Before entering the village, Liu Xiangdong saw his mother Tang Yuhua waiting under the big tree at the entrance of the village, it seemed that she should have been waiting like this for the past few days. Today, she finally waited for her son's return.

After Tang Yuhua saw Liu Xiangdong, he hurriedly came up and snatched the things that Liu Xiangdong was carrying.

Liu Xiangdong looked at his mother, who was much younger than he remembered, his nose was a little sour, and he said softly: "Mom, I'm back." ”

"That Rong Liang from the neighboring village came back yesterday, so I know you will definitely go back today or tomorrow. Tang Yuhua said.

The mother and son talked and arrived home.

Liu Xiangdong's home was still the kind of adobe wall, covered with tiles, and it was not until 2O1O years, six years after Liu Xiangdong graduated from university, that the family saved enough money to build a red-brick flat-roofed house. In the second OOO year, there were not many red brick flat-roofed houses built in the village, and there were only two families who got rich first, including Liu Xiangdong's third uncle's family. Liu Xiangdong remembered that in his previous life, he borrowed 2,000 yuan from his third uncle's family in the first year of college. After the expansion of the university's enrollment, the tuition fee has risen, at least more than 5,000.

The door of the house is mostly open, even if there is no one at home, there is no need to lock the door, the countryside is mostly like this, there is nothing worth stealing, the big money is stored in the bank, who can steal it.

"Click, click, click. ”

Liu Xiangdong could hear the sound of planers and planks outside the door, and his father Liu Qiyuan must be at home.

His father, Liu Qiyuan, was a well-known carpenter in the surrounding four villages, and it was his craft that allowed Liu Xiangdong to finish high school and then continue to finish college.

Entering the courtyard, Liu Xiangdong saw Liu Qiyuan bending over to plank the wooden plank, he had just entered his forties, but his hair was already half white. By the time he reached fifty, his hair was all white, but he was in good health. Liu Xiangdong graduated and went to work in City B, and later bought a house, wanting the second elder to go to City B to live with him, but Liu Qiyuan only lived for three days and then returned to his hometown, he felt that the house in the city was too small, and he didn't do his carpentry work for three days, he felt that life was wrong. Later, after Liu Xiangdong won the more than 10 billion jackpot, he bought a big villa, the house is very big, and there is a big garden, but Liu Qiyuan is still uncomfortable, because he thinks that the money for this house is not earned by his son's hard work, and he is not practical.

In his previous life, Liu Xiangdong jumped off Mount Hua, and he knew how much impact it would have on the living second elder. In this life, let me accompany you to old age in peace.

Liu Qiyuan raised his head when he heard the voice and saw his son.

"Dad, I'm back. ”

"Well, it's okay to pass the test. ”

"It's okay, it will take twenty days to know the score. I applied to Donghua University of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering. ”

"I don't know what university to apply for, you just have to make your own ideas, it's good to learn mechanics, and it's the most practical to eat technical food." ”

The mother brought the things Liu Xiangdong brought back into the room, and Liu Xiangdong and his father were talking in the courtyard.

At night, Tang Yuhua killed a free-range chicken of his own family to reward his son who worked hard in the college entrance examination.

After eating, Liu Xiangdong watched TV with his mother at home, and Liu Qiyuan turned on the electric light and continued to work as a carpenter. During this time, he received several orders to earn his son's college fees. Later, he didn't expect that the cost of college had risen so much that he had to borrow money from his third brother.

Basically every house in the countryside has a TV, and Liu Xiangdong misses the time when he was a child when there was no TV in the village. At that time, after eating, children between the ages of three and eighteen basically went from house to house, in groups of three or five, making trouble together. With a flashlight, two or three people dared to go up the mountain in the middle of the night to chase the bobcat.

While watching TV, Tang Yuhua nagged about the big and small things in the village, such as whose old man went up the mountain, whose daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby, whose daughter married well, and whose kid studied poorly.

Liu Xiangdong listened patiently, and replied a sentence or two from time to time, he lived in the school after he went to junior high school, so he didn't know some of the little babies and new daughters-in-law in the village. And some of the little babies have grown up before, and he doesn't recognize them. His mother knew that he was not very familiar with the village, and she was helping him get acquainted with the situation.

