   After returning to the village in the middle of the afternoon, most of the fireworks and firecrackers were unloaded in the large yard of the village committee, and they were placed directly in the village at night. Lv Dong and Lv Jianren put a lot of fireworks on Lv Jianguo’s side, and took the rest back to the old street.

   Throw some in the old house, and the rest will be divided among the children on the street who are smashed and smashed.

   Years ago, Uncle Tie and Auntie Tie’s big truck was used a lot, and Lu Dong went to the chicken farm to deliver a few boxes of red and fireworks.

   Back on the old street, Lv Dong went to Qishu's house to find Qiqi's aunt, and Nail was setting off a battle at the gate.

  I have made progress, but I didn't blow shit.

The   nails stuffed the blaster into the frozen mud hole on the street. When it was lit, there was a loud bang, and the ice and mud flew everywhere.

  Lu Dong didn't say anything, he just played like this when he was a kid.

When he was a child, he was more naughty than a nail. He once stuffed a bomb into a piece of steamed bun, and lit it and threw it to the dog of Jianshe's uncle's house. From the tenth to the first day of the new year, I got under the bed and dared not come out.

  The explosive battles that are played at random, children can play with flowers.

  Lu Dong entered the door, Seventh Aunt was cutting dumpling fillings, Seventh Uncle was sitting in front of a big dustpan and was dismantling fireworks.

   "Seventh Aunt, here's the card. The password is Uncle Seven's birthday." Lu Dong took out his bank card and gave it to Aunt Seven, reminding him, "Don't forget to buy a motorcycle for Uncle Seven."

   "Buy! Go buy it after the Chinese New Year!" Seventh Aunt made up her mind and looked at Lv Jianren again: "Buying a motorcycle shop, I threw all these away, don't add any more to the New Year's Eve."

Considering the importance of motorcycles, Lv Jianren responded and put the dustpan away. Thinking of Mulan, the lady riding the little black egg, he seemed to say casually: "Buy two, I'll buy you a Mulan! You work for the village, It is also convenient to commute to and from get off work.”

   Seven aunts suddenly stopped chopping the dumpling stuffing, lowered his head and turned to a direction that Lu Dong could not see.

   Lu Dong is a wink, hurry up.

   Back at the old house, Hu Chunlan had already made a paste with flour. Lv Dong found a broken brush and put the paste on the door to paste the Spring Festival couplets. The Spring Festival couplets were not bought, but written by the second grandfather with a brush.

   The slightly dilapidated blue-brick house, with the Spring Festival couplets in black on a red background, is a bit more innovative.

   Afterwards, Lu Dong hung the Chinese knot he bought in front of the screen wall, and two big red lanterns were hung by wires in front of the gate.

  The village was busy this year, and it was not until yesterday that the work stopped. The layout on the street was much less than in previous years. Before, a string of red lanterns could be hung from south to north.

   The horn of the brigade sounded, and Lu Zhenlin's voice came out, announcing that fireworks would be set off in the spacious area at the south end of the village starting at 6:30 tonight.

   In addition to the fireworks brought back by Lv Dong and Lv Jianren, other people in the village will bring fireworks and firecrackers over to set them off.

   After simply arranging the front door, Hu Chunlan went to make noodles, Lv Dong cut celery, and prepared dumplings.

  According to the usual practice, I went to my uncle's house for dinner on the 30th night, but the dumplings at midnight and at 5 o'clock had to be eaten at home.

   Lu Dong asked while chopping vegetables, "Mom, second brother hasn't arrived yet?"

Hu Chunlan said, "Your eldest brother borrowed a car to pick him up at Quannan Railway Station. The four o'clock train will come back at five." She made up the noodles and went to pick the soaked fungus: "I asked your aunt at noon. It's only three days off, and I have to leave in the morning of the second day of the new year."

  Lu Dong stopped the knife and gathered the vegetables, and said, "It would be nice to come back once."

