The Era of Hard Work

On the weekend, the sun was very sunny and the wind was not strong. The poplars and willows had just sprouted new buds and had not yet bloomed. It was the rare comfortable weather in Quannan in a year.

Last night, she had a meeting with Lu Dong, Ma Ming, Du Xiaobing and Yu Jing. Song Na followed Lu Dong to Lu's village to visit her husband's house in the middle of the morning.

In front of the house, Lu Dong parked the car. As soon as Song Na got off, she saw Uncle Qi coming from the north-south road with two rabbits in his hand.

"Seventh Uncle." Song Na greeted quickly.

Lu Jianren smiled cheerfully: "Song Na is here, come over for lunch, the rabbit I just caught, and the pheasant in the refrigerator."

Song Na asked Lu Dong to open the trunk and took out a bag of walnuts.

Lu Jianren didn't want it, Song Na said, "The one who gave the nails, he's in junior high school, and his studies are tighter than before. It's good to eat more walnuts."

Hearing what she said, Lu Jianren accepted it, and said again: "Both of you, call your mother and come over to have lunch together at noon. Don't let me call you over again."

Seventh Aunt also came out when she heard the commotion outside. When she saw Song Na and Lu Dong, she asked her to have lunch at noon.

Not an outsider, Lu Dong agreed immediately.

Seeing Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven returning home, Song Na took things out of the trunk and said to Lu Dong, "As long as you speak quickly, you will answer what you say."

Lu Dong said carelessly, "Go to Uncle Qi's house, and he's not an outsider." He took out a case of wine from the trunk: "Wei Guangrong got it, and said it's for internal use, but it can't be found outside, and I'll give it to Qi Shu later." Uncle take it over."

The two entered the house. Hu Chunlan didn't go to work today, so she waited at home and asked Song Na to talk.

Lu Dong was very self-conscious. He went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea. Seeing that the couple were chatting happily, he didn't bother them, and went out with the wine to Uncle Qi next door.

The rabbit was hanging on the shelf in the vegetable field in the yard. Seventh Uncle was looking for something in the storage room. When he saw Lu Dong bringing the box over, he didn't show any courtesy to him, saying, "What's so good? I won't take anything that isn't good! "

Lu Dong said: "Wei Guangrong got it from Xichuan, we don't usually find it here."

Lu Jianren pointed casually: "Just put it here. You can play it yourself. Your seventh aunt forgot to throw the skinning knife. Find it for a while and let us practice the skinning skill."

Lu Dong came out of the storage room and said, "Uncle Qi, you'd better come by yourself, I haven't touched this place for many years, I've already forgotten about it."

Nail came out of the house, holding a convenience bag in one hand and a plastic bottle in the other.

"Brother Dong." Nail greeted.

Through the convenience bag, Lu Dong could see that it was filled with firecrackers, like the earth was red, and asked, "What is this for?"

"Get some medicine out." Nail squatted on the ground, took out the firecracker and started peeling, and poured the medicine into a plastic bottle after peeling.

Boys, it's normal to make firecrackers and so on. Lu Dong did a lot of things when he was a child. This thing is very useful in foreign muskets. The first two chains of the foreign musket are specially riveted. Add firecracker powder, the power of the explosion can push the matchstick far away.

Nail moved very quickly, setting off seven or eight firecrackers in a short while.

Lu Dong was curious and worried about Nail's messing around, so he asked, "Are you playing with foreign guns, or do you want to go out to fry fish?"

Nail chuckled: "Brother Dong, don't tell others."

"Tell me." Lu Dong nodded.

Nail looked at his father who was still looking for things in the storage room, and said in a low voice, "I don't play with foreign guns, and I don't fry fish. I plan to find a latrine to fry!"

Hearing this, Lu Dong first laughed, then pointed at him: "Be careful your father beats you!"

As the nail man grew up, he had more and more evil ideas: "Don't worry, it's not about blowing up our place. The toilets in the new village are all flush toilets. If you throw them down and blow up the sewer, the third grandpa won't let my dad hang me up. I didn't So silly."

Lu Dong stopped laughing and asked, "Where are you going to blow up?"

Nail whispered, "Blow up the school..."

"Can we be a good student?" Lu Dong was helpless, why are we so virtuous? Warning: "Don't mess around, be careful to get expelled from the school."

Nail said: "Brother Dong, I don't mess around. There is a guy in the next class who doesn't deal with me. He is not convinced. His team is responsible for cleaning a boys' toilet. You know the toilets in Ningxiu Center. I secretly clean the toilets in Dakeng. Blow up all the shit and make them look good!"

Lu Dong still said: "You boy, take it easy, don't cause trouble for your father outside."

Nail's face was full of grievance in an instant: "How dare I cause trouble, Brother Zhaodong, you were far behind in the past, Ning Xiuzhong learned this, and your glorious deeds are spread..."

What he said made Lu Dong feel embarrassed to teach Naizi a lesson, so he could only wave his hand: "Don't talk about the past."

At this moment, Uncle Seven found the skinning knife, came out from the storage room, and shouted at Lu Dong, "Come here, try your hand."

Lu Dong shook his head: "You'd better do it yourself, I've long been unfamiliar with this skill."

Uncle Qi didn't force it, and shouted at Nail, "Come here, boy, and I'll teach you how to skin a rabbit!"

Seventh Aunt came out of the house at this time and said, "Don't teach me something good!"

