Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

The next morning, after breakfast, the group headed straight back home...

Since he has a car now, Lu Hai doesn't plan to take the train back...

After all, although taking the train is slightly faster, you still have to transfer back to the county, and then you have to rush a long way to get back to the village...

Moreover, there are all these bags of New Year's goods from Kyoto, which makes it inconvenient to walk...

So, it’s better to just drive back.

Anyway, it will take about ten hours to get there. It won't be a big problem if we take turns driving by land and sea...

So, on the highway outside Kyoto, two cars sped off into the distance early in the morning...

Because it was snowing, everything was white when I looked out from the car...

During this journey, although it was freezing cold outside, except for Lu Hai, everyone else was very excited...

Because compared to before, each of them is now completely different from before...

After following Lu Hai, which one of them is not earning hundreds of dollars a month now?

Now I guess they wouldn't be willing to trade it even if you offered them a stable job...

Why?

Can the money earned from a stable job be as much as that earned by land and sea?

Can you drive the car now?

Even if people in the unit can drive a car for travel, don’t forget that the car is public!

Everyone in the unit can drive one, but what about their two cars now?

It's theirs!

Can this mean the same thing?

When we return to the village, we will tell others that this car was bought with the money we earned!

Who wouldn't praise it?

Just under 100,000 bucks!

How could those who had dreamed of returning home in glory since childhood not be excited?

Besides, it’s better to go out to the city and make a living than to stay in this mountain village, right?

At least there is hope in the life when I go to the city!

After driving for nearly ten hours, the car finally drove into the village...

Because now his father-in-law and mother-in-law have been taken in by Lu Hai, and he has built a new house for them next to his own house, so Jiang Wenbai doesn't have to go back, he can just go back with Lu Hai...

Therefore, Luo Yongfeng and Lai Anbang left in a car, while Lu Hai took Jiang Wenbai back to his village...

However, when I first arrived at the entrance of the village, it was the off-season, so most of the villagers were chatting at the entrance...

Moreover, because it is close to the Chinese New Year, the factory workers in these cities have also returned...

These people are different from the older people in the village...

Because Western elements are beginning to be integrated into China, many young people have more avant-garde ideas. For example, although the style of clothes is ordinary, the color is very bold...

The clothes worn by older people are white, gray, and white.

This kind of color collision can really attract other people's attention...

And this may also be a feature of 'reform and opening up'...

The people who were chatting heard the sound of a car and immediately looked over...

Not to mention the 80s, even at the beginning of the millennium, in many rural or remote areas, if you could drive a car back home to celebrate the New Year, you would be considered very capable in the eyes of outsiders...

"Oh, Haizi, you've achieved so much! It's only been a short time, and you can already drive a car."

"I've always thought Haizi has a bright future!"

"Bah, you were the most aggressive one among those who followed Li Chunlan to scold Lu Hai."

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ever curse Haizi?"

"..."

Everyone complimented Lu Hai...

Lu Hai didn't care about these words, and didn't take them to heart...

After all, people are always looking for profit, and since they are now rich, they all have a good attitude...

But if you are down and out, then look at it again?

So Lu Hai just smiled at these people...

"Dear uncles and aunts, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first and won't chat with you anymore." Lu Hai apologized.

After saying that, he took out a handful of candy from the car and handed it to everyone...

Seeing that Lu Hai was the best, everyone was naturally happy and smiling...

After all, sugar is a rare thing. The last time most of them ate it was when they held a wedding banquet at Lu Hai’s new home more than half a year ago!

"Okay, okay, you go back first."

"..."

Afterwards, Lu Hai didn't hesitate to step on the accelerator, and the car slowly drove towards home...

After Lu Hai left, the young man who had returned from the city finally spoke.

"Tsk, what are you so proud of? Isn't it just luck that made you a little rich? Weren't you a second-rate person before?"

Young people tend to be more jealous, so everyone understands. Moreover, he was bullied by Lu Hai before, just like Lu Zhiyong. In addition, his parents now rely on Lu Hai to live a good life in the village. Seeing that his peers are better than him, he is jealous. Everyone understands...

But, do you have the guts to say that in front of Lu Hai?

But these are just a bunch of people who just want to watch the fun and add fuel to the fire.

"What a talented person! You know what! Ren Haizi is really doing well now. Look at the village, who doesn't help Lu Hai? After the Chinese New Year, I guess everyone will get a few hundred yuan from this farm!"

