Zhu Qinghe took his wages and stood in the shade. He sat down against the wall and wanted to rest for a while before leaving, but accidentally fell asleep.

After Zhu Yuliang and Luo Wangwang came out of the office after talking about things, they saw Zhu Qinghe, who was leaning against the wall and looked unattractive. He turned his head and said to Luo Wangwang, "Your brick kiln factory is embarrassing to our village chief, not to mention the village leaders. Take it seriously, even the leaders in the county are full of praise for you, this time the leaders come to inspect, you can have some snacks, report the work well, the leaders are happy, and if there are any policy resources, they will definitely favor you."

Luo Wangwang followed his gaze and said with a smile: "The village chief is right, don't worry, I will prepare well, and I will definitely not embarrass our Zhujia Village."

On such a hot day, after just a few words, he was sweating profusely after walking a few steps, and even his shirt was wet. Luo Wangwang walked up to Zhu Qinghe with his hands behind his back, and pushed him: "Boy, wake up." The man opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about getting sick when I sleep here. Is it unbearable?" They will give you the same money."

Zhu Qinghe wiped his face and stood up. Hearing Luo Wangwang's words, he quickly shook his head and refused: "It's already difficult for you to let me work in the factory. If you come here...Uncle Luo, I don't want to cause trouble for you. Eat hard, haven't I blocked those people's mouths these days?"

Looking into those clear eyes filled with the golden light of the setting sun, Luo Wangwang said with a smile, "It's really tough, up to you, there is no one in the factory now, if I didn't call you, would you still plan to sleep here all night? I'll go Pack your things and go together."

Zhu Qinghe raised his hands and thumped his sore shoulders, slept for a while, and became much more energetic. He has saved more than 100 yuan for a while, and it will take a while even if he doesn’t look for a job after school starts. Let’s go to the store first to buy An oilcloth, he can't sleep in the box all the time, and he has to buy bedding and pillows, and is thinking about how much it will cost, Luo Wangwang locked the office and came out with a bulging briefcase under his arm.

Luo Wangwang asked him: "What are you thinking about when you are so young?"

Zhu Qinghe didn't hide it, and counted with his fingers seriously: "I want to buy oilcloth, make a pillow and bedding, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there are too many things to buy."

Luo Wangwang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Now you know it's not easy? No one is helping you. It's hard to live alone. Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. Although I'm a little tired, good or bad are all my own. I can do what I want, so it's good. One person can feed the whole family without worrying."

Luo Wangwang walked forward in silence, and continued for a while before continuing: "The country has regulations that prohibit child labor. If I am caught by the relevant departments, I will be in big trouble. Do you understand?"

Zhu Qinghe's heart twitched. He couldn't bear to lose the job, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Luo, is he going to drive me away? If they find out, I'll hide quickly, so that they don't catch me. I'll come out and do it, what?" I have to figure it out myself, I know this is not a reason, I..."

Luo Wangwang signaled him to stop, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to push you away, you are a real kid, you usually don't talk much, and you work hard, I like you very much. I say this because I want you There is a bottom line, the leaders of the county will come to inspect the work in a few days, then be smart and don't move forward, if you really can't hide... Forget it, don't come that day, I will give you a day off, Money counts."

Zhu Qinghe had something to say in his heart, but he didn't know if Uncle Luo could accept his proposal. He seemed hesitant to speak, and Luo Wangwang patted his head: "If you have something to say, don't hide it, how tired you are!" .Where did your enthusiasm for me go?"

Zhu Qinghe was afraid that his thoughts would be too abrupt and cause the person in front of him to have other thoughts about him, but he didn't want to waste that day's wages in vain, so he said directly: "Uncle Luo, why don't you say hello to the school? The teacher organized the students to visit and experience life, and the county leaders will definitely be happier."

Luo Wangwang also had a quick mind. Hearing Zhu Qinghe's words, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "I really can't see it, boy, you can still come up with this idea. I heard people say that our county magistrate is very happy." Pay attention to school education, and I have put a lot of thought into this matter. I did as you said. It really showed my face and killed two birds with one stone. I was praised by the leader. The children saw the hard work of the adults, and they knew that they should be obedient and sensible. Well, I've done a good job."

