Rising from the age of thirty

Going home is always busy. The village chief came to thank Lu Le specially. Without the jobs provided by Lu Le, the young generation in the village would not know how to make a living.

Furthermore, the environment in the factory is better than other places, and the salary is as high as 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. It is worthy of everyone, and if we work hard, we can get rich together.

They live to make a living, but Lui Lok is the one who makes the big money!!
The village chief handed over a cigarette and said, "Ah Le, our village is so lucky to have you."

Lu Le took it and put it in his ear: "Village Chief, why are you saying such polite words again? I didn't do anything. It doesn't matter who I recruit."

"Why, do you look down on my cigarettes? I really don't want to smoke Yunnan Yunnan cigarettes. I know that you all started with Zhonghua cigarettes when you have money to smoke."

Lui Le smiled bitterly: "No, I quit smoking recently."

I'm not lying. In the past, I had to share cigarettes with others to make a living, and life was stressful, so I would smoke a cigarette from time to time. Now that I'm a successful person, I only smoke occasionally.

The village chief nodded and said, "You are right. Quitting smoking is a good thing. It is for the sake of my family and myself. Smoking is harmful to my health. I am old and I don't have many happy days left. So I won't quit."

Lui Lok understood and habitually took out a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket, Liqun Fuchun Siju, which cost 20,000 yuan a pack. These were not bought by Lui Lok himself, but given to him by a customer. Sorry, I forgot who gave it to me as I made a lot of money.

The village chief chuckled, revealing his yellow teeth: "Ha, your cigarettes are still the best."

Lui Le: "Village Chief, I have to thank you for the proof of the house on the road at the entrance of the village."

"Why are you being so polite? We are all from the same village. Besides, I have this responsibility too. If you buy the land, do you think I won't stamp it for you?"

"No way."

"By the way, let's put one thing first. On the third and fourth days of the lunar year, all the young people in the village will come back. We need to hold a meeting regarding the matters concerning the ancestral hall. Please arrive early in the evening and hold the meeting under the big tree at the entrance of the village." The village chief patted Lu Le on the shoulder and then left.

Ancestral hall?

Lu Le wanted to laugh.

For so many years, the old ancestral hall made of mud bricks and tiles has not been renovated properly and is still dilapidated and leaks when it rains.

Every year during the Spring Festival, the village chief organizes everyone to hold a meeting to donate money for the construction of the ancestral hall. More than ten years have passed, and there is little money in the public account.

Lu Le thought that based on how much donations could be collected and how much it would cost to build the ancestral hall, he should divide the amount per person and demand that it be collected compulsorily.

I don’t understand why it is so difficult to accomplish something that will benefit future generations.

Also, in the rural areas of Ping County, almost every village has public places, such as basketball courts, elderly activity centers, etc., but the village where Lu Le lives does not have any! !

At this moment, a voice broke Lu Le's contemplation, "Hey, Lao Qi, what are you staring at?"

"Fourth."

"What's wrong? Are you just sitting there in a daze?"

Lu Quan took a puff of his cigarette, then passed one to Lu Le. Lu Le pointed to his ear and did not take it.

"The village chief just said that there will be a meeting tonight!"

"What? Another meeting? What's the theme this year?" Lu Quan smiled!

"The ancestral hall."

"Damn, that ancestral hall can't be discussed in a day or two, otherwise it wouldn't have been shelved for so many years."

"Yeah, I don't know what to say. If it's a matter of money, we should force it."

Now that Lui Lok is rich, donations are not a problem, but a plan must be come up with.

The fourth brother came over quietly and whispered, "Seventh brother, I heard it's not about money. If it's about money, everything will be fine." Lu Le was puzzled: "Then what is...?"

The fourth brother: "You know, our upper and lower families are no longer on good terms, so they don't care about our affairs, and we have a lot of internal conflicts."

In the village where Lu Le lives, people with the surname Lu are divided into the upper family and the lower family, and Lu Le's branch is the upper family. The upper family has an ancestral hall, and the upper family is divided into four branches, corresponding to the four people in charge.

Lu Le nodded: "What does the ancestral hall have to do with the intrigues among the middle-aged generation of the four families?"

"Of course it's okay. It was fine before. Among the four families, only the head of the first family was doing well. The head of the second family was also okay, but the third and fourth families were not so good."

The eldest branch of the family is the one passed down from Lui Lok's grandfather's grandfather. The reason why they are said to be doing well is that Lui Lok's uncles and aunts bought houses and cars, and their children are outstanding.

For example, Uncle Ten!

A top university student, with several houses in Focheng and an annual salary of hundreds of thousands!
Uncle Shi’s achievements are naturally inseparable from the cultivation of his parents. They are workers who have insurance when they get old. They are typical cultured people.

But they are not like those in other families, who cannot produce a decent person. They are all illiterate and work on the farm at home, working diligently from sunrise to sunset.

For example, the father of the fourth child, Lu Quan, although he did not graduate from elementary school, dared to leave his hometown. Li Qingmin was in the lime business in his early years and made it prosperous in Guangdong Province. He even bought two houses in Ping County!

Li Qingmin is still doing his old job now, and he must be making 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a year, right?

In short, no one in the big house, no matter whether they are old or young, is a loser. From the old generation to the young generation, everyone can find a job to make a living.

As for those with third and fourth rooms, there are few people, they cannot go to school, and even if they go out to work, they are still mediocre. The older generation just farms at home and occasionally does masonry work. Let alone buying a house or a car, it is good enough that they can support their children.

Especially the fourth room, the younger generation, only has four or five males!
Compared to the big house where Lui Lok lives...it's really infuriating!!

Lui Lok alone has nine cousins, not counting his tenth uncle's.

Lui Lok's father had 14 brothers!

Uncle Fourteen is only a few years older than Lui Lok!

It can be seen that this family is very prosperous.

Lui Lok was puzzled: "I still don't understand, what do you want to say?"

"Listen to me. In the past, our happiness index was higher than that of three other families. But now... look at you!" The fourth brother looked at Lu Le with a smile.

Lu Le: “…”

grass! !

What does it have to do with me?

Lu Le smiled bitterly. Although he is now prosperous, he was still poor half a year ago.

Moreover, it is said that the rich are the best. Before Lui Lok became rich, Lui Ching-kuo had been working away from home all his life, and his family still lived in an old house, so how could they have any money...

"The older generation is superstitious and says that renovating the ancestral hall will bring good luck to the family!"

got it?
The fourth child said.

Lu Le suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

"I heard from my father that building an ancestral hall is a big deal. The last time we moved, it brought good luck to our eldest family. It's better to believe it than not to believe it."

"We want to renovate the ancestral hall and make it beautiful. We don't have to worry about it collapsing when it rains, but the people in the third and fourth rooms are trying to stop us." (End of this chapter)
