The weather in early winter was not cold. Lu Dong and Li Wenyue walked into the village and climbed the river embankment from the big locust tree. Under the thick locust tree, the newly changed bluestone fence had the four big words "Zhenhe Ancient Locust Tree" written on it.

The fence was built by Uncle Qi and others, so there were snakes engraved on it, and monsters with human heads and snake bodies.

With Lu Dong's efforts, stories that have been circulated among the villagers in Lujia Village are entering reality through various means.

These include the fabricated by Uncle Qi.

On the back of "Zhenhe Ancient Locust", lines of small characters are carved, which is a story about the ancient locust river demon.

Walking to the north triangular dam, standing on the river bank above the ground, looking up, even in winter, Lujia Village is still busy.

In the food processing factory in the north, trucks delivering goods are constantly coming and going; on the construction site in the west, various large-scale construction machinery is roaring; in the river channel at your feet, the river water has long been dry, and the county's dredging team is working.

Li Wenyue looked into the river and said, "Our village changes so quickly."

Lu Dong said: "From the future to strive to reach a big step a year."

When Li Wenyue came to this place where no one was around, he obviously had something to say. The two grew up together as a child, and they were classmates from Yuhong class to the third year of high school. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are comparable to brothers.

"In the past, I could have a promising career by just knowing how to study good books and get into a good university." The academic master, like Li Wenyue, also had troubles: "I started to help the village in the summer of 1998, and later went to the factory to work. After getting in touch with more society, I realized that this was not the case."

Lu Dongying said: "A good university will have a high starting point."

Li Wenyue put down his glasses and said, "Social experience is also very important. Dongzi, if I want to say that my biggest gain in recent years is not how much knowledge I learned in textbooks, but how I initially realize what society looks like."

Lu Dong joked: "Wen Yue, you won half of your graduation than your classmates."

"More than half." Li Wenyue was not stupid at all. Whenever the school holidays were on, Lu Zhenlin would take him to the factory to help, and he was informed of all aspects. He also brought him with him for some key business activities. What was the purpose of?

Maybe I was a little confused at the beginning, but over the past two years, I could see clearly: "Dongzi, I can understand the matters in the village factory for so long, but I also figured out the general idea. If I graduate and go back to the village and enter the village factory, the starting point will be more than half higher than that of ordinary classmates."

The situation at the grassroots level is clear and it is also the key training target of Lu Zhenlin. After Li Wenyue graduated and entered the factory, he naturally did not have to start from the grassroots level and would definitely enter the management position directly.

Lu Dong understood what the kid wanted to get along with him.

Li Wenyue watched a motorized tricycle climbing the river bank and wait for the Tutu engine to make a smaller sound, and said, "I'm going to graduate in a year and a half. If I want to have an internship early, I will be able to get out of school in the second half of next year. It's time for me to make a choice."

He kept saying: "My father means to go to civil servant exams, go to public offices, and let me shine my family. I guess you have seen the meaning of people like Grandpa, and I want me to go to work in the factory..."

It can be heard that Li Wenyue is still hesitating.

Lu Dong said one of the keys, which Li Wenyue ignored or did not pay much attention to: "Wenyue, don't worry about others for now, put Uncle Shan and Grandpa aside for the time being. Think carefully, what do you... think about it?"

"Me?" Li Wenyue paused: "What do I think..."

Lu Dong didn't say anything, just waited aside.

Although he could see Li Wenyue's personal tendencies, Lu Dong didn't want to say directly that Li Wenyue had to make his own decisions about this kind of thing.

Li Wenyue simply squatted down and looked at the river quietly, without saying a word for the time being.

After a long time, Li Wenyue said, "Dongzi, it's not just me who thinks, but also Yuan Jing."

Lu Dong thought of Yuan Jing's family background and asked, "I heard that Yuan Jing's father is Deputy Minister Yuan of our county United Front Work Department?"

Because Li Wenyue often had to work part-time and help in the factory, he didn't have time to join the student union, but he also knew what position the deputy director of the United Front Work Department was, and said: "Yes! Yuan Jing had never said it carefully before, and I didn't think about it carefully..."

He scratched his head straight: "At first, I felt that love was a matter between two people. As I saw more, I found that this idea was unreliable."

Lu Dong smiled: "Maybe love is a matter for two people, but marriage is a matter for two families."

Li Wenyue smiled and said, "I only realized this when I saw you and Heidan, especially you and Heidan, treat each other's homes."

Even if he is a top student, Li Wenyue is ultimately a student who has no experience in this area: "I thought of it, but I can't give up."

Lu Dong patted him on the shoulder: "You, just be timid."

Li Wenyue said deliberately: "Isn't it your influence?"

The gap between the families on both sides is real and cannot be ignored. Lu Dong doesn’t understand what the situation in Yuan Jing’s family is. Li Wenyue asked Yuan Jing, and Yuan Jing was a little worried.

