The Era of Hard Work

Xuefu Wenyuan, in the living room of the Song family.

Hearing Song Na talk about the afternoon, Song's mother held her daughter's hand, first happy, then uncomfortable.

Happy, my daughter has found a lifelong support.

Uncomfortable, the water thrown by the married girl.

This kind of thing, after all, it is up to Lao Song to make up his mind: "Nizi, you have known Mr. Lu for seven years and talked for more than three years. I also understand Lu Dong thoroughly. He is a reliable person. You and him get together. , me and your mother are also relieved."

It is obvious that the family members cannot object.

Lao Song said again: "According to our old customs, just meet in small meetings, meet in big meetings, plus the procedure of marriage. You are all young people who are wandering outside. The county also advocates changing customs, so just get engaged and get married."

Song Ma said, "I think it's okay."

Song Na had participated in the wedding of the same village, so she had a general understanding of some things, and asked, "The others?"

Lao Song thought for a while, and said, "I don't care about anything else, girl, just you and Lu Dong, house, car, and money, you don't need anything..."

There must be a dozen or so house books in my own home.

It's been half a year since I bought the car.

Song's mother is a woman, she is more careful, and said: "There must be a number, otherwise it will be difficult for the in-laws."

Lao Song thinks about it, it's the same thing, you tell people it's pointless, you can just mess around with it, but it's not easy to do it with your in-laws.

"Nizi, why don't you do this?" Lao Song asked his daughter's opinion: "During the engagement, both parties give change fees, and the man usually doubles the amount given to the woman. Marriage is just a bride price...how much do you think is appropriate?"

It has to be said that in this family, Song Na's voice is getting more and more important.

Song Na has a good idea, and she thought about it during dinner: "Just 10001."

Lao Song nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. If you need anything else, you and Lu Dong can buy it by yourself. We old people don't have to worry about it."

That night, when Song Na and Lu Dong called, they talked about their affairs.

The man is reasonable, and the woman is also reasonable, so there will be no conflicts in this kind of thing, and it will not turn happy events into hatred.

Under normal circumstances, what you are most afraid of is not a lion opening its mouth, but a surprise attack.

All said and done, it's simple and easy.

One day later, Lu Jianren asked Li Hongxing to be his driver and came to visit Song's house.

It turned out that Lu Jianren had been a driver for Lu Dong for a while, and he knew Song Na's parents, so he could be considered an acquaintance.

Serve the meal at noon, and talk while eating.

The customs in the central and southern parts of Qingzhao are not too different. The real differences are the poorest towns in the north.

As far as Taidong is concerned, when it comes to weddings and funerals, the poorer the place, the more particular it is.

Talk about the change of mouth fee, talk about the custom process, talk about getting married next year, and talk about the bride price.

Hearing the number given by Lao Song, Lu Jianren patted the coffee table: "This is a good number, one in a million, it represents Song Na's outstanding performance, and it also represents Lu Dong's vision."

Lao Song also smiled: "House, car, what you have is fine, jewelry and utensils, we old people, don't worry about their young ones, there is a generation gap, young people don't look down on us, They will buy whatever they like at that time."

Lu Jianren said: "My brother is telling the truth, the things we buy are really looked down upon by young people."

Lao Song picked up the wine glass, touched Lu Jianren, took a sip, and said, "There is something, let me tell you in advance. It is the custom in Stone Village that marriage takes eight months before engagement."

Lu Jianren put down his wine glass: "No problem, my sister-in-law's opinion is to get engaged this year and get married next year. The engagement will be placed next month, and someone has checked the date. July 6th, June 26th in the lunar calendar, happens to be the weekend, and it is also convenient."

"You guys think it's okay, then it's okay." My daughter graduated from college, and Lao Song thought it was a good thing to settle down early.

Lu Jianren continued: "On our side, the ceremonies are held on the man's side. It's in Lujia Village. We have a restaurant there, and the entertainment is convenient. Lujia Village has village regulations and civil agreements. At most, weddings and funerals are accompanied by a gift money of 20 yuan. Brother Lu, the ones on your side will be collected separately, do you think it will work?"

Old Song Da had heard Song Na talk about it a long time ago, so he nodded: "Okay."

"Dongzi and Song Na are doing business and have many friends. We don't have to worry about them." Lu Jianren said, "If you want to go on the same day, you can entertain them in Lu's Village. If you don't, Dongzi and Song Na will invite you alone. It's about the two of them."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Brother, when the time comes, count the people who have passed by your side, and let us know so that we can send a car to pick them up."

Engagement and marriage are not trivial matters. Both parties have close ties with the village, and it is impossible to get rid of some customs.

Fortunately, they were close, and the customs were not bad, and things were discussed again. This time, the engagement was basically settled.

The marriage is only finalized next year, and we will discuss the details at that time.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Lu Jianren and Li Hongxing bid farewell.

Li Hongxing drove into the Cherokee, came out from the north gate, and walked back to the village on the newly built tourist loop.

