The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 38: plan ahead

   Chapter 38 Plan ahead

   After coming out of the School of Finance, Lu Dong entered the Normal University in a similar way, but the Provincial University did not enter. The guard was not a local, so he did not eat his tricks.

   Even so, we have obtained a lot of first-hand data.

  Once the school starts, there will be a large demand for daily necessities, except for the small part provided by the school.

   The on-campus store is basically twice as expensive as the retail price outside.

   In fact, it is understandable, because it is not easy to enter the school and open a store. Just one department of logistics does not know how many levels there are.

   Therefore, small daily necessities are definitely promising.

   Having seen it with his own eyes, Lu Dong dared to invest his little money.

   Lu Dong walked back, went out of the university town to Diaojiazhuang, found the facade of Diao Juan who had collected his fish, and asked her to also collect catfish, and was going to pull over the fish she had saved these days and sell it.

  Last month, a large number of fish came down due to flood discharge from several reservoirs, and the price of catfish kept going down, so the catfish caught by Lu Dong have been kept there.

   Now, except for the monkeys, the business on the river has stopped.

  With the end of the rainy season, the water potential of the Qingzhao River has become smaller, and the supervision of the relevant departments has been relaxed. Several upstream chemical plants have resumed sewage discharge into the Qingzhao River, including a village-run enterprise, which is less than ten miles away from Lujia Village.

  The power of chemical sewage is powerful, and the number of dead fish, shrimp, and leeches in the river is increasing day by day.

   Even the catfish died in large pieces.

Not to mention the boss, industrial pollution is only one aspect, and domestic pollution is equally serious. The villages along the coast, including Lujia Village, have always regarded the Qingzhao River as a dumping ground for garbage, dead dogs and cats, washing clothes and washing fertilizer bags, etc. , Qingzhaohe is not the preferred target.

  When the water flow is large, it will be washed away quickly, and the water flow will become smaller, and all kinds of aquatic organisms will be badly affected by sedimentation and fermentation in the river.

  The exception is water hyacinth, which grows more vigorously, and even covers the entire river in some places.

   Before mid-August, the Qingzhao River was showing signs of stink.

   Lu Dong gave up decisively after the leeches he caught for two consecutive days could not recover the cost of the pig blood he had put in.

   He didn't even catch the fish, but there were fish in a net, all dead and smelly.

  Lv Dong also discussed with Hu Chunlan about what he wanted to do in the university town. After Hu Chunlan asked carefully, he had no objection.

In general, Hu Chunlan has a calculation on how much Lu Dong has earned these days. Knowing that Lu Dong has changed his mind, he will no longer mess around all day. Now that he is out of school, he must find a job. It is always better to have a businessman tethered than to be idle.

   Besides, Lu Dong also proved that he can really make money through serious business.

  Rural women who raised their children alone, are simple yet shrewd, and have worked hard for many years, and have realized that money is becoming more and more important in society.

   Don't say anything else, if you can earn money, it will be easier to find a daughter-in-law in the future.

   If you have no money, let alone marriage, a gift for a small meeting can make people dumbfounded.

   Lu Dong found a public phone, called Lu Chun's pager, and wanted to ask when he was off work.

   When you come to Big Brother's jurisdiction to work hard, you must say hello.

  Unexpectedly, Lu Chun had already returned to Lujia Village and asked Lu Dong to have lunch. Lu Jianguo worked overtime yesterday and happened to be at home.

   Lu Dong rushed back and went to Cheng Lifeng Meat Shop to buy some meat dishes.

   "Uncle Cheng, come with ten chicken feet." Lu Dong chose meat dishes across the gauze curtain: "Come on, let's take a few pounds of pork head."

  Cheng Lifeng is very stocky, fleshy, and his face is simple and honest: "Come on! Wait a minute!"

   He took a convenient pocket, grabbed a large handful of chicken feet, and cut a piece of pork head meat. After weighing it, he said, "Twenty-two."

   took the convenience bag that was handed over. Lu Dong was about to pay, but he felt that it was not right. Looking closely, he wanted ten chicken feet, and there must be seventeen or eighteen.

