Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 74 Eight-foot Man
The three of them came quickly and left even faster.

Before Lu Feng could figure out what had happened and why they were suddenly targeting him, the three of them had already gotten into the car and sped away.

They didn't say it explicitly, but from their tone and expression, it was clear that they were here to put pressure on Lu Feng.

"Afeng, let's just forget it and stop making such a fuss." Lu Xiangnan was very worried. Especially as an honest man, after seeing the aura of the three people just now, it was obvious that they were not here to simply give a reminder.

However, Lu Feng couldn't figure it out at all, as it was full of contradictions.

The family continued to worship their ancestors. Lu Feng knelt and kowtowed. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He stood up and said, "Dad, do you have Zhou Laosi's phone number?"

Lu Xiangnan didn't know what his son was going to do, so he opened the phone and handed it to him.

Lu Tong dialed the number directly, and soon Zhou Laosi's voice was heard.

"Brother Nan...Oh, it's Afeng, what's the matter?"

Lu Feng recounted what had just happened.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Laosi was silent for a long time, and finally he sighed and said, "Ah Feng, I'll tell you the truth, I was also forced to withdraw, don't feel wronged, just don't take it seriously."

Sure enough, there is something fishy!
"Uncle Zhou, what exactly happened?" Lu Feng asked.

Zhou Laosi smiled helplessly: "This year, even if I go, I will just be there to bid for the event. It's meaningless."

Lu Feng asked a few more questions, but Zhou Laosi only responded with one sentence in the end.

"That's all I can say. You'll know on the eighth day of the new year."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng was silent for a long time.

Judging from Zhou Laosi’s reaction, it is a foregone conclusion that there is something fishy about this year’s bidding, but what exactly is it?
Zhou Laosi obviously knew it, but he didn't dare to say more.

Lu Feng did not expect that a village project would become so complicated.

After hurriedly paying his respects to his grandfather, Lu Feng returned home but still couldn't figure out what was going on. He simply ignored it and walked straight to the village cultural square.

In the new countryside of the new era, the village has been bustling for four consecutive days from New Year’s Eve to the third day of the New Year.

In addition to a variety of programs, the most popular among young people are of course the fireworks show and the food festival.

It's called a food festival, but in fact it's just a few dozen temporary stalls around the cultural square to generate income. But based on the experience of previous years, it's still a success.

When Lu Feng was in school, he would definitely watch shows with his classmates from the same village on New Year’s Eve and party all night long.

"Fatty, are you home yet? Do you want to come to the square to watch the show?"

"Ah Bing, have you come to the square for a stroll?"

Along the way, Lu Feng sent messages to seven or eight friends with whom he used to play basketball, but received very few replies.

The world of poor students is mostly filled with people hanging out together.

For students like them who are unable to go to college, leaving the village and going to major cities to find a job is the most basic thing.

Except for the two people who replied that they were watching the show in the square, the other two who came back have already started visiting relatives.

"Lü Feng, here!"

As soon as he arrived at the square, two classmates who stood out from the crowd were already waving to him.

In a small southern county where the average height of men is no more than 170CM, these two main players of the high school basketball team are much taller.

In other words, the dozen or so people were the tallest group in the whole grade.

Lu Feng forgot all his worries for a moment and quickened his pace.

"Sure, Lv Feng." A big guy who was over 1.9 meters tall slapped Lv Feng on the shoulder. "There are rumors about you everywhere in the village now. You are a famous person." "What the hell, a famous person? Do you know how to use the word? Now we call it a celebrity." Another guy who was about the same height as Lv Feng but also had a muscular body glared at him.

Lu Feng was completely speechless at these two guys whose grades were worse than his.

"Forget about this kind of popularity. I guess there are more people making sarcastic remarks, right?" Lu Feng said with a smile.

The tall Wu Xin laughed: "Being black and red is also red. It's rare for a bunch of us scum to have a celebrity. It can be considered a blessing from Mazu."

Liu Chang, who was standing next to him, liked to contradict him the most. He laughed and said, "Your mother burns incense and prays to Buddha every day, but why doesn't Mazu bless you?"

"Brother, Buddha and Mazu are two different systems. Do you understand? You are illiterate!" Wu Xin quickly retorted.

Lu Feng knew that if they continued to argue, there would be no end to it, so he quickly interrupted them and said, "I saw in the class group that most people have returned, right? How come no one seems to be organizing it?"

"What's the point of organizing something? Only bachelors like us have some freedom. Those of us who have a little financial resources have children that are about to be born." Wu Xin laughed.

"Oh my god, this efficiency is too high. We have only graduated for more than half a year." Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"What? Are you single too?" Wu Xin asked with a smile.

"Long live singleness!" Lu Feng laughed.

The two of them laughed as well, but it was obvious that their laughter had become somewhat teasing.

"How about the two of us just mess around with you?" Wu Xin suggested.

Liu Chang nodded: "Yeah. The electronics factory is so fucking depressing. I'm a man of eight feet tall, but I only get two thousand two hundred a month. It's really embarrassing to tell others about it."

"My brother also works in an electronics factory. At least he brought a girlfriend home. You've been wasting your time." Wu Xin laughed.

"It's hard to survive in the provincial capital. The rent is extremely high. I live in that small, 30-square-meter place, and it costs 350 yuan a month. The electricity bill is 1.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the water bill is even more outrageous." Lu Feng sighed.

"By the way, I heard that you are planning to set up a breeding farm in the village?" Wu Xin suddenly asked.

Liu Chang immediately revealed a gossipy expression and looked at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng nodded. "I did think so, but I ran into some trouble."

"Trouble?" Wu Xin asked.

Lu Feng told them what happened this morning. The two looked at each other and shrugged, obviously not being able to guess what happened.

"If the farm can be rented, you can go and help." Lu Feng said expectantly.

"Really?"

Their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes. If the farm is contracted, my father is the only one in the family who can run it. I estimate that it will take more than ten people to complete it. You two are strong and it's perfect for this job." Lu Feng sighed, "I was full of confidence at first, but now I am a little hesitant."

"Fuck it, what are you worried about? As long as you have the ability, just do it. The brothers will support you. Don't worry about the inside story..." Wu Xin was simple-minded, but he was never afraid of anything. During his school years, no one dared to mess with him. He even had the glorious record of beating up more than a dozen junior classmates.

"It's too early to talk about this now. Let's wait until I figure it out. After all, safety comes first!" Lu Feng felt that everyone was working to support their families, so how could they do things according to the old way of thinking.

Just at this moment, Lu Feng's cell phone vibrated a few times. He took it out and found it was a call from Liu Jiajia.

Only then did he remember that today was New Year's Eve and according to the plan his car should have arrived at the county town.

"Hello, classmate Lu Feng, do you still want this car?" Liu Jiajia's voice sounded somewhat complaining on the phone.
