The Era of Hard Work

Boss, I buy a lot of things, it's cheaper.

In front of the booth, a male college student with five years old and three men with a rough appearance said to Lu Dong, I'm from the School of Finance. I heard that your products are cheaper than those in the store, so I came here specially.

When Lu Dong moved here, he posted a relocation notice, and students from the School of Finance would come to buy things from time to time.

Okay! Lu Dong was not dead-headed.

The five-year-old and three-year-old male student tentatively asked, Did you wipe off the change when you settled the accounts?

Lu Dong has always done this, just in time to see Song Na coming by on a bicycle, and casually replied: No problem.

Song Na carried two small woven bags on the beam of her bicycle, parked the car and moved down.

Both Lu Dong and Qiao Weiguo were calling for business, so they didn't have time to help.

Farm girls who often work can move down by themselves without help.

The five-year-old and three-year-old male students asked about the price and selected a lot of things. They should not only buy for themselves, but also bought several items of one kind of goods.

For example, he took three boxes of essential oils, three boxes of soap and so on.

Boss, settle the score. He handed the selected items to Lu Dong.

Lu Dong did some calculations and said, It's 64 in total, just give me 60.

The five-year-old male student said, Is this account wrong? Before Lu Dong could speak, he picked up the goods and said, Three boxes of essential oils, a total of 12, 10 yuan after deducting the change; three boxes of soap 13 yuan, 5 yuan The change is also 10 yuan; the three plastic pots are 15 yuan, and the change is still 10 yuan, and...

Lu Dong stopped him from continuing: Student, according to your calculation, I can't do this business.

People can't judge by appearance, such a tall and thick man is so calculating.

The five-year-old and three-year-old male student was unhappy: Boss, you have to keep what you say, let's make a deal to erase the odds.

Lu Dong has seen this kind of petty cleverness who is greedy for cheap, and knows how to deal with it. He said with a smile: Student, 60 yuan, two-way choice for business, you think it's expensive, and I can't force you.

The five-year-old and three-year-old male student muttered a few words, and finally took out the money.

He took out a convenience bag to pack his things, and before the boy left, Lu Dong handed him a plastic fan with a purchase price of 50 cents: It's not easy for you to come here, so I'll give you a fan.

The male student took advantage and immediately laughed: Boss, you are righteous, I will come to you next time.

Lu Dong smiled and waved: Okay, go slowly.

Next to it, Song Na spread two pieces of plastic sheeting, one with some walnuts poured on it, and the other was temporarily empty, she was taking things out of the woven bag.

Such people often come across? Song Na looked at the male student walking away.

Lu Dong didn't have any customers at the meeting, so he walked a few steps over there and said, Everyone wants to be greedy for petty gains, that's normal.

Song Na took out a sunflower flower plate: You have a good attitude, not like before.

Lu Dong said very naturally: In the past two months after school, I've seen a lot of people and things, and found that I was too naive and ignorant in school before, just making jokes.

Song Na picked a big flower plate and threw it over: You grow it yourself, try it.

Lu Dong caught it, and went back, pointing to the one she just put on the plastic sheet: It's too big, just give me a small one.

Without waiting for Song Na's consent, he put down the big one, picked the smallest one, snapped it apart, gave one piece to Qiao Weiguo, and gave another piece to Old Zhao, who sells sesame seed cakes in the east.

Raw melon seeds are not very delicious, but they are actually fresh.

Song Na picked up a big walnut, dropped it on the ground several times, opened it and picked out the walnut kernel, and handed it to Lu Dong: Taste it.

Lu Dong took it and threw it into his mouth, it was a bit astringent, more sweet and fragrant.

All grown by your family? Lu Dong asked.

Song Na threw two walnuts to Qiao Weiguo, and replied, In mountainous areas, the grain yield is low.

Qiao Weiguo looked at the hard-skinned walnuts in his hand, and at Lv Dong's walnut kernels, wondering why.

He gave one walnut to Lao Zhao, and put the other on the checkered brick. He raised his palm with his fingers, adjusted his breath with luck, and slapped it down.

Snapped--

Qiao Weiguo's hands trembled. Contrary to expectations, the walnuts were as stable as old dogs.

Look around, fortunately no one is paying attention, otherwise it will embarrass the teacher.

Sure enough, if you can't master Kungfu, you have to work harder.

He raised his palm again to be lucky, and took another hard shot.

Click——

Qiao Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, and kept shaking his hands behind his back. The walnut skin is too thick!

Recently, I followed Lu Dong to sell goods in the university city, and my practice was a bit wasteful. I have to start early tomorrow, and I can't stop my homework.

It was close to noon, and people from the school came out one after another. The business of the three stalls was good. Needless to say, the things Song Na sold were very common to rural people, but many students from the city were very curious. Sunflower dish.

Walnuts are not easy to open. Some students said.

Lu Dong happened to be right here: The door of the dormitory was opened, and the walnuts were stuffed in the crack of the door, and it opened after a squeeze.

The student thought for a while and said, It seems to work.

Lu Dong said, Absolutely.

Without professional walnut pliers, this is one of the relatively convenient ways to open walnuts, but it is not very good for the door.

Lu Dong felt that the students would definitely not mind.

The students were looking fresh, and Song Na didn't have a lot of things, so they sold quickly. After a while, she told Lu Dong, she simply dragged off the sunscreen, and continued to show up to help sell.

Now everyone advocates one white to cover three ugliness, not to mention the point where cosmetics dare not even say brightening. Song Na's living example is here, and sunscreen is selling very well.

At the multi-collection booth at seven o'clock, Song Na sold out all the walnuts and sunflower flower plates she had brought, and earned only a hundred yuan, but she helped Lu Dong sell sunscreen for more than four hundred yuan.