   Pork head meat, far more than a pound.

   The things were weighed and brought to the uncle's house again. More is better than less. Lu Dong didn't care, he paid the money to go out, and met Li Wenyue who came back from the brigade.

   "Buy something delicious?" Li Wenyue asked.

   Lu Dong picked up the convenience bag: "Go to my uncle."

Li Wenyue glanced at his neighbor Cheng Lifeng butcher's shop, and after holding back his words, he said: "I called Di in the morning, her notice has arrived, her father will hold a banquet to celebrate at the end of the month, and the teacher and good classmates will also let you go, you Not at home, she asked me to inform and go together when the time comes."

   Lu Dong asked the specific time and said, "Okay, let's go together."

   Li Wenyue said: "Zhao Di's father figured it out, she finally got through it."

   Lu Dong also sighed a little: "It's not easy."

   Maybe the school, the education committee, or even the county, went to work for Liu Mingquan again.

  Liu Zhaodi, is this also a bittersweet?

   Lu Dong gave the meat and vegetables he bought to his aunt, who made a few polite words.

   Lu Chun was coming out of his room with a book.

   "Big Brother." Lu Dong went over and glanced curiously at the book in Lu Chun's hand.

  Lü Chun shook his head and said, "I have suffered from the loss of lack of education. I am going to make up for it. I asked reporter Fang to help me apply for a correspondence course at TVU."

   This is a good thing, Lu Dong has nothing to say: "Come on."

   The two brothers talked, mainly about the reports already published in the Evening News. Thinking of the article written by Fang Yan, Lv Dong felt like he had jumped into a trap he dug and couldn't get out.

   "Heroes are by our side - Remembering the Strange Worm Boy Lu Dong".

   An inexplicable sense of shame, do you have it?

   This worm cannot be removed from the head.

  The aunt prepared the meal and brought it into the main room, with Lu Jianguo sitting in the middle.

  In Taidong, there is a formal dinner at home, and women can’t serve the table, but my family is not as poor as they are.

   There are so-called traditional rules in Taidong and Quannan. Even a local, Lu Dong, is very speechless.

   Opened a box of Baotuquan beer, Lu Dong pried it open with chopsticks, gave a bottle to the uncle and brother, and also took a bottle for himself.

After the three people had a drink, Lu Jianguo praised him a little because of the news in the newspaper, and asked Lu Dong, "What do you want to do after school? Join the army? Join the factory?"

   Lu Dong said, "Come on by yourself first."

Lv Jianguo is an upright person. Although his thinking is relatively conservative, he is also a man who has been in the society for many years after being discharged from the army: "It's better to go ahead first, to accumulate some experience, and it will be easier to deal with personnel relations in the future." He thought about it and said: "I still need to find a stable job. If I can solve the establishment, I will think of a way."

   Lv Chun maintains the authority of the elders. It's hard to say anything, but reminds Lu Dong: "Don't run far away, the society is more complicated than you think."

   "Never run far away." Lu Dong assured: "It's right here in our house, if you can find an opportunity here, why run far away and suffer. The third grandfather said, it's better to be better than home."

   Working hard in a university town, the locals can bring many intangible advantages.

   It is close to home and has a reputation for being young and strong. Lujia Village has nearly 100 strong laborers on the University Town construction site, and the uncle is in charge of the construction site, etc. This can avoid many unnecessary troubles.

   Then there is the eldest brother, Lv Chun. University City is his jurisdiction, and he communicates widely.

   Lv Dong never thought about letting Lv Chun do anything to brush the edge or cross the line, but Lv Chun people in the university town is a kind of protection.

  The first step in life to truly enter the society, it is very rare to find a good opportunity in a familiar hometown.

   Familiar people, a familiar environment, and a familiar network of relationships can make the first step into society drop in difficulty.

  The road has to be taken step by step, and if you are too high, you will only fall into the ditch.

   Lu Dong deliberately said what happened today.

