The Era of Hard Work

After ten o'clock, the people in the square dispersed one after another, and a group of people who discussed going out for a trip also went home.

Lu Dong and Seventh Uncle's house were next to each other, and they walked to the village together.

What role did you play? Lu Dong asked.

Under the streetlights, Lu Jianren's shadow kept getting longer and shorter: Killer, after a while, it's the one Yin Jianping killed.

Lu Dong smiled: It's very face-saving to ask the number one expert in the Tang Dynasty to kill him.

Lu Jianren was curious: Yin Jianping is playing the number one master of the Tang Dynasty?

Lu Dong shrugged: Anyway, that's what the director and screenwriter said. They said that they would go on stage in person to give Li Yuanfang an official proof when the sequel comes.

Lu Jianren was surprised: It's just such a bad drama, can you still make a sequel?

Lu Dong turned to look at Uncle Qi: What is a broken drama? I invested in it, okay? Uncle Qi, let me tell you, I have a good vision. Country Love is so popular, and the episode is over, too. Dongtai will broadcast the second broadcast soon.

Lu Jianren said disdainfully: You are investing in a TV series? You are investing in Zhao Laogen...

Uncle Qi, just wait and see. Lu Dong coaxed: When Detective Di Renjie becomes popular, go and drive me for half a year!

How could Lu Jianren be afraid of Lu Dong: Okay! That's the deal! If it doesn't become popular, the Land Rover Defender I like is imported, and you can find a way to get me one.

Lu Dong replied, No problem.

When approaching the door of the house, Lu Jianren patted his forehead: There is something, I almost forgot, the monk in Shaolin Temple in Diaojia Village that you brought my attention to, seems to be home to visit relatives, just these two days. Find someone to ask again.

Lu Dong became interested: Are you sure?

Lu Jianren nodded slightly: Ma Laosan has a relative who lives in the county, and I heard about it.

Okay. Lu Dong already had a detailed address and even a phone number: I'll tell Song Na and ask her to find someone to contact.

Back home, Lu Dong called Song Na and told Song Na about it, and after being sticky for a while, he washed and rested.

In the morning, Lu Dong went for a routine morning jog, ran around the new village, and came to the gatehouse in the south. He was alone at home, too lazy to make breakfast, so he simply bought fried dough sticks and tofu nao.

When he came out, he happened to meet the tall and thin Lu Xing.

Brother Xing, when did you come back? Lu Dong remembered that he went to the south in the month when he led the leader to inspect.

Lu Xing didn't seem to have slept well, and the dark circles under his eyes were like pandas: I came back in the past two days.

Lu Dong casually asked again: Have you packed everything?

I finished packing it earlier, but I didn't get it back. It's so far away, and it's not enough for the shipping fee. I sold it locally as junk and second-hand goods. Lu Xing rubbed his dark circles and said, Our conditions are good here, pack your things, If you take the opportunity to travel outside, you may not be free when you come back.

To the people in his own village, Lu Dong was very patient, and asked cooperatively, Where did you go?

Lu Xing said: I went to Nanyun, and the scenery and climate there are really nothing to say. Our Lujia Village is very beautifully built. The folk custom area is not worse than the ancient city over there, but the climate is far worse.

He pointed to the rising sun in the east: It's only April, and as soon as the sun rises, it's so hot that you need to wear short sleeves.

Lu Dong said: Our spring here is as short as nothing.

Oh, I missed your meal. Lu Xing was about to leave, but before he left, he said, I brought some flower cakes back from Nanyun, and I'll give you some later to have a taste.

No need, no need. Lu Dong said politely and returned home.

Lu Xing bought tofu nao and sesame seed cakes, and brought them back home, two with seasonings, and one with white tofu nao.

He left two servings for his parents on the dining table, and went to the kitchen to fetch the sugar bowl and came back.

Father Lu Jianning glanced at the sugar bowl in his hand, frowned and said, There is no sugar!

Lu Xing opened the sugar bowl on his own, and put white sugar in it: One person has one taste.

Lu Jianning found it hard to understand, shook his head but didn't speak anymore, and started to deal with breakfast.

His wife came here at this time, because she was going to watch an opera in the old village soon, she ate very fast, and left after finishing the first one.

Only one sentence was left: Put the bowl in the basin, wait for me to come back and wash it.

Like most fathers in their fifties and sons in their thirties, the father and son ate their own meals and rarely talked to each other, except for the sound of iron spoons hitting bowls.

Lu Jianning finished eating first, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, looked at his son who was slowly drinking white tofu nao, and asked, Aren't you leaving this time?

Lu Xing raised his head slightly: Should...not leave.

Lu Jianning coughed twice and cleared his throat: Since you're not leaving, you can find a job in peace. You're already 30, and you've been resting since you came back last year. It's not a problem if you don't do anything for such a long time. If there is a dividend, it belongs to the dividend. Which one of the younger ones does not work? There is no one who is waiting for a light meal. No matter what you can do, there must be something to do.

Lu Xing's spoon stopped by his mouth and looked at his old father.

