The bicycle turned a corner and entered the alley, and he couldn't see it. Zhu Qinghe frowned. He also understood Uncle Luo's difficulties. They were all in the same village. He looked down and didn't see him, and he had to go to his uncle for anything in the brick kiln factory. It is also reasonable not to want to get involved in this mess.

Now that Zhu Qinghe has left home and lived alone, he has formed a family of his own, and has nothing to do with the old Zhu's family. The uncle is not good at making trouble for him in private because of his face, let alone with Uncle Luo. The money bag couldn't get through, so he turned and went to the brick kiln.

The Luojia brick kiln occupies the largest piece of land with the best soil quality outside the village. It is the largest brick kiln factory in the village. The chimney that usually billows black smoke has stopped at this time, and it is just in time for the bricks to be released. Now it is all on the back of people. Although it had been watered and left for two days, it was still steaming, and the people carrying the bricks were all bent over, sweating profusely from the scorching sun above their heads.

Liu Fuman had just placed a row of bricks, raised his sleeves to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and saw Zhu Qinghe peeking inside not far away, walked over and asked, "Qinghe, what are you doing here? It's hot, be careful! on."

Zhu Qinghe touched his head and grinned: "Uncle, I heard that there is a shortage of people in the brick kiln, so I want to work too."

Liu Fuman was amused by him, touched his head and said: "Go back quickly, this is not the place you should come to, adults can't stand it, let alone you, a child?"

Zhu Qinghe shook his head firmly: "I just want to stay and work. I am strong and can carry it on my back, but Uncle Luo doesn't want to accept me."

Seeing how thin he was, Liu Fuman disapproved and said, "Don't say that Luo Wangwang won't accept you. If it were me, I wouldn't want you either. You can't take it with your small arms and legs. You can't bear it until you go back and get your body strong first. Be obedient." Ah." After finishing speaking, he entered the kiln.

Hard work is hard work. People who come out of the kiln have a thick leather-like thing on their backs, and hold the bricks with their hands behind their backs. They go back and forth again and again, and their hands are burned red. Now, Zhu Qinghe looked down at his own hands. He had experienced ugly looks in his previous life, so what's the point of being scalded once?And when the weather freezes, the money will not be earned, and the days when he can make money can be counted on his fingers, and he still has to go to school, so he can't delay for a day.

For the next few days, he squatted in front of the factory. There was nothing he could do. Even if he wanted to show off, he was not a worker in the brick factory. To blame, is to ignore him life and death.

How could Zhu Qinghe not be discouraged?Going out early and coming back late, the cave was almost baked, and was bitten badly by mosquitoes. He picked up scattered wheat straw on the side of the road and set it on fire in the yard.

Luo hoped to enter the factory and instinctively raised his head to look straight ahead. In the past two days, he was stared at by Zhu Qinghe's flattering and pleading eyes.Straight past him, he said to the workers who were busy: "This batch of bricks is in urgent need, please work harder, I have someone buy a few boxes of twisted twists, and it will be enough to eat."

When the worker heard that there were mahua to eat, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, and he was even more envious of Luo Wangwang's brains, being able to make a fortune, living in a big house at home, and eating meat and drinking wine, just like the local rich man.

Zhu Qinghe remembers that mahua is still a rare commodity in the village, and no one is willing to buy it for a dime.He couldn't wait any longer. He had been standing here for the past few days, but before he could speak, he was stopped by someone. He clenched his fists and walked quickly, and said to Luo Wangwang in front of everyone: "Uncle Luo, you Give me a chance, I asked, workers can carry 1 yuan bricks a day, so can I, I will never let you lose the chain, if there is any trouble, I will blame it, okay?"

Liu Fuman was not optimistic about Zhu Qinghe's doing this at first. He couldn't bear the hardship at his age, but when his wife said that the child was worried about the tuition fees for the next semester, he pursed his lips and said, "Hopefully, this child is in trouble. He is here to start school." You came here to find a job because of the tuition fee, and you have been waiting for so many days, and you are sincere enough, so you let him try, no, he himself is too embarrassed to rely on you."

Luo Wangwang was so entangled by him that his heart softened a little. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sure, then try it. If you can recite [-] a day, I'll keep you. Go borrow a guy at the door, so don't burn you."

When Zhu Qinghe came back from rebirth, he smiled so happily for the first time, and quickly nodded in response: "Understood, Uncle Luo, if I can't carry 1 yuan, I will leave by myself, and everyone is working. If there is no reason, I will leave." Less than your uncles." Turning around, he ran to the porter.

Luo Wangwang rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "I can't tell, this kid really has a stubborn temper. If there is such a kid in the old Zhu's family, if he has a future, it will really smoke from the ancestral grave."

Hearing what he said, the others couldn't help answering: "Is he promising to be kicked out by the Zhu family? Seeing that he is young and ambitious, he has to study if he doesn't want to go to the south. If someone didn't stop him, he would have to fight Boss Zhu has started. What is such an unfilial son going to do? Besides, what’s the use of gnawing on those two pieces of paper? If he’s full of grass, he can’t even eat, so it’s better to work hard. I'll see you with my head down."

