1987: Sleepless Tonight

"It's pretty smart, I figured it out so soon." Lu Hao lit a cigarette.

"That's for sure, I'm not stupid." Su Jin raised her chin.

The neck is like a swan.

"What else do you have to say now? You didn't believe me when I said that Lu Hao drove me here last time, should you believe it now?" Su Xingmin looked at Zhang Yongqiang, Wang Guizhi, and Su Yumei.

The three were surprised.

There are so many people in the beverage factory, only two or three people can drive, and none of them can drive. Unexpectedly, Lu Hao can.

"Lu Hao, how do you know how to drive a car?" Zhang Yongqiang asked, "I can't even drive, where did you learn it?"

He found that the gap between himself and Lu Hao was getting bigger and bigger, which made him a little panicked.

In the past, Lu Hao was always looking down, but now he has to look up, and even slightly upward.

Especially Su Xingmin's tone, with a half-showy attitude, made him feel even more sympathetic. They are both sons-in-law. Although Su Xingmin didn't make a special comparison, he would do it himself. Usually, he stepped on Lu Hao by himself, but now he doesn't Being overwhelmed by Lu Hao.

Lu Hao is still as cute as before.

"Didn't Dad tell you? I asked an old farmer to borrow a tractor, and it will work after a few drives." Lu Hao still came up with this reason.

"Who will believe this?" Zhang Yongqiang said in a loud voice, "A tractor has an armrest and no steering wheel, but a car has a steering wheel, and the ignition method is different. Driving a tractor will drive a car? How do you drive?"

"Tractors and cars are indeed different, but don't you have to master everything to do everything? Learn from one example and learn everything from one to another." Lu Hao continued to talk while smoking a cigarette.

When he said this, his face didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat.

It's true.

Zhang Yongqiang's heart was so blocked that he wanted to slap himself in the face. Lu Hao's answer was short of saying clearly that he was too stupid to draw inferences from one instance.

"Isn't it just driving a car? If my man concentrates on learning, he will definitely do it too. Don't be so complacent." Su Yumei was bitter and mean, but she protected her man. Seeing that Zhang Yongqiang had been beaten, she immediately attacked Lu Hao, " Are you fooling Dad into investing in the beverage factory business, and want to contract the sales of soda? You also want to go to the beverage factory with Dad right now?"

Lu Hao looked at her without speaking.

Not saying anything is the default.

He was too lazy to speak, because there must be no good words coming out of Su Yumei's mouth, nor ivory from a dog's mouth.

"Don't make a sound, is it a guilty conscience? Dad has already retired and is at home leisurely. After retirement, he can get a pension and live a comfortable retirement life. It's because you fooled him, but he has been going to the factory for the past few days. Running away, even sleeping in the factory for many nights, he was so emaciated, his body can't bear it, can you bear it if something happens?" Su Yumei scolded Lu Hao.

Lu Hao smiled.

This elder sister is so eloquent.

His silence was acquiescence, but the other party directly understood it as a guilty conscience.

He remembered that in his previous life, Su Yumei always complained that Su Xingmin retired early, what to do with so many children, if she was born, she would definitely be the leader of the beverage factory, life at home would be easier, and she would be able to enjoy the glory and earn more money .

Obviously wishing that the father-in-law would continue to work, but now he said that it is better to stay at home.

However, the old man has indeed been haggard these past few days, with heavy bags under his eyes, and he has worried a lot about his affairs.

He looked at the father-in-law, "Dad, you have really worked hard these few days, thank you for what you have done for me."

He really appreciates it.

Su Xingmin waved his hand, "Call me Dad, I shouldn't have done this? Thank you for what?"

After finishing speaking, Su Xingmin looked at Su Yumei again, "Don't blame Lu Hao, although I have been a little busy and tired these days and slept in the factory, but I am in good spirits, much more energetic than when I am free , People have to be active to be energetic."

He is very fulfilling, as if he has returned to the days when he was valued by the factory and trained as a key object.

Hongyuan Beverage Factory originally did not make beverages, nor was it called a beverage factory, but a popsicle factory. It existed in the 60s, and its target was the No. [-] Beverage Factory.

The No. [-] Beverage Factory also mainly produced popsicles in the early years, but because of the planned economy, the people it serves are specific and the market scope is relatively small. In order to let the residents near Hongyuan Beverage Factory also eat popsicles, there are summer foods to relieve the heat. , so Hongyuan popsicle factory was built.

Many beverage factories were built under such circumstances. Because they are all planned economies, the products in the factory are only supplied to a certain range of people. Others have no way to buy them. If they want to eat, they have to build another one.

There are so many beverage factories in Jiangcheng now, which is not unrelated to this.

It is said to be a plan, but in the end there are too many beverage factories. This is the contradiction between the micro and the macro. The micro is indeed a plan, which is beneficial to serve specific groups of people, but the macro has created so many beverage factories in Jiangcheng, which is a waste of resources.

"Lu Hao, although Dad is still protecting you, I still have to remind you that Dad is getting old and his business fails, and his old man's heart will not be able to bear it." Zhang Yongqiang said.

Lu Hao looked at him, "Are you cursing that my business will definitely fail? Don't play such small thoughts. If I say this business is fine, it will be fine."

He threw away the cigarette butt that burned to the filter and stepped on it.

Breathing out the last wisp of smoke from his mouth, he said to Su Xingmin, "Dad, let's go to the factory."

Su Xingmin nodded, took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand, stomped it out, and got into the car with Lu Hao.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the car started, and Lu Hao held the steering wheel with one hand, just like controlling a Ferrari with one hand in his previous life, turned around, left the community, and drove towards the beverage factory.

From behind, Zhang Yongqiang kept watching eagerly, and even ran out of the courtyard gate to look at the car that had gone away, but he didn't see the car break down or hit anything.

Lu Hao drove very steadily.

The car is smooth.

He was a little disappointed, Lu Hao really knew how to drive!

Wang Guizhi, Su Yumei, Su Jin, and Su Jiangang also ran out. Seeing the car with only one tail left, Wang Guizhi suddenly reminded, "Jiangang, you have to keep an eye on your dad, don't let him Take money from home, and that money is for you to marry a daughter-in-law."

"I can't see it." Su Jiangang shook his head and looked at Su Yumei solemnly, "Mom, let me ask you a question, am I really your biological child?"

"What bastard are you talking about?" Wang Guizhi patted him, "I just talked about your father, you are not our own, how else did you come here?"

"But I always feel like it's not his own. Why is Dad treating Lu Hao better than me? Now that we are so close to Lu Hao, they are more like father and son." Su Jiangang muttered.

He took off the cigarette clipped to his ear, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and looked at Zhang Yongqiang, "Brother-in-law, how can you be worse than Lu Hao? He already smoked Zhonghua. I saw that you still smoked the red golden dragon." ah?"
