In the early morning of the next day, every household in Lujiapu Village was busy, because today was the New Year's Eve, and they all had to eat New Year's Eve dinner, and many people did not choose to have it at night, but also had a lot to eat at noon.
.
Therefore, in the ancestral hall of Lujiapu Village, after a while, firecrackers will continue to explode. This is the custom of having New Year's dinner. Before that, people go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, set off firecrackers, burn paper money, and offer incense!
At Lu Luxuan's house, Li Ruotong and Zhang Yufei were helping their future mother-in-law wash and cut vegetables, and the three women were busy in a play, talking and laughing.
At noon, Lu Xuan got up from the bed. He hadn't had such a lazy sleep for a long time. After washing up, he saw the big stars Li Ruotong and Zhang Yufei helping his mother prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and he immediately showed a smile.
"Lu Xuan, have you slept?" At this time, Lu Feng happened to come back from outside and saw Lu Xuan standing in the living room and asked with a smile.
Lu Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Well, sleep well. Dad, where were you just now?"
"Oh, I bought a pair of candles for use in the ancestral hall," Lu Feng said, pointing to the two long and tall candles placed at the door.
Lu Feng said again: "Lu Xuan, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you let your mother make something for you to eat?"
"I went to the village to buy some food. I heard that Aunt Wang's cold noodle stall is closed in the afternoon. I just don't know if she will be out on New Year's Eve this year," Lu Xuan said seriously.
Lu Feng nodded and said: "It seems to have come out. Go and have a look. If there is nothing to eat, come back and get something to eat."
"Well, okay, I just want to go out for a walk," Lu Xuan said with a smile, and then walked out of the house——
At the eastern end of Lujiapu Village, Aunt Wang's cold noodles are open here, and Aunt Wang used her family's house to create a small storefront, selling cold noodles all year round.
When Lu Xuan came here, he sat down on the small bench and shouted: "Second Aunt Wang, bring me a bowl of cold noodles!"
"Okay!" Second Aunt Wang saw Lu Xuan coming and said with a smile. Soon, a bowl of cold noodles was brought.
Since today is New Year's Eve, every household is busy, and it is still noon, and there is only one customer, Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, you are really promising now. You are the richest in the whole village," Aunt Wang said with a sigh.
"Where," Lu Xuan said with a dry smile while eating noodles, "I'm lucky, I just made a little fortune."
Second Aunt Wang shook her head and said: "Now our village is really getting worse and worse?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Xuan asked. After all, Lu Xuan rarely returned to the village. If he hadn't come here often to eat cold noodles when he was a child, Lu Xuan might not even remember Aunt Wang.
Second Aunt Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Our village is too remote and does not have any conditions for development. All the young girls and boys have gone out. Only the old, weak, women and children are at home, especially those little children without grandparents.
It's pitiful that they have become left-behind children who cook and wash their own clothes."
Hearing such words, Lu Xuan's heart tightened. Lujiapu Village is really too poor now. If his father hadn't been a wounded soldier in the army and retired, and he had a pretty good national allowance every month, it would be difficult for him to survive.
.
Lujiapu Village is where Lu Xuan was born and raised, and it is his hometown. Of course he has strong feelings for it, and it is time to use his own abilities to develop Lujiapu Village.
But - what can Lujiapu Village develop? Liuzi's hometown, Feijia Village, has mountain springs that irrigate farmland, and can develop vegetable economic ideas. However, Lujiapu Village seems to have no development. There is no village ahead and no future.
There is only a huge barren mountain to the east of the store, and the howling of wolves can often be heard.
Yesterday, I chatted with some young playmates and learned that they are not doing well. It seems that only Lu Xuan has made a fortune, while the others are barely surviving.
"Well, it's time to think of a way to develop our village," Lu Xuan said thoughtfully.
"Lu Xuan, you come here to eat noodles too!" A hearty laughter came. Lu Xuan looked over and said with a smile: "Dayou, when did you come back!"
Lu Dayou, Lu Xuan’s best friend when he was a child. The last time Lu Xuan came back, he went to find Lu Xuan himself. The memory is still vivid!
Yesterday, Lu Xuan went to the village to wander around, but he didn't see Lu Dayou. He thought that Lu Dayou would not come back to celebrate the New Year, but he didn't expect to meet him while eating cold noodles here.
"I just came back this morning," Lu Dayou sat down next to Lu Xuan and said again: "Second Aunt Wang, give me a bowl of cold noodles too!"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "How is your canteen business doing now?"
Hearing Lu Xuan's question, Lu Dayou shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to do business now. I can't make much money a day. My parents are not in good health. I don't feel comfortable leaving them at home, so I put down the facade."
It’s been sublet, so I can’t do anything anymore.”
At this time, Lu Dayou said with envy again: "Lu Xuan, I heard from the villagers that you have bought a luxury car again and brought back two wives. You can do it!"
"It's not bad," Lu Xuan said with a dry laugh.
Although having two wives is a bit shocking, Lu Xuan is handsome, rich, and has a good character. Marrying two wives makes Lu Dayou feel normal in his heart. Lu Xuan is not a bad person to the old man.
But what about the tall, rich and handsome people from the rich generation?
Lu Dayou also came back. It seemed that it was really necessary to help a group of people in Lujiapu Village. Lu Xuan sighed in his heart, but Lu Dayou asked in a low voice: "Where was your girlfriend last time?"
That girlfriend from last time - Lu Xuan certainly knew who he was talking about, Ning Wanxi, that beautiful CEO wife!
Lu Dayou was so impressed by Ning Wanxi. Her frosty appearance was like that of a nine-day fairy. Her spotless, elegant and refined appearance made Lu Dayou envious to death.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly and didn't know how to explain it. Lu Dayou was a very good at observing people's emotions. Seeing Lu Xuan's inexplicable gloomy look appeared between his eyebrows, he quickly laughed and said: "
Lu Xuan, forget it if you don’t want to say anything, I just like to ask questions here and there.”
"Yeah!" Lu Xuan nodded and changed the topic: "Dayou, what are you going to do now?"
Lu Dayou said sternly: "I'm going to the construction site in the town to move bricks for someone. I'll do some physical work. I'll pay you every day, and I'll make money quickly."
Even though he knew that Lu Xuan was very rich now, Lu Dayou did not ask Lu Xuan for help——
