Chapter 137: Going up the mountain for the New Year

"It's the life in the stone yard that is too good, you have been raised to a fat waist and a thick neck in the past few months, and of course it's hard to climb the mountain!" Lu Yao said with a smile.

"Life is good, and consumption is not small. Do you think it's effortless to shoot the blast hole every day? That's all manual work! If you were asked to do it, I guess you would be able to lift the drill rig enough to lift the blast hole. The main thing is that there are too many things to mention, and I said that I don't need to buy things up, there is everything in this shack. Wu Jingsheng just disagreed, he had to buy fruit, he said that the proprietress and the children liked to eat fruit. It's a good thing, we took a lot of effort to bring it up, the proprietress and the children are all gone, and we are the only ones who eat by ourselves. Ning Hao complained and staggered into the front yard.

"Don't buy so much fruit when you buy it!, I thought you were moving again!" Lu Yao took the heavy two bags of things from Wu Jingsheng's hand and said with a smile.

"This time we came up to stay for a while, and we always ate and drank the hostess, how embarrassed are we? We bought some fruits and dry food, as well as bacon and sausages. Wu Jingsheng said.

"You're welcome, the eldest sister doesn't care about that. Sit down, I'm making herbal tea, and I'll be fine in no time. Lu Yao said. He put his things on the table and walked straight into the kitchen.

"Hey, Lu Yao, how many year-end bonuses did the boss lady give you? You work so hard, do all the work, one person tops three, the bonus will definitely not be less, is there a four-digit number?" Ning Hao walked to the kitchen door and asked with a smile.

"What about you? You've become a blaster, and your salary has risen to seven hundred, how many year-end bonuses did the boss give you?" Lu Yao asked with a smile.

"Damn, our fat winter melon boss is very generous in eating and drinking, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat enough, but you are so stingy with bonuses, you don't pull out a dime. Wu Jingsheng and I have only been working in the stone yard for more than three months, how can there be a year-end bonus, so we each gave 500 red envelopes. Ning Hao said.

"That's not bad! I've heard that the red envelopes on other construction sites are only 100 yuan, and you can get 500 yuan, which is quite good!" Lu Yao said.

"It's really good, it's more than what I was paid for three months on an airport construction site. Hey, you haven't answered me yet, how many red envelopes have you taken, and how much is the bonus?" Ning Hao asked impatiently.

"Didn't you guess just now?" Lu Yaole said.

"Ah, the boss lady really sent you a thousand red envelopes? Dude, you are really a cow! The bonus you got alone is two of the top for me and Wu Jingsheng. It seems that in the past twenty days, we will all have to eat and drink you!No opinion, right?" Ning Hao asked.

"There must be an opinion? The bonus is also earned by hard work, why do you have to eat and drink him? The living expenses during this period of time, the three of us will share it equally! You take a hundred yuan first and pay the living expenses!" Wu Jingsheng said and stretched out his right hand to Ning Hao.

"What? You want me to pay 100 yuan for living expenses half a month? You all eat and drink me? Didn't you say that it would be shared equally?" Ning Hao asked with a glare.

"What kind of days is this period of time? What about the Chinese New Year? Life must not be better? Every day you don't eat meat or drink alcohol? 100 yuan may not be enough! After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the general account will be settled, and the excess will be refunded and the deficiency will be compensated. Wu Jingsheng said.

"It's pretty much the same if you say that, okay, I'll pay a hundred. Wait a minute, my money is in the bag, I'll take it. After Ning Hao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the room.

"Don't go and get it! The eldest sister knows that you are going up the mountain for the New Year, so she has already given me the living expenses, and the meat and vegetables have been bought in advance. Lu Yao shouted with a kettle.

"Haha! The beautiful and kind lady was generous and kind to us, and made me feel at home in a foreign land. Ning Hao turned around sharply, staggered back, and said happily.

"Since the proprietress is so good to us and treats us like family, we must know how to be grateful, and we can't eat and drink her for nothing, right?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

"What's the matter? You're not going to let us pay her back, are you? Besides, a boss like her won't take our money. Ning Hao said with a pulled face.

"The proprietress will definitely not accept our money, but we have to do what we can for the proprietress to deduct our living expenses. Wu Jingsheng said.

"You're not going to let me go to the orchard to hoe and fertilize, are you?"

"It's the annual vacation, what about the end of the New Year? The stone yard won't start until the sixteenth day of the first month, we can't play until the start of work, right? We won't do anything during this time, right? If we really play at that time, the parts on our bodies are rusty, how can we go up the mountain to shoot the cannon hole?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

"My habit in my hometown is not to work in the field before the tenth day of the first month, and after the tenth day of the first month, you can let me do anything!" Ning Hao said.

"Okay, then you can play until the tenth day of the first month! But I have to say the ugly things to the front, those who work have meat to eat, and those who don't work have no meat to eat, you can do it yourself!" Wu Jingsheng said.

"Why? Aren't you engaging in forced labor?"

"Well, during the Chinese New Year, rest is the main thing, and no one forces you to work. May I ask you two, do you want to eat something light at noon, or stir-fry?" Lu Yao asked as he poured tea.

"I ate too much fish and meat last night, so let's eat light at noon. Wu Jingsheng responded.

"I don't have a problem with eating light, you have to give me a bottle of wine, that's no problem, right?" Ning Hao asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Don't you still want to eat meat? How can anyone drink wine and not eat meat?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

"Less pork head meat, or beef, just mean it. Ning Hao said with a big grin.

"It seems that if you don't live without wine and meat, you won't be able to live!" Wu Jingsheng said with a shake of his head.

"I can't say that, before we came out to work, we couldn't even eat enough in our hometown, how could there be wine and meat? Didn't I also live a decade or two? Hey, buddy, do you know what day after tomorrow will be?" Ning Hao held the teacup in both hands, turned it slowly, and asked mysteriously.

"What day is it? The Chinese New Year's Eve! Everyone in the world knows. Lu Yao said lightly.

"No, when Ning Hao asked like this, I suddenly remembered. Ning Hao was born in the first month of the year, Lu Yao was born in the month of the year, and the day after tomorrow is Lu Yao's birthday! The birthdays of the two of you are next to each other, just one day apart. Wu Jingsheng said.

"It's still the eldest cousin who is smart, I guessed it at once, praise!" Ning Hao said with a smile.

"Guess what, when my aunt gave birth to Lu Yao, it was my mother who took care of the confinement child. When I went to his house on the second day of the first lunar month, it was still the rice wine jar I chose, so I remember it very clearly. However, if you didn't mention this matter just now, I really forgot Lu Yao's birthday. Wu Jingsheng said.
