The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 137 It’s Harder to Open a Road without a Road (Seeking Subscription)

On Sunday morning, Lu Dong packed up, took two sheets of paper, and went to the brigade's yard with Hu Chunlan. The papers were all the things that had been written down in the past two days. .

   Whether writing letters or writing these things, Lu Dong can see his biggest weakness.

   The future is sure to charge.

   Of course not now, he doesn't have the time, he missed the opportunity to start the university town, and it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future.

   Walking on the old street, Hu Chunlan suddenly asked: "The one who often writes to you is Liu Zhaodi, the female champion of Liu Wan?"

   "Yes." Lu Dong said casually, "I didn't write often, so I wrote it twice."

  Hu Chunlan didn't know what she was thinking, and muttered: "Liu Zhaodi..."

  Kacha——

   There was a crisp sound on the ground, and Lu Dong sank half of his foot into the ice, and his sneakers were stained with black mud.

   The temperature has been heating up recently, and the thick layer of ice and snow on the ground has melted a little, and every now and then, a nest will come out and bite people's feet.

   Lu Dong was very helpless. He found a stick skin on the side of the road and wiped the black mud on his feet.

   "This old street, when the weather is a little warmer, becomes a concrete road." Lu Dong threw away the stick skin and said, "I don't know when it will be repaired."

  Hu Chunlan walked in front: "There is no money in the village, so I can't do anything."

   This is true. I have no money, and I want to improve the living environment. It is all empty talk.

   turned to Jijie and entered the yard of the brigade. Hu Chunlan said to Lu Dong, "Go, I'll go to your aunt's place to sit down."

   Lu Dong went directly into the office, and there were a few people sitting sparsely inside.

   Several more people came over one after another.

   Those who can participate in this meeting today are recognized as capable people in the village.

   Of course, with Lu Zhenlin's prestige in Lujia Village, if he really wants to make a decision, the big guys will listen.

   When it was almost eight o'clock, Lu Dong took a closer look.

   Two people from the brigade, Lv Zhenlin and Li Accounting.

   Then came the 30-40-year-old backbone generation, Lv Jianguo arrived, Lv Jianwu rushed over from Quannan, and Li Banshan, one of the best businesses in the village, who was engaged in the timber business.

   Then there is Uncle Tie Rooster. As a professional chicken farmer for many years, he is also relatively wealthy and knowledgeable in the village.

   Lu Dong moved a stool and sat near the iron rooster.

   In the office, he is the youngest.

   But after these few months, no one has any objection.

  Lu Zhenlin was sitting at the desk, looking at the book in his hand intently, his two thick eyebrows were like swords.

   Every decision he makes in the future will affect the future and destiny of Lujiacun.

   Lu Lanlan ran in from outside the compound, moved a maza to sit between Lu Dong and Tie Rooster, holding a box of sorghum glutinous rice in his hand, eating happily.

   Lu Dong stretched out his hand: "Lanlan, give me a piece."

  Lv Lanlan looked at Lu Dong with an embarrassed look on her face, she finally made up her mind, took out a piece from the box and put it in Lu Dong's hand.

  Iron Rooster turned his head and glanced, that look made Lu Dong almost jump up.

   Lu Dong returned the sorghum glutinous rice to Lu Lanlan: "Brother Dong teasing you."

   Lu Lanlan took it and quickly put it in his mouth, muttering, "I knew that Brother Dong wouldn't grab it."

  Lv Zhenlin looked around the office, saw that everyone was almost there, and said, "Everyone is quiet!"

  The office immediately quieted down.

The    man stopped speaking, and another voice stood out.

  Iron Rooster has a radio on his wrist as usual, and is playing music gently.

"Looking at the sky above the sky, walking on the Pingchuan under the feet, facing the whole family of children and grandchildren, but the prayer in my heart! You sigh..."

   Lu Jianguo reminded: "Old iron!"

  Iron Rooster smiled embarrassedly and quickly turned off the radio.

Lu Zhenlin went straight to the topic: "Today, we have called the old and young men here to discuss the future plan of our Lujia Village! This year, our village has experienced a lot of things. Have you noticed that in today's society, you can't do anything without money! Think! I can't do anything, and I can't do anything to make our village better!"

  The people present here, either have fairly low positions in the public sector, or make a fortune in a big city, or do business, all agree with Lv Zhenlin's point of view.

   "If you don't have money, you will fall behind, and if you don't have money, you will be poor!" Lu Zhenlin knocked on the table: "Without money, we can't even guarantee the education of our children!"

   Although he is not young, his voice is still loud: "Where does the money come from? I can only find a way to earn it!"

Accounting Li took over the words: "This year was the first flood, and the green onion market was not good. Every household was not doing well. It is unrealistic to expect the old and young men in the village to share the money equally. , I can't add more burdens to the big guy! Is it really possible to have a morning steak house?"

He sighed: "Some things must be resolved, and money is needed to resolve them! We have two things, and the time has come when we cannot resolve them. First of all, the primary school, the adobe classroom, was a dilapidated building ten years ago. This has not been resolved, the north wind blows this winter, and the cold air is digging in through the cracks in the walls and windows, and now I use plastic sheets to nail the north windows and part of the wall, and the briquettes for heating are all bought by big guys.”

