The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 323 Requirements for Eating and Getting Cards (Subscription Required)

  After dinner, Lu Jianguo went to the third construction company in the county. After sending him out, he had another conversation. Because Song Na was curious about where Lu Dong grew up before, Lu Dong simply led Song Na out to go around.

  The two went out and headed north, preparing to go to the embankment.

  Song Na looked curiously as she walked, so the streets from south to north are full of old houses, which are rarely seen even in the countryside.

   "It feels quaint." After a meal, Song Na had a bottom line in her heart and was in a better mood: "There is a heavy sense of history."

   Lu Dong laughed: "I don't feel the weight of history, but I feel that there are many insects and mice. In my room, as long as the weather is warm, a scorpion and centipede will fall from time to time. Last time I was called a scorpion sting."

  Song Na looked back and forth. Seeing that there was no one on the street, she quietly grabbed Lu Dong's arm: "You are the leader of the Five Poison Sect, and bugs are naturally close to you."

   Lu Dong took her and turned to the river bank: "The insects are about to be eaten and killed."

  Song Na said, "Uncle Seven is really amazing. The itchy and spicy jars can be made into special delicacies. The taste is quite good. If energy production is used, can it be made into a special product of Lu's cooked food?"

Lu Dong pondered for a while: "Don't say it, you can try it, no one cares for this stuff, but it's flooding on the trees, and it's everywhere in eight villages. I'll try to get some some other day and see if I can get it, but I can't batch it. You can also make your own food for production.”

  Song Na said casually: "It tastes good, it can be used as a snack for children."

   For some reason, Lu Dong suddenly thought of Lu Lanlan.

   Don't talk about bugs, as long as it's delicious, Lanlan long bugs will dare to eat it for you to see.

   It is estimated that the seventh uncle has never eaten for Lanlan, otherwise the itchy spicy peppers on the river bank will become extinct, and Lanlan, who dares to use an axe to chop the pig's head, is not a piece of cake.

  The two came to the riverbank, and Song Na looked at the "century-old" locust tree surrounded by them, and walked around curiously.

   Even in the southern mountains of Qingzhao, such a thick tree is very rare.

   Lu Dong said simply: "This is the Zhenhe Sacred Tree. It is said that there is a big long worm under the tree. Once it comes out, it will cause trouble and harm the village."

  Song Na asked curiously, "The Lady Bai in the Lujia Village version? Do you have Xu Xian here?"

Lu Dong told the truth: "Seventh Uncle made up and created the version of the myths and legends of Lujia Village." He took the lead up the river bank, waited for Song Na to come up the ramp, and then said: "The various ghost legends in Lujia Village, a small number of them are the old one. Most of them were made by Uncle Seven when he was young, and it has been passed down for more than ten years, and the big guys can’t tell which ones are old and which ones are made up by Uncle Seven.”

   "I feel that Uncle Seven is very powerful." Song Na looked at the Qingzhao River. The water in the river was not completely dry, and the stagnant water was yellow-green. The river was also full of rubbish, which was completely different from her impression. She asked, "Didn't you say that you often swim in the river in summer, in this kind of water?"

  Lu Dong understood what she meant: "It was when I was a child, and the pollution has been severe in recent years. The last time I actually went down into the river was when there was a flood last summer."

  In winter, there is basically no strange smell on the embankment, and the two walked north along the embankment.

  Song Na came to a sour jujube tree and saw that there were newly broken branches on it. In the high places that were out of reach, she could also see itchy spicy jars, but it was hard to see the lower ones.

   Lu Dong said: "It is estimated that Seventh Uncle picked it."

  Song Na nodded slightly: "Seventh Uncle is very attentive."

  Seventh Uncle brought such a big bag over, but Fang Yan didn't dare to eat it, obviously he was asking her to try something new.

  The two came to the Triangle Dam. The embankment here is the most repaired, and there are many traces of repairs. Compared with the damaged embankment on the opposite side, this side looks much stronger.

   Standing at the front of the triangular dam, Song Na asked, "This is where you almost found yourself talking?"

   Lu Dong stomped the Sanhetu under his feet: "Wen Yue was here at the time, fortunately nothing happened..."

As I was talking, I thought of more than a year ago, and of more than ten years ago, when I turned to look at Lujia Village. At that time, most of Lujia Village collapsed into the ocean. Although it was rebuilt later, Lujia Village was not only destroyed by this flood. The house, as well as the human heart and will, is like a broken spine. Even if it is healed, it will never return to the way it was before.

   In the end, this smaller and poorer village, like most small villages in Taidong, did not escape the fate of being annexed.

   Lujia Village has completely become history. When Lu Dong’s generation is gone, maybe not a few people will remember that there is still a Lujia Village here.

  It was also when the village was annexed that Lu Dong knew about the land where he was born and raised, and how important his hometown was in his heart.

   Therefore, in the summer of 2019, even if there was a violent storm, even if Lujia Village had already called for annexation and the administrative division was revoked, Lu Dong still drove the car, came back against the wind and rain, and returned to this embankment to fight the flood.

  Probably, it is also to make up for the guilt in my heart, for the old and young who fell in the flood.

   Fortunately, the fate of Lujia Village has changed.

   What will happen in the future, no one knows, but in Lv Dong's view, it's better than the poor one who used to be, no one is needed, no money is needed, and finally it is better to call other villages to annex.

