In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qingyan knocked on the door before the roosters in the village crowed.

Lu Ze wouldn't stay in bed, but he cleaned the house from top to bottom last night. He was cold and tired, so he didn't go to bed until midnight, and he couldn't get up in the morning.

Hearing the crisp voice outside, Lu Ze closed his eyes, lifted his spirits and shouted: "Here we come." The

cold wind was blowing outside, and it was bitingly cold when he got out of bed. Lu Ze didn't change his expression, but he added another pair of trousers inside his outer trousers. Thanks to his tall body and long legs, he doesn't look bloated.

Looking at this scene, 777 secretly laughed in his heart.

There was still some hot water boiled yesterday in the thermos, so Lu Zecuo washed his face and brushed his teeth. He didn't let Xu Qingyan wait outside for a long time, and went out with money.

Outside the door, Xu Qingyan originally thought that he would have to wait for him for a long time, but he didn't expect him to be quite agile. He was carrying a big bag, looked at Lu Ze in the dim morning light, hesitated for a while and said, "Just wear what you wear, it will be cold on the road." Lu Ze

looked at the young man in front of him, not to mention, just The upper part is the inner three layers and the outer three layers, wrapped in a thick padded jacket, the originally thin figure is abruptly rounded by lining.

Lu felt that he was well dressed and not too cold.

Xu Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "The tractor is running cold, and it's still windy in the morning, so you should wear a scarf and a hat anyway." Seeing his insistence, Lu Ze went back to the house after a moment of silence, and searched through the box to find it

. The scarf left by Lu's mother and Lu's father's hat were wrapped three more times before going out.

Xu Qingyan was finally satisfied.

The meeting point is at the head of the village.

The village head's family is the only one in the village with a tractor, and they usually bring their fathers and villagers with them when they go to the market. Of course, it's not for nothing. The villagers either give some money or something. After all, they also consume fuel to go back and forth.

Xu Qingyan carried the bag all the way, which contained the 200-jin sheep.

After returning home last night, the family discussed for a long time what to do with the sheep, and the most exciting way was to take it to the city and sell it.

But thinking that it was Lu Ze calling back on purpose, they turned around and sold the things, which was really ugly.

But if they want to stay, they feel distressed and are reluctant to eat.

Xu Qingyan listened to them discussing there, and remained silent for a long time before saying: "It's not like Lu Ze doesn't know what's going on with our family, so why bother to make a fat face like this. I'll take it to the city and sell it tomorrow, and leave a few catties of mutton for Dad Make up for your health, and the remaining money will be enough for us to relax next year."

Xu's father was silent for a while, and Xu's mother sighed: "You are right."

It's just that it is a bit embarrassing.

There is no way to take out the things sent by people and sell them.

If it weren't for the difficulties at home...

hey.

The weight of two hundred catties is not just for talking. After all, when Xu Qingyan was young and still growing, his movements were inevitably a little reluctant.

Originally, it was so easy when Lu Ze brought the sheep back, Xu Qingyan thought he could do it, but he overestimated himself.

Xu's mother simply sent the remaining baskets and various mountain goods to the entrance of the village early in the morning, so Xu Qingyan didn't have to worry about anything else.

Lu Ze watched him walk away for a long time, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he reached out and took his bag: "I'll do it."



Xu Qingyan wanted to refuse, but Lu Ze pointed forward : "If someone asks later, what do you say?" What is it, Xu Qingyan really can't fool it.

He took a step forward: "I'll lift it with you."

Lu Ze strode forward directly and said, "You can walk faster first."

Lu Ze is about 1.8 meters tall, with long legs and big steps. It was true that he was a bit reluctant, and he couldn't help pursing his mouth quietly when he heard the words. Although he was more grateful in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He will grow!

When the two arrived at the entrance of the village, almost everyone had already arrived. Xu's mother had already put other things on the tractor, and there were many people sitting in it.

Lu Ze held the bag up, and the people around couldn't help but look at each other:

"Is this kid Lu?"

"Really...he looks exactly like his father when he was young.

" He..."

The voices of the people around were not too loud, so Lu Ze could naturally hear them, and he raised his head and called one by one: "Uncle, aunt." "

Hey, hey." Those people were obviously surprised, and after a glance, someone tried Asked: "Boy Lu is going to the market too?"

"Yes." Lu Ze smiled and said, "Go and see in the city."

"Oh, ok, ok." The man was a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say, and Someone looked at the big bag behind him and asked curiously, "Boy Lu is carrying such a big bag, what's in it?"

