The speed of action was much faster than Li Weidong imagined. It only took three days to plan the address of the brick kiln factory.
In the cold wind, Sun Yuhou took Li Weidong to a slope behind Shuangshui Village, pointed to the potholes below and said: "Director Li, before liberation, this was a brick kiln, and the red bricks produced were of excellent quality.
, even the big families in the county sent mules and horses to pull them.
After liberation, this place was idle, which I felt was a pity, so I thought of reopening the brick kiln factory."
Li Weidong clasped his hands behind his back and leaned down to look down. The so-called brick kiln was actually a large pit. There were traces of digging around the pit, but it could be clearly seen that the color of the soil in this pit was different from other places.
different.
He bent down, picked up a piece of loess, rubbed it in his hands, and said with a smile: "How much does it cost to set up this brick kiln?"
This time the steel rolling mill also raised several hundred yuan in aid funds for Shuangshui Village, but the money needs to be applied to the steel rolling mill before it can be disbursed.
Sun Yuhou waved his hand: "It's free. I've already inquired about it. The most important equipment in a brick kiln is the kiln, the burner, and the brick pressing machine... Some of these equipment are already here. Although there are a few
Ten years old, but as long as you clean it up, it can still be used.
The missing parts can be exchanged for food in the town next door, and it doesn’t cost much food.”
Li Weidong nodded slowly. The brick kilns of today were very different from those of later generations. There were almost no mechanical equipment, and most of the work was done by manpower.
"How much salary do we need to pay to the members?"
"There is no need for wages. Now we members don't have food stamps. Even if we are paid, we can't spend it. I plan to use the food you help us to hire members to work in the kiln factory." Sun Yuhou smiled honestly.
Laughing: "Of course, these still require your consent. After all, this brick kiln is actually the property of your steel rolling mill."
Of course Li Weidong would not refuse, and instead asked about some professional matters.
What he didn't expect was that Sun Yuhou could answer questions fluently. It was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into preparing the brick kiln.
"Okay, Comrade Sun Yuhou, you are now an expert in making bricks."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. How can I be an expert from a rural area where I don't know how to read? I asked Shaoan to borrow a few books from the city and asked him to read to me and learned these things from the books."
No wonder...it turned out to be Sun Shaoan supporting him behind him.
Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said: "Comrade Sun Yuhou, as the real owner of the brick kiln factory, I propose that Comrade Sun Shaoan be the deputy director of the brick kiln factory."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Shaoan, who was standing not far behind him, almost jumped up with excitement.
He had no idea about brick kilns before. After all, when the Jin family brick kiln was booming, he was still a child wearing crotchless pants.
In order to help Sun Yuhou organize the brick kiln factory, Sun Shaoan came into contact with the brick kiln factory. This contact did not matter, and Sun Shaoan found that he had a strong interest in the brick kiln factory.
It's amazing how loose loess can be fired to build a building.
Now that I heard that I can be the deputy factory director, how can I not be happy?!
But Sun Yuhou was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. Shaoan is not yet an adult, how can he be a leader?"
"How old is Shaoan this year?" Li Weidong asked.
"Sixteen years old..." Sun Shaoan quickly raised his hand.
Li Weidong laughed loudly: "In our rural areas, sixteen is considered an adult. Some even get married and have children. Why can't they be deputy factory directors?"
Sun Yuhou was a little worried: "I, I'm afraid that others will gossip. After all, Shaoan is my son."
"What's wrong with my son? This kind of position is occupied by capable people." Li Weidong looked at Sun Yuhou and said loudly: "If it weren't for Sun Shaoan, would you be able to run the brick kiln factory?"
Sun Yuhou thought for a moment and shook his head: "I am a farmer. I am good at tending livestock and cleaning crops. I really don't understand cave dwellings..."
"That's okay!" Li Weidong's face became serious: "Comrade Sun Yuhou, I want to criticize you. You risked letting the brick kiln factory go bankrupt because you cared about your reputation. This is also an ideological mistake."
Sun Yuhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a little confused, but just thinking about it carefully, his expression changed drastically.
"Yes, yes...Director Li, you are right in your criticism. I always thought that a person must be innocent. I never thought that sometimes, in order to deliberately be innocent, I would damage the interests of the collective. Wait until I get back.
After that, I will definitely study harder."
"Okay, don't blame yourself. Things in rural areas are complicated and you have your own difficulties."
Li Weidong could understand Sun Yuhou and said with a smile: "The brick kiln factory is the industry of our steel rolling mill. When the time comes, I will draft the director and deputy director in the name of our steel rolling mill. If anyone has any opinions, let him come to me to raise them."
