The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 499: A mountain sculpture by the Daming Lake

   Chapter 499 Mountain Sculpture by Daming Lake

  Beside Daming Lake, the renovation of Jiaxuan Temple has come to the end.

For the rest of the small work, the apprentices of Hongxing and Xiaoguang took the workers to do it. Lu Jianren took a look around. Seeing that there was nothing major, he walked towards the parking place with his shoulders drooping, the thick soles dragged across the bluestone slabs. He made an uncomfortable sound like his fingernails scratching the blackboard, which attracted the attention of the people around him.

This is one of Lujia Village's living signs. In the past two years, he has done more work than the previous five years. Especially last year, he was very good at telling his nephew. He changed from a happy and happy driver to a construction company with apprentices. Master, one day when you go to work, you can't be busy for two or three hours. If you run into a clumsy person, you won't be able to teach anything for four or five hours.

  I used to drive for my nephew, and I would chat with people when I had nothing to do. Occasionally, I went to a work unit to win the bus driver to cry for my father and mother. One trip was enough for a week's worth of cigarettes.

  Unfortunately, the good days are gone forever.

   Although the monthly salary is quite high, but he is a dignified mountain sculpture, is he a person who lacks a few wages?

  It is easy to get on this pirate ship and difficult to get off.

   When apprentices learn skills from a teacher, they always have to teach each other, and they can’t just leave their apprentices alone halfway through.

  Especially when we came to Daming Lake, the three uncles and the fifth uncles told me thousands of times that it was related to the facade of Lujia Village, and I was busy all day.

   Fortunately, here is Daming Lake, as long as you want to find it, you can still have fun.

   Approaching the pickup truck, Lv Jianren took out a self-made wire roller and a small iron box, stuffed it into his pocket, and took a broken bag, and swayed to the edge of Daming Lake.

  Dry in the late spring, the water has receded a lot, and the new lotus on the shore shows small corners.

   Since it was not a weekend, there were not many people in the park, so Lv Jianren didn’t go far, so he found a pavilion by the water, sat on a wooden bench near the lake, and looked back at the lake.

   You can vaguely see fish swimming.

  Daming Lake, fish is put into it every year, but it is only salvaged every many years. There are enough fish in it, big enough and fat enough.

   But fishing is strictly prohibited in the lake.

   For Lv Jianren, this is nothing.

   Lv Jianren pulled off the self-made fishing line roller, opened the iron box, and there were fish hooks, lead weights and bait inside. He skillfully tied the lead weights and fish hooks, hung half an earthworm, and threw them directly into the lake.

  The fishing line is placed on the hand, and there is no need for a float. As long as there is a fish bite, it is easy to judge with Lv Jianren's rich experience.

   There was not much meeting, Lv Jianren shook the roller and pulled the fishing line, and after just a few touches, the interest went down all of a sudden.

   Sure enough, the one dragged ashore was a green-skinned toad that had just emerged from the warm weather.

  Toad Ti stayed on the shore, and suddenly a short man came running all the way: "Hey, that! Yes! It's just you, the surnamed Lu, don't run! You're stealing fish in the lake again!"

  Lu Jianren took off the big toad, and threw it into his pocket without haste. He squinted at the management staff who ran into the pavilion, and his words were as annoying as ever: "I said, which eye did you see me running?"

   This is not the first time the short staff has dealt with Lu Jianren: "It is strictly forbidden to fish in the lake!"

Lv Jianren's reasoning was one set at a time: "Where did I go fishing? You know, I dropped a toad!" He pointed to the sign outside the pavilion that read "No Fishing", and said, "Daming Lake is strictly prohibited from fishing, I didn't say anything. No toad fishing?"

   "In short, you can't fish!" The short staff could only stop it, but couldn't do anything else.

  Lü Jianren looked at the work card on his chest and said, "Comrade Wu, how dare you..."

   The short staff emphasized: "This is Daming Lake!"

"I know, I know." Lv Jianren slapped the big toad that jumped up into his pocket with a slap, and said, "This is Daming Lake with outstanding people. There is Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake. You all know that there is Wu Dalang by Daming Lake... "

   The short staff is not very angry.

   When Lu Dong came over, he heard the last few words and said quickly, "Comrade, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my uncle loves to joke."

   Lu Kun, who was following him, quickly took out a pack of cigarettes and stuffed them into the hands of the short staff member. The short staff member looked down at the black cigarette case and left without saying a word.

   Just before leaving, he said, "You can't fish here, and you can't even fish for toads!"

   Lu Kun said: "We know, know, don't worry, let's go now."

  Lu Dong walked over: "Seventh Uncle, you went to Daming Lake to fish for toads, let the reporter take pictures, and then published it in the newspaper."

   Lv Jianren didn't care: "Just show your face."

  Usually speaking, it’s useless to say it, and you can find a reason when you say it. Lu Dong didn’t say it, and directly said the key point: “Nails will go to junior high school after the summer vacation. The junior high school students are all directors, and the teachers all read the newspapers…”

"Okay, okay, I know how to take care of your seventh uncle." Lu Jianren packed up his things, threw the fishing line roller and iron box to Lu Kun, carried the bag out of the pavilion, and walked to the Jiaxuan Temple: "Dongzi, you bear Stupid, if you haven't learned a bit of seriousness, you will learn to play tricks with your seventh uncle. One day when you meet a little black egg, I will give you a high and black appearance, let me think about it..."

   He turned his head and asked Lu Kun, "Did Brother Dong have an idea when he was in junior high school, called Wang Xiaojuan or Jiang Xiaojuan?"