They could see that the thing was not light, and it made a bang when it came up.

Xu Qingyan at the side couldn't help licking his lips when he heard the words.

Lu Ze smiled and wrote lightly: "There is nothing at home. I went up the mountain yesterday to try my luck. I happened to meet a sheep that was alone. I wanted to bring it to the city to sell today." "Ouch!" A group of people

cheered Exclaimed: "Sheep are a rare thing! You look like a hundred catties!"

Lu Ze said: "It's not too big, it's probably a lost lamb, less than a hundred catties. I don't know how to burn it at home, so I thought I could buy something else after selling it."

"Hehe, yes, yes." Although a group of people envied him for having such good luck, they didn't know him well, so it was hard to say anything . I just thought that the farming is slack anyway, and there is nothing to do. I will let the boys in the family go to the mountains to see it later, not to mention sheep, even a pheasant or a rabbit is a meal.

Xu Qingyan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he was used to not dealing with these uncles, if he said something that shouldn't be said, no one would be jealous.

The people who spoke had already arrived, and the tractor was starting, making a loud rumbling sound.

Xu's mother came early and took a good seat for them. There was something blocking the front of the car and the wind was not so strong.

Xu Qingyan moved closer to Lu Ze and whispered his thanks in his ear.

The surrounding wind is cold, and the warm breath in the ear is fleeting, but it is very obvious.

Lu Ze turned his head to meet Xu Qingyan's face. The young man's mouth and nose were wrapped under the scarf, but his eyes were exposed. They were black and bright, like the most glorious obsidian, dazzling and gorgeous.

Lu Ze was taken aback, and then said it was all right.

Before he could turn his head, something warm was stuffed into his hand. He looked down and saw that it was a freshly baked pancake with some chopped green onion inside, it looked fragrant and crispy, the kind that fell off in one bite.

The sound of the tractor was rumbling and noisy, so Xu Qingyan could only lean into his ear and talk: "My mother baked the pancakes in the morning, let's eat them on the way."

He took out a water cup from the bamboo basket beside him and wrapped it in a towel. The ground is solid and warm.

Xu Qingyan said: "There is still water, drink it while it's hot."

Lu Ze's mood was a little complicated for a while.

He knew the situation of Xu's family, and he probably was very economical in eating and drinking. Yesterday, he steamed a large pot of rice to treat him; today, he baked pancakes, using white flour.

Lu Ze lowered his head and took a bite, and said, "Thank you, auntie, for me."

Xu Qingyan took a casual bite and said in a low voice, "We should thank you.

" Stuffed him one, and ate three in a row. Seeing that Xu Qingyan wanted to stuff more, Lu Ze said helplessly: "I'm done." Xu's

mother used really good ingredients, and the two pancakes were warm and full. Pretty much.

Xu Qingyan handed him the water again, but Lu Ze hesitated for a while, then unscrewed the bottle cap, opened his mouth without touching the bottle, and took two sips.

Xu Qingyan naturally noticed his movements, his eyelashes were slightly drawn back, and his heart was very particular.

After waiting for a while, he silently ate the pancakes, feeling a little choked, and asked Lu Ze with the bottle, "Do you want more?"

Seeing that Lu Ze shook his head, he brought it to his lips and took a sip .

Lu Ze paused when he saw this, but didn't say anything.

The dirt roads in the countryside are not easy to walk, and it took nearly an hour to get to the city after stumbling along the way.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the city seemed to be somewhat crowded.

Most of the people went to the market, but Lu Ze asked the village head's son to let them down at the entrance of the state-run restaurant.

Most people can't eat a whole sheep, and they don't have the conditions to kill it and sell it now. The best way is to sell it to restaurants and the like.

Among them, the state-run restaurants are the richest.

Lu Ze helped Xu Qingyan carry the sheep down, and the receptionist at the door hurriedly called the manager out after hearing their intentions. In order not to delay the business, a group of people moved to the back kitchen, but many guests in the hall saw the sheep in the bag.

The manager asked someone to weigh it, and asked some questions. After learning that it was called just last night and it was frozen outside all night, he couldn't help but nodded.

"Well, this sheep is really fresh, and I won't lower your price. I'll give you 274 yuan and 80 cents for the whole sheep. What do you think?" the manager said.

Xu Qingyan was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he said calmly: "Our state-run hotel is naturally fair in doing business. How about this, you give me two hundred and seventy yuan, and then give me a few catties of meat, and take two A bone, will it work?"

