The Era of Hard Work

You are not white. The female classmate pointed at Lu Dong's face.

Lu Dong touched his face and said, It's drying out from work. He asked, What's the matter, it's not as dark as you coming out of the coal mine.

The female classmate raised her arm, compared with Lu Dong, and found that she was indeed darker than Lu Dong, and said, I also got sunburned, working in the open air, so I can't be white. This year's weather is not good. It rained in the mountains recently, and it rained for a while. The sun came out for a while, and just after drenching, the sun came out again, so it was not white at first, but it changed like this.

She is from the mountainous area in the south of Qingzhao, her name is Song Na, she is a sports student specially recruited by Qingzhao No. 1 Middle School, she specializes in high jump, she has been black since she was a child, and everyone around her called her Heidan, so this name was brought to the school.

It's a skill to be able to be black enough to shine brightly. Lu Dong is very familiar with the sports students of the same level. He is in good physical condition. He practiced sports for a while, but then voluntarily gave up because he was required to practice weightlifting.

Lu Chun told him that this sport seriously damages the body.

Song Na shrugged her shoulders: It's a technical job. The quarry looked at the pulverizer and pushed the stones. I didn't completely turn into a black person. Thanks to the dust, I didn't have a thick layer of dust on my body. I really became an African.

Lu Dong's eyes fell on Song Na's hand, which obviously had worn out blood blisters and calluses: You're a girl, what do you do for this job?

Song Na flipped her palms openly, revealing calluses on her hands: It's not more tiring than usual training, how can I earn money in the mountains? Except stones are trees, I have to earn tuition fees. I saw Liu Zhaodi just now, and she was not doing well. Take it easy, you're all sunburned.

Life is not easy, and it is even more difficult in the mountains. Song Na asked, How did you do in the exam?

Lu Dong didn't evade: As usual, what about you?

Song Na said: More than you, I got more than 500 in the exam.

Lu Dong was helpless: You are a physical education student, you have passed the test in your major, and you have more than 500 points in the culture test!

Song Na put away her smile, a little heavy: You don't need to ask for help when you go to the sports college. It's not like you don't know about the bad things about the sports group. If you pass the exam, don't worry about them. The sports college is in the university town, close to home, It's convenient for anything.

She was also worried: It's not easy to pay for tuition fees, and I have to crush stones and push stones when I go back. I'm in Woshan this summer vacation.

Lu Dong was a little impressed: Be self-reliant and self-reliant.

Song Na told the truth: What can I do if I don't improve myself? My parents are farmers. Fortunately, I am the only one in the family. Back then, the No. 1 Middle School valued my high jump and exempted tuition fees. I can't study in high school.

Lu Dong nodded and reminded her: Wear a mask and do some protection. If you absorb too much dust, you will have problems with your body.

Although some universities still provide subsidies and the like, until now, it is not easy for a family with an average family to provide for a college student.

Qingzhao southern mountainous area is more difficult.

Speaking of which, Song Na's condition is worse than his family's.

I know. Song Na asked with concern: What about you, what are your plans after school?

Lu Dong simply said: Do some small business first, and then I will go to the university city.

Song Na smiled: The university town is good, and we can often see it.

A child about ten years old came from the right, looked first at Song Na, then at Lu Dong, obviously knew Lu Dong, and stopped in the distance.

Song Na raised the alarm: Guo Ying's son is here.

This kid is quite famous in No. 1 Middle School.

Before Lu Dong spoke, the child shouted at him: You make a pen!

After finishing speaking, the child sauntered into the teaching building, fearing that Lu Dong would catch up.

Seems like a really fun game.

Little kid! Song Na couldn't help it.

The bear boy stopped at the back door, and cursed at Song Na again: You're a bitch!

Turn around and run into the teaching building.

Song Na resisted the urge to hit someone, and she also knew that it was impossible to do anything to this little kid: Guo Ying, a poor kid, relies on his father to scold whoever he sees, and every time he comes to school with his dad, he scolds a bunch of people. , I really want to beat him.

Lu Dong told the truth: If you really hit him, you will be in trouble.

While talking, I saw the little kid running out from the back door of the teaching building again.

Afterwards, the two young teachers went out the back door, and one of them was very angry: Damn child!

Another said: Children, don't be common sense.

These two teachers are also victims.

Song Na couldn't help but said: If I want a fucking mother, I must slap him to death!

You're better!

There was another voice of cursing vaguely.

Lu Dong pretended not to hear. After more than ten years of Internet development, there are too many brats to be seen.

There is no need for a reason, nor does it depend on the occasion.

One after another, people came out of the teaching building and moved stools to the playground to gather for a meeting. This should be the last meeting of everyone's high school career.

Li Wenyue moved a stool over by himself and greeted Lu Dong: Aren't you going?

Lu Dong took the stool and put it under the shade of the tree: Wen Yue, Heidan, sit down. Keep calm, are you going to bask in the sun?

On a hot day, there is no shelter on the playground, so going early is pure suffering.

Song Na was not in a hurry, and sat down on Lu Dong's left. Li Wenyue looked at the bright sun on the playground, and thought of his thin body, so he simply sat down too.

As a result, some people who were familiar with Lu Dong and Song Na gathered around to chat.

Tian Chuanjie, a few sports students, gathered more and more people, and soon there were more than a dozen.

Talking about the college entrance examination, talking about the World Cup, talking about the future, talking about interesting things about classmates...

Those who are admitted to university will have a bright future.

Those who fail the ranking also have infinite possibilities in the future.

The college entrance examination, for ordinary people, has tried its best to be fair and just.

This is also the best chance for ordinary people to change their destiny.

Of course, not the only chance.

