The Era of Hard Work

Hearing the words emergency in the world, Lu Dong looked at the shop assistants on the first floor, worried about Hu Bin's face, and said, Go upstairs and talk.

He went up the stairs in front of him, and Hu Bin followed from behind.

Going upstairs, Hu Bin saw the spacious space, the newly renovated floor and walls, and his eyes rolled around.

Dongzi, your store is really big, and the decoration is also beautiful! Hu Bin said with a smile: The small canteen in our factory is used to entertain the leaders. The decoration is not as good as yours.

He specifically asked, Do you charge for the money? No one can't afford fifty or sixty thousand, right?

Lu Dong didn't answer Hu Bin's question, but greeted him: Brother, sit down wherever you want. Then he asked: Are you thirsty?

Hu Bin was not polite to Lu Dong at all: Just a bottle of Coke.

You wait. Lu Dong went downstairs, took a bottle of Coke, and asked Fu Zhaoxia to charge it to his account, and deduct a piece of salary at the end of the month.

Going upstairs, gave Hu Bin the Coke, and Lu Dong asked, How did you find this place?

Hu Bin unscrewed the Coke, took a sip, and said, I heard that you were hanging out in the university town, so I came here. I inquired in the market in front, and it turned out that you opened this store.

He repeated the old saying: Dongzi, you are developed!

Lu Dong said: This shop is opened by a group of friends, and I am one of the shareholders.

Hu Bin's words are very purposeful: You are a mobile phone, and you are also opening a store. You are doing well. Don't forget your brother and me! He sighed: The efficiency of the garment factory is not good, and several I haven't paid my salary for a month, so I can't get rid of it.

There is a packaging factory under the clothing factory, and Lu Dong just asked them to order a batch of plastic lunch boxes that are easy to carry, so he knew something about it: Didn't it mean that clothing factories, chemical fertilizer factories, meat joint factories and construction companies are the most profitable in the county? A lot of people have raised funds to get in.”

Hu Bin frowned and said, Dongzi, you don't believe me.

If it wasn't a bad bet, Lu Dong would be willing to believe what Hu Bin said: No, I just dealt with people from a garment factory and had some business dealings.

Hu Bin simply didn't go around in circles: Dongzi, you have good conditions, so why should you give your old cousin a hand! We are cousins, aren't we?

Lu Dong remained silent, waiting for Hu Bin to continue.

It's almost a problem for me to eat. Hu Bin made up the words when he said it: I borrowed some money from my colleagues, and my colleagues chased after it all day long. It's not a problem...

He looked at Lu Dong, saw that Lu Dong hadn't expressed anything, and said, Dongzi, lend me three thousand yuan, and I'll return it to you after my salary is paid later.

Before coming here, he only wanted to borrow a few hundred dollars. Seeing the store opened by Lu Dong, wouldn't a few hundred dollars look down on Lu Dong?

Lu Dong looked at Hu Bin and didn't speak for a moment. He was not a sticky person, and said, I don't have any money...

Hu Bin was a little anxious: I inquired in the market. It's full of university towns. Your business is good. Is there no money in your store?

Lu Dong said directly: The store was opened by many of us in partnership, and the money in the store is not mine. He raised his hand to stop Hu Bin from continuing: Cousin, help the world, when everyone is in trouble, I will help you. Understood! I have someone from the clothing factory on the phone, let me ask, if it is really difficult...

What are you asking? Hu Bin put his hands on the table: Just say, do you want to borrow it?

Lu Dong tentatively asked, Are you playing cards again?

Hu Bin crossed his chest and stared at him, but didn't speak.

Lu Dong understood: Stop playing cards! This is a bottomless pit!

Hu Bin raised his voice unconsciously: I know! What do you need to say? Seeing that Lu Dong mentioned this, he no longer concealed it: In playing cards, there are winners and losers. I'm just unlucky for a while. Win it back!

Lu Dong spread his hands: I really have no money.

He will not fill such a bottomless pit.

Downstairs, just as Song Na came over, she heard a faint quarrel from above, and asked, Lv Dong is up there, what's going on?

Fu Zhaoxia said in a low voice: Cousin Lu Dong is here, and the two of you are talking on it.

Hearing a strange voice getting louder, Song Na was hesitating whether to go up and have a look, when the sound of dense footsteps came down from the stairs, a tall and thin young man came down from above, looked at the people on the first floor, and walked towards the door without saying a word .

Return to relatives? Return to cousins? A dissatisfied voice came over: Is there such a relative?

Song Na didn't understand what happened.

Before leaving the store, the tall and thin man opened the freezer at the door, took out a bottle of Coke and picked it up.

Just as Fu Zhaoxia was about to speak, Song Na stopped her.

Lu Dong came down from the stairs, feeling a little helpless, and said, Charge it to my account.

Song Na looked at Lu Dong with concern: What's going on?

I'll talk about it later. Lu Dong hurried out.

Hu Bin had already got on his motorcycle, got out of the small square, got on the road, and ran towards the county town along Xuefu Road.

Song Na followed from behind.

There was no one else at the door, so Lu Dong briefly talked about Hu Bin borrowing money to gamble, and said helplessly: I wanted to lend me 3,000 yuan, but I didn't borrow it. Maybe I will complain.

Song Na thought for a while, and said: If you really lend it to him, can he not gamble? He must jump into the fire pit with the money! You borrowed it for the first time, and this kind of thing will never end. I came to ask you to borrow money to gamble? Will you borrow it then? If you borrow it, he won’t pay it back, do you want it?”

There is no way to get the best of both worlds in similar matters, so Lu Dong stopped thinking about it and said, You are right, I am not capable of filling this kind of bottomless pit.

