"Brother Wei Dong, you are so awesome."

inside the house.

Li Weidong smoked a cigarette comfortably.

He couldn't figure out why Sun Lanhua was praising him.

But it doesn’t matter what it is, it’s still very powerful.

"Lanhua, how is your brick kiln going?"

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Sun Lanhua suddenly became energetic, stood up and said with a smile: "It went very well. We have found a brick kiln master. He is a master with more than ten years of experience. He will definitely be able to bake high-quality bricks."

.”

Brick kiln master....

Li Weidong frowned slightly: "Have you checked his craftsmanship?"

"It's not necessary. My brother has already asked carefully. He is really a master and has rich experience."

Looking at Sun Lanhua's innocent look, Li Weidong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are a master or not, you still have to rely on your true ability to speak."

"Okay, I'll be with you now."

Seeing that Li Weidong insisted on his opinion, Sun Lanhua didn't understand the reason, but she was still very happy.

After all, she has been busy with the brick kiln these days and has not been with Li Weidong for several days.

Sun Lanhua took the initiative to help Li Weidong get dressed and took him to the brick kiln factory.

At this time, the Sun family and several commune members were busy working in the brick kiln factory.

Sun Shaoan accompanied the old master to check the soil quality near the brick kiln.

"Sun boy, look, this kind of soil is the most suitable for firing brick kilns." The old master grabbed a handful of soil and introduced it to Sun Shao'an.

Sun Shao'an nodded frequently after hearing this, sighing in his heart that he really found a good master this time, not only with good skills, but also very responsible. Otherwise, he didn't know when the brick kiln factory would be able to open.

"Brother, Director Li is here."

Hearing a call from a distance, Sun Shaoan looked up and saw Li Weidong standing not far away, and quickly pulled the old master's arm.

"Master Zhang, stop being busy, the real owner of our brick kiln factory is here."

"The real owner? Boy from the Sun family, aren't you the owner of the brick kiln?" Master Zhang was so shocked that his eyes were as wide as light bulbs, and the soil in his hand fell to the ground.

Sun Shaoan didn't expect him to be so surprised. He frowned and said, "Master, can I open a private brick kiln now?"

"No, can't..."

"That's it!"

Master Zhang had no choice but to take a deep breath and follow Sun Shaoan to Li Weidong.

With just one glance, he realized how difficult it was to deal with the person in front of him. The sparkling light from those eyes scanned the person's body, as if he wanted to see through the person completely.

But now he has no way out, he can only bite the bullet and laugh non-stop.

Sun Shaoan pointed at him and introduced: "Director Li, this is the Master Zhang I invited. Master Zhang is a master who has been working in brick kilns for decades and is very skilled."

At this time, Master Zhang also said with a smile: "Burning brick kilns is a technical job. There are strict requirements in terms of heat, material selection, and workmanship. You are just lucky to find me. Otherwise, there will definitely be big problems."

trouble."

"Try it." Li Weidong said coldly.

"Try?"

Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his ears. After being stunned for a while, he said with a smile: "Director Li, the cost of burning a brick kiln is quite high, how can you try it?"

Sun Shaoan also explained beside him: "Yes, Director Li, I have calculated that it will cost at least one hundred and fifty yuan to burn a brick kiln..."

Li Weidong interrupted him: "If the brick kiln burns down, won't the one hundred and fifty yuan be lost?"

Sun Shaoan was speechless for a moment.

In the original work, Sun Shaoan lost his character because he burned down a brick kiln.

If he hadn't been lucky and had a few good friends to help him, he might have had no choice but to find a rope and hang himself from the tree.

Li Weidong continued: "Besides, we don't need to burn a whole brick kiln, we just need to burn some samples."

When Master Zhang heard this, his face turned blue with fright, and he just wanted to stop him.

Sun Lanhua stepped forward and said, "That's right, let's just burn the samples."

Although she didn't know anything about burning brick kilns, she knew that whatever Li Weidong said was definitely correct.

Sun Lanhua rarely expresses opinions in the Sun family, but once she does, everyone in the Sun family respects her decision.

