The Era of Hard Work

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was another big Ningxiu fair. Taking advantage of the time when there were no masters, Lu Dong walked around the courtyard. Today, including his group, there were a total of six fireworks sellers.

There is one more family than the previous episode.

Lu Dong chatted with someone and got a general understanding. This is a person who was punished in the last episode. He got a temporary certificate, but sold private goods. He went in to receive safety education, found a very suitable relationship, and paid a fine of 8,000. It was only after I got back my documents that I was able to continue to come back for the big market.

According to him, the remaining people can only wait for a year to find a way to sell their goods.

There is also a wave of peak demand on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but it is not that there is no sale at all.

As soon as he came back, Lu Dong found that someone drove a small truck and parked in front of the booth while it was early, and went around the car. Zhao Juanjuan and the two women were talking to Song Na.

Zhao Juanjuan still has long wavy hair, a fitted red woolen coat, and light makeup on her face. She is definitely a fashionable person in this county fair.

Many people on the road looked this way frequently.

Sister Juan, why are you here? Lu Dong took a few steps quickly.

Zhao Juanjuan said with a smile, I happened to see Xiao Song when I was buying fireworks. I haven't seen her for a while, and her accent has changed a little bit, which is close to Quan Pu's meaning: I buy it from anyone, and I buy it from you. gone.

Lu Dong said: Sister Juan, you can choose whatever you want, and I will count the cost for you.

Don't. Zhao Juanjuan said: This is not a business by you alone, I spend money to buy it, and I want to get a lottery! This year, I will go back to my hometown with the old money. In my first year, I will go back bright and bright, and it will be booming!

Lu Dong understood that when Zhao Juanjuan married Qian Rui, there must have been a lot of gossips, and the most gossiping ones were undoubtedly her hometown village and Qian Rui's hometown village.

Everyone needs face, and Zhao Juanjuan must show her dignity when she followed Qian Rui back to her hometown for the New Year in the first year.

Hei Dan. Lu Dong thought about the convenience of women and women: You accompany sister Juan to choose.

Song Na led Zhao Juanjuan to the booth: Sister Juan, the samples are all here. Which one do you like, tell me the quantity.

Zhao Juanjuan still smiled brightly: Okay.

A woman in her forties who followed her seemed worried that Zhao Juanjuan would suffer from her acquaintances, so she quietly walked away without telling anyone, and went to other stalls to ask for prices.

This is understandable, many businessmen specialize in killing.

What Zhao Juanjuan wanted was enough to fill a trailer of a Jialing truck, and Lu Dong and Qiao Weiguo helped her load it into the pickup truck.

The woman who went to another booth came back early, counted the inside of the carriage carefully, pulled Zhao Juanjuan aside, and whispered, According to other people's prices, at most seven thousand yuan.

Zhao Juanjuan laughed and said in a low voice, Third Aunt, don't worry too much, I know Lu Dong well.

The woman stopped talking.

After Lu Dong finished loading the goods, he saw other customers coming to the booth, took a calculator, and showed Zhao Juanjuan the number of 3500.

Zhao Juanjuan looked at it and shook her head again and again: Don't! You can't lose money in business.

Lu Dong said: It's definitely not a loss, sister Juan, you don't know me yet, how can I be so busy?

Without saying a word, Zhao Juanjuan counted out 5,000 yuan from her pocket, and handed it to Lu Dong: This is not a business by you alone, or I will not be polite to you.

Seeing that Lu Dong would not accept it, Zhao Juanjuan handed it to Song Na: Xiao Song, take it. She said to Lu Dong, Let's not fight here, it's not good looking.

Song Na declined a few words, and saw customers coming one after another, so she accepted it.

At this time, Lu Jianren came over with a box and put it in the carriage: Okay, don't argue.

He put a box of fireworks worth hundreds of dollars.

Zhao Juanjuan greeted her and asked someone to drive away.

Song Na put away the money and said, Sister Juan is a fastidious person.

Lu Dong said: Can ordinary people afford to live with old money?

That's right. Song Na had an impression of Qian Rui.

At the Ningxiu Fair today, there were more people than the previous one, and the fireworks sold out quickly. Before ten o'clock, Lu Jianren rode his Jialing motorcycle back to collect goods, and ran back and forth three times in the morning.

The industrial and commercial inspectors came again, but they only looked at the documents and did not search for the goods. Seeing that Lu Dong's documents were complete, he told him to pay attention to fire prevention and left.

Those who can still sell fireworks on a large scale in Daji during this time period will undoubtedly have a good year.

Not only has the momentum, but the profits are surprisingly high.

On the south side of Daji, a couple of girls in red down jackets walked along the crowd, chatting from time to time.

Sister! The younger girl was about fourteen or fifteen: Sister Linlin! We're almost there, just ahead.

Hearing that the little girl was called Sister Linlin, the 18-nine-year-old girl laughed: Second brother, steal your household registration book when you have time, and I will take you to change your name. I asked Lu Dong about it, and it's not difficult.

The little girl said: I have already thought about it, your name is Liu Linlin, and my name is Liu Sisi.

Liu Linlin smiled, with a few pimples on her face that were not obvious: Okay! She turned to ask, You're right? Didn't he set up a stall in the university town to sell things? Why did he go to the market?