Seeing that he was straightforward, the manager didn't bother him any more, and immediately said, "Success! Guaranteed to leave you with a few catties of good meat!"

Xu Qingyan smiled, and the manager asked someone to find the money. After getting a thick stack of Great Unity, the smile on his face deepened a bit.

Lu Ze kept watching behind him without making a sound. Seeing him negotiating with the manager a little bit, with a bit of maturity that doesn't belong to this age, he frowned inadvertently, and then slowly relaxed.

A seventeen-year-old boy is not too young, and he should grow up slowly.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

The sheep are not easy to deal with now, so they agreed to come to pick them up in the afternoon. The manager knew that he still had mountain products, and after checking the quality, he decided to accept them. Although it was 50% lower than the ones sold outside, they were all sold anyway. In the past, there were always leftovers.

Xu Qingyan was satisfied.

Lu Ze watched him carefully put away the money, opened the padded jacket and then lifted the sweater. A small pocket was sewn into the exposed underwear at the heart, and the surrounding area was tightly sealed, leaving only a two-finger-wide mouth Put money in, and there are even two buttons on it.

Lu Ze took a look, then looked away, Xu Qingyan tidied up his clothes, and smiled embarrassedly.

He said: "I have to go to the market later, sell all the remaining bamboo baskets, and go to the bookstore to buy some books in the afternoon, do you want to go with me?" Lu Ze shook his head: "I have other

books matters."

Xu Qingyan also knew that he must be busy with his own business when he came to the city, and it is already very good to be able to help himself in this way, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just reminded him: "Are you going back to the village at night? Uncle Zheng's tractor usually leaves at four o'clock in the afternoon, and if you go back, you will have to wait here."

Lu Ze nodded, "Got it."

Seeing his statement, Xu Qingyan was relieved. The two said goodbye and walked in different directions.

777 looked at Xu Qingyan carrying large and small bamboo baskets, and couldn't help but ask: [Host, don't you want to follow me to have a look? 】

Lu Ze paused: 【What are you looking at? 】

He said: 【A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old is not abducted by human traffickers, so can he get lost? ]

777 was speechless for a while, and finally said after a long time: 【You didn't treat the last task object like this before. 】

Lu Ze smiled: [That's my wife, is he? 】

777 was silent for a moment, and choked out a sentence: 【Host, this is what you humans often say, double standards. 】

Lu Ze only said: 【Thank you. ]

Walking according to the place in memory, Lu Ze has his own business to go to the city this time.

To protect Xu Qingyan's smooth life, first of all, he has to stand up himself, so that he can help Xu Qingyan when he encounters problems.

In this era that is about to usher in the beginning of rapid development, Lu Ze has also thought about what to do. Xu Qingyan will definitely take the road of intellectuals in the future, his talent lies there. Lu Ze originally thought about being a pioneer on this road. After all, the knowledge in his mind is enough to give him a high status in this era. But the original body's qualifications are there, and everyone knows about his junior high school education. He couldn't achieve it overnight, so he couldn't explain it. But if you have to take your time and climb up step by step from the university, it will take too long to realize it.

After thinking about it, the most suitable thing is to go into business.

The parents of the original owner worked hard and were always frugal. They have saved a lot of money after working for so many years, which is considered a huge sum of money in the eyes of outsiders. Coupled with the accidents of both parents, the compensation received from the factory and the perpetrators, it adds up to a lot of money in this era.

Now real estate has not yet emerged, and other high-tech has not even seen a shadow. If Lu wants to start a business, he can only start with industry. Among those industries, the one with the lowest cost and the easiest access is the garment industry.

Lu Ze's mind was spinning quickly. The original owner's parents left a lot of money, but it was far from enough to start a clothing factory from scratch.

Since you can't do it yourself, then rent it...

The original owner was hanging out with a group of cronies in the city, so he got to know a group of people. He said he was opening a local clothing factory, and implicitly hinted at the prospects of this clothing factory. They went to the south for a professional inspection. I also did market research locally, and even invited two masters and two technicians from outside with high salaries. The original owner and they went to the factory to see it once. When they saw the professional equipment assembly line, they were immediately moved and felt that there was a lot to do. After a good deal of talking, he persuaded them to bring him with him, and with a wave of his big hand, he took out two thousand yuan and threw it in.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the factory itself. The equipment is real, the employees are real, and the designers and masters hired outside are also real.