Affected by the general environment of Lujia Village, Lu Jianning didn't feel that he should stay at home and enjoy the dividends at a young age: I'll look for your third grandpa later. There are so many jobs in the village, there is always something suitable for you.

The family is not short of money. Lu Xing was silent.

Who says there is no shortage of money. Lu Jianning asked suddenly: I looked at the passbook, the money I gave you years ago, why did you spend it all so quickly?

Lu Xing argued: Didn't I go to Nanyun for a tour this time, I have a lot of friends there...

Lu Jianning was a little unhappy: That can't cost 70,000 to 80,000!

Lu Xing's face was ugly: The former daughter-in-law and the friends who have helped must have an understanding, and go away ruthlessly, so that no one will poke my spine.

The son finally came back from the south. Lu Jianning didn't want to have a big conflict between the father and father for some money, which caused the son to run away in anger. Looking at the present, you have settled down and stabilized, and you are not allowed to take a wife? We marry a daughter-in-law in our village, and outsiders generally don’t ask for a bride price, but we can’t be shabby anymore, and we have to give what is due.”

Although a little impatient, Lu Xing came back this trip, seeing the appearance of Lu's Village, he didn't want to just leave.

So, he didn't say anything, and continued to listen to his father.

Lu Jianning said again: You have a job in the village, you can find a wife, and you can also learn some skills. Except for Lu Chun who eats at the public house, which one is not from the various factories, workshops and construction sites in the village? backbone?

Some words are really hard to say. My son took the family passbook and went out with so much money to go in. Is it worth it?

If there is a job to do, people can be tied up so that they won't go out and mess around.

Lu Xing finished eating the tofu with sugar in silence, and then slowly said: Okay, I'll go. However, I just came back from Nanyun, so I need to rest for a few days.

Hearing that his son was willing to go to work, Lu Jianning calmed down. The rest of the few days mentioned later is nothing to worry about: Let me say hello to your third grandpa first. After you have enough rest, go to work. No matter what position you go to, They are all easy to do, learn some real skills, as far as our village is concerned, some real skills are indispensable to earn money.

Lu Xing cleaned up the bowls and spoons, revealing his long-sleeved T-shirt wrists, thin and skinny.

Lu Jianning looked at his son, knowing that he had suffered a lot in the south all these years, and no matter how much a father and son had a grudge against him, he was still a father and son, so he finally softened his heart: You can spend the money on the booklet if you want, eat better, dress better, these are nothing serious , if you encounter difficulties, just call me, if you can't solve it, your dad is there, and if your dad can't solve it, go to Dongzi...

Lu Xing silently put the bowl into the sink, turned on the faucet to rinse it, and finally replied: Dad, I will take a rest for a week.

I'll go to the village branch. Lu Jianning left the house.

After washing the dishes, Lu Xing felt tired, his physical condition was not good, and he was too tired to do a little work.

Sitting on the sofa and resting for a while, his head was blank and he didn't want to think about anything, until the wall clock on the wall struck ten times, Lu Xing moved his body and stood up, and went out to the old village.

I have to go there for something.

There are many shops, many people, and many businesses in the folk tourist area, so there are not many people who come to hang out at this moment.

It's a pity that this place is too conservative and not as open as the south side. There are hundreds of shops in the old street, food street and market street, and there is not even a bar.

Lu Xing walked around, and soon found the person he was looking for outside the travel company in Old Street.

Lu Ming, who is a few years younger than him, used to be in the old village, the two families were very close to each other, and they often played together when they were young.

Different from his family, Lu Ming's family has a stronger foundation. When the village went public, they invested some shares. In addition to the village's household registration dividends, there are also a large amount of investment dividends every year.

Lu Xing had inquired about it before, not to mention that Lu Ming's family has a lot, but there are hundreds of thousands of deposits.

The two found a courtyard of a hotel and sat by the pool with rushing water. Lu Ming asked the boss for a pot of good tea and talked with Lu Xing.

Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we have been playing together since we were young. After Lu Xing came back, we had a chat once, and the alienation and strangeness basically disappeared.

Lu Ming took out a teacup, put it on the opposite side, poured tea for Lu Xing, and asked, Brother Xing, you should relax and go wherever you want.

Lu Xing said: Don't envy me, my family thinks I'm idle.

In fact, Lu Ming also has this opinion. From the old to the young in the Lu family village, as long as they are healthy at any age, whoever does not come out to work, there are a few people who are waiting to get dividends.

Young, you have to do something. Lu Ming persuaded from the side: We are only so old, we can't just eat and support now, so when will it be the first time?

My father said that he is going to talk to the third grandpa and let me go to work. Lu Xing directed the conversation in the direction he wanted: But I have to wait a little bit, I just came back from playing in Nanyun , Rest for two days at least.

Lu Ming originally planned to take advantage of the May Day holiday to apply for another annual leave, and take his wife out for a trip. Yesterday, he asked Lu Dong about his trip to Korea and Japan, so he couldn't help asking, Brother Xing, how is Nanyun doing? Is it fun?

Very good. Lu Xing said.
