Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 18
In the 80s, if you were said to be too sophisticated, you were associated with being cunning, cunning, and a villain.

Nowadays, people are praised for being honest, kind, and without any evil intentions.

Since childhood, Lu Zaigao and Lu's mother have repeatedly told Lu Changhua not to be slick, to speak out, and not to flatter his boss.

Lu Changhua followed this code of conduct in his previous life, and ended up getting hit all over his head!
The eldest brother Lu Changzhong was also kicked out of the radio station and returned to farming in the three-point field. Later, he couldn't bear this breath, so he went out to work and never came back.

This black land has become a place of sadness for him. He is obsessed with it in his dreams, but he doesn't want to see the person who framed him again.

Lu Changhua rushed home today just because he wanted to have a good talk with his eldest brother.

Push open the courtyard door and pass through the grass seeds piled up like a city wall.

It snowed last night, and the house was covered with a canvas tarpaulin, and a layer of snow fell on the tarpaulin.

Xiong Bao returned to his territory, jumped up and down to the front, squatted in front of the door and opened the door.

Lu Changhua glanced at the sacks in the yard and saw that they were well covered, so he took two steps and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a stream of steam came out.

It was so foggy inside that I couldn't see anyone clearly.

"Mom, where are you cooking?!"

"My son is back. Food will be ready soon. Come in quickly."

In the mist, my mother told Lu Changhua to come in quickly, and he would be able to eat in a while.

I touched the door on the left and as soon as I opened it, Xiong Bao rushed in from behind.

Lu Changhua stepped in and quickly closed the door, blocking out the steam in the kitchen.

The dining table has been set in the living room.

Dad was sitting on the edge of the Kang, and my eldest brother was sitting on the stool opposite.

The table was empty.

The two men didn't know what they were talking about.

Seeing Lu Changhua come in, the eldest brother stood up, pulled up the stool and said, "Brother, come and sit down."

"Brother, please sit down and I'll get the dishes."

Lu Changhua turned around and went out, touching the dish rack at home in the mist.

This is a small wooden cabinet with dishes and plates inside, as well as a chopstick cage, where the chopsticks at home are placed.

After using it for a long time, the cabinet door was gone and only a piece of gauze was nailed to it to serve as a cabinet curtain.

"Mom, we need to hang up the door curtain of our house, otherwise there will be draft at night."

In the bungalows in the Northeast, every winter, not only newspapers must be pasted on the outside of the windows, but also plastic sheets must be nailed to prevent the wind.

Both doors should be hung with cotton curtains.

One is hung in the entrance door.

One hangs outside the door into the living room.

In fact, even so, the cotton curtains would freeze every morning.

"After dinner, you two can hang up."

"Eh."

Lu Changhua agreed, counted the bowls and chopsticks, and entered the living room.

As soon as it was put on the table, my mother shouted outside the house.

"Son, here comes the food."

"coming."

Lu Changhua and Lu Changzhong both went to the kitchen.

Mom had already scooped up a plate of shredded potatoes and handed it to Lu Changzhong.

Then he turned around and handed a basin of steamed buns to Lu Changhua.

"Mom, come quickly."

"You guys eat first, I'm going to heat up the pig food."

"Reheat it after you finish eating!"

"It's a matter of fire."

Xiong Bao followed up, winding back and forth around the family's feet like a snagging rope.

Mom still insists on heating the pig food first.

The three masters of the Lu family sat at the dinner table without moving their chopsticks.

The shredded potatoes on the table are steaming hot, and the delicious aroma makes people drool.

The hot steamed buns exude the aroma of wheat.

"Hiss."

Lu Changhua sniffed twice.

"Dad, why does this steamed bun have a musty smell?!"

Just as Lu Zaigao was about to speak, Lu's mother opened the door and walked in.

"Can there be no musty smell? The wheat has been soaked in water this year, and flour mills can only use this kind of wheat to make white flour. If it smells a little bit, just eat it."

Mom said as she walked to the table and sat next to dad.

"Have a meal."

Dad didn't say anything, just picked up the steamed bun and started eating it.

"Brother, your agency also eats steamed buns like this?!"

Lu Changhua started the topic.

Lu Changzhong glanced at his parents who were eating on the opposite side, and then said in a low voice, "Same thing, the steamed buns I ate these days have a smell."

"Don't talk while eating."

Lu Zaigao frowned, a little unhappy.

The eldest brother immediately shut up and started eating.

Lu Changhua had no choice but to stop talking.

This is the rule in the Lu family. You are not allowed to talk while eating. You have to eat quietly. If you have anything to do, talk about it after eating.

The so-called "eat without talking or sleeping without talking".

At this time, Bao Xiong was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed. He lay silently under the table and just looked at him. He didn’t know who or what he was looking at. Maybe in his little heart, he had been waiting for his master’s love. Or hope that the owner will remember it.

After the meal, Lu's mother went to feed the pigs, while Lu Zaigao went to the canteen.

Lu Changhua then had time to chat with his elder brother.

"Brother, is there something wrong with you?"

"No, don't ask around."

Lu Changzhong did have something to do when he came back this time.

The radio station belongs to the Propaganda Department of the Farm Party Committee.

Lu Changzhong has been working as an intern at the radio station for more than a year and has not become a regular employee.

He himself didn't dare to ask about the situation, so he could only speculate blindly.

