The Era of Hard Work

On the early morning of the 5th, Lu Dong did not go to the company. He was preparing for tomorrow's engagement ceremony with Song Na. He discussed with Uncle Seven and Uncle early in the morning about entertaining guests tomorrow, arranged a motorcade to pick up people tomorrow, and told Sun Wenbin The number of guests roughly determines the number of seats to be opened tomorrow.

After breakfast at six o'clock, Lu Dong, Lu Jianren and Li Wenyue met up and went to the old village together.

"Last night, two collectors of antiques sneaked around the old village."

The three were sitting in Lu Jianren's car, and Li Wenyue said, "I don't know what I want to do, but Hong Xing asked loudly and ran away."

Lu Jianren patted the steering wheel: "These grandsons who collect antiques don't have any good things. They are tricked and abducted. Why don't they use bad tricks?"

Lu Dong said: "The heart is wild and courageous. If you can't buy it, you will steal it. If you can't steal it, you even dare to grab it!"

When the car arrived at the head of the new village, Lu Lanlan suddenly came out from the west, holding a very large cardboard box in her hand.

"Uncle Seven, Brother Dong!" She shouted when she saw the people in the car.

Lu Jianren stopped the car, and Lu Dong lowered the window: "Lan Lan, what are you doing?"

Lu Lanlan tilted the cardboard box and asked Lu Dong to look inside: "Aunt Jianyi's cat gave birth to five cats in a litter two weeks ago, and I don't want to keep them anymore, so I will take them back and set up a stall at the market on Sunday, sell them and buy them." delicious."

Lu Dong saw that there were five small tabby cats less than one month old in the cardboard box.

"You just know how to eat." Lu Jianren said casually.

Lu Lanlan smiled: "I'm leaving, I have to buy some milk powder later."

Lu Jianren drove out of the new village and soon came to the old village. The car was parked on the side of the road, and the three of them were about to enter the old school.

In the past two days, there have been fewer people around to watch the excitement, but antique collectors continue to come here from time to time.

As soon as they arrived at the school gate, they saw Lu Tao and a few people, and stopped a man carrying a black leather bag to collect antiques. This man may be bullying Lu Tao and others when they are young, and they have always been dirty.

Without further ado, Lu Jianren went over to punch the man on the back of the head and gave him a shave.

"Who, why?" The man turned around, saw Lu Dong and Lu Jianren with sullen faces, then looked at Lu Tao and the young men, turned around and left.

Lu Tao said: "These bastards are like flies that smell shit..."

Lu Dong patted him on the shoulder: "Wait a few more days, we'll take care of it here, and we'll send it to the bank safe."

The three entered the old school and saw someone taking a stack of white cotton cloths to the front classroom.

"Master Jianping." Lu Dong and Li Wenyue shouted.

Lu Jianping was in his fifties, with a simple and honest face, and said with a smile: "We need cloth over there."

He looked at the entrance of the old school, and on the opposite side of the road, there was a Cherokee parked.

Lu Jianping knew that it was Lao Qi's car. Thinking that such a fool had bought a car, he felt a little uncomfortable and unbalanced.

At this moment, Lu Dong asked, "Master, when did you come back?"

Lu Jianping said as he walked: "Just this month, the business in the capital is not easy to do. I have been mixed for more than ten years, but nothing has been mixed. Our village has developed, so I just came back. I am not young at this age, so I just come back to provide for the elderly. , There are a lot of things in the village, and I can help if I can."

Lu Jianren said: "It's good to come back, the fallen leaves return to their roots." He took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Jianping: "Your teacher was a good teacher back then, why did you quit? You have to go to the capital, and you still have to come back in the end. ?”

Lu Jianping took out a lighter, lit cigarettes for Lu Jianren and himself, and said, "Didn't you feel overwhelmed at that time? I just wanted to go out and see if I could make a difference. Who knows that no hometown is good. Going out It’s cheaper than doing something at home.”