Luo Wangwang only said: "Don't bully young people to be poor, well, hurry up and work."

Zhu Qinghe took the leather from the concierge and tied it on his back, and followed a group of adults into the kiln. At the age of 14, no matter how fast he sprinted, he could only reach the shoulders of the adults.

As soon as he entered the kiln, a burst of scorching heat rushed towards his face, as if trying to plunder all the moisture in his body, and there was a pain in his eyes, so he closed his eyes and walked forward.

Most of the people here just want to see his jokes, a child boasting so much has completely become a small change in the busyness of others, Zhu Qinghe's face is calm.Only Uncle Fuman warned with a worried face: "Don't be brave, it's okay to move a few yuan less. Your Uncle Luo said that he gave you a task, so he accepted you, and he will leave you if you do more or less. When you grow up, don't hurt yourself."

Zhu Qinghe nodded with a smile, and built the burnt bricks like others did. When he came in, he had estimated how much he could bear. More than 30 bricks were stacked neatly, and he bent down to support the whole weight. On the body, within a few steps, the whole body seemed to be fished out of the water.

He walked slowly, but with a steady pace. The adults passing by him smiled and said, "If you can't bear it, don't buy so much. If the brick is broken, you will have to pay for it."

Zhu Qinghe pursed his lips and didn't speak. Others were already preparing for the second call, and he was still walking slowly. The people who watched the excitement had already seen the result, shook their heads, and were busy doing their own work, leaving him alone.But not long after, they found that this slow boy had sped up his speed at some point, and it seemed like running in the eyes of others, and the bricks he laid were worth 40 yuan.

Liu Fuman was startled and said: "Qinghe, don't be fooling around, we grown-ups are struggling, so save a few yuan."

Zhu Qinghe didn't lie to them, he was really strong, and he also did heavy work on the construction site in his previous life, he was used to it long ago, and it was just a break-in with his body just now.Many people stopped to drink water and rest. He was still busy, but it was Uncle Fuman who told him to take a rest, so he sat down and drank some water.

The bricks he recited are taller than others. At first glance, he looks like a beginner. Some people can't help but say: "Luo Wangwang picked up a treasure this time. Let's treat you as a kid." It's a fake move that only talks but doesn't practice, I didn't expect to have such ability, if it is bigger, I'm afraid it can beat us."

Zhu Qinghe smiled and didn't say anything, the kiln was too hot, so he had to drink more water.In his opinion, hard work is all about working hard, and he can't sit still, or he will only become more and more lazy, so he didn't take a long break before starting to work again.

Liu Fuman thought of his mother-in-law saying that this child might have great promise in the future, but he felt that even if he didn't have great promise, it's okay, as long as he wants to work hard to make money, he won't worry about living a bad life, and it's not easy to sit around until lunch Only when I am free.

For lunch, there was twisted water, and Zhu Qinghe himself didn’t expect to be left behind. He didn’t bring anything with him. The food these days was expensive, and some people still had no food to eat. They only lived on rice soup for a day. The old man starved to death, and now he really can't take care of himself, no wonder others don't help, so he is very grateful to Aunt Fuman for giving him some emergency aid from his own rations, and his own teacher. Still thinking of himself as a student, he will repay these kindnesses a thousand times and a hundred times in the future.

When the sun was setting and it was time to finish work, Luo Wangwang didn't show up. The people who counted said that Zhu Qinghe had carried more than 1 bricks on his back. : "Good boy, work hard."

Looking at the 13 yuan in his hand, Zhu Qinghe suddenly felt that all the hardships were worth it. There is no need to worry about the tuition fees for the start of school, and the remaining money can buy some necessities. .

When I got home, I saw Ruan Mu sitting in front of the big rock with an iron lunch box and a stack of used paper. I saw him standing up and handing over the lunch box: "Why are you not at home these two days, my mother I can’t wait for you to cook the food and let me deliver it. These let you mend the windows, and the bugs can come and go freely in your house.”

Zhu Qinghe went into the yard and unlocked it, and said with a smile, "If I have time later, I'll make up for it. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it tomorrow. Now that I've found a job and made money, go back and tell Teacher Wang, Tell her not to be busy. I am busy enough on weekdays, but I still miss me. I really feel sorry for her. It is like a dream. I can make money, continue to go to school, and take back the beans in the field after a while. Grinding it into bean flour is enough to eat, and by the way, I have to talk to the electrician about connecting electricity to the house."

It was the first time for Ruan Mu to enter the cave. He said it was warm in winter and cool in summer, but it was actually a bit boring, especially the big mud on the kang made him look a little glaring.He lives in a small western-style building in Beijing, where he sleeps on a bed. He lives with his mother on a bed covered with tarpaulins and quilts, because sleeping on it in summer will catch cold. How can this man sleep on a piece of mud?

Zhu Qinghe didn't see the expression on his face. He was covered in sticky sweat and dirty everywhere. He took off his clothes and said shirtless, "Have you eaten yet? I'll go wash up first. If you are in a hurry to go back, I washed the lunch box and sent it over tomorrow morning." As he said that, he went out, lifted the wooden board on the big urn, scooped up a basin of water, washed it thoroughly, and got rid of the soreness on his body, and felt much more comfortable. All feel fragrant.

