The Era of Hard Work

"The flood is about to overflow the embankment, and the turbulent waves threaten the homeland. A strong young man stands up and fights against the dangerous flood with steely will!"

The host's lines were impassioned, and pictures appeared on the TV, showing a dark young man standing in the turbid waves and wielding a sledgehammer, his bare upper body sucking bugs, his face covered in mud and carrying sandbags...

Then, the cases were listed one by one, and the credits were jaw-dropping.

Compared with the previous nine winners, Lu Dong contributed the most!

Fight floods, catch pickpockets, expose scams, report fake money dealers, outwit gangsters, expose poison...

It is a great credit for any item to be taken out, but it is concentrated on him alone.

Honorary certificates, newspaper reports, and activists in joint security defense, each is a bonus item!

A person who does not have a public unit can go this far, even if there is someone behind him to push him, it is because of his merits that are beyond reproach!

In the courtyard of the brigade, the people of Lujia Village watched TV broadcast one item after another about Lu Dong, and suddenly fell into silence.

They all knew that Lu Dong had been featured in newspapers, caught thieves, and obtained advanced individuals in the county, but they didn't want the eighteen-year-old boy to do so many good people and good deeds in the three months after the flood.

"It's not Minglan's business." Li Jiazhu suddenly said, "Dongzi, you're amazing!"

Someone answered: "Amazing!"

"Can ordinary people be commended on TV?"

These days, the general public has a lot of trust in TV news programs.

"Don't talk about anything else!" Someone said: "As far as the three things of fighting the flood, Minglan, and Cheng Lifeng are concerned, I will obey Dongzi! If it were me, I couldn't do it."

Someone echoed: "Yes!"

Lu Jianren said slowly: "The apprentices I have taught are not good enough. He, Lu Kuisheng, is Zuo Shandiao's proud disciple!"

"Old Qi, don't talk nonsense!" Li Jiazhu immediately retorted: "Dongzi is a positive person, why do you think he is a villain?"

Lu Jianshe couldn't help saying: "Lao Qi, don't brag, it's just you who didn't miscalculate Dongzi's teaching."

"Exactly!" Li Jiazhu agreed.

Originally a good topic, when Lu Jianren opened his mouth, everything went wrong, and it became a denunciation meeting about Zuo Shandiao's bad behavior.

Lu Lanlan whispered to Nail, "Your father is really powerful. Even Brother Dong can't steal the limelight from him on TV."

I watch a lot of nail dramas: "There must be big news."

The place where the women were sitting was also very lively. Seeing Lu Dong appearing on the screen, Aunt Tie said to Hu Chunlan, "Dongzi is really promising!"

The old lady next to her patted Hu Chunlan's hand and said, "Chunlan, you've made it through!"

Someone else said: "I am a hero, I am a hero!"

Watching Lu Dong take the stage and receive the certificate and trophy from the leader, Hu Chunlan's eyes turned red, her son was upbeat and did not discredit his father!

Physical Education Academy, lecture theater.

Huang Juan looked at Lu Dong on the TV, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Is this the small vendor she had seen selling daily necessities and braised pork pancakes?

With what he has done, if it is placed in the school, shouldn't it be a treasure?

For some reason, Song Na looked at the people on TV and felt proud of Lu Dong.

Lu Dong's family conditions are similar to hers, but being poor and white did not knock him down, he always faced difficulties, as if he had infinite strength.

This power also drives the people around her, such as Qiao Weiguo, Li Wenyue, and herself.

As Lu Dong walked faster and faster, she had to speed up her pace, otherwise she would be dragged down too far.

Huang Juan said suddenly: "Song Na, your classmate is really amazing!"

Song Na's smile bloomed like a dahlia: "Really? I think so too, he is very powerful!"

Provincial University, Li Wenyue had already burst into laughter.

Lu Dong was commended and received an honor, and he seemed to be happier than he himself won the award.

The two grew up naked, and Li Wenyue has one of the deepest memories since he was a child. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he was right to find Lu Dong.

Of course, you can't find things in your studies.

Mainly crooked ways.

For example, if someone bullies him, Lu Dong will definitely fight back twice.

Yang Guoqiang looked at the person on the TV: "I heard that he is a famous person from your childhood?"

"Yes!" Li Wenyue didn't think too much about the two from the same school, "Dongzi didn't get into college, but he is very good. He behaves much better than ordinary people."

Yang Guoqiang said calmly: "We are all alumni of the No. 1 Middle School, let's introduce each other sometime."

Li Wenyue glanced at Yang Guoqiang and said, "Okay."

Yang Guoqiang stopped talking and continued to watch TV. He saw a leader awarding an honorary certificate to Lu Dong. He thought he was stable, but he still couldn't help being jealous.

If only this person had a lesser background, the name on all his certificates and credits could be replaced by Yang Guoqiang.

Yang Guoqiang shook his head slightly, knowing that it is unrealistic and useless to think about it now.

In Qingzhao County, in a hot pot restaurant near the train station.

A middle-aged man was wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, patted his protruding belly, stared at the TV, and asked Ma Yunlai next to him, "Is he Lu Dong?"

Ma Yun took a look: "It's him. I have inquired carefully recently. He is a figure in the university town, and the snack business is booming."

"Being able to stand on this stage, he has a lot of strength behind him." Yang Fugui grew up from a small merchant, and his ability and vision are not bad: "Lucky, if you don't know the situation, you can go to someone, once is enough." gone."

