The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 98 Going South (For Subscription)

   On weekends, the north wind blew all night, and it rained again at 3:00 in the morning. The temperature in Qingzhao plummeted. People not only put on long-sleeved jackets, but even long-sleeved pants for those who were afraid of the cold.

   On the south side of the county seat, Cheng Tao walked out of the detention center wearing half sleeves and couldn't help shivering.

   Looking back, the big iron gate was tightly closed.

   These days, it's been a nightmare.

  Cheng Tao just wanted to get out of here and run away.

   In the cold wind, he walked towards the county town alone, with no money on his body, so he could only walk.

  Thinking of the recent encounter, tears flashed in his eyes, but his parents didn't let him out. He didn't know what would happen in the end.

   Entered the county seat, passed the train station, came to Zhanqian Street, and walked north along the road. Cheng Tao saw his storefront, the sign of Cheng Lifeng Meat Shop, hanging high above the door curtain.

  The banner of the opening ceremony was blown down by the wind, and it was drooping on the ground, and it was unbelievably dirty.

  Cheng Tao wiped the tears from his eyes, went home first, and then thought of a way.

  When he walked into the store, he found that there was a seal on it, and the bright red seal was particularly eye-catching.

   Having just received education, Cheng Tao didn't dare to break the seal, let alone enter the door, for fear of being arrested again, not to mention other people who lived in the same room, made him shudder.

   He had no money and his house was sealed off. Cheng Tao went to the store next door to the north: "Uncle Jiang..."

   Before he finished speaking, the old Jiang, who used to be long and short, said, "I'm busy, don't bother me if I have nothing to do, hurry up and leave."

  Cheng Tao was stunned for a moment, then turned and left.

   Lao Jiang spit on the ground: "It's a thunderous thing! Fortunately, I haven't bought it a few times!"

  Cheng Tao went to the south next door again, and the treatment was similar.

  Standing on the side of the road, the north wind is blowing, shivering with cold, without a penny, and the stomach is already growling with hunger.

  Look up, the weather is hazy, and the rain can fall at any time.

   Cheng Tao, who is in his twenties, is confused and confused. Why is he like this? Is this to ruin your own family?

  Cheng Tao stood for a while, thinking of a place to go, he continued to go north, east from the intersection of the supply and marketing building, there were relatives in the city.

  Despite the street cars coming and going in front of the station, Cheng Tao felt lonely, helpless, lonely and desolate...

   As if the entire county had abandoned him.

  Cheng Tao entered the dormitory of the Health Bureau, went up to the third floor and knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open the door.

   "Aunt..." Cheng Tao's tears rolled in the frame.

   The middle-aged woman glanced at him and sighed softly: "Come in."

   Cheng Tao saw Cheng Ligang, tears could not help rolling down: "Uncle!"

   There are not many people in the old Cheng family. Cheng Ligang was angry and hated. After seeing his nephew who had grown up with him, he couldn't bear it any longer: "Come and sit down and talk."

   Brother is a huge pit, but nephew has always been good.

   He said to his daughter who was sitting and watching TV: "Lili, go and pour water for your brother."

  Cheng Tao wiped his tears and said, "Uncle, what should I do?"

  Cheng Ligang didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why don't you call me? I can pick you up too."

   "I forgot when I came out." Cheng Tao held back tears: "I have no money after I come out."

  Cheng Ligang sighed: "Hey..."

   His daughter-in-law found clothes, handed them to Cheng Tao, and said, "Didn't eat? I'll go get you a bowl of noodles."

  Cheng Tao put on a long-sleeved jacket first, and said, "My parents are still inside, and the store is closed. Uncle, what should I do? If we don't spend money to trust someone, I still have money in the bank."

Cheng Ligang thought about it and decided to tell the truth. After all, a guy in his twenties said, "Not only that, all your property will be frozen, and it will be confiscated if there is no accident. Uncle has nothing to do with it, so I will be transferred to the archives. When the deputy chief staff member, I can't speak."

  Cheng Tao understood what this meant and looked surprised.

   When I first came, I still had some hope, but now I feel that the sky of the Cheng family has really collapsed.