"That's right. Seeing that you are so unconvinced, if you have the ability, you can drive a car back and give candy to us guys, too?"

"..."

The young man's mentality was not very stable, and he was already resentful that Lu Hai was able to get ahead...

After all, who in the surrounding area doesn’t know what Lu Hai was like in the past few years?

Who would look up to someone who is lazy and likes to eat and does nothing but run out to fool around every day without working?

Didn’t you see that even when he was getting married, he had to ask a matchmaker to go to the other side of the county to find Jiang Lanqing as his wife?

It was already jealous enough to see Lu Hai, a second-rate guy who was looked down upon by everyone in the village, marry Jiang Lanqing, such a virtuous and beautiful wife...

However, after going to the city to work as a worker, these young people were fine with not seeing them, and they thought that after returning from the New Year, they could use their worker status to humiliate Lu Hai...

But who would have thought that within half a year, he would build a new house, open a breeding farm, and invest tens of thousands of yuan in the village...

Now he is driving a car back to celebrate the New Year. How can they accept this?

Perhaps this is what they call using force but failing to achieve the desired result?

Although he knew that what they said was true, the young man naturally refused to admit defeat easily. How could he just throw away his face?

So, he said stubbornly:

"For someone like him, what else can he be but lucky? If you ask me, Brother Xiu Jie is the real deal. I heard that he is now the boss! He has seven or eight people under him. It's just that the policy doesn't allow it, otherwise he would have more people!"

The villagers love to hear gossip the most, especially all kinds of rumors. They don't know where they heard it from. When they heard what Lu Caijun said, they immediately became interested.

"Xiu Jie? I heard that he went to Kyoto two years ago, but he hasn't come back for two years. From what you said, are they related?"

When Lu Caijun heard this, his vanity suddenly arose, "Of course I did. I have communicated with Brother Xiujie in a letter."

"Wow!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. "What is he doing now? He hasn't been back for two years. He must have made a lot of money, right?"

"I heard that he is now doing some kind of clothing wholesale business in Kyoto. All the ready-made clothes in his clothing store are purchased from Brother Xiujie!" Lu Caijun said proudly.

If I don't tell you, people will probably think he's the one running this business...

However, it sounds like Lu Xiujie is much more promising than Lu Hai.

"Oh, is this true? I went to the city a while ago to check out the prices of ready-made clothes. Do you know how expensive they are?"

"How expensive?"

"I asked around then, and a set of ready-made clothes would cost at least ten yuan! And that's the normal price. Now during the Chinese New Year, it would probably cost twelve or thirteen yuan!"

"Hiss~" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, "Twelve or thirteen yuan for a set of clothes? How much cloth can you buy with this? Wasn't Lu Hai wearing ready-made clothes before? Why is this thing so expensive?"

"Isn't that so? What do you think?"

When everyone heard the news, it was as if their eyes had been opened. However, only now did some people react.

"Then why is Xiujie doing clothing wholesale? Shouldn't he make more money?"

Lu Caijun nodded and said, "Isn't that right? So, it's true that Lu Hai made money, but I think Brother Xiu Jie is much more awesome than Lu Hai."

"Also, I think this Lu Hai's car was probably borrowed from someone else. Didn't he say before that he met a friend working in the company? I guess he borrowed it specifically to show off."

After hearing what Lu Caijun said, everyone seemed to remember.

There had indeed been a few times before when cars had driven into the village to look for Lu Hai.

"Now that you put it that way, it does seem to be the case..." everyone immediately agreed.

"Yeah, otherwise I would say that Lu Hai's little finger is just showing off." Lu Caijun said disdainfully.

"Okay, you guys are still criticizing Hai Boy? He has helped the village so much, so it can't be wrong, right?"

At this time, some people who thought highly of Lu Hai objected.

"Tsk, isn't it just to make money that he helps the villagers? If there is no money to be made, do you think he will help?" Lu Caijun retorted.

"If you ask me, if Brother Xiujie knew about this, he would probably just give money to everyone. As for someone like Lu Hai who is so stingy? He still needs everyone to work for him to get money?"

When everyone heard this, they didn't know how to refute it...

But at this moment, the loud speaker in the village suddenly sounded.

"Everyone, please pay attention. Xiujie's tire is stuck in the field. Everyone, please help."

"After carrying it up, Xiujie will give out cigarettes and candies to everyone!"

"..."
