Qi Lei looked at the man, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

The young man was so excited that his eyes burst into tears, and he hurriedly asked, "Boss, are you here...... Is it really room and board?"

Energizing nodded". ”

With a plop, the young man knelt down and shouted, "Boss, can you give me a bite to eat first? I haven't eaten all day!"

Qi Lei smiled, nodded, and asked the worker to buy a boxed lunch.

The young man took the boxed lunch, and before he had time to thank him, he devoured it, and in an instant, he ate it cleanly.

Only then did Qi Lei ask, "Where are you from, and why did you come to my company to apply?"

The young man wiped his mouth and said, "My surname is Huo, a native of a county in Jiangnan, I came out to work, I didn't find my fellow villagers, I lived here, and I didn't have the money to go home." Boss, I'll give you a month's job, you give me food and shelter, and give me 30 yuan to go home!"

Qi Lei was very happy in his heart, nodded and said, "Deal, however, I will detain your ID card and return it to you in a month." ”

For only one dollar a day, where to find such a worker!?

The young man did not hesitate and handed over his ID card to Qi Lei.

On the ID card, this person's name is Huo Jiayuan.

Qi Lei laughed and asked, "Who are you Huo Yuanjia, is it your brother?"

Huo Jiayuan also grinned: "Everyone says that Huo Yuanjia is my brother." ”

Qi Lei couldn't help laughing, and said to Chen Daogang, "Brother-in-law, arrange a job for Huo Daxia!"

Since then, on Qi Lei's construction site, there has been one more Huo Daxia.

In the evening of the same day, another applicant came, who had a similar experience to Huo Daxia, a penniless blind stream.

The man's name was Chen Guangming, he wore short-sighted glasses, had long hair and a big beard, carried a broken bag, and was about thirty years old. Chen Guangming has higher requirements for wages, asking for room and board, three yuan a day plus a pack of cigarettes, and after seven days, he can leave at any time.

When employing people, Qi Lei naturally agreed. Anyway, Chen Guangming's salary is also extremely low, and Qi Lei only earns and does not lose.

As for accommodation, it is in the building under construction, and Reviver does not need to pay additional costs.

In three days, Qi Lei recruited six blind streams, and a few more came to apply, but Qi Lei didn't ask for it.

Six more people have been added, and that's enough. Among these six people, two have learned the craft of bricklayers, which makes Qi Lei's heart even more excited.

Qi Lei asked the small workers in his hometown to also paint the walls. Four blind streams with no skills, specializing in small jobs.

The stucco is divided into two passes, the first is brushing, which is not very technical. The small jobs brought by the hometown can be barely competent.

The second pass is a delicate work, which requires a real master to operate. Therefore, the masters do not care about the first brushing, but only take care of the second painting.

The workers were reasonably arranged and scheduled, and the progress of the project was very fast.

Every night after work, I had dinner, and the chat in the shed was also very lively. Because these blind streams come from all over the world, they speak with different accents, and they have everything from the south to the north.

Everyone likes to chat, but Chen Guangming likes to be alone. He was always alone in a silent daze and smoked, or took out a notebook and wrote and drew on it.

Qi Lei was curious, so he asked him what he was writing.

Chen Guangming smiled and said, "I am a wandering poet, looking for inspiration in wandering, looking for my lost soul in the crowded city. ”

Qi Lei was almost shocked, and laughed exaggeratedly in astonishment, ", it turns out that you are a great poet!

The workers also looked at Chen Guangming in unison, as if they had met an alien.

Chen Guangming was very disdainful of everyone's astonishment, turned his eyes to look at the city lights outside the window, and muttered, "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light......

"Good poem, good poem, this is written by Gu Cheng, right?" Qi Lei laughed.

"You also know Gu Cheng?" Chen Guangming was surprised.

"Of course I know, I'm also a literary youth!" Qi Lei began to brag again, and then asked, "What other works do great poets have, read two for us!"

The workers began to heckle.

Chen Guangming stood up, pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his head sharply and waved his hand, opening his mouth and saying, "Ah-"

Qi Lei, Chen Daogang and others were all taken aback by Chen Guangming's exaggerated movements.

Chen Guangming turned around slowly, waved his hand and chanted, "Raise the wine glass of the years, let the fragrance of wine wash away the dust of a foreign land." When you get drunk, you can put down the acacia lamp and let the dreams go away with the wind. Trekking through mountains and rivers, with a piece of moonlight and starlight, go to a distant place with you......"

Qi Lei and the others were dumbfounded, each confused.

Chen Guangming finished reading, looked at everyone, and said, "This is a poem I wrote, called "Acacia", can you understand it?"

Qi Lei nodded again and again, "I understand, I understand, I love each other...... That's like the sea, Chen Da Poet is really powerful, amazing!"

Seven days later, Chen Dashi asked Qi Lei to settle the bill, three yuan a day, three seven twenty-one.

Qi Lei gave the money and asked, "Are you going home?"

Chen Guangming shook his head and said, "If I don't go home, I will continue to wander and look for creative inspiration." ”

Qi Lei did not hold back, waved goodbye to Chen Dashi, and wished him a bright future and found his lost soul as soon as possible.

However, only one day later, Chen Dashi spent all the twenty-one yuan in his pocket and came to work on the construction site again. He had no money to eat, no place to sleep, so he could only go to Qi Lei, working on the construction site while continuing to "search for the soul".

With five days to go before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the project here is about to end.

Qi Lei entrusted the affairs on the construction site to Chen Daogang and went home to take a look.

On the tenth day of August, Zhenhua's house was full of friends, and it was the day of Zhenhua and Zhuo Yilan's "big gift".

The big gift is to formalize the wedding date, feast the relatives in the family, and announce the wedding date to the world.

The wedding date was selected by the old master, commonly known as "watching the day", and it was determined on the twelfth day of the tenth lunar month of this year.

Zhao Chenghai was very satisfied with this day, because at that time, the farming was just idle, the weather was neither hot nor cold, and it was very convenient to buy a banquet.

Qi Lei rushed back to Dongwan Village, just in time for Zhenhua's "big gift" dinner!

"I pinched my fingers in the field, and I knew that you had a big gift today, so I rushed back on purpose, it's interesting enough!" Qi Lei laughed.

"Really fake? Thank you!" Zhenhua was also very happy, and said, "The wedding date is set for October 12, and when the time comes, you have to rush back to drink the wedding wine! If you don't come back, in this life, we won't be brothers!"

"Do you need to say this? Even if you break my leg, you can climb back!" Qi Lei patted Zhenhua on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What gift do you want for marriage, just say it!"

Zhenhua thought for a moment, "I just want a car, preferably a Mercedes-Benz ......"22
