Liu Wensheng: "I have to call home and ask. I'm not sure if they are willing to come over."
Li Jinshan also regained his seriousness and said to Lu Yao, "I mean the same thing. Many people in our hometown have never been to the county in their lives, let alone come to the capital. After I passed the exam, my parents happily invited everyone to dinner. He kept telling me to take a closer look and talk to them when I got back."
Lu Yao could imagine that scene.
"It's okay, you can just help and ask. You don't have to force them to come or not, but you reassure them that as long as they come, they will take care of their food and housing, and they won't be owed wages. When the farming is busy, they can go home at any time, and they will pay for the round trip. We will come out and we will never let them suffer."
Li Jinshan: "Actually, this is also a good thing. It depends on whether they dare to come."
Liu Wensheng: "Maybe my dad and the others can come. I have a few cousins. I'll talk to them and they should come. I'm not sure about the others."
"It doesn't matter, you can come as many as you want," Lu Yao smiled at him, "You must tell them clearly how much the wages will be. You also know the situation here. It's okay for them to call me a liar, but I can't let them say the same. You are liars."
Li Jinshan and Liu Wensheng smiled and said, "Okay."
"Thank you then. When the matter is settled, I will treat you two to dinner."
Li Jinshan: "Put it down, we are two grown men, and we still need a girl from you to treat us to dinner. If it spreads, people will laugh to death."
Lu Yao raised her finger and pointed at him, "Okay, don't let me treat you to dinner in this life."
Liu Wensheng: "Okay, don't be poor. Let's call and ask first."
Then he said to Lu Yao, "There is news, I will inform you immediately."
Lu Yao: "Okay, thank you."
In the evening, Duan Mingjie used Chen Dazhuang's relationship to invite village party secretaries from twenty nearby villages to have dinner at a state-owned hotel.
"Thank you all for coming over to dinner. My name is Duan Mingjie. Let me toast you all first. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."
Duan Mingjie held the wine glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
Party secretaries, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t mean to drink.
Duan Mingjie didn't lose face. He sat down and chatted with them for a while before getting down to business.
A village party secretary said, "Comrade Duan Mingjie, we can't help you with this. Everyone in our village has a job."
Chen Dazhuang glared at him, "Don't open your eyes and tell lies. 70% of your village has no jobs."
After being exposed, the man felt very humiliated and said, "But we can't help outsiders deal with our locals, right?"
Duan Mingjie's heart sank.
Chen Dazhuang poured himself a glass of wine, stood up, raised it, and looked at everyone one by one, "Xiao Duan is a newcomer to our village. If he has entered the household registration of our production brigade, he is a native of our capital city!"
"Besides, it was the Qi family who were not honest in the first place. If they competed fairly, we would have nothing to do with it. But now it is a malicious competition. Word has spread, saying that we Beijing residents exclude outsiders! It's not a shame!"
"Also, Xiao Duan didn't ask for your help for nothing. If you have any requests, just ask. No one of us will talk to anyone outside this door."
The last sentence made everyone tempted, but no one dared to say it.
Chen Dazhuang looked at Duan Mingjie. Duan Mingjie understood and promised them, "Before the busy farming season, any workers you introduce to me who can do 80 jobs will receive a commission of two yuan each. For 100 workers, it will be two hundred yuan."
Not to mention too many referrals, if one person introduces 50 people, they will get 100 yuan after three months.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one said the first word.
Duan Mingjie saw that they couldn't give an answer today, so he said, "Don't worry, everyone can go back and think slowly. I'll wait for everyone's news."
After that, more than 20 village party secretaries kept drinking wine, and Duan Mingjie had to drink. Fortunately, he had a good capacity for drinking, otherwise he would have passed out.
Seeing that Duan Mingjie was about to lose his footing, Chen Dazhuang waved his hand, "Okay, okay, hurry up and eat some food and go home."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Mingjie let out a sigh and fell to the ground.
Chen Dazhuang's face turned pale, and he knelt down to help him, "Xiao Duan, are you okay?"
Duan Mingjie waved his hand, "It's okay."
Chen Dazhuang helped him up and asked him to sit on the stool. "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Duan Mingjie sobered up a little, "It's okay, Uncle Chen, let's eat."
After that, no one persuaded him to drink. After it was over, more than 20 village party secretaries left one after another. Chen Dazhuang supported Duan Mingjie. Feng Wei, who was standing guard outside the door, walked in and bent down to carry Duan Mingjie on his back.
I don't know whether it was squeezed into Duan Mingjie's stomach, or because he couldn't hold it anymore, so he opened his mouth and spit it out, dripping down Feng Wei's collar.
Feng Wei frowned, tried his best to endure the filthy smell, and walked out with Duan Mingjie on his back.
Chen Dazhuang followed behind.
"How much alcohol has he drank?"
Chen Dazhuang: "Three bottles is more."
Feng Wei raised his head and glanced at Duan Mingjie, only to see him lying on his shoulder as if dead, breathing heavily and heavily, "You really want money rather than your life!"
It's nine o'clock and Duan Mingjie hasn't gone home yet.
Lu Yao and Gu Fulan were sitting at home worried.
Gu Fulan wanted to curse a few words, but was afraid that Lu Yao would think too much, so she simply held it back.
Lu Yao pinched her fingers, and suddenly, she ran towards the door.
Gu Fulan followed behind, "What are you doing running so fast!"
Lu Yao opened the door and saw three people in the night.
After her eyes adjusted to the dark night, Lu Yao quickly caught Duan Mingjie on Feng Wei's back and the smell of alcohol filling the air.
Lu Yao's eyes turned red immediately, and tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
She came over and said in a choked voice, "Let me help him."
Feng Wei was a little embarrassed, "Brother and sister, Lao Duan told me on the way that you won't be allowed to touch him. He's too dirty."
Lu Yao sniffed and reached out to take Duan Mingjie from Feng Wei's back, "It's okay, I don't feel dirty, just give him to me."
As soon as Gu Fulan came out, she saw Duan Mingjie leaning on Lu Yao, smelling of alcohol.
"Oh my god, how much have you drunk? I'm going to die!"
Hearing this, Lu Yao felt as if someone had stabbed her chest, and the pain caused her body to twitch subconsciously.
Duan Mingjie seemed to smell Lu Yao's scent, and couldn't help but hug her waist, "Daughter-in-law, I'm back."
Lu Yao held back her tears and hummed softly, "Let's go home and wash up, okay?"
Duan Mingjie nodded.
Lu Yao said to Feng Wei and Chen Dazhuang, "Uncle Chen, Feng Wei, come over and sit for a while."
Chen Dazhuang waved his hand, "It's too late, so I won't go. Duan Mingjie vomited all over Feng Wei. Let him take care of Duan Mingjie. His clothes are dirty anyway."
After saying that, Chen Dazhuang left.
Only then did Lu Yao realize that Feng Wei's clothes were dirty, "Come in and clean it up quickly. There is hot water at home. You can go in and wash it off. Wear Duan Mingjie's clothes first."
