Chapter 274: Unexpected benefits, life is more hopeful.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"That means we'll be digging the foundation these few days, and then we'll start building the structure a few days later. We'll just find a reason to give him a way out."

"Chen Xiangdong will surely take advantage of the situation."

Chen Hui explained with a smile, and he and An Wenjing watched the workers work.

Give a hand here, help pass something there or something like that.

"Wen Jing, Wen Jing!"

"Let's go back and prepare lunch!"

A little after ten o'clock, Chen Huihong brought another bucket of brewed tea from Wang Hongmei's house.

He waved and shouted to An Wenjing.

"Aunt, my mother-in-law can cook. We can go back and eat later." Chen Hui said.

"How can your mother-in-law cook for so many people alone? She must go back to join them," said Chen Huihong.

"Ah?! So many people?"

Chen Hui was puzzled for a moment.

I remember that when I was building a house for others at that time, the employer really had to provide lunch.

The downside is the expense of an extra meal.

However, there is no strict requirement on what to eat, it all depends on how the host arranges it.

The advantage is that the lunch break is shorter.

Usually after dinner, I drink a cup of tea, rest for half an hour and then start working.

"Aunt, make two more delicious dishes and invite Wang Kunhua to come home to eat later." Chen Hui instructed.

"Got it! That's what I was thinking."

"He's a rich man from the county, how can he eat here on a construction site where everything is dirt?"

After Chen Huihong finished speaking, she took An Wenjing away.

Chen Hui thought that Lin Jiao's home was quite far away.

I discussed with Wu Jinhua in the evening and decided to cook lunch and snacks at her home from now on, and I would also be responsible for her meals.

At half past eleven.

Chen Huihong brought two large buckets of rice.

An Wenjing was carrying a bucket in one hand, filled with different vegetables.

Then he ran to Wu Jinhua's house, took all the bowls and dishes from his home, and called out loudly, "Masters, it's time for lunch!"

The villagers who came to help went back to their own homes to eat.

Liu Fugui and several people from the second team came to return their work, not to earn wages.

Naturally, they felt embarrassed to stay for dinner, so they exchanged polite words with Chen Hui and went back to their own homes to eat.

When Liu Fugui left, he was considerate enough to call Chen Xiangdong and Jin Feng away as well.

Workers from the construction team gathered around.

When he saw the food that Lin Jiao and An Wenjing brought, he couldn't stop smiling.

With loud and heroic voices, we said one sentence at a time:

"Boss, the food in your house is really good!"

"Why did you cook so many cucumbers? How can we finish this big bucket?"

"This bucket is full of fish! My dear wife, you are too honest. Just give each of you one piece of fish!"

"This is white rice. There's not a single sweet potato grain in it, it's all rice!"

The people from Team 2 had not walked far yet, and when they heard what the construction workers said, they felt an uneasy feeling in their hearts.

"Why don't we go back and eat? Didn't Chen Huihong just say she cooked for us?"

"I don't think Chen Hui is a stingy person. He doesn't mind our help, right?"

Chen Youqing couldn't help but say.

Among the people who came to work at Chen Hui's house, his family was the poorest.

There are only a few times in a year when we eat rice without sweet potato rice.

"You go if you want to go. I'm embarrassed to go."

"Those of them who went to help with the work didn't stay for dinner, let alone us who were going to atone our sins." Liu Fugui shook his head.

"I just suddenly remembered something!"

"If I can join the construction team, in addition to the salary of more than 800 yuan, I can also have lunch and a snack every day, and a pack of cigarettes." "This is not a small amount of money, right?" Chen Mingde suddenly thought of this.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of this!" Liu Fugui said in surprise.

"Does that mean we have white rice every day?"

This was an unexpected benefit, and Chen Youqing felt that his life suddenly had hope.

Several people from Team 2 also became excited.

Chen Mingde secretly regretted in his heart that he should not have said it out earlier. Now there is even more to argue about.

"What's going on? Are you talking about the construction team?"

"What costs more than 800 yuan? Where can I get more than 800 yuan?" Chen Xiangdong asked curiously.

The people in Team Two either remained silent or talked about other things.

No one was willing to talk about this with Chen Xiangdong.

Jinfeng was angry all the way and when she got home, she locked the door and started cursing.

"Stop scolding. What's the use? I'll go ask Chen Hui this afternoon." Chen Xiangdong was annoyed and interrupted her.

"If you ask Chen Hui, will he tell us?" Jin Feng was a little skeptical.

"Of course he will! I'm his uncle, how can he not give me this face?"

"Go cook. I'm starving." Chen Xiangdong said confidently and lit a cigarette.

Chen Hui called Wang Kunhua to go back and have dinner together.

Several people were counting the materials needed at the door of Lin Jiao's house.

Wang Kunhua wrote down the list of materials, addresses and contacts, and handed it to Chen Hui:

"Take this list this afternoon and go to the county town to find this person. Ask him to deliver the goods to you according to the list!"

Chen Hui took it and glanced at it. "Will they give me such a small thing?"

"Of course you won't go there. If you say it's what I want, they'll give it to you."

Wang Kunhua smiled confidently and continued:

"Tell him to deliver it to you right away. Once it arrives, I'll arrange for two people to come over and finish the floor for you in one afternoon. I won't charge you extra for this small job."

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

"With you here, I don't know how much worry I have saved."

Chen Hui spoke politely.

I felt my nose tingling and sore, and I buried my head in my arms and sneezed twice in succession.

A sneeze!

A sneeze!

"Brother Chen Hui, what's wrong with you? Are you catching a cold?" An Wenjing asked with concern.

"If I sneeze once, I'll be praised. If I sneeze twice, I'll be scolded. It must be Chen Xiangdong who is scolding me." Chen Hui said, rubbing his nose.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Huihong patted Chen Hui, indicating that there were outsiders present.

"Aunt, don't treat my brother-in-law as a fool."

"Didn't you see that he didn't ask my good uncle to do anything all morning?" Chen Hui said with a smile.

Chen Huihong thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"Captain Wang, how did you know that? They performed very well this morning." Wu Shuisheng asked with a smile.

Chen Hui called Wang Kunhua brother-in-law out of politeness, and Wu Shuisheng and Chen Huihong didn't feel comfortable calling him nephew.

Everyone calls him Captain Wang.

“It’s just such a great performance!”

"I have seven or eight brothers in my family, and we know how to get along with each other."

"We are all brothers. If we have a really good relationship, there is no need to act." Wang Kunhua smiled.

"The food is ready, come and eat!" Lin Jiao shouted loudly in the house.

"Brother-in-law, please!" Chen Hui extended his hand politely.

"Please, please, everyone, please go in together."

Several people entered the house together after being polite to each other.

After lunch, Wang Kunhua went to the construction site. Chen Hui did not delay and went to the county town with the list.
