While everyone was eating, Duan Mingjie saw a tall and strong man running towards Zheng Hongye and whispered something in his ear. Zheng Hongye couldn't help but frown.
He wiped his mouth and stood up, looking for Duan Mingjie.
The two looked at each other, and Duan Mingjie walked towards him, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"I have something to deal with here, so I might not come back."
Duan Mingjie: "Brother, go and do your work. There are many helpers at home, so you can handle it."
Zheng Hongye said something to Zheng Weiguo and left.
Duan Mingjie continued to entertain guests.
When the banquet was coming to an end, Duan Mingjie took his second brother and Duan Chengcai to toast.
Zheng Weiguo's relatives were okay and did not dare to force Duan Mingjie to drink, and his comrades were not allowed to drink. In the end, Duan Mingjie offered tea instead of wine to thank them for coming to his son's wedding banquet.
But the villagers were not so easy to talk to, and the village head Chen Dazhuang took the lead in making noise.
"Xiao Duan, this is the first happy event you hold in our village, you must drink one!"
Duan Mingjie held a wine bottle in one hand and a cup in the other. He first poured a cup for Chen Dazhuang, and then poured half a cup for himself.
Duan Mingjie personally handed the wine glass to Chen Dazhuang, "Uncle Chen, you have helped us a lot since our couple came here. It is our blessing to come to our village. I would like to toast you!"
Chen Dazhuang took it and raised the cup towards Duan Mingjie, "You are so awesome. I hope you will make our whole village rich!"
Duan Mingjie raised the quilt, deliberately placed the rim of the cup in the middle of Chen Dazhuang's cup, and solemnly promised, "Uncle Chen, as long as the villagers need Duan Mingjie's place, I will do my best. If anything good happens in the future, I will also give priority to the villagers in our village." them."
The position of Duan Mingjie's cup surprised the villagers. According to Duan Mingjie's current status, there was no need to condescend to Chen Dazhuang, but he showed his respect for Chen Dazhuang in front of so many people.
Chen Dazhuang smiled at Duan Mingjie. He had long known that Duan Mingjie was a grateful person, and he was indeed right.
"Then I can point you to lead everyone."
The people in the village are making money and living a better life, and the government holds a commendation meeting and his face is bright.
"good!"
After paying tribute to Chen Dazhuang, Duan Mingjie also paid tribute to some elders in the village. Everyone saw that Duan Mingjie was not arrogant, and their favorable impression of him increased a lot.
"Boss Duan, your whole family will be members of our village from now on. If you have any questions, just ask."
Duan Mingjie raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, "Thanks."
After the round of tribute, Duan Mingjie felt steam rising from his nose and mouth.
Duan Chengcai: "Third brother, can it still work?"
Duan Mingjie calmed down and blinked hard, as if to be more awake, "It's okay."
Duan Chengcai: "Shall I take you to rest for a while in the morning?"
Duan Mingjie shook his head, "No, rest after the guests leave."
"Then let me help you wash your face and wake up."
Duan Chengcai helped Duan Mingjie go to the toilet, washed his face, and came out sober again.
After the banquet, Duan Mingjie sent the guests off, and people from Zheng Weiguo's side also left one after another.
Lu Jianguo came to Duan Mingjie and asked, "How are you doing? Is something okay?"
Duan Mingjie shook his head, "It's okay."
Duan Mingming brought out a bowl of honey water from the kitchen, "Third brother, drink some. My sister-in-law said you will feel better after drinking it."
Duan Mingjie took a few sips and said to Duan Mingming, "Pour a bowl for everyone else."
Zheng Weiguo and Dong Defang were both drinking.
Duan Mingming counted a few people, then turned around and went to the kitchen to bring honey water.
Duan Mingming brought a bowl to everyone who was drinking, and when he handed it to Tang Long, Duan Mingming didn't raise his eyes to look at him, staring at his military boots, and his magnetic voice came from above his head.
"Thanks."
Duan Mingming stepped aside and stood, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Tang Long glanced at Duan Mingming, looked away and took a sip of honey water.
Duan Mingjie and Duan Minghua glanced at their sister, but neither of them said anything.
Zheng Weiguo, Dong Defang and the others talked for a while and left after knowing that they wanted to talk to Lu Yao alone.
Duan Mingjie took Dong Defang and the others upstairs.
Lu Yao had just woken up and was about to sit up when she saw them coming up. Chen Yuncai stopped her and said, "Lie down."
Lu Yao: "I've been lying down for a few days, and my whole body feels uncomfortable. If I don't sit up, I will become disabled."
Duan Mingjie went over to help her up, quickly folded a quilt and placed it behind Lu Yao's waist.
Lu Yao leaned comfortably on the quilt, "Dad, uncle, have you eaten well?"
"It's ready." Dong Fangfang said as he held the little junior high school student in his arms and lowered his head to play with him.
In the first year of junior high school, he squinted his eyes half-open, as if he was looking at Dong Defei, or as if he was sleeping with his eyes squinted, but Dong Defei was very surprised.
It's a pity that he is leaving tomorrow.
"Yao Yao, Su Su and your brother are starting school on the ninth day of the lunar month. We will buy bus tickets later and go back tomorrow."
Dong Fufa looked at Lu Yao and the children. He came happily every time, but was extremely reluctant to leave when he returned.
But he was also relieved to see Yaoyao living well.
Lu Yao bit her lip, "Okay, if you don't have an internship during the summer vacation, I will take the first grade students back to see you."
Duan Mingjie asked them to stay with Lu Yao at home while he and his eldest brother drove to the train station to buy tickets.
Although he was reassured, Dong Defang still said, "Call me and tell me if you need anything in the future. Tell me if you have any grievances. I will come and see you when I have time."
Seeing her uncle's sad and reluctant expression, Lu Yao decided not to go to the internship this summer. "Uncle, I will go back to live during the summer vacation."
She will have more time to work in the future, and she cannot ignore her family.
Dong Defang: "No, you follow the school's arrangements. We can come over during the summer vacation."
Duan Mingjie bought a ticket for nine o'clock tomorrow morning. He would be able to get home the day after tomorrow and would not delay Susu and the others' schooling.
Chen Yuncai and Lu Susu talked with Lu Yao until after nine o'clock before going back to the house to sleep.
Duan Mingjie went to bed and hugged Lu Yao, "Daughter-in-law, I will go back to live with you during the summer vacation, and it will be the same when I do my internship next year. There will be many job opportunities in the future."
"Um."
Dong Defang and the others got up at around six o'clock in the morning. Gu Fulan had prepared a meal early and asked them to finish eating before getting in the car.
After dinner, Dong Fufa came over to say goodbye to Lu Yao. Lu Yao was about to get out of bed and walk them to the door, but was held down by Chen Yuncai.
"Confinement period is a little more particular. Even if you take us to the train station, we still have to be separated."
Lu Yao pursed her lips and smiled reluctantly at Chen Yuncai, "Okay, then I won't go down."
Dong Defang: "Okay, let's go, we won't be able to catch the train if it's too late."
Lu Susu grabbed Lu Yao's hand and said, "Sister, we are all leaving. You have to take good care of yourself."
Lu Yao nodded, "Go back and study hard."
Lu Susu nodded heavily, "I will, I will also be admitted to Beijing University, and I will come with you with my father!"
Lu Yao: "Okay!"
