   Chapter 128 Brighter than Snowflakes (Subscribe)

On Saturday, it was cloudy, the weather was very cold, the north wind was blowing non-stop, and people who were cold didn't want to stretch their hands out, but there were many people in the Mala Tang stalls, from 9 am to 2 o'clock in the morning, the least sold With more than 5,000 strings, Lu Dong was so busy that his hands were almost steaming, and no one could feel the cold.

   Just brought in the goods from the newly bought house, Song Na came from the south carrying two heavy black bags, and put the pockets into the drag bucket as usual.

  Lu Dong has already cleaned up the hygiene, opened the air inlet of the stove, and waved to her: "Come over and warm up."

  Song Na is wearing a pointed wool hat, a black down jacket and dark blue sweatpants, a pair of black sneakers, thick gloves on her hands, and a large mask on her face.

   can be said to be armed to the teeth.

   Came to Lu Dong's side, took off the big mask, revealing a face that turned completely pale wheat, and looked at Lu Dong: "Aren't you cold?"

   In order to facilitate his work, Lu Dong wore a slightly worn black padded jacket with a pullover, which seemed a little thin at first glance.

   "It's quite thick." Lu Dong stretched out his arm: "You touch it."

Song Na looked at Lu Dong's red hands, as if she didn't feel relieved, she pinched the sleeves of his padded jacket, took out a pair of rubber gloves from her pocket, and stuffed them into Lu Dong: "Wearing them won't affect your work, touch water and vegetables. How much better."

   Lu Dong is welcome, he took it apart and tried it.

  Song Na took out another pair of clothes from another pocket, turned around and shouted, "Weiguo!"

  Qiao Weiguo wore a bald head in the cold weather and was busy ordering money. When he saw Song Na, he happily greeted: "Black Egg, you are here!"

   "Next!" Song Na threw the gloves.

  Qiao Weiguo reached out to catch it: "Thank you."

  Song Na took a maza, sat in front of the stove, took off his gloves to warm his hands, looked at his red hands, and said, "You have to pay attention, if your hands are frozen for a year, they will freeze every year."

   Lu Dong nodded: "I know, I usually pay attention."

  Song Na grabbed his wrist and took a closer look, only to find that it was full of tiny holes, one after another, like opening countless pairs of small eyes.

   But she didn't say anything pretentious. She came from a very ordinary family in the countryside. She worked a lot in winter. In this open-air market, the north wind was blowing, and it was boiled all day long.

   "It's alright." Lu Dong smiled: "When the spring is warm next year, I will raise it."

   He pointed at Song Na's pale wheat-colored face: "You have brought it back and turned into a beautiful female college student."

  Song Na's long appearance is beautiful, her skin is white, and her appearance has skyrocketed.

  Lu Dong looked at Song Na's down jacket and said, "I wanted to remind you some time ago that it's cold to buy some clothes, girls, be kind to yourself."

Song Na laughed: "Look at what you said, you are so old-fashioned, as if you are much older than me." She paused for a while, and said in detail: "There are a lot of clothes sold in the western market, and they are also cheap. I bought them when it was cold. So, by the way, I bought some new clothes for my parents, it's more difficult to live in the mountains in winter."

   Lu Dong asked again, "How is your business?"

   "It didn't work out right from the beginning, but I made a lot of money." Song Na said simply: "From the end of the military training to this point, I will have enough tuition and living expenses for next year."

   She thought for a while, and then said, "I also bought some thermal supplies this time, which should be sold."

   Lu Dong thought of something: "Auntie dormitory didn't stop you?"

  Song Na smiled: "As you said, I give people a little gift every time I go, it's very useful."

  The two of them understood and laughed around the stove.

  Song Na turned to look at Qiao Weiguo and asked, "Auntie didn't come?"

"It's too cold, so I didn't let her come, and the daily necessities aren't sold very well." Lu Dong didn't need to hide Song Na: "This business is almost over, and when I get rid of the remaining goods, I won't sell daily necessities in the future. already."

  Song Na glanced at the north: "There are too many selling daily necessities." She felt warm and asked, "What work do we have to do?"

   Lu Dong was not polite to her, found chopped kohlrabi, soaked fungus and bamboo sticks, and said, "Put the vegetables."

  The north wind was blowing coldly. Lu Dong looked for something good and said, "Hei Dan, sit on the south side and lower your head a little."

  Song Na was thin, so he sat as Lu Dong said. Lu Dong sat on the north side of the table. He was already strong. After sitting up straight, he blocked almost all the wind coming from the north.

   The sliced ​​vegetables were cold in her hands, but Song Na's heart was warm.

   Qiao Weiguo was about to come over to help when a middle-aged man with big ears entered the market and said to Qiao Weiguo, "Two braised pork biscuits and ten biscuits."

   He put eight dollars into the money box.

   Lu Dong turned his head and looked over. This week, a middle-aged man came here for the third time to buy biscuits.

  Song Na also looked over there, because she knew that Lu Dong saw through many so-called old rivers and lakes.

  The middle-aged man went straight out of the market after buying the biscuits.

   Lu Dong looked back and said, "The old couple who pulled the erhu should be his parents. Among the children begging, two of them are his children."

   Song Na looked at the man, not to mention that he was well-dressed, but also neatly dressed, and said, "It really has everyone."

   The two of them didn't talk a lot. They were chatting while cooking, and their fingers were cold, so they took a break.

  Because on the weekends, people came to buy Mala Tang from time to time. Lu Dong's stove never stopped. When no one was there, he would take some boiled spicy skewers and eat them with Song Na.

  Song Na ate the skewered fish tofu and said, "The sauce you and your aunt made is really delicious after brushing it on. You can make a fortune selling sauce in the future."

