MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 487 scenery
Chapter 487
Just after the new year, after noon, it is the warmest time of the day in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month. In the Wenyuan Community of Xuefu, people who have eaten have come out to do activities. There is no wind today, and some people have moved Maza to sit in the sun. sun.
This is also the time of day when there are the most people outside the community.
Lao Song came out of the unit after lunch, stood on the sidewalk of the main road beside the building, and looked south frequently.
It is close to the north gate of the community and the only way to go to the farmers market. It can be called a lot of people coming and going. In addition, there will be a lot of people coming out for a walk in the nearby building and basking in the sun.
It has been almost two years since the Song family moved here. The old Song couple, regardless of what happened in the store, wandered around the neighborhood all day, and knew a lot of people.
An old man with a flower mirror who was watching people playing poker asked, "Brother Song, are you not going back to your hometown for the New Year this year?"
Lao Song took a few steps towards him and said, "I won't go back, the old man in the family has a cold leg. He went back to his hometown to stay for a night before he had a seizure. The girl took her to the hospital several times, and it finally got better. I was arguing about going back to my hometown for the New Year, and my daughter lost her temper, so she can stay here."
"Don't blame your daughter for losing her temper, the old cold legs can't stand the cold!" The old man Huajing said: "The mountains are already cold, and there is no central heating."
Lao Song sighed: "You said that this person is spoiled after staying in a better environment for a long time. I didn't feel like the winter in the mountains before, but when I went back last year, I was fine. I use central heating this winter, and the temperature is around 20 degrees every day. I live in the house, and when I go back here, I can't stand it any longer."
The old man Huajing echoed: "Who said no, I went back to my hometown this winter to live for a while, and it would take a week to get a dangling shot for a cold." When the person is good, some ideas naturally come out: "The children are busy with work, so I can save them troubles. Add less."
Lao Song agreed: "Yes, there are so many things for children, let's mess with this again, isn't it messy."
"Blessed is your brother." The old man Huajing said again: "My daughter is so capable, and there are only five stores opened in the university town! Two days ago, my daughter went on a business trip to Daocheng, and said that I saw your home, Song Nakai, in Daocheng. shop."
They are all from ordinary families, and when others praise their daughter, Lao Song's face is naturally bright: "She is busy, and at the end of this year, she has just passed two subjects, so the teacher will give her favors, or she will fail, this diploma. I don't know if I can get it."
An old lady came over and heard what Lao Song said, "As far as your Song Na's situation is concerned, whether she has a diploma or not, it's all the same."
The old man with a flower mirror pointed to the south: "It looks like your daughter-in-law's car."
A black Santana car came from the south along the main road of the community. It was a little closer. Lao Song could clearly see the license plate and it was indeed Lu Dong's car.
Lu Dong parked the car, got out of the car and said hello: "Uncle Song."
Seeing that the people around him were familiar with Lao Song, Lu Dong also called a few uncles or aunties.
Song Na hurriedly came over from the door of the unit and said, "Why are you here at this time?"
Lu Dong smiled at her, didn't say a word, opened the trunk, and went out to get the New Year's goods.
It is very important for the two to get along and have a good relationship with each other's families. Just like Song Na not only bought clothes for Hu Chunlan this year, but also bought a business bag for women, which cost thousands of dollars.
Once Lu Dong had no experience in this area, he might be a little bit conscious, but he was not stupid, he followed Song Na's example.
The New Year's goods that pulled fill a trunk.
Tobacco, wine, sugar and tea are a must. Boiled, snacks and roasted seeds and nuts are the specialties of the village. Other grains and oils are also readily available.
Lu Dong sometimes lives here. He is familiar with the situation of Wenyuan, an academy, and knows that it is warm after lunch. It is the time when old men and women come out to bask in the sun.
Sure enough, many people were staring at him.
Lu Dong and Song Na quarreled, and the old Song couple trained Song Na first and asked her to confess to Lu Dong, and Lu Dong, in turn, wanted to save face.
After talking with Song Na for a long time, Lu Dong also learned a lot from Song Na, and made progress in some aspects.
No matter how slow Lu Dong was, he gradually understood that the woman was not married far away, but in a situation like him and Song Na. Not only were they in the same county, but their homes were very close together. , as long as he stabs from time to time, he and Song Na must have a restless home.
Lao Song was looking at things here, and Lu Dong and Song Na each took some and moved them home.
"Oh, Lao Song, your future son-in-law has given you a lot of New Year gifts." The old lady couldn't help but look up: "King Qingzhao, we still have two cases of the most high-end wine in Qingzhao."
The old man in Huajing said: "Brother, you are such a blessing, we can't envy you, your daughter is powerful, and your daughter-in-law is also powerful."
One of the poker players came early, and said at this time: "It's really hard work. In the winter of 1998, I came to this night market to buy things several times. Lao Song's daughter and daughter-in-law were more than minus ten. Washing and wearing vegetables and setting up a street stall, the hands of the two of them are frozen like radishes, and they are full of holes."
Lao Song knew what his family used to be like and what Lu Dong's family used to be like, so he said, "It's not easy for these two children, and it's hard work."
After coming out of Lao Song's house, Lu Dong asked, "How is your mother's legs?"