The younger girl said: I went to ask Li Wenyue in the courtyard of the brigade in Lujia Village. Others may deceive people, but Li Wenyue probably wouldn't. He said that Lu Dong wholesaled some fireworks and set up a stall to sell firecrackers.

Hearing this, a picture flashed in front of Liu Linlin: there was a strip of cloth on the side of the road, with firecrackers, Ertijiao and small hand flowers on it, and the sturdy young man moved a horse and sat behind, waiting for people to come to buy things .

Bad business, right? How has Lu Dong been in the past six months?

The little girl pulled her forward: What do you want? Hurry up, we'll be there.

Liu Linlin nodded and walked forward with her sister. Not far away, there was an empty wheat threshing field on the side of the road. The field was very large and empty, and only five or six places were full of people.

There were a lot of people around, and from the firecrackers hanging high, it could be seen that they were selling fireworks.

It's there! The little girl pointed to a tricycle near the entrance of the threshing field: I saw Lu Dong, in the car! The one carrying boxes!

Liu Linlin also saw it, and she recognized the tall figure in the car at a glance.

Going forward, getting closer and closer, people can see more clearly.

The change is a bit big.

Wearing a black cotton hat with dust on his head, his somewhat simple and honest face was tanned, the black padded jacket on his upper body was dusty, and his lower body was casually wearing sports pants. It is gray.

Then, people jumped out of the car and couldn't see it.

There are too many people around, it is almost airtight.

The yard is very large, and there are many free places. Liu Linlin took her sister to walk in, turned to the inside, and saw the situation clearly.

It was completely different from the small street stall she had imagined. The stall was very large. The long table alone was placed nearly ten meters away. There were many kinds of fireworks and firecrackers on it. There were five people standing behind it. The oldest one moved boxes and opened boxes to deliver goods , the other four young people, including Lu Dong, were busy selling things.

She also grew up in the countryside. She often went to the market before she went to college, and she could tell at a glance that the business was very good.

All the way through Bijin Daji, the business of any stall I saw was good.

Among the sellers, I don't know the one with the bald head, nor the one with the dirty Nike sportswear, but the slightly dark woman looks familiar.

Come to think of it, the physical education student at the same level, I can't remember the exact name, she didn't have much interaction with the physical education student in high school.

Sister, aren't you going to say hello? the little girl asked.

Liu Linlin said, It's busy over there, wait a minute.

After waiting for twenty minutes, the number of people in front of the booth only increased, not decreased.

The little girl stomped her feet coldly: This is too busy, you are too embarrassed to go, I will go!

It was close to noon, and the four sellers began to take turns to eat. The girl with a little dark skin came out to eat first, eating sesame seed cakes with white water.

The little girl was so cold that she couldn't stand it, and when Liu Linlin wasn't paying attention, she ran over and said, Can you call Lu Dong for me?

Song Na looked up, she was a girl she didn't know, she nodded: Okay, you are...

The little girl turned her finger behind: My sister is looking for him.

Song Na looked over and immediately recognized him. After all, he was the person who caused a sensation in Qingzhao No. 1 Middle School last summer. She had heard about it more than once from Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, and knew that this person was their classmate from the beginning.

She ate the remaining biscuits in two mouthfuls and exchanged them for Lu Dong: Liu Zhaodi is looking for you!

Lu Dong had just finished paying a bill, and there was a commotion in the booth, and he couldn't hear clearly: Who is looking for me?

Song Na leaned directly to his ear: Liu Zhaodi!

Lu Dong heard it clearly this time, turned around, saw the little girl first, and greeted with a smile: Come again, long time no see.

Then, I saw someone not far away.

The person is not very tall, just over 1.6 meters in height, with a long ponytail tied behind his head, three-dimensional features on his fair melon-seeded face, and a few inconspicuous pimples. He is wearing white A short down jacket and light blue jeans look neat and tidy.

Lu Dong strode over and greeted: Zhao Di, when did you come back?

After finishing speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, smiled, and asked, Just came back?

I just arrived this morning. Liu Linlin didn't bow her head, she just stood here, her voice was still low, somewhat shy: How is your business?

Lu Dong is still the same old way: Busy around, do some small business, and support the family.

Liu Linlin smiled slightly: Very good.

Lu Dong asked, Have you changed your name?

Yeah. Liu Linlin nodded lightly: It's changed, it's done at school.

When it came to changing her name, Liu Linlin inexplicably gained more courage. She remembered the etiquette she learned when she worked part-time in a training institution, and stretched out her right hand: Re-recognize me, I am Liu Linlin.

Lu Dong froze for a moment, then he came to his senses and shook hands with her: I am Lu Dong, your old classmate.

He understood what Liu Zhaodi...no, what Liu Linlin meant, it meant a new life.

Lu Dong let go after holding it for a while, and said, My hands are full of calluses, don't pinch you.

Liu Linlin withdrew her hand: No, I'm also from the countryside, not a delicate city girl.

The two talked a few more words, but Liu Linlin didn't talk much.

Dongzi, what are you doing!

Suddenly, Lu Jianren's roar came from behind: I'm too busy! Come back and help, I want to go back to fetch goods!
