The Era of Hard Work

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the colleges and universities in the University City had winter vacations, and the intersection market was more than half empty in an instant. The number of shoppers decreased sharply, and those who sold things began to celebrate the New Year holiday.

These days, there are relatively few people who stay in school during the holidays. Besides, in the university town, there is nowhere to find a place to work during the holidays.

want to play? I can only go to the construction site to play in the mud.

No, it should be playing on frozen soil.

Even if there are people who want to work on the construction site, many jobs have stopped because of the Siberian cold current.

Since all the stocks of Malatang and braised pork were cleared, it was impossible for Lu Dong to go to stock up during the winter vacation that lasted for more than a month from the year to the end of the year. The last bit of stock was sold out at noon on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, so Lu Dong temporarily withdrew from the temporary market .

The two businesses were suspended, and Lu Dong didn't take a break. There was still a lot of money-making work to do.

He first went to the office of Lujia Food Company, that is, the village committee of Lujia Village, and reported to Qian Rui and Qin Ya that they had ordered a total of 350 hangers/barrel of stewed water, and asked the company to send a special person to contact them.

In order to boost morale, mobilize the enthusiasm of the staff, promote the sales of New Year’s goods, and learn from the advanced experience of the chemical factory in the north, no matter whether Lu’s villagers work in the food company or not, as long as they can sell a barrel of New Year’s goods, the company will send them out after receiving the deposit. 5 yuan commission!

After a few years, 5 yuan is not much, but these days, many strong laborers go out to work and earn only ten or twenty yuan a day.

That is to say, after the company received the deposit from Qian Rui and Qin Ya, Lu Dong could still get 1,750 yuan into the account.

The times have changed, purely spiritual motivation cannot last long, and the joint development of material and spiritual is the long-term way.

It was not Lu Dong, but Lu Zhenlin, who sold the most new year's goods in the village.

The resin factory in the north of Qingzhao, which is the county chemical factory that was acquired privately a few years ago, is now the largest private enterprise in Qingzhao. The few people who bought the chemical factory have a millionaire fortune many years ago. The advantages of private enterprises, the development speed is extremely fast, and the resin products launched quickly rushed to the top in the country. It is said that the profit and tax in 1998 were nearly 100 million.

The better the corporate benefits, the higher the benefits. Especially in the late 1990s when the concept of employment had not changed, it was not easy for private companies to retain people.

Relying on Lu Jianwu's relationship with the resin factory as a legal adviser, Lu Zhenlin had the cheek to sell it door-to-door. The person who bought the resin factory was the secretary of the brigade at the earliest, and he knew it himself.

Lu Zhenlin made four trips back and forth, and won an order of 500 copies in one fell swoop.

This kind of business, in the first year, will often have a second year.

Compared with the mine developers in the south and the tallest buildings in the county, these guys from the resin factory are definitely serious businessmen.

When Lu Dong pushed Xiao Jialing out of the brigade yard, someone came to meet him on a motorcycle, an acquaintance.

"Uncle Quan." Lu Dong took the initiative to say hello.

Liu Mingquan, who was wearing an artificial leather jacket, stopped the car and said with a smile, "Lu Dong, I haven't seen you for several months. What are you up to?"

Lu Dong said: "Busy, do some small business."

Liu Mingquan sized it up carefully: "Didn't you lose your strength? It looks like you're getting stronger."

"I have no education, so I can only do some physical work." Lu Dong asked, "Is Zhao Di going on vacation soon? When will you be back?"

Some time ago, he communicated with Liu Zhaodi again. At that time, her school had not yet confirmed the winter vacation time.

The smile on Liu Mingquan's face disappeared: "I called yesterday and said it was already on vacation. What kind of job did I find? I have to work there to earn money, and I won't come back until I'm young." What's the matter if you don't hurry home and run around outside?"

Lu Dong helped to say good things from the side: "She is also kind, and earning money by working part-time can reduce the burden on the family."

Liu Mingquan said: "If she is like you, I don't care."

Lu Dong understood what he meant and didn't answer.

Liu Mingquan looked into the courtyard of the brigade, and said, "Come to play at home when you have time. I'll find your third grandpa to order water. This year's water in your village is much more delicious than in previous years. There are more relatives in the family, so prepare more."

At his age, there are a lot of brothers and sisters in the family, two or three are small, and there are not so many relatives who have Chinese New Year and are leaving.

Many families with many relatives, from the second to the tenth day of the junior high school, sometimes go to two families in a day, and they can't finish it.

Lu Dong checked the time, rode on Little Jialing, called Li Wenyue, who had just returned from vacation, and drove him to the west of the county town. There was a meeting at noon today.

When he rushed to the small restaurant on the west side of the county seat, he was the first to come and booked the largest private room.

The boss quickly turned on the stove, and the private room was still cold, so the two simply sat on the chairs by the restaurant door and waited for others to come over.

Li Wenyue said: "I won't help you during the Chinese New Year. The third grandpa told me that he wants me to go to the food company to help settle the accounts."

Lu Dong nodded: "Okay, the food company is short of people."

Li Wenyue was also full of energy: "Unexpectedly, our village also opened a company. I heard that the third grandfather listened to your suggestion."

"I just said a few words." Lu Dong also said the truth: "The real work is done by the third grandfather and others."

The two of them were talking when Qiao Weiguo arrived. He was riding a small Jialing in the winter without a hat or helmet, just with a big bald head.

"Aren't you cold?" Li Wenyue glanced at the top of his head.

