After chatting for a while, a piercing bell rang outside, and then the workers began to shut down their machinery and prepare for dinner.
"Let's go, it's time, we should go eat."
Lu Yuan nodded, got up, and went outside with Zhou Tong.
The workers were sitting around a makeshift tent, eating their meals wherever they could find a spot.
Originally, Lu Yuan didn't care about these things, but seeing how indifferent these people were made him feel a little uncomfortable.
There were only about a hundred people who came to help this time, and Lu Yuan planned to give them extra meals in the next few days.
After all, since they were helping me build my house while watching the tail end of a superstorm, I had to do something in return.
Then Zhou Tong called Shen Hu, Wang Mingming, Hei Zi, and others to come over.
Under another tent next door, a large table was set up.
The food on the table was served in large bowls and basins; it wasn't very fancy, but you could tell at a glance that it was the kind of food that would make you want to eat a lot of rice.
After working for several hours, Liu Qian, covered in sweat, brought over the last dish.
Seeing that Liu Qian was about to leave, Lu Yuan called her back.
"Sister-in-law, you've been busy for so long, let's come out and have a meal together."
After hearing this, Liu Qian waved her hand somewhat awkwardly: "Well... let's forget it. Xiao Chen and Xiao Tian are waiting for me at home. I'll go home and cook a meal. You guys can eat here slowly. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot. Well, I'll go back first."
Then, he went up to Zhou Tong and whispered something in his ear.
After listening, Zhou Tong nodded and handed the car keys to the other person.
Watching Liu Qian leave, everyone shook their heads helplessly.
Zhou Tong's aura was so powerful that most women couldn't control him at home.
Fortunately, Zhou Tong is a man who loves his wife quite a bit.
Then Zhou Tong took out several bottles of wine from his bag.
This liquor is clearly the kind of liquor that Lu Yuan brewed in the dimensional space before; the liquor is very pure.
With a bang, Zhou Tong opened the bottle cap, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out.
It had been a long time since anyone had had a proper drink together, especially with Lu Yuan; such opportunities were rare.
"Wow, we're lucky to have dinner with Lu Yuan today, thanks to Lao Zhou. It's really not easy."
"Yeah, Brother Lu, it won't be easy to meet again in the future. With this super storm, even going out is a problem. But it should be fine once the underground passage is opened."
"Who says otherwise? Why don't you move back with your sister-in-law? The house they've prepared for you is almost finished. If you don't move in, it'll just be empty."
Everyone kept bringing up the matter again, leaving Lu Yuan somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Hey everyone, what's wrong with you all today? We finally managed to get together for a meal, and you're all trying to persuade me to go back. I've just finished dealing with things at the construction site, so let's not talk about this today!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan picked up his wine glass and glanced at Zhou Tong.
"Although it's Lao Zhou's plan, I think I should say something beforehand. After all, this is my territory, and I'm in charge here."
Everyone burst into laughter, and then stood up one by one, holding their wine glasses.
"First of all, the first thing is to wish us all the best in surviving this super storm, and hopefully emerging unscathed."
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together, responding in unison.
"That's right. Although this super storm is a level 20 storm, we have millions of people here, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to weather it."
"Haha, since Brother Lu has already spoken, we'd better behave ourselves and avoid us."
"Over the years, under Brother Lu's leadership, we have survived so many disasters. This little storm should be no problem."
Then everyone raised their glasses together, and Lu Yuan picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
A mellow yet warming drink entered his stomach, instantly filling him with warmth.
"The second toast is a wish that we can all live peaceful and safe lives from now on. We don't ask for great wealth and status, but just to get by."
If you ever need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me. Just because I'm no longer in a high position doesn't mean I'll stop contacting you; you never know when I might need your assistance.
"Let this second glass be a toast to our enduring friendship."
Everyone's faces were flushed, and they spoke in a carefree manner.
"Brother Lu Yuan, what are you saying? Of course our friendship will last forever. There are others I dare not mention, but I, Shen Hu, will come to visit you whenever I have time. If you dare to kick me out, I'll stay here and not leave."
"Haha, count me in. I'll come here often, Brother Lu. Once the tunnel is completed, I'll come every day as if it were my job. I hope Brother Lu and his wife won't find us annoying."
"Ugh, you guys are really going too far! Coming to work every day? I'm applying for permanent residency here. Can you say something? Can you allocate me an apartment?"
Lu Yuanlie burst into laughter.
"You guys, are you just here to eat at my place expecting to be treated like royalty? Fine, I don't care about anything else, but I'll agree to the housing conditions. If you all move in, I can fit you all in."