Ruan Mu sat next to him and watched him quickly pull the rice, frowning at his eating appearance, as if he hadn't eaten enough in his life, but it was this person... At first, he wanted to say something, but finally gave up. Good lunch box, he was still sitting outside, and there were more and more mosquitoes, buzzing in his ears.

Although Zhu Qinghe was extremely tired, he couldn't fall asleep. He knew that tonight might be difficult, and his body could not cope with such heavy fatigue for a while. It seemed that it would take a few days to recover from the pain.

It was still daylight, so he got up and went outside to find some strong wooden planks. It happened that day after tidying up the house, he found an ax and a few nails in the corner. It was too hard for him to carry his back like today, and he couldn’t move with his hands behind his back. strength, and it is troublesome to put them together, so he wanted to make a box with a back brick.

Ruan Mu sat there watching him first cut the wood, and then compared the size with his hands back and forth. He frowned and thought for a while before deciding on the length, width and height. He touched his dry lips with his tongue and asked, "Qinghe Brother, where are you working? From what you looked like just now, you seemed to be rolling in the mud."

Zhu Qinghe was already busy with reinforcements. Hearing his question, he thought about it, and said directly: "How many good jobs can you do if you work hard? You are still young, and it is useless to know these. School will start soon, and you will Is it time to go back to Beijing?"

Ruan Mu stretched his legs and rubbed his heels back and forth on the ground. He didn't lift his head when he heard the words, and it took him a long time to respond.

Zhu Qinghe didn't take him seriously, and said that his nature is hard to change. In the new life, Ruan Mu's temper only improved a little. Maybe it was because he was Teacher Wang's proud disciple that he was willing to talk to him, and treated others as usual. His eyes are above the top, and he has a stinky face, as if someone owed him money and hasn't paid him back. A group of children who were originally rare in the city didn't want to approach him. .

It is inconvenient to fix things alone, Zhu Qinghe turned his head and motioned to him: "Come here and hold it for me."

Ruan Mu stretched out his hand faster, and the wooden thorn pierced into his flesh for a while. He couldn't help crying, and Zhu Qinghe gave him a blank look: "Who are you not grabbing the smooth face, why do you hit your head on it yourself? You see, those of you big cities are squeamish, put us here, let alone do this job, you have to know how to hold a needle. Well, pull out / come out / come out, and grow up."

Ruan Mu snorted coldly, he has lived so long, no one dares to criticize him, if he lost his temper in his own compound, he didn't say anything now, supported him obediently, watching Zhu Qinghe keep talking Knock knock.

Zhu Qinghe used an ax to thin the wood to a thickness that could bear the weight, and it was not difficult for him to carry it on his own.He thought of this method in the brick kiln factory, so he even brought back the piece of leather for the tie. He fixed the two things and tried it on his back. Said: "It's getting late, let's go together, I'll go get some kerosene and take you home by the way."

Zhu Qinghe thought for a while and decided to cheer up and meet Mr. Wang. Among the people he knew in his life, this teacher was the only one who really loved him. To put it bluntly, his parents were not worried about their son's future. But the teacher who has nothing to do with him is so troublesome. In his previous life, he failed Teacher Wang's heart. Even if he saw the disappointment on the teacher's face, he still stubbornly went south, and what he got in the end was a joke from beginning to end.

The small shops in the village only sell those few things, although they are monotonous, they are all beyond the reach of people.The candles Ruan Mu mentioned are still unusable for him. Even if the villagers have electricity in their homes, they save them. They are afraid that the electrician will look good when they read the meter to collect the electricity bill.

Ruan Mu saw that he was carrying kerosene in his hand, and asked the boss for a thread to use as a wick, and bought him a few candied dates, and handed him a piece of money. He doesn't eat it at home, but now he stuffed one into his mouth by accident. It's sweet and delicious.

In his previous life, Zhu Qinghe had never tasted the taste of candied dates until he left home and went to the south. Now when he saw it again, he found that he no longer wanted it as much as before. What he didn’t have before was nothing under the greater desire. , because in the future he will have a sweeter and more delicious taste than this.

Teacher Wang is preparing lessons at home after dinner. She likes the job of teaching and educating people very much. She is different from those who are single-minded about climbing up the ladder. She really wants to give her things to the children, otherwise she would not have left Beijing. It's a good city to come to this place that parents don't want to shit.Now that she finally met a good seed, she must teach Qinghe well, so that her parents can see that she is no worse than other children.It's just that she put all her energy on teaching, and she inevitably neglected her family. In addition, her husband made an unforgivable mistake, so she insisted on a divorce, which completely blew up the red circle that everyone envied.

Hearing a voice from outside the yard, she looked up and saw Zhu Qinghe and her son, the smile on her face couldn't help but widen, she stood up and said: "Qinghe is here, I still want to go see you, this time Once you encounter a teaching plan, you can’t stop.”
