The most excited person is his younger brother Lu Dingyuan.

He raised his head and stared at Lu Huaian, not even bothering to eat: "Really? I don't have to pick up cow dung in the future?"

Lu Baoguo's face sank and he shouted: "What's wrong with you? I'll eat your food!"

"What are you scolding him for? How old is he?" Zhao Xuelan felt sorry for the guard.

Unable to see her like this, Lu Baoguo turned to Lu Huaian: "What did you say?"

"I just happened to be passing by today and heard Uncle Zhou talking about something." Lu Huaian looked relaxed and slowly picked up the sweet potatoes: "When they left, I looked for Uncle Zhou. He saw that I heard it, so he didn't hide it from me.

There is new news from above..."

Party Secretary Zhou has a long-standing reputation. After all, he can write and calculate. Everyone basically believes in what he says.

On the way back, Lu Huaian figured it out and said directly that his parents would definitely not agree, but anyway, they respected Party Secretary Zhou and would not confront him face to face. Why didn't he use the banner as a tiger skin?

"Not only will the work branch be gone, but the brigade will also be disbanded." Lu Huaian finished speaking in a few words and concluded: "Uncle Zhou said that there are many opportunities outside now, so he found a relationship and asked someone to take his nephew out. I will join him.

I went up to ask for a favor, and he agreed to take me with him."

Take him with you?

Lu Baoguo pondered, not even bothering to eat: "His nephew is the one who finished primary school..."

For a while, he couldn't remember the person's name.

"Hey, yes, that's him." Lu Huaian remembered clearly: "The fair and clean one, the one you call the college student."

This title was purely made for fun by everyone.

After shouting for a long time, I didn’t even remember his real name.

Lu Baoguo couldn't help laughing after hearing this and glared at him: "It's just a random name. I don't want to tell anyone about it."

"I know." Lu Huai'an sighed.

Speaking of Uncle Zhou's nephew, he is really a nerd.

I can only read, but my brain is rusty from reading. I went out this year, saying I was going to school, but I was deceived on the way and I never heard from me again.

I've been there for decades, but no one is alive or dead.

Poor Uncle Zhou had no children. He only had such a nephew, who felt regretful and painful, and would sigh when he met everyone. He was particularly impressed by this.

"That's okay..."

Lu Baoguo died, and Zhao Xuelan coughed heavily.

"What's wrong?" Lu Huaian subconsciously put down his rice bowl and turned to get the water.

The moment he stood up, he saw his mother's face turning pale and staring at his father.

This is?

Before he could react, Lu Baoguo sighed: "Huai'an, logically speaking, you are young and it is right for you to want to go out. We shouldn't stop you, but you have also seen that there is an old man in our family.

, there are younger ones below, and you are the boss..."

Lu Huaian had already thought about it, and immediately said neatly: "I have made money, and then I will pay your work points together, so it will be easier."

Their family was really poor. They were living a life where every meal consisted of sweet potatoes, not the soft and glutinous ones from the back. He really couldn't stand it.

I thought I was sure of it, but my mother shouted sharply: "No!"

"Why?" Lu Huaian looked at her in confusion, wondering: "Don't you always want me to make money?"

I have been talking about it all my life, saying that he is useless and complaining that he cannot make money.

"I didn't!" Zhao Xuelan's face turned red with anger. She hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth and said, "You can't go out anyway!"

I didn't even eat anymore, so I got up and left.

This anger was really inexplicable. Lu Huaian was confused and turned to look at his father: "Dad, what's wrong with mom?"

"fine."

Lu Baoguo couldn't eat anymore, so he put down the bowl and picked up tobacco: "What about you... If you want to make money, follow me and learn how to make bamboo poles."

In the past, Lu Huaian always pestered him to learn, but he never taught him.

"Ah?" Lu Huaian smiled. He was about to say that he had already met before, but suddenly paused.

Yes, he really hasn't learned anything at the moment.

When he first started learning, it was because when the family separated, he had nothing and no money to give birth to a child, so his father agreed to teach him this job, cutting bamboo to make baskets, and earning some money to make ends meet.

