Chapter 241 brick car
Chapter 241 Brick Car
The New Year has passed and the Festival has passed. Although the New Year atmosphere has not yet dissipated, Kaoshantun has already begun to become busy.
On the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, forty carriages were assembled. Although the solar term had already been played (the beginning of spring) and everyone had eaten the carrots, the old saying goes, "Don't be happy when you fight spring, there is still a month of cold weather."
Especially morning and night, it is similar to the cold weather. The car owners dressed almost the same: they had dog-skin hats on their heads, sheepskin coats on their feet, and black shoes on their feet. They sat on the left side of the shaft, and they were all full of energy.
There were a young man in each car, with a total of more than 80 people. In the first car, Fatty, Lin Qingshan, Big Braida Qiqi and Yaya were sitting. Yaya wanted to go back to Beijing and Big Braida gave her.
According to the agreement before the New Year, I went to the county brick factory to pull bricks first. The brick factory itself does not have a delivery truck, and it produces so many bricks a year, so I can’t afford it at all, so I just find a way to pull it. The unit can use Dajieli, and usually uses a hand-held tractor and four-wheeled one. There is no such thing as backing Shantun, so I simply use a carriage to go on the battlefield.
Forty large carriages, two or three hundred meters long, were swaying and leaving Kaoshantun. The fat man sat on a sack, his body was shaking, chatting with Lin Qingshan in a mess.
The sacks are filled with fodder. It takes a full day to go from Kuoshantun to the county town. Therefore, before the troops move, food and grass will go first.
The sound of horse hooves croaking, and on the big trees by the roadside, flowers and magpies chirping, their tails swaying, and then they flew from the tree to the ground.
It is said that magpies are auspicious birds, so few people suffer disasters, and they are generally not afraid of people. Qiqi looked at the black and white magpies' tail raised, and it seemed as if they were unstable. She couldn't help but laugh and muttered: "The flower magpies have a long tail. After marrying a wife, I forgot my mother--"
At this time, a few big birds flew from a distance, all over, with a mouth, a hoarse and extremely unpleasant voice. They were a group of black pisses.
The big whip of the car owner exploded in the air, scaring the black crows away, leaving only a nasty croaking sound.
Although the size is similar to that of a magpies, the treatment of crows and magpies is very different. Magpies are loved by everyone, but crows are broom stars. Everyone feels discouraged when they meet it.
However, there are exceptions in everything. The fat man yelled twice and said to the owner of the car: "Uncle Boss, this crow is also a good bird. You can't judge people by appearance. Crows have the virtue of giving back to you. It's better than Hua Xi Magpie who marries a wife and forgets her mother."
The owner of the car was very happy: "I just heard it sound bad, and I was afraid that we would not go out and do things smoothly."
The two little girls pointed their little fingers at the boss and grandfather: "Superstition!"
Qiqi even stood up from the car, waved her little arms, and shouted crisply in her mouth. The crow that had already flew away turned back again, one of which slowly landed, and then landed on Qiqi's hand, and looked at Qiqi with his eyes.
The fat man knew that among birds, the intelligence of crows can definitely rank among the top few. You can tell at the glance of this guy that some crows can also use simple tools, such as grass sticks.
The crow's feathers are shiny, and they look very beautiful. They are black and pretty. They are in Qiqi's hands and seem to be a little unwilling to leave.
"Qiqi, you don't want to raise crows, are you?" Captain Li was also a little worried. The people were a little superstitious. If the crows fell into someone's house, they would feel discouraged and would definitely not be popular.
"Fly--" Qiqi raised her arm, and the crow flew with her wings. It wandered around reluctantly for a few times before then flew to her companions in the distance.
"Yes, Qiqi is so obedient and beautiful. If you want to raise a parrot, you have to raise it and you can speak." Captain Li immediately began to praise Qiqi for her selfless behavior.
Qiqi blinked: "Yes, Xiaobai is too heavy and too big, it's just right to raise a parrot."
"Haha, Dad Ye has it at home, I'll call him to bring it to you." Yaya called Ye Haibo, too, but in order to distinguish it from Lin Qingshan, she called him Dad Ye.
The two little girls immediately pushed their heads together and began to discuss. The fat man grabbed his head: I'm afraid the team at home will grow again, but it seems good to raise a few birds.
In Kaoshantun, there are also many young and half-old birds raising birds. Every year after the snow falls, yellow birds with yellow feathers fly over, and Su birds, with red belly and head tops, all of which are very beautiful.
Bird raising has special cages, woven with sorghum stalks and bamboo strips, like a small house, with two small bottle caps in it, one filled with water and the other filled with millet.
When catching birds, you use a special rolling cage and put an old bird inside, commonly known as "old oil son", to seduce the bird outside inside.
The rolling cage is more refined, with an active mechanism on both sides. You can roll down as soon as you step on it, and you can put the greedy bird in the cage.
After it snows, you can see half-birth-old boys carrying cages and hanging the rolling cages high on the tree. There will always be gains after a day.
These birds are not very energetic, and they can feed them with some food and drink. Some of them are not. For example, if you put them in a cage, you will not eat or drink and you will be angry to death in a few days.
When he heard that Qiqi wanted to raise birds, Captain Li immediately patted his chest and promised: He would definitely give Qiqi the best bird cage.
Qiqi shook her head: "Captain Grandpa, it seems that she doesn't need a cage."
