my wife is a consul

Chapter 222
In the light rain, the train traveled through the fields extremely smoothly.

The first-class compartments are all large leather seats, and the space between them is also very large.

This train started from the East China Sea and ended at Dongcheng, the capital of the Northern Xinjiang Province, the northernmost of the four provinces in the Northern Territory, which is also the provincial capital where Lu Ming once studied at university.

In the first class, there are some businessmen who are going to the Northern Territory for business or business.

Even Lu Ming could still hear the familiar accent, but he could only sigh inwardly.

Next to Lu Ming, sat a scruffy Western uncle who looked very artistic. Now, he was doing magic tricks for a fat rich woman across the tea table, making the rich woman laugh from time to time.

Lu Ming frowned, this sloppy uncle is Mrs. Sherlock's cousin Pirlo.

Yesterday, the government received a real-name report material that Pirlo was suspected of small amount fraud.

After a summary court procedure, in addition to returning the stolen money, Pirlo was sentenced to 500 hours of social service.

And because Pirlo graduated from a normal normal university, he was recommended to the education center.

It just so happened that a public welfare organization built a public welfare primary school in one of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and applied for two teachers to do preliminary work and train local teachers. Although the public welfare organization will pay a certain fee for the education center, it is hard work for the teachers. , So Pirlo was recommended to this charity organization.

In this way, together with another female teacher surnamed Zhang, Pirlo also became one of Lu Ming's companions.

Before leaving this morning, Sherlock called Lu Ming repeatedly to say thank you.

Slowly sucking on the straw, looking at Pirlo, Lu Ming smiled. In fact, this guy has solved a problem for himself. Otherwise, it would be really hard to find a teacher who is willing to go to the countryside of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to be a public welfare teacher.

Let’s just talk about Teacher Zhang, a beautiful lady in her 20s who just graduated from a secondary normal school. It seems that she hopes to enter Fernard College, but she needs a public welfare resume. In the comprehensive evaluation of the test, the score will be very high.It took only two days for her to go to the education center to register as a volunteer teacher.

Therefore, these two supporting teachers are really a coincidence. I work [-]% of the time, and [-]% of my luck.

The rich woman's laughter grew louder and louder, which had already drawn the eyes of many passengers.

"Pirlo, keep your voice down!" Lu Ming coughed beside him.

"What are you doing?!" The rich woman immediately stared at Lu Ming.

"Baby, this is my boss, my boss!" Pirlo immediately nodded and bowed to Lu Ming, and the temperament of a literary uncle disappeared without a trace.

The rich woman gritted her teeth: "I'll give you double the amount he prescribes for you. Come to my company!"

Pirlo sighed deeply, "Honey, I really want to go to your company, but I am a knight, a gentleman, and I must be loyal to my boss and my employer. This is what I must abide by." The rules are the character that my father taught me since I was very young, and it flows in my blood!"

"Fuck you, pretend to be a grandson!" The rich woman suddenly changed her face, "You think I don't know who you are?"

Pirlo was stunned, his face turned green and pale, "You, why are you swearing?!"

"Like a stick, I see that you can make people happy, give you face, you don't want it!" The rich woman picked up the drink on the table and splashed it on Pirlo's face.

"A gentleman uses his mouth, but that one doesn't!" Pirlo was splashed all over his face, and got up to wipe it off in embarrassment.

Obviously, he has absolutely no experience in arguing with a shrew, especially such a rich and powerful shrew.

Lu Ming turned his head and could only act as if he didn't know him, which was too embarrassing.

Over there, Teacher Zhang watched this scene with even more disgust.

"What are you laughing at?!" The rich woman stared at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming ignored her, picked up the newspaper, and said calmly, "Your actions have already violated the "Train Safety Law" of the 20s. This law has not been abolished, and you may be sentenced to prison. !Even according to the current regulations...forget it..."

It's a very simple legal issue, and I really don't bother to talk about it. It seems good to have an apprentice by my side at all times.

The rich woman looked Lu Ming seriously up and down, and then stopped talking.

Obviously he is also a well-informed person, otherwise, he would not be able to see through Pirlo.

Pirlo was cursing in his heart. In the past, he would have started to threaten the shrew a long time ago, but he glanced at Lu Ming, gritted his teeth, sat down, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

The train rattled, and the first-class compartment returned to its original silence.

……

There is no change in Sansha Town, but a signboard of "Sansha Primary School" was hung on a mud house at the head of the village.

Looking at the earthen house, Pirlo wanted to cry, but Miss Zhang frowned even more.

In order to celebrate the arrival of the two teachers, the mayor Liu Sili chopped a few catties of meat from the market early in the morning and sent them to Boss Lu's house. Aunt Wei made two big pots of dumplings for him.

Liu Sili's family also came to Lu's house. There were two of him, his wife, and his daughter, plus his father, Liu Jingtang. There were four members of his family.

Liu Sili actually has one son and three daughters. The eldest daughter married to the county seat, the second daughter married to Lin County, and the son studied middle school in the county seat.

The youngest daughter here is thirteen or fourteen years old. She has been learning to read and write with her grandfather, and she has already promised her that she will marry next year.

