Her Cultivation Diary

Feeling the unique texture that's tough on the outside and a bit firm inside, it got more flavorful the more she chewed. So she put Yun Duo aside and turned to leave the house.

After a while, she brought out a bowl: "We didn't grow much ginger this year, only these few in the pickling jar, and I've taken them all out. Give it a try!"

...

A group of university students were present, but no one tried to persuade Yun Duo more about her matters. She sat there blankly, just feeling empty inside.

After a little while, she noticed movement on the sofa beside her as someone sat down.

The person was a man with skin not that fair but looked quite lean and fit, possibly Song Tan's cousin? Named Wu Lei?

He looked at her and suddenly smiled, instantly revealing a goofy charm: "You really don't want to go to university?"

Yunyun hesitated: "I..." I haven't decided yet.

To her surprise, Wu Lei slapped his thigh: "Not going is great! Let me tell you, I also studied for years, and didn't I still get dumped by my girlfriend in the end?"

"With someone like you, who doesn't seem too bright and only knows to keep your head down working, you'll definitely get dumped by your boyfriend sooner or later, just like me."

His non-stop chatter wiped away Yun Duo's confused thoughts, leaving her with a million things she wanted to refute.

"You..."

But just as she opened her mouth, Wu Lei asked: "Do you want to stay here and work with Tantan? I'm going home to raise cattle this year, and there's only Uncle Zhang at the farm, it's quite hard."

Wu Lei was sincerely asking.

He always thought his work at the farm was irreplaceable, and if he left, Tantan wouldn't find someone to take his place.

Now everyone was a family, shouldn't they think of ways to find someone to replace his work? That job isn't even tiring after doing it long enough, perfect for young folks.

So he looked even more earnest: "Let me tell you, my job is so easy, with meals and lodging provided, and all the money gets saved."

"Aren't you just wanting to earn money? But you have to be able to save it too. Working here is really cost-effective."

"If it weren't for you being young, this opportunity might not even come your way."

"You just have to shovel manure every day, no degree needed, just do it directly."

—Good, good, good!

His sincere words nearly made Yun Duo laugh in anger.

What? Because she didn't go to college, even a job shoveling manure has to be treated like a treasure for her?

No wonder he seems to have achieved nothing at his age, he must not have studied hard in college, just dating... Shh!

Her sharp eyebrows rose, her expression full of disdain. She now stood up directly, bowing courteously to everyone:

"Thank you all. Today you've really awakened me, I will definitely study well! I'll get the certificates I need. In the future, it will definitely be me choosing the job, not the job choosing me."

She was filled with heroic spirit, at this moment ignoring Wu Lan's attempts to keep her, she rushed out the door.

Lao Song's family was stunned immediately: Huh? We haven't even started seriously persuading her, how come she's already gone?

After a bit, Yun Duo came back, then picked up each plastic bag from the crate:

"I forgot to tell you all — Aunt, this is yellow elm mushrooms, this is chicken mushrooms, this is hazel mushrooms... this is bamboo fungus..."

When she was about to finish explaining how to eat these, Wu Lan finally had a chance to speak:

"Well... Yun Duo, why not talk a bit more? Is the conversation over?"

"It's over." Yun Duo stood up, seriously looked at Wu Lan: "Aunt, thank you all. I will definitely make my sister proud."

Just discussing the taste of the pickled ginger with Lun Chuan, Song Tan was also stunned, couldn't help but ponder again:

"I just said a few casual words and it woke her up."

Is it really that easy to wake her up?

As soon as the words fell, he saw Wu Lei shaking his head quite seriously:

"Really stubborn like a mule, doesn't respond when led, and retreats when pushed... Good advice doesn't work, introducing a job, and she insists on going to university..."

"Oh!" he sighed in frustration, then asked Song Tan:

"When I leave in the spring, who will take care of collecting the manure and fermenting the fertilizer?"

Wow! Brother Wu Lei actually has this sense of responsibility, truly remarkable.

Song Tan looked at him with a smile:

"When spring comes, the cattle and sheep are free-range, usually not much work, Uncle Zhang will just be responsible for picking these."

"As for fermentation... don't you know there's a machine for that? It's just because Brother Wu Lei you used to do it so energetically, I haven't had the equipment sent over."

Such a truth was simply too demoralizing.

Wu Lei stood there in a daze for a long time, finally muttering in frustration:
