The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 30 The Bear

   "You're not white either." The female classmate pointed at Lu Dong's face.

   Lu Dong touched his face and said, "I work in the sun." He asked, "What's the matter, it's not as dark as you came out of the coal mine."

The female classmate raised her arm and compared it with Lu Dong, and found that it was indeed darker than Lu Dong, and said, "I also sunbathe, I work in the open air, there is no whiteness. The weather is not good this year. The sun came out for a while, and just after it was soaked, the sun came out again, and it was not white at first, and it became like this."

  She is from the southern mountainous area of ​​Qingzhao, and her name is Song Na. She is a sports student specially recruited by Qingzhao No. 1 Middle School. She specializes in high jump training. She has been black since she was a child.

   "Being able to be dark enough to shine is also a skill." Lu Dong is very familiar with sports students of the same level. He is in good physical condition and has practiced sports for a while, but then he gave up on his own initiative because he was required to practice weightlifting.

   Lv Chun told him that the sport seriously damages the body.

  Song Na shrugged: "It's just technical work, looking at the crusher in the stone field, pushing stones, but not completely black, thanks to the dust, no thick dust falls on the body, really become African."

  Lu Dong's eyes fell on Song Na's hand, obviously with torn blood blisters and calluses: "You girl, do this work?"

Song Na generously turned her palms over, revealing the calluses on her hands: "It's not more tired than usual training, how can I earn money in the mountains? Except for the rocks, I have to earn the tuition fees. I just saw Liu Zhaodi, and I didn't live well. It's easy, it's all sunburned."

  Life is not easy, and it is even more difficult in the mountains. Song Na asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

   Lu Dong did not evade: "As usual, how about you?"

  Song Na said: "More than you, I have more than 500 in the test."

   Lu Dong was helpless: "You are a sports student, you have passed the test in your major, and you have more than 500 in the cultural class exam!"

Song Na put away her smile and said a little heavy: "You don't need to ask for help when you go to the Sports Academy. It's not like you don't know about the bad things in the sports group. After the exam, you don't need to worry about them. The Sports Academy is in the university town, close to home. It's convenient for anything."

   She is also worried: "The tuition fee is not easy to collect, and when I go back, I have to powder stones and push stones. This summer vacation is in the mountains."

   Lu Dong admired: "Self-improvement and self-reliance."

  Song Na told the truth: "What should I do if I don't improve myself, my parents just farmed the land. Fortunately, I was the only one in the family. Back then, I was not considered high jumping by No. 1 middle school, so I was exempted from tuition fees. I couldn't study in high school."

  Lu Dong nodded and reminded her: "Wear a mask and do some protection. If you absorb too much dust, your body will have problems."

  Although some universities still have subsidies and the like, but now, it is not easy for families with ordinary family backgrounds to provide a college student.

   The southern mountains of Qingzhao are more difficult.

  Speaking of which, Song Na is even worse off than his family.

   "I know." Song Na asked caringly, "What about you, what are your plans after school?"

   Lu Dong said simply: "Do some small business first, then I will also go to the university town."

  Song Na smiled: "The university town is good, you can still see it often."

  A ten-year-old child came over from the right. He glanced at Song Na first, then at Lu Dong. He clearly knew Lu Dong and stopped in the distance.

  Song Na sounded the alarm: "Guo Ying's son is here."

  This kid has a big name in Yizhong.

   Before Lu Dong could speak, the child shouted at him, "You make a pen!"

After   , the child slid into the teaching building, for fear that Lu Dong would catch up.

   seems to be a very fun game.

   "Little dead child!" Song Na couldn't help it.

   The bear boy stopped at the back door, and scolded Song Na again, "You are a jerk!"

   turned around and ran to the teaching building.

Song Na resisted the urge to hit people, she also knew that it was impossible to treat this little brat: "Guo Ying, this poor child, relies on his father to scold whomever he sees, and every time he comes to school with his father, he scolds a bunch of people. , I really want to beat him."

