MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 34 walk out

   Chapter 34 Come Out

  Lightning flashed past, illuminating the sky shrouded in the night, and the raindrops fell densely, hitting the green brick floor in the courtyard with a non-stop crackling sound.

  It was getting late, but Lu Dong didn't fall asleep. From time to time, he walked around several houses, worried that the house would be too old and it would leak.

   The weeds on the roof have fallen long ago, and the old house is still strong.

   Lu Dong observed for ten minutes, there was no sign of rain leakage, and went back to his own room to prepare for sleep.

   took out the industrial and commercial card that he had just deposited today, and Lu Dong put it in the big Chinese dictionary in the bookcase. Except for a small amount of daily change, all the money he earned over half a month after coming back was in the card.

  The biggest income was selling white porcelain vinegar dishes to Chia Tai Art Company. The 1,000 yuan Lu Dong gave to Hu Chunlan was 400 yuan, of which 320 yuan was paid to the coordinator, and the rest was used for household use.

During the    period, because of going to school, Hu Chunlan also ran the Shilibao Market for Lu Dong once, of course Lu Dong would not ask his mother for money.

   Excluding these, as well as expenses such as taking a car, buying pig blood and daily expenses, there is still 1300 yuan in the bank card!

  The little chiropractor, and the leech who hates feeding chickens, brought Lu Dong an absolute high income in this era in a short period of time.

   Of course, these two items are extremely seasonal.

  As the water potential of Qingzhao River falls further, and August is getting closer, there will be fewer and fewer leeches and monkeys.

   Lu Dong is preparing for a new plan. When he comes back and passes by the university town every day, he will familiarize himself with the environment, understand the situation of the construction site, and inquire about the opening time of each school.

   Worried about forgetting, I even bought a small notebook to write it down.

   As far as Lu Dong knows, there is currently no business in the university town, not to mention restaurants, shops and shopping malls, and even mobile vendors are few and far between.

The students who moved into the university town this year are destined to work hard for a period of time. They originally wanted to go to a big city when they went to university, but they came to a county town where they couldn’t find a village or a store. When they graduated and left, the university town was well-built and turned into a new town.

   Maybe their college life is all gray.

   There are naturally reserved commercial facilities in each school, but after Lu Dong asked his elder brother Lu Chun to inquire about it, he gave up voluntarily.

   If you want to open a store in a university, you need more than money.

   Lu Dong couldn't find a relationship, and he didn't have so much money to feed a big mouth.

   Therefore, those mid-to-high-end roads floating in the sky are not within the scope of his plan.

  Our own capital is here, and the plan must conform to the actual situation.

  Lv Dong has seen a lot, asked a lot of questions, and thought about a lot of things in the university town, Shilibao Vegetable Wholesale Market, and West Market these days. The new plan was not just imagined out of thin air, but after many days of on-the-spot observation.

   But he still hasn't made the final decision, because he has to read and understand more later.

  The more you know in the early stage, the less risk you have in the later stage.

   After all, the funds in hand are too small to withstand the toss.

  Lu Dong lay down and listened to the pattering rain outside, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten the other three things.

   The catfish caught have never been sold, because the price of the reservoir is low, so they have been kept in the water tank. As the water pressure becomes smaller, the price of the nearby catfish has rebounded, and I will save some to sell it.

   There is also the news clue bonus from Fang Yan's side. I've been busy with my feet lately, so I don't have time to ask.

   This kind of news needs time to investigate and verify, so it’s not too late to call and ask next month.

   If you do good deeds and get paid, you can do it for a long time.

   For the general public like him, it is unrealistic to only pay without expecting anything in return.

   As for the advanced individual awards for flood fighting and disaster relief in the county, there is no way to inquire at the moment, but the commendation meeting will be held soon.

  What is the material reward award? Hope it's cash, don't give a trophy.

  Thinking about whether there is something or not, Lu Dong entered the dream.

   At dawn, he got up on time, beat the sandbags as usual, then washed and went to the orchard to eat and get things. Yesterday, there were few leeches caught, so it was not worth a special trip to the West Market.

   This thing has strong vitality, and it is not too late to accumulate more and sell it.

  Lu Dong brought Chimon with him, and found a convenient bag to wrap a hard cigarette case and stuff it into his pocket.

   Pets must be with you!

   After meeting Qiao Siliang and Qiao Weiguo that day, Lu Dong realized that he couldn't be careless. He had to carry his own hidden weapon with him in case of emergency.

  It just rained, and the dirt road turned into a concrete road. Lu Dong rode to Jijie, and the mud blocked the fenders and wheels three times.

  The weather was still cool at first, and when the sun rose, it instantly turned into a big steamer.

   At Shilibao Market, Lu Dong was sweating, but luckily there was no dust.

More than 600 people knew the monkey and sold it for 96 yuan. Brother Niu gave Lu Dong some money and said, "Brother, you can't admire your perseverance! When I was your age, I was able to endure so much hardship. Now, when you become a second-order dealer, you have already become a big boss."

   Lu Dong took the money and said with a smile, "Brother Niu, in my eyes, you are the big boss."

   This person is indeed realistic, but how can it be unrealistic to do business? After dealing with him for so many days, Brother Niu does not say that he is a good person, at least he is not bad-hearted.

   I can’t say the same, life is not easy, and those who can keep the bottom line of morality are good people.

  Brother Niu took out a bottle of iced Sprite from the room and threw it to Lu Dong: "By your auspicious words, I will become the big boss soon."

