Rebirth Delay

The next day, Shi Yan went to the willow tree at the entrance of the village and went to the brick kiln not far away with the three uncles.

Shi Yan didn't bring Xu Ze with him. In his previous life, he heard that some brick kiln bosses were very evil, and often tricked some child laborers into working for free, and only gave them a steamed bun for three meals a day.If it was him who was 13 years old in his previous life, it would be too late to hide.But now he, following a few uncles from the same village, is not so afraid anymore.Big deal, come back quickly if it doesn't look good, and find another job to do.If it's just for physical strength, then he can try it.

But he was worried that the cute and cute Xu Ze would be targeted, so even though Xu Ze hugged him and begged for a long time, he didn't agree to bring him along.Before leaving, Shi Yan gave Xu Ze a lot of homework problems and sent him to the old man's house.

The brick kiln factory is not too big.The facilities are poor these days, and the boss is reluctant to spend more money on expanding the factory.Thinking of so many workers, how much wages go out every day, the boss may be very distressed.

Seeing Uncle Han and the three coming over with Shi Yan, the foreman didn't say anything, he just asked how old he was, and when Shi Yan said he was 16, he nodded and led them in.

After writing down their names in the house, the foreman told them that the adobe thrown here is calculated according to the number of finished products.A brick is a dime, more work pays more.A novice can hit three hundred yuan a day, and a skilled one can hit five hundred yuan.That means a salary of 50 to [-] yuan a day, and thousands of yuan a month.

Such a huge salary is indeed very enviable.But there are not many people who can really work in the brick kiln factory, because this job is really not something ordinary people can do.

This is only realized after time-delay observation.

Throwing bricks is not a simple matter.

First of all, the mud must be dredged, soaked in water, and mixed into a moderately soft and hard mud that can be used to throw bricks.This step is very critical. If the mud cannot be done properly, it means that there is a high possibility of unshaped adobes in the subsequent adobe breaking process.If it is not formed, it cannot be recorded in the total, and it is considered a waste of money.

When the mud is well mixed, adobes can be made.Workers use their hands to form a ball of brick mud, hold it high above their heads, then forcefully drop it into the brick box on the platform, and then quickly pull it through the brick mold with a steel wire, scrape off the excess mud and throw it into the mud pile next to it.One adobe box can make three bricks, hold the adobe mold, sprinkle a handful of sand on the countertop, turn it upside down and take out the brick mold, leaving three bricks on the countertop.Then continue to repeat the previous action, and then hit the second brick.This is not the end, and then the bricks on the table will be piled up one by one on the open space outside to dry.When the adobes are completely dry, the adobes have to be piled up. After the foreman comes to count them, they will be transported to the kiln on a shelf truck.

Even if Shi Yan was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel trembling when he saw those men sweating profusely, their eyes dull, and their hands mechanically moving.On the contrary, Uncle Han and the others have high fighting spirit, and they all want to become skilled workers right away when they hear that hard work pays more.

If you are really a strong man, you will really get rich after working in this kind of brick kiln factory for a year.

But Shi Yan understood that before these men came, they should have been as high-spirited as Uncle Han and the others, focused on making a lot of money, but as time passed, they became mechanical labor, and people became dull.

He was a little thankful that he only worked for a few days and had survived these few days with all his might. He would never come to this kind of place to seek a living again.

Following the demonstration of people around him, Time Delay also started his first attempt.

Wet adobes are heavy and take a lot of effort to lift.Although Shi Yan often ran in the village and practiced push-ups at home in order to strengthen his body, he already had strong muscles in his arms, but he still felt strenuous.

Shi Yan reckoned that depending on his physical strength, it would be considered a lot if he could drop 100 yuan a day.

In order to take care of him nearby, Uncle Han and the others worked not far from him, and looked up at him from time to time.

The feeling of soreness and weakness slowly came up, the wet bricks lifted above the head became heavier and heavier, and the hand completely lost strength, as if the lump of mud was about to fall towards the top of the head, Shi Yan was both helpless and self-deprecating smiled.He thought his strength was strong enough, and he tried his best to reach 100 yuan, but when he fell to the fifth yuan, he felt a little weak.

The arm doesn't feel like his own anymore, it's a bit like a prosthetic.

The people around didn't speak, just kept their heads buried in their work.The sweat dripped down his forehead, cheeks, and bridge of the nose, and his whole body was drenched in a short while.When the adobe was over the top, the originally whitish sun felt dazzlingly bright at the moment, Shi Yan couldn't help closing his eyes, his hands drooped down, and the lumpy mud fell back into the mud pile.

Opening his eyes, Shi Yan couldn't help laughing.In the state of extreme fatigue, the memory of the previous life unexpectedly popped up to cause trouble.

He remembered that when he followed Liu Zi, the training was extremely brutal. At that time, he felt like he had been thrown into a pack of wolves. Everyone looked at him with ill intentions. They kicked him and beat him with their fists. face and stomach, and stoned him.But Liu Zi said that this is all for training him, as long as he becomes stronger, no one will dare to bully him.So he trained day and night and got injured until he knocked down those who looked down on him and bullied him one by one.

At that time, he felt that he was strong, that he had won, that he finally survived on his own.He started to be proud, and his temper became more and more irritable, until he was knocked down again.Being favored by He Tao, he received extremely rigorous training again, and exercised to the limit every day. In the end, he stood up again and became the strongest of all He Tao's brothers.

