Chapter 734 Strike First
New Year's Eve is the end of another year, and what Chinese people look forward to most this year is the Spring Festival.
Reunion and joy are the eternal themes.
This year, Lu Xia didn't come back, and Lu Chun had to stay on duty in the institute. As a big family like Lu Dong, during the New Year's Eve dinner, two people were suddenly missing.
But this year's New Year's atmosphere is better than last year when Lu Xia brought his daughter-in-law Yan Li back.
Because Lu Chun's daughter-in-law Fang Yan is pregnant.
Lu Dong's eldest aunt, Li Min, had just been checked and confirmed at the hospital after the new year. Lv Dong's aunt, Li Min, has been laughing from ear to ear all day recently. Even Lu Jianguo's always serious face is smiling all day long.
The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between Li Min and Fang Yan seemed to disappear without a trace.
At least until the baby is born.
During the meal, the eldest aunt and the old lady kept talking around Fang Yan. It was not easy for Lu Dong and Lu Jianguo to participate in this kind of topic. They chatted without saying a word while drinking.
Lu Dong's fifth grandfather, Lu Zhenfei, caught a bad cold during the winter, and retired to the second line in the construction company, and Lu Jianguo became the general manager of the construction company.
One month into 2003, Lujia Village completed integration, and Lujia Food Company, Lujia Village Construction Engineering Company and Lujia Village Tourism Culture Company were formally merged into Lujia Village Group.
Lu Jianguo also served as the vice president of the group.
Similarly, as the largest shareholder other than the village collective, Lu Dong, the deputy director of the village branch, also took the name of the vice president.
When the Lujiacun Group was established, it raised funds to finance the expansion of shares, and added two new shareholders, Qingzhao County Cultural Tourism Company and Quannan Commercial Bank.
However, the Lujia Village collective firmly holds more than 67% of the absolute controlling stake.
In this financing, Lu's Holdings also invested appropriately, maintaining 10% of the shares.
Last year, for the industry of Lujia Village, there were three most important things. First, the folk tourist area was officially put into operation; The third is that Lujia Food Company has really opened up the export market. Even if the exported products really enter Chinatowns in the West, the profits are still high.
In the past year, the industry in Lujia Village has developed at an extremely fast pace. With the New Year's dividend, an ordinary family of three with household registration in the village received a dividend of more than 200,000 yuan.
Although there is no clear statistics, the population of Lujia Village is not large, and the village is not too big. Many things can be seen at a glance. The proportion of families with cars may reach 80%.
"Dongzi!"
The muttering mothers over there suddenly interrupted the chat between Lu Dong and uncle, and the eldest aunt Li Min asked, "When do you and Xiao Song plan to get married?"
Lu Dong put down his chopsticks and said, "We haven't discussed this matter yet."
The eldest aunt said: "It's the age, you have to hurry up."
"We have to hurry up." Hu Chunlan also said the same: "You and Xiao Song's company is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more jobs. You have to finish the tasks that you can't finish in the future."
Obediently turned to Lu Dong, Fang Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "In the first half of the year, there are many things in the county, the village, and the company. How about the second half of the year?"
The aunt said: "Why don't you discuss it with Xiao Song and tell your parents over there to get the marriage certificate first?"
Hu Chunlan agreed with 120,000 points: "Yes, go and get the marriage certificate first! Such a good wife, where can I find her, don't lose it to me!"
Lu Dong said, "Okay, I'll ask Song Na first."
In fact, the two of them hadn't thought about this, otherwise they would have obtained their marriage certificate long ago when they were old enough.
The topic returned to Fang Yan, and girls and boys started discussing.
After Lu Dong and Lu Jianguo had dinner, they couldn't finish talking when they saw the three mothers, so they just came out.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the old and new villages of Lujia Village have been carefully decorated, and even the trees are covered with lights and colors. At this time, the trees and silver flowers are on fire, welcoming winter to spring.
Lujia Village will hold a fireworks show tonight on the open-air stage of the Old Village Customs Exhibition Hall. Thousands of people from the village, neighboring villages, and even those who came from the county town gathered in the old village.
At seven o'clock sharp, the fireworks flew into the sky, and blossoming fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Everyone in Lu's Village had happy smiles on their faces.
This year is different from previous years, because Lu Dong and Song Na were formally engaged. In the second year of junior high, according to Qingzhao's custom, Lu Dong was going to visit his father-in-law's house.
Song's father and Song's mother were not in good health, so they went back to the old village for a tour during the Chinese New Year, and stayed in the university town to spend the new year.
After packing the presents, Lu Dong drove out of the garage and Hu Chunlai stood at the gate and asked, "Have you brought everything?"
Lu Dong lowered the car window: "Take it, Mom, you go back, it's cold outside!"
Driving out of the village, he ran into Lu Kun, and Lu Dong stopped the car.
"Brother Dong." Lu Kun greeted.
Lu Dong asked, "I won't leave my relatives today."
Lu Kun laughed: "I don't have a father-in-law to leave..."
Lu Dong said: "You kid, hurry up and find one, your father has told me several times."
Lu Kun just laughed.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Lu Dong hurried to the University City.
