Chapter 918: 900. A dull day for Wu Lei

Grandma Tang spent the whole morning following Qiaoqiao from the Long-tailed Pheasants in the back mountains to the lambs by the riverside meadow, and finally sighed shiveringly as the withered reeds swayed in the wind:

"This down jacket is really more useful than a coat!"

Qiaoqiao admired, "Grandma Tang, your hat looks so nice!"

The pink down jacket not only went down to her calves, but also featured two cute cat ears on the hood—after all, it was a special discount from a clearance sale, no choice there!

Grandma Tang, standing by the river, wrapped up from head to toe with only her face visible, felt the cold breeze meandering from the river, and muttered with her hands in her sleeves: "Indeed."

As the wind suddenly grew stronger, the old lady and the young girl quickly wrapped themselves up, then hurried into the warm house.

This was Zhang Wang’s and Wu Lei’s usual dormitory, one small single room each, with a hot stove burning in the living room, the pipes even extending to where the cattle and sheep were kept.

But recently, Zhang Wang’s family was busy harvesting Kudzu root, only returning here to sleep at night—it was quieter with just him at home, but better to be here.

And Wu Lei... he didn’t feel lonely, after all, the cattle were okay, but the sheep were really lively.

He just felt overly busy.

Early in the morning, he had to add wood to the stove, then prepare the fodder for feeding the cattle and sheep—

Now, there were also ducks, making noise along with Goose Sister Big White; if you slept in even for just half an hour without opening the door, the noise could literally kill you.

Then Zhang Wang would take over here, and he would go back to Lao Song’s family house for breakfast.

Right after that, it was time to shovel cattle dung, sheep dung, and duck dung, all collected into a fermentation pool.

Once that was roughly done, it was time to prepare and finely crush the pre-prepared dry fodder set aside; by then, the sun would be rising, the temperature climbing, and it was time to let the cattle and sheep out for a wander.

He should also take a break, taking turns eating lunch with Zhang Wang’s family.

By the afternoon, it was back to shoveling dung across the entire meadow—what vast sky and boundless wilds, wind blowing grass low to see cattle and sheep? More like seeing cattle and sheep dung!

If these dungs were left unattended, despite it being winter and not too smelly, once the river breeze blew, mixing thousands together, one could be completely overwhelmed by the stench.

By the time all this was done, the sun would be setting, and the temperature dropping quickly. With the help of a few dogs, the cattle and sheep were gradually herded back into their pens, immediately followed by another replenishment of fodder...

Day in and day out the same routines, with also learning various small bits of knowledge about caring for cattle and sheep, including but not limited to various major and minor diseases... quite monotonous.

Song Tan visited several times and seeing Wu Lei in such a state, really felt a pang in her heart—already foolish enough, what if he became even more foolish from herding cattle and sheep?

Luckily, it wasn’t long before he picked up his phone and skillfully opened timi...

She then breathed a sigh of relief.

Video games, the light of mankind!

She subsequently called her aunt and uncle: "Auntie, have you two made up your minds yet? If you have, come over during this farming downtime."

Grandma had early suggested that the couple come over to learn cattle and sheep farming; raising them back home could also be an income, but neither of them were as decisive as grandma and grandpa!

Uncle thought it through quite thoroughly: "Tantan, your aunt and I discussed it, and we think it’s not suitable for us—your family is already raising and selling cattle and sheep, what good is it for us to compete with you?"

Song Tan laughed: "Uncle, why are you being so hesitant? When I was a kid, every household raised chickens, and I never saw your family not raising them either."

Uncle cleared his throat: "Those chickens sold were few, mostly we ate them ourselves. You have so many cattle now, it won’t be easy to sell, plus you still have to worry about our family. As an elder... isn’t your Brother Wu Lei there? Just let him work hard and learn well."

Fine, this is what the grandparents said when they went back that they could also help introduce sales channels, which made Uncle blush.

Song Tan thought to himself: Uncle, you worry too much! Do you believe our cattle could sell for a difference of an order of magnitude in price?

We talked about this before when selling wild vegetables and watermelons, but their thinking has been set for years, and it’s hard for them to change suddenly.

Song Tan didn’t say much: "Uncle, just say whether you will come or not? Brother Wu Lei is now taking care of the cattle and sheep all by himself every day, without anyone to talk to. I’m afraid if this continues, he’ll learn nothing and go silly first."

Poor parents worldwide! Thinking about his son getting so big and still not having married, not having saved any wealth, and also having a daughter attending university...

Finally, Uncle gritted his teeth: "Okay! Then I, then I’ll come!"

Song Tan smiled: "Good, there are several dormitories here, you and Auntie tidy up, bring a few changes of clothes, it will just help me out."

Meanwhile, he pretended to complain: "I told you to come and help earlier, but you wouldn’t. Now Uncle Zhang had to go back home to do farm work, we’re too short-handed on the grassland, all relying on Brother Wu Lei to tough it out..."

Uncle felt even more guilty: "Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

This is the thinking of a considerate elder—helping is okay, taking advantage is not. If not for this intention, Song Tan wouldn’t bother about Wu Lei’s previous foolish appearance!

However, faster than the uncle and aunt was Tian Tian.

Just as Qiaoqiao and Grandma Tang had just arrived home and started warming up, there was a roar of a motorcycle outside the door.

Wu Lan came out and was shocked: "You silly girl, riding a motorcycle in such cold weather, aren’t you afraid of catching a chill!"

Tian Tian took off her helmet, exhaling a puff of white air: "It’s okay, auntie, I rode slowly, and I even wrapped knee pads around my legs."

While saying this, she unbuttoned her gloves and untied the cotton knee pads from her legs.

But looking at her movements, her whole body was stiff and slow, obviously frozen from the ride.

Wu Lan frowned, led her into the house, and said, "I heard you’ve saved up some money now. If you’re going to ride the motorcycle like this every day, take your old one to town and trade it in for some money, get a scooter!"

A scooter can have a windscreen fitted, and the seat is a bit lower, much more stable than this old-style motorcycle.

Speaking of the things in town, Wu Lan was quite experienced: "If you don’t have enough money right away, no worries, let your uncle talk to them, you can ride the motorcycle back and pay after the New Year."

As they entered the house, the warm heat hit them, making Tian Tian shiver for a moment before she relaxed completely.

She first smiled and responded to Wu Lan’s words: "Auntie, no need, I came today to discuss with Song Tan—Song Tan, I’d like to learn in the greenhouse, could you arrange a dormitory for me on the mountain? Sun Ziqiang said fishing could get 3000 a month with meals included, can I have the same deal?"

She was a bit embarrassed, her cheeks flushed:

"I resigned yesterday afternoon, thinking of coming to learn earlier."

Song Tan: ...

No words, just that this execution and efficiency make one enviously want to cry!
