However, Wu Lei’s hard work has not been in vain for the time being.
Because Song Tan called me in the evening: "Brother Wu Lei, remember to bring two bags of cow manure when you come over for dinner in the evening."
The villa has been built and the yard has been tidied up inside and outside. Now that he has lived in the house for more than half a year, Ulan has other ideas.
“The place under the wall outside can’t be empty. You can use some fertilizer to improve it, and later we can also plant the flowers that climb the wall, big and small, how beautiful it is.”
Song Tan silently looked at the onions, garlic, coriander, etc. planted under the wall and couldn't help but be speechless.
Qiaoqiao looked at Ulan curiously, then at the flower bed, and said, "But sister had dug up the flowers and was going to plant them. It was you who said it would be better to plant some vegetables instead of doing those fancy things, so as to save two heads of garlic and have to go to the vegetable field." go."
So, don’t look at the big villa with white walls and gray tiles at home, there are mountains and forests behind it. But the place in front of the door is solid and there is no greenery at all -
Oh, yes too.
A cherry tree.
Ulan's face remained calm: "It was summer back then, so what kind of flowers were there? It was not easy to live... Besides, it's almost the Chinese New Year, so it looks bare!"
The temperature today is 1-9°! Is it suitable?
Alright! Whatever suits you is appropriate! Song Tan then said: "Then I'll call Brother Wu Lei first and ask him to bring two bags of cow manure back to amend the soil. I'll bury some sheep manure as base fertilizer before planting flowers."
However, not long after hanging up the phone, Wu Lei came over on a tricycle. What a dark, lean and muscular young man! He put a bag of cow manure on his shoulder and asked, "Where to put it?"
Song Tan pointed to the large flower bed along the wall: "Just pour it here."
Without saying a word, he put down the big sack of cow manure, tore open the bag, then walked back while holding it, and soon spread it evenly over half of the flower bed.
There’s no need to ask when it’s the second package’s turn, just carry it to the other side.
Ulan was shocked by this action and couldn't help but be surprised at this moment: "Leilei... has changed a lot!"
I remember that when I first came to my home, I was pretty fair, but I was a half-empty person. I wandered here and there every day, pointing out this and that...
How come you are so capable of execution now? He did whatever he was asked to do, and he did the hard work as soon as he was told.
How else to say that labor transforms people?
Song Tan felt proud and asked casually: "Brother Wu Lei, didn't you say you would bring me here during dinner? Why did you make this trip all the way?"
Wu Lei sighed, and his expression seemed to be back to the way he used to give advice: "I changed my clothes when I was eating. It won't be easy to carry the manure then. I'll deliver it now. It's not too far away. I can ride a bicycle." Woolen cloth."
Although fermented cow manure is like dust in the eyes of country people, it is not considered a waste. but…
"Very good! Brother Wu Lei, you are so considerate. By the way, I see that the clothes my uncle and aunt are wearing are old. You know that Tian Tian helped find discounts from some big brands in the city, right? Do you want to take them? Is this month’s salary going to be enough for both of them?”
Ulan couldn't help but look sideways.
After all, it’s good that the child’s uncle and aunt are here to study, but they work diligently, so they don’t ask for a penny. Nowadays, if you find an apprentice, you have to pay a decent salary!
Wu Lei thought for a while: "That's okay, then you can watch and prepare. The money will be deducted from my salary when the time comes." What should I say? In the past, he would have to weigh three or four things before buying clothes by himself. But now I’m used to having my salary deducted every month when I buy something here or there.
Now that I listen to Song Tan's advice, I don't think there is any problem at all, but it saves me a lot of worry.
And Song Tan also happily said: "Okay! Then prepare a three-in-one jacket for each of them, which is convenient for riding, and give them two pairs of leather cotton pants... Oh, by the way, there are also down jackets, the quality is very good, or else Matching them together? It’s just a bit expensive.”
She arranged it very carefully. Wu Lei thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong, so he nodded: "Is the salary enough? It's not enough to deduct next month's salary."
His! Zhang Yanping listened with a ferocious expression on his face.
He thought to himself that we are still relatives, so why are there such big differences in brains and genes? If you were to go out to work like this, you would be selling cabbage in a stupid way and still have to collect white powder for the boss!
Sure enough, Song Tan's expression stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled again: "Brother Wu Lei, you are so filial - but don't worry, this is the wholesale price, it will definitely be enough."
“I bought these two as New Year gifts. You can save next month’s salary and have some pocket money on hand for the New Year.”
When Wu Lei heard this, he became even more arrogant: "It's okay! I'm not like Uncle Zhang's child... What else do my parents lack? You can figure it out... Oh, by the way, that friend of mine before, he didn't get the kudzu powder. , asked me if I could get two pounds over..."
Song Tan blinked: Uncle Zhang sent 100 kilograms of arrowroot powder to his family, saying that he would keep it and give it away. No matter how much I eat, I can't finish so much. I originally gave it to my relatives...
So she said eagerly: "I was about to tell you that I want you to buy two kilograms for your uncle and aunt - how about deducting it too?"
“By the way, that friend of yours is the one who sent you back last time, right? He’s a pretty nice person…”
Although the two municipal procurement projects she led were quite impressive, they had little success—well, people are talking about integrity these days. Her food was so expensive, so it was normal that she couldn't purchase it.
Song Tan thought for a while: "There are too many acquaintances here asking, and they all say no. But since he is your friend, Brother Leilei, it is not easy for you to have a close friend when you are so old. We can't call him You've lost face."
How difficult it is to be in your twenties or thirties and have only one friend around you! We only met because of my ex-girlfriend...
She said sincerely: "I will give you three kilograms separately at the wholesale price. You can make arrangements later."
Zhang Yanping has three kilograms, Xin Jun has three kilograms, Professor Song has five kilograms, and there are aunts and uncles over there in the imperial capital...
That’s enough!
Wulei was extremely moved—he didn’t know anything else, but he did know that his things were in short supply!
At this moment, he nodded heavily: "Okay! It's all up to you! Leave one pound at my house, and don't give the other two pounds to me. When you send the express, help send it! I will give you the address and the express money later. "
His parents don’t like to drink sticky things, so there’s no burden in giving this away.
But Song Tan thought: I gave you the wholesale price, should I give it to my uncle later...
The worst case scenario is that your salary will be deducted.
She nodded in approval: "Brother Wu Lei, you are so kind and righteous!"
Update 1, good morning.