   At 4:30, Hu Chunlan placed a plate of dumplings on the table of the Eight Immortals in the main room, and put a pair of chopsticks next to her. Looking at the picture frame on the wall, she said to Lu Dong, "It's New Year's Eve, kowtow."

  Lu Dong kowtowed, looked at the person in the photo frame, and silently summed up what he had done for the past six months.

   Unswervingly walks on the road of making a fortune, and also wants to make the homeland where he was born and raised rich.

   "The future will get better and better!" Lu Dong whispered: "I will be a good person."

   There were firecrackers in the village, Hu Chunlan looked at the time: "Put the firecrackers, let's go to your uncle's place."

  A long bamboo pole was tied with a thousand-sounding red, and it was placed on a stick that hung sandbags between the shadow wall and the toon tree. Lu Dong went over to light it, and the explosion started to crackle.

  Hu Chunlan closed the door and went to the uncle's house on Jijie with Lu Dong.

   The sky was still bright, but the sound of firecrackers kept ringing. When Lu Dong met people in the village, he kept saying hello. Although many people’s onions were rotten in the Qingzhao River this year, the big guy had a pretty good year.

   The food company in the village is booming. According to the household registration, everyone was given a bonus of 50 yuan yesterday. If there are four or five people in the family, the income will be more than 200 yuan.

   There are more than 1,000 people in Lujia Village, and the food company distributed more than 60,000 yuan.

   The money was not much, but it greatly boosted the morale of the whole village.

   This will let the big guys see that as long as you work hard, the future is bright.

   Passing by the gate of the brigade's courtyard, Lu Dong saw Lu Zhenlin, and Lu Zhenlin also saw him and called him over to speak.

  Lu Dong entered the yard of the brigade: "Grandpa Third." Then he greeted a person next to him: "Grandpa Fifth."

  Lu Zhenfei said: "Dongzi, your suggestions are all good. After more than a month of development, our village food company has started."

   Lu Dong said modestly: "Boiled cooking is the traditional specialty of our village, so I just talk and rely on the whole village."

   Lu Zhenlin warned: "Lu Dong, you have to pay attention, there are people who are jealous, ask about our formula, don't talk about this with anyone, not even in our village."

   Lu Dong understood: "I know." He asked: "Can you apply for a patent?"

  Lv Jianwu came out of the office and said, "In the current environment, if you dare to apply for a patent, someone will dare to disclose it to the outside world. It's better to say locally. We go out to fight a patent lawsuit, and we lose nine out of ten."

   "We still do a good job of keeping secrets." Lu Zhenlin said.

   Lv Jianwu said: "Since we are running a company and starting a business, everything is done according to the rules."

  Lu Zhenfei said with a smile: "In one and a half months, it made 980,000 sales, which is very good, better than many county companies!"

   Lu Dong knew that most county-owned companies were either bankrupt or about to go bankrupt.

   The three companies are already in relatively good condition.

  Lu Zhenlin said: "Tomorrow, after the New Year's greetings, come to the brigade for a meeting, we need to discuss the next plan."

   This old man, who is in his sixties, is neither satisfied with his current achievements nor overwhelmed by the booming business.

   The business of Lujia Village has just started.

   "Got it." Lu Dong responded.

   Lu Zhenlin added: "Remember to come out and set off fireworks after dinner."

   Lu Dong responded, seeing that it was all right, he went out of the brigade's yard and went to Li Wenyue's house for a lap, just as Li Wenyue had something to look for him.

   "In the afternoon, Zhao Di... No, Liu Linlin has been here before." Li Wenyue exclaimed very awkwardly: "It is said that the classmates have an appointment for a party tomorrow afternoon."

   "Where?" This is not the case in the future. The restaurant will not open on the first day of the new year. Lu Dong thought for a while, and then said, "The food company will have a meeting tomorrow, so I may not be free."

Li Wenyue was working in the brigade recently and said, "I made an appointment to go to No. 1 Middle School, Liu...Linlin has a great face, and the school will give a classroom when the time comes. It is temporarily confirmed that there are more than 30 people, all of whom are at our level. ."