"She's a really nice person. No wonder Song Na has such a good temper. A tutor is good." Li Hongxing was driving the car, unable to hold back her words: "The Yue family doesn't look for trouble, so it will save a lot of trouble."

Lu Jianren drank the wine and said with the strength of the wine: "I just said, Dongzi is very lucky to find such a good wife!"

Li Hongxing said: "When I got married back then, I went to discuss things. I ran four or five times. This one didn't work, and that one didn't work. It made old Uncle Li want to quit."

Lu Jianren swayed and said: "Our village was poor back then. You see, how difficult is it for a boy in the village to marry a wife? How can the woman's family be so particular? I wish I could marry my daughter-in-law to Lu's village as soon as possible to receive dividends."

Li Hongxing said the truth: "In this society, money is becoming more and more important."

Lu Jianren took out his cigarette and lowered half of the car window: "You are right."

I can buy this car, I can think of ways to buy things for fun, and at the same time my wife doesn't make trouble, why? Isn't it because there are enough numbers in the passbook at home, so you have confidence?

When approaching Lujia Village, Lu Jianren threw away his cigarette, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Lu Dong: "I, your seventh uncle, have settled the matter for you, you don't have to worry about it, go buy some nice clothes, An'an just wait for the engagement next month."

"Okay, Uncle Seven." Lu Dong received a call in the office and said, "I'll treat you to a drink sometime when you're free."

After a few words of habitual silence, Lu Dong hung up the phone.

Lu Dong looked at Xu Qin who had just rushed back from the capital: "Go ahead."

Xu Qin continued to report the results of this trip: "After Zhao Laogen registered the company, he is fully preparing for "Country Love". According to Zhao Laogen's idea, the actors are mainly from the Northeast and Taidong. Contact relevant personnel. In terms of project funding, Laogen Media will contribute 40%, Lujiacun 50%, and Three Crown Film and Television will contribute 10%."

Lu Dong nodded slightly. The investment in the project was as high as 10 million, maybe a few million would be enough. Fifty percent is not a problem for Lujia Village.

Xu Qin added: "Except for Zhao Laogen himself, there may not be any well-known actors. Now that Zhao Laogen is setting up a company, he wants to sign a group of actors and use this opportunity to bring them together."

Lu Dong said: "These are not problems. What I am most concerned about is the publicity effect it can bring to Lujia Village. You have to grasp this in the future."

"I understand." The two had already communicated about this point, and Xu Qin said in a timely manner: "President Lu, this is equivalent to having two jobs for me."

She originally worked in Lu's Catering, but now she is working in Lu's Village.

Lu Dong also knew this: "Don't worry, there will be a clear statement from Lu's Village."

Xu Qin understands her boss and is not stingy at all with capable employees. The boss is one of the people who can call the shots in Lujia Village, so he will definitely be rewarded for saying so.

Lu's Catering Company, Lujia Village, a civilized village in the province, is on the rise very strongly, even if Xu Qin's major is not in business, it can be seen.

Sitting in the current position, as long as he performs well, he will definitely be a senior executive of Lu's Catering in the future.

What's more, it's not just about the future, the boss has already said that there will be real remuneration, and Xu Qin has no complaints.

She came out of a place like the TV station. When she first entered, she was much more busy and tired than this. Not to mention the low salary, she had fully experienced what it means to have five people in the office, four to watch and one to work.

After talking about many things about Zhao Laogen, Xu Qin turned around and said: "When I came back, I stopped by the capital and talked with Liu Yiwei carefully. He is willing to be the image spokesperson of Taifeng Garden Braised Chicken. I can come here to sign a contract to shoot commercials."

Lu Dong thought for a while, and said, "You and Gao Ming will do this matter, no later than mid-July, the yellow stewed chicken advertisement must be online, and the print media and TV stations will follow up at the same time... By the way, there is also the Internet. Sister Xu, you should pay more attention to this area. I heard from Wang Dong that Internet users are growing rapidly, and it will be an important media position in the future."

Xu Qin knew a little about the Internet, and said: "I have contacts with the three major portal websites. If I advertise on the Internet, I can talk to them at any time."

Lu Dong said: "Your department has come up with a specific plan, not only the braised chicken, but also the other three brands."

"Okay." Xu Qin responded first, and then reminded: "Mr. Lu, there is one more thing. Malatang's contract with the National Football Team is about to expire. Should we renew the contract?"

She further said: "According to statistics, since the national football team qualified last year, to last month, the promotion effect of this advertising contract is very obvious. This is almost the national football World Cup match..."

Lu Dong said directly: "The contract with the national football team ends here, and the advertising signs of each store should be replaced as soon as possible, so as not to infringe."

It's time for the national football team to be scolded by the whole country, and when it's time to let go, you have to let go.

Xu Qin said: "It has been started since the end of May, and the replacement has been basically completed." She looked at the information in her hand: "Mr. Lu, I suggest that the Malatang brand continue to use sports spokespersons. This will also have continuity. My side Several candidates have been prepared, some are famous, and some are expected to achieve results in the future."
