The officer on duty at the gate post ran over, panting, and saw that Li Lu happened to come down from the top of the office building, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran over.

"Director, someone is looking for you." The duty officer gasped.

Li Lu asked, "Who?" Why don't you bring it to the office. ”

The officer on duty said, "He said it was your younger brother, whose name was Li Zuming, and I couldn't verify it, so I could only report it first." ”

"Oh, our fourth child."

Li Lu motioned for the officer on duty to get into the car, and stepped on the accelerator to go to the gate.

From a distance, I saw Li Zuming standing at the door of the duty room, wearing a green military uniform - Li Lu was eliminated and taken by his mother Cai Yefen to change it short, and then wore it for the fourth child, the fourth child couldn't wear it, and then put it on for the fifth and sixth children, what, the fifth and sixth children can't wear it? Inexistent.

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Lu stopped the car and jumped out of the car, "Fourth, what's wrong at home?" ”

Li Zuming came here directly, obviously there was an accident at home, and it was urgent. It's not a big deal, Cai Yefen will definitely not let a few small ones come over and affect Li Lu's work. In Cai Yefen's eyes, nothing is as important as work, not to mention that the old third end is an iron rice bowl, which should be cherished.

Li Zuming stepped on a pair of sewn and mended liberation rubber shoes, the shoes were obviously big, wiped a handful of snot with his sleeve, he was pleasantly surprised, "Third brother! Mom told you to go home and chop sugar cane! ”

At this time, the security guard standing at the door of the duty room stuck out his tongue - it was really the director's younger brother. Who would believe that a rural boy wearing a bunch of patched clothes and dragging a pair of obviously oversized and equally sewn liberation rubber shoes could be the younger brother of the director.

Li Lu didn't care about this, no matter what his younger brother was dressed in, he would be his younger brother. Is Li Lu poor, of course, but Cai Yefen is so poor that he can't wait to break a flower, and even after Li Guoguang is in charge of the Guoguang Building Materials Firing Factory over there, he still has the same thoughts.

The big clothes don't fit well, and they are eliminated for the small ones to wear, and if the baton goes on like this, it is not uncommon for a piece of clothing to be worn for ten or twenty years. In these years, no one has a few family heirloom clothes, especially military coats, and they are older than most people when they take out a random one.

Li Lu was stunned, I went up and down for a few hundred yuan a minute, and went home to cut sugar cane?

"Third brother, let's go!" Li Zuming saw that Li Lu was in a daze, urged, suddenly thought of a little, and asked suspiciously, "Hey, don't your factories have a farm holiday?" Our school is on vacation! ”

Li Lu came back to his senses and said, "Put, of course." Let's go, go home. ”

As he spoke, he was about to beckon Li Zuming to get into the car, but Li Zuming pointed to the LC80 parked over there and said, "Third brother, Mom told you to drive the big jeep back and pull some sugarcane." ”

Li Lu was so frightened that he was about to fall into a coma, and the security officer over there almost bit his tongue - my God, millions of luxury off-road vehicles, pulling sugar cane?

didn't think about it, Li Lu agreed and said, "Okay, drive a big jeep back." ”

Li Zuming walked briskly to the LC80, in his eyes, the 212 jeep was ugly, and it couldn't compare to this huge jeep. Of course, he didn't know that such a big jeep could be exchanged for more than twenty 212 jeeps.

After getting into the car, Li Lu said to the officer on duty while starting, "You tell Captain Zhang that I will go home, I am not in the factory, and he will be responsible for the affairs of the security department." ”

"Yes!" The duty officer saluted.

Li Lu rushed home with Li Zuming.

From December to February, it is the busy agricultural period, and the most planted crop in the local area is sugarcane, which is the largest planting area in the country. Sugarcane is the main income of farmers in the dry port area. In the third year of the package production, almost every household has planted sugarcane, and one or two months before the Spring Festival every year is the harvest time. The harvest has been fruitful for the New Year.

