MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 10 Uncertain future

   Chapter 10 Uncertain Future

   At 5:30 in the morning, Lv Dong got up to pack his things, found a black artificial leather hand-packed white porcelain plate and a convenient bag from the main room, and planned to go to the Shunshan Cultural Market first and then the West Market.

   By the way, there is also a monkey, so I should ask about it.

   This thing was collected before.

   After a quick wash, he changed his clothes. The peasant family had what to wear, but what he was doing today was not suitable for wearing a school uniform. Lu Dong rummaged through the large cabinet. In addition to the school uniform, he only had two jerseys in his summer clothes.

  I had no choice but to choose the red football uniforms, which of course were pirated ones. I bought them for 20 yuan at the spring material exchange conference in the county this year.

   I found a new pair of 50% new black-bottomed double-star rubber-soled sneakers under the bed and put them on.

  According to the purchase price, Lu Dong's suit is 30 yuan.

  Handbag hooked up to the handlebars, rode on the 28th bar to go out, just turned to Jijie, Lv Dong saw Li Wenyue sitting on the stone in front of the door, his face was gloomy, as if the sky was falling.

  Lu Dong stopped the car, put his feet on the ground, and asked, "What's wrong?"

   Li Wen was so fascinated that he didn't hear it.

  Lv Dong glanced at Cheng Lifeng Meat Shop whose door was closed: "His family is making trouble for you?"

   The thin young man is full of sense of justice and dissatisfied with Cheng Lifeng, and Lu Dong is worried that Cheng Lifeng is looking for trouble.

   "No." Li Wenyue came back to his senses, glanced at Lu Dong's red jersey, and asked, "Didn't you see it?"

   Lu Dong was surprised: "What are you looking at?"

   Li Wenyue said: "Last night's World Cup final! You won't forget it, right?"

  Lu Dong thinks about the 13th today, as if the 98 World Cup final is in the early morning?

   Li Wenyue was full of grief: "Brazil lost! Lost! Ronaldo sleepwalked the whole game! The French bald is too insidious! He used to take corner kicks, but in the final he ran for points in the middle and scored two!"

   "Keep an eye on it." Lu Dong didn't care about this for a long time: "Winning and losing are common things."

   He waved his hand: "I'll go to the city and come back."

  The water on Ji Street has receded, and the hardened road is easy to ride. In Qingzhao County, the connection between villages is basically an asphalt road.

   There is a private minibus from the south entrance of Lujia Village to Quannan, but Lu Dong still chose to go to the county town by car.

   The county seat is to the south of Lujia Village, and Ningxiu Town is the seat of Qingzhao County.

   The CMB connecting to Quannan also goes to the county seat first, and then to Quannan.

   It may take more than half an hour for this five or six-mile road. CMB has to turn from village to village to pull people. If there are few people, they will wait for more than ten minutes at the big intersection.

   Even when there are too few people, the CMB will transfer the passengers to other cars and not run at all.

   Besides, Lu Dong also went to see the university town.

   Lu Dong came to the high-speed bridge hole, and the water in it was gone. Yang Liewen got angry that day, and the town mobilized a water pump to drain the water overnight.

   Looking at the bridge hole, Lu Dong didn't stop, and passed by on a bicycle.

   It’s useless to think about the past, look forward.

   After leaving the bridge hole, Lu Dong did not continue to the south, but turned to the west. This asphalt road leads to the university town in the southwest.

   Country roads haven't changed much.

  University Town is close to the east of Quannan, sandwiched between the west of Qingzhao County and Quannan City. The provincial city has a very clear plan for this.

  Quannan is surrounded by mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north. There are only two roads, eastward expansion and westward expansion.

   As long as the university town develops, it will connect Quannan City and Qingzhao County, and the city will expand eastward along with the trend, and at the same time create a high-tech industrial city.

   This is a key step in the development of Quannan.

   When he came to the university town, what Lu Dong saw was unfamiliar, completely different from the high-rise buildings, clusters of universities, and developed commerce in his memory.

Although the infrastructure is well done, the roads are wide and straight, the new street lights stand up, and the brand-new college buildings can be seen everywhere, but the roaring cars pulling building materials and workers wearing hard hats are more like a hot day. 's construction site.

  Wait until September when the university town will really come alive.

Following the unnamed University Town No. 1 Road, Lu Dong saw some of the most famous universities in Quannan City. They were not too far apart. They were located on both sides of the road. And the building group has been completed, just waiting for new students to enter.

   Lu Dong met a mobile vendor and bought biscuits for breakfast.

   There are very few things sold here. The sesame cake is as high as 50 cents a piece, and the rural area here is usually 1 yuan or three.

   Lu Dong also exchanged some 50 cents change, and took this opportunity to chat for a while to understand the situation.

   turned around again and kept the useful things in mind. There is no place to put bicycles in the university town.

   This is an era that needs to be cracked down!

   Lu Dong turned back and rushed to the county seat, and soon arrived at the station on the west side of the county seat.

The    county seat is a larger town, and serves as the residence of Ningxiu Town and Qingzhao County.

   In this era, the tallest building was only seven stories tall.

   Lu Dong kept his bicycle and carried a black convenience bag. He did not enter the station, but waited on the side of the road on the west side. There was a bulletin board with an old and discolored reward notice on it.

  The avatar on the wanted notice is a bit blurry. The name of the person below is Qiao Keli, who has entered the house and blocked the road to rob and kill. After absconding, he committed crimes in other places. The most wanted reward is 5,000.

  The numbers are enough to show that this person is extremely sinful.

