“Now I realize how stupid I was, and maybe there’s more to it than that.

I just don't dare to think about it, or you can say I avoid thinking about it.

"

"Using dead wood as energy? Harvesting stone by hand? Wouldn't the resulting product be a mess? There are still many questions and many things that need to be understood in depth.

"

Jia Haoyun stood up hurriedly, opened the door to check the surroundings, and then warned Xiang Guoan, "Calm down!"

Xiang Guoan took a few puffs of his cigarette, and his trembling hands seemed to tell of the turbulent emotions in his heart.

After a while, he seemed to calm down.

This made Jia Haoyun, who was standing next to him, breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his senior brother could still maintain some rationality.

"Do you want to know? Junior brother, do you know how I did this?" When Xiang Guoan's voice returned to its usual deep and calm tone.

Jia Haoyun didn't say anything, but just looked into the other person's eyes. With the help of the faint moonlight, he could detect a face full of deep remorse.

"Liu Haizhong is mentally ill, it's true. Just for the sake of honor and so-called merit, he listened to Cui Daxing's instigation and requisitioned the scrap iron mine again.

He is ruining the lives of his brothers!"

At this point, Xiang Guoan's hands trembled even more violently, and the cigarette in his hand was unconsciously dropped to the ground.

His words seemed to no longer be able to completely conceal the worry and pain surging in his heart.

Jia Haoyun widened his eyes. He thought that the reality that the people he had tried their best to avoid, including Liu Haizhong, did not want to touch, actually became a reality at this moment.

Next, Xiang Guoan lit a cigarette, took a few puffs to calm himself down, and then continued:

“Today, Cui Dake proposed a shocking idea.

We had nearly exhausted all the available firewood in the forest, and he advocated going up to the mountains to mine iron ore for fuel.

"

Hearing this, Jia Haoyun was shocked and asked loudly: "Did Director Liu also agree with this suggestion?"

Xiang Guoan nodded and said, "Indeed, he not only agreed, but also highly praised Cui's idea and put it into practice today.

"

At this point, Xiang Guoan's tone was clearly uneasiness, and he continued: "I am afraid I will never forget that scene.

The whole mountain was flooded with iron products, and there were traces of excavation everywhere, even as people were seeking more wrought iron.

Witnessing this scene with my own eyes woke me up from a dream.

"

“Brother, this issue requires you to stick to your principles.

"

Xiang Guoan nodded slightly and replied, “I know.

Talking about these troubles makes me feel much better. Brother, you really have a keen eye and have seen through the key points long ago. Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"Brother, then..."

Xiang Guoan smiled and shook his head, saying bitterly: "I understand. At that time, I was immersed in the ** of power. When you tried to persuade me, I not only did not listen to your advice, but I might even blame you.

"

Sighing deeply again, Xiang Guoan whispered an apology: “I’m sorry, Junior Brother.

"

Jia Haoyun did not say much about his senior brother's attitude.

Looking at each other, they both smiled knowingly, and the gap disappeared at this moment.

The two chatted happily for a long time and only went to rest when it was late at night.

During this special period, although the smile remained on the surface, Xiang Guoan had already dealt with it in another way. He kept a certain distance from reality in a more covert way.

As people often say, the pain of growing up involves countless pressures and sacrifices.

Today, Jia Haoyu is transporting a truck loaded with "scrap steel". These metals are recycled from a village team not far from the commune.

This collection was particularly lucky, as some high-quality iron resources were discovered, and only one person was responsible for the transportation.

Recalling that there were still nearly 100 kilograms of unused scrap iron in his space supermarket, Jia Haoyu thought: It is a pity to transport away the good metal on the entire truck, but since it is all "scrap steel", why not use it for an equal exchange to enrich my own product library.

Although he didn't dare to take it rashly, the "scrap iron" was particularly important at the moment, and every pound of weight would be recorded in detail. Any mistake would cause chaos.

After observing an open space on the side of the road, he stopped the car and began to sort the goods in the car, sorting and screening them in that open area.

This story depicts the complex psychological transformation and the process of mutual understanding and forgiveness between Jia Haoyun and Xiang Guoan.

In this era and context, the characters' choices and actions reflect their growth and awakening, as well as the efforts and choices they make under the pressure of weighing reality.

He didn't realize it when he didn't see it, but once he noticed it, he was shocked to find quite a few iron artifacts that were regarded as "antiques".

Particularly shocking were several iron Buddha statues, which were likely disposed of as waste materials and some of which appeared to have been damaged.

When Jia Haoyun picked up the largest Divine Vision, his pupils dilated. The problem with this Buddha statue was obviously bigger - its surface seemed to have been thrown down accidentally, leaving a gap in the metal surface.