Besides, the brick kiln factory belongs to Shuangshui Village in name, but in fact it belongs to the steel rolling mill. As the representative of the steel rolling mill, Li Weidong has the actual decision-making power.

Finally, it was decided to build a brick kiln first.

I learned that I was going to build a brick kiln.

The members of Shuangshui Village were even happier than Sun Lanhua.

Because according to the rules set by Li Weidong, they worked in the brick kiln on weekdays and could get two kilograms of wheat every day, which was just enough to feed their family.

However, once the brick kiln is fired, the amount of labor for the members will increase. According to regulations, they can get four kilograms of wheat every day.

Four pounds of wheat is enough to feed the whole family for one day, but there is still a lot left over.

Accumulated praise can be used to cope with the famine, and can also be used to marry a daughter-in-law.

Take the middle-aged man who was running away carrying a brick. His name was Sun Daniu, a distant relative of Sun Yuhou. He was in his fifties, but he worked in the kiln like a strong young man every day.

All because he has a son who is thin.

Although the son is thirty years old this year, because he cannot lift it with his hands or carry it on his shoulders, he looks like a hemp stick and will fall down when the wind blows.

In rural areas, if a man cannot work, he will be rejected by women.

So over the years, Sun Daniu found many matchmakers and helped his son find many girls, but as soon as they saw Sun Daniu, those girls turned away and left without even drinking a cup of tea.

A while ago, a matchmaker from the next village came to our door and said that she could help Sun Daniu's son find a wife for just twenty kilograms of grain.

Sun Daniu was not a fool. He asked about the situation at that time. The woman was nearly thirty years old this year and had never been married because of her ugly appearance.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But.

But the woman was tall and round, and worked like a calf. She was in the front row of the commune and received fifteen work points every day, just like the men.

Because of this, her parents were never in a hurry to marry her off, but as they got older, they began to worry.

Although Sun Daniu's son was relatively weak and was not good at work, Sun Daniu was very capable at work.

That's why I agree.

Besides, the price of twenty kilograms of grain is not low. There are many women here who have fled these days. As long as they can have a full stomach, they will stay.

Sun Daniu also felt that he was interested in the woman's ability to work, so he thought of ways to raise food.

Now that he heard that the kiln was going to be burned, how could he not be happy?

The situation of other commune members is similar. In rural areas these days, the most valuable thing is food. With food, you have everything.

The scene suddenly became lively.

Sun Yuhou, Sun Shaoan and Sun Lanhua all stood in front of the brick kiln, looking at the old kiln worker Master Zhang.

Master Zhang's forehead was covered with sweat, and he raised his sleeves to wipe it away.

Sun Shaoan felt something was wrong and urged: "Master Zhang, Director Li is still waiting. Hurry up."

"Ah...yes, yes..." Master Zhang really had no choice but to start preparing for the brick kiln.

Li Weidong stood there and watched all this quietly.

I have to say that Master Zhang has indeed fired brick kilns before, and under his guidance, the whole process seemed extremely smooth.

Pieces of bricks were made by the members and pushed into the brick kiln on small carts. Master Zhang, like a master craftsman, personally instructed the members who fired the brick kilns, paying attention to when to fire the fire and how to control the temperature.

When everything was ready, Master Zhang ran over like a treasure, licked his face and said with a smile: "Director Li, you are a big leader from the capital, you should light this brick kiln."

Li Weidong waved his hand: "Forget it, you should do this yourself?"

Master Zhang did not expect that Li Weidong would refuse this honor.

His heart skipped a beat. Did this person from the capital discover something unusual?

No, he had indeed fired brick kilns, but that was seven or eight years ago, and the details of the brick kiln had long been blurred.

Forget it, let's quickly light the fire and find a way to escape.

Although I didn't get paid, I still had enough to eat for a few days. This trip to Shuangshui Village was considered a complete success.

As for the burned bricks, he can't be blamed. Who made the people of Shuangshui Village so stupid?!

He threw the torch stained with kerosene on the firewood and looked at the raging fire. Master Zhang narrowed his eyes proudly.

Since the brick kiln started firing today, Sun Yuhou's wife specially prepared a sumptuous dinner.
