The Era of Hard Work

Back in Quannan, as soon as he got out of Yaoqiang Airport, Lu Jianren was already waiting at the exit gate, picked up Lu Dong and Song Na, and went to University City first.

When they came to Xuefu Wenyuan Community, the car was parked on the side of the main road, Lao Song and Song Ma took Song Na to talk, Lu Dong took the luggage out of the trunk, Song Na bought a lot of things, a lot of food and use.

"Leave after dinner?" Lao Song came over and asked.

Lu Dong inexplicably felt a little guilty: "Uncle, I won't eat anymore, I'll go back to the village first."

Lao Song kept looking at Lu Dong with scrutiny: "It's okay, I'll come to my house for dinner later when I'm free."

But Song Na opened the suitcase, took out a bag from it, and stuffed it to Lu Jianren: "Uncle Qi, I can only bring a limited amount, and I didn't buy anything. You take this."

She has always been a human being, she is one of Lu Dong's closest friends, and she is unambiguous in giving gifts.

"I don't want it given by others." Lu Jianren said with a smile, "I'll take what you gave me."

Song Na smiled happily. She knew who Lu Dong was, and she knew very well that the relationship between Seventh Uncle and Lu Dong was not ordinary.

After getting in the car and leaving the Wenyuan of the school, Lu Jianren asked, "What did the little black man buy?"

Lu Dong was not too clear about it, so he opened his pocket and glanced: "A lighter, some southern snacks, and a horn comb."

Lu Jianren patted the steering wheel: "It's still the little black man who has a heart, mine, your seventh aunt's, nails, all of them have been thought of."

Lu Dong couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Lu Jianren said again: "Dongzi, let me tell you, you can't be like those nouveau riche, you can do something wrong to your wife when you have money, and I will be the first to settle accounts with you."

Lu Dong couldn't help but said: "Uncle Qi, you are my uncle, okay!"

Lu Jianren smiled cheerfully, but stopped talking to Lu Dong.

When I returned to Lujia Village, there was no one on the street at home. The younger ones all went to work in the factory, and the older ones went to the elementary school to participate in group entertainment activities. Lujia Village is relatively rare.

Lu Dong also brought back a lot of things, and gave Lu Jianren a pack of cigarettes: "You can try the foreign cigarettes bought in Hong Kong City."

Then there is food and a few trinkets for Uncle Qi.

When Hu Chunlan came back from get off work in the afternoon, Lu Dong first gave Hu Chunlan the watch that Song Na bought, and went to the neighbor's house for a visit.

These days, it is rare to go to the south to travel, and the people in the rural areas have good relationships, so it is inevitable to bring something back and send some to each other.

What Lu Dong brought was simple, basically each family sent a few boxes of foreign cigarettes, and those with children added special snacks.

With the development of the times, the progress of society, and the rapid development of China, basically what can be bought in the south, most of the things that can be bought in the northern cities can also be bought.

In the evening, Lu Dong told his old lady what he had seen and heard in the south, and he also talked about buying a house in Shanghai.

Hu Chunlan works as the vice president of a food company, and her horizons are also constantly expanding. She said: "I have never been there, but here in the university town, the house value continues to rise. If you think it can withstand the depreciation of the money, just buy it. We will also buy it now." can afford it."

In the ups and downs of the business world, no one knows whether they will encounter difficulties in the future. Assets independent of the company can also become the guarantee for Dongzi and Xiao Song's future life.

Lu Dong said casually: "In the future, we will buy houses in every first-tier big city, and we can live wherever we want."

Hu Chunlan said, "I'll just stay here, in Lu's Village, and I won't go anywhere."

"Okay, let's live here!" Lu Dong said: "Our village is applying to the higher authorities to plan a new village. When the application is approved and a new house is built, we will plan carefully."

Early the next morning, Lu Dong got up early for a run, and met Aunt Tie at the door of the house, and hurried back to get a pile of packed food for Lu Lanlan.

"Dongzi, there are too many." Aunt Tie was embarrassed: "That girl knows how to be greedy."

Lu Dong casually asked, "Where's Lan Lan?"

It's strange that I didn't come yesterday.

Aunt Tie said: "I went to the county on a bicycle early in the morning, and she brought a group of classmates to distribute leaflets around your store, saying that you can't eat your good things for free."

Lu Dong couldn't help laughing: "It's quite thoughtful."

The little girl grew up gradually, and although she couldn't help being greedy, she acted like Auntie Tie, very authentic.

Aunt Tie also laughed: "Just don't make trouble for you."

Taking advantage of his morning jog, Lu Dong went to the construction site of the elementary school in the southwest of the village to check it out. Because it was a bungalow, the movement here was very fast, and the base had already started.

The older generation in the village always believe that bungalows are more suitable for elementary school students and have higher safety.

Lu Dong also thought the same way, when the child was just skinny, it was not safe to go up and down the stairs.

Now it's just mid-July, and if there are no accidents, the children of Lujia Village Primary School will be able to move to the new school around October 1st.

Uncle Lu Jianguo came over early, lit the cigarette that Gen Lu Dong sent yesterday, and came to the gate of the planned school.

Lu Dong looked at the upright sign, pointed to the left hand side, and asked, "Uncle, is a boiler room going to be built here?"

