Chapter 8: Two Brothers
Chapter 8: Two Brothers
On the shore of the 'South China Sea', a figure runs back and forth on the white sand, with a straight body, hands clenched into fists, running forward step by step, the soft sea sand seems to bring great resistance to the figure, and every step is extremely difficult. If you look closely, you'll see two 'sandbags' sewn from cloth tied to the figure's legs.
The figure running on the beach is Lu Shaohua, who is only 7 years old, since he decided to strengthen his physical fitness, he comes to the quiet beach every day when the sun does not rise, where no one will disturb him, only occasionally hear a few seagulls chirping and the sound of waves colliding.
Lu Shaohua has been running with weights for more than ten days, in these ten days, whether it is windy or rainy, he insists on getting up before five o'clock every day, after coming to the beach, choose a relatively clean beach to run back and forth, when the sun is high, he will go home for breakfast. Although he has only exercised for less than ten days, the effect is still very good, his spirit has become much fuller, and his skin has become dark under the scorching sun, giving people the feeling of two words 'health'. If you take off your pants, you will find that his legs are very strong, without the slightest fat, which can be regarded as a strong one.
"Whew" Lu Shaohua stopped and exhaled, wiped the sweat beads on his head with his hands, his whole body was exuding heat, and suddenly a gust of sea breeze blew, which was extremely comfortable. "That's all for today, go back." ……
As soon as he arrived at the door, Lu Shaohua found a few pairs of leather shoes in front of the door, and he knew that there were guests coming, because in the countryside in 85 years, shoes would only be worn when he was a guest or when he came home from outside, otherwise he would only wear slippers. When I walked into the living room, I saw that my father and uncle were still there, and there were two men who looked familiar and strange sitting on the chair.
"Third uncle, fourth uncle," suddenly seemed to remember in his mind, and Lu Shaohua naturally reacted and called out.
"Hahaha, the little prodigy is back, come here, let the third uncle hug me." It is Lu Shaohua's third uncle - Lu Jiahui who speaks, in fact, Lu Jiayao has five brothers, Lu Jiayao is the eldest in the family, the second child died of poverty and starvation when he was a child, and the third Lu Jiahui, the fourth Lu Jiacheng, the fifth Lu Chang, and Lu Jiahui because of the poverty of the family, he has not studied since he was a child, and he went out to work when he was 18 years old, and now Lu Jiahui is 27 years old and has not been married.
According to the memories of his previous life, Lu Jiahui waited until he was 30 years old to get married, and his wife could not have children after marriage, so he had no choice but to raise a boy. After getting married, Lu Jiahui took his wife to Shenzhen to do business, but because he was uneducated and rude, he finally did a little business, and by the 21st century, he had a little savings.
As for Lu Jiacheng, he graduated from high school and couldn't get into college, and later went out to work, he usually doesn't like to talk much, his surname is relatively calm, and finally he followed Lu Jiahui to Shenzhen to do some 'small business'.
Lu Shaohua obediently sat down on Lu Jiahui's lap, and secretly thought in his heart: "Since I have been reborn, I must completely change my family, and I can't let them do some small business like in my previous life." But now that he has not yet developed, how can he make his family completely rich? ”
"What should you do?" This question hovered in Lu Shaohua's mind, but there was still no good way to think about it. "Forget it, let's tell them not to go out to work, and help manage the dozen acres of lychees at home." With a plan in his heart, Lu Shaohua's eyes rolled, and he asked, "Third uncle, fourth uncle, why did you go home so early?" There are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival. ”
"Hey" Lu Jiahui sighed first, and then said: "The third uncle and your fourth uncle are not going, there is no future there, so I will go home early while the Chinese New Year is going to see if there is any way at home, no, as soon as I go home, I will hear that the whole village is saying that you are a 'genius', how about it?" Do you have any ways to introduce this 'genius'? Lu Jiahui said to Lu Shaohui, who was sitting on his lap, with a half-joking tone.
In fact, in 85, Lu Jiahui and Lu Jiacheng both went to work in factories outside, but the wages were not high, and both of them smoked, so they couldn't save money at all, so the two of them went home to see if there was any other way out.
"Then don't go out, now our family has contracted more than a dozen acres of land to plant lychees, and we will have a bumper harvest in more than two years, and we will definitely be too busy at that time." Lu Shaohua was still thinking about how to persuade the two of them to stay at home to help, and now that he has such a good opportunity, of course he has to climb up the pole.
At this time, Lu Jiayao also said: "Yes, don't go out, you won't be able to make a lot of money if you go, help at home, your sister-in-law and I can't be busy." ”
If Lu Shaohua asked the two of them to stay, they didn't have a little heartbeat, it was fake, after all, it was not easy for them to go out to work, it was difficult for people to manage it to death, it was different at home, when they were tight, they would do more and live a lot, fast and slow were the same, the main thing was 'freedom' was the most important.
But now that Lu Jiayao, who is the eldest brother, has spoken, there is still a bit of weight, even if they don't want to stay, they can't do it, not to mention that they have no way out at all now. The two thought for a while, and almost at the same time, they replied in unison; "Okay."
The two of them agreed, Lu Shaohua was just a little happy in his heart, in fact, if the two of them stayed, Lu Shaohua had another purpose. Which is to wait for this year's lychees to mature, buy other people's lychees and go to Shenzhen to sell them first, so that you can also try the market, if the market is good, wait for two years later, your own family lychees will be harvested, and you will also go to Shenzhen to sell together. The price of selling in Shenzhen is not comparable to the price of selling at home, after all, it must be one of China's five major special economic zones, although the special economic zone has only been established for five years, but the economy there is not comparable to Lu Shaohua's small village at all, not to mention the level of people's consumption.
According to Lu Shaohua's estimate, if it is sold directly in the village, it is estimated that it will be between four and five yuan per catty, but if it is pulled to the special economic zone, it is normal for the price to double. Lu Shaohua kept yy: "If it is ten yuan per catty, ten catties is one hundred, one hundred catties is one thousand, and one thousand catties is ten thousand yuan, ah!" ……“
Lu Shaohua didn't dare to count it, because the money was not a hundred or two hundred, but ten times and ten times overturned. But after thinking about it: "It seems that their family has nothing to do with Shenzhen, if they take the lychee down and can't sell it, the lychee will rot all of a sudden, and it will be nothing." ”
Thinking about it, he didn't have any relatives in Shenzhen, so he had to give up. "Hey, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ……
ps: For the problem of lychee price, it will take two or three years for lychees to be harvested, and if it is slow, it will take five years, but because of the problem of tight time, 'Xiaomeng' uses 'foliar fertilizer' to make lychees grow faster, so it will be able to hang fruit in about 2 and a half years, hehe, although it is a little unreasonable, but it is still reasonable.;
