At four o'clock in the afternoon, the first truckload of canned goods was loaded. At the current rate, a maximum of seven thousand cans could be produced per day. Lu Feng stood at the door watching the departing vehicles and silently wished himself good luck.
It wasn't until 7 p.m., when the workers had finished their shift, that Lu Feng checked the day's accounts. Zhou Hao had left some money here, a full one hundred yuan!
"Big Head, what's your educational background?" Lu Feng asked casually while looking at the ledger.
"Brother Feng, I've finished junior high."
Lu Feng looked up at him in surprise. This guy actually only graduated from junior high school. He has a high level of education!
Da Tou felt Lu Feng's strange gaze and said somewhat aggrievedly, "I was a very good student. I even got into high school, but my family wouldn't let me continue. You all think I'm stupid, but I'm honest, not stupid!"
Lu Feng chuckled at his words, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I don't think you're stupid, Da Tou. You need to manage this ledger properly. Do you know how to keep accounts? How much goods were shipped, how much was the deposit, how much grain was received, and all the receipts need to be complete. Do you know how?"
"It's very simple, I can do it!"
Lu Feng handed him the ledger, put the money in his pocket, and said, "Let's go home and continue tomorrow!"
After closing the door, Lu Feng headed towards home.
When Zhou Hao arrived at the village, it was already past four in the afternoon. There were small groups of people sitting on the street enjoying the cool air. They looked over when they saw the carts selling things, but they didn't seem very interested, as most of them didn't have much money.
"Canned goods of all kinds! Grain is being traded for canned goods; we want all kinds of grain, even old grain!"
"Would you like grain that's been stored for more than three years?"
"Would you like five-year-old rice?"
"I want it! As long as it's not rotten!"
A dozen minutes later, the whole village was in an uproar. In those days, every household had a large granary, filled with stale grains that would turn to dust if left unattended.
Why not get some canned food for the kids to enjoy?
The car was surrounded by a huge crowd, and everyone was carrying half a sack of grain.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Hao was extremely excited. He had a feeling that he was about to become rich. He could make two cents off a can of food. He was really going to be rich!
"Line up, everyone, one at a time!"
...
The sky was still dark, and groups of children were playing. Children these days have no shortage of entertainment, and the sounds of their laughter rose and fell. Lu Feng stood there watching these children for a while.
"Isn't that Lu Feng? How did you resolve the matter of beating Li Dafang?" A man in his forties asked, sitting downstairs smoking a cigarette.
“Dad, you don’t know? It was quite a big event that day. Even Li Yi came. But for some reason, Li Yi didn’t do anything and just left,” said a young man who was about the same age as Lu Feng.
"Has this kid really made it big by dressing up like a proper gentleman lately?"
"He's a bastard!" the young man cursed, his face full of jealousy. He muttered, "Jiang Xiaoyan is blind to be with him."
Lu Feng watched for a while, then prepared to go upstairs. He saw the father and son squatting downstairs and didn't say anything. The older man was called Wu Renyi, and the son was called Wu Hongyu. Both of them had secure jobs at the steel factory and were both single.
Wu Renyi is a notorious scoundrel in this area. His son, Wu Hongyu, was sentenced to several years in prison for harassment. He also used to harass Jiang Xiaoyan, who hit him on the head with a brick. Recently, he has set his sights on He Yanli.
"Lu Feng, stand up for a moment, I need to talk to you." Wu Hongyu said as he stood up.
"What's up?" Lu Feng asked, looking at him.
“You have a family too, buddy. I don’t care what kind of gang you’re in, but stay away from He Yanli from now on, understand?” Wu Hongyu said with a stern face, pointing his finger at Lu Feng’s nose. “Don’t have any improper thoughts, or I’ll deal with you.”
Lu Feng laughed when he heard this and said, "There was nothing wrong to begin with, but coming from you, it sounds like there are so many unspeakable things going on. What did I do?"
"What were you doing in their house this morning? You didn't even close the door. Someone passing by saw you two rolling around on the bed," Wu Hongyu said through gritted teeth.
"I was fixing her water pipes, believe it or not." Lu Feng said and went upstairs, but he was wondering to himself. He knew the people in this building too well; even the smallest thing could be blown out of proportion.
When he got home, he first busied himself with cooking, thinking about how to explain things to Jiang Xiaoyan.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xiaoyan returned home looking unhappy. Duoduo excitedly rushed to bed and immediately took out her dolls to play with.
"Dinner's ready!" Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen and saw her expression. His heart skipped a beat. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start.
The family sat down to eat, but no one made a sound. Even the usually boisterous Duoduo was unusually quiet today, as if she had noticed the silence among the adults.
"This morning, He Yanli knocked on the door and said that a water pipe in her house had burst and asked me to come and take a look. The two of us..."
"I know, no need to say anything more!" Jiang Xiaoyan said expressionlessly, "Let's eat!"
"Don't listen to the nonsense outside, like we were hugging."
"So what if you two are hugging?" Jiang Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "How many times have you been caught whoring before? How many times have I caught you red-handed? I don't care, let's eat!"
If it were the old Lu Feng, Jiang Xiaoyan really wouldn't care; she wouldn't even care about her own life. But when she heard about it today, the wound in her heart that had just healed still oozed a little blood.
"It really was just a pipe repair. She seduced me? With such a beautiful wife like you at home, why would I even look at her?" Lu Feng felt like he was in a hopeless situation, so he took a deep breath and said, "Tonight, after Duoduo falls asleep, you check my ammunition depot!"
"Mom, what is an ammunition depot?" Duoduo asked curiously.