"Then there is the river embankment. It is said that the repair will be started during the dry season. There is no belief here. We cannot wait indefinitely. We have no right to tear it down and rebuild it. We must repair the damaged sections. There is a preparation."

  Including Lu Dong, everyone understands these situations and knows that this requires money, and it requires a lot of money.

Lv Zhenlin added: "The children have survived this winter with no problem. After ten years, it is not a problem to endure for another year or two, but they cannot go on like this forever. No matter how poor they are, they can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard they are, they can't suffer the next generation! The embankment must be repaired in spring!"

He patted the table: "We can't take risks with more than a thousand people, old and young, in the whole village! After the flood receded, I ran up and down, and tossed it for several months, I figured it out, it's better to rely on yourself! Let's find a way to earn money Money, find a way to solve your own problems!"

  Li Banshan raised his head and said, "Third Uncle, do whatever you say, we will do it!"

  Lv Zhenlin has already made a decision on this aspect: "In the middle of the mountain, in the yard of the brigade, the primary school, and along the river bank, we have hundreds of big trees. You are in the timber business, so you organized all the people to cut them down as start-up capital."

   "Okay!" Li Banshan said, "Third Uncle, as soon as you give an order, I'll go and assemble the staff!"

  Lu Jianguo was relatively steady, and asked, "Third Uncle, what do you plan to do?"

"This time I asked everyone to come together to discuss the specifics." Lu Zhenlin opened the notebook, glanced at it, and said, "Since August 15th, I have been to many places one after another, Fuyu Village in our county, Fuyu Village in Linxian County. The village, Zhou Ping in Bincheng in the north, Weiqiao in textiles and Dongwang in sugar, especially Dongwang in sugar, in the 1980s, was not as big or rich as our village, but now... It’s a big company, and we’re still digging food from the ground facing the loess and back to the sky, and people have already made money from foreigners.”

The recent experience has had a big impact on Lv Zhenlin: "If you want to make money, you can only develop a sideline! I have considered three aspects. The first is to paint like Kangjia Village in the upper reaches of the Qingzhao River. The county paint factory closed down. The old masters come back, they have technology and experience! Paint, the market demand is also large, mainly in the furniture and construction industry, our village has advantages, the fifth is in charge of the third company, and we can take care of it to some extent.”

"The paint industry can't be handled properly and will harm future generations!" Lv Jianguo, who is engaged in the construction industry and knows a lot about it, was the first to object: "Small workshop-style production and the highly toxic chemicals must be considered. Third Uncle, Kang Jiana A small factory will make the lower Qingzhao River stink into the sky!"

   Lu Dong said at the right time: "I have a classmate from the Kang family. I heard that the small chemical factory, that is, the paint workshop, all the trees nearby died."

  Lv Jianwu has been abroad for many years, and his vision has broadened: "The country will sooner or later deal with chemical pollution, and Quannan has already caught it very strictly. If we start a small workshop like this, the risk is too great."

  Iron Rooster didn't understand so many big truths, and combined his own experience, he said: "In autumn, I went to the river to wash a pot. When I came back, I forgot to rinse it with tap water, and gave it to the chickens directly. More than ten chickens died."

  Everyone knows that raising broiler chickens can even frighten them to death if they move a little louder, but the words of the iron rooster also show how serious the pollution in the river is.

  Li Banshan also said: "I walked near a small chemical factory, and the smell alone is unbearable."

Seeing that no one agreed, Lu Zhenlin added: "The second is a brick and tile factory, which was built in our village in the early years. During those ten years, it was abandoned and not picked up again, but people are there and the technology is there, so I can do it again. The old can lead the new. Many people in our village are engaged in the construction industry, and there are many people who know this industry, and the sales of bricks and tiles are easy to open. I heard that the prices of red bricks and red tiles have been increasing..."

   Lu Dong could tell that what the third grandfather considered was always the advantage of Lujia Village.

   Whether paint or bricks, are closely related to the construction industry.

   One of the most famous livelihoods in Lujia Village is a mason. In recent years, there have been people like the fifth grandfather and his uncle who have a certain right to speak in the Qingzhao construction industry.

   There is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​using the existing advantageous resources to drive the development of Lvjia Village.

   Starting from nothing is the most difficult. Whether it is an individual entrepreneur or a village collective entrepreneur, of course, you must choose the one you are best at.

   But according to Lv Dong's memory, brick factories and paint factories will become the target of rectification in a few years.

   It is impossible for the small factories in the village to survive this policy alone.

If    is really shut down, it won't be long-winded. This kind of small factory that destroys land resources is not negotiable across the board.

Lv Dong was thinking about what to say, and Lv Jianguo spoke again: "Third uncle, it is true that the price of red bricks and red tiles has increased, why is the price increased? Beihe is the largest brick and tile production area in Quannan. The kiln factories are called to be shut down, the supply of goods is tight, and the price of the goods will naturally rise."

  Lv Jianwu obviously didn't communicate enough with his father. At this time, he said: "Brother Jianguo is right. We have to consider the policy. I have university classmates in the resource department. This industry policy is too risky."

   To ask these well-informed people in the village who are often engaged in business to discuss, this is to brainstorm ideas. Lv Zhenlin's prestige is not false, but he also knows that because he is old, he must ignore all aspects.

   He continued: "The third one proposed by Dongzi, who is also good at and famous in our village, boiled water."

   The third chapter is being revised and will be released later.
