The Era of Hard Work

People came to say hello, even if they couldn't get their names for a while, Lu Dong could be sure that they were from Lu's Village. When the car stopped by the side of the road, there happened to be street lights and lanterns overhead, and the main street was brightly lit.

Lu Dong sized it up a bit, somewhat surprised.

This man has slender legs and arms, and he wears thick clothes in winter, making people feel that his hands and feet are as thin as sticks. It is comparable to Li Wenyue when he was at his worst.

Maybe it was too thin, and the face was sunken in, causing the eye sockets to sink, and the person was a bit out of shape.

Therefore, Lu Dong looked familiar, but couldn't call out the name for a while.

I don't know if the other party is drinking and smoking, and there is a strange smell on his body.

"Don't you recognize me?" The man gestured and said, "It's me! Lu Xing! Lu Xing of Lu Jianning's family! Do you remember?"

As he gestured, his hand stretched out, and the joints were extremely obvious.

Lu Dong reacted: "Brother Xing! When did you come back?"

When I heard the name, I remembered it, and I still had some impressions. This person belonged to Lu Chun, but he ran away after graduating from junior high school. After that, Lu Dong has never seen him again. How about ten years?

It is said that he was working in the south, and he came back occasionally at the beginning. Lu Dong didn’t meet him, but the number of times he came back seems to be less. Anyway, few people in the village mentioned it again. If he hadn’t met today, he would have forgotten that he had the number Lu Xing. people.

I haven't seen him for too many years, and this person is out of shape again.

Lu Xing asked: "It's late at night, why are you going?"

Lu Dong pointed to the car: "I'm not taking my wife home." He asked curiously, "Brother Xing, why are you so thin?"

"In the past two years in the south, I have not been very happy. I married a daughter-in-law, and I have a lot of troubles. I won't mention it, I won't mention it." Lu Xing kept waving his hands in front of him, as if he wanted to slap all the bad things away: " Life is not going well, people are a little depressed, can't eat, so they are so thin."

Lu Dong said politely: "Come back this time, take care of yourself at home."

Lu Xing followed his words and said, "I need to be raised." He suddenly asked, "I heard that Lu Chun changed his career to become a policeman, and now he's the director of the police station?"

Lu Dong said, "Yes, it's in the university town, with thirty police officers and seventy to eighty joint defenses, almost keeping up with a small sub-bureau."

Lu Xing asked again: "Do you come back often?"

Lu Dong was a little strange when he heard his question, and remembered that the two of them were classmates, and said: "This kind of work is as busy as a spinning top. How can I come back often when I have time? Don't look at the distance so close, I can do it in a month." It’s good to come back two or three times, and most of the time it’s better to have a meal and leave.”

"It's really busy." Lu Xing said with a smile: "I still think about when he will come back, so I can have dinner with him."

He pointed to the car: "Don't make your wife wait too long, we'll take it when we're free."

Lu Dong said, "Okay, Brother Xing, slow down."

Watching Lu Xing get on the curb and walk crookedly into the square in front of the village, Lu Dong got into the car and drove towards the University City.

"What's your smell?" Song Na asked.

Lu Dong raised his hand and smelled it, and said, "I just met a villager who went out to work many years ago, maybe I got some from him, why is the smell so weird?"

Song Na lowered the car window, put on a down jacket and hat: "Blow some air."

Lu Dong also lowered the windows a little, and the cold wind came in, much better.

When he came to Xuefu Wenyuan, he sent Song Na off, put down his things, and said a few words to Song's parents and Song's mother. It was getting late, and Lu Dong planned to go back.

There are too many cars in the community, and it is troublesome to turn around, so I just go through the south gate.

When he was approaching Building No. 3, he happened to see Lu Chun getting off a Santana, and Lu Dong stopped to say hello.

"Brother, just got off work?"

"Having a meeting to study, just came back."

Seeing that Lu Dong was coming from the north, Lu Chun asked, "Send Xiao Song back?"

Lu Dong responded, remembering the person he had just met, and said: "When I left the village just now, I saw Lu Xing who was with you, the eldest son of Uncle Jianning, who may have suffered a lot these years. They're so skinny they're almost out of shape."

"Lu Xing?" Lu Chun was quite strange: "I haven't seen him for ten years, and I almost forgot what he looks like."

Lu Dong said, "Go back to rest early, I'm going back to the village."

After the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, Lu's catering has holidays one after another, and Lu Dong has stopped going to the company since the twenty-sixth, and stays in the village to help Uncle Qi, and join in the fun when he has nothing to do.

On the 27th, Ma Yuanshan, Yu Zhanlong and others came to visit Hu Chunlan and Lu Dongniang together.

Taking a moment, Yu Zhanlong called Lu Dong aside and asked, "Du Dahai's son, Du Xiaobing, I remember he is the vice president of your company. Do you have a good relationship with him?"

Lu Dong roughly understood why, and said, "Du Xiaobing has nothing to say about his personality or temper. When I was still setting up a street stall, I became a close friend with him."

Yu Zhanlong didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, I understand."

Lu Dong also didn't say much about Lao Du's character. Although his family background was not as good as Uncle Yu's, he was definitely considered first-class in the Quannan business district.