Luo Wangwang put his hand on Zhu Qinghe's shoulder and said with emotion: "You told Uncle, how did you come up with this idea?"

Zhu Qinghe squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's in the text, page No. 30 of the fifth grade Chinese textbook is about visiting a chicken farm, and there are pictures on it. It doesn't make the same sense to change places, but the book says to write about feelings. , Uncle Luo, can you tell the teacher whether to write or not?"

Luo Wangwang shook his head: "This must be written. There are too many scalp children this year, even the one in my family. They don't even think about how difficult it is for his father to be outside. Don't think too much about it. I have no other intentions. Every family has its roots. It’s hard to recite. If you have anything missing, tell your uncle that you don’t need to buy the right bedding. I have new ones made by your aunt at home. When the time comes, let my little boy bring them to you to save money. Take the flowers to a proper place."

Zhu Qinghe did not refuse: "Thank you, Uncle Luo."

"If you have any good ideas, tell uncle, uncle will not treat you badly."

There is no idea, but Zhu Qinghe still knows the general situation in the future. When mechanization supports the development of society, life is not very easy for people like them who can only work hard. They travel to and from various construction sites. From the moment I choose to bend down in my life, I am destined to never be able to straighten up again. Even if I can stand out, it is a minority after all.Now the machines and equipment have started to be promoted, but no one is willing to spend money to install them, so he doesn't plan to talk to Uncle Luo about this for the time being.

There is a saying that the richer you are, the more stingy you are. They are all poor people. Whoever makes money doesn’t want to keep it in his pocket, so who is willing to take it out to buy a machine?Even if machines can save manpower and improve efficiency, the key lies in the transformation of people's concepts. He doesn't know how long this process will take.But he knows that competition has always existed. In the next decade or so, some brick kiln factories were closed and transferred because of poor profitability, but some survived. The reasons are worth thinking about.

Zhu Qinghe smiled shyly, the small shop was in front, he and Luo Wangwang said something and left before running in, don't worry about those things for now.He raised the curtain and went in. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he bumped into Mama Zhu who had bought two pieces of fermented bean curd, but he couldn't make a sound.When he was in a desperate situation, she cut off his life, and he would never forget it until his death. That day, his whole body seemed to be thrown into an iceberg, and all his emotions were sealed away, except for hatred.

Zhu Ma looked at him with a stiff expression, awkward and embarrassing, she opened her mouth without saying a word, and just left like that. The people who are connected by blood and blood seem like strangers at this moment.

Zhu Qinghe said what he wanted, and the shop owner gave it to him unhappily: "What's the matter, that's also your mother, the elder, do you still want her to bow down to you? How much enmity between relatives cannot be resolved ? Go back and say a few good words with me, who is not confused?"

The smile on Zhu Qinghe's face was light but sarcasm: "You are right, but there is nothing that can't be explained to outsiders, don't you think so?"

Zhu Qinghe passed by the door of the butcher's house, hesitated for a while before going in, weighed half a catty of meat, and planned to go back and eat fried meatballs with noodles. If Ruan Mu came today, he would be lucky.

Until it got dark, he sat in the yard facing the moon, listening to the sound of insects in the grass, he was in a daze for a while, lowered his head to clean up the two bowls, he thought he was used to being alone, only now did he realize that he overestimated I don't know when I became dependent on a person who is kind to me, and what's even more ridiculous is that the other person is a child who doesn't understand anything.

Zhu Yuliang was sitting under the eaves, frowning and smoking. His daughter-in-law was about to enter the house after washing the dishes. Seeing his solemn expression, she asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

He knocked the soot: "I saw Zhu Qinghe sleeping in the brick kiln factory today. For some reason, my heart was beating so hard that I couldn't even stop. When I met him, I always felt that there was nothing good, no, Tomorrow I have to find Wangwang to go, and let him drive people away as soon as possible."

"Look at how promising you are. Is a boy with a bigger fart worth being so strict with you? If your sister comes back to see her nephew is gone, wait and hear the scolding. Besides, Luo Wangwang is so rich. The big bosses are not afraid, so what are you worrying about? Be your village head well, and don’t regret it when someone beats you up. I went back to my mother’s house the other day and heard that the boss who has money has nothing to do and has nothing to do. If you want to become an official, you can't get into a serious unit, and this village manages so many people anyway, so you can enjoy yourself. If Luo Wangwang thinks about it, I'm afraid you really won't be able to keep your position."

