But Gou Sheng was missing half a day.
"What's going on? Why am I missing half a day?" Gou Sheng stepped out of the line and asked, dissatisfied.
"Don't you know why you've lost half a day?" Uncle Three retorted.
"Third Uncle, what do you mean by that? I arrive early and leave late every day, I haven't skipped work!"
“You didn’t skip work, but you were an hour late one morning ten days ago, and five days ago you went to the clinic because of diarrhea and left work two hours early. Is there anything wrong with what I said?” Uncle questioned.
"Well... okay, I admit it." Gou Sheng nodded awkwardly and returned to the group.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Yun asked.
The line was completely silent.
Ye Yun looked down and continued looking, only to find a few people who shouldn't be there.
"Wait, what's going on with Liang Lu and the others? Why are they on this list?" Ye Yun asked, puzzled.
"Yunzi, have you forgotten? Liang Lu approached you before, saying he wanted to work here during his vacation, and you agreed."
"Really?" Ye Yun thought for a moment and nodded. "Oh, it seems like there was such a thing. I thought he was joking at the time, but I didn't expect him to be serious. Is this kid that short of money lately?"
"Of course he's short of money, he has a girlfriend," Uncle San said with a smile.
"Girlfriend? How did you know?"
"I've seen her. A few days ago, when I went to town to pick up materials, I saw Liang Lu riding a bicycle with a girl on the back. She was very pretty."
Ye Yun chuckled, "Is that so? It seems Lu Zi has put a lot of effort into this girl."
"Of course, with a beautiful girlfriend, he'll definitely be all over her! This guy worked here for three days in total, remember the dates."
"Okay, I know that. Let's start distributing the money!"
I had only received half of my salary when I heard someone outside calling for my third uncle. The voice sounded like a woman, and she was quite young.
"Third Uncle, someone is calling you," Ye Yun reminded him.
"I'll go take a look." With that, Uncle San left.
Ye Yun looked at Gou Sheng who was walking up, counted the money in his hand, handed it to Gou Sheng, and said, "Count it carefully!"
"Hehe, no need to count, I trust Brother Yun completely," Gou Sheng said with a smile.
"Work hard from now on, and stand aside!"
Just then, my third uncle returned.
"Who is it?" Ye Yun asked.
"It's Xiaoyue. She didn't have her key to the house, so she came to ask me for the front door key," Uncle San said.
"Xiaoyue! She's back?" Ye Yun exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, you two used to be classmates. It’s been four years since you last met!” Uncle San said.
Ye Yun nodded and said with emotion, "It really has been a long time."
"Then come over tonight and have dinner together."
"OK."
After receiving his salary, Ye Yun went home.
When they arrived home, Lin Shuyue had just finished preparing lunch. Ye Yun washed his hands, and the two sat down in the yard to eat lunch.
"Xiaoyun, are you free lately?" Lin Shuyue asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ye Yun asked.
"I haven't been back to my parents' home in a long time. I want to go back and see my mom," Lin Shuyue said, looking at Ye Yun with pleading eyes.
Ye Yun nodded after listening, "Okay, let's go tomorrow. We can buy some souvenirs in town then."
"Gifts? We don't need those. We're just going home to visit. There's no need to buy any gifts; it's too expensive." Lin Shuyue shook her head.
“Look at what you’re saying. If I go back to my parents’ home without bringing anything, won’t the neighbors talk about me? If your family sees me going empty-handed, they’ll definitely be unhappy, and you’ll lose face!” Ye Yun said.
“Well… okay then, what you said does make some sense. Let’s buy a little, something cheap will do, no need to buy anything expensive,” Lin Shuyue said.
"Um."
…………
In the afternoon, Ye Yun arrived at his third uncle's house and knocked on the door.
"Here you are!" As the door opened, a beautiful and mature woman appeared before them, bearing a resemblance to Lu Xiaoqing.
The two looked at each other, the woman's eyes showing confusion, then surprise, "Ye Yun?"
"Are you Xiaoyue?" Ye Yun asked.
"It really is you!" Lu Xiaoyue excitedly grasped Ye Yun's hand, looking him up and down with great excitement.
"It's been a long time, more than four years. Xiaoqing told me that you've changed a lot, but I didn't expect you to have changed so much. You've gone from a delinquent to a heartthrob in no time."
"Hey, that's an exaggeration. I'm hardly a male god. But you, you've gone from a naive girl to a stunning beauty in no time," Ye Yun teased.
"You used to be like a block of wood, how come you're so good at praising people now?" Lu Xiaoyue teased, tapping his forehead.
"People change, you know. I'm not as naive as I used to be," Ye Yun said with a light laugh.
"Is that Brother Yun?" Just then, a voice came from behind Lu Xiaoyue, and then Lu Xiaoqing squeezed out and excitedly rushed towards Ye Yun.
"Get the sack!" Ye Yun grabbed the other's head, stopping him from pouncing.
"Xiaoqing, can't you be a little more reserved?" Lu Xiaoyue said, pulling her younger sister back with dissatisfaction.
"No, I want to be close to Brother Yun!" Lu Xiaoqing said coquettishly.
"What are you putting on? You're a grown woman." Ye Yun raised his hand and tapped Lu Xiaoqing on the forehead, making her cry out in pain as she clutched her forehead.
"Ouch, it hurts! Brother Yun, you hit too hard. You're not a gentleman at all, not gentle."
"I never said I was a gentleman!" Ye Yun joked.
"Hmph, I'm not playing with you anymore." Lu Xiaoqing snorted and turned back.
"Come in quickly, I've already prepared the dishes, and I'm just waiting for you," Lu Xiaoyue said gently.
"good."
In the courtyard, four people sat at a table with five dishes on it, including meat and vegetables, all of which looked quite good.
Of course, none of that matters; the main focus is on Ye Yun.
"Third Uncle, this is your wages." Ye Yun took out a roll of money from his pocket, all red bills, and handed it to his third uncle.
Uncle San quickly stood up and took the money with both hands. He wasn't an official, and he didn't care about face as much as the village chief. Besides, this was his wages, and no matter how much face he had, it was far less important than the face of money.
Uncle San took the money and counted it carefully. He was surprised to find that there were three extra bills in the money. He was very excited.
"Yunzi, you..."
"It's nothing, Uncle. You've managed the work team well, consider it a small bonus," Ye Yun said.
"Hehe, you... even your third uncle is embarrassed." Third uncle chuckled.
"So much money! Dad, if you're too embarrassed to take it, just give it to me. I'm perfectly happy to accept it," Lu Xiaoqing said, her eyes gleaming with envy.
Uncle San glared at her and said, "Get out of here. I just gave you twenty yuan yesterday."
