The Era of Hard Work

He took a Mazar and sat at the dining table. Lu Dong looked at the opposite side. Lu Jianping's face turned pale and his breathing was a little short, because he heard everything Sun Wanfeng said outside.

Lu Jianren took out his cigarette and lit it, and grabbed the wine glass in front of him with one hand.

Lu Jianping shivered in fright, and subconsciously hid back, for fear that Lu Jianren would hit him in the face with a wine glass.

Lu Dong didn't go to see Uncle Seven, he was full of doubts: "Master Jianping, why?"

"No reason?" Lu Jianping stretched out his hand, looked at his right hand, and said, "I can't stay at home, and I can't keep my hands idle!"

boom--

Lu Jianren patted the table: "If you can't be idle, if you can't stay, you just steal things?"

He still didn't quite believe what the guy outside the wall said: "Is what that bastard said true?"

Lu Jianping rubbed his fingers vigorously, without saying a word for a long time.

"He didn't wrong you, did he?" Lu Dong asked in another way.

"No." Lu Jianping rubbed the left hand of his right hand, and kept increasing his strength: "I stole the three pieces of jewelry, and I also stole the three bronze bells in the elementary school. From the time I was young to here, how many things have I stolen? There are too many to count!"

Lu Dong looked at his hand: "Why?"

Lu Jianren pointed at his nose and scolded: "You bastard!"

In Lujia Village, even his mountain sculpture always thinks that Lu Jianping is a good person: "It's fine if you steal from the outside, but even from our village? Your conscience is like a dog!"

There was a bit of pain on Lu Jianping's face. Today's incident cannot be covered up. What has been concealed for so many years is about to be exposed. From now on, everyone in the family, including the married daughter, will be ashamed.

"I don't want to, and I don't want to!" Lu Jianping put his hands between his legs: "I don't want to steal bronze bells, so I have the money to go to the capital?"

Lu Dong saw that he wanted to say something, so he didn't interrupt, and stopped Qi Shu.

Lv Jianping gasped, and said: "You don't know, you don't understand, you really don't understand. I don't know, when it started, it's been too long, I can't remember clearly. In the 1970s When I was so hungry that I couldn’t sleep? Maybe. At that time, how poor our village was, you don’t know Lu Dong, you know Lao Qi, and the hungry people are spread out on the gate, and they don’t want to move.”

At Lu Jianren's age, he still has memories.

Lu Jianping continued: "What should I do if I'm hungry? Waiting to die? Stand next to me? I'll go out and steal food. I don't dare to go near it. I'm afraid it will affect my reputation or be caught and beaten by the head of the village. I will steal sweet potatoes far away." , Steal a stick to eat, it’s so delicious, so delicious.”

He pointed to the table of meat and vegetables in front of him: "It's much more delicious than this! Later, the elementary school returned to normal, I went to teach, and I can eat normally, but stick noodles and wheat noodles are not as delicious as the stolen ones! I couldn't help it, so I went to steal it from a distance. The food I stole was very fragrant and delicious. Eating it raw was even more delicious than cooking it! At the beginning, I only ate it, and then I stole other things. If I stole the food, I would eat it, and if I didn’t dare to bring it back, I would throw it away after holding it in my hand for a while.”

These surprised Lu Dong and Lu Jianren.

"Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to throw away the things I have so hard to steal? Do you know that feeling?" Lu Jianping unconsciously raised his voice: "Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to endure the things in the village and not steal them? Do you know how hard it is for me to see something and hold back my hand when I want to reach out?"

No one knows, indeed no one knows, he has always been a good person in the village: "Lao Qi, our fathers, our grandpas, since we beat our ancestors, they say that we can't do things that are sorry for the village, and we can't do things that are wrong for the clan. , I always remember! In order not to cause trouble for the village, no matter how uncomfortable I feel in my heart, no matter how itchy my hands are, I will bear it! But there are always times when you can’t help it, you smoke, knowing how uncomfortable smoking addiction is, I am worse than that uncomfortable."

As if remembering the pain, Lu Jianping panted louder: "If I stay in the village again, I can't bear it anymore, so I want to go. I need money to go far away. The little money I earn can be used to support my family. The two sisters are gone, so I can only think of a way. I have been thinking about the bronze bell in the elementary school for a long time. It happened that Sun Wanfeng started tinkering with antiques, so I stole it in the middle of the night and buried it in the private plot in the south of the old village. Don't worry about it anymore, dig it up and sell it, and then go to the capital."

Lu Dong asked: "You didn't stop in the capital?"

Lv Jianping laughed suddenly, and there was joy in the laughter: "You don't know how happy and comfortable I have been in the capital these years. I only do some small things, but I can enjoy myself every day. Even if I get caught occasionally, I will pay for it." It's just a little money and it's over, unlike in Lu's Village, where you worry about this and that, it's so aggrieved!"

"Your special brew is just staying outside, why come back!" Lu Jianren asked.

"Isn't there no money?" Lu Jianping's exhilaration disappeared in an instant: "A penny can't beat a hero..."

Lu Dong roughly understood: "So, you and that antique dealer have the idea of ​​making these gold jewelry, and want to sell them and return to the capital with money."

Lu Jianping said: "That's right, that's the plan. If I stay in the village for a long time, sooner or later I can't help it. The village will be clean after I leave. What kind of national civilized village is our village? If people like me leave, it will save money." Drag the village back, so as not to cause embarrassment for the whole family to follow..."