Zhu Yuliang choked hard at his daughter-in-law's words, frowned even deeper, couldn't help but lit another one, if Luo Wangwang really pushed him, what else could he do in this life?He is the most dignified person in the village, how could he be so shameless as to find a job one day?

He had planned to drive Zhu Qinghe away, so he just put it down, not afraid of [-], just in case, if Luo Wangwang really had this intention, it would be good if that broom star could ruin things.

Three days later, the county leader came to the brick kiln factory in a car. Seeing that no one greeted him at the door, the secretary looked at Zhu Yuliang who was following him suspiciously: "Major Zhu, didn't you notify me? The county magistrate is here. No one came to greet you?"

The leaders of the village also looked at Zhu Yuliang with resentment. Zhu Yuliang's forehead was sweating immediately, and he scolded Luo Wangwang in his heart, and quickly said, "I informed you a while ago, and he still agreed personally. Leaders, I'm really sorry, let's go in now, and hope to let him explain to Luo after meeting."

The county magistrate had no expression on his face. He followed behind and walked into the factory gate. His eyes lit up when he saw the scene in front of him. He walked over and stood watching with great interest.

I saw Luo Wangwang standing in front of a group of children with a red scarf around his neck. He was explaining the knowledge about brick kilns. It's not your fault that you are too old, but you have also seen how much your parents have endured and sweated here to give you a better life. You should know how to be grateful, understand? After you go home, you have to help the adults Share your worries, this is a good boy and a good classmate."

The county magistrate applauded first after listening, and said to the secretary behind him: "This Luo Wangwang is really rare. Most adults just tell their children how hard it is for them. Children can't empathize with them unless they see the reality. This activity is half Okay, you go back and talk to the Education Bureau, let the schools in the county organize more meaningful activities like this, don't just focus on learning knowledge, you have to learn how to behave."

Zhu Yuliang's face changed drastically when he heard it, and his heart became more and more unhappy. Hearing the whispered praise from the leader behind him, he forced a smile and waved at Luo Wangwang.

Luo Wangwang nodded, and said to the leading teacher: "I have already greeted the workers, you can visit as you like, but you must pay attention to the safety of the children." Then he ran over quickly, facing the county magistrate Embarrassedly smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't greet the leader. I really... made an appointment with the school. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, it won't affect the children's class. I didn't expect to bump into it one day. It's not good to let the children down. Sir, please go into the office."

The county magistrate walked forward with a cheerful face. Luo Wangwang took the time to nod to the people not far away. Zhu Yuliang caught it with his sharp eyes, but he couldn't understand what it meant. The county magistrate was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't dare To pour cold water on people, I can only stand and watch Luo Wangwang talk freely.

Zhu Qinghe felt relieved. Uncle Luo said he would not bring anyone here, so he could earn his money with peace of mind.I don't know what's the matter, the closer the time to leave school, the more nervous he feels in his heart, and it's still because he has no money, he feels guilty.

Luo Wangwang was in the spotlight today, and he even put down his words in front of the county magistrate. Now that he has some ability to do things for the village, he plans to renovate the school in the village, so that students have to stop when they are not allowed to go to class. Use a basin to catch the rain that leaks from the roof, and suffer from the wind and air leakage in winter.

Zhu Yuliang was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. Not to mention being robbed of the limelight, he was also severely reprimanded by the county magistrate: "As the head of a village, he doesn't care about such a serious matter right in front of him. Rural The conditions for children to go to school are already difficult, and as village cadres, you should find a way to solve it, instead of just sitting and waiting, what are you waiting for, waiting for dumplings from the sky?"

Zhu Yuliang was really ashamed, so he could only shrink his neck to listen to the scolding, and even said that he would cooperate with Luo Wangwang to repair the school.After finally sending the county magistrate away, he was sweating all over. Looking at Luo Wangwang in a brisk mood, he said with a dry smile: "My brother is really beautiful today. Even the county magistrate praised you for doing a good job. You have not forgotten your roots. My brother is also in his heart." Admiration, it's just that you have such thoughts, why don't you tell me? We can also make a good calculation and do this well."

