The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 195 Pay attention to work (please subscribe)

  The sun just rose in the morning, and people went to the embankment of the Lujia Village section of the Qingzhao River one after another. Lu Dong rode out of the village and went to the embankment.

   The weather at the end of March was quite warm, and the poplar saplings planted during the Arbor Day had already sprout green shoots.

   Most of the trees were cut down last year, and this year the village replanted.

  There is no need to mobilize the busy and strong labor, and all the work of planting trees is done by the children in the fourth and fifth grades of the elementary school.

  The trees planted are mainly common trees in the north such as locust and poplar.

  Lü Dong passed by several large willow trees, with thousands of silk threads hanging down from the yellow-green canopy.

  These willows are also left over from the village, not because they are old enough, but because few people want them. The whirling willows are easier to survive than the sturdy trees.

  Many mature trees have been cut down round after round, but the graceful willows still stand.

  Beside the largest willow tree, several children were folding wicker, and one climbed on top of the tree.

   It’s almost the Qingming Festival. It’s an old custom here to plant willow branches at the door of the Qingming Festival.

  Lu Dong stopped the motorcycle, looked up at the tree, and said to the boy above: "Nails, be careful!"

  The nail broke a willow branch and threw it down, saying, "It's all right!"

   A young child picked up a willow branch and ran over: "Brother Dong, give me a whistle."

   All were children on the old street, and Lu Dong did not refuse. He took the willow branch with the buds hanging in it, held it in his hand, and twisted the bark of the willow branch with his thumb and index finger.

The willow bark turned, Lu Dong twisted it a dozen centimeters, broke the branches, bit the wood under the bark with his teeth, pulled out the smooth white pole, turned off the fire and took the copycat multifunctional knife hanging on the motorcycle key. Cut the skin into three sections, and peel off the outer skin at the top of each section.

   He took one and blew it hard.

   "Woo-woo--"

   The whistle sounded slightly duller than the sports whistle.

   "Brother Dong, give me one!" The child shouted: "Brother Dong, give me one!"

   Lu Dong handed the remaining two whistle to the child, and said to the nail on the tree: "Be careful, go to school quickly, you will be punished if you are late!"

   The teachers of this age don't let the students down at all.

  In the primary school in the village, there are two teachers who are very good. When dealing with naughty children around ten years old, they not only slapped, but directly wrestled on their legs.

   Under normal circumstances, children are beaten by teachers at school, and when they come back, they will be beaten by their parents again.

  Lü Dong walked north along the river bank. The outside of the river bank was dotted with green spots. Several aunts and aunts were digging up shepherd's purse and noodles, which are two kinds of wild vegetables that are often eaten in rural areas.

  The bitter vegetables are also turning green, and they are served with sesame juice and garlic.

  Spring is here, everything is revived, and it seems that the bugs have also woken up.

  Lü Dong looked at the sour jujube trees on the river bank, but they had not yet sprout.

   Came to the Triangle Dam, Lv Dong saw Lv Zhenlin and Li Accounting and other people standing on the embankment, parked their motorcycles, and climbed up the lower lane.

  Because the Qingzhao River was seriously polluted and the stench was high, Lu Dong didn't come here for a long time.

  On the river bank, I found that the river was not only dry, but even the bottom of the river was cracked.

   "This year may be a little dry." Li Accounting said: "It rained last year."

  After the Chinese New Year, the snow has not fallen on Qingzhao's side, and the rain has not fallen.

  Lv Zhenlin looked at the sandbags piled up last summer: "I can't take risks. If there is a game like last year, the old river embankment can't hold up."

  Lu Dong took a step forward along the Triangle Dam and asked, "Third grandfather, the report has never been approved?"

  Lv Zhenlin shook his head slowly but firmly: "No, there has been no news from above, and there should be no hope for this year." He coughed and said, "It's April, and the rainy season is three months away. We can't wait."

  Although Lu Dong has the impression that there will not be a flood comparable to last year until the summer of 2019, but who would dare to gamble with more than a thousand people, old and young, in the whole village.

   Lu Dong said: "We don't have the ability to tear down and rebuild, and we don't have the right to do so, but we can reinforce the areas that were not so strong last year."

   "I think so too." Lv Zhenlin's two thick eyebrows were like sharp swords: "It's better to rely on ourselves than anyone else. I plan to pay 50,000 yuan in advance from the dividends of the food company's village committee shares this year..."

   Lu Dong said directly: "My shares are also included."

   This matter, no one can stay out of it.

  Lu Zhenlin nodded: "Okay! Next month, I will call up the staff and strive to complete the work by the end of April."

Lv Jianren came up from the river embankment when he heard Lu Zhenlin's words and said, "We don't want the embankment to be able to withstand the flood for a long time, as long as it can withstand the other villages in the upper reaches, we will be safe if the upper reaches a hole. already."

  No one present said something was wrong, not even Lu Zhenlin reprimanded.

   As the leader of Lujia Village, Lu Zhenlin's first consideration is always Lujia Village.

  Lv Jianren squatted on the edge of the Triangle Dam, looked into the river, and said, "The water is dry, go down with a shovel, and you can dig out a lot of loach." He turned to look at Lu Dong: "Dongzi, my grandfather..."

   Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhenlin scolded: "Old Seven, Tang Gong is waiting for you to weld equipment in the factory, so hurry up."

  Lu Jianren got up and patted his buttocks. He walked north and said, "Don't dig out all these loaches and waste them! Dongzi, Jingzhe is too long ago. Go catch the bugs and call your seventh uncle."

