Chapter 949: 931. Contemporary Young People

Xin Jun swiftly and efficiently arranged the matter, while Wu Lan shook her head disapprovingly: "I really don’t understand you young people today, having money but nowhere to spend it. Is it really worth buying tickets and driving so far just for a meal?"

Zhang Yanping laughed heartily: "What else can we do? Young people nowadays prioritize enjoyment. If not for that drive, how do you think those farmhouse restaurants, an hour or two away from the city center, become so popular?"

"Don’t they save any money?" Song Sancheng asked soul-searchingly.

Xin Jun paused: "It’s not easy."

He spoke earnestly: "Look at Wu Lei, always thought by others that despite working for several years, he hasn’t saved a penny and seems incompetent. But in reality, most young people are like him."

"Those from top universities like 985 and 211 might still be picky about companies and businesses, relying on hard work and struggle, they might find some leeway in big cities."

"Those from ordinary universities don’t have choices, might even find it hard to find a job. Even if they find one, most jobs don’t provide food and lodging. They squeeze into subways early in the morning, and by the time they finish work, it’s already midnight. It’s unrealistic to expect them to cook for themselves after being so exhausted."

Thus, they have to order takeout.

Young people with a monthly salary of a few thousand yuan have to pay for this and that, commuting costs, phone bills, internet, and also pay rent, and buy takeout.

Under these circumstances, how can they save any money?

Xin Jun gave a wry smile: "You see, if they were able to save money, life must be very bitter."

Like him, if he hadn’t found this tutoring job with Lao Song’s family, he might still not have a stable teaching position to this day — unless he went to the countryside or town.

Salary? In Yun City, a primary school teacher in the county earns 2400 a month. What can 2400 do? One can hardly dare to dig into the ground.

As he was reflecting, he saw Wu Lan and Song Sancheng’s eyes reddening, and their gazes fixed intently on Song Tan.

—When the child first came back, they muttered some disapproving words inside. The sixty thousand yuan they had saved, they didn’t take too seriously...

But to think of it, what kind of thrifty life must one lead to save so much money in just two years?

She wasn’t the type to get an 8000 salary right after graduation, so did she also have to burn the midnight oil and settle for cheap takeout?

Song Tan: ...

Honestly, it feels like a thing of the past now, she isn’t very touched by it.

But at this moment, her parents’ emotions need an outlet! So she clapped her hands:

"You’re right! It’s good that I came back to farm! If I knew this was the way forward, I wouldn’t have worked at all back then. It was killing me!"

With that, Wu Lan couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "Right! I think your farming really has potential, come back and do it well. Let those people see during the New Year, they used to say that coming back to farm was not forward-looking, but now, who’s better than you every day!"

Song Sancheng nodded too, recalling the bandage on Song Tan’s head when she first returned, and he nodded vigorously adding:

"Ask again, who is coming from Imperial City? How many people are they bringing? Can we arrange rooms on the third floor?"

He added: "Tell him to bring more people, bring family members too, don’t be shy! And no need to bring anything either. The two cases of wine they gave before were so expensive... It came down to around twenty thousand!"

Speaking of which, Song Sancheng began to feel proud: "During the New Year, our family will serve this fine wine!"

Though it’s not as tasty as the wine we brew ourselves, it’s still very good, a famous brand that embodies wealth!

With such connections, it’d definitely be inappropriate to arrange their accommodation in a dormitory.

So, the topic turned back to the original point: "Try to invite all of Qiaoqiao’s fans, don’t let them miss out. We can arrange cars to pick them up from the train or high-speed rail station. This silly child has been waiting all this time."

Alright!

Zhang Yanping nodded: "Don’t worry, I’ll have him announce it in the live stream and also post an announcement, keeping it pinned at the top of the homepage."

Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao was delighted: "Then can I... can I buy more Ultramans? I want to give one to each of my students."

Xin Jun seemed to recall something and laughed, "You should buy more stickers. Stick one on each of your students, it’ll make them easier to distinguish."

Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up.

Zhang Yanping also smiled: "Alright then, I’ll make it clear in the announcement—[Must accept sticking Ultraman on the face or on the hand! If not acceptable, Peppa can be stuck instead]... right, Qiaoqiao? Peppa would be okay, right?"

Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, still fond of the little pink pig: "Yes! But sticking Peppa and eating pig slaughter dishes... won’t they feel too reluctant?"

No, everyone thought quietly: They would only eat as much as Peppa did.

But once the pig slaughter dish is eaten, the address would hardly be a secret, so what would they do next year when people insist on coming over to buy obsessively?

Sell it!

Song Tan said calmly: "Next year we’ll have more stock, they’ll have a higher chance of getting it, and if they still travel far to buy, due to the contract, we must raise the price."

Not to mention, it must definitely be higher than Boss Chang’s. It’s not like everyone can be so wealthy and idle, right?

Everyone sat around the warm stove, eating and making decisions through their discussions.

Professor Song watched everything with delight, also sighing at this moment: "During the New Year, I don’t even know if my children will have time, so I won’t bring them."

Dragging the family along isn’t the only issue, it’s a busy time just before the New Year, and it’s hard to get away. If it were a few students, they would definitely come over, looking at their recent silence, who knows if they have finalized their plans for the future.

However, Seventh Uncle looked gloomy: His son had planned to come over in the first half of the year, but something came up at his father-in-law’s side and he had to go back suddenly.

Now that it’s almost the New Year, there hasn’t been any talk of coming back... If he doesn’t come, then for the New Year, he’ll have to bring several sheep back to his father.

Not to say more, it would save thousands during grand feasts.

As everyone discussed here for a long time, suddenly Song Tan realized: "Hey! We forgot to ask Secretary Xiaozu!"

"Right!" Song Youde perked up: "She has many grandfathers, ask her to bring a few over, let’s have a drink together!"

Song Tan: ... Secretary Xiaozu’s grandfathers are not ordinary grandfathers!

Moreover, speaking of grandfathers, your drinking capacity... perhaps better not mention it!

She thought for a moment: "I’ll ask her, worst case, we’ll set up another table. She’s really good to our family, if she can’t come, we’ll just send a few pounds of pork over to them!"

With this arrangement, everyone was happy and content, and thus they joyfully notified their respective folks.

So...

The problem now went to Secretary Xiaozu’s end.

She has so many grandfathers, she definitely needs to consult her 9th grandfather, but for the rest, which ones should she call?

What a headache! Secretary Xiaozu became distressed—she knew that if this arrangement was not handled well, it would cause upheaval from her grandfathers!