This time, as usual, I first chatted with Lu Dong and Hu Chunlan for a while, and then visited Lujia Village. This time I focused on the old village.

The slightly dilapidated old village in the past has become a very prosperous folk tourist area with people coming and going.

People didn't stay for too long, especially Ma Yuanshan is different now.

I didn't even eat lunch, so I was about to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, Ma Yuanshan called out Lu Dong alone and said a few words.

"The construction is good, and it looks like a national civilized village." Ma Yuanshan also watched Lujia Village develop step by step: "Don't be complacent with some achievements, you are far behind Huaxi Village and the others."

Lu Dong said softly: "A year ago there was a meeting in the village, the main purpose was to unify ideas and continue to develop together. This momentum of development cannot be interrupted. If it is interrupted, it will not continue."

Ma Yuanshan nodded lightly: "That's right, keep your head clear at all times." His voice changed: "I'll tell you something, just know it in your own mind, and don't mention it to anyone for now."

"Okay." Lu Dong replied.

Ma Yuanshan's voice was also much softer, and he pointed up with his hand: "After the first month, we will start a national inspection. Taidong is an important stop, and we must come to Quannan."

Hearing this, Lu Dong immediately understood the meaning, and couldn't help but thump in his heart.

Ma Yuanshan didn't even look at Lu Dong: "The villages must be inspected, and there are not many representative villages in Quannan."

Lu Dong whispered, "Uncle Ma, I understand."

Ma Yuanshan warned again: "Don't think too much, just do what you should do in normal work."

"Okay." Lu Dong seemed very calm.

It wasn't until after seeing off these uncles and returning home alone that Lu Dong couldn't help clenching his fists. It would be great if he really came to Lu's Village for inspection!

It's not that I haven't thought about the past, but it always feels too far away, too far away.

This kind of thing must be hoped for the best, let's talk about whether it will come or not.

Although Lu Dong was excited, he remembered Ma Yuanshan's advice and never mentioned it to anyone.

If you really want to come, you will definitely notify in advance and leave enough time for preparations.

As for the rest, don't think about it for the time being.

Lu Dong found out his mobile phone, and while the government departments were not on holiday, he made several calls one after another to find out about the last assessment and inspection.

The investigation and evaluation of the civilized villages across the country is still in progress. Multiple working groups have to go to many provinces, and it is not impossible to produce results for a while.

The selection results may not be officially announced until around March.

The next day, Lu Dong went to the county twice more, and also went to find Yang Liewen. 2003 may be a year of great changes in the administrative structure of Qingzhao and Quannan.

There is no doubt that these changes will inevitably affect the enterprise.

Lu Dong also wanted to get more information in advance and make some preparations early to avoid being caught off guard.

On Qingzhao's side, after the big leader is promoted to the urban area, it will enter a new era, but the successor is likely to be the No. 1 of the county government, at least it can ensure the continuity of the cultural tourism plan, and Lujia Village will not be affected too much. Influence.

The administrative division of the university city may be approved in the past few months, and it will be merged with some parts of the eastern part of Quannan to become a high-tech industrial city.

Whether Yang Liewen can go to this popular position is still unknown.

Lu's Catering is the largest and most profitable local enterprise in the university town. These factors must be considered in advance.

Furthermore, once the high-tech industrial district is established, the police station in the university town will inevitably be upgraded, and it is very likely that it will be designated as a branch of Quannan.

Lu Chun has been in this position for three years. If he can't get up, according to the internal practice of the public security system, some transfers may be made.

Of course, the best result is to be able to take a step forward, at least to compete for the top-ranked deputy director of the sub-bureau.

Heading into the New Year, when the two brothers were eating together, they talked about these things. It's not that Lu Chun has no advantages, and there are people behind him.

In short, changes in all aspects may have various impacts on Lu Dong and Lujia Village.

Neither people nor enterprises in this society exist in isolation.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Ya and Liu Jie specially came to Lu's Village from Quannan to pay New Year's greetings in advance.

They are all married, and their home is in Quannan, but their husband's family is not from Quannan, and they all have to go to other places for the New Year, so they come here in advance.

Anju real estate agency company has developed rapidly. During the year, its business has expanded to 15 prefecture-level cities in Quannan, with more than 150 agency stores. It is currently the largest real estate agency company in Taidong.

Tianxiang Real Estate, which was jointly invested and established by Lu Dong, Mu Kun, Wei Yong and Wang Gang, developed the Tianxiang-Taifengyuan Community on the former Taifengyuan land this year. Currently, many buildings are undergoing pre-sale review. The pre-sale certificate will be available in February.

Tianxiang Real Estate Company has signed an agreement with the housing agency, and the housing agency is responsible for the underwriting.

As long as the sales of Tianxiang-Taifeng Garden are good, Anju can not only engage in the intermediary business of second-hand houses, but also prove that it has the ability to promote and sell new houses, which will broaden its future development path.

This industry is doing well, and it is also profitable.

In addition, Lu Dong found someone to find out the news about Shi Xingyu that Uncle Qi said, and knew that Shi Xingyu was from Lao Diao’s Village. According to the county or university town.

Soon I asked about Shi Xingyu's home, but Shi Xingyu himself was not at home, so I had to wait for him to come back to contact me.
