Trafford’s Trading Club

Luo Qiu's hometown is not a place that can be reached directly by plane. In his early years, when he was still very young, he followed his parents back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He took the airport bus and then the town minibus.

But now the high-speed rail has been built here, but the minibuses between towns are still there.

We set off early in the morning, and after we actually got off the bus, it was already past four in the afternoon. Although buying it directly with the club can save you the trouble of traveling, Boss Luo still went there in the normal way.

The person who picked Luo Qiu up at the township bus station was his cousin. Because they had always been separated and rarely moved around, Luo Qiu had very little impression of this cousin. He remembered that he was born three years earlier than him, and his name was Luo Zheng.

My cousin's family also has an eldest daughter, I remember she must be about thirty-five years old.

"Oh, speaking of it, we haven't seen each other for several years! I remember the last time I saw you was three years... four years ago, right? You were not as tall as my shoulders at that time, but you are so big now Now. Are you going to college?"

Luo Zheng is a capable young man who has done some small wholesale business. The van that came to pick up Luo Qiu this time is the tool he usually uses to pull goods.

They are quite enthusiastic, perhaps because they are both young people.

"A lot has changed here." Luo Qiu looked at the road outside. Luo Zheng's speed was about the same as Ren Ziling's, and the wind that came in always had the smell of soil and fertilizer.

"The country's development has reached this point." Luo Zheng smiled, a smile that showed satisfaction with his current life.

Presumably he is also one of the beneficiaries of this country's development.

"By the way, do you want to eat something? I have some spicy strips, can you eat them?" Luo Zheng now showed his big yellow teeth and became more enthusiastic.

"I just got off the car and I don't want to eat right now." Luo Qiu shook his head.

Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Luo Qiu, are you motion sick? Why don't you take a break first? There is a canteen in front. I will get you a bottle of water. Just wait!"

With that said, Luo Zheng stopped the van and hurriedly ran into the canteen on the roadside. After a while, he brought back a box of mineral water.

Luo Qiu had to ask Luo Qiu to help open the door of the van.

"Wait a minute, there are three more boxes."

"Buy so much at once?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.

Luo Zheng said with a smile: "It's on sale. I bought more when I saw it was cheap. It's also convenient to leave it aside and give it to the workers to drink. Just save it if you can. Just wait, it will be done soon!"

"Let me help you."

"No, no, it's a trivial matter." Luo Zheng was still smiling, a bit silly, and his bent eyes were like the eyes of a guppy looking up in a clear river, "Students are not used to doing this kind of rough work. of."

"Not that weak." Luo Qiu just smiled.

But you are still polite... No matter it is Luo Zheng or he, you are still polite. This is probably how it feels when relatives from far away come back. ?

But Boss Luo really likes Luo Zheng's guppy-like eyes.

After setting off again, Luo Zheng began to chat about some daily topics, and Luo Qiu had some general impressions of the people and affairs in his hometown.

"Isn't this the way to the hospital?" Luo Qiu looked at the highway signs on the road and asked curiously.

Luo Zheng sighed and said: "The old man is no longer hospitalized. He said it would cost money and went home after arguing. In fact, it is not that difficult. After the policy came down, public medical care has been available for a long time. But she didn't believe anything she said. I was noisy, but I couldn’t help it, so I came back...wait a minute, I’ll answer the phone.”

Luo Qiu nodded.

"...Brother-in-law, I'll pick up someone, this...Okay, wait, I'll go around." After Luo Zheng turned off the phone, he looked at Luo Qiu and said, "Brother, let me go off the road."

"Who is the brother-in-law you just mentioned?" Luo Qiu suddenly asked.

"It's my sister's husband. Oh, it's normal that you don't remember it, because we were divorced a long time ago..." Luo Zheng said casually: "... By the way, if you are tired, why don't you just take a nap? There are pillows in the back seat. , very comfortable!”

"Okay, I'll take a rest."

…

Luo Qiu closed his eyes in the back seat. Probably not long after, Luo Zheng's car stopped on the side of the road. Luo Zheng glanced at Luo Qiu from the rearview mirror without opening his eyes, then unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

There is a man in his thirties who has been waiting here for a long time on the roadside, carrying a lot of things in his hands.

"Luo Zheng!" The man shouted when he saw Luo Zheng get out of the car.

Luo Zheng walked over quickly, and then pulled the man away. The man glanced at the van thoughtfully and asked, "Is there anyone in the van?"

