The Era of Hard Work

With the sound of "cracking", Lu Dong lifted the rolling door, opened the thick glass door, and took the lead to enter Lu's hotpot restaurant in the county seat.

"Come in." He greeted.

Li Wenyue came in with two big bags, and sisters Liu Linlin and Liu Zaizhao also carried convenience bags full of things.

Because the county has not yet established real central heating, there is no heating in the store, so Lu Dong turned on the air conditioner and adjusted it to the warm air.

Liu Linlin put down her things and looked around curiously. The hot pot restaurant is very large, divided into upper and lower floors. Looking at the first floor, the combined two floors must be at least more than 200 square meters.

The decoration in the store is very high-grade, and a lot of money has been spent at first glance.

"You guys get ready first, I'll pick up Heidan." Lu Dong glanced at his watch and said as he walked out, "Wen Yue, the layout of the store here is the same as that of the university town, you can go to the kitchen to get what you need. "

Li Wenyue responded: "Okay, you hurry up and pick up Heidan."

Lu Dong left, and Yuan Jing and Zhou Shanshan, who lived in the county, came together.

Soon, Baoya Liu Jie and Zou Kai entered the store one after another.

Liu Jie took a look: "Where's Lu Dong?"

Li Wenyue was busy setting the table, and responded casually, "I'm going to pick up the black egg."

Seeing Liu Linlin loading the dishes on the plate, Liu Jie said, "Let's hold on tight, the two of you won't be able to come back for a while."

Zhou Shanshan helped Liu Linlin and asked, "Why?"

"Student Shanshan, use your stupid brain." Liu Jie went to help Li Wenyue: "Black winds and evil spirits, I'm sure we won't see you during the Chinese New Year. If you see this, it won't be a thunderbolt?"

Zou Kai said with a smile: "Just say it in front of us, as the two of them, let alone Lu Dong, Song Na can make you toothless Liu."

Yuan Jing and Liu Zaizhao took the plates out from the kitchen, and said, "Lv Dong's temper is much better than before, maybe Song Na can take care of it and it will work."

In front of her old classmates, Liu Linlin talked a little more: "Lu Dong won't fight with others anymore?"

Li Wenyue put away the last set of tableware: "Stop doing it."

Because you don't need to use your hands, it's all about moving insects...

Liu Jie kept muttering: "Tell me, why do these two guys make a couple?" Although he is a man, he probably has buck teeth, so he talks a lot: "You don't know, on the day of our May Day party, then The two of you were walking hand in hand on the campus of No. 1 Middle School, that crooked one almost made me lose my teeth..."

Liu Linlin listened, she was silent most of the time and rarely spoke.

"I said Liu Jie, what a wonderful thing, if you say it, it will turn sour?" Yuan Jing moved a wooden chair and sat down: "You are studying at the University of Science and Technology, so you don't know the situation. After graduating from high school, Lu Dong and Song Na set up a street stall in the university town together to earn living expenses, and they supported each other and survived the most difficult period."

In fact, she didn't pay attention to it, and learned about it from Li Wenyue's mouth, but it didn't stop her from admiring these two people: "They share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and stay together, and that's why they came together."

Liu Zaizhao touched Liu Linlin: "Sister."

Liu Linlin didn't know when she stopped, but she got busy again and continued to load the dishes.

Zhou Shanshan came to help, and she was still talking to Yuan Jing and the others: "Lv Dong and Song Na are really amazing. Who in the university town doesn't know the store they opened? Now the university does not cover the distribution, and we will be unemployed when we graduate. Look at Lu Dong. Dong and Song Na don't have to worry about finding a job at all."

Zou Kai said, "Lu Dong is already at work."

"It's better to be the boss." Zhou Shanshan looked around the store: "There must be several stores like this. I don't look for any job after graduation, just waiting to collect money."

Liu Jie jumped out and stabbed the knife: "Student Shanshan, you might as well find a rich boss and marry her."

Zhou Shanshan has a thick skin: "I think, the age is about the same, the height is not bad, and people can still look up to me. Where can I find such a boss? You can find it for me? I can't rob Lu Dong, I can mess with him." I'm sorry Song Na..."

Li Wenyue reminded: "You talk nonsense before you drink."

Zhou Shanshan smiled: "Cut, it's not normal to marry a rich boss? Let me tell you, there are many people in universities who have this idea."

Here are all college students who know that this kind of thinking is spreading in the school.

Zhou Shanshan said, "I'm unemployed after graduation, why are we in the 80th generation so miserable."

The store door opened from the outside, and Lu Dong and Song Na pushed the door in.

"The more bitterness is yet to come." Lu Dong followed Zhou Shanshan's words and said, "This is just the beginning."

Lu Dong's tone seemed to be joking, and the people in the store didn't take it seriously, and greeted him and Song Na one after another.

The air conditioner was turned on in the store, and it would be very warm. Song Na took off her coat and went to help Zhou Shanshan and Yuan Jing. Lu Dong called Li Wenyue to the kitchen and brought out the charcoal for the hot pot together.

In the winter, I went to Lu's hotpot restaurant again, and it was impossible to only eat ready-made cold dishes.

Lu Dong brought a lot of mutton slices, vegetables and various ingredients from home.

Put in the soup base, light the charcoal in the copper pot, and boil the soup pot first.

Li Wenyue put the meat brought by Lu Dong on a plate, opened a bag, and asked, "Isn't this beef and mutton?"

Lu Dong nodded, "I got it from Uncle Qi."

Song Na answered, "Be considerate of others."

