Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

About two-quarters of an hour later, Liu Fan and three others came to the door together.

Brought the news that Liu Maolin and Liu Maoye agreed that the three of them would go to the kiln entrance.

"My dad said that if it's cheap, let me bring back some bricks." Liu Yan said.

Since everyone at home still had things to do, especially Liu Yan, the daughter-in-law at home was pregnant and the children were young and still needed someone to take care of them. After asking about the time of departure tomorrow, they went home first.

Liu Fan and Liu Shan chatted with Liu Fusheng and Nian for a while, and then returned home.

After having dinner and washing up that day, Chang Sheng urged Liu Yu to rest quickly.

Today, this man dragged him and a car back and forth for more than twenty miles. Even if he could bear it, it would be uncomfortable to walk with his feet on the ground.

Before leaving, Liu Yu carefully looked at the floor of Changsheng's room and saw that there was no clutter on the floor, so she left with confidence.

The rooster crowed three times on the second day. Liu Yu quickly dressed and got up. There were also shuddering sounds from the next room. Liu Yu heard the noise and hurriedly walked in. Seeing Chang Sheng about to get up, she pushed him down again. Go back to bed.

"Go to sleep, I've packed everything up, and it'll be in vain if you wake up."

"At least I'll leave after having a hot meal, and I'll be a little warm."

Changsheng frowned slightly.

"Yesterday when I was cleaning up the stove, I left a bowl of pimple soup in the pot. I'll heat it up later. Don't worry, it won't freeze me."

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he didn't waste any more time, turned around and walked out. The sky was still dark and there was still some time before dawn. Liu Yu went to the kitchen, added half a bowl of water to the pot, and started to heat up the rice.

When the pimple soup was bubbling, Nian and Liu Fusheng walked in.

"This is the chestnut cake from yesterday's Kang. Take it with you and eat it when you're hungry." Nian handed the wrapped oil paper bag to Liu Yu.

"Hey, grandpa and grandma, please go indoors. It's very cold right now. Don't soak in it to avoid leg pain."

After eating and packing, Liu Yu went back to the house, put a money bag in her pocket, and set off pushing the cart.

Under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, Liu Fan and three others were already waiting there. Now they gathered together and without any further words, the cart left the village.

A few people walked through the streets of Xujiaba. It was dimming. Except for a few breakfast shops, the rest of the vendors had not yet set up their stalls.

When a few people walked all the way to the ladle mouth, it was already bright. They went to the place where the stalls were set up yesterday to find out where the defective products were from the kilns and porcelain factories, so they hurried along the road.

Different from the terrain of Zhuyuan Village, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, there are no mountains and forests in Yaokou. Except for the various trees planted in the village, looking around, you can see everything except the villages dotted here and there.

The kiln factory and the porcelain factory are located respectively, not far apart.

According to the itinerary of several people, the first thing they encountered was the porcelain factory. When they arrived, many people were already waiting outside the porcelain factory. A few were pushing carts, and more people were carrying baskets on their backs or carrying bamboo baskets and canes. basket.

Seeing a few more people coming, all pushing carts, they couldn't help but frown and looked at them warily.

"These young people, you must be from other places."

An old man stepped forward to talk. Seeing Liu Yu and others nodding, he continued: "Most of the porcelain and pottery produced by this porcelain factory is not good. You can go there, the ones produced there are better."

Several people looked intently in the direction of the old man's finger, and saw that the porcelain factory in the distance was indeed larger, but the number of people gathered at the door was far less than the one in front of them.

"Uncle, there are not many people there." Liu Shan took a step forward, a little speechless. They looked so easy to deceive, and he wanted to send them away, but the excuse he used was too perfunctory.

"Why am I lying to you? We mostly pick up some usable pieces of porcelain for home use. Although it's free here, there really aren't many good porcelain and ceramics."

The old man pointed to another porcelain factory in the distance: "You have come all the way to pick up some bargains and sell them back. You should go over there. Although the porcelain from that porcelain factory is not very good-looking, the bowls are still bowls. , a pot is a pot, you can always make two."

Nothing could be seen on Liu Yu's face, but Liu Fan and Liu Shan were moved in their hearts. They looked at each other, then pulled Liu Yu and Liu Yan. The four of them discussed it and saw that the old man did not look like a liar, so they were doubtful. to the porcelain factory.

"Ah Yu, have you been thinking about selling these defective products for resale?" Liu Fan said.

"I have this idea. I heard someone talking about it yesterday, so I thought about getting some back. During the twelfth lunar month, I would bring them to the town and sell them."

"But you have to see the extent of the defective products from the porcelain factory before you can tell." Liu Yu didn't hide anything and told the truth.

Liu Yan was a little tangled. He originally wanted to take a cart of burned bricks back and slowly save them for building a house and laying a foundation, or whatever he did, there would always be something useful.

Now seeing Liu Yu and his cousin looking like second-rate dealers preparing to sell porcelain, he wondered whether he should follow them.

Several people pushed the cart all the way to an open space not far from the porcelain factory. Liu Yu originally wanted to find someone to inquire about the quality of the porcelain and ceramics produced by the porcelain factory.

But seeing everyone staring at their brothers defensively, and seeing these seven or eight people all pushing carts forward, they stopped trying to inquire about each other, and in their hearts they believed the old man's words.

Soon, the door of the porcelain factory opened, and a well-dressed middle-aged man came out. Judging from his appearance, he should be the manager of the kiln factory.

The middle-aged man glanced at the people waiting outside the door and said loudly: "Old rules, each person pays one hundred cents per car, and you pick as you go. Just don't destroy the defective porcelain and pottery in the warehouse."

The people in front of the queue were obviously not here for the first time. As soon as the steward finished speaking, he reached for money from his pocket, handed over a bunch of money, and pushed the cart directly in.

"Master, this is the first time we brothers have come back today. Can you let us go in first and take a look around? I'm not afraid of your ridicule, master. Our family has a small financial background, so we can't help but be a little timid."

Liu Fan took a step forward and smiled flatteringly at the manager, his attitude was very humble.

The steward looked at them and saw that several of them were wearing coarse cotton and linen clothes. Although the clothes were shabby, they were still neat, so he knew that these were people who lived diligently and diligently.

Not intending to embarrass them, he nodded slightly: "Come in, I am not a gentleman. My surname is Huang, and I am the manager of this porcelain factory."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Huang." Liu Fan followed Shan Ruliu.

The four people followed the steward into a warehouse. They saw that the warehouse was densely packed with porcelain and pottery. The few people who came in before them were already selecting. Some were quick-sighted and moved piles into the car, and some were still carefully picking them. Search carefully.

"You go in and take a look. They are all here. You pay one hundred pence and you can take as much as you want with you. The only thing is that you cannot come back in after you go out. Also, handle it with care when choosing and don't destroy it. Porcelain and pottery in the warehouse.”

Manager Huang stepped aside to let a few people in and take a closer look.
