A faint golden light spreads across the earth, bringing vitality to this ancient land.
In Shuangshui Village Brick Kiln Factory.
Dozens of commune members gathered in front of the brick kiln, waiting for it to open.
As the bricks blocking the entrance of the brick kiln were removed, buckets of water were poured into the cave.
When the temperature of the cave dwelling dropped a little, Sun Shaoan put on his ragged cotton-padded jacket and prepared to enter the cave dwelling.
Sun Lanhua was a little worried that the temperature inside was too high, and wanted to stop Sun Shaoan, but was stopped by Li Weidong with a wave of his hand.
"Sun Lanhua, let him go, he is trying to atone for his sins!"
Sun Lanhua also knew that Sun Shaoan had been feeling guilty for inviting Master Zhang.
Just this morning, they interrogated Master Zhang.
The old liar originally wanted to hold on for a while, but when he saw the members gathered around him again, he confessed everything on the spot.
He was originally a gangster who wandered outside. Because he often walked around the streets and helped people work in various places, he knew something about all walks of life.
Like making furniture, hooping cave dwellings, building walls, etc., every time he would first win the trust of the employer, then collect a certain deposit, and wait for the work to get started.
He will leave the mess behind and run away, leaving all the losses borne by his employer.
If Li Weidong hadn't seen through Master Zhang in advance this time, Sun Shaoan would have become the sinner of the brick kiln factory.
After this disaster in Shuangshui Village, there may not be another chance to rebuild the cave dwellings in the future.
Naturally, his heart was filled with guilt.
If this guilt is not released in time, it will be enough to crush the future leader of Shuangshui Village.
After a while.
Regardless of the heat, Sun Shaoan held out a brick shelf with freshly fired red bricks.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary red brick.
Sun Shaoan frowned and said: "Director Li, these bricks are just ordinary bricks. There is no difference. Are you mistaken..."
The words have not yet fallen.
boom!
The brick hit Sun Shaoan hard on the head, and the bricks fell down from his head like loess.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Regardless of the dust on his head, Sun Shaoan picked up the brick and smashed it on the ground. The brick broke into pieces again.
Only then did he accept this incredible fact, walked up to Li Weidong calmly, lowered his head and said, "Director Li, thank you for saving my life."
Li Weidong patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Everyone will make mistakes, and it's not your fault in this matter, it's that guy who is too cunning."
Sun Shaoan nodded: "Then, what do you want to do with Master Zhang?"
"Of course he will be sent to the county town first and let the comrades there investigate his previous criminal evidence. Then he will be severely punished for several crimes. He will probably eat peanuts."
Seeing that Sun Shaoan couldn't bear it, Li Weidong smiled and said: "Why, do you think it's too serious?"
"No... Although Master Zhang is bad, he is not the kind of person who kills people and sets fires. There is no need to be like this..." Sun Shaoan felt a little soft-hearted.
Li Weidong said coldly: "Although he did not commit murder or arson, what he did was far more serious than murder and arson. Those who were deceived by him were in a similar situation to you. They put almost all their hopes and money on him.
He deceived them and then walked away. Can you imagine what happened to those who were deceived?"
Of course Sun Shaoan knew that, just like him, those people suffered such changes and lost all their wealth. The only thing they could do was...
Thinking of this, Sun Shaoan couldn't help but shudder, feeling ashamed of his kindness just now.
To be kind to such a jackal is to be hard-hearted to a good person.
Sun Shaoan is not the kind of person who has the kindness of a woman.
only....
Sun Shaoan turned to look at Li Weidong: "Director Li, what should we do now?"
"Of course we need to find a real brick kiln master."
As Li Weidong spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Sun Shaoan: "This is a master from the Hongxing Brick Kiln Factory in the next county. I can help you go through the transfer procedures, but you have to convince him first."
"Understood, Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely convince him." Sun Shaoan was full of confidence.
He knew that Li Weidong was helping him.
Sun Shaoan returned home and told the Sun family what had happened.
Sun's family members all expressed support.
Sun Yuhou smoked a cigarette and said: "Shaoan, when you go to the Red Star Brick Factory this time, you must be more discerning. There are many good people in this world, but there are even more beasts. You must have a pair of eyes that can distinguish between beasts and good people."
Eye."