Qiao Weiguo rubbed his scalp which had long since become numb and smiled: "It's cold at first, and I don't feel it anymore after riding for a while."

Lu Dong said: "Pay attention to it, freeze it once every year! What should I do if I get chilblains on my scalp?"

There was another motorcycle sound outside. A small Mulan car came and stopped on the left side of the hotel entrance. Someone came down and locked the car.

This person was wearing a black down jacket, a red helmet, dark blue sweatpants and white sneakers underneath. Because he was tall and slender, he didn't feel bloated even if he wore thick clothes in winter.

Taking off the helmet, revealing neat short hair, beautiful face and light wheat-colored skin, it was Song Na.

"Black egg!" Li Wenyue opened the door and waved at her: "Come in and keep warm."

The stove in the room was very hot, Song Na went in and took off her gloves, and sat on the chair next to Lu Dong: "It's really cold today."

Li Wenyue said politely: "The Siberian cold is never late."

Lu Dong took a cup, poured her a glass of water, and said, "Warm your hands."

Song Na took a deep breath in her hand, waited for the temperature of the cup to rise, and held it in her hand.

Lu Dong took a look, Song Na had often sold things in the market for more than a month, and her hands had a lot of cuts just like him.

People who are cold can't stand the north wind outside.

Lu Dong glanced outside the door through the glass: "Is the car new?"

"No." Song Na said simply: "My aunt's cousin's, just bought this year, didn't ride for a long time, and then went to work in the Weiqiao factory. She works three shifts a day, and there is no holiday during the Chinese New Year. Afterwards, she will travel far to go to the market. Lu, I rode first years ago."

"Look, that handsome car!" Li Wenyue pointed out the glass door.

The roar of the engine came in, and a Yamaha came over. Du Xiaobing stopped the car, ran in the door in a hurry, went straight to the stove in the middle of the room, took off his helmet and put it on the table, and kept saying, "It's cold! It's too cold! It's freezing fast!" Kill me!"

Lu Dong glanced at Yamaha and said, "There's no windshield either."

Du Xiaobing said with a bitter face: "I borrowed it from my buddy, and he drove it to me from Quannan this morning, and he didn't cry cold."

Lu Dong saw that he was wearing Nike sportswear: "You should wear thicker clothes!"

Song Na poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him: "Take a sip first."

Du Xiaobing took over and said, "Look at you guys, you don't look at me..."

The door of the restaurant was pushed open from the outside, and a man came in wearing a thick leather jacket and thick leather pants. The leather jacket and leather pants were old and made of artificial leather.

"It's just your foreign goods!" The visitor put the car keys in his pocket: "If you wear so little and ride a motorcycle, you will suffer from dementia when you get older."

Du Xiaobing was stunned for a moment, wondering what the relationship between being cold and dementia was.

Song Na hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Uncle Qi, drink some hot water."

Lu Jianren glanced at her: "Little Blackie, why aren't you black?"

Li Wenyue and Qiao Weiguo also greeted each other, and Du Xiaobing immediately knew who this person was, as Lu Dong had mentioned before.

Lu Dong briefly introduced Uncle Qi and Du Xiaobing.

Lu Jianren lit a cigarette and was not polite at all: "Little soldier Zhang Ga, it is fun to see the bike you are riding. You are Dongzi's friend. In the future, you want to learn how to catch rabbits, fish and birds, and dig traps with vertical nets. Come to me! It’s free! Instructions and meetings are included! If you want to learn how to make clay guns, thunderbolts, and fish fry, that’s fine.”

Du Xiaobing had never seen such a person before, so he was a little dazed.

"Where is the private room?" Lu Jianren insisted: "Shall we start?"

Lu Dong led the way to the private room, Du Xiaobing quietly asked: "Is he bragging?"

Li Wenyue said: "Old Du, Uncle Qi is a braggart, but he didn't brag just now."

He whispered again: "Some time ago, the University City Police Station solved the human trafficker case and rescued four children. I heard from Dongzi that Qi Shu went to work as an undercover agent and contacted human traffickers for a period of time. The human traffickers were all caught by Qi Shu's ability Convinced, not only does he want to cut off the chicken head and burn yellow paper, and worship Qishu, but the boss also wants to give up the position to Qishu, and call Qishu the boss!"

"Really?" Du Xiaobing felt incredible.

Song Na answered, "Really! Uncle Seven was also commended for his bravery!"

Du Xiaobing is a person with a sense of justice. Looking at Uncle Qi at this time, his back suddenly gave him a feeling of looking up from a high mountain.

The four carried their things to the private room, Du Xiaobing and Qiao Weiguo lagging behind.

"Wei Guo, are you familiar with Seventh Uncle?" Du Xiaobing asked.

"It's not bad." Qiao Weiguo said, "I heard people say that most of Lu Dong's skills were taught by Uncle Qi."

Du Xiaobing thought of something he had always wanted to do but never did: "Including making bugs?"

Qiao Weiguo touched his bald head: "It seems... yes."

Du Xiaobing nodded, he must ask for advice when he finds an opportunity, and wait until next year to get some bugs and kill his competitors!

Want to snatch Ning Xue? Ask the bug first if he agrees!

Entering the private room, Lu Dong brought the menu to order. There was no wine. After eating and drinking, he had to go to the firecracker factory to buy goods in the afternoon. Lu Jianren used to play with local fireworks and make thunderbolts. , and didn't clamor for a drink.

Others don't care if they drink or not.
