As soon as Li Dafa saw Qian Duoduo enter the house, he immediately went over to pour her a glass of water and said with a smile, "My dear niece, why are you back today?" He had heard from his son that Qian Mao and Qian Duoduo had spent over 100,000 yuan to buy the land for that lumber mill, and there was also the demolition compensation for the nearby area, which would cost tens of thousands more. How much money did Qian Mao and his friends make outside? They spend money like this without even blinking an eye.
Many young men and women from Beian Village followed Qian Mao to work in the county town. Of course, they couldn't do the office work; those were all from Pengcheng. Even if they were to hire someone, they needed at least a high school diploma. Junior high? No, with junior high, you could only work on the first floor greeting those relocated residents. Want preferential treatment? You'd be more comfortable lying at home. Taking my salary and expecting preferential treatment? Qian Mao would just smile and kick you out. Seriously, doesn't he remember when I was in Beian Village, you were still pissing and playing in the mud?
Li Dafa's youngest son, Li Guoqing, was responsible for receiving these residents affected by the demolition. His daily tasks were simple: take them to the meeting room and talk to them about the demolition compensation. As for the specific compensation plan, that was decided by those above, and these lowly subordinates had no authority to make decisions.
However, although he was just a small receptionist, Li Guoqing felt that his job was quite important. After all, he came into contact with so many people affected by the demolition every day. If he could get along well with a few of them, he might be able to get some benefits in the future! Therefore, Li Guoqing was very enthusiastic towards every person affected by the demolition, especially those who seemed to be relatively wealthy, whom he paid extra attention to.
Qian Duoduo naturally knew Li Guoqing, and he said with a smile, "Guoqing is doing quite well in the county. I heard from Brother Qian Gui that Guoqing is a very warm-hearted person and a good man. Uncle Li, you have raised your son well."
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Li Dafa's previously tense face instantly broke into a wide smile, as radiant as a blooming chrysanthemum. He rubbed his hands together vigorously as he laughed, then said, "Duoduo, Uncle Li only has this one precious son in his life. Your sister Xiaohua works in the tofu shop now, and all her skills were taught to her by you! To be honest, Uncle Li is truly grateful to you from the bottom of his heart!"
He paused briefly, then continued, "Uncle Li knows Guoqing well. In our rural area, it's all about farming. He definitely wouldn't want to spend his whole life like us, toiling from dawn till dusk. You kids have all made a name for yourselves outside. Uncle Li always thought you brothers and sisters were all promising, and now it seems that's true! So, Uncle Li wanted to discuss with you whether we could bring Guoqing to live with us. After all, he's almost thirty years old, and it's time for him to settle down, find a wife, and start a family so Uncle Li can have a big, healthy grandson soon."
After listening quietly to Li Dafa's words, Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment, recalling the situation and behavior she had witnessed Li Guoqing during this period. She nodded and said, "How about this, I'll go back and tell Brother Qian Gui to take Guoqing with him and let him learn from him."
Upon hearing this, Li Dafa immediately stood up with a smile and said to Qian Duoduo, "Okay, okay. By the way, Duoduo, are you short of people here?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Uncle Li, do you have someone in mind? Who is it?"
Li Dafa said with a smile, "It's my two nephews. They're both very honest and about the same age as Guoqing. If there are any suitable matches, could you help me out? I'm doing this because my sister's family is really struggling financially."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Uncle Li, I naturally trust the Li family. Here's what I'll do: I'll stay home for two days, and then you can have the two of them come with me."
Li Dafa was even happier this time and immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll ride my bike over and talk to those two lads in a bit."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "It's so cold, Uncle Li, you must be freezing riding your bike. I drove back today, so I'll take you there today and let you see how good my riding skills are."
Li Dafu never imagined he would one day ride in a car, and he immediately said, "Is that alright?"
Seeing that Qian Sheng hadn't said a word since Qian Duoduo came back, he smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you come with me?"
Qian Sheng looked at Qian Duoduo and nodded, saying, "Old lady, let's go. You haven't been back for so many years. I'll accompany you so you don't get lost."
Qian Duoduo smiled, went out first to move her things to her room, then took the car keys and drove away with Qian Sheng and Li Dafa.
Wang Qiaofen came to Qian Sheng's house to find Li Dafa. When she saw him get into the car with Qian Sheng, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She also wanted to ride in the car.
When Qian Duoduo arrived at Shenghua Village next door, the name sounded nice, but it was not prosperous at all, not even as prosperous as Yuanbao Village, the village of his uncle. There were no brick houses in this village, only low adobe houses. Suddenly, a car came in, which immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. Finally, when they saw the Xie family's door, many of the believers gathered around.
Upon seeing that it was Li Dafa, everyone started discussing how Li Dafa's younger brother had become successful.
Qian Duoduo and her friends didn't stay at the Xie family's house for very long. They mainly met the Xie brothers, Xie Jian and Xie Jun, and chatted with them for a while. They found that the brothers were indeed good people. Xie Jian was steady and Xie Jun was quick-witted. This made Qian Duoduo feel a little fond of their talents. Upon asking, she learned that the two brothers had only graduated from junior high school, and Li Dafa had been paying their tuition money from time to time.
Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, I can stay at home for two days. I'll come pick you up the morning after tomorrow. You can bring some clothes to wear, but you don't need bedding. We have four days off a month. This rest period is quite flexible; you can have four days off a month or one day off a week. But the two of you can't rest at the same time."
Then, thinking about their family's situation, Qian Duoduo said, "The salary of our regular employees is 50 yuan, but you two have just started working and don't know anything, so your salary will definitely not follow that standard."
When Qian Duoduo's salary was revealed, not only the Xie family's eyes widened, but also Qian Sheng and Li Dafa's eyes widened. Did Duoduo really pay that much?
You know, Li Dafa works as an accountant in the village and only earns 18 yuan a month. At this moment, he was a little jealous of Li Guoqing.
