Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 633 - Chapter 633 Caring_1

Chapter 633: Caring_1 Chapter 633: Caring_1 Tian Tian returned home and immediately took a shower and washed her hair. After drinking gulps of water and feeling the whirring fan blow over her, she finally felt comfortable.

Seeing the sweaty appearance of her parents, she couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s been really hot this year. How about we buy an air conditioner? Even the cheaper ones for just over a thousand are quite good.”

Otherwise, her parents would really suffer at home.

“I think we should buy one too,” Tian Ye said as he started cooking, wiping his sweat, “It’s been over forty degrees in the afternoons these days; we really can’t do without an air conditioner.”

There were rumors that several elderly people from other villages had passed away. If it was due to the heat, there was no evidence. But if not, why were there so many this year?

Tian’s mother shook her head, “No! Both of you are at home, and I don’t have to do any work. Over a thousand isn’t a small sum, you know? It’ll cool down soon after the end of this hot period.”

Fearing her children would continue discussing the air conditioner, she quickly asked, “What did you do this morning? Was it okay?”

If it weren’t for their own frail health, why would they make their children work the fields in the scorching sun at thirty-eight or nine degrees?

Just sitting at home was enough to sweat through layers.

Tian Tian shook her head, “It was so-so. It took us the whole morning to harvest less than a third of the sesame seeds.” They had to rest after cutting for a bit, which was much worse than the farmers with more experience. And even coming back she still felt back pain.

“Don’t push yourself too hard…”

Tian’s mother said, advising.

But Tian Tian felt helpless, “I have to push, Mom. They are paying two hundred yuan in wages for each of us.”

What? Two hundred yuan?

Tian’s mother paused for a moment then said weakly, “Then don’t overdo it. If you’re really tired, go take a break.”

Tian Tian, however, was calculating in her heart–

Two hundred a day; if the siblings worked for a week, that would be over two thousand, which together with the money they had saved, should be enough to pay Tian Ye’s school fees.

But where would they live?

Their small city had a particular shortage of short-term rentals, although she had heard that near the university there were, but even a small single room cost fifty yuan a day…

She furrowed her brow, deeply troubled, and decided to check rental listings again and to ask the teachers when she registered.

However, all these worries turned into surprise when she picked up the sickle in the afternoon, ready to harvest the green beans.

“Wha, what?”

Even someone as composed as Tian Tian found it hard to believe, “Let Tian Ye study with you?”

“Yes,” Yan Ran said with a smile, “Don’t think we aren’t serious because we are college students; we would definitely pass the Level Four test again. After all, we often read academic publications in English.”

Logically, the pinnacle of a person’s academic knowledge is in high school, and college students often aren’t reliable. But… how hardworking they were!

Fighting for scholarships every year in college, facing daunting odds in graduate exams, and finally following Professor Song, who was so famous that any laxness could bring shame upon the teacher…

Thank heavens their knowledge was still up-to-date, which would at least slightly make up for the guilt of freeloading at Song Tan’s house.

And all the hard work they did in the morning preparing fertilizer… could that be called hard work? It was the simplest task.

Joy practically leapt from Tian Tian’s face as she was incomparable at that moment, “No, it’s not that… I just… I didn’t expect…”

Song Tan came over quickly to reassure her, “It’s alright, it’s something we can easily help with.”

“Look, Tian Ye is still studying. Working so early in the fields could ruin his health. Better to use the holiday to study well, aim for a good university, and bring honor to our village.”

“You work harder in the field to earn a wage, and he can take classes here. We can make it through these times.”

And then, looking at Tian Ye standing next to him, seemingly paralyzed and unable to speak, he said with an expression that was especially sincere and considerate:

“If you really feel uneasy about it, then we can study when it’s hot out, in the early morning and late evening, and you can give me a hand with work around the house. I won’t pay you a salary for that, what do you think?”

In that moment, Tian Tian and Tian Ye were so moved they almost cried. But the siblings both took a deep breath to hold back their tears and then nodded solemnly:

“Okay!”

At that time, what did wages matter anymore? If it were possible, even Tian Tian would have worked without a salary!

Thinking back on Song Tan’s words, it was clear that he was considerate of their difficult situation and also respectful of his younger brother’s pride.

If there was still something to be dissatisfied with, it would be outrageous!

Tian Ye looked at her and clenched his fists, nodding vigorously: “I will work hard.”

And Yan Ran just smiled and waved a hand:

“There’s no rush to work right now. Go home and bring me your test papers and textbooks to look over–I’m being honest, I can’t promise that the results of my tutoring will be as good as your professional teachers. Don’t mind.”

In terms of expertise, the teachers were professionals in education and undoubtedly had a higher level than her. Yan Ran was well aware of that.

But the teachers and Tai Xiaodong and Qi Lin all said it was too hot, and she shouldn’t keep wandering outside like this; if she got tanned, it might even become a problem finding a partner…

Of course, Yan Ran knew that they were just being considerate because she was a girl and also because of the discomfort she faced during those days of the month; they had found an excuse…

Yan Ran was equally grateful.

At that moment, looking at the excited Tian Ye, her expression turned exceptionally gentle: “This afternoon you work as usual, and I’ll quickly prepare a lesson plan based on your tests and textbooks. We can officially start tomorrow, how does that sound?”

She was really considerate.

In that instant, even the normally strong and cheerful Tian Tian couldn’t help but feel her eyes well up with tears.

She nodded and said earnestly, “Okay–Tian Ye, you go work in the fields first. I’ll go home and get your test papers.”

The siblings set out together, heading in opposite directions, their spirits equally high.

…

By the time Tian Tian rode back on her motorcycle, rumbling as she came, Sun Ziqiang was also ready to start his workday.

Seeing her arrive, he casually asked:

“Are you cutting beans this afternoon? How about I take you there on the tricycle later, it’ll save me from walking and save you the trip back here to get your bike.”

Tian Ye, that simple kid, upon hearing the news, didn’t even turn his head and just headed up the mountain. When Song Tan and the others snapped back to reality, they found that the foolish boy had only taken a sickle; he hadn’t ridden the tricycle either.

Tian Tian nodded: “Sure.”

Then, promptly placing Tian Ye’s backpack on the ground, she got on the vehicle. She was slow at manual labor, so she couldn’t dawdle over such an offer, or else it would have been disrespectful to their good intentions.

Sun Ziqiang started the tricycle skillfully, and as it hit the main road, Song Tan came chasing after and called out:

“Don’t overdo it, if you’re really tired, just take a rest.”

Otherwise, if she wore herself out, and he ended up having to reimburse her, it would be a loss!

On the tricycle, Sun Ziqiang’s voice rang out loudly: “Did you hear that? You have to take care of your health, don’t burden Song Tan. It’s not easy to find a generous boss these days.”

He was broke after buying the tricycle and needed to think of ways to save money!

On the tricycle, Tian Tian, jostled by the bumpy country road, didn’t speak any further, but the weight on her shoulders felt suddenly lighter.