The land is divided according to the population, and if the family has a large population, more land will be allocated, and of course the grain handed over will remain unchanged. There are fewer people who grow rice, so every year everyone will pay according to the standard, commonly known as paying public grain.

Baixing Village is a suburban village, with a large population in the village, and relatively few fields in hand, with an average of 2.5 mu per capita, and the Li family of eight has 20 mu of land. During the planting season of the year, the Li family was still on the Wuyi farm in other provinces, so they naturally could not plant. Their land was taken by the rest of the village, and all of them were planted with sugar cane.

After Li Guoguang dragged his family back, he asked the village for land, and the village hurriedly coordinated to return the land, and the Li family wanted to make up the seed money and wages to the villagers who occupied the land, where did they dare to ask for it, and besides, they had occupied it for two years and had extra income.

At that time, Li Lu served as the deputy chief of the security section of Guangming Factory, and whoever dared to work against the Li family in the village did not need to say a word more, and obediently returned the field.

That's it, the Li family's twenty acres of land are all sugarcane. This year, there are few typhoons, and the growth is very good. Sugarcane farmers are most afraid of typhoons. Typhoons in the dry port area are usually concentrated from June to October, when the sugarcane grows meat.

Ripe sugarcane is more than two meters tall, and the sugarcane is already as tall as an adult during the typhoon season. At this time, a typhoon has hit you all, and the foundation has been damaged, which affects the absorption of nutrients, which is not bad, and it will be swept down for you, and this year will be in vain.

Sugar cane, which lasts for 10 months during the growth season, is not an easy crop, but it is a very important raw material for a necessity - sugar.

Therefore, the dry port area is known as the sweet port.

The province with the largest sugar production in China is the Southern Province, and among the southern provinces, the dry port area is the main province, accounting for almost 80% of the weight.

It can be said that the cultivation of sugarcane is the expenditure of agriculture in the inland port area, and the sugar industry is currently the most dynamic industrial sub-enterprise in the inland port area. Of course, at this moment, the sugar mills in the whole region are all local state-owned enterprises, and the largest Xinbai sugar factory is in Xihe County, which is therefore known as the Licking County in the sweet port.

Therefore, cutting sugar cane is a big deal in the eyes of local farmers.

Cai Yefen attaches so much importance to Li Lu's current job, she has to drive Li Lu back to help cut sugarcane. From this point of view, you can imagine the importance of cutting sugar cane.

Cutting sugarcane is a grand event of the year for local farmers, just like planting sugarcane in the year, the whole family goes into battle, relatives and friends come to help, first your family and then my family, the fields are full of busy figures.

Li Lu didn't dare not go back, Cai Yefen didn't know that the third child of her family had already started an arms and oil business with foreigners. Besides, these businesses have no concept in Cai Yefen's mind.

Can there be such a big thing as cutting sugar cane?

Since ancient times, the peasants did not care who was the emperor, but this year, with one less harvest, they can all the sky out. If the state could have waived the tax, then they would have shouted that the prosperity had come, even if it was only an agricultural tax of a few dozen dollars per person a year.

Of course, at present, the agricultural tax of more than a dozen yuan is not a small amount.

Li Lu drove the LC80 all the way back to Baixing Village, and as far as the eye could see, the flat fields were full of busy figures. Now that the sun is setting, it's a good time to work overtime and do more work before dinner.

"Fourth, do you want to learn to drive?" Li Lu suddenly asked Li Zuming.

Li Zuming's eyes lit up, he stood up directly, hit his head on the roof of the car, let out a scream, and then ignored the pain, and said excitedly, "Think, think, third brother, you teach me?" ”

"Well, but there is a condition, get the top three in the final exam." Li Lu said.

Li Zuming looked like he had overcome all difficulties, and resolutely agreed: "No problem!" I'm sure I'll be in the top three! ”

He was fourteen years old, and he started school late, and he was only in his first year of junior high school.

At this age, it's no problem to learn to drive.