How come this is so early?

He couldn't say what he already knew how to do, so he simply refused: "No, you can make some money. This is a rare opportunity. I happen to have an acquaintance here, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Who is worried about you?" Zhao Xuelan rushed in from behind the door, pointed at his nose and cursed: "I see you are married, your wings are stiff!"

She turned pale with anger, pointed at Shen Ruyun and shouted: "You are the loser! Unlucky guy! Nothing good will happen if I marry you! It's all you who instigated him to do it, right!?"

This really makes no sense.

Shen Ruyun was angry and aggrieved, her eyes were red, but she straightened her back and gritted her teeth, refusing to admit defeat.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice was thin and soft, but extremely firm: "I didn't!"

"It's none of her business." Lu Huaian frowned, with a puzzled look on his face: "Mom, I'm willing to go out to make money and make progress. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Yes, it's a good thing!" Lu Baoguo interrupted Zhao Xuelan, stared at her, and looked at Lu Huaian with a smile: "Your mother, she just can't let you go. You know, she always values ​​you, so she feels distressed."

He knocked his cigarette pole on the edge of the table and narrowed his eyes: "It's not a small matter to travel far away. The travel expenses are a threshold. It's not that dad won't help you. It's just that he just got married for you and can't pay for it, so you can't. You can’t let people pay for it, right?”

After all, they are husband and wife. Zhao Xuelan instantly understood what he meant: "I'm telling you, if you want to use money as work points, you can, but I won't pay a penny!"

Lu Huaian was stunned.

Seeing that he was being frightened, Zhao Xuelan raised her chin proudly: "Besides, your wife has to go to work. If she doesn't go to work, how can she eat?"

Let Shen Ruyun go to work? Lu Huaian frowned.

She is only so old...

"You are just careless and can only think." Zhao Xuelan kept talking, getting more and more enthusiastic: "Oh, you think you will go out as soon as you talk about it? Do you need a set of clothes? Do you need shoes? Food? You have to bring all the drinks, right? Don't tell me to buy it outside, the supply and marketing cooperative only charges tickets, what do you have?"

They were speechless. She finally felt comfortable and glanced at him sideways: "When you go out, you have to open your mouth. You go, you should go. Do you have money? Do you have a ticket? You don't have to pay anywhere." You don’t even have the money for the ticket!”

Lu Huaian has sorted out his family fortune. In the past few years, he has been working with his father, cutting bamboo and other things. His father gave him a dime to make ten baskets. After deducting what he usually spent, he has saved just one yuan and thirty cents. .

One dollar and thirty cents would not be enough to buy two lollipops in the future, but now it can do a lot.

Lu Huaian didn't talk back, just smiled: "I'll save some money and go."

"Hey, hurry up then, and don't say that I'm blocking you from getting rich."

Weird and strange.

Lu Huaian was speechless and was too lazy to argue. He glanced at Shen Ruyun and said, "Come over and collect my clothes after eating."

Shen Ruyun felt like she was being pardoned and quickly put down the bowl and stood up.

Sure enough, she went out to collect clothes, as sincerely as a little fool.

"No need to collect it." Lu Huaian pointed to the eaves: "I've hung mine here, that's my dad's."

"Ah." Shen Ruyun quickly retracted her hand and followed him into the house.

After closing the door, Shen Ruyun stopped talking.

Lu Huaian wanted to laugh and sighed: "Just say what you want to say, I don't eat people."

"Ah, no." Shen Ruyun glanced at him carefully and hesitated: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the county." Lu Huaian has already thought about it clearly. He doesn't know what the situation is like right now. The city is too far away. The Chinese New Year will be celebrated in a few months. He doesn't want to go far. He will go to the county to make some money first and wait until the new year passes. :"What's wrong?"

Shen Ruyun thought for a while, lowered her head and smiled: "No, you are right, progress is a good thing."

After getting an accurate answer from his family, Lu Huaian went to see Party Secretary Zhou the next day.

"What?" Zhou Party Secretary couldn't react: "You said, your parents promised to let you go out to make money in exchange for your work points?"
