"It is said that northerners bring their own five points of alcohol, and I saw it tonight. Let's go, let's eat first, and then we'll drink later!" Chen Gong said, striding towards the dining table.

Because Chen Gong is not good at drinking, Lu Yao is not greedy for cups, and everyone did not drink anymore after eating. After Lu Yao's helper cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone sat down at the dinner table to drink tea and talk about things.

"Lu Yao, in the past month, we have seen your performance. To be honest, when you came to the project department, I saw you for the first time, and I thought you were very young and sincere, and you were the person I was looking for. Unexpectedly, after you came to the orchard, what you did greatly exceeded my expectations for you, and you are really a trustworthy and good brother! In the past month or so, counting tonight, I have only been home twice. It was only tonight that we sat down at a table to eat. Because the last time I came back at noon, you had already gone to the orchard to hoe the weeds. At that time, I was going to Nanguang Airport to take a flight, so I didn't go to the orchard to see you.

During this time, every time A-Ying and I talked on the phone, we had to talk about your situation. A-Ying means that she wants to accept you as her godbrother, and my opinion is to accept you as her own brother. A-Ying is the youngest in the family, and I am the eldest in the family, and there are two younger sisters below me, and there is no younger brother. You are qualified to be our brother in all aspects. How about it? Are you willing to be my brother and A-Ying?" asked Chen Gong solemnly.

"I am willing! However, my family conditions are not good, and my education is not high, so I am not worthy of you. Lu Yao lowered his head and said.

"Lu Yao, you should be very confident. In fact, in your somewhat thin body, there has always been a proud bone supporting you. You are not inferior in your heart, and even a little arrogant. Because you are so strong, you want to be motivated, and you have the momentum to not admit defeat. Ah Ying and I are all looking at this. Ah Ying and I have already discussed, as long as you are willing to be our younger brother, I will call Ah Hua and your cousin to their house for a meal another day, and officially announce it to them. As for the rest of the vulgar rites, we are exempt from them, because we are not laity. Do you think it's okay?" asked Chen Gong.

"As long as you don't dislike it, I'm 100% willing. I'm afraid of losing your face, ······"

"Don't say anything else, I'll arrange the rest of the work." Ah Ying, is there anything else you would like to add?" asked Chen Gong.

"Lu Yao, Ah Xin and I really want to recognize you as a younger brother. What we value is not how capable you are and how hard you can endure hardships, but what we value is your character. We hope that you will not have any mental burden, whether you want to be our brother or not, you will work and live happily. A-Ying said.

"Thank you! In fact, in my heart, I have long regarded you as my brother and sister. Lu Yao said excitedly.

"With your words, it's all right, and this matter is settled! Let's talk about the next thing. A-Ying, let's talk about it first. Chen Gong said.

"You're a family member, you just say it. A-Ying said with a smile.

"Your words made my heart ripple a little. Who is in charge of our family, I believe Lu Yao has already seen it. Since the master has commanded it, I will take the command. Hahaha! Lu Yao, this matter is also about you. This month, the amount of work you did in the orchard is equivalent to the work of three people, which is amazing! So, A-Ying and I decided to pay you triple your salary this month. Before you go to work, we will agree on the salary. Your first month's salary is one hundred and eighteen, multiplied by three is five hundred and four, plus the full attendance bonus of twenty, a total of five hundred and six, how about it? Will it be less?" asked Chen Gong with a smile.

"I can't take that much, I ······."

"Lu Yao, a piece of hard work, this is the reward you should get for your hard work for a month. Don't think we're buying you off, or sympathizing with you. Even though we are now a family, if you don't do your best in your work in the future, or if you mess up your work, we will punish you mercilessly. Come, here is this month's salary, take it, count it in person, and see if there is anything wrong. This is the pay stub and you sign your name on it. The brothers settle the accounts, and the family must follow the rules. A-Ying said with a smile.

She first handed Lu Yao a brown paper envelope containing her salary, and then pushed the pay slip and a carbon pen onto the table in front of Lu Yao.

With a look of surprise and a bewildered face, Lu looked at Chen Gong from afar, and then looked at A-Ying. Seeing that they were all with sincere smiles on their faces, he slowly picked up the pen.

After Lu Yao finished signing, Chen Gong said again: "Lu Yao, I heard A-Ying say that you are very efficient, very careful, and have strong calculation skills. The weather forecast says that from tomorrow, it will be the rainy season. During this period, nothing else can be done in the orchard except fertilization. In order not to let you be idle, I will arrange a job for you, which is to help me do statistics. I've got the data and statistics book in your room, and I'll start working when you're free. You don't think I'm exploiting you, do you? But don't worry, I'll pay you as long as you make no mistakes. As for how much you are paid, it depends on the work you complete, and it will definitely not be less than the salary that A-Ying gives you. Hahaha! How's that? Would you like to work for me?"

"Yes! It's just that I've never made a statistic, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well. Lu Yao said.

"It's not difficult at all, as long as you know how to calculate, you can read the statistical table, you can do the statistics. If you don't understand something, you can call me or ask A-Ying, who studied statistics at university. When Chen Gong said this, the sky suddenly lit up with a few bolts of lightning, followed by thunder.

"I really wanted to talk to you more, but God doesn't allow it! I have to hurry back to the airport project department, it will rain later, and my motorcycle will not be able to ride. What's the matter, you call my office phone, or call my pager. ”

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he immediately stood up, ran back to the room quickly, took his briefcase and a raincoat, and hurriedly ran to the motorcycle parked behind the shack. Lu Yao hurriedly followed.

Chen Gong ran out of the yard and when he came to the motorcycle, he had already carried his briefcase and put on a raincoat. He stepped onto the Suzuki motorcycle and didn't light it right away. He said to Lu Yao, who was following him, "Brother, I have to hurry down the mountain." Looking at the weather, it was about to rain and I had to get to the bottom of the mountain before it rained. Go back, thank you!"
