After Lu Yao finished speaking, Qi Congcong exhaled heavily in anger.
Meeting Lu Yao's eyes, she felt so guilty that she organized her words, "Yao Yao, I really don't know about this. Don't worry, I'll go back in a minute and ask them to stop. This is nonsense!"
No matter how old you are, you are still making trouble with your juniors. If word spreads about it, it will make people laugh.
Seeing that Qi Congcong didn't seem to be faking, Lu Yao said, "Aunt Cong, I didn't come to you to ask you to go back. How about them? The capital is so big and there are many buildings. My wife can't take care of her all by herself. You two We have no objection to my brother wanting to do engineering work, we just hope everyone can compete fairly."
Qi Congcong: "Yao Yao, I understand what you mean. My second brother is free. I used to find a job in the housing management bureau, but I didn't like the rules and regulations in the unit. I just wanted to be free. After I resigned, I started doing this. .”
It’s okay to do this, but it’s okay if everyone does their own thing!
Lu Yao observed Qi Congcong's expression and found that she did not agree with what her mother's family had done, so she said no more.
You can tell yourself what's wrong with your mother's family, but others can't.
Qi Congcong stood up and said, "Yao Yao, I won't keep you here anymore. I'm going back to my parents' home now. Don't worry, you and your lover. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you!"
Lu Yao stood up and bowed to her, "Thank you, Aunt Cong."
"You kid, why are you thanking me? Just wait for me and let's go out together."
Lu Yao agreed.
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the army compound.
The result was surprisingly smooth.
She prepared a lot of words, but none of them came into use.
She didn't expect Qi Congcong to be so good.
Sure enough, there are still many good people in this world!
Lu Yao went home happily. As soon as she got home, she saw the yard full of people.
Lu Yao was dumbfounded. If Duan Mingjie and Zheng Weiguo weren't sitting there, she would have suspected that she had gone to the wrong place.
Seeing Lu Yao come back, Duan Mingjie walked over and held her hand, explaining to her, "Uncle Zheng found the workers for us."
Lu Yao looked at him in shock.
Duan Mingjie nodded, "They are all soldiers who retired and returned to their hometown. Uncle Zheng contacted them recently. He was not sure that they could come before, so he didn't tell us, so they are all here today."
Lu Yao quickly walked towards everyone and greeted them.
Zheng Weiguo looked at Lu Yao lovingly and proudly introduced to everyone, "This is my daughter, Lu Yao, a college student at Beijing University, who got admitted by herself!"
Lu Yao blushed.
Everyone looked at Lu Yao and couldn't help but praise, "Chief, Yao Yao not only has good academic performance, but she is also pretty."
Lu Yao's face turned redder.
Almost all of these people were Zheng Weiguo's subordinates. They were in their thirties and forties, and all of them were energetic and upright. There were two people who were missing an arm, and three people who had a broken leg and were using crutches.
Lu Yao smiled at them and said, "Thank you all for coming to help."
"You're welcome. We were still at home when the chief contacted us and asked us to come and make money. It was because the chief was thinking of us and came without even thinking. It just so happened that we hadn't seen each other for many years. From now on we will be like this We can meet more comrades more often, so everyone is happy."
Lu Yao said gratefully, "I still want to thank you, you really helped us a lot."
A man who looked to be about thirty years old said, "Okay, sister Yaoyao, let's not thank you again and again, it's too intrusive. Let Xiao Duan take us to the dormitory later, and we'll start tomorrow!"
"Old Song is right."
Lu Yao: "Let's have dinner at home tonight. After dinner, we'll leave. We'll have a day off tomorrow. You're tired of traveling and traveling, so you can't do it without rest."
After saying that, Lu Yao looked at Duan Mingjie and said, "Hurry up and buy groceries."
Duan Mingjie smiled at her, "Mom and Aunt Guan went shopping."
Lu Yao felt relieved and turned to everyone.
"Let's all have dinner at home tonight, and then leave after dinner."
Old Song Song Zhijie said, "You can finish eating, but we will start working tomorrow without rest. We didn't sleep for days and nights in the past. When the enemy came, we still went to the battlefield. This work is not a big deal."
Lu Yao looked at Zheng Weiguo and asked for his opinion.
Zheng Weiguo: "Let's start work tomorrow."
After he said this, Lu Yao said no more.
After eating, Duan Mingjie and Zheng Weiguo sent them back to rest.
Lu Yao happily hummed a ditty.
Gu Fulan looks more and more pleased with Lu Yao now. She is simply the lucky star of their family!
On the way back, Zheng Weiguo and Duan Mingjie mentioned something unusual.
"I have been contacting my former subordinates in the past few days. A group of retired soldiers came to me and told me that there were sixty or seventy of them, but I didn't know them, and my subordinates didn't know them either. They said they would come and follow you. At the construction site, I couldn't figure out their identities, so I didn't agree to their request."
After speaking, he asked Duan Mingjie, "Your father and your eldest brother are both soldiers. Did their comrades know about your situation and came to help you? But if your father or your eldest brother's comrades, why didn't they come to you directly? Come to me?"
It was precisely because of this that Zheng Weiguo did not dare to accept them.
Duan Mingjie stopped and asked, "Can you find out which army they belong to?"
Zheng Weiguo shook his head, "No, they didn't say anything."
Duan Mingjie nodded, "Ignore them for now. The more than a hundred people you found for me are enough. You really did me a big favor. Don't worry, I will definitely let them eat and drink well!"
"There's no need to go out of your way to be nice to them. You won't be the only workers in the future. If others know that you treat them differently, others will not work well."
"They are all heroes, and we should treat them well. I will make it clear to everyone, and I believe everyone will understand."
Zheng Weiguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you. There's one more thing."
Zheng Weiguo talked about the five disabled people, "Their arms and legs were either blown off by cannons, or the bullets were not removed in time. In the end, they had to be amputated, which led to the current situation. They live a very miserable life in their hometown." , the family is not very kind to them, this time I took the opportunity to call them over, I hope you can give them a chance to prove themselves. "
Duan Mingjie said quickly, "It's okay. Although they have lost their arms and legs, I see that they can move quite freely. The three who are on crutches will be allowed to cook for the big guys from now on. Those who are missing one arm can do it." If you can do a small job, and you can do a big job, I agree. When the time comes, it will be calculated as 40 cents a day for big workers and 20 cents for small workers. If their wages can be increased in the future, I will definitely give them priority."
Seeing that he had already made a plan, Zheng Weiguo felt relieved, "Okay, don't worry about these people. Qi Congwei will definitely not be able to take them away, so don't worry about using them."
Duan Mingjie bowed gratefully to him, "Uncle Zheng, thank you."
"You're welcome, just do your best and let my daughter live a good life."
Duan Mingjie patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely let Yaoyao live a good life!"