"Yes, who are we Qiqi? How can we be like those stinky brats?" Captain Li laughed loudly and laughed all the way.
The carriage galloped all the way, and passed by some villages and towns, and they would come out to watch the fun. They all said, "There are so many carriages in this house to send brides!" Then they started looking for the bride and groom. They all thought it was a convoy for sending brides, but what disappointed them was that there was no red turban they were looking for in the car.
The fat man was sitting in the car and laughing, while the big braid was so embarrassed that his face was full of fever. She was the only big girl in the car, so most of everyone's eyes were on her.
"Fatty, when you get married, we will marry you in forty carriages." Captain Li also joked.
"Forty cars are not enough, you must find eighty cars." The owner of the car swung his whip, and the crisp sound was obvious. It was the material of the car.
Da Braida finally couldn't sit still, so she pulled Qiqi and Yaya to move the position and went into the car behind.
After walking for more than five hours, I saw the county town. The brick factory was located in the northeast corner of the county town and was located on the edge of the city. Therefore, except for the car owner who drove the carriage to deliver the three people with big braids, the other carriages turned around at the east gate of the county town and turned to the brick factory.
Lin Qingshan picked up Yaya and pasted her little face, her eyes full of kindness: "If you want to have a dad, write a letter."
Yaya nodded, tears surging in her little eyes: "Dad, I'll come when the summer vacation is over." After that, she hugged Lin Qingshan's face, kissed her fiercely, struggled to the ground, and left by car.
Lin Qingshan watched the carriage walk away and murmured: "Yaya, you won't blame dad for being cruel, right--"
When I saw the brick factory from a distance, the first thing I saw was the large brick kiln. What a good guy, it was hundreds of meters long and stood tall. There was a large sand pit in the distance, and the deepest part was several feet.
In this season, brick blanks are afraid of freezing, so they cannot be produced. In addition, the New Year has just passed, so there are not many vehicles in the brick factory to pull bricks, which seems relatively deserted.
He stopped the carriage first, and the bosses pulled down the grass bag and added fuel to the horse. Lin Qingshan led the fat man and Captain Li straight to the office.
The office is a row of red brick houses, probably newly built last year. It is surrounded by brick walls, neat and beautiful. Is the brick factory the most inseparable? This thing is the thing.
When I entered the ground, the ground was paved with red bricks. Lin Qingshan had been here and was familiar with the road. He went directly to the factory director's office.
When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man with big faces standing up from his desk with a newspaper on it. When he saw Lin Qingshan, he hurriedly said hello: "Here, haha." Obviously, Lin Qingshan impressed him very deeply. Originally, if there were men with long hair in these days, there would be no few in the country.
When the fat man saw the factory manager's big face in the shape of a Chinese character, he nodded secretly: It was obvious that he was from a brick factory.
Lin Qingshan shook hands with the factory director, and then introduced to everyone: "This is Director Hu."
Captain Li and the fat man stepped forward to shake hands with Director Hu. When Director Hu saw Captain Li, he had no reaction. When he saw the fat man, he thought to himself: This Kuanshantun is quite talented, with long hair and big fat man, one is more strange than the other.
So he coughed and said to Lin Qingshan: "It's really a coincidence. I just received a notice from the Construction Committee, telling us that the county will build several major projects this year, requiring a large number of red bricks. Therefore, the projects in Kushantun must be lined up backwards. There is no way, we have to take care of the state-owned units first."
Captain Li was anxious when he heard this: "Forty large carriages came outside, just waiting to pull bricks. Why don't you keep your word?"
Director Hu looked puzzled: "This is also a need for the country. Our grassroots units can only implement it as required."
The fat man scratched the back of his head, and then happily said to Captain Li and Lin Qingshan: "You guys go out first, I will talk to Director Hu alone."
Captain Li winked at the fat man and said: Fat man, calm down, don’t stretch out your hand.
Lin Qingshan shook his hair and looked bright: "Director Hu, this matter does have nothing to do with the brick factory, but I already have the approval from the Construction Committee and your signature on it. I am going to go directly to the provincial capital to petition, or to the central government, you can take a look at this."
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, folded it in a square shape, and handed it over. Director Hu took it and saw that the red characters "General Office of the State Council" were particularly dazzling. After looking again, it turned out to be a transfer order to invite Lin Qingshan to work there.
Director Hu was a little dizzy: Didn’t he say that this person was from Shantun? Why did he run to the State Council all at once? How many levels are there in the gap?
The fat man smiled in his heart: What a big brother Lin, he can also pull the tiger's skin and hold the flag, but didn't he refuse to work there?
"Then I'll call for instructions." At this point, Director Hu didn't dare to make decisions, so he could only ask his superiors for instructions.
The fat man was quite tactful and knew that there might be something wrong with it, so he led Captain Li and Lin Qingshan out first, which would make it easier for others to speak.
When he arrived in the corridor, the fat man whispered: "Brother Lin, what's going on with your order? Didn't you take it back?"
Lin Qingshan smiled and a little cunning appeared on his face: "Haha, of course I have to keep one's hand. If you boy is not good enough to me, I will leave immediately and throw another branch."
The fat man yelled: "It would be strange if you can walk, unless you carry Daqingshan away."
At this moment, the door of the factory manager's office opened, and Director Hu poked his head out from inside: "Several people, please come in."