Lu Dong asked, "Yuan Jing graduated and entered a public unit?"

"Yes, her father has arranged everything." Li Wenyue said slowly: "Yuan Jing dares not disobey her father's intentions."

When Lu Dong heard this, he felt that this might be a little troublesome.

Li Wenyue suddenly asked: "Dongzi, what level does our Lujia Food Co., Ltd. belong to in Qingzhao County?"

Lu Dong smiled: "When you graduate, you are probably one of the largest private enterprises in the county, and this is not a big problem."

Compared with Lu's Catering Company, Lujia Food Co., Ltd. has received greater support and has developed faster. For example, bagged food and roasted goods, you don't have to open a store everywhere and take the dealer route. You have already walked out of Taidong through supermarkets and dealers and entered the markets in several surrounding provinces.

Currently, the resin factory in the North Chemical Industrial Park, the largest private company in Qingzhao, Lujia Food Company has policy support from a provincial capital city and is rushing forward.

Li Wenyue asked again: "If I go to a public office, should I start from the grassroots level?"

"Maybe the entry level is higher, and it is inevitable to start from the grassroots level." Lu Dong has dealt with the unit department more and also understands some situations: "We Qingzhao belong to Taidong, which is very traditional here. A very important point is to seniority ranking. Qualification is an important part of the rise."

Li Wenyue said: "I don't have background and experience, so it's probably not easy to rise."

Lu Dong didn't say much. If Li Wenyue wanted to take this path, he would be able to help some.

But public units have rules for public units, and some things are not that easy.

You can't do illegal things, that's a harm to Li Wenyue.

"I figured it out." Li Wenyue smiled, smiling brightly: "I'm back from graduation."

Lu Dong looked at Li Wenyue, and Li Wenyue said, "I have thought about entering the village company several times, but my family... I'm ready now, I've made up my mind."

When Lu Dong heard this, he was not surprised. Li Wenyue was not opposed to it, and even took the initiative to go to the village to help during the holidays. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that Li Wenyue tends to go back to the village company.

But Qingzhao's universal thinking of "no good is not well-organized" also had an impact on him.

Lu Dong said: "You are the top student in our village. Even if you come back, our village also needs new strength to join."

Li Wenyue said, "What I want to do is not good, you have to point it out for me in time. I have only theory but lack experience."

Lu Dong smiled: "Brothers, who will follow whom?"

"Yes." Li Wenyue didn't have to be polite to Lu Dong, and immediately gave a difficult question: "When I invite Yuan Jing's house to dinner after graduation, you have to help me be a guest."

Lu Dong responded: "No problem!"

The two of them talked for a while, and the sun was facing west. Just as they were about to go down, Lu Lanlan carried a small bucket, took a small shovel, and climbed up the river embankment from below.

"Brother Dong, Brother Wen Yue." Lu Lanlan greeted the two of them with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Li Wenyue is honest: "Tell me something to you, Brother Dong."

When Lu Dong saw the small bucket and shovel in Lu Lanlan's hand, he asked, "Lanlan, what are you planning to do?"

Lu Lanlan pointed to the river channel: "Go to dig loaches, dig them down, and all the loaches hidden in the mud and spent the winter were dug out."

When it comes to food, the little girl's eyes are shining.

Lu Dong glanced at the river channel and said, "Be careful."

"I followed the car far away, digging the places I had dug, and didn't get in front of me." Lu Lanlan said: "I originally agreed to dig them together with the nail. The new principal of the primary school will add one class to the fifth grade. It's late in the afternoon."

Li Wenyue said: "We should find a strict principal to take good care of these monkeys in our village, especially if we don't study hard, how can we get into high school in the future."

Lu Lanlan went to the steps: "I won't tell you anymore. Hurry up and dig some back. My mother went to buy tofu and was going to make the loach drilled tofu that Uncle Qi said."

Lu Dong waved his hand: "Go."

Before Lu Lanlan went down, she asked again: "Brother Dong, have you eaten it? Is it delicious?"

Lu Dong said: "It's delicious."

This was not invented by Uncle Qi, but a famous dish along the river. Loach is put in water and spit with sesame oil and paste, and cooked with tofu in the pot. The water is hot first and the tofu is still cool. The loach will fall into the tofu. After it is cooked, the loach will have its tail exposed outside the tofu, which tastes very good.

When he went back, Lu Dong talked to Li Wenyue again, asking Li Wenyue to come back and help check the information so that he could write an application. When he was having dinner with Du Xiaobing's father Du Dahai two days ago, Du Dahai talked about something and planned to join forces with some people to nominate Lu Dong to Quannan Certificate.

Strictly speaking, this matter is not difficult. Although Aunt Ma from Yu Zhanlong works in the Women's Federation, she also has the identity of a member of the certificate. Saying hello to both sides is very good.

The biggest obstacle is actually Lu Dong's age. It's only 21st after the Chinese New Year. In terms of public institutions with serious seniority, they are really younger.
