Chapter 134 No money and no confidence (Silver League Plus 3)

  The New Year is less than ten days away. The weather is colder day by day, the snow is thawed and frozen, and there is a long string of ice skates hanging under the eaves, long and sharp transparent ice picks, which are very attractive.

  The weather was too cold, and few people came out to have breakfast in the morning in the university town. After the temperature dropped again, Lu Dong simply stopped making breakfast and went to the university town market at 10:30.

  Originally, only braised pork biscuits were sold for breakfast.

  Lu Dong got up early that day, had breakfast, and went out of the old house. He saw ice skates nearly a foot long on the eaves facing the street. He went back and took out long bamboo poles and knocked them next to each other.

   This thing thawed and fell and hit people on the head, it's not a joke.

   Knocked down seven or eight. Lu Lanlan came over from the north on a bicycle with a schoolbag on his back. Before anyone arrived, he shouted at Lu Dong, "Brother Dong! Brother Dong! Leave me one!"

   Lu Dong continued to knock and said at the same time, "Don't eat everything, be careful of your stomachache!"

   Lu Lanlan didn't listen at all. He came over to support the bicycle, picked up a piece from the ground, wiped it on the glove, and put it in his mouth with a crunch, like eating a popsicle in summer.

   "Lanlan!" Lu Dong came over and flicked her forehead: "Not clean!"

   Lu Lanlan didn't care so much, he let out a hot breath, and said, "I've never had a stomach ache when I eat snacks."

   Lu Dong pointed at her, Lu Lanlan grimaced, and rode a bicycle to the south: "Brother Dong, I have to go to school!"

  This thing is indeed eaten by many people since childhood. Lu Dong heard Hu Chunlan say that grandfather Lu Zhenshan used ice skates to make wine before.

  Lu Jianshe pulled a drag bucket out of the house, which was full of broken green onions.

   A while ago, onions were cheap and no one was selling them, but now they don’t even get any.

   "Uncle, where are you going?" Lu Dong asked.

  Lv Jianshe looked at the wall. Lu Zhenlin's slogan "It is strictly forbidden to throw onions anywhere" is still there, and he said, "Go and throw it into the river."

  Lu Dong went home and put down the bamboo pole, pushed out Xiao Jialing, and said, "Drag it!"

  The trailer was hung on the frame of the Jialing car. When Lv Jiancheng got on the back seat, Lv Dong set fire to the north, went out of the village and climbed the river bank from the slope, parked on the bank, and threw rotten green onions into the river.

  The water in the river is very small, and some places are frozen. Looking around, the river is full of green onions.

   The people from Lujia Village here threw it, and the people from Majia Village on the opposite side threw at least a hundred thousand catties of green onions into the river in this section of Lujia Village.

   In some places, they are even piled up like hills.

   There are also old river embankments, which are still the same as last year’s flood control. I don’t know when the renovation will take place.

   Yang Liewen, who had been staring at this matter, was transferred away, and no one could guarantee whether the new town leaders would care.

   It is said that relying on others is worse than relying on oneself. With such a long river bank in Lujia Village, it is impossible for one village to handle it alone.

   After going through so many things, Lu Dong has a bad feeling. I hope there will be news in the spring of next year, but don't wait for Likima.

   The village has no money and has no confidence to do anything.

  Lu Jianshe grabbed the hay and wiped his hands, and said, "I won't grow green onions next year!"

  Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, but it was Nails and a few children who set fire to play on the embankment.

   "Nails!" Lu Dong took a few steps over there and shouted, "Why don't you go to school!"

   Nails used a stick to pick up a long hibernating worm that came out of nowhere, and threw it directly into the fire to roast: "Brother Dong, I'll go roast a long worm!"

  The fire burned a large area on the river bank, no one cared whether Lu Dong or Lu Jianshe.

   Most of the men in Lujia Village came here like this.

   Setting fire to river embankments in winter is a basic entertainment item.

  Lu Dong was about to go back and reminded: "Nails, it doesn't matter if we burn long worms to play with, don't eat them!"

  Nails assured: "Never eat it!"

   He and a few friends hit the long worm with a stick, and the long worm's skin burst open, revealing the cockroaches inside, as well as the white thread-like worms.

  Nails and others are not afraid of snakes, but they are disgusted by insects. They throw away their sticks one by one and go down the river bank to go to school.

   As for the poor long worm, it was almost cooked by the fire.

   Lu Dong took Lu Jianshe back to the old street, Hu Chunlan made the meat and sauce, and put it into the car bucket together with the soup made yesterday.

   "Your third grandma just came over." Hu Chunlan said, "Your third grandfather asked you to go to the brigade when you left."

   Lu Dong said, "I see."

He hung up the trailer, loaded the car with Hu Chunlan, went back to the house to change clothes, remembered the long bugs that Nail and others were playing with, took a long tea box from the windowsill, opened it and looked inside, he caught it before it got cold. Several scorpions, lying motionless.

   Unlike itchy hotties, scorpions live longer.

   In the winter, there was nowhere to look for bugs, so Lu Dong simply raised these scorpions.

  There is no stove in the house, and it is not easy for a scorpion to live.

  Lu Dong had to cover two quilts when he slept, and he also had to fill a hot pot to warm the quilt.

  Scorpions certainly don't have this kind of treatment.

   At 9:30, Lu Dong set off from home. The old street was still frozen solid, and it was much easier to walk than the cement road.

   He had just turned to Jijie when there was a loud bang in front of him, as if a cannon was being fired, and a puff of white smoke rose from the street.