There is no trivial matter involved in drugs. Cheng Ligang can keep his current position, which is not easy. He dare not toss and say: "Taozi, this can only be done like this. How many people have eaten your house stew, how many people hate your father you. Mom, and me. I can't leave, and I won't be able to turn around in my life, don't stay in Qingzhao..."

   He was worried that some people were not careful in their work, those in the public sector were fine, and those in society who caught Cheng Tao would inevitably beat him up.

   "What should I do?" Cheng Tao held hands helplessly.

Cheng Ligang thought about it for a long time, went to the house to find 500 yuan, and tore up the paper and wrote down the company name and phone number, and handed it to Cheng Tao together: "In Qingzhao, you can't get ahead, and you can't save your parents. I will also take myself in. Taozi, go to the south, your cousin has called me and your dad many times, he has developed well there, and he has always wanted me and your dad to go there. "

  Cheng Tao asked: "Uncle, my parents..."

Cheng Ligang shook his head slowly and firmly: "This case is not only in the county, the city bureau is also involved, and it was published in the evening newspaper yesterday." Being able to be published in the media means that the tone has been set: "Your parents are in prison for this disaster. , can't escape."

   He didn't want to care about those two pit bulls anymore, and he helped them wholeheartedly, but in the end he became a big brother digging a pit and letting his little brother jump into it.

   For the sake of money, even brothers are pitted!

  Cheng Ligang's wife brought noodles, and when Cheng Tao finished eating, Cheng Ligang said, "Come on, I'll take you to the station, you go to Quannan, don't stay in Qingzhao."

  Cheng Tao collected the money and phone number, followed Cheng Ligang out, and asked as he walked, "Uncle, my family's business is doing well, why was it checked?"

  Cheng Ligang sighed and said, "Maybe someone should report it."

  Cheng Tao stopped and looked to the northwest. The building blocked his view. He slowly asked, "Is he from Lujia Village?"

  Cheng Ligang went to push the motorcycle: "It's possible."

  Cheng Tao looked at the northwest: Lujia Village, those surnamed Lu and Li, those gangsters!

   Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, one day he will come back.

  Cheng Tao looked down at the note and saw six words - National Sunshine Project!

  …………

  Although the north wind is blowing, there are many people in the market on weekends, and people from Lu Dong’s side are coming one after another.

   There are many students coming out on weekends, and the business is good. Just after noon, more than 400 were sold.

   A group of people wearing big-brimmed hats came over, led by the two businessmen, and the dynasty followed behind with his three men.

  The two industrial and commercial personnel Lu Dong knew each other and came here the day they moved into the temporary market.

   They handed out notices to each booth, and Lu Dong also received one.

   "Brother Wang." Lu Dong greeted the dynasty, took out the cigarettes and scattered them as usual, and stuffed the rest to the dynasty.

   "Follow Old Wei to the front, and don't get into trouble." The dynasty instructed Zhang Longsan, "I'll have a chat with Dongzi."

  The three people followed the two businessmen and continued to go north. Lu Dong quickly browsed the notice, and the contents on it were as expected.

It’s not too expensive. The fee is charged according to the area of ​​the booth. It is 8 cents per square meter per month. Adding up various miscellaneous expenses such as sanitation and management fees, Lu Dong’s two booths cost nearly 50 cents more per month. .

   However, the Industrial and Commercial Office has also set aside a buffer time, and the collection will start tomorrow. At the latest, you can pay all the fees for November before November.

   If you don't pay, you will definitely be chased away.

   This was within Lu Dong’s expectations. At the beginning, they didn’t charge money. When there were more stalls and the market opened up, how could they not charge money?

   Not to mention anything else, there are many stalls, and not everyone who came after is conscious of it, and some of them left a lot of garbage after the stalls were withdrawn.

  In the morning of a large gathering in the countryside, the fee for a booth is 5 yuan.

   Dynasty was not polite to Lu Dong, and said directly: "You can't bear the charges, and you're not making less money, so you can take the lead."

  Lu Dong is sensible, but the fool confronted him and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, you don't know who I am? I won't cause trouble."

  Dynasty laughed: "You make a lot of money in this business."

   Lu Dong waved his hand: "It's just to earn hard money, it's not safe, it's not as good as drought and flood."