Lu Ming called the foreman Zhang Agou and his wife again.

In addition to Heitou, Uncle Sun, etc., more than a dozen people, the courtyard was full.

The dumplings steamed in a large pot are delicious, Mrs. Wei's hands are very skillful, the dumplings really have eighteen pleats, small and beautiful.

According to the custom here, there is a table for men, and a table for women and children, but Teacher Zhang is an exception, and she is allowed to sit at the men's table, after all, she is one of the main guests.

Pirlo became interested in Zhang Agou, who was dark-skinned but looked powerful, so he changed his seat to be next to Zhang Agou, and pinched Zhang Agou's muscles, salivating.

In other words, Zhang Agou took a shower today and changed into the cleanest cloth clothes. Although there are many patches on the clothes, they are clean. If you want to look like a sootie, I am afraid that Pirlo will cover his nose and hide. went.

Lu Ming was helpless. This Pirlo seemed to like men, that's why he was never married. However, in this day and age, it is impossible for a man to announce his coming out, otherwise he would be drowned in saliva.

"Pirlo, Mr. Zhang, you two, stay here temporarily. There are two rooms in the west wing. Each of you will live in a dormitory temporarily. The conditions here are not very good, thank you Mr. Zhang."

Lu Ming picked up the bowl; filled it with a clear yellow drink, "Come on, let me offer you a toast. It's a noble character. It's hard work to come to this poor place to teach and educate people!"

Pirlo, however, was not as enthusiastic as Zhang Agou. The self-brewed liquor poured into the bowl, he hurriedly raised it up, "Boss, you are too polite!" , exhorted and exhorted.

Teacher Zhang first entered the society, and it was very difficult to enter Fernard College. She knew that she came from a poor family. Naturally, she didn't know who Lu Ming was. She just thought that he was a coal boss who came here to dig coal. That's it, I don't want to be polite to this kind of person, "I don't know how to drink, this drink looks unhygienic."

The laughter on the table subsided.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "No, it's our drink from Donghai. It should be grandparents' orange juice. It's all in cans. It's very hygienic. Just pour it into a bowl. Or, do you drink it in a can?"

"Grandfather water? Authentic grandparent water?" Teacher Zhang was taken aback. In Donghai, she just graduated and hasn't found a job yet. She has always been very frugal and bought some drinks occasionally, but she has not yet reached the stage where free drinks are always available every day. .

Lu Ming smiled: "Yes!"

Mrs. Wei has good eyesight, and has already opened a can of drink for Mr. Zhang.

Said it was Mrs. Wei, but she actually looked like she was in her early twenties. She used to be Wei San's wife, but she had a very pretty appearance.

Teacher Zhang took it, looking at Lu Ming, he suddenly felt the benefits of working with the rich and powerful coal boss.

In this poor country, you can still drink authentic East China Sea water from ancestors and grandchildren, and the dormitory arranged, although the house is not big, it is still a wing room, but inside and outside, it is very clean and elegant, with everything you should have, even on the table. With a radio, it was much better than I thought.

After thinking about it like this, I remembered that I sat in a first-class seat that I had never sat in before. Thinking about it, the money was not paid by a non-profit organization. The non-profit organization is very strict in reimbursement, and it has to be announced to the public. How could it be possible to book a first-class seat? .

"Mr. Lu, thank you!" Mr. Zhang picked up the can with both hands, but seeing that Lu Ming was a bowl, he felt that this was inappropriate, so he put down the can and picked up the original bowl.

Everyone, just started laughing again.

The dumplings were delicious. After eating a few, Lu Ming looked at Liu Jingtang next to him, "Uncle Liu, is there something wrong? See what you've been trying to tell me?"

Liu Jingtang smiled wryly: "You can't hide anything from Mr. Lu. I wanted to wait until you finished eating. You're here, and you haven't rested yet."

Lu Ming smiled: "Tell me, what's the matter? About the black boy?"

After hesitating for a while, Liu Jingtang sighed: "No, it's my old friend, Boss Guo of Jingyang Mine. He knew that I followed a boss from Donghai. He called me yesterday and hesitated for a long time. Sorry to say, I asked him, it was him, he wanted to ask you from me, to see if you have enough funds, to see if you are interested in his mine, he is willing to transfer the mine to you at a low price, or you buy shares That's fine, his mine still has more than 30 years of mining rights."

After a pause, Liu Jingtang said again: "Although it is my former employer and my old friend, I still have to say, Mr. Lu, I will bring this to you for him, it is my duty to be a friend; but I Look at him, he wants to transfer the mess to you, and he takes a large sum of money to leave, Mr. Lu, let me remind you, it is my job as the shopkeeper to the owner."

Lu Ming smiled: "Then let's see what the price is. If it's reasonable, it's not like there's no room for cooperation."

Liu Jingtang looked up in surprise.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Just reply him like this."

Liu Jingtang blinked his small eyes, but he knew that although the boss in front of him was young, he was not easy to fool, and he must have his own plans.

"Okay, I'll call him when I get back."
