"ah?"
"Did you call me? I didn't hear you at all!" Qu Erlong sat on the sofa and replied with an embarrassed look on his face. He really didn't hear you.
Qu Lianwu rolled his eyes at him, and then inadvertently saw a box of Maotai wine on the table in the restaurant, and his eyes widened:
"Brother Lianjie, are we going to drink this wine today?"
Qu Lianjie smiled and nodded:
"Of course you drink this and make sure it's enough. This box isn't enough. My dad still has some in the car. No one is allowed to run away today. We have to get drunk before we stop!"
"Hahaha, it's necessary~" Everyone responded with a smile.
"Let's stop talking and let's get to the table and start drinking!" Qu Lianjie said to everyone.
After everyone was seated, Qu Lianjie opened a bottle of wine. He stood up and wanted to pour it for everyone, but Qu Erlong, who was younger in seniority and age, grabbed it and made a joke:
"You are all elders, I should pour you wine!"
At this time Qu Lianwu, who had a better relationship with Qu Erlong, laughed and cursed:
"Damn, now I know I'm an elder. We drank together two days ago, and I only missed you by one bottle. You kid won't let me live or die!"
After Qu Erlong filled the wine glasses and wine dispensers in front of everyone, Qu Lianjie stood up, picked up the wine glass and said:
"My grandma and the rest are at Brother Shunzi's house, so they didn't prepare much food, just some cooked food and leftovers. The reception was a bit poor, but the wine management was enough!"
"We agreed in advance that if you can drink, you can drink more, and if you can't, drink less. I would like to toast you the first glass of wine and thank you for coming!"
After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it first. Seeing this, the others also raised their glasses and drank it.
Then Qu Lianjie picked up the wine dispenser and poured another glass:
"I have to apologize to everyone with this glass of wine. I have indeed neglected everyone over the years. This is my fault. This glass of wine should be regarded as my apology to everyone~"
Everyone present was moved when they heard Qu Lianshun's words. Everyone had complained before, thinking that he would turn his back on people after he got rich. They came this time just for Qu Lianshun's sake.
However, someone who is so rich can take the initiative to apologize this time, so what else can he say? It is a time when young people have not yet made mistakes, and everyone has forgiven Qu Lianjie from the bottom of their hearts.
After finishing the second glass of wine, Qu Lianjie poured another glass, looked at everyone present and smiled:
"The third glass of wine is to celebrate our friendship~"
"Fuck~" Everyone raised their glasses.
After three glasses of white wine, the scene suddenly became lively. Some people were a little reluctant to let go at first, but now they all let go. You and I chatted all day long.
Just eating and chatting like this, time passed slowly. In the end, everyone drank more than a pound. Some people were not good at drinking, such as Qu Lianwu, who had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
Qu Lianjie had a good drinking capacity and was leaning on a chair chatting with Qu Lianshun sitting next to him:
"Brother Shunzi, Erlong is repairing cars in the county, and Xiaowu is working as an auxiliary policeman at the town police station. What are you busy with now? What does your sister-in-law do?"
Qu Lianshun put a peanut into his mouth and then replied:
"You also know that I haven't been good at studying since I was a child. After graduating from junior high school for two years, I went to serve in the army. After I came back, I didn't have any skills. I usually just mess around with fruits and vegetables."
"Your sister-in-law used to work as a waiter in a hotel in the city. After getting married, in order to take care of the family, she worked in the middle school cafeteria in the town. It's not far away, so she's not tired from working every day~"
Qu Lianjie frowned after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he suggested:
"Brother Shunzi, why don't you go to the Magic City? Ozawa Yang will be able to receive a better education there in the future!"
Qu Lianshun was a little surprised when he heard this. After reacting, he immediately shook his head and refused:
"No, a few years ago when I just came back from serving in the army, I also worked in Uncle Big Tou's building materials factory for a while. As you know my character, I'm definitely not the type to work in a factory!"
Qu Lianjie smiled when he heard this:
"You misunderstood Brother Shunzi. I didn't ask you to go to my dad's place, but to follow me!"
"Follow you, what are you doing?" Qu Lianshun had a question mark on his face.
Qu Lianjie patted his head and explained:
"I blame me for not making it clear to you. I have opened several hot pot restaurants in Shanghai. Now I have three restaurants. I will open several more branches after I return.
"In order to ensure freshness, I plan to distribute the ingredients in all stores uniformly. Purchasing is more important. I plan to let you do this. Don't worry about the salary, it will definitely be more than what you make now!"
"And you don't have to worry about my sister-in-law. She has also worked as a waitress before, so she can start directly as the foreman!"
Qu Lianshun was a little excited after hearing this. In this way, the wages of him and his wife could at least double their current income.
Moreover, at his age, he was really unwilling to stay in his hometown. After all, Qu Lianshun drank more than a pound of liquor. He was about to agree immediately on impulse, but in the end he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He said to Qu Lianjie with some embarrassment:
"Thank you Lianjie, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity, but this matter is a bit big, I have to go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law!"
Qu Lianjie also understood, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said sincerely:
"Brother Shunzi, if you want to say thank you or not, just say that. We two brothers had the best relationship when we were young. If you say that again, I'll get angry!"
In fact, this matter was not Qu Lianjie's impromptu idea. He had indeed been looking for a procurement candidate. This position was very important and he had to choose someone he trusted very much.
Moreover, the work of this position is not light. Every night, the store will make a list of the ingredients needed for tomorrow. After purchasing according to the list, he has to deliver it to each store. This requires getting up early every morning to work. .
…
Everyone drank until night. After Qu Lianshun staggered home, he told his family what Qu Lianjie had said before in the living room, and then asked:
"Dad, Mom, Xiaohong, do you think I should promise Lian Jie?"
Qi Hong was a little moved while holding her son. No one would want to stay in the countryside forever if there were better choices. However, her father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't say anything. As a daughter-in-law, she couldn't say anything first.
Qu Lianshun's mother is a very traditional housewife. When she heard her son's words, she immediately replied:
"Mom has no objection, I listen to your dad!"
The head of the family, Qu Dajiang, frowned, obviously thinking. Finally, he looked at his son with a troubled expression and said:
"Shunzi, when you came back from serving in the army a few years ago, you worked in your uncle Datou's factory, but you ran back after only two days of working, which made me embarrassed to speak when I saw your uncle Datou! "
"This time you..." His son was already older, so Qu Dajiang did not say the next words.
Qu Lianshun also understood what his father was going to say and said firmly:
"Mom, dad, don't worry. My son now has a wife and children, so he won't be as uncertain as before. I will definitely follow Lian Jie and work hard to create a good living environment for Zeyang!"
Qu Dajiang nodded when he heard this. He felt very happy and felt that his son had grown up. He said with sincerity:
"That's all you can think of. I wanted you to take my position before, but now that Lian Jie has given you this opportunity, you must do it well!"