Some time ago, the radio station suddenly recruited a young man named Wang.

It has a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks.

Monkey King has a sweet mouth and knows how to get things done. Within a few months, he has become an integral part of the organization.Recently there was a training class in the capital. After all, Lu Changzhong was from the Advanced Broadcasting Station. He thought this was an opportunity and wanted to go to the capital to study.But the king monkey didn't know how it worked, so he finally went.

Lu Changzhong had no choice but to know the news.

Of course, this is the memory of Lu Changhua's previous life.

He knew that his eldest brother suffered a lot of frustration and was eventually kicked out of the radio station by King Monkey.

"Brother, do you want to work at the radio station?"

"Huh? Of course!"

For Lu Changzhong, the farm radio station is his only way out. If he is not at the radio station, where can he go? !
"Brother, you are too straightforward."

Lu Changhua's words stunned Lu Changzhong. He blinked and said, "Isn't it wrong to be an upright person?!"

"Brother, there is nothing wrong with being upright, but we must be a person who is round on the outside and square on the inside."

After saying this, Lu Changhua looked at his eldest brother and said patiently: "The principles that our parents taught us are correct, but we must learn to apply them flexibly. We cannot cling to such ideas and not know how to adapt."

"For example, what would you do if you found out someone was speaking ill of your colleagues behind their backs?"

"Of course I have to tell my colleagues."

Lu Changzhong thought it was natural to do so.

"Hehe, brother, tell people directly that so-and-so said bad things about you, have you thought about the consequences?!"

"What consequences?"

"This colleague may not necessarily appreciate you."

"What?"

"Because, colleagues have to think about whether what you said is true and whether you are provoking. Or maybe he feels that you are provoking, and no one else has ever said such a thing."

"You offended two people at the same time. The people listening may not believe you, and the people telling you will hate you to death if they find out."

"Also, what if this colleague has a bad temper and goes directly to fight with him?"

"What if someone died because of your words?"

Lu Changhua's continuous questioning left the eldest brother Lu Changzhong speechless.

It took a long time before he said: "Is it because I am too straight-tempered?"

"You will hit a wall when you behave like this."

"Let's just say that your unit went out to study. How did you handle it?"

"Ah? How do you know?"

"Don't worry about this. Is this the case?!"

"Yes, I have."

Lu Changzhong saw that his brother already knew about this, so he no longer concealed it.

"I want to go, but the leader hasn't mentioned it yet."

He frowned and said, "Monkey King is jumping up and down, I'm worried..."

"Don't worry, Monkey King is almost gone."

"Ah? Oh..."

Lu Changzhong sighed in disappointment.

"Are you discouraged?"

"Then what else can I do? This kid is too cunning, I can't fight him."

Lu Changzhong covered his face with both hands and rubbed his cheeks hard until his skin turned red.

"It's not that you can't fight him, it's that you didn't fight him at all!"

"Oh, that's right. I didn't want to argue with him, but he..."

"Brother, this is the wisdom of the world."

Lu Changhua looked at the dejected Lu Changzhong.

"You have to fight for everything yourself and try your best to fight for it. Whether you can succeed is left to God, but you don't even have the courage to fight for it. Even if the leader is determined to cultivate you, he will give up when he sees you being so inactive. Yes. Do you think this is the case?!"

"Besides, if you work hard and down-to-earth, your leadership will see it. Don't be discouraged. As long as you actively strive for it, you will have hope of success. If you don't strive for it, there will be no hope at all."

Lu Changzhong looked at his brother, who was two years younger than him, and thought about it carefully for a while, his eyes gradually brightened.

"Yes, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, you have to take the initiative to fight for it."

He clenched his fists to cheer himself up.

"Yes, take the initiative to fight for it."

He was talking to himself, got up and went to find his schoolbag.

"Hey, brother, what are you in a hurry for?"

Lu Changhua grabbed Lu Changzhong's arm, asked him to sit down, and then said: "When doing anything, you must first think about the steps. What if you go for it and the leader refuses? What should you do if the leader hesitates? What should you do if the leader delays? "

"Yes, what should I do?"

Lu Changzhong raised his head in confusion and asked.

"These problems must be solved. The most important thing is to think of countermeasures in advance."

"I remember your leader is Minister Sun, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Changzhong nodded.

"In this case, don't go back to your work first. Go to Erlongshan Forest Farm. There is a deer farm there..."

Lu Changzhong stared, listening to his brother's idea.

Later, Lu Changhua counted out ten more unity cards and handed them to his eldest brother.

"Go ahead and do it."

"No, I have money."

Lu Changzhong stood up and refused.

"Brother, take it first and do as I say. If it's convenient, buy more. I just need it."

"Oh, then I'm welcome."

"Why are you so polite to us brothers? Go and come back quickly."

"Eh."

Lu Changzhong tidied up and put on a cotton jacket, cotton trousers, a cotton hat, cotton gloves, and cotton shoes.

He sorted out the money and put it in his pocket.

Then he waved to his brother.

"Brother, I'm leaving."

"Brother, please be safe."

"rest assured."

At this time, Lu Changzhong's face was full of joy, as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du.

Looking at his elder brother heading west, Lu Changhua stood at the entrance of the courtyard, with sparse snowflakes floating in the sky.

Xiong Bao squatted next to Lu Changhua and looked at Lu Changzhong who was leaving in the distance. He must be as worried about him as a relative!