   Lu Dong once met Qiao Keli himself. He had just entered Ningxiu Middle School in the first year of junior high school. When he was in the third year of junior high school, Qiao Keli stabbed his classmates. Although he lost money, Qiao Keli was expelled from the school.

This person left countless notorieties when he was in school. He was daring and cruel. It is said that he ran away from home when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Broke the boss's head.

  Ning Xiuzhen still has the legend of Chokeli.

   After waiting for a few minutes, an old minibus came over, Lu Dong asked, and then got on the bus.

   Don’t look at the distance from the station only tens of meters, buy a ticket at the station for 3 yuan, and get on the train here for only 2 yuan and 5 yuan.

   Lu Dong's personal assets fell below ten yuan, and his income is uncertain, so he should cherish every cent.

  Sit down in an vacant double seat, the CMB swayed forward, the windows of the car swayed loudly, and the wind blowing in could not resist the sultry heat in the car.

   Air conditioning is impossible, Lu Dong tried to get as close to the window as possible to blow more wind.

   It is not far from the county seat to the urban area, passing through the university town, and the eastern suburbs station of the urban area is the terminal.

   The road that CMB took from the University Town to the East Outer Ring of Quannan disappeared and became a residential area.

   Lu Dong is fortunate not to ride a bicycle, otherwise it would be troublesome to recognize the road.

   Getting off the bus outside the station, Lu Dong changed to an unmanned bus, and he changed 50 cents in advance.

   We changed trains in the middle, and it took more than half an hour before Lv Dong arrived at Shunshan Cultural Market.

  The market is on the edge of the square at the foot of the mountain and is divided into several areas. The outermost is the old book and flower and bird market. Further inside, there is a stone road backing the mountain in the south. There are some antique shops on the north side of the road, and there are all training stalls under the mud wall on the south side.

  In the middle of the old book market and the stone road, there are antique buildings, most of which are two-story buildings, and some small buildings have nameplates such as certain handicraft companies hanging at the entrance.

   One of the buildings with a larger area may be engaged in activities, with various people coming in and out, mostly holding cardboard boxes and packages in their hands.

   Most of these people are dressed in ordinary clothes, even shabby, and their family conditions should not be very good.

   Looking at it through Lu Dong's eyes, many of them were from the countryside. Occasionally, there were voices coming over, and there were accents all over the place.

   Some well-dressed young people greeted them with great enthusiasm.

   Lu Dong passed by the door and saw that a banner had fallen off, one of which fell to the ground, and the two young people were about to hang it back.

   He kept walking and walked towards the stone road.

  This is the morning market, the sun has risen high, and there are not many people.

   Lu Dong did not rush in, and stood outside to observe for a while.

  The booth is full of Linluo, old scales, old horses, red badges, Yuan Datou, and even coins and burning paper.

   Lu Dong's expectations have dropped a lot, but when he gets here, he always has to go in and take a look.

   After all, it's all here, and it's good to sell it for 50.

   Walking on the stone road, Lu Dong suddenly realized that he was very eye-catching.

   Eighteen years ago, he was born in the countryside, grew up in the countryside, a kind of temperament belonging to a peasant family is engraved in his bones.

   However, Lu Dong has never been thin-skinned, and thin-skinned people can't do so much shit. He deliberately found an old man's booth, and there happened to be no one there.

   When he came to the booth, his face showed honesty and honesty. Lu Dong looked at the porcelain and bronze wares on it. It was true, the old man had enough money to buy peanuts.

   The old man shook his folding fan: "Young man, what do you want?"

   Lu Dong squatted down and glanced around. It seemed that two people in white shirts were paying attention to this side. He smiled and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you accept anything?"

  The old man closed the folding fan and looked at Lu Dong carefully. He was no more than twenty years old, his face was swarthy, there were calluses and wounds on his hands, and he looked stupid.

   Countryside!

   "Bring it?" The old man knew that there are many old things in the countryside, and even if they are not valuable, he can fool others: "Bring it and see."

  Lu Dong took out the white porcelain plate and handed it over. The old man gave him a look and didn't answer: "Put it down."

   After Lu Dong put it on the booth, the old man took out his reading glasses and carefully examined them before picking them up.

   Although Lu Dong did not hold out hope, he still had some expectations.

   He needs money too much, he needs start-up capital to get rich! And he was poor clanking.

  The old man looked at it from the front and back, and put it back in front of Lu Dong. He probably had enough experience in life and was quite cautious from beginning to end.

   "Accept it?" Lu Dong was very succinct.

The old man stretched out two fingers, and Lu Dong's eyes lit up: "Two hundred?"

   "Tsk..." The old man shook his head: "Twenty! If you want to sell, I'll stay."

   Lu Dong's anticipation disappeared instantly: "Too little! Uncle, this is my ancestral inheritance!"

  The old man couldn't help laughing, waved at Lu Dong, opened the folding fan and stopped talking.

  Although it is worth several big catfish dollars, there are many stalls and shops here, and Lu Dong always wants to take a look.

   Patience Lu Dong is not lacking.

   From the beginning to the end, I asked seven or eight stalls. I even went to four shops. The highest bid was twenty-five, and one only gave five yuan.

   is even more stingy than going to the countryside to collect antiques!

   Outside the stone road, the banner of the two-story antique building with a large area was re-hanged.

   "Experts from the Royal Museum are here to appraise antique calligraphy and paintings for free, and identify family heirlooms for you!"

   On the stone road, Lu Dong left a stall in disappointment and walked into the opposite shop.

   Dear readers, please support!