Uncle Qi plausibly said: "What's good without teaching? Peeling is a craft! If you learn it well, you will still be able to earn a living in the future."

Seventh Aunt stopped and looked at Lu Jianren: "My son is going to be admitted to university!"

"College students can't skin rabbits?" Uncle Qi felt reasonable: "College students are not so delicate! The new college students in our village's food factory just go in and cut off the pig's head!"

The two said one sentence after another, neither letting the other.

Lu Dong winked at Nail, and the two brothers went out together.

Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt are arguing now, it's not like they used to be, they just move their mouths, unlike before, one holding a harpoon and the other holding a shovel, which can scare people who don't know them to death.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Lu Dong and Nail joined Song Na, and then returned to Uncle Qi's house.

Today, Uncle Qi was cooking in person, and he immediately grabbed Lu Dong to help him. The two of you used to make a lot of these things, and they were very familiar with how to make them.

Song Na smelled the smell of stewed rabbit, came over to check the situation, and asked, "Uncle Qi, didn't the rabbit just be put in the field? You just brought it here to eat, and Mr. Li won't get angry with you?"

Lu Jianren knew that she was talking about Li Yanyan, and said: "This was not circled by our village. I caught Ma Laosan from the other side of the river."

He turned on the fire to collect the soup: "Rabbit guns are not allowed now. There are many fun things. The young people in the countryside are not interested in catching rabbits. Now there are more rabbits in the field than four or five years ago. The area around us is also It's me who controls it, if I don't catch it often, the grain production will have to be greatly reduced!"

Lu Dong couldn't listen to Uncle Seven's bragging, and said, "Okay, let the county give you a certificate of excellence in catching rabbits another day."

Uncle Qi's craftsmanship is very good, especially when dealing with these things.

While eating at noon, they inevitably asked about Lu Dong and Song Na's marriage, and urged them to get the certificate.

They are all very familiar people, Song Na didn't hesitate, and said openly: "Wait a minute, I picked a special date."

Lu Jianren said: "After receiving the certificate, remember to ask me to eat and celebrate."

Lu Dong replied: "No problem, Seventh Uncle, just tell me what you want to eat."

Seventh Aunt said with emotion at this time: "In a blink of an eye, Dongzi is so old, it's time to get married." She looked at Hu Chunlan: "Sister-in-law, time flies, we will be old in a blink of an eye."

"Who said it wasn't." Hu Chunlan put down her chopsticks: "In the blink of an eye, they all grew up."

This topic was a bit sad, so Lu Dong shifted his attention: "Uncle Ba called me last night. The show will be broadcast live tonight. The village will pull the curtain on the big stage in the afternoon. Don't forget to watch it."

"Yes! Yes! You have to watch it!" Seventh Aunt echoed: "This is a great honor for our village. The third grandpa has done one, and people all over the country can see it."

After lunch, I helped Seventh Aunt pack up and went home to rest for a while. In the middle of the afternoon, Lu Dong and Song Na went to the big stage of Lujia Village in the old village.

Li Hongxing and Lu Tao are pulling the curtain on the big stage with people.

This year, Lujia Village has newly introduced a set of projection equipment, which can receive TV signals and put them on the screen, and also has an external speaker, which is perfect for group watching programs.

Not only the people in the village, but also open to people who come from outside at night.

This is not only a personal honor, but also a moment of glory for Lu Family Village!

There is no need for Lu Dong to worry about the big stage. After watching it for a while, Lu Dong and Song Na went shopping in the food street and the old street. We simply ate snacks in the food street for dinner.

Song Na's Warm Business has also opened a store here, but it is on the old market street, next to Lu Zhenjia's handicraft casting workshop.

Near eight o'clock, Lu Dong and Song Na came to the big stage. There were specially reserved seats here, and they sat next to Li Wenyue and Lu Jianren.

At a little past eight o'clock, the top ten people who moved China in 2002, sponsored by a set, were officially announced!

This year is the first one, although it was broadcast in 2003, but the selection is the characters of the previous year.

It didn't take long for the people in Lu's Village to wait, and Lu Zhenlin among the top ten people was moved. As an advanced model of rural work and rural party members, he was the second to appear on the TV program.

Before Lu Zhenlin appeared on stage to present the award, there was a commentary from a character.

"He is over sixty years old, but he has in his heart the folks who are still living in poverty. He could have retired honorably, but he still wants all the folks to get rid of poverty and backwardness. He has achieved a goal that many generations have failed to achieve. In his dream, he used the persistence and courage of Yugong Yishan to lead the whole village to start a factory and start a business. He led the villagers on the road to common prosperity in the midst of hardships and hardships, and opened a door of hope in people's hearts. He ended A history of poverty and a new life!"

As Lu Zhenlin stepped onto the stage, there was a voice-over introduction: "He is Comrade Lu Zhenlin, the village branch secretary of Lujia Village, Ningxiu Town, Qingzhao County, Quannan City, Taidong Province, who is known as the Party Secretary of the New Era!"

Then, there is Lu Zhenlin's reason for selection: it is really a great blessing for our party to have such a grassroots branch secretary. Whether the status of the ruling party will never change depends on whether there are more or fewer such grassroots cadres.

Seeing Lu Zhenlin with thick eyebrows like swords, receiving the trophy, the people of Lujia Village stood up and applauded one by one, proud and proud of their leader!
