RENTIERS
Fathan glanced at his uncle, asking for help. The glimpsed also understood with the code given by his nephew .
"this is how Kang is! if the wage problem is, as in general, but for the matter of eating and banquets to the employee it is up to who has rice fields.and at most there is an additional cost, to buy solar!" kamal said he gave an answer.
"How much does it cost to buy solar?"
"How many liters of Tan? To harvest a paddy field that is only 5000 meters?"
"At least about 5 liters Mang, because I had checked the solar is still there. Mamang had bought 10 liters of diesel, right?"
"That means that my rice field which is one hectare, requires 10 liters of diesel!" ask Dadun to make sure.
"Well around that, Mang!" answer Fathan.
Dadun was silent for a moment, as if again weighing the expenses he would spend, when he was about to harvest rice using a machine owned by Fathan.
"Well if it's like that! tomorrow you can harvest my rice!" Ask Dadun finally made a decision, Because after calculating the cost it is cheaper when compared to using human labor.
"God willing, we can do it!"
"Well, if you can, here I have Rp200,000. enough not to buy solar and food?"
"Mang Enough!" answer Fathan.
Finally Dadun gave the money as DP the work that Fathan was going to do tomorrow morning. Fathan received the money, and he promised that tomorrow he would come to the fields with his uncle.
After the talks ended, it turned out that other residents began to arrive.to ask Fathan to help harvest it. Finally Fathan and Kamal were flooded with orders from the villagers sukadarma.
"Mang!" Call Fathan to his uncle, after no guests have come.
"What's up Tan?" Kamal asked as he exhaled a breath of smoke.
"I want to ask for help! but sorry Before, I wasn't insolent!" said Fathan who felt bad.
"What the hell! If you want to talk, by the way! Don't argue like that."
"You don't! Mamaang help me to harvest the crops of the citizens, later I teach about how to use the harvesting machine." Fathan clearly made his point.
Got a very tempting offer, because in fact he was very interested in the machine owned by his nephew.Kamal immediately nodded his head sign he agreed.
"You Mang?"
"Can! How can! now Mamang is your employee, right?" kamal asked with a happy smile.
"No, Mang! we work together, then our results for Three." Obviously Fathan who does not want to be the boss, because he wants them together to develop the farm in the village sukadarma.
"In For three who's the same tan? aren't you two?" Ask Sari who participated in the trip, she was interested when there was a discussion of money there.
"For three equal repayment of the rice harvesting machine, because I bought the machine was not cash, Bi!"
"Oh kirain! Divided by three equals Aunt." Sari replied with a smile, she understood what her nephew was trying to do.
"you have not beaten your aunt, if her money problem is number one. Now you set up How good, uncle is impatient to try to run the rice harvester machine. And if you have a job like now, Mamang do not have to wait for Idan, send money when you need something." Kamal answered, refuting his wife's words.
Finally, the conversation that night was finished, with the decision of the two of them tomorrow will work together, to harvest the rice of residents who have given DP payment. Fathan asks for permission to return home, although Sari and Kamal tell him to sleep in his son's room because they don't want his nephew to be scolded by his parents.Fathan refuses, because he thinks the more we stay away from parents, the more strained their relationship will be. he wants to establish a relationship back slowly with his family. Rejected from his nephew, his uncle and aunt could not resist, until they allowed Fathan to go home.
Arriving at home, only a sour face welcome that Fathan got from both parents.let alone chat, reprimanding him was not. Although Fathan continued to approach slowly, but they remained Acuh as if he did not care about the whereabouts of his son. Fathan only smiled because he already knew the attitude of his parents.then went into the room not want to drag on thinking about things that are not important.
After being in the room he opened the laptop brought from the city, then he opened the YouTube video application to create an account. He named his youtube account "vegetable basket" he chose that name not without reason, he hopes that by that name he can become a reservoir of vegetables produced by the people of sukadarma village.in addition to being a reservoir, he also wants to be a pioneer of agricultural success. Which accommodates grievances and find solutions from farmers.
After he finished creating a YouTube account, he also edited the video that was taken by his sister.he continued to work tirelessly until midnight passed.although sleepy began to approach, he continued, but he remained enthusiastic so that finally the video edited by Fathan was completed. then he uploaded the video to his youtube channel.
The next morning, Fathan was ready to go to his aunt's house, just as last night his family had not given any response about Fathan's work.just the sour face and frown he received, except with his sisters he can still say hello.
Arriving at Sari's house, it was seen that her aunt was drying freshly harvested rice yesterday. Seeing the arrival of his nephew he stopped the work for a while, alu approached.
