Chapter 86: Can't Joke with Dad
Chapter 86: Can't Joke with Dad
On the first day of the National Day holiday, there were a lot more people in Bei'an City than usual.
Various leisure and entertainment venues are doing booming business, and the catering industry is also entering its peak season.
Jiang Wei rarely ran around and stayed in the store to run the business himself.
The farm also closed for seven days in response to the call.
Unfortunately, only those who work in office buildings can enjoy the holiday.
The workers still have to go to work. There is no way around it.
Jiang Ning is a conscientious person. His farm is doing well and he is not short of money.
Double overtime pay was given during the seven-day National Day holiday.
The few people who were originally able to take a break decided not to do so when they heard that there would be overtime pay.
Then I went back to work.
According to regulations, it seems to be three times, but there is no overtime pay in Bei'an.
Being able to give double the amount, and to give it for seven days, is truly unique and there is only one such company.
Triple overtime pay is just a legend.
If they really give three times the salary, I guess no one will take a break.
Everyone has to work overtime.
Everyone in the office is on holiday, and Lao Yang has nowhere to go.
My wife went to Hangzhou for a trip with my son's family and did not go home.
The old comrade didn't want to travel far, so he took the initiative to stay on duty at the farm.
To avoid emergencies where no one is there to deal with them.
He called a few old guys who also had nothing to do to the farm to play cards and chess.
Early in the morning of November 11, Jiang Ning went to the hotel first.
Seeing that everyone was busy, it seemed that his presence would only cause more trouble.
He wisely left and went back to the farm.
He was also alone and had nowhere to go.
Someone slaughtered a sheep and used it as a dish for the group of old men.
I played double knock with some old guys for a while, but it was really boring, so I went home.
It's still early, not time to cook yet.
Feng Xue was moving bricks. The weather was a bit cold, so she didn't turn on the air conditioner. She held a hot water bag in her arms, holding the bag in one hand and operating the mouse with the other. Jiang Ning came in with the key to open the door, but she didn't get up either.
Jiang Ning came over and asked, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"
Feng Xue gestured: "It consumes electricity."
Jiang Ning could barely understand it, but he was speechless.
Are you still short of the electricity bill?
I went over to take a look, then sat next to him and talked for a while.
It feels strenuous.
I went to Feng Yu's bedroom, lay on the bed holding my phone, and talked in the game.
Feng Yu opened an immortal account and accompanied him while pulling the camel and chatting.
Don’t mention it, it’s still fun to play Xian.
One spell killed the scarecrow instantly.
The devil's magic is not effective and can't kill the monster in one go.
The human race is even weaker, with no firepower at all.
Jiang Ning asked: "I want to play a fairy too, how can I change to a fairy?"
Feng Xue: "You are not even level 40 yet. Even if you become a fairy, you can't move in one second."
Jiang Ning had a toothache: "At what level can I move in seconds?"
Feng Xue: "It's different. As the level gets higher, the monster's health also goes up. It's still impossible to kill it in one second. Also, as the level gets higher, the Immortals' firepower can't keep up. Now we need powerful demons and dragons to kill dungeons."
Jiang Ning was speechless: "I feel this man is the most useless."
Feng Xue: "How could that be? Men are the core of a team. Without men to control it, many copies cannot be completed."
Jiang Ning didn't understand and played in a confused manner.
After playing for a while, Feng Xue came with another account and initiated a transaction with him.
He was given a summoned beast, a big golden dog.
It looks quite powerful and domineering. It is level 170 and can drain to HP of a monster in one go.
Jiang Ning felt very happy and became somewhat interested.
This baby is really good, much better than his rubbish little white dog.
There is a world of difference in levels.
His white dog is only level 50, which is really lame.
After pulling the camel for a while and leveling up a few levels, it didn't feel very interesting.
Feng Xue was busy for a long time, instructing him on how to kill himself.
From the first level to the eighth level, the monsters became stronger and stronger. By the seventh level, it was already a bit difficult. It took several rounds to finish. When it reached the eighth level, Feng Xue brought four accounts over and formed a team to kill monsters for him.
Various magical streams, colorful.
The demon pulled out tens of thousands of blood from the monster.
Jiang Ning was jealous. He thought that this kind of fighting race was more interesting.
Men are really too la.
Ask Feng Xue which race has the strongest fighting power.
Feng Xue told him: "There is no such thing as combat effectiveness. Each race has its own role. In a team, immortals and dragons are generally responsible for firepower output, men are responsible for control, demons are responsible for assistance, and ghosts are responsible for blood recovery."
Jiang Ning asked: "Which one is stronger, the dragon or the fairy?"
Feng Xue: "The output is definitely stronger for the dragon clan."
Jiang Ning said, "Then I'll play the dragon."
Feng Xue: "I don't have any dragon equipment."
Jiang Ning asked: "You have so many accounts but no dragons?"
Feng Xue: "Dragon's equipment is too expensive, I can't afford it!"
Jiang Ning said, "Don't you have hundreds of millions of dollars on your account?"
Feng Xue: "Several hundred million is not enough. The better equipment for the dragon cannot be bought with game coins. It requires RMB."
Jiang Ning asked: "How much does it cost?"
Feng Xue: "The junk ones aren't worth much, but the good ones are even more worthless. One weapon costs 80,000 or 90,000 yuan."
Jiang Ning: "..."
Damn, this crappy game is so expensive!
Is there any idiot who would spend eighty or ninety thousand to buy a weapon?
He is considered a wealthy man. It is too stupid to ask him to spend 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to buy a virtual prop in the game. 70,000 or 80,000 yuan is not a small amount of money. How much does a farm worker earn in a year? It would be better to use that money to give some benefits to the salary.
