The Era of Hard Work

Just after the wind and rain subsided, two motorcycles rushed out of the University City area one after the other, and rushed north along the waterlogged road.

Lu Jianren ran ahead on a borrowed motorcycle, and Lu Dong's Little Jialing followed behind on a trailer.

When he came to the highway bridge hole, there was water in it, and Lu Jianren rushed in directly.

Lu Dong stepped up the accelerator and rushed over.

As the distance to Lujia Village was getting closer, Lu Dong thought of the drenched figure riding a bicycle. The person he met at the village yesterday, why did he disappear today?

On the old street, her mother's house was diagonally opposite to Uncle Qi's, and Lu Minglan, who had played with Uncle Qi since childhood, was electrocuted and could not be rescued!

Some time ago, Lu Minglan gave Lu Dong a fan at Uncle Seven's door, and said she would find her in insurance.

Yesterday, he was reminded to be careful in the rain.

I don't know the details of what happened until I got back to the village.

Lu Dong reckoned that it had something to do with the wind and rain.

The two rushed all the way back to the village and walked along Jijie Street to Li's Hutong. Many people gathered in front of Uncle Li's house, even police cars came.

Accidental death requires a certificate issued by the police station.

There were crying in the house.

After Lu Jianren parked the car, he ran over there. When Lu Dong got out of the car, he saw Li Wenyue.

What's going on. He asked hastily.

Li Wen got here early and heard about the situation: Ming Langu went to Liuwan to talk about insurance with someone. When she came back, there was a strong wind and rain. The pole she was walking on was broken and fell down...

He gestured to the left side of his chest: I didn't dare to look at it, but my mother did, and she explained that the location of Lan Gu's electric shock was above the heart...

The person who talked to him in real life yesterday disappeared in an accident. He is still the aunt of the same family. Lu Dong is very sad: The wire is broken and leakage, why didn't it trip!

Having said that, Lu Dong suddenly stopped, the power went out last night, and the leakage protector of the electric building burned out...

He wiped his face, and his nose was a little sore from the hailstone, and his eyes were also uncomfortable.

People are too fragile! Say no and be gone?

Lu Dong saw his wife Hu Chunlan, and went over to ask a few questions. The situation was the same as Li Wenyue described. The thread on the pole might have been broken by the wind, and Aunt Minglan happened to pass by on her bicycle...

Standing at the door, he could hear constant crying from inside, and Lu Dong remained silent.

A rain, a gust of wind, a power line, destroy a person, even a family.

Such a coincidence, who can I ask for reason?

Li Wenyue thought about the trail he took that night, and muttered beside him, I will never walk the trail again.

Hu Chunlan patted Lu Dong: When you were young, you often played with your Seventh Uncle and Aunt Ming Lan. Go see her for the last time.

Lu Dong nodded, and separated from the crowd to enter the gate. Aunt Minglan's father, Lu Zhenyi, squatted in the corner and couldn't speak a word. The old lady, supported by her natal sister-in-law, was so hoarse from crying.

Lu Minglan's youngest son was only five years old, and he was hugged by his grandfather. He still didn't understand what happened.

Lu Dong wanted to go over and have a word with the two elders of the Lu family, but he didn't know what to say.

What can I say at this moment?

If you get seriously ill, if you are mentally prepared, it's okay to say.

This kind of accident hurts the most.

In the main room, Lu Zhenlin accompanied the people from the police station out, saw Lu Dong nodded slightly, and went out the gate.

Lu Dong lowered his head and entered the main room.

The person stopped in the middle of the main room. According to the custom of Lujia Village, a broken door panel was carried on the two stools, and the person was wrapped in a white cloth and lay on the door panel.

Lu Minglan's object, Li Jiazhu, stood by the door with Lu Jianren.

As Lu Dong passed by, Li Jiazhu looked towards him with tears all over his face.

Second Uncle Li. Lu Dong said in a low voice, My condolences.

Li Jiazhu nodded, held back his crying, and said to the person covered with a white cloth on the door: Minglan, Dongzi has come to see you.

Lu Dong stood by the door panel, unable to say a word, only felt his nose sore, and something was about to flow out of his eyes.

What does the power company say? Lu Jianren asked suddenly.

Li Jiazhu said: They went to the scene once, and they didn't show up again after they left.

Lu Dong thought of some of the messy situations that often occur in this era, and reminded: Second Uncle Li, you must guard well to prevent someone from robbing my aunt.

They are not idiots, Lu Jianren and Li Jiazhu understand what Lu Dong means.

I'm going to find someone right now. Li Jiazhu said, All my brothers are here.

Lu Jianren had never passed by in such a serious way: Give me a table at the gate of your house at night, and I will see who dares to come! He said to Lu Dong: People are gone, but they can't just disappear like this. Your third grandpa and He is familiar with people in the town, so I will go to him and ask him to tell people that if he doesn’t help us, he can’t help over there.”

After he finished speaking, he went out, Lu Dong glanced at Lu Minglan, and left the main room in silence.

When going out the gate, someone came in with an ice cream box.

The weather is too hot, and it is impossible to go to the funeral in a short time.

Lu Jianren and Lu Zhenlin were at the door.

The lines on the transmission poles are all under the control of the power company. Lu Jianren was speaking: They have to come forward.

Lu Zhenlin said: I have contacted the power supply company, and they will send someone over to discuss this matter. He glanced at Li Wenyue's second uncle and Lu Jianren, and, like Lu Dong, specially reminded: Keep more people at night. Prevent accidents.

In these years, many things have been done rough, and similar bad things have happened more than once or twice.

Li Wenyue's second uncle said: The strong laborers at home will come and take turns guarding them.