   Lu Dong said: "It's mainly because my mother is good at craftsmanship, I belong to the dipped."

   Once able to get a down payment for a house, in fact, it was also some food that Hu Chunlan improved.

   Looking back, Lu Dong felt that he was unbelievable when he was young.

   Two of the normal people only lasted for a few years, but he was good in the past, and it lasted for more than ten years.

   When Song Na finished eating the skewers and wiped her mouth, she remembered something: "I heard someone say that another classmate received a call from Tian Dabang, encouraging people to go to the south to make a lot of money."

  Thinking of Tian Chuanjie, Lu Dong had no choice but to sigh, and asked, "Is there no one going?"

  Song Na shook her head gently: "No, Wen Yue has spread information to many classmates, and classmates have spread the information widely."

   Lu Dong said casually: "Once you go to MLM, it's as deep as the sea, and it's as hard as the sky to think about it again."

   There were more and more customers coming from behind, and Lu Dong and Song Na quickly got busy, too busy to say a word.

   It was getting dark and the lights on the square turned on. I don't know when, sporadic snowflakes began to fall in the sky. Lv Dong and Qiao Weiguo put up two large sun umbrellas that had been prepared and covered the booths.

   The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and finally it turned into a vast expanse of white. There were fewer and fewer people at the booth. By half past six, all the people at Lu Dong's booth were gone.

   Lu Dong rushed to the opposite side and shouted: "Weiguo! Clean up, we will also withdraw!"

   Jiao Shougui and Jiao Sanhei have already cleaned up the stall, one helped Qiao Weiguo collect the braised pork stall, and the other came to help Lu Dong and Song Na.

  Sir Xue was few and there were many construction sites, so Lu Dong was worried, and specifically warned: "Black Egg, I'll take you back later."

  Song Na was not in a hurry: "We'll close the stall first and then talk about it."

   Dumped out the garbage, cleaned up the hygiene, put the table, chairs and benches in the car bucket, Lu Dong rode on the car, put on his helmet and prepared to go to Wenyuan, a school.

  Song Na got on the back seat: "I'll unload the car for you."

  The snow was heavy, and a layer fell on his head at this moment. Lu Dong didn’t talk nonsense. He hurried to Wenyuan, a school on fire, and went around from the sales area.

  Song Na heard what Lu Dong said and asked, "This is your elder brother's house?"

   "No." Lu Dong opened the door and came back to carry things: "I just bought it two days ago!"

  Song Na came over to move together. The two entered the yard and put things in the storage room. Lu Dong shook his head to shake off the snow, and patted Song Na's hat. Snow fell on it.

   Lu Dong continued to move, Song Na followed from behind.

   He looked back, the black egg was not wearing a big mask, and his face was red from the cold, and said, "You have the right money, just buy a house here! Make sure you don't lose money!"

  Song Na smiled and said, "I have to work harder!"

   After unloading the car, Qiao Weiguo pulled another car over, removed the body of the car and dragged it into the yard.

   Hu Chunlan didn't come, so he gave Qiao Weiguo the newly bought second-hand Jialing motorcycle.

When the three people returned to the market, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Lu Dong first asked Jiao Shougui and Jiao Sanhei to go home quickly, and then sent Qiao Weiguo away, grabbed the rest of the things, and let Song Na get in the car and take her back to school.

  The market is about to run out of people, and there are few students on the road, so Lu Dong is worried.

  Song Na sat in the back seat, grabbed Lu Dongjun's coat, and tapped his helmet: "Okay!"

   Lu Dong turned on Wenhua Road and walked north. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground. The heavy snow blocked the view and the snow was easy to slip. His riding speed was not fast.

   The market is very close to the Sports Academy, and the car stops at the door in just two or three minutes.

  Song Na got out of the car, went to the car body to pick up her bag, and asked, "Are you coming tomorrow?"

  Lu Dong looked up at the sky: "If the snow doesn't cause disaster, come!"

  Song Na said: "I'm fine on Sunday, I'll help you..."

   Hearing Sunday, Lu Dong remembered something he almost forgot: "Tomorrow, Sister Juan and Qian Rui's wedding, Sister Juan asked me if you would go."

  Song Na was not familiar with Zhao Juanjuan, and said, "I won't go, the wedding banquet is at noon, you go, I will help you see the booth."

   Lu Dong waved his hand: "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

  Song Na picked up two bags and said, "The weather is not good, go back slowly."

  Lu Dong nodded slightly and said to her, "Go back quickly, I'll see you enter the school gate."

   "Okay." Song Na smiled brighter than Snowflake: "See you tomorrow."

  Song Na walked towards the school gate, leaving two long rows of footprints.

   It was not until Song Na entered the school gate that Lu Dong started his motorcycle and left.

   The roads are covered with snow, and some roads are frozen with icy lumps. Lu Dong is cautious, and his speed is not much faster than that of a bicycle.

   He went downhill through the high-speed bridge hole in the middle. He braked a little and got off, and the motorcycle began to slide. Fortunately, it was only lightly braked, and the car did not lose control.

   Lu Dong looked at the high-speed bridge hole, and I don’t know how many people have car accidents in the bridge hole every year.

  So, the snow stopped the next day. When walking from here, Lu Dong was careful and careful. On the road where the weather was cold and freezing, the snow, especially the compacted snow, was like a freezing trap.

  To the university town, Lv Dong saw at least seven or eight people on foot or on bicycles falling.

   There was a man riding a Mustang 100 motorcycle, because he braked to avoid the person who fell, and he fell straight.

  Fortunately, the speed of the car was very slow, and people were fine.