   Lu Dong told the truth: "If you really hit him, it will be troublesome."

   While talking, I saw the little kid running out of the back door of the teaching building again.

   Then, two young teachers went out the back door, one of them was very angry: "Dead child!"

   Another said: "Children, don't have common sense."

   These two teachers are also victims.

  Song Na couldn't help but said, "I want to fuck, not slap to death!"

   "You brew ratio!"

   There was a faint swearing voice coming.

  Lu Dong pretended not to hear it. After more than ten years of Internet development, there were too many bear children to see.

   The bears get up, don't need reasons, and don't look at the occasion.

  People came out of the teaching building one after another, carrying stools to the playground to gather for a meeting. This should be the last meeting of everyone in their high school career.

  Li Wenyue brought a stool over by himself and greeted Lu Dong: "Don't go?"

   Lu Dong took the stool and placed it under the shade of the tree: "Wen Yue, Heidan, sit down. Calm down, are you going to sunbathe?"

   On a hot day, there is no cover on the playground. Going early is pure suffering.

  Song Na was in no hurry and sat on the left of Lu Dong. Li Wenyue glanced at the bright sun on the playground, and thought of her thin physique, so she simply sat down.

   As a result, some people who were familiar with Lu Dong and Song Na gathered around here to chat.

  Tian Chuanjie, several sports students, more and more people gathered, and soon there were more than a dozen.

   Talking about the college entrance examination, talking about the World Cup, talking about the future, talking about the interesting stories of classmates...

   Those who are admitted to university will have a bright future.

   Those who fail the list also have infinite possibilities in the future.

  The college entrance examination, for ordinary people, has done its best to be fair and just.

   This is also the best chance for ordinary people to change their destiny.

   Of course, not the only chance.

   Everyone chatted happily, because they were relatively young, and they were from a county, so they didn’t have much sorrow for parting.

  A group of people around the age of 18, they did not respect each other, nor did they agree to have a dinner together, some just talked and laughed.

   seems to be far away from society.

   But even in high school, this might be the last time some people meet.

  The number of students coming out of the teaching building decreased, and some teachers also started to go to the playground.

  Tian Dabang advertised for his cousin's sister: "Someone who wants to go to work in the south told me that my sister will lead the way and make a lot of money, and those who want to go come to Diaojiazhuang to find me..."

  Tajia was in Diaojiazhuang near the university town, a village where Lu Dongyu was harvested.

  Most people didn't respond. They worked part-time and didn't think about it for the time being.

   Seven or eight people came out from the back door of the teaching building, Liu Zhaodi in the center, and Guo Ying next to him.

A man in his fifties wearing thick glasses said to Liu Zhaodi as he walked: "Zhaodi, if you have any difficulties, just say, don't worry about your family, the education committee and the county have already done your father's work, he is the leader of Liu Wan, Obey organizational discipline!"

   Guo Ying answered, "In the afternoon, I'll go to the house of classmate Zhao Di again."

  Thick Lenses knew that he was the head teacher of Liu Zhaodi, and emphatically urged: "Keep up with the work and dispel the emotions of parents. Classmate Zhaodi is the glory of Qingzhao County."

   He also had a headache when he thought of the parent whose preference for sons was written in his bones and expressed on his face.

   Whoever chose Liu Wan to be the leader is simply playing the piano!

   Seeing a group of students and leaders coming from the teaching building, the people gathered by Lu Dong were ready to disperse.

   Amidst the clattering footsteps, the bear child ran over and was about to speak when Song Na had an idea, suddenly widened her eyes, and got up to chase after him.

  The bear child was timid, rushed to his father, glanced at the thick lenses, and asked casually: "Your child?"

   "Yes." Like most parents, Guo Ying pulled the child to meet the leader: "Call it grandpa."

  Why is the bear child a bear child? Because it doesn't matter where the bear gets up, let alone a bear child who wants to scold everyone when he sees him.