In fact, the situation of playing cards in rural areas is very serious. No matter young or old, there are several such people in Song Na Village.

Song Na thought of something and was a little bit worried. After all, Lu Dong was already rich, so she asked specifically: Last time, Uncle Qi said that he won a lot of money from the traffickers when he arrested them. Do you usually play?

Lu Dong said: Uncle Qi and I both know how to fight, but we don't.

Song Na didn't understand: Can you fight? Don't you?

Lu Dong simply explained: During the Chinese New Year, when you are free, a few people get together to play cards and play mahjong. They usually take poker cards or stickers. You have seen my third grandfather. If someone dares to play money, he can send it to the police station with his own hands. .”

Song Na remembered the old man with thick eyebrows like swords. According to the words in the movie, he was the talker of Lujia Village.

Thinking about it carefully, someone who can restrain someone like Uncle Qi must be very prestigious.

Huang Yong came out from the nearby store, saw Lu Dong and Song Na, walked over a few steps, and said, Lu Dong, Xiao Song, I will open here tomorrow, come over here when you are free?

Song Na said truthfully, Brother Huang, I have class in the morning.

It's okay. Huang Yong pinched the big gold ring: It's important to attend class.

Lu Dong said with a smile: I have full authority to represent our store.

Huang Yong sent an invitation to Lu Dong and said, I'll go to another house.

When he went north, Lu Dong said: When we opened, Brother Huang and his wife sent flower baskets. I'll order two and deliver them tomorrow.

Song Na echoed: Just make up your mind.

The two of them were about to go back to the store when someone came out from the industrial and commercial building being renovated in the east, and Sui Bo greeted Lu Dong with a red invitation card: Hello, Lu Dong.

The two stores were not far apart, and when they looked up and looked down, Lu Dong smiled and nodded: Hello.

Sui Bo sent an invitation: Tomorrow my small supermarket will open, so thank you! Thank you!

It is impossible for Lu Dong to slap someone in the face, so take it.

Sui Bo said angrily, went to the north, and continued to send invitations.

Song Na took the invitation from the back, opened it and took a look: The two supermarkets are so close to each other, and they opened on the same day. Are they going to match?

Lu Dong shook his head: Who knows what he was thinking.

The Malatang shop here opened, and Lu Dong sent invitations next to him. There was no movement at Sui Bo, so he didn't plan to go there.

Besides, Sui Bo's daughter-in-law, it's better not to see her.

Making a fuss on the spot not only creates trouble for others, but also troubles oneself.

Unexpectedly, if there were no invitations, they would come one after another.

Song Na went back to school, Lu Dong went back to the store, Yang Guoqiang and Ma Yunlai came together.

Welcome, welcome. Lu Dong was very polite: Why are you two free?

Ma Yunlai followed Yang Guoqiang, and Yang Guoqiang said with a smile, Lu Dong, Fat Sheep Hot Pot opened on Saturday morning, please show me your appreciation!

Fang Yan was going to Lujia Village on Saturday, and Lu Dong said directly: Unfortunately, I have something to do at home on Saturday, so I can't make it through. He added: I will definitely send someone to attend.

Ma Yun came to see Lu Dong, handed the invitation to Yang Guoqiang, and Yang Guoqiang handed it to Lu Dong: Be sure to honor me.

Lu Dong was polite, and Yang Guoqiang and Yang Guoqiang left.

After leaving the store, Ma Yun looked at the white sign with red eyes and said, Recently, his business here is very good, and he is a little bit drifting.

Yang Guoqiang's temperament is calm: Let's open the store smoothly first, and then talk about other things.

Ma Yunlai nodded: Yes, we are the leader of Qingzhao catering!

The two of them went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank to send invitations, and when they were done, Ma Yunlai rushed back to the county town before it was too dark, found a place to have a quick meal, drove into Chengguancun Hutong, and came to Shitou Home.

The game was quickly assembled, and several people took out their money and fought fiercely.

Just as it was hitting, the dog barked outside, and the stone went out. After a while, a tall and thin man came in.

Ma Yun took a look and said, Wenwu, didn't you run out of money yesterday?

Hu Bin smiled flatteringly: Brother Ma, I've made some more.

Shi Shi asked, Did you borrow it from your cousin?

Don't mention it, that bastard thing, the six relatives don't recognize it! Hu Bin couldn't help but said: I opened a small two-hundred-square-meter shop in the university town, and the decoration is the same as the No. 1 hall of the county guest house. I just said that I have no money, not a dime. Pull! Kiss my cousin, he has the guts to say it!

Ma Yunlai threw away the cards in his hand, and asked, Wenwu, you're talking about Lu Dong who opened a Mala Tang shop at the central intersection of University City, right?

Hu Bin was full of resentment: It's not him!

Ma Yunlai seemed to say casually: It's the best store in the university town, earning thousands of dollars a day.

Don't talk about him! Hu Bin said: Brother Ma, let's play cards!

Ma Yunlai smiled: Okay, let's play cards.

Hu Bin made up all kinds of excuses to borrow about a hundred yuan from his classmates, but he couldn't hold on at all, and he bottomed out in a while.

Hu Bin was a little anxious because he had nowhere to borrow money.

Ma Yunlai counted out five hundred yuan and threw it to Hu Bin: I lent it to you.

Hu Bin has never borrowed money from here, and he dare not take it out, fearing that the interest will not be repaid.

Ma Yunlai said: There is no interest, I just see that you are a good match, if not, let's make a written statement.

Hearing that there was no interest, Hu Bin couldn't help picking it up, took the pen and paper sent by Shi Shi, and wrote an IOU for Ma Yunlai.
