Chapter 74 Veteran Brother vs. Jiaojiao Educated Youth (14)

Lu Chaoli had already picked up his hat in front of the stall.

"Young man, do you want to buy a hat?"

The stall owner's aunt who was sitting on the small bench got up and walked over after seeing Lu Chaoli. Only then did Tie Zhu notice that his boss had stopped in front of the stall selling hats.

Looking at Lu Chaoli's stern head, Tie Zhu smiled.

Before he came, he reminded the boss to wear a hat, but the boss refused to listen. Now he was sweating profusely from the sun!

I originally thought that Lu Chaoli was going to buy a hat for himself, but when Tie Zhu saw the hat he finally picked up from the stall, his eyes widened!

"I want this one."

"This is fifty cents!"

Before Tie Zhu could react, Lu Chaoli had already taken out the money from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

Lu Chaoli looked at the hat in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued walking forward.

After coming back to his senses, Tie Zhu pinched his face fiercely.

"Hey, it hurts!"

He read it right, the boss just bought a women’s hat!

Looking at the style of that hat, it’s not what Aunt Lu is wearing at all. Could it be...

Thinking of something, Tie Zhu's eyes lit up and he chased after him as if his soles were oiled!

"Boss, boss, who are you buying this hat for?"

Tie Zhu's eyes were bright as if he had determined a new continent, and he looked at Lu Chaoli for a moment.

"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

Lu Chaoli raised the corner of his mouth, did not answer Tie Zhu's question, and quickened his pace towards the brick kiln.

"Boss, boss, just tell me! Is there anything we brothers can't say between us?"

Tie Zhu followed him with a smile, and no matter how much he inquired about Lu Chaoli, he remained silent. Lu Chaoli raised the hat in his hand in front of him, and the smile on his face deepened.

Tie Zhu, who had been staring at him, naturally did not miss the expression on his face. Tie Zhu rolled his eyes, and an answer that was ready to come out emerged from his mind.

"Boss, are you buying this for your sister-in-law?"

Tie Zhu's words were shocking and he looked at Lu Chaoli with a sly look.

Lu Chaoli paused for a moment after hearing Tie Zhu's name, and then raised his eyebrows, as if he was satisfied with the title.

He looked at Tie Zhu aside with a smile in his eyes. Just when Tie Zhu thought he was going to recruit him as expected, Lu Chaoli said two words lightly.

"you guess."

After saying that, he continued walking towards the brick kiln, and Tie Zhu stamped his feet anxiously.

"Boss, boss, wait for me!"

Tie Zhu kept asking questions all the way, and his words were almost worn out, but he didn't ask for a reason. He never expected that the boss, who was always thick-skinned, would become shy about this matter!

Tell him what happened?

He is not an outsider, really!

But the fact is that it is not that Lu Chaoli is shy, but that he knows the temperament of these brothers very well. If they know that he likes Comrade Xiao Jiang, he guarantees that these people will be able to block the educated youth center tightly later!

Before there was any news about the incident, he did not want to burden Comrade Xiao Jiang.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. A group of brothers, like Sherlock Holmes, noticed Lu Chaoli's abnormality and began to stare at him.

In the end, Lu Chaoli and Tiezhu visited three brick kilns and chose one with suitable price and quality. They planned to discuss with Lu's father and mother before starting to buy bricks to expand the pig factory.

After Lu Chaoli returned to the village entrance, he did not go to the educated youth station to give his hat to Jiang Li. Instead, he went straight home. He had no choice but to find Tiezhu, who was watching him all the way like a thief. He could only find another one. This is an opportunity to give the hat to Comrade Xiao Jiang.

As soon as I got rid of Tiezhu and returned home, my mother Lu pestered me again just after I got home. "Chaoli is back, come in quickly, mother has something to ask you!"

After seeing Lu Chaoli through the window, Mother Lu quickly waved to him.

Lu Chaoli hid his hat behind his back and looked at Mother Lu who was smiling suspiciously: "Mom, why are you so happy?"

"Come in quickly, I have something to ask you!"

At Mother Lu's urging, Lu Chaoli walked to the main room, hid his hat, and then went to Father Lu and Mother Lu's room.

Father Lu and Mother Lu were sitting cross-legged on the kang. Father Lu had a cigarette stick in his mouth, and Mother Lu was holding a half-filled shoe sole in her hand.

"What's wrong, mother?"

"Chaoli, where did your hat go?"

Mother Lu looked straight at Lu Chaoli, even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes exuded anticipation.

Lu Chaoli said without changing his expression: "When I went to Huzi's house yesterday to help, I ended up at Huzi's house. What happened, mother?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Lu's eyes showed a hint of suspicion. Could it be that she had thought wrong?

Seeing that Lu Chaoli was still waiting for her to reply, Mother Lu said casually: "Nothing, I just asked casually because I didn't see your hat."

"Oh, when I go to Huzi's house, I will bring the hat back."

Father Lu was holding a cigarette in his mouth, but his face didn't change much. He knew it was his mother who was thinking about it all day long!

"Mom and Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

"I heard from Huzi that you went to the brick kiln with Tiezhu just now. You probably wanted to talk about the expansion of the pig factory."

After learning that Lu Chaoli had just gone to the brick kiln, Father Lu had already guessed what he was going to say.

Lu Chaoli nodded: "Yes, Dad, I want to expand the pig farm before the policy is issued. After the policy is issued, I will go to the town to apply for a breeding certificate. I heard that I can get a lot of it." There’s a subsidy!”

"Chaoli, but that policy is just a rumor now, and there is no certainty when it will be promulgated. Is it too early to expand the pig factory now?"

Mother Lu is a little worried that the gossip is inaccurate. If it is inaccurate, there will be no subsidies. Without subsidies, expanding the pig factory is not a small sum of money.

"Mom, no one person is talking about this. I believe the policy will be issued soon."

Lu Chaoli looked determined. He had a very strong feeling in his heart that it would not be long before an unprecedented and grand change would occur.

"I can't make up my mind about this matter. You and your father should discuss it carefully. I'm going to feed the chickens."

The chickens in the yard were clucking and clucking. Mother Lu put her shoe soles on the kang and got up and went outside the yard.

"Dad, what do you think about this?"

Lu Chaoli sat on the kang and looked at Father Lu, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Father Lu frowned: "Chaoli, expanding the pig factory is not a trivial matter. The pork market has not been very good recently. If the bet is wrong, all our family's wealth will be lost."

"Dad, I understand what you are saying. But if you make money in business, you will lose money. It is stable now, but when the policy comes down, more and more people will raise pigs, and we will not have any advantage."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you miss it, you will never see it again. Dad, there is no need to rush to give me an answer now. It will not be too late to wait until you have thought it through."

Father Lu lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Lu Chaoli did not rush him and gave him enough time to think about it.

Lu Chaoli knew that this move was quite risky, but he had already done a risk assessment before making this decision. Once the policy was issued, there was a 70% chance that their pig farm would become bigger and stronger.

As the cigarette pole in his hand burned out, Father Lu finally raised his head.