   There were seven or eight people around, and a dozen or so people were watching. The bear boy opened his mouth and shouted what he had called many times today: "You brewer!"

  In an instant, in a radius of tens of meters, all sounds disappeared, and there was silence.

  Song Na covered her mouth and held back her smile. Because of her hard work, her dark face was squeezed into a dahlia.

   The thick lens glasses are very large, and he said warmly: "It's okay, Tong Yan has no scruples."

  The people around laughed and walked towards the podium of the playground together, with Guo Ying at the back.

   Guo Ying glared angrily: "Bear stuff! Watch me go back and clean you up."

   The bear child started to cry, and scolded Guo Ying, "You are making a comparison!"

   Before the leaders came, Lu Dong glanced at Song Na and greeted everyone, "Go to the playground, hurry up."

  No one is an idiot. They scattered in a swarm and headed to the playground for their class.

   Lu Dong and Li Wenyue sat on a stool and fell at the back of the class. Song Na was from the next class and didn't bring a stool, so they continued to sit with them.

   "How's it going?" Song Na winked at Lu Dong: "Excuse me?"

   "Thank you." Lu Dong noticed that Song Na's eyelids were even black and shiny.

   The leading principal was giving a big speech above, while Lu Dong, Song Na and Li Wenyue were muttering below.

   The two class teachers saw it, but they didn't care.

   At this time, as long as there is no trouble, the teacher opens his eyes and closes his eyes.

  Song Na asked Li Wenyue: "I just heard that you are working, what are you doing?"

   Li Wenyue said in a low voice, "Write and do calculations for the brigade, volunteer work."

  Song Na said: "I'm still thinking, if you can do it with a small body, I can do it too. Let you take me with you to earn money."

   Hearing this, Lu Dong thought of one thing and asked, "Heidan, is there a mountain buffalo in your house?"

   Brother Niu from Shilibao asked him last time, but there are basically no mountains and wastelands in Ningxiu Town, and the number of mountain buffaloes is negligible.

  Song Na just calculated that the bear boy was also helping him.

   "Yes! After the rain, in the woods, on the hillside, go out." Song Na was curious: "Do you want to eat? I'll grab some for you later."

   Lu Dong explained in a low voice: "There are people in Shilibao Market who collect mountain buffaloes."

  Song Na is not stupid, the children of the poor are in charge early: "How much money do you charge?"

   Lu Dong recalled Brother Niu's words: "I didn't ask carefully, it's probably around 20."

   At that time, Brother Niu said that because it is rare, it is more expensive than knowing monkeys.

   "Twenty!" Song Na was a little surprised: "I've heard people say that you can get paid, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive! It's much more than I earn by pushing pebbles a day."

   But the mountain buffalo doesn't seem to know, it only rains a lot. Song Na calculated in her heart and whispered: "Continue to work on the powder stone, catch the mountain buffalo in the rain at night, as a sideline..."

   Lu Dong reminded: "Sell in time, you have to live."

   Li Wenyue looked at Lu Dong and Song Na again, he couldn't get into the conversation between them, like an outsider.

  Song Na said to Lu Dong again, "Shilibao Market? I'll take a look at it when I have time."

   Lu Dong briefly said about Brother Niu's shop: "Go ask, the owner of this shop is not bad."

   After the conference, Lu Dong didn't know exactly what it was talking about. He went back to the classroom to get his high school diploma, and prepared to go back with Li Wenyue.

   There is still one afternoon to continue catching things to earn money.

   After leaving the school gate, someone was squatting on the curb beside the bicycle, and when they saw Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, they immediately ran over.

   "Brother Dong, Qiao Siliang is going to take someone to block you!" But it was Li Lin, the nephew of Lu Dong's aunt.

   (I was a scumbag at thirteen, and I didn’t invite teachers to see me since I was a child. Just look at these things. In individual cases, don’t take it too seriously.)

   Ask for support! Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for collection!