In fact, Lu Kun is not difficult to find. There are so many companies in the Lu's Catering Building, and I don't know how many girls are staring at Lu Kun. This guy can receive gifts from girls every now and then.
There are many people who believe in love, but women with social experience will naturally be more practical.
When he was about to arrive at Wenyuan, a school, Lu Dong received a call from Song Na, asking him where he had been.
Lu Dong said something, and when he drove to the front of the building, Song Na was already waiting on the side of the road.
"It's so cold." Lu Dong said as soon as he got out of the car, "Don't wear more clothes, you need style instead of temperature!"
Song Na put on light makeup, wearing a winter skirt, black leggings underneath, a pair of pointed cowhide boots on her feet, and a short down and turtleneck sweater. She looks really good, but she's a little thin.
Lu Dong grabbed her hand, it was cold, and said to her: "I don't wear gloves, and I don't wear a long down jacket. It's a cold day. What do you think?"
Song Na was annoyed: "It's the New Year's Eve, the first time you see me in the New Year, you keep talking about me, why am I waiting here?"
No matter how stupid Lu Dong was, he understood that Song Na came here to show him what she was wearing, and said hastily, "The main reason is that you are so beautiful, and this outfit shows off your figure. I'm afraid you might be robbed."
"You can talk." Song Na went to the trunk, helped Lu Dong carry things, and went home together.
"By the way, my aunt's family of three also came here today." Song Na remembered: "They come every year on the second day of junior high school."
Lu Dong used to go here after the fifth day of the fifth day, but this was the first time he came here on the second day of the second day.
After entering the house, I wished Song's father and mother Song a New Year's greeting. Just after sitting down and talking for a while, Song Na's aunt and the others came.
Lu Dong has met them all, especially Xia Tian, who is quite familiar with them.
We got together and had a conversation, Dad Song and uncle went to the balcony to play chess, Mom Song and aunt were preparing dishes in the kitchen, and there were only three young ones left in the living room.
Song Na asked Xia Tian in a low voice: "Sister, aren't you going there?"
Xia Tian put her fingers up and booed her mouth. Seeing that there was no movement in the kitchen, she lowered her voice and said, "I haven't told my family about Wang Tao and me, so don't let it slip."
Song Na said, "Don't worry, I won't talk too much." She touched Lu Dong, "You too."
Lu Dong wondered why he was somehow involved.
Xia Tian's cell phone rang, and she ran to the bedroom to answer the phone. Song Na moved closer to Lu Dong, her voice lowered: "I forgot to remind you just now, my aunt and uncle may want us to help introduce someone, especially those from your Lu family village. You cope with..."
Lu Dong understood: "Okay."
Song Na said again: "You may not have experienced it personally. In your Lujia Village, regardless of men or women, young people of the right age are very sought-after!"
"I really don't know much about it." Lu Dong said with a smile, "I let you tie me up early in the morning."
Song Na smiled brightly: "This is what it means to strike first!"
Xia Tian came back from the phone call and saw the two couple whispering and biting their ears, so sweet that they were so sweet that they coughed on purpose.
Some words stopped on the lips, after all Lu Dong was here, she was embarrassed to make fun of Song Na.
Song Na straightened her face, seeing that everyone was busy, and asked, "Sister, Wang Tao raised a scorpion?"
"I've raised it!" Xia Tian said simply: "I built two sheds in my hometown. The technicians from the breeding company have been giving guidance and providing feed. It will soon be this summer before it can be released."
The scorpions were all raised, so Song Na naturally didn't want to say anything, she just asked a little bit, and more about Wang Tao and Xia Tian.
Lu Dong roughly listened. Xia Tian's family has two jobs, and they are both middle school teachers. Wang Tao's lack of a formal job is the biggest problem.
Being well-matched is sometimes not a deliberate pursuit, but a concept of life that has been formed for a long time.
Sure enough, during lunch, Xia Tian's mother, who is also Song Na's aunt, talked about her daughter's marriage. She didn't say how Lu Dong was like, nor did she name Lu's village, but asked Song Na and Lu Dong If you know someone who is suitable, you can help with introductions and the like.
Song Na and Lu Dong could only deal with it on the scene.
If Xia Tian didn't find a boyfriend, it wouldn't be difficult to find someone who was about the same age.
But it is impossible for Lu Dong and Song Na to know that Xia Tian has a boyfriend and introduce them to others indiscriminately.
After eating and talking, Xia Tian's family left, and Lu Dong was not in a hurry to go back, so Song Na simply took him out for a walk, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for a few days.
Turning around, they turned to the house in the south. The two of them were not generally energetic, but of course they couldn't help it, and the storm was inevitable.
After it was over, she lay in Lu Dong's arms, and after a long time she came to her senses, Song Na said, "Why did I believe in your ghost, and came here with you, it's a Chinese New Year, it's a joke."
Lu Dong plausibly said: "We are both engaged, it's only natural, okay?"
Song Na pinched him, but she was reluctant to use force: "Too lazy to talk about you!"
Lu Dong hugged her tightly, kissed her hard on the forehead, and said, "Why don't we go get the marriage certificate when we have time?"
"Wait." Song Na obviously had an idea: "I have to pick a memorable day."
Lu Dong has always respected Song Na's opinion on such matters: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
