There were several tables in total, all talking about what someone's children had done and how great they were.
Su Le and others also followed Jiang Liang to toast.
After the meal was finished, everyone turned their attention to the large object on the table at the door.
Xu Hu and Jiang Liang cleaned up the old man's table, carefully lifted the box and placed it on the table. Xu Hu slowly opened it, and everyone watched without blinking.
A six-layer cake appeared in front of everyone, and Xu Hu lit a candle on the top.
Everyone was looking at the cake in shock, but Su Le started singing
Congratulations on your longevity and happiness, happy birthday to you, every year has this day, every year has this day, congratulations to you...
The crowd couldn't sing, so they just clapped their hands to keep the beat.
At Xu Hu's urging, the old man made a birthday wish, and with the help of several juniors, he stood on a chair and blew out the candles.
Xu Hu took out the cake knife and said, "Grandpa, you will be the first to cut the cake."
Grandpa Jiang waved his knife, unable to bear to cut the top layer of the peach, so he started from the second layer and distributed it to the important people at the table. The third and fourth layers were distributed to the families of several wealthy friends at the table. Only the fifth layer was distributed to the younger generation.
Only the first and sixth floors were left. "Huzi, please keep the peaches on the first floor for me. If the kids still want some, give them the peaches on the sixth floor."
Xu Hu nodded.
Mr. Jiang's smile never faded. "That's great! I didn't expect to have such a special birthday."
"Yeah, we've also learned a lot."
“This cake is delicious.”
"I'll do the same next time."
"Didn't you celebrate your birthday?"
“Can’t I live past 80?”
The big guys at the table looked younger in an instant. Some of them were not yet sixty, while others were sixty but had not yet gotten married and were about to get married.
Before leaving, he asked Xu Hu where he had ordered it, and Xu Hu promoted the company's dessert shop.
After dinner, everyone followed Mr. Jiang to say goodbye. Mr. Jiang specifically kept Su Le and the others. "I heard you're doing something big?"
Su Le wasn't surprised that Mr. Jiang knew about this, so he nodded. "Indeed, in Area T, as a pilot."
Mr. Jiang nodded and said, "Jiang Liang said you are very short of people now. I would like to recommend a group to you. Do you want them?"
Several people looked at Mr. Jiang in shock, "Does Mr. Jiang know anyone?"
Old Master Jiang nodded with a smile. "The army will soon have a group of retired soldiers. The higher-ups are still considering how to assign them. Some will be transferred to civilian positions, and some will go home."
Su Le nodded quickly, "Yes. I'll take whatever you recommend. This is much better than recruiting on my own."
Jiang Liang looked at Old Master Jiang, who seemed particularly happy today. "Okay, I'll have someone ask around. There should be news in a few days."
Su Le nodded. "Jiang Liang, you will come to coordinate and take them directly to build the house. Your staff will be taken care of. I will bring the contract over later. You also need to sign a copy for the people in your store. How much salary will you give?"
Jiang Liang said, "30 yuan."
Su Le rolled his eyes at him. "How dare you pay so little for manual labor? I'll just give you 40 for everything. There are also irregular benefits and holiday benefits. Oh, and I'm designing uniforms here. You don't have any designs here. Mainly because you work on the construction site, it's dusty, so I'll prepare cotton clothes for you in the winter."
Jiang Liang nodded and said, "Okay, you decide. We're all being paid together now, so I don't care."
Grandpa Jiang didn't bother them. He smiled and went back to his room to look at the cake and peaches. Next to them were wooden peaches that Jiang Liang had carved himself. He loved them both and ate them quietly.
Su Le and his group returned to their homes and took a nap.
The dessert shop had been receiving numerous cake orders, all within this month. And they were all for birthdays, which shocked Zhang Jing, who kept confirming.
Everyone started to arrange orders and start production.
A few days later, the livestock area had been divided. Su Le took advantage of Xiong Ying's absence and went out with Li Zichen at night to herd livestock and plant fruit trees. They also stored several tanks of spiritual spring water in a warehouse.
"Brother Can has contacted two families. They are neighbors and have four rooms in total. I'm worried that they won't be enough. Why don't you go back and ask?" Su Le and Li Zichen were walking on the road.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask tomorrow." Li Zichen hadn't seen his family for a long time.
Su Le nodded and looked at Li Zichen apologetically, "I won't go back. I have things to do here."
Li Zichen rubbed her head and said, "I know."
Early in the morning, Li Zichen set off for Hongxing Village. There, he obtained letters of introduction for several of his sisters-in-law. A week later, Li Zichen and his companions returned to Beijing. Su Le and Su Fugui met them at the station.
Su Fugui asked Su Le, "Do you really need to think carefully about whether you want to let them join the company?"
Su Le watched the train slowly approach. "It's just temporary. I'll let Li Zichen buy out my livestock business in the future."
Su Fugui nodded when he saw that Su Le hadn't lost his mind because of love. "Since you want to start a company, don't bring relatives into it. I hope you can be clear-headed and teach others how to fish."
Li Zichen happened to be bringing people over. He vaguely heard something. He brought his three sisters-in-law, Yao Cuifang, and several children. The children looked around curiously. It was completely different from where they were. They chattered non-stop.
Su Fugui smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is here."
Yao Cuifang didn't have the nervousness she had the first time, and said nonchalantly, "Father-in-law, you must have been waiting for a long time. We are here to work."
Su Fugui laughed and said, "I'm here to help, Lele, you're really stupid. Your mother-in-law is already old enough to retire, and you still bother her to come all the way here."
Su Le stuck out his tongue, "Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law. Sorry to bother you."
Yao Cuifang smiled and said, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother."
Wang Lan smiled and stepped forward to take Su Le's arm. "We are all family, so why bother talking about troubles? Your eldest brother is with Zi Chen now, and he earns more every month than he does working on the farm."
"Yes, our living standards have improved because of you and Lao Wu. We should be thanking you." Chen Qing also said with a smile.
Wang Xiang was holding a bag. "I brought you all your goldfish. I was afraid they would die while we were away, so I brought them here."
Su Fugui looked at the women, all of whom had a good relationship with Su Le. "Stop chatting here, come on, and go back with us."
Li Zichen pulled Su Le and said, "I have some savings now. How about I buy the one you made and give it to my mother and sister-in-law to make. Then I can pay more attention to my own business."
Su Le knew that Li Zichen had probably heard what he said, so he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll talk about it tonight. Let's go back first."