His household registration is still in the village, but he comes back once or twice a year: "The village has been getting better and better in the past two years. I don't plan to leave this time when I come back, and I will retire early."

Lu Jianren chuckled: "If you don't resign, you have been a principal since you became a teacher in the late 1980s, just like Jiansong, who has been a vice principal for a while."

Lu Jianping smiled kindly: "There is no medicine for regret in the world."

There are reasons for leaving. On the one hand, I am not willing to live in Xiaopo Village for an ordinary life, and on the other hand, I want not to drag my family down.

Li Wenyue asked at this time: "Master Jianping, what business are you doing in the capital?"

Lu Jianping said casually, "Stuff around."

At the door of the classroom, Lu Jianping put out his cigarette, went in with his things, and shook his hands as he walked. Looking at something, his hands felt itchy and uncomfortable.

It's going to be out there in the morning.

The three of Lv Dong separated, he went around the warehouse first, then had a conversation with Professor Fan, and when he came out, he ran into Uncle Qi again.

Lu Jianren threw a bottle of mineral water to Lu Dong, just in time to see Lu Jianping go to another room that was used as a temporary studio, and said: "He has suffered a lot in these years. I heard that he has sold tapes, sold clothes and VCDs. not easy."

Lu Dong nodded: "If life is good, can Aunt Jianping and the child stay in the village? They have already been taken to the capital."

Li Wenyue came out of the office at this time and told the two of them that an antique collector ran into the village yesterday and almost took away the sandalwood chair from Grandma Fourth's house.

"These grandsons need to be taught a lesson!" Lu Jianren frowned: "The trap has come to our village! Do you really think there is no one in Lu's Village?"

…………

The sun was getting higher and higher. Sun Wanfeng was riding a motorcycle. He saw the armed police at the Luozhuang Han Tomb sentry. He turned around the Luozhuang intersection and headed north. After passing the high-speed bridge hole, he saw Lujia Village in the north.

After getting the news, I came all the way from Linzi, my buttocks hurt a little, and I finally arrived at the place.

There are people I know here who came here when I was young and still remember the way.

Approaching the entrance of the old village, bypassing the gate building under construction, and seeing the words "Lujia Village" hanging on the shelf of the gate building, I am sure I am looking for the right place.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a big sun umbrella erected on the side of the road, almost blocking half of the road.

Sun Wanfeng couldn't help slowing down the car, looked carefully under the sun umbrella, and saw a man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, sitting on a saddle smoking a cigarette.

He had just arrived, so he wanted to go over and ask. After all, the news said that there were treasures unearthed here, saying that there were a lot of gold, silver and porcelain, but we had to ask about the specific situation.

The person under the umbrella should be less than forty, tall and strong, and the legs and arms exposed outside the clothes are full of sinew.

He looks quite upright, but no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look upright.

Next to the man, there is a little girl of fifteen or sixteen sitting.

There is a sign next to the little girl - cats for sale!

There was a little tabby cat, at most just full moon, staying at the girl's feet, constantly licking the powdered milk water in a porcelain plate.

When Sun Wanfeng saw the porcelain plate, his heart skipped a beat. He had been collecting antiques for many years, and he still had basic eyesight.

This blue and white porcelain plate is an old thing!

I can't tell when and which kiln mouth was made, but the pattern and pattern seem to be something from the late Ming Dynasty.

Sun Wanfeng stopped his motorcycle,

"Teacher." He used Quannan's way of greeting: "Is this Lu's Village?"

As soon as Lu Jianren heard the accent, he knew it was from other places. He took a closer look, visually measured forty-five upwards, and nodded: "Yes? Are you from other places? Who are you looking for?"

Sun Wanfeng got off the motorcycle and said, "Come here to visit relatives." He turned his gaze to the little girl: "It's hot weather, come out to sell cats?"