  Lu Kun looked at Uncle Seven and Brother Dong. Neither of them could afford to offend him, so he followed steadily, and he couldn't hold back one of them.

   Lu Dong wondered: "Why don't I remember such a person?"

   Junior high school is too far away for him, and there are not many classmates who can remember their names.

  Lu Jianren ignored him, put on his bag and walked forward. There was a big toad in the bag, which kept bumping back and forth.

   Maybe he thought he had found a way to get hold of Lu Dong, and Lu Jianren was in a good mood. He walked and sang.

   "There were water toads in the river, and the noisy uncle was annoyed. He caught a few drinking and squeaked, goo! Boo! They all ran away!"

  Lü Dong looked at him from behind, Seventh Uncle slumped his shoulders, the soles of his shoes were dragging on the ground, shaking his head, quite a bit like a slender-necked big-headed ghost.

   Eat together at noon and talk about business.

   Lu Dong asked, "Can I make money from this job?"

After all, he has been working hard for half a year, and someone like Lu Jianren is afraid of being serious. He took a sip of wine and said, "Just like Lao Xin's memorial hall, he doesn't live much, doesn't earn much, and removes materials and labor. And other expenses, 200,000 is still available."

He lit a cigarette, and said in rare serious words: "This project is mainly a stepping stone for the village construction company in Quannan. There are so many old buildings in Quannan. It sounds like a protection society has been established. , we did this job neatly and the relationship was in place, so we won't have to say it in the future."

   After finally meeting Uncle Seven so motivated, Lu Dong quickly toasted him: "Uncle Seven, you have worked hard!"

Lu Jianren drank the wine in the glass, but said, "Dongzi, you are going to be the deputy director of the village committee, and you will be the person in charge of your seventh uncle in the future, but you have to find an easier job for me earlier. "

   Lu Dong said: "It's early."

   "Not yet approved?" Lu Jianren asked.

   "Now they belong to activists and have an inspection period." Lu Dong said: "This matter can't be rushed."

Lu Kun took over the words: "Everything that Brother Dong has done, I can talk about it. Sooner or later, I will go to the preparatory meeting over there with the license holder. It is estimated that in a few days, the county will be able to reach the city. ."

   Lu Jianren spit out smoke: "Can it be done??"

   "Not this year, not next year." Lu Dong told the truth: "My age is a problem."

   This kind of thing, you can only work hard in a good direction, you can't force it.

   I went to a meeting this morning. There are additional places. He is also one of the nominees, but he has an advantage in terms of honor compared to other people in their 40s and 50s.

   As we all know, this honor is only a reference option, not a deciding factor.

   Anyway, sooner or later, Lu Dong would not bother Uncle Yu or Uncle Ma to help because of this.

  After dinner, Lv Jianren went back to the construction site, Lv Dong and Lv Kun returned to Qingzhao, and when they went back, they deliberately walked from the west end of Quannan Pedestrian Street. Lv Dong went to the three stores in Ximen and the No. 1 Sports Club on the fourth floor to have a look.

  The underground parking lot of Qiansheng Commercial Building has pipeline maintenance, and there is no parking today. Lu Kun had to park the car in the parking lot in front of Sanlian Appliances.

   The business of the three stores of Lu's Catering Ximen has been booming. Because of Lu Dong's strict requirements and Fu Zhaoxia's proper management, the service and catering quality in the stores have not declined in the slightest.

  Qiao Weiguo is temporarily stable in the first sports Quannan flagship store on the fourth floor.

   Lao Qiao told Lu Dong more than once that Qiao Weiguo was looking for a daughter-in-law to get a daughter-in-law. Lv Dong found Qiao Weiguo and asked about the tension between him and Xiaofu.

If    was someone else, Lu Dong would definitely not ask, but Comrade Wei Guo, he still had to be properly concerned, so that his daughter-in-law would run away.

   When talking to Qiao Weiguo, you can't go around in circles. If you don't want to confuse yourself first, Lu Dong asked, "Weiguo, how far have you progressed?"

  Qiao Weiguo was embarrassed, and just said: "It's good, it's good."

   Lu Dong asked with concern: "When are you going to meet your parents?"

   "That...that..." Qiao Weiguo scratched his bald head: "We haven't discussed this matter yet. Xiaofu said that he should be busy with his career first, and then he will be two years older."

   Actually, he had his own ideas, and he had to wait until he went to the Shaolin Temple to start a family.

   Lu Dong nodded: "Xiao Fu is an opinionated person, you should respect her opinion in this regard."

  Qiao Weiguo said with a smile: "I don't understand this either, I'll just listen to her."

   "Okay." Lu Dong said directly: "Wherever you plan to live, buy a house early, buy it early, and finish things early. Once you have a house, you can go to see Xiaofu's parents at that time, and you will have the confidence."

  Qiao Weiguo convinced Lu Dong: "I'll listen to you. After I'm done with this, I'll buy a bigger set in the university town."

   In these years, it was no easier for ordinary workers to buy a house than later, and the ratio of wages to house prices was slightly smaller.

   But for the old brothers who were the first to follow Lu Dong, not to mention investment dividends, etc., it is easy to provide housing just from salary.

   After ten o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Dong came out of Qiansheng Commercial Building and came to the front gate parking lot of Sanlian Commercial Building, just to meet an acquaintance.

   "What a coincidence, Mr. Lu."

   The person who greeted him was Zhang Tao, the general manager of Sanlian, whom he had met a few days ago, followed by a woman whom Lv Dong also knew. The senior executive of Sanlian who had dealt with him once seemed to be called Chu Yuxiang.