   "Don't forget to pull your brother." Lu Dongshun answered.

   Brother Niu laughed: "There is a day, I will never forget you!"

  Put the Sprite into the plastic bucket, Lu Dong waved at Brother Niu, looked at the various commodities in the market all the way, and walked towards the gate.

   When he came to the reception room with the faucet, Lu Dong saw a familiar figure coming out of the bicycle storage area with a pocket.

   This man is tall and slender, his dark and shiny face is covered with beads of sweat, his short ear-length hair is stained gray-white, there is a little black mud near the top of his head, and his half-length sleeves and trousers are also gray-white.

  Except for the face and arms, the whole person is like rolling in cement dust.

   She was carrying a bag and saw Lu Dong.

   "You changed to burn lime?" Lu Dong greeted him: "Song Na, if I hadn't seen you a few days ago, I wouldn't have recognized you."

  Song Na wiped the sweat from her face: "Come here in a hurry. After the night shift, I washed my hands and face and came out on a bicycle."

   Lu Dong asked, "In such a hurry?"

Song Na said simply: "It rained last night, so I went to catch some buffaloes. Someone in the quarry was in a hurry to get the goods, and they worked overtime at night for powder stones. When I got home at five o'clock this morning, some buffaloes died, and I didn't have time. Pack up and come over quickly."

  Lu Dong approached and could see more clearly, where was the ash on Song Na's body, it was all rubble, and some were the size of rice grains, interspersed between her hair.

   "Too thirsty!" Song Na pointed to the outdoor faucet: "I'll go get a drink."

  Lu Dong took out the iced Sprite, unscrewed it, and handed it over: "Drink something?"

  Song Na was just a sports student, so she didn't pay much attention to it, so she raised her head and took two sips.

   This looked up, and crumbs and powder fell from her head.

   Lu Dong found that there was a thick black mud mark in the middle of Song Na's clothes, which went all the way to her head.

  Song Na relieved her thirst a little, stopped drinking immediately, and said, "It's really cool!"

   Lu Dong pointed to her back: "There is no mudguard on the rear wheel of the bicycle?"

  Song Na touched the mud on the top of her head, but when she touched a hand of ash, she felt a little embarrassed: "Da Jinlu, it's too old, the rear seat and mudguard have long been broken, and it's easy to throw mud all over when it rains."

   She remembered the bag in her hand: "I'm going to sell the buffaloes first, are you in a hurry? Go to another place? If not, we'll go together later."

   Lu Dong gestured to the bicycle shed: "I'll wait for you there."

   "Okay!" Song Na hurried into the market.

  Lu Dong looked back, Song Na's gray hair and the black mud marks on her back were particularly eye-catching.

  Song Na’s home is located in the mountainous area south of Qingzhao, and going back through the county town and then going south is much farther than going to Lujia Village. According to the time Song Na said, she left earlier than Lu Dong and arrived later than Lu Dong.

   Lu Dong didn't know what was going on in Song Na's family, but a girl from a mountainous area who had to work in a gravel field to earn tuition was not much better.

   Self-reliance is easy to say, but how difficult is it for an 18-year-old to do it?

  Song Na, a sports student who was specially recruited into the school, got over 500 points in the college entrance examination, but she didn't want to ask for help because she couldn't afford it.

  Schools are never isolated from society.

  Human feelings and relationships are often directly linked to money.

   Lu Dong suddenly remembered that it is not good to drink carbonated beverages when practicing sports. He went to a nearby store to buy a bottle of pure water for a dollar. After waiting for a few minutes, Song Na hurried back, her dark face turned into a dahlia again.

   Needless to say, her hard work paid off.

   "Finally, I didn't make the trip in vain." Song Na hurried over: "Fortunately, I came, it's worthless if I die."

   Lu Dong handed her pure water: "Here, drink this."

  Song Na was not polite to Lu Dong, took it, twisted it open, took a big mouthful, and wiped the corner of her mouth: "It's cool! I earn more than I do a day's work, but unfortunately it's not every day."

   Lu Dong went to push the bicycle: "There are many bugs in summer. If you have the opportunity to earn more, you can go to school a lot easier."

Song Na also brought out a bicycle, the 28th Golden Deer, without rear fenders and back seats, like two old cars assembled: "Go!" She got on the bicycle, waited for Lu Dong to follow, and said: " I can't earn Shan Buffalo money without the news you gave me, so I'll invite you to lunch in the county seat."

   Lu Dong did not directly refuse, but pointed to her clothes and declined: "Another day."

  Song Na looked down and saw her grayish appearance: "Alright."

  The two passed through the university town, and they passed by the gate of the Provincial Physical Education College. The newly built school was quite impressive.

   Lu Dong said some things he had inquired about: "Many schools in the university town have teachers working and are preparing for the opening of the new campus. It is estimated that you will receive the admission notice soon."

  The big golden deer stopped at the entrance of the sports academy, Song Na's long legs were on the ground, she suddenly felt that she was no longer tired, bitter, or painful, and her life was full of hope.

   Here is her future!

   "What do you want to do in the future?" Song Na asked suddenly.

   Lu Dong replied very vulgarly: "To make money, my family and I will have a good life."

  Song Na said: "I used to think about being able to get out of the mountains, not to move out, but to really get out."

   Lu Dong laughed: "You did it."

  Song Na also smiled: "I did it."

  The two left the university town, came to an intersection, and rode to their respective homes separately.

   Lu Dong returned to the village and received a notice to prepare him to participate in the county's flood fighting commendation meeting.

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