A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

"The man jumped into the water with a swish." The old sister-in-law danced and described the scene by the river.

Li Zheng's wife looked at her sister-in-law in surprise and asked, "Then what? Has anyone been rescued?"

"The man held it under the water for a long time before he fished out Dongya's child. When the child came up, her face was frighteningly purple. Her mother even stretched out her hand to try, but she was out of breath."

"Oh my God, that baby is dead?!" Li Zheng's wife was frightened and slapped her chest.

Chen Lizheng also turned around in shock, and the tobacco bag in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

[Is there someone dead in the village? It's such a big deal, and this old sister-in-law is still chatting here. No, he had to quickly go to Zhang Juhua's house to take a look. 】

The old sister-in-law was talking about something wonderful. When she saw Li Zheng turning around and preparing to go out, she immediately shouted, "Brother, don't go, listen to me! Do you know who is saving people?"

Before Li Zheng and his wife could answer, the old sister-in-law couldn't wait to say it herself, "It's the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family!"

"What's even more amazing is that Dong Ya was so angry that everyone thought she was dead, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family actually dragged the baby all over the place and saved her life!!!" The old man My sister-in-law danced and imitated Chen Changsheng's running back and forth.

"All the dead have been saved?!" Li Zheng's wife immediately put down the rice dumplings in her hands and stopped wrapping them.

Chen Lizheng, [The doll is not dead? Startled him. 】

He put down the hand covering his chest, picked up the tobacco bag on the ground, and took a deep breath, "You old sister, can you finish what you said in one go? She died all of a sudden, and then came to life again, it scared my heart. They were all jumping."

"No, everyone was shocked. Don't tell me, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family is really amazing! She saved a life." The old sister-in-law was very unhappy, she just wanted this effect.

The three old men in the yard continued talking, but they did not expect that the person in question would actually come.

Seeing Chen Changsheng come in, the old sister-in-law immediately shut up and left the yard, "Brother, there is still work at home, I will go back first."

Li Zheng's wife also stopped what she was doing, got up and went into the house to pour a bowl of water for Chen Changsheng, "Eldest wife of the Chen family, I heard that you just saved Dongya's baby's life. Amazing! Really amazing! "

In the past, she had looked down upon the Chen family. The man who owned the original owner was a bad gambler who borrowed money everywhere in the village. He also treated his mother-in-law and four children very badly. Even every household in the village did not like Chen Changsheng. Dealing with one family.

Unexpectedly, this humble eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family actually saved someone today.

Moreover, she also heard from her old man that the big issue of digging ditches by the field was first brought up by Chen's wife, including the specific method of digging, and they were discussing how to build a water wheel in the past two days.

Although she didn't understand it, the old man said it was a very powerful thing. All these things made her wife take a serious look at Chen Changsheng.

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family is here!" Li Zheng happily opened his mouth and asked Chen Changsheng to sit down.

"Uncle Li Zheng, please call me Dafu Niang from now on." Chen Changsheng took the water and took a sip.

Li Zheng responded.

"Mother Dafu, Ma Daqiang came to me excitedly early in the morning and said that he had completed the waterwheel according to the drawings. When are we going to give it a try?"

"How about today? Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival and we have to make rice dumplings at home today. How about we wait until after dinner?"

Chen Lizheng's family also wanted to make rice dumplings and have a reunion dinner. He nodded in agreement, "When you go back later, just tell Ma Daqiang and let him remember to come out at night."

"Okay. Uncle Li Zheng, look at this." Chen Changsheng smiled and handed over the fired bricks.

Satoshi's attention was immediately diverted by the red brick in front of him. He took it and tried to break it with both hands, but found that the brick in his hand did not move at all.

"Dafu Niang, is this the red brick you have been thinking about for the past few days?"

Chen Changsheng nodded in acquiescence.

"It's quite strong. Although the shape is not very regular, the quality is good. I just broke it off, and only some crumbs came out. In my opinion, your craftsmanship is almost as good as that of the brick kiln in the city." Chen Lizheng said. high recommendation.

There is also a brick kiln in Baishui County, which was originally specialized in firing green bricks and red bricks.

People in the county basically build their houses with blue bricks, and very few use red bricks, so those who come to buy red bricks are all country people.

However, in recent years, the people in the village have been too poor, and very few people can afford red bricks. Most of the households have houses built with yellow adobe, so the brick kilns in the city mainly use blue bricks. Red bricks are burned even less.

The brick kiln only burns red bricks in two kilns at most a year, so the price naturally goes up.

The three rooms in Chen Lizheng's home are made of blue bricks. He is very clear about the quality of the bricks. "Dafu Niang, your red bricks are really good. If the shape is better, these bricks can be used." Take it and sell it.”

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Burning bricks is actually quite simple. You just need to mix the mud first, then put it in a mold to make the shape of bricks. After the water vapor has dried slightly, you can pile them up and burn them with firewood. .

I tried to bake these bricks. Since I haven't made a model yet, the shape is a little different. If I can make them in large quantities, I will definitely have to make a model. "

Chen Changsheng said it was simple, but there were still quite a lot of tricks involved, including mixing clay, shaping, drying in the shade, laying bricks, and controlling the temperature of the kiln fire, all of which had to be carefully controlled. If it is produced in large quantities, there are more things to pay attention to.

"We shouldn't need to build a large quantity. We are just building a reservoir in the village, not a house, so we don't need so many bricks. Dafu Niang, since the bricks have been made successfully, when will we start building the reservoir?" Chen Lizheng is now If you have any ideas, I want to hear Chen Changsheng’s opinion.

Chen Changsheng said, "Uncle Li Zheng, it's the flood season right now. There's plenty of water in the rivers and mountain springs. I guess there won't be a shortage of water for a while. It's time to irrigate the fields. I think we can use them tonight." You can try the keel waterwheel first. If it succeeds, you can water the ground tomorrow.

During the watering period, I think we can arrange for someone to bake the bricks first. Once the bricks are baked, we can start construction directly. "

"Dafu Niang, your plan is very good." Li Zheng hesitated for a while, and then said, "It's just that the job of burning bricks requires a lot of people. I'm afraid that the people in the village won't be willing to do it."

Li Zheng knew very well that among the people in the village, few could take the initiative and basically only did it for money.

But Li Zheng could also understand that he could earn more than ten cash a day by carrying luggage in the city, and anyone would choose a job that paid him.

Chen Changsheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then summoned up the courage to speak, "I do have an idea."

"Say it quickly!"