But the group of people behind the factory, on the surface, are making clothes, but in fact they are engaged in trafficking in women and children. This is just a cover for their business behind the scenes.

After the original owner boarded their boat, people said that the factory had just been established and the profit was not good for the first two months, so they asked him to wait. The original owner also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but he didn't want to. After waiting, the police arrested him, and the original owner was forced to walk around the prison, and was released after confirming that he really didn't know.

In the end, although the money was returned, he went to the bureau for a while. It can be said that it was nothing but nothing.

Now the original owner has invested the 2,000 yuan, and Lu Ze is here to recover the interest.

After the group of people entered, the factory became a thing without an owner, and all the things inside were taken over by the public. But there are still many uninformed employees in the factory, and some old masters still brought their families from the south. How to arrange these people has become a headache for the public.

If Lu Ze is willing to take over at this time, it may be regarded as solving one of their troubles.

Walking towards the police station, a closed chain gradually formed in Lu Ze's mind, and he gradually settled down.

Looking around casually, the police station is close to the residential area. Most of them are at work at this time, and there are few pedestrians. There was only a middle-aged woman in plain clothes, hugging and coaxing a crying child.

Lu Ze paused on the child's clothes and shoes, thinking that it was a coincidence, wouldn't there be a certificate to enter the police station?

...

At

four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qingyan was waiting at the entrance of the state-run hotel on time, with a basket left in his hand, carrying some of the things he bought.

Putting the mutton and bones given by the restaurant staff at the bottom, and bought some more vegetables, Xu Qingyan looked around, but Lu Ze hadn't come yet.

There was a clock hanging in the state-run hotel, Xu Qingyan looked at it, it was already four o'clock, and it was the time they had agreed upon.

But Lu Ze hasn't come yet.

Uncle Zheng is usually very punctual, not more than ten minutes before and after. Xu Qingyan was a little anxious, watching the clock pass by every minute and every second, and his movements of looking around became more and more intense.

I missed Uncle Zheng's car, and he didn't ride a bicycle, so it would be inconvenient to go back.

The roar of the tractor was loud, and it was heard from a long distance away. Xu Qingyan looked up, it was Uncle Zheng.

The tractor stopped in front of him, and Uncle Zheng asked him, "Why didn't you see the Lu family kid? He's not going back to the village?" "Go back."

Xu Qingyan said, "He may be delayed by something, and it will take a while."

" Hey, then we can't wait for him, it's going to be dark if we go back later." Uncle Zheng said, Xu Qingyan wanted to say to wait another two minutes, and other villagers also said: "It's not here yet, maybe I'm not going back ...Boy Lu knows the way around the city, so it's not our turn to worry."

"By the way, when did Qingyan and the Lu family boy become so close?" Someone asked knowingly.

Xu Qingyan paused for a moment, then said: "I said a few words a few days ago, and I've gotten to know them slowly." "

Sure enough, there are still conversations between young people."

Xu Qingyan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Uncle Zheng has already started the tractor, but Lu Ze hasn't arrived yet.

He narrowed his eyelashes slightly, thinking that Lu Ze really didn't intend to go back, but unexpectedly, as soon as the tractor moved, two hands suddenly climbed up on the wall of the truck, and then Lu Ze stood up with his long legs, Just got into the bucket.

The tractor starts instantly.

Xu Qingyan's eyes lit up in an instant, and he moved towards him unconsciously: "You're here!"

Lu Ze met his bright eyes, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Take care of something It's a bit late."

Xu Qingyan was also happy, and felt that his reaction seemed a bit exaggerated, so he pursed his lips slightly, but his eyes still slightly swelled: "It's good to catch up, I thought you wouldn't go back." Lu

Ze Sitting down next to him, he heard the words and said: "Go back."

He met the child's eyes, thought for a while, and handed the bag in front of him: "Eat one."

Xu Qingyan looked down, it was wrapped in oil paper What I got were a few pieces of chicken cakes, which looked soft and fluffy when they came out of the pan, and I could still smell the aroma at the tip of my nose.

This kind of food is not cheap, Xu Qingyan wanted to refuse it, but Lu Ze had already picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth: "Try if it's delicious."

After eating someone's cake in the morning, he had to return it at night.

Xu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, still holding the chicken cake with both hands, and ate it in small bites.

Lu Ze glanced at him, the child's cheeks were bulging, and he ate carefully, for fear of dropping a little scum.

He took another look.

Then look away.
