Chapter 6 Li Qiang
Jianghe Town.
Li Ming, wearing a brand-name shirt, holding a leather bag, and a large gold chain around his neck, walked down the car from the county seat to Jianghe Town.
His nouveau riche dress was so eye-catching that as soon as he got out of the car, he caught the attention of many people in the town, men, women and children, all of whom were glaring and kept probing him from head to toe.
"Whose family is this man? It looks familiar! ”
"The gold chain around his neck is worth a lot of money, so he is not afraid of being robbed by street slickers?"
"This guy must be the big boss in the city, how did he come to our place where birds don't?"
This costume was specially purchased by Li Ming in the city, although they are all imitations, but there are few people in the town who have seen the world, they will never be able to see it, as long as these people are frightened, the recruitment will naturally take the boat.
Li Ming came to a noodle stall on the side of the road in front of everyone, wiped the table with paper, and then put the leather bag in his hand on the table.
"Boss, bring me two or two small noodles, and you will lend me another day for this shop."
Hearing that Li Ming wanted to borrow his own shop, the dark-skinned boss was immediately unhappy, but before he could refuse, Li Ming took out a hundred yuan and slapped it on the table.
"Eat a bowl of noodles and use your shop for a day, this money should be enough, right?"
The price in the town is very low, a bowl of beef noodles is only five yuan a piece, Li Ming suddenly took out a hundred yuan, which really startled the boss.
This noodle stall only has a few tables, chairs and benches, not even a shed, Li Ming spent so much money just to borrow it for a day, it's too extravagant, isn't this a waste of money?
When the people around saw Li Ming so arrogant, they became even more interested in Li Ming for a while, and they all wanted to know what Li Ming was going to do!
After Li Ming finished his meal unhurriedly, there were already a lot of people watching the excitement around the noodle stall, he wiped his mouth gracefully, and then bought an empty yogurt box and watercolor pens at the commissary on the side with a few yuan.
He tore the yogurt box into the shape of a brand, then stood it on the table with a noodle bowl and wrote two large letters on it.
"Recruitment!"
When these two words came out, the eyes of the men around them lit up.
A man in a sweat coat squeezed in and couldn't wait to ask, "This boss, what kind of job are you hiring?" How much does it cost? ”
Li Ming didn't answer immediately, but pulled a piece of paper to wipe his shoes, and after everyone's appetite was satisfied, he didn't hurry to speak.
"My name is Li Ming, and I am from Lijia Village."
"Anyone who knows me should know that I do business outside all year round, and I rarely come back during the New Year's holidays."
"I've been out there for so many years, and I've earned a little money, and recently I've been working on a construction site with someone else in the city, so I need some workers."
"The salary for construction workers in the market is 35 a day, everyone is a villager, if you are willing to come to my construction site, I can give you 40 a day!"
A long paragraph fell, and everyone who was hung up heard Li Ming give a salary of 40 a day, and everyone's faces showed excitement, and some people even raised their hands directly to sign up.
Li Ming took out the registration book and pen from his leather bag and sat on the noodle stall to register the applicants one by one.
In the blink of an eye, a morning passed, and there were only a few people left to sign up, and after Li Ming wrote down the names of these people, he counted the names on the roster, but the result was not satisfactory.
There were only about 40 people who came to sign up in the morning, and even half of the goal was not completed.
Although there should be people who will sign up in the past two days, there should not be more people than this morning, after all, the next week will not be the day to catch the market, unless he personally goes to the surrounding villages to recruit people, it will be difficult to recruit enough people within the agreed time.
His wife and daughter are still in the hospital, if Li Ming personally goes to the village to recruit people, then he will not be able to take care of his wife and daughter, with Zhang Wanhui's character, he will definitely not even be able to eat well......
Li Ming felt a trace of helplessness in his heart, but just as he was about to make a choice, a tall and dark-skinned man wearing a gray T-shirt suddenly appeared in front of Li Ming.
The man's name is Li Qiang, and he is Li Ming's hair.
Li Qiang used to be from Lijia Village and was Li Ming's best playmate when he was a child, but when he was ten years old, his mother remarried and went to other villages with him, and the two never contacted each other again.
"Third brother, is it really you?"
Even in the past ten years, Li Qiang still recognized Li Ming at a glance, with an excited smile on his face.
Li Ming is the third in the family, and his nickname is San'er, so Li Qiang has called him the third brother since he was a child.
Originally, Li Ming didn't recognize Li Qiang when he grew up, but when he heard Li Qiang call himself, his mind immediately came to mind the fat boy who had been following his ass when he was a child.
In the previous life, when Li Ming was investigating the reason why his wife and daughter jumped into the river, he also inquired about this news, but what he didn't expect was that Li Qiang, who was younger, became the son of the leader of Jiangnan City!
Li Ming also wanted to catch up with Li Qiang at that time, but because of identity issues, Li Qiang refused to meet, and the two have not been in touch since then, which has also become a regret in Li Ming's heart......
Now that he saw Li Qiang again, who was still willing to call him his third brother, Li Ming felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for so many years, I didn't expect to meet you here!" ”
"Third brother is blaming me for not going to you?" Li Qiang thought that Li Ming was blaming himself, so he suddenly became a little anxious, and explained: "After I remarried with my mother, I went to other places with my stepfather, and I just came back." ”
No wonder there has been no news of Li Qiang in his last life, it turns out that Li Qiang is only coming back now.
It seems that the divorce in the previous life not only made me lose my wife and daughter, but also lost my best friend!
Li Ming knew that Li Qiang was a tendon, and if he didn't say to forgive him, he would definitely die here in a hurry.
So he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, the third brother doesn't blame you." ”
Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the sign on the table for recruitment, so he asked about Li Ming's recent situation.
Hearing that Ran Ran was seriously ill, Li Qiang directly took off a thick cloth from his trouser belt and took out a passbook from it.
"I came back this time to marry my daughter-in-law, this is the money my mother gave me for my daughter-in-law, you can use it first, and then give it to me when you have it." Li Qiang gave the passbook to Li Ming without hesitation, not worrying that Li Ming would not return him.
I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and as soon as I met, I gave my daughter-in-law and son to myself, Li Ming has been a lonely person for decades in his last life, and he feels such a sincere friendship at this moment, which makes his heart tremble.
Now that he has lived a life again, he knows what he lost in his last life......
Although this is Li Qiang's daughter-in-law, Li Ming is really short of money now, in addition to paying the medical bills to Ran Ran, he has to repay his good uncle's loan shark a month later, so he has no hypocrisy and takes the passbook in Li Qiang's hand.
"Qiangzi, lend me this for a month, and I will definitely pay you back when the time comes, and I will never delay you marrying your daughter-in-law." Li Ming said solemnly.
Hearing Li Ming's words, Li Qiang said angrily: "Third brother, you look down on me too much, am I the kind of person who values sex and ignores friends?" ”
"You use this money first, when will your wife marry or not? Now it's important to treat Ranran. ”
Li Ming's heart was warm, and he secretly decided that he would never lose them again in this life......
