Along the way, we can meet people from the village from time to time.

Lu Hao greeted warmly.

"Sanniang."

"uncle."

"Second mother-in-law."

Not unfamiliar at all, very enthusiastic.

It tastes very sweet.

After a while, we arrived at the old captain’s house.

The old captain had finished his meal and was sitting on a brick at the door, smoking a cigarette.

The cigarettes were the Chinese ones given to Lu Hao when he entered the village before.

I smoked it in small sips, smoked it, and held it in front of me to see why this cigarette was so expensive and how it was different from other cigarettes.

Seeing Lu Hao, the old captain immediately stood up and said, "Haozi is here? No, he is the boss now, so he should call him Boss Lu."

"You call me boss, and I still have to pay you wages. Old captain, you should call me Haozi, and help me save some money." Lu Hao erased some barriers without leaving a trace.

He smiled and handed over the things in his hands, "I brought you some cigarettes and wine, and a roast chicken. Xiao Min bought this roast chicken specially and said he would bring it back to the old captain to try."

Su Min actually didn't say that. Lu Hao said it just to show off the old captain's face.

The more people who read it, the greater the reputation will be.

Although the old captain is the captain of the production team, which belongs to the lowest level of the commune, brigade, and production team, he also manages many people and is responsible for the overall work of the production team.

However, after the communes were changed into towns, the production teams were changed into villager groups, and household contract responsibilities were implemented, the glory was no longer the same.

Those who have some power are most afraid of leisure and being forgotten.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The old captain smiled broadly.

He saw clearly the signs of cigarettes and wine in Lu Hao's hand, and was startled, "Just come here and chat, there is no need to bring such expensive things."

This tobacco and alcohol are not cheap!

The wine from Baiyunbian originally cost more than six yuan, but now it has increased to eight yuan a bottle. This is still the price in counties and cities closer to the place of production. The comprehensive rate will be higher for those farther away. Simply put, the cost is higher.

High, the retail price has to be raised accordingly, it can be sold for more than eight yuan!

The cigarettes are from China, and what's more, even the village chief doesn't smoke them.

Lu Hao brought two bottles of Baiyunbian and one of China!

"I've brought it all, how can I bring it back again?" Lu Hao put the things at the door and shouted inside, "Auntie, you put these things in and put them away. I bought the roast chicken in the morning and drove it for a few hours.

The train has been delayed for a long time, so I have to eat early."

The aunt Lu Hao called was the old captain's wife.

She brought a bowl of water over and asked, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

His voice was very low and a bit awkward, for fear that Lu Hao would dislike it, "I have washed the bowls and boiled the water and let it cool down."

There are not many things to do in rural areas to entertain guests.

A bowl of cold water is simple, but it represents etiquette.

Lu Hao took it directly and drank it all.

The aunt was very happy when she saw Lu Hao drank all the water without feeling disgusted at all.

Just now, she was hesitant to bring water to Lu Hao. There was nothing to entertain guests at home, not even tea, only a bowl of cold water. Although Lu Hao drove the car, he had been in the village for several years, but after all, he now had a registered permanent residence.

After arriving in the city and becoming a boss, what should I do if I feel rejected?

Unexpectedly, Lu Hao didn't dislike it at all, and looking at the way Lu Hao drank water, he seemed to be really thirsty. The cool white drink he brought out touched Lu Hao's mind and quenched his thirst.

What I fear most is that my kindness will be rejected by others, and it is such a relatively cheap kindness.

Lu Hao did not refuse or dislike him.

The old captain also saw it and sighed in his heart: Lu Hao went to the city and made some money, but his roots were still in the village.

The slight feeling of alienation disappeared just because Lu Hao drank this bowl of cold water.

He said to his wife, "Don't stand there stupidly, go and bring a stool for Haozi to sit on."

"Do you still need to mention it? I haven't seen Haozi for a long time. Can't I look more closely?" Auntie said to Lu Hao, "When you go to the city, you should come back often to see if there is anything you can help me with."

Just ask."

In terms of seniority, Lu Hao has to be called the old captain.

However, the title "Old Captain" should be better.

She went to the house and moved a small bench for Lu Hao, and then said to the old captain, "If Haozi needs help, please take the initiative. It's not easy for this kid to go to such a big city alone."

No one is stupid.

There must be something wrong with Lu Hao bringing such a valuable thing to his door.

The meaning is obvious, try your best to help.

If you give me respect, I will naturally give you respect. You don’t even need to ask, I will do it myself.

"What are your plans for returning to the village this time?" The old captain asked directly without knowing.

It was roast chicken, white clouds, and China. Lu Hao was so respectful to him and didn't take the initiative to help, which made him feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

"I have a plan. I need to build a new house for my family." Lu Hao nodded.

"Yes, you can afford it, but don't be jealous if you are too good." The old captain said, "There are still many people living in adobe houses in the village. The gap is too big, and there is a gap in people's hearts. The way they look at you will change.

Even if you earned this money with your own hard work, people will still be jealous and hate you."

The same statement as Lu Liexing.

This is really for Lu Hao.

"That's what my dad said." Lu Hao nodded, "Old captain, actually I have something else I want to do when I come back this time, but it's a bit difficult and I can't make up my mind. My dad asked me to come over and discuss it with you.

"

The hat was free, so Lu Hao put a tall hat on the old captain's head.

Lu Liexing didn't mention asking him to come over to discuss with the old captain. It was entirely Lu Hao's idea!

But what does it matter?

As long as your words can be useful to others.

"You said, although the production team is gone, I still have some face and can help you." The old captain was a little dazed by the praise.

On weekdays, the villagers are busy working in the fields. Even if they meet him, they just call him "Old Captain".

Can't say anything else.

Even Lu Sanfu was like this. I didn't show much respect to him when I met him. He was only polite to the village chief.

Lu Hao praised him very well.

"I want to take over Maqiao Lake." Lu Hao said.

"Do you want to raise fish like Lu Sanfu?" the old captain said, "This is not a big problem. There are still a few fish ponds in the village, but no one is contracting them. If you want to contract them, I will go and say hello to the village chief. It will definitely be fine.

.”

He listened to every word, but consciously thought that Lu Hao was talking about the ponds near Maqiao Lake.

"It's not a pond, it's Maqiao Lake." Lu Hao emphasized.

The old captain was stunned for a moment and looked at him, "Maqiao Lake? Do you want to contract a section?"

"Not a section, but the entire Maqiao Lake, more than two thousand acres of water, I want them all!" Lu Hao said again.

!!!

The cigarette in the old captain's mouth fell to the ground.

He immediately picked it up and put it back into his mouth, "You..."
Chapter completed!
