Lu Li arrived in Yangcheng smoothly, took the suburban county bus to Huanghua, got off the car with simple luggage, and went straight to the ancestral house of the Wei family along the country road full of yellow mud.

When they arrived at the gate, before they could knock on the door, an old man opened the door from the inside and paced outward, and the two people were facing each other, both stunned, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Lu Li turned his mind and guessed the identity of the other party, he bowed respectfully, "You must be Uncle Wei, I am Lu Li, and I am friends with Ling Lang and Brother Zhengrong, this time ......"

"Oh! I know. The old man interrupted him, stepped back a little, and looked at him seriously, "I've heard my Ah Tie and Xiao Rong talk about you many times. Ah Tie? Ah Tie? ”

"It's coming!" Wei Tieliang rushed out of the house in a puff of smoke, distinguished it, and immediately smiled, "Xiao Lu, are you here?" ”

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "Tie Liang, this is uncle, right?" ”

"Ah, yes, Abba, this is Little Lu, I said it before. Little Lu, this is my Abba. ”

Wei Heng smiled and nodded, and accompanied him back to the house with his son, and the old man sat down in the main seat, looking at Lu Li with great interest. There was an old man on the other side, Lu Li didn't dare to talk nonsense, introduced Gu Zhong to the other party, sat on the chair respectfully, and accompanied the smiling face, "Mr. Xiao Lu came to Yangcheng this time to find Xiao Rong, right?" ”

"Yes."

"I heard Xiao Rong tell me about you, you are young, it's not simple, you can take the initiative to find a way to be self-reliant, don't wait or rely on the country, not bad, not bad. Yes, you are a member of the party? ”

"Yes, uncle, I joined the party in 1975."

"It's not easy, but you really want to be progressive politically. As for doing business, do self-employed. It's nothing to be looked down upon by others! What is not needed for the revolution? Eat with your own hands, don't chill! ”

"Yes, Uncle Wei, that's what I thought too. When I first started, I often felt that I was a head shorter. Later, after working for a long time, I gradually got used to it, and even ended this feeling. Or it's not so good, but I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't violate the laws of the country, how can others tolerate me? ”

Wei Heng laughed and nodded solemnly, "That's right!" By the way, you come here this time. Is there something going on? ”

"It's a bit of a thing, well, Tie Liang, Brother Rong is not here?"

"I'm going to school, I'll have to wait until the evening to come back." Wei Tieliang said with a smile: "By the way, he just got a car, and you can drive it for fun when you turn around." ”

"Really? That's great. Lu Li nodded with a smile and said to Wei Heng, "Uncle." I've heard Brother Rong mention you more than once, seriously. The respect in that tone and the admiration on his face have never been to his old man! At that time, I was curious and admired you, and I always wanted to see you, but because of business matters, I always came and went in a hurry, and I didn't find a chance. ”

"Nothing. Nothing. Wei Heng was greatly tickled by his words, and couldn't help but smile happily, "You young people, you are busy yourself, you don't have to make a special trip to see me." ”

"Old man, are you still at work?"

"Up. Isn't it? Our old chief is now in Pengcheng, and he transferred me to work in the local personnel bureau, saying that he was working, but in fact, I basically didn't care about anything there, didn't ask, just got a salary every month. I feel like a parasite now. I told him several times that I wanted to come back, and he just wouldn't let go. Until a few days ago, I felt a little uncomfortable in my waist and legs, so I made such an excuse and came back by train. ”

"Don't think so, I heard Brother Rong and I talk to him about what Secretary Li said to him about repaying his kindness, for you, of course, you uphold the revolutionary friendship and raise Brother Rong to grow up, and you have never had any intention of repaying your kindness, but in Brother Rong's ...... Well, he's your junior, so let's not talk about it, it's right to honor you. As far as Secretary Li is concerned, I think it is more about remembering the help of the year, and staying in Pengcheng is also to get along with you, an old comrade-in-arms who has been friends for many years, and share the starting point of friendship. Do you think that's the truth? ”

Wei Heng laughed, "Good boy, you can speak!" It's not in vain that Xiaorong looks at you so highly! Boy, go, go down there and cook a few dishes, and ask Xiao Lu to cook tonight. ”

"Don't, don't, uncle, I have something else to do this time......"

"I have to eat if I have something, I eat outside, it's always not as good as at home, besides, Xiao Rong will come back in a while. After dinner, you little brothers chatted well, if there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow. ”

The other party kept repeatedly, Lu Li had to obey, spent an afternoon at the Wei family, and when it was close to dusk, Li Zhengrong finally came back, he drove a new Volga car, honking the horn and swaggering on the muddy loess road, until he stopped at the door of the ancestral house, Li Zhengrong was stunned to find that Wei Tieliang and Lu Li were standing on the steps of the door, looking at him with a smile, "Little? Hey, when will it arrive? ”

"I just got off the train today, and I came straight over." Lu Li was also curious, and leaned over to look inside the car, "Where did you get the car?" What, it's yours now? ”

"It's a long story, if you can get this car, you have to miss it!" Li Zhengrong smiled and pushed the door and got out of the car, "How about it, come up and try it?" ”

"Don't try it today, wait for tomorrow, or in a few days, I'll play around."

