Chapter 34
Lightning slid past, illuminating the sky covered by night, raindrops fell densely, hitting the blue brick floor in the yard, crackling constantly.
It was getting late, but Lu Dong was not asleep. He would walk around several houses from time to time, worried that the house would leak rain if it was too long.
The weeds on the roof had already fallen, and the old house was still strong.
Lu Dong observed for more than ten minutes, and there was no sign of rain. He returned to his house to prepare to go to bed.
He took out the industrial and commercial card that he had just saved today, and Lu Dong was in the Chinese dictionary in the book box. Except for a small amount of daily change, all the money he earned in more than half a month after he came back was in the card.
The biggest income was to sell the white porcelain vinegar plate to Zhengda Art Company. Lu Dong gave Hu Chunlan 400 yuan for 1,000 yuan, of which 320 were paid for the overall withdrawal, and the rest was used for household use.
During this period, because of going to school, Hu Chunlan also ran to Shilibao Market for Lu Dong, and of course Lu Dong would not ask his mother for money.
Get rid of these, as well as the expenses such as taking a car, buying pig blood and daily life, there is still 1,300 yuan in the bank card!
The little cicada monkey and the leech that even feeds chickens have brought Lu Dong an absolute high income in this era in a short period of time.
Of course, these two commodities are extremely seasonal.
As the water level of Qingzhao River further declines, August gradually approaches, and fewer lees and cicada monkeys will become less and less.
Lu Dong is preparing a new plan. Every day when he comes back to the university town, he will be familiar with the environment, understand the construction site, inquire about the start time of each school, etc.
Worried about forgetting, I bought a small notebook to write it down.
As far as Lu Dong knows is concerned, there is no business in the university town at present. Not to mention hotels, shops and shopping malls, there are even very few mobile vendors.
The students who moved into the university town this year were destined to work hard for a while. They originally wanted to go to big cities when they went to college, but they came to a county town where they didn’t have villages before and didn’t have stores before. It was inconvenient to buy anything, and it was not easy to consume if they had money. When they graduated and left, the university town was well built and turned into a new city.
Perhaps their college life is gray.
Commercial supporting facilities were naturally reserved in each school, but after Lu Dong asked his elder brother Lu Chun to inquire, he automatically gave up.
It takes more than just money to open a store in college.
Lu Dong couldn't find a relationship and didn't have that much money to feed her big mouth.
Therefore, all the mid-to-high-end ways that float in the sky are not within his plan.
Their own capital is here, and the plan must be in line with the actual situation.
Lu Dong has seen many times in the University Town, Shilibao Vegetable Wholesale Market, and Western Market. He has also thought about many things. He has not come up with a new plan out of thin air, but has been observed on the spot for many days.
But he still didn't make the final decision because he had to read and learn more about it later.
The more you learn about it in the early stage, the less risk you will be in the later stage.
After all, I have too little money in my hand and can't stand the trouble.
Lu Dong lay down and listened to the drizzle outside, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten the other three things.
The catfish I caught have not been sold because the price is low because the reservoir lifting gate has caused it to be low and has been kept in the water tank. As the water situation becomes smaller, the price of catfish nearby has rebounded. I will accumulate some and drag it to sell it.
There is also the news clue bonus for Fang Yan. I have been so busy that I haven’t touched the ground recently that I have no time to ask.
I think this kind of news needs time to investigate and verify, so it is not too late to call and ask next month.
Only if you do good deeds and receive rewards can you continue to do it for a long time.
For a general public like him, it is unrealistic to only give without asking for rewards.
As for the county’s advanced individual rewards for flood control and disaster relief, there is no way to inquire about it, but the commendation meeting is about to be held.
What is the material reward? I hope it is cash, so don’t give a trophy.
Thinking of what was there or not, Lu Dong entered his dream.
As soon as the sky was dawn, he got up on time, beat the sandbag first as usual, and then washed the scrub to the orchard for dinner to get things. Yesterday, there were few lees caught, so it was not worth a special trip to the Western Market.
This thing has strong vitality, so it’s not too late to save more and sell it.
Lu Dong brought the cicada monkey with him, found a convenient bag to wrap the hard cigarette case tightly and stuffed it into his pocket.
Pets must be with you!
After meeting Qiao Siliang and Qiao Weiguo that day, Lu Dong found that he could not be careless and should carry his own hidden weapon with him in case of emergency needs.
It had just rained and the dirt road turned into a cement road. Lu Dong rode to Ji Street. The mud blocked the mud tiles and wheels three times, and had to get down and throw them away before leaving.
The weather was still very cool at first, and after the sun rose, it instantly turned into a big steamer.
When they arrived at Shilibao Market, Lu Dong was sweating all over, but fortunately there was no dust.
More than 600 cicada monkeys sold for 96 yuan. Brother Niu ordered money to Lu Dong and said, "Brother, you can't admire your perseverance! I was so old like you, and I was able to endure so hardships. In those days, I was a second-hand dealer and I would have become a big boss."
Lu Dong took the money and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, in my eyes, you are the big boss."
This person is indeed realistic, but how can it be unrealistic when doing business? After dealing with so many days, Brother Niu is not a good person, at least he is not bad-hearted.
That's not to say, life is not easy, and good people are those who can keep the moral bottom line.
Brother Niu took out a bottle of iced Sprite from the house and threw it to Lu Dong: "I will lend you a good word, I will become the big boss as soon as possible."