So I decisively gave up the idea of turning into a dragon.
He could just play it for fun. He had no interest in the game anyway.
The main purpose of playing the game is to talk to Feng Xue.
It was almost half past eleven when Feng Xue went to cook.
Jiang Ning also quit the game and did not go to help. He just held his phone and made some calls.
It’s so boring. I need to find something fun to do in the afternoon.
After making a lot of phone calls, he went out to play.
Just busy.
Jiang Ning was scratching his head, why did the National Day turn out like this?
It’s all Feng Yu’s fault. Why go to Ludong?
It would be great if the whole family could go to Hangzhou for a few days.
After waiting for half an hour, lunch was ready.
Feng Xue made rice and fried two random dishes.
Jiang Ning ate a few bites, and the more he thought about it, the more bored he became. He said, "Sister."
Feng Xue looked at him with a questioning look on his face.
Jiang Ning said: "Why don't we go to Ludong to find Feng Yu? This is too boring."
Feng Xue shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to go.
Jiang Ning was helpless.
Feng Xue used sign language: "Go by yourself."
Jiang Ning shook his head: "I went to Feng Yu and the others to study, it would be boring for me to be alone."
Feng Xue said again: "Then go play mahjong."
Jiang Ning nodded, but actually didn't want to go.
He is not a gambler, so it's okay for him to play with his cousins occasionally.
I don't have the interest to play with a bunch of gamblers I don't know.
After lunch, Feng Xue wants to take a nap.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to go to the farm to visit his father.
Jiang Youxin was working and had no time to pay attention to him.
The greenhouse has been built. It is a connected greenhouse supported by a bunch of steel pipes and concrete pillars. Dozens of acres of greenhouses are connected together. It is not like the old rural greenhouses that were divided into many sections by building earth walls and covering them with plastic sheets.
The surroundings haven’t been sealed off yet, but the shed is already feeling a bit stuffy.
The ground had been plowed, and two workers were leveling it on two small tractors.
There were also a dozen temporary workers picking up the roots and rhizomes of various plants in the fields.
Jiang Ning turned around and asked his father, "Dad, isn't it time for you to pay my electricity bill?"
Jiang Youxin looked over and asked, "What electricity bill?"
Jiang Ning said, "Look at you. In order to build a greenhouse for you, I have to pull a line to provide you with electricity. You are not willing to find two people from outside to plow the land, and you have to force my farm workers to work for you. There is also the water fee. I think it’s time to calculate it for you. The rent for the land should also be calculated. I think you will definitely leave all the money you earn to your eldest son, and not give me a penny. No matter how I think about it, I feel that I am at a disadvantage, so let’s settle the accounts as soon as possible."
Jiang Youxin asked, "How much is the rent? I'll pay it for you."
Jiang Ning covered his face and walked away. He was just joking.
I didn't expect my dad to be so humorous.
All my uncle’s rent was confiscated.
How can I collect rent from my own father?
I went to take a look at my uncle's greenhouse next door and ran into my cousin Zhang Yulong.
Zhang Yulong did not go out during the holiday, but helped with work in the greenhouse.
Jiang Ning asked him, "How is your review going?"
Zhang Yulong said: "I think it's OK."
Jiang Ning encouraged him, "Do well in the exam this time."
Zhang Yulong agreed. In October, the county was going to recruit another batch of civil servants, so he signed up. This was his second time applying. He took the civil servant recruitment exam once after the spring, but failed. He has been working while preparing for the exam for the past six months.
It is said that they often study until the early morning.
I don’t even know how I’m learning.
My uncle’s greenhouse is the same as Dad Jiang’s. Both were built by someone hired by my uncle.
However, progress is very fast here and sowing and seedling raising have already begun.
Jiang Ning chatted with his uncle and was about to leave.
Lao Yang called and said, "Boss, one of our employees has a family problem and needs to borrow some money urgently."
Jiang Ning said: "Just take care of these things."
Mr. Yang said, "It's a lot of money to borrow. If you have nothing to do, you'd better come over!"
Jiang Ning said, "I'm in the vegetable field, let's go now."
Lao Yang said OK and hung up the phone.
Jiang Ning left the greenhouse and drove to the office building.
When I arrived at Lao Yang’s office, there was a female employee sitting inside.
His face was filled with sorrow, as if the sky was falling.
Old Yang also had a sigh on his face, obviously there were some big things going on at home.
"boss."
When the female employee saw him come in, she stood up.
"Sit down!"
Jiang Ning walked to the side and sat down, and asked: "What happened at home?"
The female employee spoke while wiping away tears.
Jiang Ning didn't interrupt and just listened.
The female worker's name was Wang Cuifang. Jiang Ning had an impression of her. He didn't know about her family situation, but he knew that this woman worked desperately. She could do all the work that a man could do, and she didn't mind dirty work or hard work.
After listening to her for a while, I finally understood the situation at home.
It turned out that the man had been ill and could not do heavy physical work.
Women are the backbone of the family, but the harder life gets, the more hardships they face.
The man was diagnosed with cancer last month. It wasn't too serious, just colon cancer. It was said that it could be cured by surgery, but it was discovered too late, which was a bit troublesome. He had to go to the provincial capital for the surgery. His family had poor relatives, so he borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from them.
Far from enough.
It is said that two hundred thousand are required to be prepared.
There was really no other choice but to borrow money from the boss.
I also have to take leave to take my man to see a doctor.
After listening to him, Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry about the money. Saving lives is more important. Go pack your things first and come back to get the money later."
Wang Cuifang was very hesitant: "Boss, can I come back to work after I finish my work?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Of course, I'll come back to work when I'm done."
Wang Cuifang felt relieved and went to pack her things.
