Zheng Weiguo's face was dull, but he also knew that his mother was at fault first, so he didn't hold back at this moment, "Old man, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. I'm sorry."
Grandma Yue leaned back, looked at Zheng Weiguo, who was dressed in military uniform, and nodded approvingly, "Sure enough, a soldier is sensible and capable, better than your mother-in-law and your big brother who can only run away."
Zheng Weiguo, who was praised, did not feel happy at all, but became even more embarrassed.
Seeing Zheng Weiguo's helpless and uncomfortable look, Lu Yao felt a little distressed, but thinking of what Dong Niannian said yesterday, she still chose to remain silent.
Zheng Weiguo glanced at Lu Yao, who kept her head lowered, and finally said nothing, said hello to the old lady and left.
The old lady was speechless, "It's a pity that such a good person ended up with such a bitch."
Lu Yao pursed her lips. What Uncle Zheng had on the table was not only his mother, but also his evil-minded elder brother and his evil-minded daughter.
But none of this has anything to do with her. She will never have anything to do with Uncle Zheng again.
The next day, Lu Yao called Dong Defense and Lu Jianguo and told them that they should have done well in the exam. Dong Defense and Lu Jianguo were very happy to hear this.
Lu Jianguo also said that he would bring Su Su over to see her.
"Dad, you can come back after Susu has passed the winter vacation. It often snows in the capital in winter. I heard that the Forbidden City is very beautiful after it snows. Then you can come over and let's take a look."
Lu Jianguo was a little surprised, "Can I go see the Forbidden City? I remember someone said that I need to make an appointment in advance."
"No need now, just bring a letter of introduction."
Bringing a letter of introduction is mainly for staying in a hotel. Lu Yao will definitely not let them stay in a hotel, but it would be better to have a letter of introduction in case it is needed.
Lu Jianguo agreed immediately, "Okay, I will take your sister there when she goes on winter vacation. You must tell me as soon as possible after the college entrance examination results come out."
"Okay!" Lu Yao asked, remembering something, "Did Li Dong take the college entrance examination?"
"I took part, and he specifically asked me if you had taken the college entrance examination. We just took the exam today."
Two days later, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie called the village. Duan Mingming's voice was very cheerful, and it seemed that he had done well in the exam.
After the college entrance examination, Duan Mingjie and Tang Yi began to clean up the vacant land.
The couple came to the home of village chief Chen Dazhuang.
Chen Dazhuang has now found more than 20 people, "Xiao Duan, you use these people first, and I will find them for you later."
Duan Mingjie: "Uncle, thank you, you really helped us a lot."
Chen Dazhuang waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter. I heard that you and Tang Yi worked on this project together. I thought you didn't need anyone anymore, so I didn't look for them. These more than 20 people were found before you were injured." "
Duan Mingjie: "Uncle, you should look for me. There will be many places that will need people in the future."
Tang Yi has hundreds of people under him, which is more than enough now, but it will not be enough after the year, and Tang Yi does not only have this project in his hands, so they still need manpower.
"Okay, I'll look for it for you."
Lu Yao looked at Li Hongmei who was not very happy and said with a smile, "Auntie, we are short of a cook. Are you willing to go?"
Hearing this, Li Hongmei looked at Lu Yao in disbelief, and raised her eyebrows.
"How much do you pay me per day?"
Chen Dazhuang glared at her. Before he could do anything, he started talking about money.
Lu Yao smiled at her good-naturedly, "Now we cook two meals a day, breakfast and lunch, for 10 cents a day. I will ask Aunt Guan to come with you. When the work starts after the new year and there are more people from other places, Just three meals a day for 20 cents a day, do you think that’s okay?”
Li Hongmei was instantly moved.
It only costs a dime to cook two meals, what a deal!
It only costs thirty cents for a grown man to work on a construction site for a day.
Just when she was about to agree, Chen Dazhuang said, "Yaoyao, this is too much. It's just two meals. You just buy the things. Your aunt is idle at home, so just think of it as helping."
Li Hongmei is anxious, she won't do it in vain!
Lu Yao said disapprovingly, "Uncle, you can't say that. This is my aunt's job. Since it is a job, how can I not pay her? A woman must have her own career and a small treasury. Although a dime a day is a bit small." , but my aunt can help the family earn money, and she feels a sense of accomplishment!"
Hearing this, Li Hongmei was extremely ashamed.
In the past, she often spoke ill of Lu Yao and had a bad attitude towards her, but Lu Yao helped her make money.
Chen Dazhuang glanced at his wife and understood that she knew she was wrong, but she just couldn't save face.
"Okay, then I'll thank you and your wife on behalf of your aunt."
Lu Yao smiled and waved her hand, "Uncle, this is what aunt did for us and our couple. We are new here and don't know anyone. Except for aunt and Aunt Guan, Duan Mingjie and I can't trust anyone. If we want to thank you, we are also thanking you." That’s it.”
Chen Hongmei lowered her head, blushing to her neck. Lu Yao's words were like an invisible slap on her face, making her feel ashamed.
Chen Dazhuang pointed at Lu Yao and said to Duan Mingjie, "Xiao Duan, your mouth is not as good as Yaoyao's."
Duan Mingjie looked at Lu Yao dotingly, "My wife is indeed better than me."
A few words made Li Hongmei unable to raise her head.
After talking about good things, the couple left.
When they were far away, Li Hongmei approached Chen Dazhuang and said, "Dazhuang, isn't Lu Yao tricking me?"
Chen Dazhuang glanced at her speechlessly, "What is she teasing you about?"
Li Hongmei felt guilty, "Didn't I say bad things about her before? She even asked me to cook for them."
In fact, she knew in her heart that Guan Zhenlian could cook well by herself and she was not needed at all.
"I can only say that he is broad-minded and well-organized, so don't say bad things about him in the future."
Li Hongmei bit her lip, "I know."
What Chen Dazhuang didn't tell her was that Lu Yao asked her to cook not only to return the favor, but also to keep her and Guan Zhenlian in check.
Sooner or later they will hand over the task of grocery shopping, and it is easy to profit from it if only one person cooks.
Just adding Li Hongmei will not only make him more happy to help them in the future, but also restrain each other.
I have to say that Lu Yao is indeed very smart.
Of course, his mind is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie told Guan Zhenlian about the matter when they went back.
Guan Zhenlian patted her chest and promised, "Wrap it on me, and I promise to make it clean for you."
It’s not easy to eat as much as you want on the construction site, but it must be clean so that workers don’t get hungry.
Lu Yao smiled at Guan Zhenlian, "I can only rest assured if I leave this matter to you."
Guan Zhenlian was overjoyed to be trusted. She looked at Duan Mingjie and said, "Yao Yao has suffered a lot because of you. I will make money in the future, but remember that Yaoyao will take care of the overall situation and help you today."
If it were her, she would definitely not want Li Hongmei to cook.
Duan Mingjie held Lu Yao's hand, his gentle eyes filled with love, "I know."
