Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 8 Two Brothers ()

On the beach of the South China Sea, a figure was running back and forth on the white sandy beach. He was standing straight, with his hands clenched into fists, and running forward step by step. The soft sand seemed to bring great resistance to the figure, and every step was extremely difficult. If you look closely, you will find that the figure has two "sandbags" made of cloth tied to his legs.

The figure running on the beach was Lu Shaohua, who was only 7 years old. Since he decided to strengthen his physical fitness, he came to the quiet beach every day before the sun rose. No one would disturb him here, and he could only occasionally hear the cries of seagulls and the crash of waves.

Lu Shaohua has been running with weights for more than ten days. During these ten days, no matter it was windy or rainy, he insisted on getting up before five o'clock every day. After arriving at the beach, he chose a relatively clean beach to run back and forth. When the sun was high, he went home to eat breakfast. Although he only exercised for less than ten days, the effect was still very good. He became much more energetic, and his skin became darker under the scorching sun, giving people the feeling of "health". If you take off his pants, you will find that his legs are very strong, without any fat, and can be regarded as strong.

"Huh." Lu Shaohua stopped and exhaled, wiping the sweat off his head with his hands. His whole body was emitting heat, and suddenly a gust of sea breeze blew, which was unusually comfortable. "Let's stop here today, and go back."

……

As soon as he arrived at the door, Lu Shaohua found a few pairs of leather shoes in front of the door. He knew that guests were coming, because in the countryside in 85, people only wore shoes when they went to visit guests or came home from outside, otherwise they would only wear slippers. When he walked into the living room, he saw that his father and uncle were still there, and there were two men who looked familiar but strange sitting on the chairs. Lu Shaohua tried hard to recall who those two faces were.

"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle," Lu Shaohua suddenly seemed to remember something and called out naturally.

"Haha, the little prodigy is back, come here and let your uncle hug you." The speaker was Lu Shaohua's third uncle - Lu Jiahui. In fact, Lu Jiayao had five brothers. Lu Jiayao was the eldest in the family. The second brother starved to death when he was young due to poverty. The third brother was Lu Jiahui, the fourth was Lu Jiacheng, and the fifth was Lu Chang. Because Lu Jiahui's family was poor, he did not go to school since he was a child. He went out to work at the age of 18. Now Lu Jiahui is 27 years old and has not married yet.

According to his past life memories, Lu Jiahui waited until he was 30 to get married. After marriage, his wife was infertile, so he had no choice but to adopt a boy. After marriage, Lu Jiahui took his wife to Shenzhen to do business, but because he was uneducated and rude, he ended up doing a small business and had only a small amount of savings by the 21st century.

As for Lu Jiacheng, he graduated from high school but failed to get into university, so he went out to work. He is usually not talkative and has a calm personality. In the end, he followed Lu Jiahui to Shenzhen to do some "small business".

Lu Shaohua sat down on Lu Jiahui's lap obediently, thinking secretly in his heart: "Since I have been reborn, I have to make a complete change in my family. I can't let them do some small business like in my previous life. But now he hasn't developed yet, how can I make my family completely wealthy?"

"What should I do?" This question lingered in Lu Shaohua's mind, but he still couldn't think of a good solution. "Forget it, let's ask them not to go out to work, but to help manage the dozen acres of litchi at home." With a plan in mind, Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes and asked, "Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, why did you go home so early? There are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival."

"Oh," Lu Jiahui sighed first, then said: "Your third uncle and fourth uncle are not going there, there is no future there, so they took advantage of the New Year to go home early to see if there are any connections at home. As soon as I got home, I heard that everyone in the village is saying that you are a 'genius', so what do you think? Do you, a 'genius', have any connections to recommend?" Lu Jiahui said to Lu Shaohui who was sitting on his lap in a half-joking tone.

In fact, in 85, both Lu Jiahui and Lu Jiacheng went to work in a factory, but the wages were not high. In addition, they both smoked, so they could not save any money. So they returned home to see if there were any other ways out.

"Then don't go out. Our family has contracted more than ten acres of land to grow lychees. We will have a good harvest in a couple of years. We will be too busy by then." Lu Shaohua was just thinking about how to convince the two of them to stay at home and help. Now that there is such a good opportunity, of course he has to climb up the pole.

At this time, Lu Jiayao also said, "Yes, don't go out. You won't make much money if you go. Help out at home. Your sister-in-law and I are too busy to handle it."

It would be a lie to say that they were not tempted when Lu Shaohua asked them to stay. After all, it is not easy for them to work outside and be strictly controlled. It is different at home. When the work is tight, they do more and it is not a small amount. It doesn't matter whether they work fast or slow. The most important thing is "freedom".

But now that Lu Jiayao, the eldest brother, has spoken, and he has some weight, they can't stay even if they don't want to, not to mention that they don't have any way out now. The two thought for a while, and almost at the same time, they answered in unison; "Okay."

The two agreed, and Lu Shaohua was just a little happy. In fact, Lu Shaohua had another purpose for asking them to stay. That was to wait for the lychees to mature this year, and then buy other people's lychees and sell them in Shenzhen. This way, he could test the market. If the market was good, he would wait for his own lychees to have a good harvest in two years, and then sell them in Shenzhen. The price of selling in Shenzhen was not the same as the price of selling at home. After all, it was one of the five special economic zones in China. Although the special economic zone was established only five years ago, the economy there was completely incomparable to Lu Shaohua's small village, not to mention the people's consumption level.

According to Lu Shaohua's estimation, if it is sold directly in the village, it is estimated that one catty is only between four and five yuan, but if it is transported to the special economic zone, it is normal for the price to double. Lu Shaohua kept on thinking: "If one catty is ten yuan, ten catties will be one hundred yuan, one hundred catties will be one thousand yuan, and one thousand catties will be ten thousand yuan, ah!..."

After calculating for a while, Lu Shaohua didn't dare to continue calculating, because the money was not just a hundred or two hundred dollars, but ten times more. But then he thought: "It seems that their family has no connections in Shenzhen. If I rashly take the lychees down and can't sell them, the lychees will rot in an instant, and I will lose all my money."

After thinking about it, he found that he didn't have any relatives in Shenzhen, so he gave up. "Well, things will work out when the time comes."