Lu Dong has seen too many similar reports. If he is not prepared, some things are not likely to happen, but have a high probability of happening.

As long as this person is cremated, many things can be easily resolved.

Maybe it's wrong to say that, but the incident happened, and the follow-up was unavoidable. It can only be said that fortunately, it was in a village with a relatively strong clan.

Lu Zhenlin said again: I'm going to the county right now, and treat guests with wine, people can't be lost in vain. He told Uncle Li Wenyue: Don't show up if you have something to do, the general rules are suppressed, you can't take it, let the young ones bear it.

He has a very good relationship with Lao Liang in the town. Lao Liang said he didn't care about the matter, but he still sat in the top position!

The person who had the accident was not only the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but also the daughter of the Lu family.

Lu Zhenlin said again: I called Jianwu, who is not up to date. He is out of town, and he will hurry back immediately. He will be there before noon tomorrow.

Jianwu is his son and works as a lawyer in Quannan.

Third Uncle, you can just go. Lu Jianren said, I'm here!

He glanced at Lu Dong and said, Dongzi, you will go to dinner later, come over to guard the gate after dinner, you will guard the gate in the first half of the night, and I will take care of you in the second half of the night.

Lv Dong learned crooked ways from Lv Jianren since he was a child, and Lv Jianren knew very well that when the time comes when strength is really needed, Lv Dong can do both by himself.

Okay. Lu Dong agreed without hesitation.

He sent a bald head and called dozens of people from the construction site in a few minutes. Why?

It's not because he makes a lot of money in business, because he is from Lujia Village!

When encountering injustice, unanimously speak out.

Lu Dong remembered very clearly that at noon that day, Second Uncle Li not only came to the scene in person! Still walking in the forefront like Uncle Qi!

If others helped him, within a reasonable and legal scope, Lu Dong would naturally help others.

This is the most basic principle of being a human being.

Hu Chunlan had already left, so Lu Dong rode the Jialing car and went to the brigade yard first. Before Lu Zhenlin left, he called Song Na and Qiao Weiguo's village and informed them that he would not go to the University City tomorrow.

Since the power supply company said that it will be resolved tomorrow, it will definitely come tomorrow.

If this kind of thing drags on for too long, it is also not good for them.

Lu Dong returned to the orchard, opened the tarpaulin and looked at the goods inside. There was basically no problem, and he went to the orchard for a walk. The hail here was small, and the fruit was not affected too much, but the wind also blew it down a bit.

This is normal.

After a while, Hu Chunlan called him to have dinner.

At the dinner table, Lu Dong talked about what he was going to do tonight.

Hu Chunlan said: It's time to help. If you really need something, just block people and don't mess around with them.

Lu Dong drank the corn paste in the bowl and said, I know the severity.

It's best not to have anyone come, and it's best to resolve it peacefully if someone comes.

But thinking about things these days, it seems unlikely.

Of course, those with establishments will definitely not come, but as long as they are willing to pay, they can find a bunch of people to come.

Needless to say, someone will do it for ten yuan.

There are many bastards like Qiao Siliang in the county.

While eating, Lu Dong was also thinking. He had to hope for the best, but he had to plan for the worst.

If someone does come, if someone starts to move, someone must be injured, and the third grandpa can't explain it.

The best way is to scare people away without using your hands.

Lu Dong thought for a while, and came up with an idea. He returned to the village after eating a meal. Many people gathered at the gate of Uncle Li, and Lu Jianren was smoking one cigarette after another.

Uncle Qi, I was worried that someone would really come, so I thought of a trick. Lu Dong roughly said to Lu Jianren.

Lu Jianren threw away the cigarette and stamped it out with one foot: Dongzi, you really deserve to be taught by your seventh uncle! He shouted to the people around him: Men and young men, go find some chopsticks, boxes, broken ladles, etc., don't be afraid of being stabbed. Damn it, follow Dongzi to the embankment to scratch the hot peppers, it will be of great use tonight!

Those with quick brains roughly guessed the usefulness of Chi Lazi, and told the people around them to find something quickly.

Soon, Lu Dong led Li Lin, Lu Kun, Li Wenyue and other seven or eight people from the younger generation to the river embankment, looking for them next to the wild jujube trees.

On weekdays, I showed my figure with a big grin, and I had an itchy hot pepper that no one dared to offend me. From Jijieqiaokou to the north of the Triangle Dam, wild jujube and wild jujube trees, the more conspicuous itchy hot peppers were swept away .

Will this method work? Li Lin was not confident.

Lu Dong said: Don't worry, I've used it a few times, and the effect is outstanding.

Lu Kun followed up and said, Brother Dong, who has been tricked? I feel sour for him.

Seven or eight people, holding all kinds of utensils, grabbed hundreds of them before dark.

The dense itchy hot peppers crawled together, and pimples all over your body when you saw it!

Back in Li's Hutong, Lu Dong has rich experience, and the tickles are assigned to the guards. He listens to his orders in the first half of the night, and listens to Qi Shu's orders in the second half of the night. sharp.

The other party abides by the rules, so it's fine to come over tomorrow to have a good talk, if you really want to send someone over for the night, not to mention people from the Lu family and Li family who don't agree, even the people from the Lu family village don't agree!

The night was getting darker, there was no more rain, the dark clouds in the sky cleared up, approaching July 15th, a bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the whole street.

In the middle of the night, the people on duty went back to sleep one after another. Lu Jianren dragged a mat and slept inside the gate.

Holding a stick, Lu Dong sat near the gate with about ten other people.

Listening to the crying sound from time to time inside, everyone was in a bad mood and no one spoke.

Until 11:30 in the evening, it was always calm and no one came to rush into the night.