   This pot of popcorn burst open, Lu Dong walked by, and the popcorn came out of the bag.

   In the big winter, the rural people are not idle, and this is not the northeast, and it is not cold enough to need a cat winter.

   In addition, the green onion market is not good this year, many people have cleaned up the old guy, and do some business that can make money, and strive to have a good year.

   Not to mention anything else, during the Chinese New Year, when relatives come to the door, there must be at least chicken and fish on the table.

  Like Qingzhao in many places, stewed water is also a must-have dish for Chinese New Year banquets.

   For example, in many nearby villages such as Lujia Village, Majia Village and Liuwan, boiled boiled water plays the leading role at the Chinese New Year banquet.

  Pig ears mixed with cucumbers, green onions mixed with pork liver, braised pig trotters, pig head and cheeks, etc., can account for half of the main course.

   In the rural banquets these days, they don’t pay attention to the healthy combination of green vegetables.

   Get half a table of vegetables, and someone will definitely gossip, even if vegetables are more expensive than meat in winter.

   Lu Dong rode his bike into the yard of the brigade, got off the car and entered the office. There was only Lv Zhenlin in the office, and Accountant Li was not there.

   "Third grandpa, are you looking for me?" Lu Dong asked.

Lu Zhenlin first pulled down the cabinet next to him, took out the envelope and gave it to Lu Dong: "Your letter! Also, at eight o'clock in the morning on the 27th, I'm going to hold a meeting that concerns the whole village. Dongzi, you are the advanced in the county, take it. I have been honored in the city, and I have been doing business outside, so I have to come and participate."

  Lu Dong nodded: "At eight o'clock on the 27th, okay! I'll be there on time!"

   He speculated that it might be a major event related to how Lujia Village would go next.

   Lu Zhenlin said again: "This meeting should have been held long ago. Who would have thought that the onion will be like this this year, and the matter of the onion will be delayed here..."

   Hearing the green onions, Lu Dong didn't know what to say, so he sighed and said, "Third grandpa, I'll go to the market first."

   Lu Zhenlin waved his hand: "Go."

His eyes fell on the book in front of him, which densely remembered a lot of things. He had thoughts since summer, what he saw and thought when he went out several times for inspections, several options for the next step, and what Lujia Village urgently needed. some things to do.

  There are some things that continue to be disapproved from above, but Lujiacun can't wait.

  For example, in the primary school, the dilapidated house has been in danger for more than ten years, and the weather is so cold that people can’t reach out.

   Always leave a bright and spacious learning environment for our children and grandchildren.

   For example, the river bank, the report has been put up long ago, but there is no movement, the leader has been transferred, and the new leader may not know what it means.

   Even if we don’t try to rebuild it, we still have to repair it in the village. The holes from last year have to be blocked.

   It all takes money.

   There is no money in the accounts of Lujia Village.

   Lu Dong walked out and looked down at the letter. He originally thought it was from Liu Zhaodi, but he didn't expect it to be a southern address.

   This address gave him a bad association, so Lu Dong didn't rush to leave. He stood by the car and opened the envelope to read the letter. The person who wrote the letter turned out to be Tian Chuanjie!

  Letter from Tian Dabang! Lu Dong was quite surprised.

"Lu Dong, you are meddling with the rat! I brought my classmates to the south to make a fortune, why would you stop me? You ruined my reputation everywhere in your hometown, do you still have a conscience? Don't let your classmates get rich? You are so bad! Tell you, you are sabotaging national projects! Obstructing national development! Sabotaging national plans! It's a crime!"

   Seeing this, Lu Dong touched his head, thinking that I have such great ability? Why don't you say I'm destroying the entire universe?

"Seriously, don't spread rumors in your hometown! I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm already a middle-level cadre of national engineering, it won't take too long, I will drive a car, go back with a lot of money, build a house and start a factory... …”

  Lü Dong read the bragging words at a glance, took the letter back into the envelope, threw it into the bag, and rode to the market.

   Tian Chuanjie was completely brainwashed, so he simply wrote a letter without his phone number.

   This also shows that he let Heidan and Li Wenyue spread the news about Tian Chuanjie among his classmates, and it really worked.

   Denied, Tian Chuanjie would not write such a letter in a hurry.

   Although Tian Chuanjie was not brought back, no matter what, some people could always be avoided from falling into the MLM trap.

   Out of the brigade's yard, he found that the Red Star car was parked in front of Lu Kun's house diagonally opposite. Lu Dong remembered that the winter recruiters were leaving, so he quickly stopped the car and passed by.

   On the other side of the car, many people came to send Lu Kun to the car.

   Lu Kun's mother took Lu Kun's car and wiped the tears from her eyes.

   "Go to the army, work hard!" Lu Kun's father warned: "Don't embarrass our Lujia Village!"

   Lu Kun also had tears in his eyes: "I know!"

  Li Lin didn't go to the construction site today, so he came to see Lu Kun: "Go, don't forget to write to me."

   Following Uncle Li's renovation for several months, Li Lin also calmed down, not as frizzy as before.

   "I can't forget it!" said Lu Kun.

   Lu Dong approached, Lu Kun shouted, "Brother Dong!"

   "Perform well." Lu Dong said more pragmatically: "There are many people in the army in our village, you strive to stay in the army."

   Lu Kun's father has already found someone.

   It wasn't that they were on the battlefield, so there weren't so many worries about parting, so Lu Kun and his father quickly got into Red Star's car and went to rush to their own future.

   Watching the car go away, Lu Dong greeted someone and rode on to the university town.
