Chapter 118 I Hate to Replace Him
Chapter 118 I Hate to Replace Him
After New Year's Day, there was less and less work to do on the farm.
Apart from daily tasks such as logging and fire prevention, there are basically no other messy things. Old Yang has nothing to do and wants to invite some old friends to come over and do some activities, but it is too cold outside and he can't play chess or poker in the office building.
So I cleaned up the second floor of the cafeteria and put some tables, chairs and benches there.
The second floor of the cafeteria was turned into an activity center for the elderly.
Except for one private room, most of the space on the second floor of the cafeteria is still empty.
A group of old guys came over and were a little dissatisfied.
Someone suggested to Lao Yang that he should put some more fitness equipment.
Lao Yang said unhappily, "What the hell are you thinking? This is a cafeteria, not a gym."
The old man said, "The cafeteria can also be used as a gym. Since there is a lot of extra space, it would be a waste if it is left empty. Why not build a gym so that employees can exercise after dinner? It would be the best of both worlds."
Lao Yang said, "Why do you need to exercise? Farm workers start exercising when they get to work. Why do they need those things?"
The old man was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Indeed, a farm is not an institution.
Workers don't sit in offices either.
Going to work is working, isn’t that also exercising?
The old guys have different hobbies, some play chess, some play poker, and some play Niujiu. Only old guys play these kinds of things. People born in the 1990s have never seen someone like Jiang Ning. There are also those who do nothing but smoke, chat and gossip.
Lao Yang is playing chess. He likes it.
The old man who was playing chess with him asked, "I heard that Boss Jiang gave you a big red envelope?"
When these words came out, the other old guys also pricked up their ears.
Old Yang immediately smiled: "Of course, after working hard for half a year, I have to give him a red envelope."
The old man asked, "How much did you pack?"
Old Yang smiled even more proudly: "How much do you think it is?"
The old man didn't fall for it: "No need to guess. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Old Yang was so depressed that he had to say: "You will never guess that the boss has included six sixes."
"real or fake?"
The old man suddenly lost his composure and stopped playing chess.
The other old guys also lost their composure in an instant.
Six sixes, this is no small amount of money.
We work all our lives and don’t save that much.
Although the salary is quite high, the household expenses are also not small!
Especially when there are children going to school, buying houses and getting married.
How many people who have no other source of income can save so much money for their coffins?
Old Yang nodded with a smile: "Is there anyone who can accept this?"
The group of old guys instantly felt jealous.
Everyone originally guessed it would be tens of thousands of yuan, but the imaginary limit was one hundred thousand.
After all, everyone's salary is just that much, so it's considered generous of the boss if he can guarantee a year's salary.
I didn't expect it to be beyond the limits of my imagination.
An old man said sourly: "Boss Jiang is so generous!"
Old Yang was very proud: "That's not true. I thought the boss would only give me 6 yuan, or at most 6 yuan. I didn't expect that when I got home and took out a piece, there were six sixes on the check. I haven't saved so much money in my whole life."
A group of old guys were so envious that their mouths were sour.
I really hate that I can't replace it.
An old man asked: "Then you can pay off the housing fund loan, right?"
Old Yang said proudly, "I have already paid it back. The red envelope my boss gave me was just enough to pay off the bank loan. I have never owed anyone money in my entire life. I couldn't sleep well at night with the loan on my shoulders. It will be much easier now that I have paid it back."
The old man said, "I have nothing to do today. Can you ask Boss Jiang to find me a job so I can earn some money for my retirement?"
Lao Yang refused to do it: "You earn 10,000 yuan a month, and you don't have a son who needs to buy a house and get married. You have more money than you can spend. Why do you earn so much? There are only so many things to do on the farm. I have nothing to do and I am looking for you to kill time. Why do I need you for anything?"
The old man didn't care: "Who would complain about having too much money?"
There are more than one people who have this idea.
However, seeing that Lao Yang refused very decisively, he didn't say anything else.
When Lao Yang first came to the farm, a group of old guys were laughing at him. No matter how they looked at it, this farm had no future. Now no one is laughing at him anymore. They are all envious. Not only do they make money, but their careers are also experiencing a second spring.
The farm's influence is growing every day.
Now even Kong Fangfei can drop by the bureau chiefs’ offices to chat.
Not to mention Lao Yang, who has plenty of resources.
Many units are counting on him to give them more benefits!
……
In mid-January, school officially went on vacation.
The winter vacation has begun and the wedding date has officially entered the countdown.
There were less than ten days left, and Jiang Ning no longer had the heart to go to the farm.
I spend the whole day listening to the arrangements made by my elders or discussing some details.
The respected eldest uncle was hired as the commander-in-chief, the second uncle served as the deputy commander-in-chief, and although my uncle Zhang Yuedong was relatively young, he was the oldest uncle and could not be ignored, so he was also hired as the chief of staff, responsible for making suggestions.
While we are busy.
Jiang Youxin called Jiang Ning over and said, "Let's go to Qi Ze tomorrow."
Jiang Ning asked, "What are you going to Qi Ze for?"
Jiang Youxin said, "Let's go to Aunt Feng Yu's house and Uncle Feng Yu's house."
Jiang Ning asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Youxin said: "We need to discuss this with Aunt Feng Yu and Uncle Feng Yu."