"I didn't say it, anyway, you take me to school and forget it, and then the car will be given to you, and you can use it however you like."

Lu Li nodded, and then asked, "How did the last thing go?" ”

Li Zhengrong smiled, turned his head and pointed to the car behind him, "Do you see this car, it was left by that old guy!" How's it going? ”

"So, you've got it done? There are two hits! ”

"Tie Liang, you go in first, I'll have a few words with the novel." Li Zhengrong sent Wei Tieliang back, leaned closer to him, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, this thing is very beautiful." Take him down cleanly! This money is kind, but he really offends people because of his temperament, but he is old, and others can't afford to offend him, so he can only endure it, and when Brother Da talks about this matter at the meeting in the city, it is unanimously approved on the spot. After the notice of the meeting went down to a commercial bureau, I heard that Lao Qian stood at the gate of the bureau compound and scolded his mother for three days! What's the use of that? Anyway, I got him down. ”

"So, now?"

"He is now transferred to the Health Bureau as the deputy director, and concurrently serves as the director of the Municipal Family Planning Office." Li Zhengrong said with a smile: "It's an old cadre after all, if you stay there for a few years, you should completely retire." ”

Lu Li shook his head and asked, "I mean, the arrangement of the First Commercial Bureau?" ”

"I didn't say it, the new one is called Wen Hua, who turned out to be the deputy director in charge of animal husbandry, and he is exactly the right way to meet our requirements. Regarding your affairs, I have already met with Da Ge and him, and he patted his chest and promised that as long as we open our mouths, we will have as many as we want! The quality of the meat is also completely fine, and it is guaranteed to pass the customs. ”

"Then ,......" Lu Li thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "In this way, I will stay here in Yangcheng for a few days, visit friends, and before leaving, you take me to their house and make some things clear to him face to face." It's also good to get closer to the relationship in the first step. Don't shake your head, the so-called county official is not as good as the current management, he is the director of a commercial bureau, this kind of thing is that no matter how great the energy of you and Da Ge is, you must not go past others - it is necessary to go through the relationship. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." After Li Zhengrong finished speaking, he felt that this sentence was a bit too disrespectful, and said: "Xiaoxiao, I went to Da Ge's house a few days ago, and I had a long talk with him about doing business in Hong Kong this time,......

"Don't worry, when I look back on this matter, I will also personally say to Da Ge that our friends are friends, and business belongs to business, especially in the accounts, which must be clearly organized. Moreover, I can also promise you that in the future, if the two of you have time and energy, you can send someone to go, of course, you can go yourself, and you can both check the accounts of the business situation in Hong Kong. ”

"No, no, no, no, Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean that, and didn't mean that."

"I know, but this is the rule, it is a matter of money, and I can't just say it, I have to be clear. Well, if this thing succeeds, how about I give 8% of each of your net income as a dividend? ”

Li Zhengrong frowned in embarrassment, he didn't expect it to be so little? "So, okay?"

Lu Li observed his words and quickly understood, "Otherwise, I won't do anything like that, I'll give you a thousand dollars as soon as I give you a month." ”

Li Zhengrong was taken aback, a thousand pieces? It's more than 10,000 a year, what is the concept in this era? "Xiaoxiao, can you give us so much in a year?"

"Yes, but in this case, you can't care if I earn more or less, anyway, I promise to give each of you 12,000 a year! If I earn less than this, and the part of the loss is my own, how about the two of you always guarantee the harvest in drought and flood? ”

Li Zhengrong nodded frequently, more than 10,000 yuan! Is there a family with more than 10,000 in this era? If you don't work hard and catch fish empty-handed, you have 10,000 a year? That's 100,000 in 10 years! What's not to be satisfied with? "If you don't say it, it's as you say! I'll call, and make sure he's jumping for joy! ”

*****************************************

After dinner, Li Zhengrong went to make a phone call, his mouth was full of Cantonese, and he couldn't understand it, but it could be seen from Li Zhengrong's face that the conversation with Li Da went quite smoothly, "Xiaoxiao, Brother Da said, I want to meet you as soon as possible, how about it, can you stay here for a few days?" ”

"Let's set a week."

"So, how about meeting him tomorrow?"

"Don't say goodbye, I want to go to the city tomorrow first, meet a few friends, and wait a few days."

"It's fine." Li Zhengrong said a few words into the phone, and then put it down, "Brother Da said, when you have time and time, but no matter what day it is, he has to thank you well." Good guy, you didn't listen to him on the phone, I can almost imagine it, it must be so beautiful that snot bubbles are coming out! Ha ha! (To be continued......)