   It is really a stepmother to call for the annexation of Fuyu Village.

  Song Na saw Lu Dong staring at the village in a trance, she didn't speak, she kept standing here with him.

   After a while, Lu Dong said embarrassedly, "I lost my mind."

  Song Na smiled: "It's okay." She asked curiously, "What did you think of?"

   Lu Dong said simply: "I was thinking, if the flood flooded the embankment that day, Lujia Village would not be like it is now."

   "Isn't it all right?" Song Na said with relief: "Don't think about these bad things. Look, the river embankments here have been repaired and strengthened, so you won't be afraid of floods again."

   "Yes, maybe it won't be able to carry it for too long." It's not that Lu Dong has no awareness of the overall situation, but one person's strength is limited in what he can do: "It's enough to carry it longer than other places."

  Song Na reminded: "Let's talk about this by ourselves, but don't go out and talk nonsense. You are not an ordinary person, and you will be criticized by others."

Lu Dong thought of the identity of the card carrying committee member, since he enjoys the convenience, he must also take responsibility, and said: "When the meeting next year, there is no movement, I will propose a proposal to repair the river embankment, even if it can't be demolished and rebuilt, we must find a way to strengthen ."

  The whole Qingzhao, because of the flood, because of Lujia Village, because of the university town, because of all kinds of things about Lu Dong, there are too many things that have changed. Who can guarantee that the flood of the scale of 1998 will not happen again until 2019?

  Song Na knew it was difficult, but said, "That's fine, no matter what, I can remind the top."

   Recently, she went through various procedures with Natasha and dealt directly with many departments. She saw too many things, and some things didn't make her eyebrows angry. She didn't want to solve them at all.

   This is still a university town where Yang Liewen constantly regulates and strengthens management.

  It is difficult to do things, and it is equally difficult for people who want to do things.

  Lü Dong saw that Song Na was a little depressed, and quickly changed the subject: "Look over there, that's Uncle Tie's chicken farm."

  Song Na saw the factory building with white walls and blue roof, covering a large area.

Lv Dong continued: "The factory in the village and our company's store have expanded, and Uncle Tie's processing factory has also expanded. Most of the people in the village work in the cooked food processing factory. Comparable to the ordinary administrative staff in the county, they all have high incomes in the countryside.”

   Song Na listened, occasionally adding a sentence or two.

  What Lu Dong does can help those around her, she has always believed in this.

   Further north, get off the river bank, and walk along the gravel road, it is the former apple orchard and now the Lujia cooked food processing factory.

   This is a busy time, and there are cars coming and going on the road. Song Na watched from a distance for a while, and didn't come over to cause trouble.

   Through contact with the seven uncles and seven aunts of Lujia Village, Li Wenyue, Uncle Tie, and others, she roughly understood that Lu Dong was an absolute leader among the younger generation in the village. It would be a hassle to bring his girlfriend there.

   Just looked at the divine beast squatting on the ridge of the columbarium, and walked back with Lu Dong.

   went home and chatted with Hu Chunlan and Li Min for a while, during which Hu Chunlan gave Song Na a red envelope, and Song Na said nothing.

  Song Na declined: "Aunt, I'm still a student."

  Hu Chunlan said with a smile: "Xiao Song, if you don't accept it, my heart is empty."

  Song Na understood the meaning of this, and Fang Yan also persuaded: "Hurry up and put it away, or my aunt will really lose sleep at night."

   Hearing this, Song Na could only put it away. Lu Dong brought some special food from the deli factory into the house from outside, and Song Na said goodbye.

   The group went out, sent them to the car, and did not go back until Lu Dong drove out of the old street.

   Li Min said to Hu Chunlan: "Okay, now you should rest assured."

  Hu Chunlan laughed: "Xiao Song and Dongzi are old classmates, and both of them know each other well. Her parents, the Seventh Family, have met many times, and they are not the ones who have much trouble. Dongzi is lucky to find such a person."

  Fang Yan also said: "I have been in contact with Xiao Song a lot in the past few months. She has nothing to say except that she is a little stronger."

  Hu Chunlan said again: "It's just that both of them are a bit dark, and there will be a child in the future, what should I do if it's dark or not?"

   All three laughed.

   Back in the university town, Lu Dong asked Song Na, "Where are you going? School or community?"

  Song Na said: "Go to the community, my parents are still waiting."

   Lu Dong said with a smile: "Reassure your parents, my mother thinks that you have wronged you by looking for me."

  Song Na was surprised: "Why?"

   Lu Dong said casually: "The scholar has found a scumbag, don't you feel wronged?"

   "What kind of a scholar I am." Song Na smiled: "Let's not talk about the level of sports students, my grades are not very good."

   Entering the north of the community, the car was parked beside the building, Lu Dong opened the trunk and let Song Na carry her things.

  Song Na was helpless: "I'm going here, and I've received red envelopes and carried things, and I've got food and cards."

   Lu Dong closed the trunk: "This is a return gift, I don't know much about it, you can just take it, I won't go in."

   "Okay." Song Na was about to leave and turned around and asked, "Where are you going tomorrow?"

   Lu Dong said, "I'm going to Quannan, Mr. Fan from Guangmei Electric called me yesterday and made an appointment to meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow."