Luo Wangwang waved his hand and said, "Village Chief, I just had this idea. I was so excited today that I couldn't hold it back so I said it. We should discuss this matter carefully. Find a master in the village who knows this way. If you want bricks, you still need bricks." Man, I've covered everything, since I've made up my mind to do it, let's do it well."

Zhu Yuliang exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then returned home, naturally sulking for a day, his wife's words resounded more and more in his heart, and he became more and more uneasy.

And Luo Wangwang waited until work was over, stopped Zhu Qinghe, and asked him to go home with him no matter what he said, Zhu Qinghe had no choice but to follow.Everyone looked at the two with inexplicable faces, it was really strange, how could Luo Wangtang, a big boss, talk and laugh with an older child, he was not treating the juniors like that, he was actually being polite, Could it be that Zhu Qinghe has some ability?

Zhu Qinghe sat in Luo Wangwang's spacious and magnificent courtyard and looked at it carefully. His eyes were full of envy. One day he would have such a home, even richer than this. Alone, if you are in a good mood, find someone to live with yourself.

Aunt Luo brought the dishes to the table, including meat and fish. Zhang Luo asked Qinghe to eat quickly, and then laughed at Luo Wangwang: "Lao Luo, I think you are bewitched today. No matter how good things are, you can't stop laughing." No? I'm not afraid of other children's jokes."

Luo Wangwang took a sip of the wine happily, sighed and said: "If our son has half the brains of Qinghe, I can wake up laughing from my dreams. Seriously, if Qinghe hadn't told me such an idea, I would really I just waited there stupidly. I want to renovate the school. I have been thinking about it for several days. It is a great thing to benefit future generations. When I go underground, Hades will praise me He's a good man, I'm not black-hearted because of making money, right, Qinghe?"

After Qinghe knew what Luo Wangwang was thinking, he wanted to lead him to this matter. Uncle Luo is a smart man. Once he said that it always rains lightly in the classroom when it rains, he understood what he meant.At this time, he followed Uncle Luo's words and said: "You are a good person, you are willing to accept me, give me food, and take care of our difficulties. This money should be paid by you."

Luo Wangwang had another drink: "I also hope that my family, Luo Yong, can live up to expectations. At that time, I missed my studies and could write a few words. Now that the conditions are good and there is no concern at home, our family should also have a As a cultural person, I have a bright face. This time it is your kid's credit, tell me, how can Uncle Xiang thank you?"

Zhu Qinghe greedily ate two pieces of meat, and smiled naively: "Where did I get my skills, I just thought that uncle would not drive me away, as long as he could make me carry bricks and make money."

Luo Wangwang likes him more, pointing at him and smiling: "What a real boy, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to Uncle, no matter how difficult it is, Uncle will take care of it for you."

Aunt Luo ordered white noodles, filled two large bowls, and put bright red tomatoes on the small table next to her: "Pour it on the noodles and eat it. By the way, the village head and secretary will be elected in a while. Zhu Yuliang is carrying it. Do you want to try it too? Qinghe, Auntie doesn’t mean anything else, it’s just fair competition, isn’t it? In the past few years, our village has had nothing to do, and we can’t do anything. Other villages can do it in a year See some pork, what does our village have? How about you try it? I am not a fool, you want to do good deeds for the village, and I agree, God will take good care of people."

After Zhu Qinghe mixed the noodles, he sprinkled a large spoonful of chili peppers, and he felt an appetite. Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, he laughed in his heart when Aunt Luo said this, but his face was full of foolishness: "Uncle, let's eat at the end of the year." If you also send pork, you can go, I want to eat meat."

Luo Wangwang knocked him on the head: "Silly boy, you only know how to eat. I have to think about it. I don't want to offend Zhu Yuliang for the time being. By the way, Qinghe, remember to write down the land use certificate of the house you live in." Changing the name to yours, there is no harm in keeping it, who knows when it will be dismantled to you."

Zhu Qinghe nodded, and also thought it made sense, his parents would probably retort.

At this time, at Mr. Wang's house not far away, the atmosphere was stalemate, and there was a faint sense of tension. Ruan Mu's father was sitting in the room with an ugly expression on his face.
