Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 848: Suspicion of gloating

This time when he went to the county town, in addition to buying glass, Wang An also had to go to the brick factory to order a batch of bricks.

Because the current situation is that not only is there not enough bricks in Wang Li's house, there are not enough bricks in Mu Xueli's house, and even there are not enough bricks in Wang An's house.

The bricks for the first two families were not enough because their houses were being built bigger.

As for Wang An's family, the yard was too large and the wall was too long, so after building all the houses, livestock pens and fish ponds, there were not enough bricks to build the wall.

I have to say that Wang An’s new house is a huge investment.

After swaying and clanging all the way, Wang An arrived at the county town. After clanging for a while, Wang An arrived at the brick factory in the county town.

This season is the peak season for building houses, so the business of the brick factories in the county town seems to be pretty good.

Because when Wang An came last time, there was not a single worker in the entire brick factory except the bricks and tiles and the factory director Hao Dayou.

Now, mule carts and horse-drawn carriages pulling bricks, as well as four-wheeled vehicles and hand tractors, are all parked in the brick factory to load bricks.

The main thing is that the densely packed brick and tile piles that Wang An saw last time are now only half gone.

Things are finally getting better for the brick factory.

After parking the four-wheeled vehicle outside the yard, Wang An strolled into the brick factory.

Familiar with the route, Wang An went straight to the office of factory director Hao Dayou.

Hao Dayou at this moment was completely different from his last time.

I still remember that the last time Wang An came, Hao Dayou was wearing a tattered cotton jacket with flowers on it, his hair was not combed and his face was not washed. He looked completely unkempt, looking like a shepherd.

Although Hao Dayou was wearing work clothes now, he was very clean and you could tell at a glance that he was not working.

Seeing Wang An, Hao Dayou was naturally very happy and greeted him with a smile on his face:
"Oh, isn't this my brother Xiao An? Hahahaha. Come and sit down. It just so happens that I made some good tea a few days ago. I'll make you a cup to try. Hahahaha."

I have to admit that although they are both factory managers, the difference in their personalities is as huge as heaven and earth!

Compared with the brick factory director Hao Dayou, Bai Zhihong, the cement factory director, it is no exaggeration to say that Bai Zhihong is not even a human being.

He becomes more and more powerful as an official, and always acts as if he is superior. I wonder if he is tired of pretending to be so.

Seeing Hao Dayou's enthusiasm, Wang An also laughed and said:

"It's my brother Hao who's been good to me. Hahahaha. I've been missing you for a long time. I'm here right now. Hahaha."

After Wang An finished speaking, Hao Dayou pretended to glance around and said:

"Really? You really miss me or you just imagine me? You miss me so much that you come here empty-handed?"

But as soon as Hao Dayou finished speaking, he burst into laughter again, "Hahahaha."

It can be seen that Hao Dayou did not treat Wang An as an outsider.

Although Hao Dayou said so, Wang An did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, he said with a smile on his face:
"You definitely can't come empty-handed. The main thing is that no matter what you bring, it can't be as sincere as making a big deal for me, Brother Hao, hehehehe."

When Hao Dayou heard this, he pointed at Wang An and said in a serious tone:
"Come on, brother Xiao An, your words have opened up my heart. Otherwise, why would I need you, my brother? You know what I need, hahahaha."

It can be seen that Hao Dayou is really happy.

In this way, the two chatted briefly while smoking and drinking what Hao Dayou called "the so-called good tea". The reason why it was called "the so-called good tea" was that the tea that Hao Dayou took was actually the loose tea sold by the supply and marketing cooperative.

Fortunately, this tea is not the kind of broken tea leaves that Hao Dayou used to entertain Wang An last time.

After chatting for a while, Hao Dayou took the initiative to say:
"Brother Xiao An, how many bricks and tiles are you planning to collect this time? You don't know, I'm really upset when I look at those bricks in the yard now."

Wang An smiled and said:

"Before I came here, I saw that the construction of the County No. 2 Middle School had already started. So they can't have to go to other places to get bricks for the County No. 2 Middle School, right?"

When Hao Dayou heard this, he said helplessly:
"They do need a lot of bricks and tiles, but they won't pay me now. Damn, they said they won't pay me until all the work is completed. How can this be so annoying?"

At this time, Hao Dayou was really annoyed. It was really annoying to make bricks all day long but not see any money.

Wang An was stunned when he heard this, and blinked his eyes, not knowing how to respond.

The main thing is building schools, which is Zhengfu's business. How will Zhengfu coordinate and handle it specifically? How would ordinary people know this?
After thinking for a while, Wang An said:
"Has the Zhengfu Building been completed? It should have been approved by now, right?"

When Hao Dayou heard this, he still said without a trace of joy:

"Well, the project has been approved, but it's just like building a school. There's no money to be made, eh!"

To be honest, Wang An almost laughed out loud after listening to what Hao Dayou said.

It’s mainly because Hao Dayou, the factory director, has a really miserable job.

Whether it is building the Zhengfu Building or building a school, the amount of work can be said to be quite large.

However, there was no sign of money, and the key point was that Hao Dayou still had to figure out a way to pay the workers' wages.

I have to say, nothing is easy.

However, although Wang An wanted to laugh, he forced himself to hold it back. The main reason was that if he laughed out loud now, it would seem a bit inappropriate, and it would be a bit like "gloating".

Wang An took a sip of water, and then said comfortingly:

"The money will come sooner or later anyway, so why would the big boss Zhengfu owe you money?"

Hao Dayou then nodded and said:
"Yeah, that's true. I have to pay off the debt every year, and I have to pay it back bit by bit. Humph, it won't work if I'm short of money."

Although Hao Dayou said this, Wang An suddenly realized that things might really develop as Hao Dayou said.

The main thing is that no matter in this era or in the future, how can Zhengfu not be short of money?

Before Wang An could answer, Hao Dayou asked again:

"Well, Xiao An, you haven't told me how many bricks you want to order this time?"

Because he had calculated it at home, Wang An said without thinking:

"I only need another 40 bricks, and then my brother and my brother-in-law will each need another 10, so the total will be 60."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Hao Dayou said with a smile on his face:

"Look, it's all thanks to my brother Xiao An who's awesome. If there were a customer like you every year, I wouldn't have to worry about selling my bricks, hahahaha."