Having said that, he came to his senses, and the whole family was about to embarrass himself: "Lu Dong, your eldest sister and second sister are married, and I have a grandson and a granddaughter. I'm leaving because I'm afraid of hurting them!"

Lu Dong didn't speak, and Lu Jianren didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry for your elder sister and second sister, I'm sorry for my grandson and granddaughter..."

Speaking of this, Lu Jianping slapped his right hand on the table with his right hand rubbed between his legs, picked up the wine bottle next to him with his left hand, lifted it up and threw it at his right hand.

Lu Dong was tall and long-armed, with sharp eyes and quick hands. He grabbed Lu Jianping's left wrist with one hand, took off the wine bottle with the other, and said, "No need to do this!"

Throwing the bottle to Seventh Uncle, Lu Dong just looked at Lu Jianping to prevent him from doing other excessive actions.

Right and wrong are naturally defined by law enforcement agencies and relevant laws.

As for what Lu Jianping said, Lu Dong felt that part of it should be credible.

Lu Jianping may have formed behaviors similar to kleptomania due to some reasons.

Lu Dong can't tell the details, after all, he doesn't know much about these things.

The whistle of the siren came quickly, and Zhang Ju personally led the team, along with an ambulance.

A number of policemen began to deal with the scene according to the procedures. They were all professionals, and their actions were quite swift.

That antique dealer had suffered from bad luck for eight lifetimes, and was severely bitten by Wangcai. He had to be sent to the hospital for examination first, and at least he had to get a rabies vaccine.

Lu Jianping was also pushed into a police car.

Many people gathered around, and the news spread. Seeing that Lu Jianping was taken away by the police, people in Lujia Village couldn't believe it.

Iron Rooster was shaking his head, and said to Lu Jianren: "Lao Qi, you stole the things, and I think Bi Jianping is more credible."

Lu Jianren was in a bad mood: "If you get all the stolen goods, you can still wrong him."

The police were going to withdraw, and the three items were also taken away as evidence.

Lu Dong specifically found Zhang Ju and said, "These are all registered and belong to the category of cultural relics."

Director Zhang understood what Lu Dong meant, and also knew that some bad things had happened in recent years, so he said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm still sitting in this position, I will return to the original owner after walking around and returning."

He thought for a while, and added a few words: "Besides, this is something that your Lujia Village needs to keep for exhibitions, and it is registered with the county party committee and county government. Anyone who dares to mess with it will be ruined for life. "

It is true to say so, but Lu Jianping's incident made Lu Dong a little more careful: "Zhang Ju, you should pay more attention."

"No problem." Zhang Ju responded and got into the car.

Lu Dong waved his hand at the car window, watching several cars turn out of the village and enter the tourist ring road from the north.

"Dongzi, your uncle is just confused for a while." Aunt Jianping ran over: "Our surname is Lu, and we can't write two characters of Lu in one stroke. You beg for mercy, you can't go to jail..."

Lu Dong supported her: "Ma'am, you go back first."

Aunt Tie came from behind, and another aunt supported Aunt Jianping, and led her back home.

"Let's go quickly." Aunt Tie gave Lu Dong a wink.

This is not someone from outside, not just from Lujia Village, the relationship between the two sides is not too far away, and Lu Dong also knows that it will be more difficult to stay here, so he called Uncle Qi and went south.

Seventh Uncle smoked a cigarette and said, "This shit!"

Lu Dong was also in a panic, but when something happened, he had to deal with it, and he couldn't pretend it didn't happen.

As he was walking south, behind a row of houses in front, Lu Lanlan ran out leading Wangcai, followed by Nail.

Wangcai's mouth was covered with a long black rubber shoe, with the toe facing the ground, like a bucket on his mouth, with some ventilation holes.

Two ropes were hung from holes drilled on the rubber shoes, and they were tightly tied around Wangcai's neck, causing Wangcai to shake his head vigorously.

"What are you doing?" Lu Dong asked.

Lu Lanlan pointed to Wangcai: "It bit someone, opened its mouth indiscriminately, and stuck out its tongue to lick people, so I blocked its mouth."

Lu Jianren said: "It's a hot day, you will heat the dog to death like this. Why, Lan Lan, do you want to eat stewed dog meat?"

Lu Lanlan hurriedly pulled Wangcai back: "Uncle Qi, Wangcai just caught a thief for you, do you have the guts to eat it?"

Wangcai didn't know what was going on, so he hid behind Lu Lanlan in desperation, as if he wanted to stay away from Qishu.

"Okay." Lu Jianren waved his hand: "For the sake of its effort today, wait until you get fatter before eating!"

Lu Dong said: "Lan Lan, take it off quickly, or you will be suffocated in a while, and the dog relies on the tongue to dissipate heat."

Lu Lanlan led Wangcai back and walked back: "Okay, I'll go back and dismantle it. I'll find a shoe brush and brush its teeth. It bites people so disgustingly."

She turned around: "Nail, let's go! You will brush Wangcai's teeth later."

Nail looked at Lu Jianren anxiously: "Dad..."

Seventh Uncle also counted on Lu Lanlan to help with nail homework, and said: "Hurry up, don't ink! Listen to your sister Lan Lan, you can do whatever your sister Lan Lan tells you to do. If you don't obey, I will go back and hang you on the south wall!"

The two walked south to the village branch. The next morning, Lu Zhenlin, who was on a business trip to Mengcheng, came back and immediately called a meeting with the village cadres.