Lu Jianguo said: "It is mainly used for heating in winter. Since we have built a brand new school building, we should also install heating. In winter, we use boilers to heat the classrooms. The classrooms can be warmer and safer. Last winter, there was a primary school in Xinzhai Town. , all the windows were sealed with plastic sheets, and the coal stove was burned in the classroom, and the teacher ran out to chat, and a group of children were slightly poisoned by gas, but luckily nothing happened.”

Lu Dong nodded: "It's really not as safe as installing a heater."

With the location of Lujia Village, it is impossible to incorporate the city's collective heating in a short period of time, and it can only be self-reliant.

Most of the time, Lu Dong just raised opinions, but in real implementation, talents with professional experience are the key.

For example, in elementary schools, Lu Dong didn't think about the heating problem, but Lu Jianguo, an old construction technician, thought about it, and it was not difficult to solve it.

Lu Dong asked about the situation of the ancient building. Under the guidance of Professor Fan, Lu Zhenfei led Li Shan, Lu Jianren, and Lu Jianming and a dozen people to do preliminary survey work so that the construction could start after the summer vacation.

In addition, under the introduction of Professor Fan, we have also established business contacts with several formal companies that produce antique building supplies.

This is also conducive to the development of related businesses of construction engineering companies.

After the short vacation, Lu Dong returned to work at the company, and Lu's catering has entered a healthy development stage. Even if he is not in the company for a short time, he will not encounter many problems.

Besides, there is Du Xiaobing on the company's side.

When he came to the company, he didn't see Du Xiaobing, so Lu Dong asked Xue Tian, ​​"Didn't Lao Du come today?"

Xue Tian replied: "Mr. Du is on a business trip to Linzi. There is a store opening there today. He may stay there for a few days. He said he is going to inspect the new store."

Lu Dong nodded: "I see."

The company's business has entered a virtuous cycle, and Lao Du has gradually tempered himself.

Lu Dong then went to Industry 1st Road, where he saw Qian Rui. Qian Rui's engineering team had already entered the site and started construction of Lu's Catering Quannan Distribution Center.

The construction plan here has already been finalized. Lu Dong and Qian Rui talked a few words, and they drove back together. Zhao Juanjuan called and invited Lu Dong and Song Na to eat at home at noon.

"Dodo, what is this?"

When facing a child, for some reason, Song Na unconsciously switched to Mandarin: "You call me aunt, and I'll give it to you if you call me aunt."

"Well...well..." The child, who was less than one year old, could only make an indistinct sound.

Lu Dong came over and said, "Don't tease Duoduo, hurry up and give the things to others, or weep for you later."

Song Na looked back at Lu Dong: "Duoduo won't cry, right?"

She shook the rattle in her hand, Xiao Duoduo laughed excitedly, and raised her head frequently, as if she wanted to jump out of the stroller.

Zhao Juanjuan came out of the kitchen, saw Song Nadou's daughter, and said, "Song Na, you like children so much, hurry up and have one."

Song Na didn't blush, but said, "Sister Juan, you're talking nonsense again."

Lu Dong answered, "Why don't you have to wait until after graduation."

Qian Rui, who was looking for wine in the storage room, came in at this time, holding a bottle of Qingzhao Wang: "Lu Dong, we brothers haven't drank together for a long time, and we won't go home until we're drunk!"

Song Na said, "Brother Qian, Lu Dong doesn't have a driver now, so he can't drink too much."

Lu Dong also said, "Let's have a light meal, and we'll have a drink when we have a chance."

"Look, it's not a big deal, it's taken care of again." Zhao Juanjuan came out with the dishes and put them on the coffee table in the living room: "That's Lu Dong, if it were someone else, you'd be tired of meddling like this all day long."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "How can it be."

He can drink but doesn't like to drink. Song Na knows this. Most men don't want to drink, but it's easier for women.

Just as she was talking, someone knocked on the door, Song Na went to open the door, and Fang Yan also came over.

"Where's your guy?" Zhao Juanjuan asked.

Fang Yan put down the toy box she was carrying, and said, "Lu Chunna is busy at work, so don't worry about him."

"Go and wash your hands." Zhao Juanjuan said, "Let's have dinner."

The three families are not only close, but also close. Needless to say, Lu Dongsongna and Zhao Juanjuan, on Fang Yan's side, apart from their personal relationship, the family's father-in-law is also a shareholder of Lu's Construction Engineering Company with Qian Rui and Zhao Juanjuan's side.

In a small place, the relationship is torn and tossed, like a twisted hemp rope, which is inseparable.

Like Lu Dong Songna and Fang Yan, their companies keep advertising in the evening papers, especially Lu's Catering, which has never stopped, a standard major advertising client.

Everyone knew that this client was Fang Yan's relationship account. At the moment when the Evening News was constantly reforming and was responsible for its own profits and losses, Fang Yan could have more confidence in the company.

After eating at the table, Qian Rui asked about the situation of Lujia Primary School. Qian Rui was responsible for all the aluminum alloy and stainless steel projects of Lujia Primary School.

Several people also talked about the hot topics of Qingzhao, such as Moquan Park and Luozhuang Han Tomb. These projects are closely related to the people present.

Fang Yan's column also keeps posting. In her words, when the main tomb is excavated, the influence may reach a peak, because the reporter who came over carefully said that it might be broadcast live.

Just after dinner, Song Na had to leave. The company had something to do, so Lu Dong accompanied her back to Innovation Port.

A little later, Lu Dong received a call from Wei Yong, saying that his father Wei Ping wanted to come and visit.
