0106 Health Campaign
One night passed, and the next day happened to be Sunday.
After Lu Weidong had breakfast, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui came over.
"Weidong! Our street office has issued a notice that the government will launch the first phase of the patriotic health campaign in summer, requiring each household to provide a manpower to clean the streets. Our compound was assigned to the Laodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative
I went to the street to clean up this section of the alley. I calculated that one person has to clear about fifty meters of the road, which is not an easy task."
The second uncle shook his cattail leaf fan in his bangs and complained.
"This... second uncle, what do you mean?" Lu Weidong asked suspiciously.
What's the use of complaining to him?
He is not the person in charge of the sub-district office.
"I'm not thinking about it, there must be brave men under the big reward! Let's spend some money, buy some soda and popsicles, and distribute them to the participants! Otherwise, when the time comes, everyone will not work hard, and we will be criticized by the leaders." Xu Fugui.
Be the first to explain.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong on the side nodded, "I agree with Lao Xu's opinion, but who of us will pay? We can't let everyone in the compound donate, right? Wouldn't this demoralize everyone!"
Lu Weidong understood, he frowned and said: "Did you come here and ask me to pay?"
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, smiled hurriedly and said: "Weidong, you underestimate the second uncle, right? Lao Xu and I will pay for it."
"In that case, second uncle, what do you mean...?"
"Lao Xu and I thought about it, we have to take care of the food at noon! So, we have to worry about cooking, Wei Dong!" the second uncle Liu Haizhong said with a smile.
"Cooking? Want some noodles?" Lu Weidong looked at Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui and immediately understood what they meant.
Maybe the two of them also heard about it and thought they wanted to try the authentic pasta made by Lu Weidong.
Unfortunately, the two of them didn't know that authentic pasta is a bit too expensive.
If you tell me this, I’m afraid everyone will be reluctant to eat it!
"Yeah!" Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui said in unison.
"No problem! However, there are two types: the simple version and the authentic version. The former is simple and cheap, while the latter is very expensive. A bowl of noodles costs at least five yuan." Lu Weidong said casually.
"What? Five yuan?" Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui suspected that they heard wrongly, and their eyes widened.
"Yeah! Five yuan! For the sake of my neighbors, I calculated this based on the price of the raw materials. Others were not taken into account." Lu Weidong smiled.
"Come on! Wei Dong, do you want to steal money?" The second uncle Liu Haizhong was a little unhappy.
"Haha! Ask Lao Xu, what price did I charge for the job?" Lu Weidong looked at his bangs and smiled without saying a word.
Liu Haizhong had no choice but to look at Xu Fugui. It was Xu Fugui who came up with this idea!
Xu Fugui hesitated and whispered a few words into Liu Haizhong's ear.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong opened his eyes wide, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
He murmured to himself: "Ma Dan! It's so easy to make money here! No wonder Wei Dong came back very late!"
Liu Haizhong really wants to be alone and quiet for a while.
He now doubts whether he, a level seven blacksmith, is too bad!
Look at Lu Weidong, he only knows two unique skills, and his income has already exceeded his salary.
Damn it!
He also wanted to make some money for his personal life, but unfortunately, no one came to ask for help!
Only those disciples come to bring some gifts during the New Year and holidays.
"Haha! What are you thinking about? You don't get this kind of opportunity once a month!" Lu Weidong said coldly.
"That's right! There are still many poor people in the world!" Xu Fugui sighed.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong came back to his senses. He nodded and said to Lu Weidong: "Let's make a simple version. The deaf old lady is a five-guarantee household, so she doesn't need to participate. There are twenty-six of us in total. You can calculate it with your computer.
How much does it cost? Lao Xu told me, and his family will come forward."
"As long as you have noodles! Twenty-six people, twenty-six bowls, about ten kilograms of noodles. Of course, white noodles are best. There are also pork, mushrooms, tofu, radishes, cucumbers, etc., which cost about three yuan. As for other spices
, Count it on me." Lu Weidong smiled.
"Come on! Let's arrange it like this." Second uncle Liu Haizhong took out three yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lu Weidong.
"I'm going to get the white noodles." Xu Fugui hurried away, and when he returned, he had a small half bag of white noodles in his hand.
Soon, the second uncle Liu Haizhong called everyone in the compound to a meeting.
He announced the instructions of the sub-district office, requiring each household to provide a manpower.
When everyone heard that lunch was in charge, free popsicle sodas were given out.
Suddenly, everyone was rushing to sign up.
"The boss of your family has signed up, you are late!"
"Shit! I am the head of the household, and the boss signed up to count the shit!"
"Master Liu, how old is your boss? Stop joining in the fun! Leave it to the children!"
"Nonsense! Isn't it just cleaning up the alley? I am most familiar with this matter. I was verbally commended by the leader back then."......
There was a commotion at the table, and everyone was worried that they would not be able to choose.
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "There is only one person in each household, who dares to make trouble? Everyone, be quiet! Don't blame me for not wanting it."
Now, Liu Haizhong was becoming more and more powerful, and his words made the surrounding area suddenly quiet.
"Ahem, now Lu Weidong is cooking lunch for everyone, which can be regarded as a labor force. However, there is one less spot for the cleanup staff. Now we have to choose one more person. Who will participate?" Liu Haizhong counted the applicants and shouted down.
"Me! Me!..." The four young men, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiefang, and Liu Guangtian, immediately started fighting.
The others immediately became quiet.
The second uncle scratched the back of his head with bangs, and he was a little puzzled.
How come your own children are interested?
In the past, they could hide as far away from such excitement as possible.
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, suddenly hesitated.
If he chose his own child, wouldn't this be true?
This will damage his current prestige!
If you choose a child from Lao Yan’s family, doesn’t this mean that you are in the wrong?
To compensate Lao Yan?
No! How could you blame him for what happened in the first place!…….
In an instant, the second uncle Liu Haizhong fell into a state of war between heaven and man, and he could not make a decision for a long time.
Silly Zhu immediately shouted: "Second uncle, are you mute? Who among the four of them will go? Or choose someone else. You should tell the truth."
"Yes! I support the solution."
"Yes! I support Guangfu."...... Several half-year-old children shouted, with naughty faces, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.
"Silly Zhu! You...you..." The second uncle Liu Haizhong was interrupted by Silly Zhu's words, which made the second uncle very angry at Silly Zhu.
It’s all Si Zhu’s fault! Just now I almost came up with a way to get the best of both worlds!
As soon as I was interrupted by Silly Zhu, I forgot about it!
Silly Zhu is so hateful!…….
"Ahem! Second uncle, don't be stunned! Since the four of them are the most active, let all four of them participate. It's just four more bowls of noodles! I'm out." Lu Weidong suddenly said.
Lu Weidong originally wanted to add more soup, but then he felt bad and omitted the next words.
"Uh! Okay! Okay! Wei Dong's brain is quick! This is a good idea! Now, I announce that all four of them, Xie Cheng, Xie Kuang, Guang Fu, and Guang Tian, will participate. Which is the most difficult part! The four of them will support.
Chapter completed!
