Peerless little Shennong

Chapter 18 The Upstart Temperament

"I didn't lie to you big sister. Mr. Xia told me that it costs seven yuan to come to your house to pull apples. I brought all the money. Your son is really promising and grows such good apples." Liu Changyuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for me, don't rush to stay home for dinner, big brother!" Lu's mother was very happy, she was hospitable on weekdays, and wanted to keep Liu Changyuan at home for dinner.

"No big sister, I have to hurry back! Let's talk about it another day, and we will have a long time together in the future!" Liu Changyuan liked the plain and unpretentious character of the farmers.

Lu's mother never dreamed that the apples in the orchard could be sold for seven yuan a catty. In the past, those who came to collect apples at home only cost one or two yuan. Now it is so much higher, and no one can accept it for a while.

Not only Lu's mother was happy, but Lu's father was also laughing from ear to ear.

After weighing, the ten baskets of apples were 600 catties in total. Lu Xiaobei took a round number and charged Liu Changyuan [-] yuan.

Putting on the apple, Liu Changyuan waved to the Lu family and drove back to the town.

Lu's mother counted the money, her face was full of joy, she handed the money to her son without saying a word and said solemnly: "Son, this money is for you, and you will take care of it in the future! Our family has hope! You are better than Dad Mom has brains and is more promising than us!"

Father Lu grabbed his son's shoulders and said with a smile, "That's right, our son has inherited my good genes from Lu Danian, hahaha..."

Lu Xiaobei needed the money to expand the orchard. He took the money and said to his parents: "Mom and Dad, I want to rebuild the orchard with this money. Give me some time, and our family's debt will be repaid! Trust me!"

"Believe it, one hundred believe it!" the parents said in unison.

Lu Xiaobei has earned more than 1 yuan in total in the past two days, which is almost the same money to buy brick circles and build an orchard.

Lu Xiaobei suddenly remembered the waste bricks that were left over when the village director's house was demolished. Although most of those bricks were half a block, they were completely fine for building walls.

When the construction team was working, the foreman asked Lu Xiaobei to pick up the whole bricks for use, and half of them were piled there. Lu Xiaobei decided to take over the waste bricks.

So Lu Xiaobei asked his parents to go home first, and he went directly to the village director's house.

With so much money in his pocket, Lu Xiaobei instantly felt much stiffer, and he could even walk with ease!

The village director's house is building a small two-story western-style building, and he lives temporarily in the village committee compound.

The village director's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Tianqiang.

In Datao Village, the surname is mostly Zhao, and the Zhao family is a big family in the village.

Zhao Tianqiang has seven brothers, all of whom are well off.

People in the village often joked that the seven brothers of the Zhao family were called the Seven Cucurbit Brothers only by an elderly grandfather.

They all said that the seven brothers Zhao Tianqiang were capable, capable, and lived a prosperous life.

In fact, everyone knew behind the scenes that it was Zhao Tianqiang, the village director, who secretly helped the Zhao family raise money.

These days, officials no matter how big or small have their own means of earning money, and Zhao Tianqiang, the village director, is no exception.

For a wealthy family who can afford to build a small two-story western-style house in the countryside, one can imagine how he got his money.

These things are all rumored by the villagers who have nothing to do, but of course there is no actual evidence.

No one has the ability to find evidence to expose the village director. If Zhao Tianqiang finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

They are all from the same village. If you don’t look up and look down, you’re done talking. No one has the guts to expose it!
Lu Xiaobei went to the village committee compound and found Zhao Tianqiang.

This kid also wears casual clothes at home, flip-flops, big pants, and is shirtless at home fighting landlords on the computer.

"I'm sorry, I'll crush you to death, I'll blow you up..." There was a classic battle sound from the speaker.

Zhao Tianqiang, with a fat head and big ears, was smoking a cigarette. He clicked the mouse and threw out a bomb. He clapped his hands happily.

"Xiao Bei is here, wait until I finish this game!" Zhao Tianqiang was having a good time playing, and asked Lu Xiaobei to sit down casually.

"Alright Uncle Zhao, don't worry, you play first!" Lu Xiaobei sat down with a smile.

Zhao Tianqiang likes to gamble. Rural people have no time to play cards during the busy farming season. In winter, when they are free, they will play cards and mahjong.

It's summer now, and the villagers don't have time to play tricks, so Zhao Tianqiang just plays online. The village committee compound has computers and broadband, which is convenient for Zhao Tianqiang.

"Win!" Zhao Tianqiang dropped the mouse and retreated temporarily.

"Uncle Zhao is really good at poker!" Lu Xiaobei flattered him.

"That's right, Xiaobei, what do you want from me?" Zhao Tianqiang threw a cigarette to Lu Xiaobei and boasted, "Try this cigarette, Dazhonghua. There are dozens of packs in a box, and you must have never smoked it before."

"I can't afford it, hehe!" Lu Xiaobei echoed casually, thinking: You'll be arrogant with a box of Dazhonghua, why don't you go to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Thinking so in his heart, Lu Xiaobei didn't say so, he continued to ask: "Uncle Zhao, can you use those waste bricks on your construction site for me?"

"What do you want those waste bricks for? I heard from Wang Dalong that you quit your job, what happened? Wang Dalong bullied you again!"

Zhao Tianqiang is a bully in the village and doesn't take anyone seriously. Wang Dalong is like a hair in Zhao Tianqiang's eyes.

This guy is also rough in speech and has a carefree personality. Everyone in the village is afraid of him.

"I don't want to do it, I want to circle the apple garden at home with those waste bricks." Lu Xiaobei didn't want to say too much about the construction team. He would not go back. He paused until he was overwhelmed.

"That's it, those waste bricks are useful, you just take them!" Zhao Tianqiang was full of nouveau riche temperament, and a little waste bricks were of no use to him.

"I'm going to build a small western-style house, and I'm the first one in Datao Village! Is Xiaobei good or not?" Zhao Tianqiang began to brag again.

Lu Xiaobei couldn't accept it, so he tried hard on him. Lu Xiaobei felt that if Zhao Tianqiang stayed in a big city, he would have been beaten 180 times.

"Uncle Zhao is a real cow, the heifer is flying on the plane, the cow is better than the sky!" Lu Xiaobei echoed with an epilogue.

"Hahaha, well said, I love to hear that!" Zhao Tianqiang said with a wave of his hand, "Go and get it, I don't want your money, I know the situation of your family, and I am going to help you apply for subsistence allowances Where's the house!"

"Thank you, Director!" Lu Xiaobei really didn't expect Zhao Tianqiang to do such a good deed.

In fact, Lu Xiaobei didn't know that Zhao Tianqiang's application for the Lu family's subsistence allowance was not out of good intentions, but he actually wanted to make a fortune from it.

"You're welcome, we're all from the same village. If you have any difficulties, you can find the director. I promise to take care of it for you!" Zhao Tianqiang said arrogantly.

"Alright director, then I'm going to pull bricks!"

"Go, let's go, I'll continue fighting the landlord!" Zhao Tianqiang immersed himself in the game again.

Lu Xiaobei left the village director's house and went directly to the construction site.

A few minutes later, Lu Xiaobei arrived at the construction site, but the foreman Wang Dalong was not there.

Old man Liu saw Lu Xiaobei coming, jumped off the wall and came over.

"Xiaobei, why are you here again? Be careful these few days, Wang Dalong said that he wants someone to deal with you!" Old man Liu pulled Lu Xiaobei aside and whispered.
