Chapter 192: Upholding Traditional Virtues

Lu Dongye had already told them early in the morning.

When you come, you just need to look, you don't need to do it.

But once it's close to 7:30 and you can't reach your goal, let them go up and help.

An hour passed quickly.

Eight old men, the fruits picked are already 230 catties in total!

And in full accordance with Lu Dongye's instructions, the picks are all big and full, which completely echoes Mu Yeyuan's requirements for fruits.

They are equivalent to, on average, picking 28.75 catties per person per hour.

This number is not excellent.

But looking at the time, there are still 120 catties left, and an hour is definitely enough.

So, Lu Dongye dismissed the children.

The eight old men, after taking a breath, began to work again.

It's just that the high-intensity hour-long labor did make them a little tired.

Next, Lu Dongye could clearly see that their efficiency was declining.

However, the task was finally completed perfectly before the time was up.

Lu Dongye calculated, and the time he spent free was enough for them to eat.

In other words, if you sign a contract in the future, you can go to school and eat first, and then come to work on the hillside.

On the way to deliver wild fruits to Du Liyuan, the eight old men all sat on the carriage and relaxed.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was still plenty of time to spare.

However, Lu Dongye was a little nervous in his heart.

Because, the next thing is to carry the weight over the mountain...... Calculated, the average person has to carry 43.75 catties of wild fruits.

I don't know, can these old men hold on?

This is the first time, Lu Dongye did not carry wild fruits over the mountain.

He observed the old men along the way, and although they had climbed a third of the mountain road, everyone began to rest for the first time.

But no matter what, these old men are still beyond Lu Dongye's expectations.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, the old men were tired enough.

Thankfully, the descent was a bit easier for those of them who were more experienced.

When they loaded all the wild fruits into Mu Yeyuan's car, one by one, they couldn't help but gasp for breath with tiredness.

When the eight old men began to load the car, Du Liyuan pulled Lu Dongye aside.

He asked in a low voice, "Principal Lu, are these the people you are looking for?"

Lu Dongye couldn't help but smile a little bitterly: "Yes, today is their first day here, and I think the work is not bad." ”

Du Liyuan's face was filled with worry: "They are all very old, right?"

"Yes!"

Lu Dongye did not deny it: "I have looked at the ID card one by one, and the average age is 61." ”

Hou Jianjun is 59 years old, which can only be regarded as average among the eight people.

One of them is 65 years old.

The worry on Du Liyuan's face couldn't help but become even stronger: "Principal Lu, why don't you ...... You hire some younger ones, right? At such an old age, and it's manual work, if one of them is not good, and something goes wrong with you, you will lose all your money!"

How could Lu Dongye not know this truth?

It's just that he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Boss Du, don't hide it from you, there is really too much shortage of labor in our town, just the eight old men, I hired them at a high price, and no matter how low it is, no one will contact me at all." ”

Du Liyuan suddenly wondered: "How much?"

"It's 6 yuan per catty. ”

Lu Dongye did not hide it at all: "Today, I have to give them 2,100 yuan." ”

Du Liyuan was taken aback: "...... Isn't that the school and the village not much income?"

Lu Dongye nodded, he was also helpless!

"That's it, Principal Lu......"

Du Liyuan suddenly said with a resolute face: "From tomorrow, I will add 2 yuan per catty to you, so that you can take a breather." ”

Lu Dongye was suddenly taken aback: "Boss Du, don't be, the damage rate is originally your burden, if you add money to me, you ......"

"It's fine. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Du Liyuan interrupted: "Now, Mu Yeyuan's orders are full, I should be able to find a second store in the near future, and I will need more wild fruits and earn more by then." ”

Lu Dongye wanted to refuse, but it was really difficult on his side.

simply stopped refusing: "Then I will thank Boss Du, I owe you a favor again!"

Du Liyuan smiled: "It's always been a favor I owe to Principal Lu." ”

After the eight old men loaded the car, Lu Dongye was separated from Du Liyuan.

He deliberately stood on the mountain and observed for a while, and found that these eight old men had been sitting in place and resting for a long time.

It took about half an hour before I got up one by one and got on my motorcycle.

Seeing this, Lu Dongye's heart was slightly heavy.

These old people, don't do anything to yourself!

Next.

It was still the old time, and Lu Dongye went to pick up the eight of them.

The eight old men were still working hard, and they had completed their tasks ahead of schedule, just like yesterday.

It's just that Lu Dongye also noticed that this time, after they finished loading the goods, they rested longer.

That night, Lu Dongye just wanted to sleep.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

When you touch it, it looks like Hou Jianjun is calling.

"Principal Lu, we'll work for you for another day tomorrow, and ...... in the future I think you'd better find someone else. ”

Hou Jianjun's first sentence made Lu Dongye's heart beat suddenly.

He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Is there something wrong with someone's body?"

After all, a 60-year-old man with such a high intensity of force will inevitably have some problems.

The cost of money is still different.

The point is that because of this, an old man fell ill, and Lu Dongye felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Hou Jianjun's words made Lu Dongye breathe a sigh of relief.

He said, "It's okay, it's okay, we're all right...... It's just that I'm old, and after working at such a high intensity, my body is really a little unbearable. ”

Lu Dongye couldn't help but be silent.

It's good that nothing happened, but it also means that he has to find someone again.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Dongye left a message to the talent market, asking them to hang up the recruitment notice tomorrow.

The next day, when Lu Dongye took Hou Jianjun and eight people over again.

It is obvious that the efficiency of the eight of them has slowed down a lot.

When the deadline came, the task was finally completed.

When climbing a mountain with weights.

Hou Jianjun was a little embarrassed: "Principal Lu, we are indeed old, and our recovery ability is much worse than that of young people, and we can't rest when we go back to rest in the past two days, so we all discussed it and didn't hold on, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Lu Dongye understood very well, and immediately said: "It's okay, the body is the most important thing at this age, you must not exhaust your body anymore, you can still come today, I am already very grateful to you." ”

After all, there is no contract signed, and there is really no need for them to abide by anything.

You can say hello without saying hello, and no one will use it today.

However, last night, Hou Jianjun not only called, but today they came for another day.

Isn't it just to give Lu Dongye as much time as possible to recruit people?

This kind of verbal spirit of contract has already made Lu Dongye very grateful.

On the last day, Lu Dongye settled an extra 500 yuan for them.

It's not that he is wronged, he just simply hopes that this kind of dedication can be passed on.

This is the traditional virtue of simplicity and hard work that belongs to the entire Chinese nation!

It's like what Lao Li once said before.

Although he Lu Dongye has little ability and does not have much money, he is still willing to pay some beautiful things.

I just hope that this world can be a better place.

The other party is simple, realistic, and thinks about himself.

Then, he Lu Dongye will inevitably be kind.
