Chen Min couldn't wait to say, "Then I'll pay the money early and book the shop, so I don't have to worry too much. Xiao He, how do you make Bobo Chicken Spicy Hot Pot? Teach us."
They had eaten it and it was delicious, but they hadn't seen how it was prepared.
"Xiao Yan has some seasonings. I'll call her later and ask her to mail some to us."
Zhang Yulan sighed: "Our business is thriving, thanks to Xiaoyan. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't even have the capital to start a business."
He Miao agreed and said, "In the future, we should treat Xiaoyan better. Doesn't she like to eat mushrooms and bamboo fungus? I'll go to the countryside to collect some and mail them to her so that she won't be short of food.
What we have, she has, and what we don't have, she also has. We can only do what we can and don't take it for granted."
Zhang Yulan looked relieved: "Your uncle has already bought it and will deliver it in two days. Let's do business with peace of mind. Making money is the kingly thing."
Lu Jiandang took some time to come over, worried that their business was not doing well, and offered some words of comfort.
Unexpectedly, the two sides reversed and the business was booming. Zhang Yulan took out the money she had earned and counted it in front of him.
Lu Jiandang’s eyes were as big as copper bells. He was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Zhang Yulan also gave him ten yuan in pocket money and asked him to take good care of the baby at home. She said that she would bring the baby with him once he settled down in the city.
From now on, they will also be city dwellers.
When Lu Jiandang returned, he was full of confidence. He had just come back from harvesting mountain products and was humming a tuneless tune.
Several old men asked him, "Old Lu, you look so radiant, did you find some money?"
"How is your wife's business going in the city? If you can find a way to make a fortune, take us with you. I'm so tired of being poor."
"I've been in poor health this year and haven't earned many work points. It's not my family's turn to get food and meat at the end of the year. Life is getting harder and harder."
"Didn't your two daughters-in-law go there too? A family of three in the county town would have to spend a lot of money every day, right? I think they just want to have some fun.
As the elder, you have to say something. Otherwise, if you abandon the younger one and run away with someone, how will you explain it to your son?"
"Old Lu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you act like the boss, that woman will just go back home in shame. Is there anything good to stay in the city? Even eating cabbage costs money."
Everyone believed that the Lu family did not make any money. If they wanted to make money, they would have already made it known to everyone.
You can't really make money and get rich in a low-key manner, right?
What people are most concerned about is, "Old Lu, who are you going to give up your position to? It won't be that kid from the Zhou family, right? He is still young and has too little experience.
Even if you become the team leader, you still can't convince the people, and you are not as good as us in farming. If you want to quit, consider us."
"Old Lu, I can recognize a few words. You and the commune secretary recommended me."
One said, and everyone said, being the team leader is a good title, and one can also make some money from it. After working in the fields all his life, who wouldn't want to be an official for a few days?
Lu Jiandang frowned and said calmly: "This is not my decision. If you have any intention, you can report it to the commune. I will follow the organization's arrangements. I will do whatever the organization says."
No, does he have such a big say? What he says is what it is, and the commune will also examine it from all aspects.
If it is suitable, you will be promoted; if it is not suitable, you will be demoted. It is true that you can farm, everyone can farm, but what is lacking is the leadership backbone to make everyone live a better life.
I am afraid that the kind of people who use chicken feathers as a token of authority to seek benefits for their own family will become the one who has the final say in the team. What kind of situation would that be?
If you want to be an official, you have to do practical things. Just because he thinks so doesn't mean that others think so too. They all think that he doesn't want to give up power.
It seems that he hasn't served as the team leader for long. After he took office, didn't he apply for a tractor and was evaluated for excellence several times?
If we let them come, they will all make the team flourish.
There were also some sarcastic people who wanted to sow discord and asked him, "Your elder brother went to Beijing and settled down in a big city. He won't come back in the future, right?
You are born of the same mother, and now that he is well, he doesn't even think about helping you. That's too selfish."
"Well, if I were you, I would have said it all. Who wouldn't want to go to the city to eat commercial grain? Jingshi, that's where the big leaders live. If I could go and see it in my lifetime, I would be satisfied."
As they talked, they observed Lu Jiandang's expression. Lu Jiandang sneered and said speechlessly, "You guys are almost buried in the earth, and you still care about the gossips of other people. How do you know that my eldest brother didn't help me?
Let me tell you, my husband's business is doing well. After a while, our child will be transferred to the county town to study. In July, our family will go to Beijing.
My eldest brother said he would take us around and then go to the Northeast to hunt for spores.”
It's like a drop of water splashing into an oil pan, making a crackling sound.
Everyone was in disbelief. What? The second Lu family was going to Beijing. What kind of fate was this? How did he have to suffer this fate?
They want to go too.
Lu Jiandang continued to brag: "In my life, I have never been far away. My eldest brother misses me very much and often calls me to remind me not to forget. If he didn't call me, I wouldn't want to go.
As a brother, it is not good to offend him, so I will go reluctantly. I am afraid that none of the brothers in your family have ever been to the provincial capital. My eldest brother is the most thoughtful one.
Let your elder brothers learn from them, and if they work harder, you don’t have to envy me anymore. After all, my elder brother is the best.”
After saying that, he rode away on his 28-inch bicycle. All of these grandsons' faces turned green.
It's not groundless. Lu Jianguo called and said he had discussed it with his family, and everyone unanimously decided to go to Beijing.
The kids also clamored to go, so I had to take them to see the world. After they made up their minds and got admitted to Beijing, their future would be bright and promising.
Who doesn’t want their son to become a successful person and their daughter to become a beautiful woman? This is the painstaking effort of parents.
He gradually handed over the matters in hand to Zhou Hua, who handled them very well.
By July, he will have to be the team leader. Those old men are very selfish and cannot shoulder the burden of the team, so it is better to give it to the young ones.
He is energetic, courageous and can bring the team to another level.
Now, he has nothing to worry about. All the debts for the famine have been paid off, the family has a huge savings, and his wife's business is booming.
At this rate, he will be able to buy a house in the city soon. Who says he is a peasant?
He, Lu Laoer, will become a city dweller one day and drive a car!
Life is just so good.
Most people in the village are worried that you are not living well, but also worried that you are living too well. Some people also took what Lu Jiandang said to heart.
When I plan to go to the county town to buy something, I'll stop by to take a look. Why is his business so good?
Don't try to show off your wealth. Instead of learning good things, you end up learning bad habits.