Lu Lanlan smiled: "There are a lot of people coming and going in the past two days, selling and buying good food."

Sun Wanfeng's eyes swept over the celadon plate, and he wanted to ask about the plate, but seeing Lu Jianren's age, he had another idea in his heart.

If it's just a little girl, it must be easy to fool.

It's not easy for a person of such an age.

Sun Wanfeng saw the cardboard sign again—Sell cats!

"This kitten is pretty, don't children like it?" Sun Wanfeng touched the little cat lightly: "My daughter likes cats, and one of the mice I raised died after biting a mouse that took medicine. Hey..."

Lu Jianren said: "Currently cats can live long if they don't catch mice, and those who catch mice can't live for a few days."

Sun Wanfeng patted his thigh: "Who said it wasn't! Rat poison is everywhere! My daughter's cat died and she cried all afternoon."

He felt that it was almost done, and asked Lu Lanlan: "Little girl, how do you sell your cat?"

Lu Lanlan smiled sweetly: "Uncle, do you want to buy it?"

Sun Wanfeng nodded: "Buy it for my daughter, go back and make her happy!"

Lu Lanlan stretched out two fingers and made a V sign: "Two hundred!"

"So expensive?" Sun Wanfeng frowned: "Generally, it sells for thirty to fifty at most."

Lu Jianren spoke nonsense: "Thirty and fifty cats are all native cats and string cats. My family is an authentic short-eared cat, a foreign breed!"

Sun Wanfeng was like a normal cat buyer: "It's cheaper..."

Lu Lanlan said with a smile: "The price is clearly marked, and no counter-offer will be made."

Sun Wanfeng hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay, two hundred is two hundred! Money can't buy a girl happy!"

He took out 200 yuan and handed it to Lu Lanlan. Lu Jianren reached out to take it, looked at the sun, and his face changed: "Brother, change."

"The money was just withdrawn from the bank." Sun Wanfeng's face remained unchanged, and he took the money and exchanged two.

Lu Jianren took it, looked at it, and handed it to Lu Lanlan: "Take it well."

Lu Lanlan pushed the cat to Sun Wanfeng, and returned the small cardboard box: "Put it inside, so it's easy to carry."

Sun Wanfeng put the cat in a small cardboard box and got up to leave, as if thinking of something, he turned around and said, "It's hot, I'm far away when I go back, give me this small plate, so I can feed the cat some water on the way .”

Lu Lanlan protected the plate: "This is impossible!"

Sun Wanfeng took a step forward and was about to speak again, when Lu Jianren raised his head: "Brother, my girl sells cats, not anything."

"Should I buy the plate assembly?" Sun Wanfeng went to pay.

Lu Lanlan smiled and said, "I sell cats, not dishes!"

After saying a few more words, Sun Wanfeng gradually tasted something, and saw not far away, there were two young men sitting in the shade, still staring at them.

"I'm blind." He didn't say any more, put the box in the motorcycle frame, ignited it and left.

These days, little girls can't believe it!

Lu Lanlan took out 200 yuan and said, "Seventh Uncle, I've earned 400 yuan!"

"Isn't there still a cat?" The old god Lu Jianren was there: "Continue."

After more than half an hour, someone came over again, this time without asking the cat: "Little girl, how do you sell this plate?"

Lu Lanlan smiled and said, "I sell cats, not dishes."

"Okay." The man asked, "Why do you sell your cat?"

"Two hundred and one."

"I bought it, can you give me the plate?"

"Hey, you bought a cat, why do you want my plate?"

After five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Dong drove back from the county town with sugar and the like, saw the father and two who set up a stall, and asked, "How's it going?"

Lu Lanlan kicked the puppy next to her: "The little one is sold out."

Lu Jianren said: "The cat's father and mother are both sold. Your Uncle Jianming picked up a litter of puppies a while ago and asked him to help sell them."

Send it at the third watch, ask for a monthly ticket! ! !
