The Era of Hard Work

In the last month of 2001, the cold air frequently moved south, but no matter how cold it was, Lu Dong would get up and run around in the morning. He used to run around the old village, but after moving to the new village, he ran around the new village.

Go out and turn to the north-south main road to the north, go west from the asphalt road leading to the food factory in the north, then come to the newly named Wenlv Road in the west of Xincun, turn to the east-west road in the south, and go east along the small square.

Sometimes, I can meet Iron Rooster and Li Wenyue.

Uncle Tie never ran. He hung a radio on his wrist and walked along the village road like a walk.

Li Wenyue was not in good health, and running for a long time was harmful and not beneficial, so he walked briskly on the road in front of his house to the yard of the new brigade.

It was frosty at night, and the temperature dropped a lot. Lu Dong, wearing sportswear, turned to the road beside the square and caught up with Li Wenyue, who was walking fast ahead.

Don't run away! Li Wenyue knew it was Lu Dong when he heard footsteps behind him, and called to stop him: Come with me.

Lu Dong slowed down his pace, gradually adjusted to the walking state, and said, Aren't you afraid of the cold?

Li Wenyue pushed up his glasses: I don't do as much exercise as I did in school when I came out for an internship. I'm already fat. If I don't pay attention, I will soon become a big fat man.

Lu Dong patted his stomach lightly: You don't have much meat, with your body, you'd better get fatter.

Li Wenyue smiled: I will gain weight when I get married.

Lu Dong laughed: Are you trying to trick your wife first?

The two talked and laughed, and came to the north-south main road into the new village. When walking north, two semi-old and not new vans turned to the road beside the square and went straight to the courtyard of the brigade.

Did you go to the brigade to handle errands so early? Lu Dong asked casually.

Li Wenyue said: There are many things in our village, and they are also busy. Some people like to come early and wait there until the door is opened.

The two went back to their respective homes, Lu Dong had eaten and changed his clothes, Lu Kun drove over and got in the car to go to the company.

Just in time, Li Wenyue also came out of the house, and Lu Dong took him into the car and took him to the village.

Before reaching the entrance of the village, suddenly there was a burst of crying from the southwest, the sound was ridiculously loud, like a shrew howling a wolf.

Li Wenyue said, Where is the brigade?

Lu Dong urged: Lu Kun, hurry up and have a look.

Lu Kun sped up a little, and came to the entrance of the village and turned to the north side of the square on the way to the brigade. Lu Dong immediately saw two vans parked at the gate of the brigade, the two vans he and Li Wenyue saw just now. More than a dozen people gathered in the brigade At the gate of the yard, there was a stretcher in front of it, on which lay a person, whose head seemed to be still wrapped in a bandage, and two bamboo poles were erected near the head and feet, with a banner in black on a white background stretched between them—return me The family is happy, and Lujia Village is not responsible for hurting people!

In the crowd, six or seven women knelt on the ground, crying like crazy.

Because it was still early, the iron gates of the brigade were closed, and they couldn't get in.

This is? Li Wenyue looked at it for a while, and roughly understood: The two who collect waste products are fighting, what do we care about?

The car stopped, Lu Dong opened the door to get out of the car, and walked over, there were already seven or eight people from Lu's village coming here.

Those people were crying, shouting and cursing, all aimed at Lu's Village, and every sentence was getting worse.

There were more and more people gathered around, Lu Dong hurried over, this kind of thing must not be done, even if it is reasonable to do so.

Lu Dong.

Dongzi...

Wen Yue.

Seeing the three people who came over, the people in Lujia Village immediately had the backbone. Although everyone's face was ugly and their eyes were spitting fire, at least they wouldn't act recklessly.

Next to the stretcher was a big-character poster with black characters on a white background, all of which were accusations against Lujia Village.

Lujia Village is not considered a big village based on its population. What happened to the two waste collectors that day has spread throughout the village, and people who come here can tell what's going on at a glance.

This is clearly coming to Lu's village to blackmail people.

There was a leader in his forties. When he saw the car first, and then saw the reactions of the people in Lujia Village, he knew that a leader was coming. He stepped out and said loudly, Who is in charge of your Lujia Village? Someone came out of your Lujia Village. If it's over, just don't ask, do you still have a conscience? You have to give an explanation for everything you say today?

Li Wenyue stayed in the village for a long time, and took the initiative to take two steps forward: What are you doing? Which village?

Lu Dong also walked forward and stood next to Li Wenyue.

We're here for my younger brother, asking for fairness, a reason, and an explanation! The man in his forties shouted loudly, If you don't give an explanation from your Lu family village today, we won't leave!

Master, you are so wronged... The women in the back cried even more vigorously.

Lu Dong stared at him and asked, Which town are you from? Which village?

The man glared at Lu Dong fiercely: What's wrong? Want to retaliate? Others are afraid of your Lu family village, but we are not! We are from the town of senior officials!

Lu Dong said: If you have a question, if you have a question, you can go through the judicial process, don't make trouble here!

Of course the judicial process must go! The man's attitude was very strong: But you, Lujia Village, must first give us an explanation! If you don't give an explanation, you will not leave here! There are reasons to go all over the world, and we will take it wherever it goes. Reason!