Everyone chatted happily, because they were relatively young and they were from the same county, so they didn't have much sadness about parting.

A group of people around the age of eighteen did not cherish each other, nor did they agree to have a dinner, some just talked and laughed.

It seems to be far away from society.

But even in high school, it might be the last time some people see each other.

The number of students coming out of the teaching building decreased, and some teachers also began to go to the playground.

Tian Dabang advertised for his cousin's sister: Anyone who wants to work in the south told me that my sister will lead the way and earn a lot of money. Those who want to go find me in Diaojiazhuang...

He added Diaojiazhuang near the university town, and a village that received Lu Dongyu.

Most people didn't respond, they worked part-time, and didn't think about it for the time being.

Seven or eight people came out from the back door of the teaching building. In the center was Liu Zhaodi, accompanied by Guo Ying.

A man in his fifties wearing thick glasses said to Liu Zhaodi while walking: Student Zhaodi, if you have any difficulties, don't worry about your family. The education committee and the county have already done your father's work. He is the leader of Liuwan. Obey organizational discipline!

Guo Ying answered, In the afternoon, I'll go to Zhaodi's house again.

Knowing that he is Liu Zhaodi's class teacher, Thick Glasses told him emphatically: You must keep up with your work and dispel the emotions of your parents. It is the glory of Qingzhao County to recruit students.

He also had a headache when he thought of the patriarchal parent whose patriarchy was written in his bones and shown on his face.

Whoever chose Liu Wan as the leader played the piano like crazy!

Seeing a group of classmates and leaders coming from the teaching building, the people gathered on Lu Dong's side were about to disperse.

In the sound of croaking footsteps, the bear child ran over, and just about to speak, Song Na had an idea, suddenly widened her eyes, and got up to chase after him.

The bear child was timid, rushed to his father, glanced at the thick glasses, and asked casually: Your child?

Yes. Like most parents, Guo Ying pulled the child to meet the leader: Grandpa.

Why is a bear child a bear child? Because bears don't care about the occasion, let alone a brat who wants to scold everyone he sees.

There were seven or eight people around, and while a dozen or so people were watching, the bear boy opened his mouth and yelled out the words he had yelled countless times today: You're so big!

In an instant, within a radius of tens of meters, all sounds disappeared and there was complete silence.

Song Na covered her mouth and suppressed a smile, her bright black face squeezed into a dahlia because of the hard work she endured.

The thick glasses are very big, Wen Yan said: It's okay, Tongyan Wuji.

The people around laughed and walked towards the playground rostrum together, Guo Ying was the last one.

Guo Ying glared: Bear stuff! Watch me go back and clean you up.

The bear child started to cry, and scolded Guo Ying: You're a bitch!

Before the leaders came over, Lu Dong glanced at Song Na and greeted everyone: Go to the playground, hurry up.

No one is a fool, they swarmed away and headed to the playground for their class.

Lu Dong and Li Wenyue sat on the same stool, and they were at the back of the class. Song Na was in the next class and didn't bring a stool, so she continued to sit with them.

How is it? Song Na winked at Lu Dong, Have you vented your anger?

Thank you. Lu Dong noticed that even Song Na's eyelids were black and shiny.

The principal above was talking, while Lu Dong, Song Na, and Li Wenyue muttered below.

The two class teachers saw it, but they didn't care.

At this time, as long as there is no disturbance, the teacher will open and close his eyes.

Song Na asked Li Wenyue: I just heard you said you were working. What are you doing?

Li Wenyue said in a low voice: Write and do calculations for the brigade, voluntary labor.

Song Na said: I'm still thinking, what you can do with your small body, I can do it too, let you take me to make money together.

Hearing this, Lu Dong thought of one thing and asked, Heidan, do you have mountain buffalo in your house?

Brother Niu from Shilipu asked him last time, but Ningxiu Town basically has no mountains and wasteland, and the number of mountains, waters and cattle is so small that it can be ignored.

Just because Song Na plotted against that brat, she was also helping him.

Yes! After the rain, go out in the forest or on the hillside. Song Na was curious: Do you want to eat? I'll grab some for you later.

Lu Dong explained in a low voice: In the Shilibao market, there are people who specialize in harvesting mountain buffaloes.

Song Na is not stupid, the child of the poor has long been in charge of the family: How much money?

Lu Dong recalled Brother Niu's words: I didn't ask carefully, probably around twenty.

At that time, Brother Niu said that because it is rare, it is more expensive than cicada monkeys.

Twenty! Song Na was a little surprised: I've heard people say that you can get paid, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive! It's more expensive than I can push stones for a day.

But Shanshui cattle are not like cicadas, they only come out a lot when it rains, Song Na calculated in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: Continue to work on Fen Shizi, catch Shanshui cattle at night when it rains, as a side job...

Lu Dong reminded: Sell it in time and keep it alive.

Li Wenyue looked at Lu Dong, and then at Song Na. He couldn't get into the conversation between them, like an outsider.

Song Na said to Lu Dong again: Ten Mile Fort Market? I'll take a look at it sometime.

Lu Dong briefly talked about Brother Niu's bunk: Go and ask, the owner of this shop is not bad.

After the meeting was over, Lu Dong didn't know what was being said specifically, so he went back to the classroom to get his high school diploma, and prepared to go back with Li Wenyue.

There is still an afternoon to continue catching things to make money.

After leaving the school gate, someone was squatting on the curb next to the bicycle. When he saw Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, he immediately ran over.

Brother Dong, Qiao Siliang wants to bring someone to block you! It was Li Lin, the nephew of Lu Dong's aunt.

(Thirteen is just a scumbag at school, and I have never been welcomed by teachers since I was a child. Just look at these things, and in individual cases, don't take them too seriously.)

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