   Listening to catch the bugs, Lu Dong held his face hard, but he couldn't help but looked inside the river bank, under the skin made of rammed earth, in those cracks, scorpions, centipedes and the like could often be found.

  Come over another day to catch a few? Anyway, the earth scorpion, throwing it out and stinging a dozen or two people is fine, at most it is a pain point.

   The old river embankment is repaired, and Lujia Village is unable to tear it down and rebuild it. Even if it is capable, it can’t be done. If there is no unified plan, you will tear it down and rebuild it. What do you want to do?

   As for the primary school, the children in the village have to endure another winter.

   Difficulties have to be solved one by one, and they must be done all at once. In the end, nothing can be done, and the food company that has finally grown up will be brought down.

  Lü Dong went to the processing factory in the north again. The transaction between the food company and the old Du family has been completed. All equipment including two forklifts have been shipped back. The construction of two large cold storages has been given priority, and the main body is basically completed.

   When he entered the gate, he happened to see two refrigerated trucks carrying goods out.

   "Dongzi!" Li Mingxuan in the next car greeted Lu Dong.

   Lu Dong asked loudly, "Where is this delivery going?"

   Before the car went far, Li Mingxuan's voice came over: "Quannan, I have to run twice today!"

  Lü Dong turned around and saw that it was late. He rode his bike to the University Town. When he was heading south, he passed by the Tie Rooster Gate and looked in through the open gate. The factory building of the chicken farm was also expanding.

  Uncle Tie and Auntie Tie's business seems to be not bad.

   At 9:30, Lu Dong came to the front of the store, and within a few minutes of opening the shutter door, Gao Ming came first, and the others came one after another before ten o'clock.

  The business in the store is mainly based on students. After the community such as Wenyuan, a school in the later period, people move in, some people may come to spend.

  This Monday, compared to the hot opening yesterday, it will be class time, and the store is relatively deserted.

  Qiao Weiguo led six people to work, mainly preparing ingredients for lunch.

  Lu Dong moved a stool and put some posters that Ivan and Natasha had taken on the posters on the outside wall of the store.

  I found a rag and wiped off the bronze nameplate of the unit jointly built by the police and the people.

   There was a reprimand not far away, and Lu Dong turned his head to see that the dynasty led people to drive out those stalls that were not operating in the designated market.

  After Lu Dong moved out, one of the three stalls in front was given to Lao Liu, and the joint of the two who sold fried dough sticks and tofu brain took up.

   The latter two made up for the fees that Lu Dong had already paid.

   There are also rumors in the market that the greenhouse market in the north has been built, and the temporary market here will be removed soon.

   This is a small square in the planning, and the developers of Xuefu Wenyuan have great opinions on the temporary market after the store is officially built.

   There are five or six people who do not enter the market to operate. When Chao Dynasty and others came over, they couldn’t help but jump around.

   After a while, the market quieted down, and the law enforcement team prepared to withdraw.

   Lu Dongchong waved at the dynasty: "Brother Wang!"

  Dynasty took a look and led three of his subordinates over. Lu Dong was no different from before, he took out his cigarettes and scattered them around, and stuffed the rest into Dynasty's hands.

   "Come in and sit down." Lu Dong invited.

  Dynasty is very particular. Yesterday, I saw the sign of the non-smoking shop written in the store and said, "We will talk about it after smoking."

  Zhang Long walked to the poster, looked at the advertisement of Big Ivan and Natasha, and asked, "Lu Dong, you are so generous, you have invited foreign stars to advertise?"

   Lu Dong smiled: "How can I afford to hire foreign stars for this petty fight. This is a shareholder who invested together and a foreign teacher in a provincial university."

  Dynasty exhaled a cigarette and said, "You think too much."

   Lu Dong could understand and speak: "Brother Wang, I can't help it either. I can't just bother you and my brother when something happens."

This is a fair word, and Wang Chao is also a sensible person, saying: "Lu Dong, you are right, what can be solved by yourself still has to be solved by yourself, your brother is in a critical period of progress, you encounter Please find him once, and maybe let him have multiple obstacles."

   Someone new came over in the square, and they would set up a stall at will. The dynasty said to the three subordinates: "Go and see, just drive people away, don't mess around."

   Zhang Long and the three hurried over.

   Lu Dong told the truth: "Brother Wang, you have such a good attitude, not many."

Wang Chao smiled: "It's not easy for anyone in the village. Some people patronize me and scold me, so I don't think about it. If they want to eat, I also have to eat. Now the boss of the management committee is very strict, and I want to lose it. If you have a job and someone else will come here, it will not be as simple as driving people away."

   Lv Dong believes that, in terms of joint law enforcement, the dynasty is absolutely gentle and careful in doing things, regardless of the five majors and three crudes.

   I have never seen him confiscating people or things.

   Dynasty said: "There are too many bankrupt factories in the county, and too many people have been laid off. There must be a way for people to survive."

   After smoking a cigarette, Lu Dong invited him into the store for a while, but Wang Chao declined: "I just came here yesterday, so I won't go in. It's alright, it's time to go, I have to look elsewhere."

   Lu Dong didn't say much, he took a handful of mineral water from the store and handed it to Zhao Hu who came over.

   For nothing else, it’s worth it just for these few people to pay attention to things.

  Huang Yong came out of the store on the north side and chatted with Lu Dong a few words. The supermarket on his side was about to open.

   Lu Dong was about to enter the store, and a familiar person came out of the industrial and commercial building being renovated to the east.