He pointed to the person on the stretcher: If you don't give an explanation, if something goes wrong here, your Lu Family Village will take full responsibility!

Li Wenyue couldn't help but said: He hit someone first, and then he was injured by someone. The police have already arrested the person who beat someone...

The man interrupted: Your Lu family village must be responsible for what happened in your Lu family village!

Lu Dong laughed angrily: Yes, he was injured at the entrance of Lujia Village. That place is not only at the entrance of Lujia Village, but also in Ningxiu Town, Qingzhao County, and Quannan City. Do you want to be responsible for all the land in Taidong Province?

This person has the energy of a rascal, and being able to run over to get ahead is a difficult thing to deal with in itself.

Gaoguan Town is located in the northernmost part of Qingzhao, somewhat far from the county seat and Ningxiu Town. It seems that they only know that Lujia Village is rich, but they don't know who the leader of Lujia Village is.

Even if he is a village rogue, he knows that it is nonsense and impossible for all levels of government to be responsible. He raised his voice twelve degrees and shouted: Don't talk about these useless things, and you don't want to escape responsibility. If you don't give an explanation, we will punish you. Put people in your brigade!

Lu Zhenlin and Lu Jianshe were on a business trip for the past two days, accountant Li, who heard about the situation, hurried over.

Seeing Lu Dong standing in front, his heart went back to his stomach.

There was another burst of crying and cursing from the group of people next to the stretcher, which was obviously adding momentum to the middle-aged man.

This group of people blocked in front of the brigade, as if no one would want to enter without giving an explanation.

The person on the stretcher didn't move or feel a bit.

Lu Dong frowned. It was impossible to tell if there were any professional or hired people in this group, but there must be relatives.

People were so injured that they couldn't even talk about recovery, so they were dragged out of the hospital by their relatives and ran to Lujia Village to make trouble. It was really speechless.

Looking at this posture, no one cares about the life and death of the injured, they just want to use the injured to make a fortune.

Frankly speaking, it is somewhat troublesome for people to die at the gate of the brigade.

It is impossible to reason, and there is no way to reason about this kind of thing. The two sides confronted each other for a while, and accountant Li asked Lu Dong and others to go a little farther away to discuss what to do.

The sound of soles mopping the floor sounded, and Lu Jianren walked over with drooping shoulders.

It's still going to our village? Lu Jianren said in an ugly way: I'd like to see what kind of bastard was shot out of it.

People don't know the name of the mountain eagle, so they are indifferent.

Knowing that he couldn't do anything, Lu Dong grabbed Lu Jianren, fearing that he would make a fool of himself, and directly pinched him: Uncle Qi, you are the trump card of our village, you should be used at critical moments.

Although he knew there was something wrong with Lu Dong's words, but it was comfortable in his ears, Lu Jianren nodded: Do you have an idea?

Lu Dong said, This is not a matter of discussion.

Lu Jianren looked at the young and old around and said, Don't do anything, don't do anything, we are reasonable and civilized people.

Lujia Village has carried out legal education for such a long time, and it is more or less effective. People just watch, and they don't mean to do it casually.

Lu Dong, Li Wenyue, Lu Jianren, Accountant Li, and the two elders at the scene retreated a certain distance to discuss what to do.

An old man said: When they make a fuss, they just ask for money. If they can't do it, they will give them a sum of money and get rid of it.

No! Li Wenyue objected: Our village is rich, and people from far and near know that today someone has an accident at the entrance of our village, and if he comes here to make trouble, we will give you a sum of money. What about in the future?

Lu Jianren echoed: Wen Yue is right! It makes sense! He nodded his chest: Take me as an example, if there is such a fat sheep nearby, if I am short of money, I will run to He went to Pengci at the entrance of the village, and if he didn’t touch porcelain, he would sprain his feet and fall his arm, and then make trouble and ask for money.

The old man knew that he had come up with a bad idea, so he made a mistake and stopped talking.

Lu Dong said: This opening can't be opened. If people are in trouble, we can donate money, but it's so troublesome...

Lu Jianren said: This kind of person is making such a fuss. If you want to donate to him, I'm in a hurry with you.

Lu Dong spread his hands: Seventh Uncle, I'm making an analogy.

People sit at home, pots come from the sky, donations? He's out of his mind.

Accountant Li nodded: Their purpose is to ask for money, money can't be given, and if you want to give it, you can't give it to this kind of person!

Another old man said: If you don't pay, you have to find a way to send people away. You can't just make trouble. Things like this in our village can't be delayed.

Li Wenyue, an orthodox college student, said directly, Should we call the police?

He has experienced many things in the past, but the current Lujia Village is no longer the poor village it used to be. Other villages may get angry after reporting this kind of thing to the police, but Lujia Village probably won't.

Accountant Li frowned: Call the police and drive them away. They drive away today and come back tomorrow. They are so annoying. They have this spare time, so we can't afford to delay it.

Lu Jianren said: This kind of person needs to be taught a lesson, and if they don't have a memory, they think it's justified to make trouble.

We have to send them away quickly. Lu Dong said, Their relatives don't treat people as human beings. We can't do this. I have an idea... Well, I'll call the police later.