However, upon closer inspection, it revealed a dark yellow color. Gold? How could it be possible?

This layer of iron, which seems to be added for covering purposes, is actually covering a precious stone; if it were made of pure gold, it would be even more astonishing.

The weight is at least tens of kilograms!

Regardless of his doubts and curiosity, he put these Buddha statues into the "space supermarket" one by one.

There are also two iron kettles that are obviously ancient objects and an iron basin with exquisite carvings.

After calculating the total weight, he found a few iron pots and knives and stored them together; then he used the scrap iron in the "space supermarket" to replace the almost 140 kilograms of cargo weight.

Jia Haoyun entered the "Space Supermarket" in excitement and carefully peeled off the contents under the damaged metal layer bit by bit - the result shocked him even more.

The eyes, forehead and heart of the Buddha statue are all inlaid with gems.

There is also a hidden device inside, which contains a large ruby.

The true identity of the gem is unknown, but this is a mixture of surprise and uneasiness.

He had discovered a second "treasure," which in some way added a new **possible addition to his voyage of discovery.

But for him at this moment, this treasure did not immediately show much practical value. It was just a new item that added to the collection.

The task was completed after the weighing and transfer of the "scrap iron" was completed.

Jia Haoyun had a vague feeling in his heart, although perhaps it was just an intuition or **: the gas coming out of the blast furnace today had a strange smell.

It was not a feeling of freshness but a kind of smell that made the human body uncomfortable.

I did not take any other tasks that day; my recent state seemed chaotic, and I was not concerned about the development of Wang Xiaozhai.

I plan to find Wang Dali to ask about the situation and ask if he has received eggs in the past few months.

He did not go straight into the blast furnace yard, but walked away in a big circle.

Because I don’t want to see the current appearance of my co-workers with my own eyes; they have lost the enthusiasm they had at the beginning, and now they are working in a wooden state without any smiles.

When someone shouted "out of the furnace", there was no more cheering and people around hurriedly dodged to avoid being harmed by the molten iron.

While thinking and walking, I overheard a quarrel.

It is judged to be a conversation between Nan Yi, who is in charge of the logistics canteen, and Miao Zhenhe, the second apprentice of Liu Haizhong.

Nan Yi seemed furious: “I have told you many times, you don’t understand that the fine food in the storage room has been eaten.

Today I can only eat sweet potatoes."

Miao Zhenhe seemed unable to refute and said, "My master said that we should not eat too much coarse grains.

At present, people’s need for emotional stability is becoming increasingly urgent. If they continue to consume large amounts of coarse grains, it will cause public **.”

This paragraph

“I warned you long ago that you needed to prepare a mix of coarse and fine food in advance, but you were blinded by a few words of praise and didn’t listen to me.

What about now? Even the best chef can’t cook without food!

“Yinan, please remember that your solution must be resolved today.

You have to see the white flour steamed buns.

"Miao Zhenhe said nervously, what should he do if he didn't give any explanation for the white flour buns!

The recent period may be the happiest time in his life.

White flour buns are readily available, and sometimes even meat is available.

Power increased greatly.

Anyone who wants to taste the meat must pass by him. If they offend him, they will never be able to eat meat.

Yi Nan was just a cook and was originally assigned to work in the kitchen. However, since Miao Zhenhe was one of Liu Haizhong's apprentices, he had always acted according to Miao Zhenhe's wishes.

He himself doesn't bother to manage it, so if anything happens, the responsibility will still fall on Miao Zhenhe.

Miao Zhenhe was very anxious at this moment, but he seemed to find no solution. The food had been eaten, so how could he make it appear again?

“There is nothing we can do now that we have run out of white flour. Today we can only eat sweet potatoes. Even the sweet potatoes have to be distributed in limited numbers. Otherwise, there will be no sweet potatoes to eat in a few days.

"After that, Nan Yi turned and left.

At this time, Miao Zhenhe could only stare blankly at all the events and could do nothing. He had no choice but to go to Liu Haizhong, hoping to take the opportunity to complain and seek a solution.

After seeing this scene, Jia Haoyun shook his head slightly.

The situation has become quite urgent.

However, thinking about the present day, perhaps this "war" is about to end.

However, it is not known whether these people were harvesting crops in the fields.

If you wait until it’s over before doing it, you may not gain much.

move on.

Because this section of the road is on the mountain, I unexpectedly saw some familiar people appear.

Liang Ladi was seen sneaking down the mountain, her arms seemed to be full of things.

Because of the different angle of vision, Jia Haoyun could see quite clearly.

However, she did not notice his gaze.

She quietly walked to the foot of the mountain, and no one knew what she was doing. At this time, Jia Haoyun could not see her movements, but he was quite interested in it. He simply lay down, gently stretched his head out, and observed her movements without being noticed.