Ma Yunlai said: "I underestimated him this time, I will remember." He asked: "Brother Yang, we..."

Yang Fugui waved his hand: "This matter has not been negotiated, we have no conflict with him, why do we have to fight to the death? Lu Dong, at most a mature kid, he is nothing, but behind him, think carefully! I told you more than once, you have to think twice before doing things!"

He asked his relatives to ask around. It is true that every year before the Chinese New Year, there are groups of soldiers and veterans in the past. It is said that many people still have cars.

Municipal TV Station, No. 1 Studio Hall.

Lu Dong took the certificate of honor, and opened it towards the bottom of the stage according to the procedure of the previous trial, revealing the two lines of words inside.

In addition to the honorary evidence of the "Ten Outstanding Members", there is also a golden brass trophy.

This is a heavy honor.

There was warm applause in the studio hall.

When the leader left the stage, the hostess came over with a microphone and asked, "Lu Dong, do you have anything to say at this moment?"

The microphone was placed in front of Lu Dong, and according to the written script, Lu Dong said: "This heavy honor makes me very uneasy. I am just a very small person, a very ordinary member of the league."

The copywriting is full of characteristics of the times, depressing the individual and highlighting the collective: "I can't do this without the education of the league organization. Mayor Yang Liewen of Ningxiu Town and secretary Wang Zheng of the county league have cared for me and helped me many times... "

He talked endlessly about the importance of the Datong organization, and at the end Lu Dong was full of emotion: "I just did a little trivial thing, and I hesitated in the face of difficulties, but thinking of the strong backing of the people and the organization, I Fear nothing!"

Lu Dong recited a written copy in a way that was more in line with normal people's speech.

Of course, the content and routine of the copywriting are here, no matter how you listen to it, you will feel a little unnatural.

Lu Dong didn't care about these things, the task was successfully completed, and the honorary certificate was obtained.

The applause rang out once again, and all the honorees came to the stage to be received by the leaders again, and took a group photo with the leaders.

"Young man, you did a good job." A tall and thin man said after shaking hands with Lu Dong.

Lu Dong didn't know the leader, so he could only smile honestly.

For this commendation, there are only trophies and certificates of honor, no bonuses.

For the ten people including Lu Dong, this honor can bring far more than hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Those nine people are all from large units, which will add a lot to their resumes.

Wang Zheng did not stay in Quannan, but returned to Qingzhao with Lu Dong and others, and invited Lu Dong into his car when returning.

"At your age, and you haven't exercised before, you performed very well tonight." Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Your words and deeds are decent, and your advances and retreats are well-founded. You are no worse than those who come out of a large unit."

Lu Dong said, "I don't understand either, so I just follow the instructions."

But Wang Zheng said: "This is very rare among young people. Some people can't even do the most basic things well. I have seen too many young people with higher hearts than the sky."

Lu Dong knew very well that behind a heart higher than the sky, life is often thinner than paper.

The two legs of a person are limited in length, no matter how big they are split apart, they will not be able to jump to the sky in one step.

Along the way, Wang Zheng had a very good attitude, chatting and laughing with Lu Dong.

Having said that, any level leader will show a kind and easy-going side when facing the masses.

Lu Dong didn't casually ask about next year's election.

When they arrived in Qingzhao County, Wang Zheng went straight back to the dormitory of the County Youth League Committee, but Officer Zhao insisted on sending Lu Dong back.

The relationship between the two has always been good, so Lu Dong agreed after a few excuses.

"I didn't say, Lu Dong, it's a pity that you don't want to go into an official career." Director Zhao was driving, while feeling sorry for Lu Dong: "If you want to enter the system, you will definitely be able to get into the official department before the 25th."

Lu Dong said: "Brother Zhao, don't make fun of me. With my free-spirited nature, I will annoy whoever sees me."

Director Zhao laughed: "You are the only one who can talk."

Lu Dong turned to ask: "I heard from my brother that there will be a re-election of the county's two sessions next year?"

Director Zhao is good at doing things, and when he heard Lu Dong's words, he understood what he wanted to do: "It's easy to say, you make an application, hand it over to the county group, and the county group recommends it. As long as the county group can pass, it's not a big problem. .”

He laughed again: "You just earned such a big honor for the county group, the county group will definitely not block you."

Lu Dong said, "Thank you Brother Zhao for the reminder."

The Santana car did not enter the village, and Director Zhao had to rush home. Lu Dong got off the car at the village head, smelled the smell of scallions in the air, and walked north along the market street. many people.

"Dongzi is back!" someone shouted.

A lot of people came out from the courtyard of the brigade, and they immediately gathered around. Some wanted to see the evidence of honor, and some wanted to see Huang Cancan's trophy.

"Dongzi, great job!" Li Jiazhu punched him on the shoulder over his head.

Lu Zhenlin came over and said, "You're fighting for our Lu Family Village!"

Everyone was laughing and giving compliments.

Lu Dong's reputation in the village has undoubtedly reached an unprecedented new height.

After a long time, the talents gradually dispersed, and Lu Dong and Hu Chunlan went back to the old house together.

Entering the main room, Hu Chunlan placed the certificate and trophy under the photo frame in the middle, and said to Lu Dong, "Bring a stick of incense to your father."

Lu Dong nodded and did it silently.

He comes from an honorable family, no discrediting that plaque.
