The Era of Hard Work

After leaving the School of Finance, Lu Dong went to the Normal University in a similar way, but he didn't go to the Provincial University.

Even so, a lot of first-hand data has been mastered.

Once the students start school, they will have 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 also understandable, because it is not easy to enter a school and open a store, and the logistics department alone does not know how many checkpoints there are.

Therefore, small daily necessities are definitely promising.

With what he saw with his own eyes, Lu Dong also dared to invest the little money he had.

Lu Dong walked back, went out of the university town to Diaojiazhuang, found Diao Juan who had taken other fish, and asked her about taking catfish, and planned to sell the fish he had saved these days.

Last month, a large number of fish came down due to the lifting of floodgates in several reservoirs, and the price of catfish has been falling. Therefore, the catfish that Lu Dong caught has been raised. After entering this month, the price of catfish has increased by 1 yuan per catty.

Now except for the cicada monkeys, the work on the river has stopped.

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

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

Even catfish, there are large pieces of dead.

The second is not the boss, industrial pollution is only one aspect, and domestic pollution is equally serious. All the villages along the coast, including Lujia Village, have always regarded the Qingzhao River as a dumping ground for garbage, dead dogs and cats, laundry and fertilizer bags, etc. , Qingzhaohe is the first choice target.

When the water flow is high, it will be washed away quickly, and when the water flow becomes small, it will all accumulate and ferment in the river, and all kinds of aquatic organisms will suffer bad luck.

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

Before mid-August, the Qingzhao River had faint signs of stink.

After the leeches that Lu Dong caught for two consecutive days could not recover the cost of the pig's blood, etc., he gave up decisively.

They don't even catch fish, but there are fish in the net, all of which are dead and smelly.

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

How much money Lu Dong has earned these days, Hu Chunlan generally has a calculation, knowing that Lu Dong has changed his sex and no longer messes around all day long. Now that he is out of school, he must find a job. It's better to have a real business life tied down than to be idle.

Besides, Lu Dong also proved that it is really possible to make money through serious business.

The rural women who raised their children alone are simple but shrewd. After years of hard work, they have realized that money is becoming more and more important in society.

Not to mention anything else, if you can earn money, you will be able to find a wife in the future.

No money, not to mention marriage, a gift for a small meeting can make people dumbfounded.

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

If you come to work in the area under the jurisdiction of your eldest brother, you must say hello.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chun had already returned to Lu's Village and asked Lu Dong to have lunch. Lu Jianguo happened to be at home after working the night shift yesterday.

Lu Dong hurried back and first went to Cheng Lifeng's butcher shop to buy some meat dishes.

"Uncle Cheng, here are ten chicken feet." Lu Dong chose meat dishes through the gauze curtain, "I'll bring another catty of pork head meat."

Cheng Lifeng looks very stocky, fleshy, with a simple and honest face: "Okay! Wait a moment!"

He took a convenience pocket, grabbed a handful of chicken feet, cut a piece of pork head, weighed it and said, "Twenty-two."

Taking the convenience bag handed over, Lu Dong was about to pay, but felt that something was wrong. Looking carefully, he wanted ten chicken feet, so there must be seventeen or eight.

Pork head meat, far more than a catty.

The things were loaded on the scale, and they were taken to the uncle's house again. More is better than less, and Lu Dong didn't care about it. He paid the money and went out, and ran into 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's butcher shop, held back the words on his lips, and said instead: "I recruited my daughter in the morning, her notice has arrived, and her father is throwing a banquet to celebrate at the end of the month, and the teacher and close classmates will also let you go. If you're not at home, she asked me to notify you, and we will go together."

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

Li Wenyue said: "Zhaodi's father has figured it out, she finally made it through."

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

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

Liu Zhaodi, is this the end of all hardships?

Lu Dong handed over the meat and vegetables he had bought to his aunt, and the aunt said a few words of courtesy.

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

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

Lu Chun shook his head and said, "I have suffered the loss of not having a degree, and I am going to make up for it. I asked Reporter Fang to help me enroll in the TVU correspondence class."

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

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

"Heroes Are Around Us——Record of the Strange Insect Boy Lu Dong".

An inexplicable sense of shame, is there any?

This worm cannot be removed from the head.

