouldn’t want to engage in such strenuous tasks anymore.

Alas, such a lack of ambition!

However, Grandma Wang Lifan asked with a beaming smile, “Little Xin, the stylishly dressed girl who visited today, named Qianqian, she’s your ex-girlfriend, right?”

Xin Jun paused for a moment, then replied, “Yes.”

“You see, I find Qianqian quite nice, straightforward, speaks her mind, no hidden agendas!”

“Yes.” Xin Jun also sighed, what he originally liked about Wa Qianqian was just that directness. But as time went on, within that straightforward demeanor were mixed several ulterior motives that didn’t align with his values.

Just then, Wu Lan shook her head, “No, that girl isn’t good enough for our Teacher Xin Jun.”

“Why?” Song Tan had to speak up for her client, “Let’s not talk like that, our Qianqian spent quite a bit of money today!”

“That’s exactly what I’m talking about!”

Wu Lan sighed, “The girl is quite pretty, but a bit simple-minded. Moreover, she does sloppy work, is too gullible… You said she came here all huffed up, ready to pick a fight with Teacher Xin Jun, you’d think she’d see it through to the end.”

And what happened?

In the end, she was utterly bamboozled by Tantan’s few words…

“Teacher Xin, just by how you teach Qiaoqiao, I can tell you must be really smart! You can’t waste that intelligence, you need to find someone smart to pass it on.”

Wu Lan had her own logic.

Xin Jun: …he certainly hadn’t thought of that angle.

But with his face feeling hot, he could only clear his throat, “I’m not that smart–”

Before he could finish, Song Tan quickly interjected, “Mom, don’t be so rigid in your standards. Nowadays, not everyone looks for a perfect match; many people complement each other.”

“Besides, Teacher Xin Jun is still young. Why should he waste his prime on a relationship instead of building his career? That has no future.”

Xin Jun: …

He couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “What, are you afraid that if I get into a relationship, I’ll stop teaching Qiaoqiao? The great future of a 5,000 yuan salary?”

“You can’t put it that way,” Song Tan countered with the air of a seasoned capitalist: “Though the salary is 5,000 yuan, our board is second to none! Look around the nation; no private tutors get treated as well as I do, right?”

“On top of that, have we ever kept you in the dark about our online store’s sales? You’re part of the family when you’re here! You shouldn’t talk like an outsider.”

Xin Jun glanced at her, “Speaking of which, I still need to remind you, I’m busy brainstorming for copywriting and acting as customer service every day… How come you haven’t considered raising my salary?”

Song Tan: …

So she also cleared her throat and decided to change the subject:

“Well, I think our Qianqian is quite nice…”

Xin Jun: …Forget it, forget it. No matter how nice Qianqian is, a breakup is a breakup. He might as well stay a single dog; being single has more potential.

…

On a summer night, a cool breeze wafted through the courtyard under a brilliant starry sky.

Everyone was chatting merrily, making the scene exceptionally lively.

Only Wu Lei upstairs looked sullen– he just had a phone call with Lili, told her about his persistence and hardships of the day, but for some reason, Lili didn’t seem too happy…

He pondered somberly and disheartened: Surely it was because they, as a couple, were living apart, and Lili was sad because she missed him!

Wu Lei lay on his bed, mustering up courage for himself: He must try even harder tomorrow!

Strive to perform well and gain freedom sooner!

In the back mountain, the sounds of cicadas were incessant, accompanied by some squeaking sounds… but he was too exhausted to bother thinking about it anymore.

Waves of fatigue washed over him and he soon fell into a deep, pitch-black sleep.

In his dream, he had a vast expanse of rice fields where he and Lili were working together, swinging their sickles, sweating profusely…

…

There was indeed something amiss in the back mountain.

The situation started with the bucket of rice husks Wu Lan mentioned in the chicken coop.

The husks could be used both to pad the chicken nest (as long as it’s piled up for the chickens to lie on, it counts) and for them to peck at to aid digestion.

It’s the same principle as eating small stones; in any case, chickens aren’t fussy.

There, a big bucket of rice husks was dumped onto the coop’s clearing, and a flock of half-grown chickens began racing down from all over the back mountain, flapping their wings…

Some even whirred down straight from mid-air, much to Wu Lan’s delight–

This one! Look at those legs, so energetic when it runs!

And that one! Flying so high with its wings, it must taste delicious when stewed!