Sun Shaoan nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I am an adult and I have to shoulder my responsibilities!"
Shao'an's mother had already packed Sun Shaoan's luggage at this time.
In addition to some dry food in his luggage, the most important thing was the route that Li Weidong helped him get.
Only with roads can we leave Huangyuan County.
In this way, Sun Shaoan embarked on his own journey for the first time.
....
After Sun Shaoan left, Li Weidong also began to prepare for the opening of the brick kiln factory.
A special meeting was held at the village committee of Shuangshui Village.
Different from the past, this time the leader was Li Weidong, and Tian Futang, the leader of Shuangshui Village, could only sit below.
This is also the first time that Sun Yuhou has participated in the village committee of Shuangshui Village. The honest and honest man seems a little embarrassed and keeps looking at Li Weidong.
When Li Weidong saw that everyone had arrived, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Just yesterday, the procedures for the brick kiln factory were completed at the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill. The official name of the brick kiln factory is the Brick Kiln Factory Assisted by the Steel Rolling Mill.
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room behaved differently.
Sun Yuhou, Jin Junshan, and Jin Junwu are all in high spirits, and the brick kiln factory has complete procedures. Shuangshui Village will live a good life in the future.
Tian Futang's brows furrowed tightly.
The brick kiln was like a thorn in Shuangshui Village and in his heart.
A while ago, he made a special trip to the county town to ask Tian Fujun to come forward and stop the brick kiln factory from completing the procedures.
Who would have thought that Tian Fujun, a big shot in the county, immediately changed his face after hearing his appeal and told him not to fight with Li Weidong again.
He also gave him 50 yuan and 100 kilograms of national food stamps, asking him to focus all his energy on hoop cave dwellings.
Although Tian Fujun often helped Tian Futang, he had never been so generous.
Although Tian Futang was very happy, he was unwilling to give up Shuangshui Village.
For this leader who has been in charge for seven or eight years, he cannot tolerate his village being taken away.
Even if Shuangshui Village will become better and the villagers can have enough to eat, it won’t work!
Li Weidong seemed to have not seen Tian Futang's expression and continued: "After calculations by Comrade Sun Yuhou and I, the brick kiln factory needs at least 80 young laborers. Of course, the brick kiln factory will not let those members work in vain, except for every day
In addition to 2 kilograms of grain, each member who participates in labor will receive an additional two kilograms of grain."
As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly became excited.
During the construction of the brick kiln, only ten members participated in the labor.
Seeing those commune members taking two kilograms of grain home every day, the commune members in Shuangshui Village were drooling with envy.
At the same time, I kept asking when the brick kiln factory would recruit members again.
Now the opportunity has finally come.
only....
Members of the Shuangshui Village Committee in the conference room quickly realized a problem.
There are hundreds of people in Shuangshui Village, and there are more than 200 young and strong labor force. Eighty people seems to be too few.
How to allocate these quotas will inevitably become the focus of controversy.
At this time, Tian Futang, who had been silent, was the first to speak: "Director Li, I think these quotas should be distributed fairly and based on the number of people in each family."
"The number of people in each family?" Jin Junshan frowned at that time: "Futang, your decision may be a little inappropriate. Who doesn't know that your Tian family has the largest number of people in Shuangshui Village."
In Shuangshui Village, people from the Tian family account for at least 70%. If the distribution is carried out in this way, most of the places for members of the brick kiln factory will fall into the hands of the Tian family.
Tian Futang did not expect that Jin Junshan, who had always been obedient, would be the first to stand up against him.
There was a wry smile in my heart. This man was really a bitch. Now that Li Weidong was in power, he was forgotten.
However, Tian Futang is not without solutions.
He secretly winked at Sun Yuting.
Since entering the conference room, Sun Yuting has been silent, not even taking the enamel jar on the table, just for fear of being discovered.
After his name was called, Sun Yuting trembled slightly and said hesitantly: "I think Futang's opinion is correct. After all, distribution based on head count is the most fair!"
When Sun Yuhou heard this, he sighed silently in his heart.
His younger brother is really disappointing.
Even though he knew that the Sun family had the smallest number among the families in Shuangshui Village, he insisted on agreeing with Tian Futang's opinion. This was obviously to curry favor with Tian Futang and to give up the interests of the Sun family.