  Dynasty flicked off the soot and said, "It's just a drought and flood." He changed the subject: "I heard that your brother is dating a female reporter?"

   Lu Dong wondered: "How fast did it spread?"

  Dynasty said with a smile: "Our group of people who have transferred jobs often exchange news, and what Team Zhang of the Criminal Police Department revealed can't be faked."

  Lu Dong thought of Zhang Dui, who has a strong back and a strong waist, or is he a gossip?

   It’s true that people can’t look at appearances.

   Having said that, Lv Chun and Fang Yan went to the Criminal Police Force together.

   These old detectives have sharp eyes and noses, and it is not unusual to see some clues.

   This is the news, and it spreads so fast.

   "I don't know much about this." Lu Dong said vaguely.

Wang Chao lit a cigarette again: "You can do it! Your eyes are better than eagles, can't you tell? I heard about them. It was because of you that they met." He deliberately winked his eyes: "Right, strange worm boy!"

   Lu Dong is helpless, why can't he be confused with the bug? He said, "Brother Wang, don't make fun of me."

  Wang Dynasty laughed: "Xiao Bei from the police station, he also called you the leader of the Five Poison Sect, is there a story I don't know about?"

   Lu Dong's face collapsed, this Bei Xiangrong! The net makes people mess with nicknames!

   The leader of the Five Poison Sect, listen, a proper villain!

   Will accompany Qiao Weiguo to Shaolin Temple in the future?

   A good man like him, how can he be called such a name, he must be the leader of the Five Immortals Sect.

   Thinking about it, it seems like the same thing?

   "If your brother brings someone here again, remember to call me." Chao Dynasty is obviously not joking: "Your sister-in-law has introduced him several times, but it didn't work. I've been looking forward to it."

   Lu Dong didn't want to get involved: "You just call my brother directly."

   After chatting for a while, the others came back from the north, and Dynasty led the team to leave.

   Zhao Juanjuan took two steps towards the front of the car in Jialing, and asked, "Should we pay this money?"

   Lao Liu, Jiao Shougui, and Jiao Sanhei all looked towards Lu Dong, apparently taking him as the leader.

   Lu Dong said: "If you don't make friends, you will drive people away."

   Zhao Juanjuan propped up on the front of Jialing's car: "Yes, earn 20 less a month."

   Jiao Shougui said: "I have a stall with Sanhei, and the two of them don't share much of the money."

  Don't worry about Qiao Weiguo, there will be no customers, I am watching this book "Four Famous Catchers".

   Lu Dong didn't say more, no one in the market could stop him.

Just after 5:00 pm, there was a long queue in front of Lu Dong's booth, and by the time it was close to 6:00 pm, there were more than 30 people in the queue. Under the effect of queuing for several consecutive days, the market went from the south to the north, and the business was absolutely booming. one serving.

  Two sixteen-seven boys came over on bicycles and parked on the side of the road.

"Dagang, do you see it?" The shorter one said, "His business is so good, Zhuang Xiaoshan helped him line up last month, and he estimates that he can earn hundreds of dollars a day, so he did it. In more than a month, how much do you think you can earn?"

  Tall worries: "Rourou, this is Lu Dong!"

   Rou Rou hit him right at the head: "You're such a waste! Why did I find you as a partner? Let's not go out and grab it!"

   "Why don't you go while he's not there during the day?" The tall man was afraid.

Rou Rou looked at the queue after another, and said, "In that broken street, a bunch of old immortals play poker all day long! Do you think you can't be caught? You haven't watched these two days, Lu Dong always wears a black handbag, which is full of money."

   In his eyes, there was only money left: "Get it this time, enough for us to have a good time in the game room for the rest of the year!"

  The two graduated from junior high school this summer. They have nothing to do after school. They play games in the game room all day long.

  Da Gang looked at the construction site in front of him: "Why don't we go to the construction site and try again?"

"What are you going to do? Apart from selling junk, what did you get?" Rou Rou said, "I didn't learn enough last time? We finally got into the big office and took a bag back, but it turned out that most of it was waste paper, and it was not thrown at home. There are very few valuable items for sale, but how many have more cash on the construction site? This time, let’s look for the ones with cash!”