Not everyone is like Lu Dong and Uncle Qi, who dare to eat all kinds of mess.

Lu Dong smiled: "It's just rabbit meat."

Song Na rolled up the sleeves of her sweater and picked vegetables with Zhou Shanshan. Zhou Shanshan's eyes fell on her left wrist, which had a small and beautiful lady's watch on it.

"It's the same as what Lu Dong wears." Zhou Shanshan couldn't help but said, "Couple style?"

Song Na responded casually, "Ah, yes."

On a nearby table, Liu Zaizhao took a plate to the big round table where Lu Dong put the hot pot, and muttered in a low voice, "You're dressed in a fancy dress, like a fairy."

Liu Linlin glared at her, and Liu Zaizhao stopped talking.

After serving the last two dishes, Liu Linlin came to the big round table and greeted everyone: "Shall we start?"

After all, it was agreed to be her treat today.

Others came over one after another. Although they were in Lu's hot pot restaurant, Song Na took Lu Dong to sit aside and gave up the main seat in the back to Liu Linlin and sisters.

Because of the Chinese New Year, many people are still visiting relatives, so not many people came here today, so we just gathered around a table.

"What kind of wine do you drink?" Liu Linlin said, "I brought two bottles of white and one bottle of red."

There are fewer people drinking red wine in Qingzhao area these days, and the popular wine is more like sugar water.

Yuan Jing suggested: "Men drink white, women drink red."

Liu Linlin took out a box of Qingzhao Tequ, and Lu Dong took it to help open the lid, and poured wine for Li Wenyue, Liu Jie, and Zou Kai. When it was his turn, he poured a cup of tea: "I'm driving, so I won't drink."

Liu Jie was not happy: "Why don't you just drive a car? What should I drink!"

Song Na took over the words: "Don't, Lu Dong's skills are not good. It's not good if you really want to bump into someone after the New Year's Eve."

Liu Linlin just opened the specially bought red wine and asked Lu Dong, "Drink some red wine?"

Lu Dong shook his head: "You can't drink while driving."

Liu Jie said again: "Lu Kuisheng, you spoil the fun."

Song Na and Liu Jie were both sports students when they were in No. 1 Middle School, and they were very familiar with each other, so they said straight away: "When he picked me up, there were car checkers on the road. explain."

Liu Jie changed his words as soon as he said it, and immediately pointed to Song Na and said, "Song Heidan, Lu Kuisheng, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!"

Everyone looked at Liu Jie in bewilderment.

"I didn't expect you two to progress so fast!" Liu Jie's buck teeth could not turn into ivory: "You two's adultery has developed so fast, even the parents have seen it!"

Lu Dong slapped Liu Jie on the shoulder, and Liu Jie immediately became honest.

Liu Linlin poured wine for her female classmate next to her, came to Song Na's side, poured wine and said, "Song Na, you must have occasions for business and entertainment, drink more later."

Song Na smiled and said, "I can't drink normally..."

The wine was poured, and the hot pot meat was poured in. Although Liu Linlin was quiet and introverted, she was working part-time in the capital. After all, it was different from before, and she took the initiative to stand up and bring the wine.

"It's New Year's Eve... Well, let's drink together first."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

They are all old classmates from the No. 1 Middle School. Even if Song Na and Liu Linlin were not familiar with them before, they could still find common topics.

Eating and drinking, talking about the past of No. 1 Middle School, has its own taste.

Liu Jie said, "Song Na, you have done a terrible job to our head teacher, Guo Ying."

Song Na refused to admit it: "I can't harm him."

Liu Jie said: "Didn't you scare Guo Ying's brat into the group of leaders of the Education Committee? Guo Ying is in charge of the library now, so he just gets a basic salary."

"Guo Ying's brat doesn't have a good mouth, so why can't he blame me!" Song Na is not only responsible for this.

Li Wenyue was also annoyed by that brat: "It's too early for something to happen. In the future, the brat might make Guo Ying even worse!"

As we talked, the topic turned to the choice after graduation.

The policy has been made clear, there is no such thing as a distribution for this group of people after graduation, it is related to everyone's future, except for Liu Jie, who is a little heartless, everyone else pays special attention to it.

Zou Kai said: "Lv Dong and Song Na don't have to worry about this, they are both bosses now." He asked Li Wenyue: "You go to the village company to work in practice during the holidays, don't you think about graduating and returning to the village?"

Among old classmates, Li Wenyue said something: "It's possible, I haven't thought about it."

Lu Dong smiled: "My Uncle Li wants to let Wen Yue enter the agency."

Zou Kai also laughed: "The agency is good, I also want to enter. I heard that there is a unified exam now. It doesn't matter if it is appropriate. The interview is not very easy."

Zhou Shanshan looked at Yuan Jing: "It's better for you, you don't have to worry about the exam at all."

Li Wenyue also looked at Yuan Jing's side. He had some understanding of the conditions of Yuan Jing's family.

Lu Dong simply asked for Li Wenyue: "Yuan Jing, what do you want to do after graduation?"

Yuan Jing replied: "What else can I do, the family has made arrangements, and I guess I will enter a certain unit."

Liu Jie interjected: "Women don't just want to be stable, it's good to enter the work unit."

Zou Kai said: "Men can't try to be stable? It's good for men to enter the unit. I have to prepare early and get into a good unit after graduation."

Everyone laughed.

According to the thinking of most people here, doing business is risky, private business is not good, and it is better to enter the unit and get a formal establishment.

Song Na glanced at Liu Linlin and asked, "Liu Linlin, are you coming back after graduation? Or should you stay in the capital?"