  Lv Jianguo was originally in the university town, and said, "I have the intention, I observed very carefully, the university town has just opened, there are few supporting facilities, and there are basically no commercial facilities. It is an opportunity."

   Lu Chun and Lu Dong clink glasses: "I think it's not bad."

  Lü Jianguo, like a big parent, said directly: "Dongzi is going to break through in the university town, Chunzi, you take care of it." Special emphasis: "You two, don't violate the principle, don't smear our face!"

   The brothers quickly promised.

   "All aspects of the university town are loosely controlled now, and they will be stricter in the future." Lv Chun took precautions and thought about it for a while: "I will introduce someone to you, and I will go to the county town with me in the evening to have a meal together."

   Lu Dong said: "Okay."

   Lu Chun was originally from the grassroots and the first line, and the introduction is estimated to be the first line.

   Sometimes the magistrates are not as good as the current ones.

   Satisfied with food and wine, Lu Dong said goodbye and left, preparing to pack up the catfish and go to Diaojiazhuang.

In the main room, Lv Jianguo said to Lv Chun: "Dongzi is young and aggressive, so it's not a bad thing." Thinking of the praise in the newspaper: "Now he is also a sensible person who does not violate organizational discipline. If he can help, he will help."

   Lu Chun said with a smile: "Dad, Dongzi and I are brothers. Don't worry, we don't bully others, but we can't be bullied either." He looked at the time: "I'll go to the brigade to make a call."

In the orchard in the north of the village, Lu Dong fished out the catfish in the water tank, put a large bucket and a large water bag, the bucket was tied to the back seat of the bicycle, and the water bag was placed on the beam, greeted Hu Chunlan, and rode the bike. Go to Lujia Village.

   Diao Juan's fish shop is just at the entrance of Diaojiazhuang Village. This is also the market street of Diaojiazhuang. Unlike Lujia Village's decline and disappearance, Diaojiazhuang will have a big market every five days.

  The fish shop opened a door to a house facing the street.

   Parked in front of the door was a brand new Yamaha 80 curved beam motorcycle with a welded steel frame and a new big drag bucket.

  The orange small Jialing and the slightly worn-out large trailer parked alone in the corner.

   This is a big upgrade of equipment.

   "Big sister!" Lu Dong saw Diao Juan who was busy cleaning the car, and took off the bucket from the back seat of the car: "Catfish are here."

   Diao Juan put down the rag, went over to take a look, and picked up two more tossed them: "As I said in the morning, 3 yuan a pound."

   Recently, the price of catfish has risen significantly, but during the holidays and the year, it has basically risen to the top. Lu Dong said happily: "Okay, overweight."

   There were nearly twenty catfish, and the smallest one weighed over a pound. After passing the scale, Diao Juan ordered Lu Dong 136 yuan.

   After collecting the money, Lu Dong's eyes fell on the brand-new Yamaha 80 motorcycle: "Big sister, bought a new one? Isn't it cheap?"

  Diao Juan took a photo of the seat: "It cost more than 7,000 yuan to refit the body belt."

   Lu Dong glanced at the orange little Jialing and the rusty big trailer: "It's much more expensive than this car!"

   "Who said no!" Diao Juan bought a new car and was in a good mood: "Three years ago, Jialing finished this set for more than 2,000."

   Lu Dong smiled and flattered: "Change the new car to the old one, eldest sister, you upgrade fast enough."

  Diao Juan seemed humble: "There are people in the village who buy cars. Compared to others, I'm a drizzle. There are many rich people now, and a few days ago, someone drove a brand new Santana 2000 into the village."

   Lu Dong pointed to the orange Jialing: "Is this car eliminated?"

   Diao Juan is a businessman with a keen sense of smell: "Brother, do you want it?"

   Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for collection! Ask for support!

   The city where the protagonist lives in this book is a revision of the famous provincial capital and large county town. For the sake of safety and mythical beasts, the actual situation is not copied. In addition, some major events, considering the beasts, will not be touched.