The next day, after breakfast, Tang Yuhua went to work in the field, Liu Qiyuan continued his carpentry, and only Liu Xiangdong had nothing to do. Only half of the two acres of paddy fields at home have been planted, and there are still more than ten days left before the rice can be harvested.

In bed last night, Liu Xiangdong decided that he wanted to earn some money during the holidays and make up enough for his college expenses, and this time he couldn't let his father borrow money again.

There are not many ways to make money in the countryside, so if you want to make money, you have to go to the south to work. The children in the village earn pocket money, and they all go down to the river to touch the snails.

Of course, Liu Xiangdong can't look down on the way to make only three or two yuan a day, but he can't think of a better way for the time being.

Liu Xiangdong, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to wander around the village, but ran into Liu Xiangguo, a cousin of the third uncle's family.

"Fourth brother, why don't you go to work, the factory has a farm holiday so early?" asked Liu Xiangdong.

Liu Xiangguo works in a private factory in the town, and his boss is the most famous 'Zhou Million' in the town. has a net worth of one million in the second OOO year, and he is also a great person. Zhou Million has a starch factory in the town, and Liu Xiangguo works in the starch factory, and I heard that he can get a salary of 600 yuan a month, which is about the same as the income of workers in the county.

The Liu family has a twisting relationship with the Zhou million family, Liu Xiangguo and Liu Xiangdong saw Zhou Million, and they had to call their cousins.

"Adong, you're back, how did you do in the exam?" Liu Xiangguo was more concerned about his cousin's grades.

"Okay, it should be able to be recorded. ”

"That's good, our Rong'en Hall is also a college student. ”

Rongentang is the hall number of the Liu family ancestral hall in this area, there are about seventy or eighty people, if Liu Xiangdong is admitted to the university, he will be regarded as the first college student of their branch, so Liu Xiangguo is also very happy.

"Fourth brother, are you okay in the factory?"

"Alas, the equipment in the factory has broken down in the past few days, and the boss has to take a holiday, and I don't know when I can go back to work, and my salary will definitely be reduced by half this month. ”

"The equipment is broken, and no one repairs it?"

"The old man who manages the equipment in the factory is our old watch, and his three-legged cat technology doesn't even care about dismantling the machine. Two days ago, people from the equipment factory came, and when they heard that it was going to be overhauled, they persuaded Boss Zhou to buy new equipment directly. Boss Zhou was hesitating, he really didn't want to buy a new machine, but the equipment factory didn't want to repair the machine for him, I looked at the two people in the equipment factory who were not authentic, just wanted Boss Zhou to buy their new equipment. ”

The equipment is broken, and no one repairs it? Liu Xiangdong's heart moved.

After graduating in his previous life, Liu Xiangdong changed three units in five years, two of which he was the director of equipment technology, and he was in charge of those in the machine repair class. Coupled with the work experience of that unit later, Liu Xiangdong can say that he is an experienced mechanic, ordinary domestic machinery, there is nothing he dare not dismantle, but whether it can be repaired depends on the situation.

It seems that the way to make money has been found, and repairing equipment is more profitable than touching snails, which is a technical job.

"Fourth brother, I have studied with an old mechanic in the county for more than a year, and I dare to repair the machine. Look, can you take me to see Boss Zhou's machine, maybe I can fix it. Liu Xiangdong begged.

Liu Xiangguo said with some embarrassment: "Adong, yesterday Boss Zhou invited an old mechanic from the county, but he didn't dare to dismantle the equipment, what he was afraid of was that it would not be installed well." Can you really do it?"

"Fourth brother, the blue is better than the blue. I dare to dismantle it, and I promise to put it back as it is. Liu Xiangdong patted his chest and reassured.

"Adong, this is not the alarm clock in your house, it is broken, and it is difficult to explain it to your cousin. ”

"Fourth brother, you believe me once, when did I say something big. ”

Liu Xiangguo was so worn out that he had no choice but to agree to take Liu Xiangdong to the factory to try.