Song Na said simply: "It's alright, I went to the hospital several times in a row, and the doctor specifically told me not to freeze again."
Lu Dong nodded: "In a university town, there is no good hospital."
"Yeah." Song Na felt deeply: "It's inconvenient to see a doctor or anything. The two hospitals in our county, not to mention medical skills, have a bad reputation."
Qingzhao County has two large hospitals.
Now there is no platform like social network, it is all formed by word of mouth of ordinary people.
Lu Dong said: "It is said that the management committee is planning to introduce a provincial hospital and establish the east branch of the provincial hospital here."
The two of them came to the front of the car, and the original discussion became quiet in an instant. They chatted and laughed freely with Lao Song, but when they saw the two famous people in the university town, they suddenly became a little nervous.
Lu Dong and Song Na took their things and walked away. Song Na saw a large group of people gathered around the car, and suddenly laughed and asked Lu Dong in a low voice, "You chose this time specifically? You have an idea."
Lu Dong smiled: "It's not that you have ideas, it's called high emotional intelligence."
Song Na praised when she should: "I have made progress."
After finished taking the things, Lao Song came back with him, Song Na made a cup of tea for Lu Dong, and Song Mama also came to accompany him to talk.
The old couple asked Lu Dong to stay for dinner, but Lu Dong declined: "We have to go to the passport later, there is a tea party."
Knowing that Lu Dong has a lot of things to do, the old couple did not insist.
Before leaving, Lao Song said to Lu Dong, "Our two families are going to leave. Just like last year, let Nizi go to your place on the second day of the first year. When you are free, come here for a meal."
Lu Dong replied: "Okay, uncle."
Song Ma brought out two more bags: "These are for your mother and your uncle's house. They are not good things. They are walnuts grown by themselves."
"Take it." Song Na raised it and went to send Lu Dong off.
Lu Dong didn't let Song's father and Song's mother send it, so he went out with Song Na, thinking of something: "Did you buy Duoduo New Year's clothes?"
"I bought it." Song Na said, "Don't worry, I was thinking about it."
Out of the unit door, Lu Dong said again: "This is a holiday everywhere, you remember to drive your car back to the community, don't let the property lock in the underground garage."
As the New Year is approaching, there are a lot of things: "By the way, go to sister-in-law's place in the evening and tell her that the New Year's gifts will be placed in the storage room of our small courtyard. When she and my brother go to Beihe, go directly to pull them. Just go."
"Okay, I remember." Song Na asked again, "Your second brother won't come back this year?"
Lu Dong said: "What mission Lu Xia has just been transferred to West Sichuan to perform. He can't say the specifics, and we can't ask. He won't be able to come back this year for Chinese New Year. Maybe he will come back next year."
Song Na nodded: "It's not easy being a soldier."
Lu Dong looked at the time: "I'll go first, call me if anything happens."
First, I went to the county seat to attend the tea party of the license holder, and in the evening, I went to the county government compound to hold the last meeting of the Cultural and Tourism Planning Committee of the past year.
The next day, Lu Dong entertained his father's old comrades in arms such as Uncle Yu, Uncle Ma and Uncle Wei who came here every year.
In the past few days, not only Lu Dong, but the entire Lujia Village was busy. The Chinese New Year was the peak season for food companies, but everyone who worked in food companies was extremely busy.
Li Wenyue, who was on vacation, and other university students, all asked Lv Zhenlin to recruit strong men, and gave them an important task, responsible for running outreach and purchasing New Year's goods for the village.
This is the last year that the villagers have lived in the old village of Lujia Village. According to the plan of the county and the village, all of Lujia Village will be relocated to the new village next year, and the old village will be renovated accordingly.
The old village will not disappear, but it is no longer a place to live. This feeling is completely different.
In addition to the smooth development of Lujia Village this year, it is natural for the village to decorate it during the Chinese New Year.
Lv Jianren went to the Linzi factory to pull a large carload of fireworks and came back. Li Wenyue brought people to buy a large number of lanterns, colorful lanterns, colorful flags, etc., and even found a movie theater in the town, and invited people at high prices from the first night of the first day of the new year to the seventh night, for seven consecutive days. Movies on the big old school playground.
In short, it is to decorate the lanterns and celebrate the Spring Festival.
While watching Li Wenyue's commander hang up the lantern, Lv Dong saw the two sisters Liu Linlin who came to buy something at the door of the butcher's shop in the village.
"When did you come back?" Lu Dong went over to greet him: "Why didn't you call?"
Liu Linlin's face has no acne, and her skin is much whiter than Song Na's. She smiled when she saw Lu Dong: "I originally planned to come back as soon as the holiday, but there was a temporary delay. I just arrived the day before yesterday, thinking of your age. I was busy, so I didn't call you."
Lu Dong nodded slightly and asked, "What do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you, and I can get the internal price of Lujia Village."
Liu called again and said, "Sister, it's just right, let my brother help you buy it at the internal price, and the money you save can buy something else."
Lu Dong brought the two of them into the store. It was almost New Year’s Eve, and there were so many people that they had to line up.
Liu Zaizhao asked: "Brother Dong, I heard that your village will start showing movies on the first day of the new year."
"Yes, Brother Wenyue contacted you." Lu Dong said casually, "You can come and watch the movie when you're fine."