According to the business rules, Lu Dong wanted to give Song Na money, but Song Na said she didn't want anything.

Do you know how much I earned selling mountain and water cattle this summer? Song Na said seriously, It wasn't you who gave me the news, I didn't even know how to catch them, should I give you money too?

Lu Dong didn't say anything else, and planned to give Song Na a school start suit when she started school.

Mainly anti-mosquito and toiletries. As for sunscreen, I don't think Song Na would want it. It doesn't work for her.

In the past few days, the daytime is fine, but it is cloudy in the evening, and today is no exception.

Lu Dong pulled the trailer back, and when he was approaching the intersection of Liuwan, there was a thunderclap, and then raindrops fell, and the trailer was covered with a tarpaulin, so there was no need to worry about getting the rest of the goods wet.

The rain fell too fast, Lu Dong stopped the car and put on his raincoat, his body was almost soaked, the heavy rain blocked his sight, and he rode back slowly.

When approaching the entrance of the village, someone was riding a bicycle in front, it should be a woman.

Lu Dong passed by and took a look: Ms. Ming Lan? It's so late?

This seventh uncle married diagonally across the door, from the Li family in this village, and last time he gave them a fan from Pacific Insurance.

Her target was Second Uncle Li who helped Lu Dong stand on the platform at noon that day.

Seeing that it was Lu Dong, Lu Minglan wiped the rainwater off her face and said, There are people in Liuwan who want to get insurance. I'll go and have a look. I'm late.

It is not easy to run insurance, especially in the lower market, even in this era, the reputation of insurance is not good.

Ordinary people, if they want to make money, it is not easy to do anything.

Lu Minglan reminded: Dongzi, it's raining heavily, be careful!

Okay! Lu Dong replied.

Lu Dong quickly entered the village, walked north along the market street, and when he passed the door of Li Wenyue's house, Li Wenyue was standing at the bottom of the gate.

From far away, he shouted: Dongzi! Dongzi!

Lu Dong rode over and asked, What's the matter?

Li Wenyue stood by the rainwater and said, I asked someone today. Tian Dabang called Pan Dongzi after he went to the south, and I asked for his contact information.

Pan Dongzi is also nicknamed, Tian Chuanjie's deskmate in the third year of high school.

Lu Dong said, Give me the contact information, and I'll make a call to the brigade.

Li Wenyue was obviously waiting for Lu Dong here, and just about to give the paper in his hand, when he saw his drowned look, he simply picked up the umbrella next to him and opened it: I'll go with you, you go first, I'll be there in a while .”

Lu Dong nodded, and quickly rode his bicycle into the courtyard of the brigade. The lights in the brigade's office were on, and Lu Zhenlin and Li Wenyue, his second uncle, hadn't left yet.

Taking off his raincoat under the rain in front of the house, Lu Dong entered the house wet, called someone, and said, Third Grandpa, I want to make a call.

Call. Lu Zhenlin pointed to the phone on the other side.

In the Qingzhao area, there are still very few private individuals in rural areas who have telephones. Telephones and telephone charges are not expensive, but the expensive initial installation fee and landline fee can make people cry.

Lu Zhenlin and Li Wenyue's second uncle were discussing things. It seemed that Lu Zhenlin wanted to cut down and sell all the trees in the primary school as a start-up capital for Lu's village.

There are hundreds of big trees in the elementary school, dozens of which cannot be hugged by an adult, and there are many high-quality elms and pagoda trees, which can be called the largest collective property of Lujia Village.

The two of them just had such an idea, and they still had to plan for it.

Li Wenyue came over quickly. Lu Dong took the note and dialed the number on it. Someone picked it up there very quickly, and besides the voice of the person speaking, a chorus-like singing could be vaguely heard.

Are you classmate Tian Chuanjie? The southern accent on the opposite side, hearing the identity of the classmate, the voice seemed to be a little surprised: Wait a moment, my name is Chuanjie.

Chuanjie! Your classmate's phone number.

Soon, Tian Chuanjie's voice sounded from the receiver, and Lu Dong asked, Chuanjie, how are you doing over there?

Tian Chuanjie was very excited: Dongzi, I came here to open your eyes, the money is so easy to earn! Really! Come here quickly...

etc……

Before Lu Dong could speak, Tian Chuanjie continued to talk: It's really easy to earn, come here and I guarantee you will make a lot of money...

Lu Dong reminded Tian Chuanjie several times, but they were all interrupted without exception. Originally, he wanted to do work for Tian Chuanjie and came back, but later Tian Chuanjie passionately encouraged him to go to the south to make a fortune.

Tian Chuanjie fell into a certain kind of frenzy and couldn't listen at all. Lu Dong said something. I don't know if he didn't hear it or just ignored it. They were all instilling in Lu Dong the idea of ​​making big money.

In the end, Lu Dong could only put down the phone, the paleness and powerlessness of his words were evident.

Very helpless.

Lu Dong sighed, thinking about it carefully, what else can I do?

It looks like ten cows... no, the locomotive can't be pulled back.

Husband sucks in, pulls wife in, wife pulls natal mother in, natal mother pulls wife in, wife pulls neighbors in...

Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and he has nothing to do.

Just thinking about it, suddenly the lights went out and the power went out.

Power outages are too common when it rains. Lu Dong helped find candles. Just after lighting them, a call came in. The power company notified that the leakage protectors had burned out in the electric buildings in several villages such as Lu’s, Liu Wan, and Ma’s. , there may be a power outage for a while.

(It was called a power supply station at that time, and it was called a power supply company. It seems that it is not very sensitive? There will be a plot later.)
