It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 294: Will this melon of yours... keep it ripe?

Everyone was happily pushing bricks out of the kiln, pushing single-wheel carts.

As expected of a skilled brick-burner, the entire kiln bricks are thoroughly baked from the inside out. Since some wolf excrement mud was added when removing the adobe, the color of the bricks is slightly whiter, but it is also harder than ordinary green bricks. many.

Sun Jianping pushed a cart full of blue bricks and ran to the stockyard. Qian Huijun unloaded the green bricks with gloves on, pointed at the gentle Gulu River in the distance and winked at him.

What do you mean?
"Don't leave later, there's something delicious!"

Qian Huijun chuckled, so silly!

A total of 7,000 bricks were produced from this kiln. After they were shipped out, the second batch of bricks was quickly put in and fired.

The batch of bricks that were burned were also taken away by the people of Yuweizi in a horse-drawn carriage. Yu Changshun held a cigarette in his mouth and squatted on the ground with Lao Cao, smoking and settling accounts.

"According to Secretary Yao, a brick is priced at 1/2. This batch is worth 7,000 yuan. How much should I give you?"

Lao Cao reported the numbers almost without thinking!
Eighty-four!
The old man should have settled this little account clearly!

"Ok!"

Yu Changshun took out his wallet from his pocket, ordered eight large unity cards, and handed over four more one-piece pieces. Lao Cao thought about it and pushed the four pieces back to him.

The two smiled tacitly, and no one said anything. Yu Changshun got up and walked back behind the carriage pulling bricks from the village.

"Brother, let us know in advance when the next batch of bricks is fired!"

"Do not worry!"

Lao Cao put the eighty yuan into his pocket and smiled.

The team received another eighty yuan!

There is still such a big brick kiln left!
Get rich!
If we keep up this trend, everyone will be able to share a lot of money this year!
When it was dark and work was about to begin, Qian Huijun mysteriously waved to Sun Jianping and walked straight to the river.

"Hey Huihui, don't think too hard!" Sun Jianping wiped the sweat from his head with a towel and shouted at her, earning Miss Qian a blank look!
"You can't even think about it!"

She walked to the river and pulled out a net bag from the rushing water. There was a big watermelon in the net bag!

It's as big as a basketball!
"You said you wanted to eat watermelon, so I picked the watermelon grown in my own plot. Try it quickly!"

Qian Huijun blushed a little and handed the net bag to Sun Jianping as if offering a treasure. Sun Jianping found a dry place to sit down, pulled out the dagger and placed it on the watermelon.

He turned his head and glanced at Qian Huijun, which made Miss Qian's face turn red and she turned around quickly, not daring to look at him.

Sun Jianping bent his fingers, tapped twice, and frowned, "Miss Qian, is this melon... of yours still ripe?"

"I'm not stupid enough to pick raw melon eggs..."

"Ha ha!"

Sun Jianping laughed twice, raised the knife and dropped it. There was a click, and the watermelon was cut in half, revealing the red flesh...

"for you!"

He first cut a piece and handed it to Qian Huijun. Qian Huijun took it and took a bite. A cold and sweet taste penetrated her heart. It was so beautiful that she narrowed her eyes and let out a sigh.

So sweet!

Really delicious!
"Miss Qian is really good at raising watermelons..." He also cut a piece for himself, glanced at Miss Qian's watermelon (in his hand), and made a pun.

Qian Huijun didn't hear what he meant, so she snorted, "That's right, although I didn't grow up in a rural area, I know how to study!"

"Yoyouyou is still a good kid who loves to study."

"That's right! Envy it! Envy it! A little bit!"

"Seriously, what are your plans for the future?" Sun Jianping asked after finishing a piece of watermelon in three strokes, throwing it into the Gulu River nearby, and then cut another piece.

"What other plans can there be for people like us? No, it should be people with my background. Being able to work as a barefoot doctor is already a favor. Are you still thinking of being promoted to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University and joining the army as a worker? Think about it? Don’t even think about it!”

Qian Huijun took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, with a trace of sadness in his eyes as clear as moonlight.

"Ugh!"

Sun Jianping also sighed, and both of them were silent for a while. "Meow!"

