Chapter 229: The Land and Water of Your Village is Extremely Nourishing
In their early twenties, their appetites were at their peaks, yet their family situations were not good. The living allowances from their parents were scanty, and their daily struggle was to make ends meet. Now that they’ve found jobs to supplement their living costs, eating without worry is no longer a problem.
Most importantly, the jobs Tong Yao offered were long-term. As long as they did well, they could work until they graduate. If they save a bit, they can even accumulate a little money.
No longer did they have to work as exhausted porters like before, earning a measly yuan a day, and even had to pay compensation if they accidentally broke something.
Such good news, they had to make a call home and share it right away.

On Tong Yao’s side, she was looking at the workers doing the renovation when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Boss, are you hiring here? I was referred by Zhou Lei. He had a stomachache and went to the toilet. I am here alone..."
The speaker stopped mid-sentence when he saw Tong Yao turn around. Gu Hongwei’s words got stuck in his throat as he stared at Tong Yao incredulously for a while.
Tong Yao was surprised to find out that the classmate Zhou Lei was talking about was Gu Hongwei. She laughed and said, "Gu Hongwei, you got into Kyoto University? That’s a coincidence. I graduated from there too."
Gu Hongwei returned to his senses and asked incredulously, "How did you end up in Kyoto?" As soon as he said this, he felt he sounded silly. Tong Yao was originally from Kyoto. Her being there was normal.