!”
Sun Yulan brought mung bean tea at this time. Hearing these powerful words, she felt happy in her heart. Men should be like this.
"Director Li, dad, eldest brother, are here to drink tea."
Sun Yulan picked up her apron and wiped the porcelain bowl, filled a bowl for Li Weidong first, handed it over, and said with a bright smile: "Director Li, drink tea."
"Thanks!"
Li Weidong took it and took a few sips.
Oh my god, there is even sugar in the mung bean soup.
He turned his head and saw Sun Yulan pursed her lips and snickered, and felt happy at that time.
After drinking mung bean soup, Li Weidong discussed the brick kiln factory with Sun Yuhou and Sun Shaoan. Feeling that the time was ripe, he rode his bicycle to the county town.
I contacted the steel rolling mill through the county phone number.
The person who answered the phone was Director Yang of the steel rolling mill.
Factory Director Yang couldn't wait to ask about Li Weidong's situation here. After learning that everything was going well, he relayed the current situation of the poverty alleviation workshop to Li Weidong.
Under the leadership of Qin Jingru, the poverty alleviation workshop is progressing smoothly. A batch of goods has been completed on time, and the quality of the goods is very good, which has been praised by the port city.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Qin Jingru's experience is still inexperienced. This is all because of your good leadership, Director Yang." Li Weidong was relieved at this moment, and instead proposed to build a brick kiln factory in Shuangshui Village.
things.
At the same time, the current situation of Shuangshui Village was introduced.
Director Yang originally had some doubts about building a brick kiln, but when he heard that the annual rainfall in Shuangshui Village was less than 100 milliliters, he could no longer say no.
"Comrade Weidong, you have thought very carefully. Since we are helping, we must help Shuangshui Village and let it walk on its own, instead of feeding it to its belly and not caring about it anymore after receiving the certificate."
"Don't worry, there is precedent for setting up a local factory and it is not illegal. I will go and help you complete the procedures right away."
"Thank you, Director Yang. With your support, the brick kiln factory will be completed soon. The people of Shuangshui Village will definitely thank you."
Director Yang's attitude did not exceed Li Weidong's expectations.
This old factory director may have countless shortcomings, but he has a decent style and is considerate of the poor people.
As long as he can truly help the people, he will never stand idly by.
Factory Director Yang was very concerned about this matter. After putting down the phone, he started to go to various units in the capital to go through the formalities.
Li Weidong took advantage of this free time and took Sun Lanhua around Shuangshui Village.
Don't tell me, although Shuangshui Village is barren, there are still many places with beautiful scenery, such as the jujube forest at the back, the dilapidated cave dwellings on the hillside, and the dry creek in the distance.
Li Weidong and Sun Lanhua were everywhere.
After a period of contact, Li Weidong finally understood Sun Lanhua thoroughly.
This woman has the same temperament as Qin Jingru. She believes in marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and following the dog. Once she harms any man, she will never change her life.
In the original work, the wandering ghost king Man Yin abandons Sun Lanhua and wanders around the world. Without the help of old man Sun Yuhou, Sun Lanhua would not be able to survive.
Later, Wang Manyin even brought back a Nanyang woman and wanted to sleep on the same kang with Sun Lanhua. Even so, Sun Lanhua did not file for divorce.
This woman...is truly a treasure.
Now that Wang Manyin has been driven away, Li Weidong will naturally treat Sun Lanhua well.
Because Sun Lanhua is a chef and a guide, she can follow Li Weidong all day without attracting anyone's attention. The two of them are having a great time.
This world is a real world, some people are happy and some are sad.
For example, Tian Mantang was not in a good mood.
Ever since Sun Yuhou became the leader of the grain distribution team in Shuangshui Village, Tian Mantang sent Sun Yuting to communicate with Sun Yuhou, trying to get Sun Yuhou to turn to his side.
Two days have passed, but Sun Yuting has not replied.
This is rare in Sun Yuting's history. Although he is not very capable, he is more diligent than others.
In particular, he has been fawning over Tian Futang. As long as it is a task ordered by Tian Futang, whether it is going up mountains of swords or seas of fire, he will complete it in time.
"What did this old Sun do? It's getting more and more outrageous!"
Tian Futang's inner annoyance made him not even want to eat breakfast. He only ate half of the white flour bun and put down his chopsticks.
At this time, Mrs. Tian hurriedly walked in from outside and said with a smile: "Old man, I saw Sun Yuting coming."
"Why are you panicking?" Tian Futang glared at her, picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly and elegantly.