"There is a guest who is asleep. It's hard to wake him up." Luo Zheng nodded, "I said, why don't you come over here to buy more things? I know your situation, so don't waste the money and keep some for yourself. .”

"It's okay, just some nutrition for the old man. Just accept it if you show some kindness." The man tried hard, "Zhengzi, just say it was given by your friend."

"Hey, brother-in-law, I really don't want it anymore. You've taken so much these past few days, you can't finish it."

"Things...I just left these things behind. I have to start work, so let's go first!" The man quickly put the things on the road and ran away one by one.

"Sister..." Luo Zheng watched the man walk away, finally shook his head, then looked at the pile of things on the ground, and had no choice but to carry him into the car.

But when he opened the car door, he saw that Luo Qiu had already woken up. Luo Zheng was stunned, smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and stuffed the things into the back seat.

On the way home, Luo Zhengcai talked about this man.

The man's name is Wei Dazhe. He is a troublemaker. He didn't learn to do well when he was young. He got together with a group of people and lived in confusion.

"How should I put it? I don't know how my sister fell in love with Dazhe in the first place." Luo Zheng shook his head, "When we were together, there was a big fuss at home. I originally thought that after we got married, we would calm down. Cultivate your character, you will end up with troublesome things again and again."

"Upset?"

"Well..." Luo Zheng shook his head, "Let me tell you straight, my ex-brother-in-law is a frequent visitor to prison. Over the years, he has been in prison five times, and the prison is It feels like home. No, I just came out the year before last year. I recently heard that I had committed another crime and was arrested and imprisoned for several days. Do you understand now? "

Boss Luo nodded.

Luo Zheng was still driving, "Actually, it's better to leave early, otherwise my sister will probably have to live a hard life."

"Cousin, is she now?"

"Oh, I got remarried." Luo Zheng chuckled and said, "My current husband is a junior high school teacher and he is very nice. Oh, by the way, you should be able to see me in the next few days, and I will introduce him to you then."

"Let's go back and see grandma first." Luo Qiu said softly, "When I have time later, I have to go back to the old house to clean up and stay here for the next few days."

"How many years has it been since that house was inhabited?" Luo Zheng shook his head and said, "How long do you have to clean it up? Just stay at my place tonight! Your brother and I built a new house a few years ago, and you can live there The place."

Luo Qiu said: "I can't come back even once and ignore my old house."

"You're right. That's fine, don't force it."

Luo Zheng was still smiling, "When I go home, the old man will definitely be happy when he sees you. You don't know, she has been nagging about the past more and more recently, talking about her childhood..."

…

…

A lot of capital began to pour into this township. The excessive development speed was not consistent with the endurance of the township itself. However, it is undeniable that these capitals have brought many business opportunities to this township, and naturally there are more. Many jobs.

For example, there is obviously a lot of demand for construction workers.

Wei Dazhe climbed over the wall, tied his coat on his body, put on his safety hat, and hurriedly picked up two buckets of water.

"Wei Dazhe!"

Someone suddenly yelled behind Wei Dazhe. It was one of the foremans of this construction site project.

"Foreman, what's the matter?" Wei Dazhe turned around and put down the bucket in his hand.

The foreman said angrily: "Wei Dazhe, do you still want to work? Where did you die just now?"

Wei Dazhe said: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I went to relieve myself."

The foreman sneered and said: "Convenient? I think you are lazy, right? Wei Dazhe, someone just saw you sneaking out! I also saw you climbing over the wall just now, how dare you tell me lies? You guy, You’ve always been this dishonest, haven’t you? You’re always telling lies, right?”

Wei Dazhe panicked, "Foreman, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of an emergency, really! I promise I won't do it next time."

The foreman shook his head and pointed his fingers, "Wei Dazhe, let me tell you, I know what you are. If it weren't for the shortage of people here, the labor and management would not hire you as a casual worker to move the bricks! Just listen to me and stay safe. , don’t do anything sneaky, otherwise no one will invite you to the nearby construction site! If you are lazy today, you will be deducted 80!”

"Foreman, I, I just went out for a while..."

"Do you still want to do it here?"

"Yes, yes...foreman." Wei Dazhe nodded, "I know, it won't happen next time, it won't happen again."

"Work!" the foreman shouted.

Wei Dazhe silently picked up the bucket and turned to leave.

There was a lot of noise, clanking, and dust all around.