Jiang Ning was puzzled: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both gone, we just need to deal with it, why discuss it with them?" Jiang Youxin gave his son a final lesson: "That's not how it should be done. Even if your parents are gone, you still have relatives. Your aunt and uncle can also represent your mother's family. This is the minimum respect and also the respect for Feng Yu."
Jiang Ning didn't quite understand, but decided to follow the instructions.
I told Feng Yu about it and he was very happy.
I called my aunt and uncle, and they were happy too.
Jiang Ning suddenly realized that his father was right.
So, I called my family and friends to go to Qi Ze.
There were more than a dozen people, so Jiang Ning stopped driving.
Call a Coaster and take a ride. There are many people chatting on the road and it is quite lively.
All the relatives think this car is a good buy.
It must be great to travel in a group in the future.
They each drove out, and there were only three or two people in the car, so there was nothing much to say after a few words.
Everyone sits together, there are more topics to talk about and it becomes lively.
Feng Xue didn't come today. She was busy at home.
Only Feng Yu and Jiang Ning came.
My mother’s uncle is older than me, so it doesn’t matter whose house Feng Yu and Jiang Ning visit first when they come to visit relatives.
But when the elders came, they were very careful and went to Uncle Feng Yu's house first.
I called in advance, and when the car arrived downstairs, Uncle Feng Yu was already waiting there.
They were even happier to see so many people coming. They originally thought that the Jiang family would not come to discuss with them. After all, the uncle is not the parents, and no one except the biological parents is qualified to interfere in marriage matters, and the Jiang family is rich.
These days it's common for rich people to look down on their poor relatives.
At most, we can arrange it and let them know, even if they are relatives.
If I could just make a phone call and ask someone to come to Bei'an to discuss it, that would be considered as being polite.
But I didn't expect that someone would come to Qi Ze on their own initiative.
Not only did they come, but so many of them came.
The more people come, the more attention they pay to it.
This is not only a respect for relatives, but also a respect for Feng Yu.
How could Uncle Feng Yu not be happy? He was quite surprised to see that the Jiang family did not drive a car but came in a Coaster. They did not drive a Mercedes-Benz or 570, those cars worth millions, but a minibus.
This family is very particular!
So he became even happier and chatted with her downstairs for a while before going upstairs to his home.
The three-bedroom apartment is just over 100 square meters, which is quite spacious.
But with so many people coming here, it still seems a bit crowded.
There was no room for everyone to sit on the sofa, so we had to bring over various small stools and dining chairs.
The older people sit on the sofa and the younger people sit on small stools.
Everyone sat around the coffee table. Feng Yu's aunt and cousin who had just returned from vacation brought over the brewed tea. Feng Yu also went to help. Fruits, melon seeds, snacks, steamed buns and other things were also brought over and placed on the coffee table.
Wait until the tea is served.
The uncle who was sitting in the middle of the sofa stood up and asked Feng Yu's uncle and aunt to sit in the C position.
It is the host's way of hospitality to give guests the upper seat, but today they are here to discuss business, and there is a saying that guests should not overwhelm the host. As guests, they sit in the upper seat and let the host sit on the side or on a small stool, which is too arrogant and disrespectful.
After some humility, Uncle Yu and Uncle Jiang Ning sat down at the upper seats together.
The others squeezed together and sat down again.
As for Jiang Ning, he took a small stool and sat in the corner.
If Feng Yu and his cousin hadn't gone to the bedroom, there would almost be no stool for him to sit on.
My uncle talked about the wedding arrangements.
Seek advice from Feng Yu's uncle and aunt.
Uncle Feng Yu said, "Just make the arrangements. We have nothing to say."
My eldest uncle said very wisely: "Although my father-in-law and mother-in-law are gone, we still have my uncle. My mother's uncle is the most senior, so my uncle can make the decision. If there is anything we don't arrange well, my uncle will point it out and we will improve it."
Uncle Feng Yu felt more and more comfortable and made a few polite remarks.
Of course I won’t make comments casually.
Otherwise it would be really stupid.
There were people busy in the kitchen. They were relatives called by Feng Yu's aunt.
Come and help with cooking.
Just as she finished speaking, Feng Yu's aunt went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Jiang Ning sat there for a while, but found the talk boring.
I went to the bedroom and took a look.
Feng Yu and his cousin Xu Wenjing were studying something on their cell phones and stopped when they saw him coming.
Xu Wenjing is still in college. She was born in the 2000s, a typical post-2000s generation. She is very active and asked Jiang Ning, "Brother-in-law, my sister said that you are going to Australia for vacation after your wedding. I want to go too. Can you take me with you?"
Jiang Ning said, "Ask your sister. I have no objection if she agrees."
Xu Wenjing didn't buy his trick: "My sister asked me to ask you!"
Jiang Ning glared at Feng Yu. He had no sense of responsibility. How could he push such troublesome matters onto him? Sister-in-law was the most troublesome thing. He simply said, "Your sister and I are going on our honeymoon, and you are going with us to be a light bulb!"
Feng Yu quickly winked at him, saying that what he said was too straightforward.
Xu Wenjing didn't care and said, "Isn't my elder sister going too?"
Jiang Ning said, "We are a family, so of course we have to go together. If you really want to go, I will arrange a separate trip for you later. Just don't follow us!"
Xu Wenjing was furious: "I don't dare to go alone, I just want to go with you!"