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

In Taidong, there are formal dinners at home, and women are not allowed to sit on the table, but our family is not as fussy as that.

In Taidong and Quannan, there are some so-called traditional rules. Even Lu Dong, a local, is very speechless.

Opening a box of Baotu Spring beer, Lu Dong pried it open with chopsticks, gave a bottle to his uncle and elder brother, and took a bottle for himself.

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

Lu Dong said, "Let's go on our own first."

Lu Jianguo is an upright person. Although his thinking is relatively conservative, he is also a person who has been out of the army for many years. "I still need to find a stable job and solve the staffing problem. I will think of a way."

Lu Chun defended the authority of the parents, so it was hard to say anything, so he reminded Lu Dong: "Don't go far away, society is more complicated than you think."

"Absolutely don't go far away." Lu Dong promised: "It's just here in our house. If you can find opportunities here, why go far away and suffer. The third grandpa once said that everything is worse than home."

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

It is close to home, young and strong, and has a reputation. Lujia Village has nearly a hundred strong workers on the construction site in the university town, and the uncle is in charge of the construction site, etc., which can avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Then there is the eldest brother Lu Chun, the University City is his jurisdiction, and he has a lot of contacts.

Lu Dong didn't think about asking Lu Chun to do anything that crossed the border or cross the line, but Lu Chun's being in the university town is a kind of protection.

It is very rare to find a good opportunity in the familiar hometown for the first step in life to truly step into the society.

Familiar people, familiar environment, and familiar network can make the first step into the society much easier.

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

Lu Dong specifically talked about today's events.

Lu Jianguo was already in the university town, and said, "Be careful, and observe carefully. The university city has just opened, and there are few supporting facilities, and there are basically no commercial facilities. This is an opportunity."

Lu Chun clinked glasses with Lu Dong: "I think it's not bad."

Like a patriarch, Lu Jianguo said directly: "Dongzi wants to venture into the university town, Chunzi, please take care of me." He specially emphasized: "Both of you, don't violate the principles, and don't discredit our family!"

The brothers quickly promised.

"All aspects of the university city are currently being loosely controlled, but they will be stricter in the future." Lu Chun planned for a rainy day and pondered for a while: "I will introduce someone to you, and I will go to the county town with me at night and have a meal together."

Lu Dong said, "Okay."

Lu Chun was originally on the front line of the grassroots, and the introduction is probably also on the front line.

Sometimes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

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

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

Lu Chun smiled and said, "Dad, Dongzi and I are brothers. Don't worry, we don't bully others, but we can't let others bully us." He checked 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 and filled 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. He greeted Hu Chunlan and rode his bicycle. Go to Lujia Village.

Diaojuan's fish shop is at the entrance of Diaojiazhuang village, which is also the market street of Diaojiazhuang. Unlike Lujiacun's big market, which has declined and disappeared, Diaojiazhuang has a big market every five days.

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

Parked in front of the door was a brand new Yamaha 80 underbone motorcycle with a welded steel frame and a new large trailer.

The little orange Jialing and the slightly worn-out big trailer were parked alone in the corner.

This is a major equipment upgrade.

"Big sister!" Seeing Diao Juan who was busy cleaning the car, Lu Dong untied the bucket from the back seat of the car: "The catfish is here."

Diao Juan put down the rag, went over to look at it, grabbed two more and turned them upside down: "According to what I said in the morning, it costs 3 yuan a catty."

Recently, the price of catfish has increased significantly, but it is not a festival or a year, and it has basically reached the end. Lu Dong said happily: "Okay, check the scale."

There were nearly 20 catfish, and the smallest one weighed more than a catty. After weighing, Diao Juan gave Lu Dong 136 yuan.

After collecting the money, Lu Dong's eyes fell on the brand new Yamaha 80 motorcycle: "Sister, it's new? Isn't it cheap?"

Diao Juan patted the car seat: "It cost more than 7,000 yuan to modify the bucket belt."

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

"Who says it's not!" Diao Juan bought a new car and was in a good mood: "Three years ago, Jialing's set was only over 2,000."

Lu Dong smiled flatteringly: "The old car is replaced with a new car, big sister, your upgrade speed is fast enough."

Diao Juan seemed modest: "There are people who buy cars in the village. I can compare myself with others. Now there are more rich people. 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: "Big brother, do you want it?"

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