This is exactly Tian Futang's way of controlling people.
For people like Sun Yuting, if you treat him better, he will raise his tail to the sky and look down on you from the bottom of his heart.
Just look at his brother Sun Yuhou. Sun Yuhou gave him the cave dwelling and helped him get a wife. He was closer to him than his biological father. However, Sun Yuting looked down on Sun Yuhou from the bottom of his heart and thought he was an old antique.
.
Sure enough, Tian Futang's skill in manipulating people is still first-rate. When Sun Yuting entered the house, he originally wanted to pick up a piece of white-faced steamed buns. When he saw Tian Futang's gloomy face, he was immediately frightened. He sat there and did not dare to move. He could only peek from time to time.
Tian Futang.
After a long time, Tian Futang felt that time was almost up, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks.
Strike a match, light the pot, and start smoking slowly.
A cold voice filled the air along with the faint smoke.
"Sun Yuting, how did the thing I asked you to do go?"
Mentioning this matter, Sun Yuting's forehead was covered with sweat.
His butt looked like grass had grown on it. He twisted it back and forth a few times, stood up and bent over and said, "Secretary Tian, I'm so sorry. Sun Yuhou is so stubborn. I have been trying to persuade him for a long time.
I just don’t agree to let you participate in the food distribution work.”
As soon as these words came out, Tian Futang's heart skipped a beat.
According to Tian Futang's prior expectations, Sun Yuhou was Sun Yuting's brother and was always willing to listen to Sun Yuting's words. With Sun Yuhou's help, he could control the grain distribution group.
That's why he raised no objection to Sun Yuhou being the leader of the grain distribution group at the village meeting.
Who would have thought that when Sun Yuhou became the team leader, he would turn his back on him and deny himself.
Tian Futang smoked his cigarette pipe, and after a long time he still couldn't figure out what Sun Yuhou's confidence was.
In the past, he would have ignored Sun Yuhou. After waiting for a while, he would find an opportunity to deal with Sun Yuhou and make him understand that he, Tian Futang, was in charge in Shuangshui Village.
However, that batch of food was so critical, and the Jin family was still watching eagerly, so nothing could go wrong.
"Old lady, you can pour seven or eight kilograms of corn, and I'll sit down at Sun Yuhou's house."
"Okay."
When Tian Futang arrived at Sun's house with his bag, Sun Yuhou, Sun Shao'an and Sun Shaoping had just finished eating and were preparing to go to the kiln factory to prepare for the construction of a brick kiln.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, several people followed Li Weidong's suggestion and kept the brick kiln plan secret.
Seeing Tian Futang coming, Sun Yuhou knew that trouble was coming, so he sent Sun Shao'an and Sun Shaoping to the kiln factory first, while he welcomed Tian Futang into the house.
Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping both greeted Tian Futang politely and left.
Sun Yuhou closed the door intentionally or unintentionally, took the bag and said with a smile: "Brother, you came right away, why are you still bringing gifts?"
"What a gift? It's just a few kilograms of corn! Don't worry, these secrets are not from the commune. My brother Tian Futang sent them back from the county. He will not make mistakes." Tian Futang laughed and said: "You have many children at home.
The burden is heavy, I understand all these situations, otherwise, if you are short of food in the future, you can ask Shaoan to come to my house to feed you."
"No way, this is impossible." Sun Yuhou knew Tian Futang's thoughts and quickly refused.
"What's wrong with this?!"
Tian Futang lit the pipe and pot, took two puffs, and his expression gradually became serious: "Sun Yuhou, when we were working in Liuzhen, we slept on a big kang and ate from a bowl, and you saved my life.
Fate, we are friends in need."
Before liberation, Shuangshui Village suffered from severe droughts for many years. Sun Yuhou and Tian Futang, who were still very young at that time, could only go out to find food.
The two of them went to the largest grain store in Liu Town to carry work.
It's said to be carrying work, but actually it's just carrying a big bag.
The boss of the grain store was a big landowner who was notoriously stingy and treated his employees badly.
They have to work continuously for seven or eight hours every day before they can take a break.
You know, the big sacks in the grain store can weigh a hundred and fifty pounds each. Even a hard-working man cannot withstand such a hard work.
Tian Futang was young and energetic, and he didn't know what was going on. Within a few days, he collapsed.
He wanted to borrow some money from the grain store owner for medical treatment.
The boss of the grain store didn't care about him at all.
Tian Futang could only lie on the kang and wait for death.
It was Sun Yuhou who used his few remaining resources to help Tian Futang call in a doctor and save his life.