"Don't forget to pull your brother at that time." Lu Dong answered.
Brother Niu laughed: "There is really a day I can't forget you!"
Sprite put it into the plastic bucket, Lu Dong waved to Brother Niu, looked at various goods on the market and walked towards the gate.
When he arrived near the transmission room with a faucet, Lu Dong saw a familiar figure carrying a bag from the bicycle storage area.
This man is tall and thin, with a dark and shiny face covered with sweat, his short hair is stained with grayish white, and there is a little dark mud near his head. His half-sleeved sleeves and trousers are also grayish white.
Except for his face and arms, the whole person seemed to be rolling in cement ashes.
She held a bag and saw Lu Dong.
"Have you burned lime?" Lu Dong greeted him: "Song Na, if I hadn't seen you a few days ago, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Song Na wiped the sweat from her face: "Come in a hurry, wash your hands and face after night shift and rides a bicycle out."
Lu Dong asked, "So urgent?"
Song Na simply said: "It rained last night, and I went to catch some mountain buffaloes. Someone in the stone yard was in a hurry to ask for goods, so he worked extra night shifts to the night. He went home at around 5 o'clock this morning. The mountain buffalo was a little dead and had not had time to clean up, so he came over quickly."
When Lu Dong approached, he saw more clearly that Song Na's body was not gray, all of them were gravel, and some were the size of rice grains, mixed between her hair.
"Too thirsty!" Song Na pointed to the faucet that conveyed the outdoor: "I'll go and have a drink."
Lu Dong took out the iced Sprite, unscrewed it, and handed it over: "Drink some?"
Song Na was just a sports student and didn't care so much. She took it and looked up and took two small sips.
When she raised her head, some debris fell from her head.
Lu Dong found that there was a thick black mud mark in the middle of Song Na's clothes behind her, all the way to her head.
Song Na eased her thirst a little, stopped drinking immediately, and said, "It's so good!"
Lu Dong pointed behind her: "There is no mud tiles on the rear wheel of the bicycle?"
Song Na touched the mud above her head, but she felt a little embarrassed: "Big Golden Deer is too old, the rear seat and mud tiles have been broken long ago, and it is easy to get rid of mud when it rains."
She remembered the tuck in her hand: "I'll go sell the mountain buffalo first. Are you in a hurry to leave? Are you going to another place? If not, go to a place together."
Lu Dong signaled to the bicycle shed: "I'm waiting for you there."
"Okay!" Song Na hurried into the market.
Lu Dong looked back and saw that Song Na's gray hair and the black mud mark on her back were particularly eye-catching.
Song Na's family is in the southern mountainous area of Qingzhao. When she returned to the county town and went south, it was much further away than going to Lujia Village. According to the time Song Na said, she set out earlier than Lu Dong and arrived later than Lu Dong.
Lu Dong didn't know what was going on at Song Na's family, but a girl in the mountainous area had to work in a gravel yard to earn tuition, so she couldn't think it would be much better.
It is easy to be self-reliant, but how difficult it is for an 18-year-old to do it?
Song Na, a sports student who was specially recruited to the school, scored more than 500 points in the college entrance examination, but she just didn't want to ask for help because she couldn't afford it.
Schools are never isolated from society.
Human relationships and relationships are often directly linked to money.
Lu Dong suddenly remembered that drinking carbonated beverages for those who practice sports was not good, so he went to a nearby store to buy a bottle of pure water for one dollar. After waiting for a few minutes, Song Na hurried back, and her dark face smiled like a dahlia again.
Needless to ask, the labor she put in was rewarded.
"I finally didn't make a trip in vain." Song Na quickly walked over: "Luckily, it's not worth it if you die."
Lu Dong handed her pure water: "Give it, drink this."
Song Na did not politely to Lu Dong, took it, unscrewed it, took a big mouthful, and wiped the corner of her mouth: "It's great! I earn more than I do a day of work, but unfortunately it doesn't happen every day."
Lu Dong went to push the bicycle: "There are many insects in summer, so if you have the opportunity to earn more, you will be much easier to go to school."
Song Na also launched a bicycle, the 28-year-old golden deer, without the rear fender tiles and the back seat, like two old cars assembled: "Let's go!" She rode on the bike, waited for Lu Dong to follow, and said, "I can't earn money from mountains and rivers without the news you gave me. I'll treat you to lunch when I go to the county town."
Lu Dong did not refuse directly, pointed at her clothes, and refused politely: "One other day."
Song Na lowered her head and saw her gray-colored look: "Okay."
The two passed by the university town and deliberately passed by the provincial sports college. The newly built school was quite grand.
Lu Dong said some things he learned: "Many schools in the university town have teachers going to work, and they are preparing to start the new campus. I guess you will receive the admission notice soon."
Da Jinlu stopped at the gate of the Sports Academy, and Song Na posted her long legs on the ground. She suddenly felt that she was no longer tired, no more bitter, no more pain, and her life was full of hope.
Here is her future!
"What do you want to do in the future?" Song Na asked suddenly.
Lu Dong's answer was very vulgar: "Make money, my family and I live a good life."
Song Na said: "I used to think that I could come out of the mountains, not move out, but really walk out."
Lu Dong laughed: "You did it."
Song Na also laughed: "I did it."
The two left the university town, came to an intersection, and rode towards their respective houses separately.
Lu Dong returned to the village and received a notice asking him to attend the county's flood control commendation meeting.