In fact, before the meeting, Sun Yuhou once advised Sun Yuting not to hang out with Tian Futang all day long.
Sun Yuting promised well at the time, but now he still sides with Tian Futang.
Subsequently, the Tian family members also responded to Tian Futang's opinions.
The Jin family tried their best to oppose it, and the conference room was filled with excitement for a while.
Li Weidong just looked at them quietly there until they all stopped slowly and there was silence in the conference room, then he stood up.
He put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said coldly: "Please make it clear that the brick kiln is not the brick kiln in Shuangshui Village, but the brick kiln of our steel rolling mill."
As soon as these words came out.
The expressions of those Tian family members who had been arguing fiercely just now suddenly changed.
The Jin family suddenly became energetic.
"Yes, the brick kiln factory belongs to the steel rolling mill, so the steel rolling mill should recruit people."
"This has nothing to do with the number of people. Tian Futang is just messing around."
"If the steel rolling mill is offended and the brick kiln is shut down in anger, we will all be caught blind."
"At that time, Tian Futang will become the sinner of our Shuangshui Village."
.....
Amid the discussion, Tian Futang's face darkened little by little, he lowered his head and could not say a word.
He felt a little frustrated.
Just like a burly boxer, although he has a pair of indestructible iron fists, he can only fight with the air.
Li Weidong didn't pay attention to him at all and continued: "Considering the actual situation of the villagers in Shuangshui Village, I don't know clearly, so the task of selecting members to join the brick kiln factory was given to Comrade Sun Yuhou."
Sun Yuhou never thought that Li Weidong would make such a decision. He quickly stood up and said: "Director Li, I, I am just an old farmer. How do I know those things..."
Li Weidong interrupted him: "You don't understand, but you understand Shuangshui Village and the members."
With that said, Li Weidong turned to face the people below: "I believe everyone knows Comrade Sun Yuhou's character. Do you have any opinions on Sun Yuhou taking this position?"
The members of the village committee knew very well that Li Weidong was just being polite to them, and among everyone, only Sun Yuhou was more suitable.
It is better for him to hold this position than to leave it to someone from the Jin family.
The decision was quickly passed, and Sun Yuhou began to select members as soon as he left the meeting.
The most important reason why Li Weidong chose Sun Yuhou was that he was an upright person in the original work.
Facts also proved that Li Weidong was right.
The members selected by Sun Yuhou were all from extremely poor families and had little to do with their surnames.
It's just that in Shuangshui Village, because the Tian family owns rich fields, their lives are generally better than those of the Jin and Sun families, so more Jin and Sun families are entering the brick kilns.
This also caused dissatisfaction with the Tian family.
In Tian Futang’s new cave dwelling.
Several core members of the Tian family gathered together, all smoking pipes and pots, heads hanging down.
Finally, Tian Haimin, who has a fiery personality, frowned and said: "Futang, this can't go on like this. Now more than 40 of the 80 places have been allocated, and only five places have been allocated to our Tian family. Our production team
There are already many people here who are dissatisfied."
Tian Haimin's words were like a fuse, lighting up the cave dwelling.
"Yes, many Tian family members have expressed dissatisfaction with us."
"If this continues, no one will listen to us anymore."
"Yes, several Tian family members have quietly hooked up with the Jin family and the Sun family."
....
During the discussion, Tian Futang frowned tightly.
He knew that the most important reason why he could lead the Tian family was that he could bring benefits to the Tian family.
Once he loses these, he is no different from a bad old man.
Tian Haimin said anxiously: "How about we lift the contact with Sun Yuhou again and find a way to take him down. Then won't we be able to get a quota?"
This idea was quickly approved by the Tian family.
"Yes, Sun Yuhou is an honest guy. Let's find a way to set a trap for him."
"As long as we catch him, we will ask him for twenty quotas... no, thirty quotas."
"We can still sell these places."
"Snapped!"
While they were discussing vigorously, Tian Futang slammed the table and said loudly: "They are a bunch of idiots. Haven't you seen it yet? Sun Yuhou is a puppet. The real person who calls the shots is Li Weidong. If we want to change this dilemma, it's best to
The best way is to capture Li Weidong."
When they heard that they were going to deal with Li Weidong, the Tian family members who had been chirping out ideas just now fell silent.