"Breakfast first Tan!" bargain his aunt who already knew that Fathan had not had breakfast at his house.
"Yes already, sana! Bibi made fried rice. Auntie wants to continue drying the paddy."
"Where will that rice go?" fathan asked because he saw Kamal, who had just come home on a motorcycle, then he raised some rice sacks on his bike.
"Custom make a deposit to kang Ujang! because the rice field that you harvested yesterday the letter was already there." hearing his aunt's explanation like that Fathan frowned, not understanding what was said.
"Oh so!" Fathan answered who would not go on long discussing what He did not understand.
"You have breakfast there!"
Fathan did not keep asking, he went into his aunt's house, went straight to the kitchen, for breakfast first. after breakfast, he returned to the yard.
"The chef's out Bi?" asked Fathan who looked in wonder at his aunt who was sitting in the front seat of the house.
"It used to fit Idan college, Bibi pawned a land letter to kang Ujang, but until now the aunt has not had the money to make up for it."
"What did it take?"
"All that was just paying the interest, because Bibi couldn't pay the principal. So inevitably, every harvest has to deposit a ton of aunt's produce."
"Dam4n! What kind of loan is bi, it mah not lending but robbing. Lagian Idan has long graduated from college, the time is not finished, is it a debt?"
"No Tan! Aunty has not been able to pay the principal of the debt, because Bibi can only pay arrears of flowers that have been betrothed." Sari replied that her eyes were condensing, she felt sad to be constantly chased by loan sharks.
Hearing his aunt's words like that, Fathan only scratched his head that did not feel itchy. It's appropriate why his aunt was always in trouble in food, even though he knew, he knew, his rice fields are almost the same as the rice fields owned by his parents. it turns out that now he knows where the problem is.
"It's confused as well as that, meaning that Bibi only got 2 quintals, if yesterday Fathan took part Patan."
"Yes, Tan! The result does not include paying fertilizer, which is the same aunt debt. has not paid the others, so we farm, only get tired and tired without producing anything. Just filial work." Aunty Fathan's story took a swab of the condensing clear liquid about to spill.
"Who is in debt to Kang Ujang?"
"Hush! be careful, by the way, Kang Ujang's spies are everywhere!"
"Times!"
"Yes Kang Ujang right, a lot of his property.many also become sycophants.you have to be careful with a person named Kang Ujang!" Sari said while whispering, afraid that someone might pass by from Kang Ujang's spy.
"Well, who is in debt?" ask Fathan to repeat the question because he has not received an answer.
"Nearly half even most of the citizens of our village, have a debt to Kang Ujang. Except for your father who refused to borrow money to Kang Ujang. because he held firm with his stance, who did not want to plant debt.most Kang Ujang target of borrowing the money, he said, are the people who were given land by Mr. Darma. As we know Mr. Darma once distributed his land letters to the citizens of the poor. From there, Kang Ujang has the ambition to take back the land given by his late father-in-law."
"Bad!" hiss Fathan is out of control, he's very upset. The rich man should help the difficult people as the late Mr. Darma did, not even strangle the citizens by lending money, with interest so high and unclear.
But when again gossiping Ria heard the sound of Kamal's motorbike which had just delivered rice to Kang Ujang's house.quickly Bi Sari Pun pressed her index finger to her lips, and then she put it on her back, so that what they had just talked about did not reach her husband's ears.
"When are you going to Tan?" ask Kamal who just got off the bike.
"Now it's a mang! Fathan was waiting for Mamang."
"Yes just now Mamang also met Kang Dadun, he reminded me again of what was talked about last night."
"Yes, let's go! that's the rice field, right, that's near Mamang rice fields?"
"Yes it!"
"But before leaving please buy the solar first, all of you buy the needs of Mamang.rok0k and his coffee!" exclaiming Fathan while issuing a gift from Kang Dadun and several other residents last night.
Kamal nodded, then took the money and then he went inside to change his clothes first. After it was felt everything was ready. eventually they left together even though not in the same direction.
Arriving at the rice field, Fathan began to work to harvest the rice fields kang Dadun. No matter how long, Kamal also came to follow while carrying a compound containing solar. Seeing his uncle coming, Fathan turned off the engine, then Kamal approached.
"Why did Tan's engine break down?" Kamal asked with a worried look on his face.
"No mang! Fathan wants to teach Mamang how to operate this Rice harvester." Answer Fathan
"At tomorrow, Tan? Now Uncle help the usual ones first."
