Chapter 14: The One-Year Covenant
Bai Ling and Lin Tian quickly exchanged glances and spoke for Lin Tian.
"Uncle, aunt, what Lin Tian said also has his truth. Like your peanuts, you can make a lot of money, twenty yuan a catty, and it's a lot of money to sell them all, which is much more than the income from working in the city.
You don't know, today's college graduates don't pay much to go out and find a job. Lin Tian is also a heart, and wants to come back to be filial to you two elders. ”
Lin Guoming barely squeezed a smile.
"That being said, it's hard to say about the harvest, this year is good, and next year may not be good, it depends on the time and the environment. Even if you contract a fish pond, there are many uncertainties in the fish pond. If farming and fish farming were really so profitable, there would already be a lot of rich people in our Linjia Village.
Even if the peanuts were sold for a lot of money this time, they were sold out, and it would take several months to sell them next time, and the money would not be received.
I've been a cadre in the village for so many years, and I've seen too much. ”
Listening to Lin Guoming's worried words, Lin Tian was full of confidence, patted his chest, and spoke loudly.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll find a way to make more money, peanuts are just the beginning, you have to believe me, when did I disappoint you?"
Lin Guoming shook his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer Lin Tian's words.
He felt that his long-term hope was shattered by Lin Tian at this moment.
His greatest hopes in this life are pinned on his son.
He felt that Lin Tian had finally been admitted to the university, and after graduation, he should go outside, and it was impossible to live a life like him, trapped in the countryside.
What parent doesn't want their son to become a Chan?
Wang Cuijuan saw that the atmosphere on the field was a little dignified, and she played a round, her heart was very soft, and she couldn't bear to see her son and her husband have conflicts.
"The child is his father, Xiao Tian's health has not been good for long, so let him rest at home for a while. After a while, I will take care of my body, and if I have the idea to go outside to find a job in the future, it is not too late. ”
Lin Guoming sighed, put down his chopsticks, stood up, turned to leave, and left a word.
"I'll get in touch with you about contracting the swamp. If you can't make any money this year, you can go to the city and look for a job. ”
Hearing that his father was relieved, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
With the space he carried, he knew that none of his ideas that seemed unrealistic to others were empty.
Father gave him a year, he will definitely convince his father and make him look at him differently.
After eating, Wang Cuijuan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Bai Ling wanted to help, and she sent him out.
Bai Ling came to the courtyard and found Lin Tian under the tree, he was making food for Xiaobao, slowly breaking the fish bones, stirring rice and vegetable juice for him to eat.
Xiaobao ate happily, and for the first time he got along so harmoniously with Lin Tian.
Bai Ling watched quietly as he finished feeding Xiaobao, and he walked to the recliner under the tree and lay down looking at the sky.
"Why is your decision so sudden? Didn't you say that you would go to the city to look for a job, and you already had a company that you were interested in?"
Lin Tian said lightly: "Don't mention it, that company has rejected my resume more than a month ago." The plan to go home to farming was so sudden that I didn't have time to tell you about it. ”
Bai Ling said quietly: "If you have a comprehensive plan and plan to make a big difference at home, I will support you unconditionally."
I just hope that you don't get discouraged by the setbacks you get out there and hide like a turtle in your safe shell. ”
Lin Tian tilted his head and glanced at Bai Ling.
He suddenly found that Bai Ling's appearance when he was thinking about things for himself was very cute.
Moreover, looking up at Bai Ling's left face from his lying angle, he found that she had an alternative beauty, a feeling he had never felt in so many years before.
He didn't seem to have looked at Bai Ling very seriously.
The thought flashed through him, and he quickly retracted his thoughts.
Bai Ling is his good friend, a good friend can't be a girlfriend, and if he breaks up, he can't even be a friend.
His mental activity was interrupted by Bai Ling's words.
"When I was pulling peanuts in the morning, I heard your parents say that they borrowed 200,000 yuan from a loan shark to the Daokong master who treated you, and I heard that the loan shark will be repaid in a month. ”
Lin Tian "Teng" suddenly stood up from the recliner.
He didn't know about it.
It was not surprising that he owed money, but what surprised him was that the loan shark parents also dared to borrow, and they were deceived by a liar like Master Daokong!
The amount is not small, 200,000, Master Daokong really dares to deceive!
Lin Tian gritted his teeth, if Master Daokong was in front of him, he really wanted to kill him!
He thought that by selling the peanuts this time, he would be able to pay off the hospital's arrears, and the other debts would be repaid slowly.
However, he was suddenly caught off guard by the fact that he had to repay a loan shark.
It's impossible for usury to let him drag on for so long, and the interest is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
Bai Ling looked at Lin Tian's appearance, and there was a trace of distress in his eyes.
"I really can't do it, I'll go and find a way for you. ”
"No need, you've helped our family too much these days, and if you continue to help, I'm afraid your parents won't let you go home." If you don't have a home to go back, won't you have to stay at our house? Our family doesn't have any extra money, and we have to raise an extra mouth. ”
Listening to Lin Tian's rapid recovery, Bai Ling smiled.
She knew that Lin Tian was an ambitious person, and before she lent him money, it was when he was unconscious and unknowing.
If he knew, he wouldn't have agreed to ask for her money.
"Okay, if you need my help anyway, try to be as loud as you can. ”
Lin Tian flashed a pair of brilliant white teeth at Bai Ling.
"You're welcome, I'll always rely on you. ”
After they had rested at noon, they waited until it was not so sunny and set off to work in the fields.
The peanuts were almost plucked in the morning, and this time the peanuts were mainly plucked.
They got two rectangular iron cages, which were welded by iron rods, and threw the peanuts directly onto the iron cage, and when they were smashed, the peanuts would slide diagonally along the iron cage into the bag, and they could be directly bagged.
The remaining peanuts that are not clean are picked by hand, which ensures that they can pick the peanuts as quickly as possible without harming the peanuts.
It takes strength to throw peanuts, and two men, Lin Tian and Lin Guoming, smashed peanuts in an iron cage one by one, assisted by Wang Cuijuan, Bai Ling and Lin Xiaoguo, who picked peanuts by hand and packed them.
Lin Xiaoguo moved a small stool, sat in the field, and ate peanuts while picking peanuts, humming a nursery rhyme in his mouth, and was overjoyed.
Xiaobao followed them out and ran around the peanut field, looking very happy.
They work very fast, Lin Tian is the main force, and his work speed is two or three times faster than Lin Guoming, which makes Lin Guoming sigh and even say that he is old.
In less than two hours, they were bagging the peanuts.
Pei Lei arranged for the driver to drive the truck to transport it, and drove to their field on time to load the goods on the car.
