Chapter 276 - Guarantee (1)
Qi Lei bought a bunch of gifts from Nanjing, and when he returned home, the first thing he did was to take Zhenhua to see Pujia.
Pu Jia is six years old, and she is dressed like a little princess by her aunt Ji Huamei, combing her hair full of pigtails, lively and cute.
"Uncle. Pu Jia saw Zhenhua and greeted with big eyes.
"Well, your second uncle is back. Zhenhua touched Pu Jia's little head and pointed at Qi Lei and said.
"Second uncle. Pu Jia was not very familiar with Qi Lei, and screamed timidly.
"Pu Jia is so good. Qi Lei smiled, took out a bunch of colorful toys from the trunk of the car, and gave Pu Jia another 500 yuan of New Year's money.
Lu Qiangwen and his wife both thanked each other and poured tea with cigarettes.
Ji Huamei and sister-in-law Xiumei cooked vegetables, and stayed Zhenhua and Qi Lei for dinner here.
Xiumei was busy on the stove with an apron, looking at the back, and Xiulian was close to the year.
Qi Lei suddenly asked: "Xiumei is not young this year, is she?
"No, I'm just twenty-one this year, and I haven't planned to find my in-laws yet. Xiumei looked back and smiled.
"Twenty-one is not small, hurry up and find one, beware of the good ones being picked up first. Zhenhua said with a smile.
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm reluctant to take it with me, and I want to bring it for a few more years. Xiumei smiled.
"You have a merit in bringing Pujia, and when you get married, I will accompany you to make a color TV as a dowry!" Qi Lei said with a laugh.
Zhenhua was startled, and sent a color TV as a dowry, Qi Lei was really arrogant! If his sister Chunlan heard this, I am afraid that she would be so envious that she would lose sleep for a month.
When drinking, Xiumei was also present, took the initiative to toast Zhenhua and Zhenhua, and inquired about Qi Lei's project.
Qi Lei waved his thin arms like hemp straw, his eyebrows fluttered, and he introduced his project and the outside world to everyone.
Xiumei has only read books for three years, and she has never gone out, she is very envious of everything Qi Lei said, and she listens in a daze.
Zhenhua looked at it coldly, but he was a little worried.
After the meal, Zhenhua dragged Qi Lei for a walk, walked and walked, and naturally came to Xiulian's grave.
The gardenia tree in front of Xiulian's grave was added a few more last year, and now it is verdant.
Zhenhua lit a cigarette and said, "Qi Lei, you bought too many toys for Pu Jia, beware of spoiling the child." In fact, it's not good to have too many toys, and the playthings are demoralized. When you come back later, just bring a toy or two, and if you come across the right children's literacy books, you can buy some back. ”
Qi Lei nodded: "Makes sense." ”
Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "Also, if you don't go home to see your mom and Qi Shuai, Fluttershy must be angry." Listen to me and go back. ”
Qi Lei shook his head: "I bought so many toys for Pu Jia, just to make Zhuang Xiaodie angry! Doesn't she like to be angry? Go on! Doesn't she like to care about me, go on! It's been three years, it's been three years." By the end of this summer, Zhuang Xiaodie and I hadn't been together for three years, and our marriage was automatically invalidated, right?"
Zhenhua glared at Qi Lei, "What about thirty years? Fluttershy is your wife, and she won't leave." Don't be cranky and live your life with Fluttershy. ”
Qi Lei sneered: "It's her business whether to leave or not, as soon as the three years are up, I will find another wife!"
Zhenhua was silent for a long time and asked, "Are you outside...... Got a woman?"
Qi Lei shook his head: "No." I said give Zhuang Xiaodie three years, and if it doesn't take three years, of course I won't look for a woman. ”
Zhenhua walked around Xiulian's grave, stretched out his hand and pressed on Xiulian's tombstone, and sighed: "Qi Lei, I give you a word of advice, keep your distance from Xiumei." Otherwise, the three knots between us and Xiulian will change the taste. ”
Qi Lei was stunned for a moment, and asked in amazement, "Zhenhua, what do you mean by this?"
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, I feel that Xiumei likes to talk to you, and you also like to talk to Xiumei......"
"Impossible, I take Xiumei as my own sister, how can I do such a thing that is inferior to a beast!" Qi Lei glared.
"That's good. Zhenhua nodded and said, "Everyone now knows that you have made a fortune, if you get too close to Xiumei, there will be all kinds of unpleasant words, which are not good for you, not good for Xiumei, and not good for Xiulian." ”
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll pay attention later. Qi Lei nodded and said.
The two brothers talked for a long time before they broke up.
Zhenhua went home to rest, and Qi Lei still went to Lao Mazi's house to spend the night.
In the following days, Qi Lei was busy, contacting workers everywhere, going door-to-door to greet the New Year, and entertaining guests in restaurants in the town, playing emotional cards, and winning people's hearts.
In the space of a week, Qi Lei recruited more than 40 master bricklayers and more than 20 small workers.
Like last year, there are always some workers who are not very reassured about Qi Lei and ask Qi Lei to find someone to vouch for.
Qi Lei came to ask Zhenhua again to be his guarantor.
Zhenhua naturally couldn't shirk and guaranteed the wages of more than a dozen workers.
This matter was finally known by Zhao Chenghai.
Zhao Chenghai talked to his son and sighed: "How much money did you guarantee Qi Lei?"
Zhenhua comforted his father: "I guarantee half of the salary of a total of thirteen bricklayer masters." But it's okay, Qi Lei is very steady, and he doesn't owe workers wages, so he asked me to vouch for it, which is just a formality. ”
"Steady, I think Qi Lei is the most unstable!" Zhao Chenghai glared at his son, counted with his fingers, and said: "Now the wages of workers are very high, thirteen workers, and the annual salary is tens of thousands." If Reviel's project loses, all the money is on you, can you afford it?"
Zhenhua also knows that he can't afford it, but what can he do? He and Qi Lei are brothers, Qi Lei opened his mouth, how can he be embarrassed to refuse?
Zhao Chenghai said again: "I can't read, but I know how to write the word 'bao'. Add a stupid next to the word "stupid", that's what 'stupid people' do!"
Zhenhua smiled and explained: "For the thirteen workers, I only guarantee half of the salary, and the guarantee amount is the most...... It's only thirty or forty thousand. Don't you have 20,000 pieces of Qi Lei here? What are you afraid of?"
Zhao Chenghai glared: "Don't be a fool in the future, Qi Lei makes a lot of money and lets you take risks, what is this!"
Zhenhua nodded again and again, but he was also bitter in his heart.
Alas, who calls himself and Qi Lei brothers?
In fact, it was not only Zhenhua who vouched for Qi Lei, but Zhenhua's brother-in-law, Chen Daogang, also brought more than a dozen bricklayers from his village to follow Qi Lei. The wages of these bricklayers do not need to be guaranteed by Chen Daogang, but once there is a problem, Chen Daogang must be fully responsible. If you let someone else do the work, you have to pay for it.
Although Zhao Chenghai is illiterate, he can see clearly that his son and son-in-law are tied up by Qi Lei, and in the same boat, once something happens, it will be a disaster for the family. Read the latest chapter of "Hidden Farmers in the Field Paw Book House" for free for the first time.