The old cat wandered here and saw the two of them sitting side by side by the river. He ran over in three steps and then jumped into Qian Huijun's arms. He rolled around comfortably, revealing his white hair. belly.

"Meow!"

The old cat's big eyes widened, its small paws protected Qian Huijun's white arm, and it bared its sharp teeth, trying to bite it.

Touch meow!
"Hey, what are those two doing?"

Zhou Wei walked from the brick kiln carrying a shovel and deliberately shouted loudly.

The uncles, grandparents, aunts, mothers, aunts and sisters who had just finished work looked at these two people with kind smiles.

Qian Huijun was so embarrassed that he hurriedly picked up the cat and followed everyone towards the village with a red face.

"Second Sister Wang is sitting in the north building, crying because of the rain... I call her Second Brother, why don't you return home..."

The eldest daughter-in-law of Wang Liansheng's family threw away her arms and sang the Northeastern tune "Second Sister Wang Misses Her Husband", which made Qian Huijun blush.

Zhou Wei came over and said, "What do you think? Let's see if you have anything else to say this time!"

"Hate!"

Zhang Cuiyu also chuckled, "I think you two are really like a pair of great beauties, so why don't you Hui Hui just accept it?"

"Go, go, even you make fun of me!"

Qian Huijun squirmed, causing everyone to laugh again, and Li Xiuzhi's clear voice sounded, "What's wrong with our Jianping family? His size, appearance, brain... everything is fine. You don't want the small money, I But I gave my brother to someone else!"

"Sister-in-law, you..."

Qian Huijun blushed and stamped her foot, "I won't tell you anymore!"

She hurried away, causing everyone to laugh.

Sun Jianping followed the crowd, holding two halves of watermelon in his hand, and distributed them to everyone. Everyone laughed when they saw him, "Jianping, you are not young anymore. When are you going to have a wedding banquet with Xiao Qian? My uncle is waiting to drink it!" "

"Don't worry, I will definitely let you drink my wedding wine!" Sun Jianping smiled heartily, stood on tiptoe and glanced at Qian Huijun who was walking in front, and he became more and more hesitant.

Dinner was yellow lamb stewed with potatoes, which was specially made to entertain Master Li Shixin. After eating, Li Shixin wiped his mouth, sat cross-legged on the kang, and chatted with Lao Cao.

"Do you have a Caojiaji in Shandong?" Lao Cao asked Li Shixin, leaning on the window sill and smoking his after-dinner cigarette leisurely.

"I don't know about this yet. My family is called Dawangzhuang and Lijiazhuang, and I haven't heard of Caojiazhuang."

Li Shixin was also smoking, his body hunched into a ball, his eyes narrowed, and his thoughts returned to his hometown in Guan Nei.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lao Cao's eyes, and he sighed, "Did you have a lot of people who broke into Guandong in the early years?"

"Yes, it's quite a lot!" Li Shixin got excited, "We have a lot of people but little land. Every household has to have a son. Without land, we can't grow food and we will go hungry. So we have to choose who to go to Guandong!"

"Was it particularly spectacular at that time?" Sun Jianping came over and asked curiously. Xiao Yueyue also sat on his lap, holding the old cat in her arms, listening to the old man with a strange accent telling stories.

"Well, our old Li family has a total of thirteen rooms, and those in Guandong have seven rooms. At that time, we were all carrying carts, walking through Wuding Prefecture, passing through Jinmen, and then through Shanhaiguan. The roads were full of people... …”

I go!

I can’t see that Mr. Li’s family used to be a wealthy family!

When the topic of breaking into Guandong was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room became a little solemn. Li Xiuzhi, who was lighting a fire in the outer room, also held her chin, remembering the family history that her father had told her before.

Ugh!
In order to survive, our ancestors had to go to Guandong on a pick-up truck. How difficult it was!
"Xiuzhi is busy!"

The door opened, Xu Jinshan ducked into the house, stretched out his hand to wipe the water from his hair, "Your chin is exposed, is your dad home?"

"You're in the house, what's wrong with uncle?" Li Xiuzhi asked with a smile as she got up and closed the door to prevent mosquitoes from flying in and biting the children.

"It's nothing, isn't it? Our King Kong needs to be praised again."