   Lu Dong said: "I can't go, you tell her."

  Li Wenyue nodded: "Okay."

  Look at it's almost five o'clock, Lu Dong hurried to the uncle's house, and when he entered the house, he saw more people.

   Twenty-four or five years old, half a head shorter than him and Lv Chun, with neat short hair, and an expression on his face similar to that of Lu Jianguo, he always seemed a little serious.

   "Second brother!" Lu Dong took two steps forward.

   Lu Xia nodded slightly and patted his arm forcefully: "It's taller and stronger!"

   Lu Dong smiled: "When did you arrive?"

   Lu Xia spoke concisely: "Ten minutes."

   Aunt Li Min came in to say hello: "Hurry up and set the table, and the dishes will be served."

   Lu Dong dragged the big round table by himself, Lu Xia went to move the high stool, and Lu Chun came in with two plates.

   Lu Chun went to serve the dishes again. Lu Xia put on a stool and asked, "Big brother said you are in business?"

   Lu Dong smiled: "I do a little business in the area under the eldest brother's jurisdiction, and everyone gives the eldest brother face."

   "I'm not at home." Lu Xia said seriously, "It's hard work for you and eldest brother."

   Lu Dong said quickly: "Second brother, our family doesn't speak two languages."

   Lu Xia gave him a careful look: "The last time I saw you, I was a naive child."

   Lu Dong was influenced by him, and he spoke concisely: "Always grow up."

   Lu Xia nodded: "I have to count on you and my eldest brother in the future."

  Lu Dong wiped the table with a quick rag: "You put one hundred and twenty hearts on the troops." He couldn't help but wonder: "Second brother, just knowing that you are an Air Force pilot, what plane do you fly?"

   Lu Chun just happened to bring in the dishes again: "Don't ask, you can't tell if you ask."

  Lu Jian said concisely: "Yes."

   Lu Dong understood: "Need confidentiality?"

  The table and stools were set, and the dishes were served. Lu Xia went to his room and quickly came out with a box: "Dongzi, this is for you."

   "It's really good, there are also New Year's gifts." Lu Dong took it.

   Open it and see that there is a model airplane inside, made of empty shells.

   Lu Jianguo came in at this time and sat on the main seat. The whole family came to the table. Lu Dong opened the box to get the wine, and Lu Xia held the wine glass: "I don't drink."

   can understand, and his own family will not force it.

Before    started, Lv Jianguo picked up the wine glass and said, "This year, we are all very good. Lv Chun was promoted, Lv Xia was promoted, and Lu Dong's business was booming. Next year, we will be better!"

  Everyone raised their cups and toasted together.

   A big family, lively and lively, chatting while eating, most of the time it was Lu Dong and Lu Chun talking to drive the atmosphere.

   may be related to the unit he is in. Lu Xia spoke very little, and he couldn’t even mention many things.

   Dumplings came out, and went to the yard to set off firecrackers.

   When it was nearly 6:30, everyone went out to the entrance of the village. Boxes of fireworks and firecrackers had already been delivered, and the long red ones hung one after another on the ground, like a long red dragon.

   Lu Zhenlin gave an order, and several eighteen-nine people, including Lu Dong, lit the fire together, and the deafening sound of firecrackers sounded one after another.

  Red is flying all over the sky!

   Hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the village to watch the fireworks. One by one, fireworks appeared one after another.

   This is also the largest fireworks display in Lujia Village in recent years.

  The old and quiet village in the past few years seems to be different.

   The fireworks ended before 8 o'clock, and many people went to the yard to watch the Spring Festival Gala. It was cold at night, but it couldn't stop the heat of people's hearts.

   But the Spring Festival Gala in 1999 made many people unable to laugh.

  There are always people, and those who are celebrating the New Year will block the whole country.

   Luckily, Lujia Village was not affected much. The whole village was filled with masons and peasants who were digging food in the fields.

   There is less work in public factories.