The training at that time was hard and tiring for him, but for the sake of his self-esteem, he could grit his teeth and persevere with blood and sweat.But the current hard work, he also feels tired and bitter, but it is not for himself, but for his lover.At that time, he only had goals, but now he has faith.

Uncle Han looked over again. He also felt tired. He raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and his eyes were worried.

Shi Yan smiled at him, and waved his hand to show that it didn't matter.

The posture of standing and bending was repeated, and half of his waist seemed to be broken.Sometimes when he suddenly lifts the ball of mud over his head, his eyes will be blood red for an instant, and then Ji Yan will close his eyes hard, and when he opens his eyes, his vision will be clear again, and then he will slam the ball of mud into the adobe mould.

Latency learns quickly.The men around him who could see that he was still young were a little surprised, because they could feel that Time Lap was cutting excess mud faster.

Seeing their admiration, Shi Yan was slightly speechless.I thought I was wearing a 13-year-old face, but I was actually 32 years old.

Seeing that Shi Yan was buried in his work again, and he didn't complain about the non-stop work, Uncle Han felt relieved, looked at the puddle of mud on the ground, and was also a little discouraged.But what to do?Always keep going.Could it be that he is not as good as a child?Kneading his sore and limp hands, Uncle Han inserted his hands into the mud again.

The kiln factory provides meals at noon.

Shi Yan took the big lunch box and followed the big team past the big iron buckets.Of course, the dishes are not good, as is always the case with big pot meals.The lady who cooks rice is not biased because of him. One spoonful of vegetables per person, three pieces of fat meat, and two spoonfuls of rice, all weighed firmly.

Shi Yan picked it up, thanked him with a smile, which caused the woman to give him a strange look, then bowed her head and went to cook again.

Uncle Han sat on a rock beside him and waved at him, and Shi Yan walked over with his lunch box.

"Oh, it's been a long day." Uncle Li moved his shoulders and waist, grinning his teeth as if he couldn't stand up straight, and shouted in pain, "I need to put some plasters on tonight, or I won't be able to get up tomorrow. "

"Yeah, it's not a job done by humans. Shi Yan, are you tired?" Uncle Han couldn't help asking when he saw that Shi Yan was working hard and didn't speak.

Shi Yan grinned, "Tired, of course I'm tired. It's about making money, how can you make money if you're not tired." As he spoke, he looked hungry.

Uncle Sun, who had never spoken to Shi Yan in that room, said, "We guys are so old, and Shi Yan hasn't understood yet. Tired is tired, and we earn a lot of money. The child is going to grow up in the past two years. Seeing that we are about to marry a daughter-in-law, no matter how tired we are, we have to work hard for a few more years while we still have strength. When our son gets married, we will plant the land and enjoy the happiness at home."

Uncle Li nodded, "Well, that's what you said. We worked so hard, but it was for the sake of the children. But Xiao Yan also worked so hard, which really embarrassed me as an uncle. Okay, let's work harder, we can't Not even a child."

Shi Yan just smiled and didn't speak.

Uncle Han asked again, "Where's Ozawa?"

With his mouth in his mouth, Shi Yan answered vaguely, "I'm just taking care of Grandpa's house, I didn't let him come."

"That's right," Uncle Han said, "This place is full of smog, children should not come here. I don't know if the people here have any crooked intentions. We have to be more careful."

"Well," Shi Yan said, "I thought so too."

After a pause, Shi Yan asked again, "Uncle, how much did you fall this morning?"

Uncle Han said: "More than 100 yuan." Uncle Li and Uncle Sun also answered, and they were almost the same.

Time delay nodded.But he was a little unwilling in his heart. He reckoned that if he dropped 50 yuan in the morning, it would be good.Several times he was a little out of breath, as if the sky was going to collapse.And the originally short few hours, in his heart, seemed like centuries, and it would never end.

Putting down the empty lunch box, Shi Yan took a sip of cold water to suppress the food he hastily swallowed.Leaning against the wall, basking in the sun and squinting his eyes.The body is exhausted to the extreme, but the spirit is fine.At this moment, he just wanted to go home and meet Xu Ze.As soon as he closed his eyes, all he saw was Xu Ze's clean and delicious face.

"Don't rest too long, get up and walk around later," Uncle Han said, "If you rest for a long time, you won't be able to move."

Latency understands.After sitting in the sun for a while, I turned around and moved around.I made a backward movement, and my spine felt twisted after working hard all morning.

Shi Yan frowned and thumped his shoulder blades.

After eating, the workers began to work again in full swing.

I don't know if it's because the body is tired and numb, but Shiyan's hands and feet are more agile in the afternoon than in the morning, as if he has broken through the limits of his body, with a strange sense of comfort, as if he is tireless.More than 60 bricks were assembled in one afternoon.

The foreman is just counting, and when he quits, he can calculate the money together, not on a daily basis.

So when it was almost dark, Shi Yan stopped and decided to go home.

Uncle Han and the others were still struggling, so Shi Yan said goodbye and walked towards Sunjiacun by himself.

Before reaching the entrance of the village, Shi Yan saw Xu Ze sitting under the big willow tree, propping his chin with one hand, and holding a willow branch in the other hand, swinging it from side to side in boredom.The small figure seemed a little lonely.

I feel a little guilty.Shi Yan stood where he was, and called out, "Ozawa."

The child over there suddenly turned his head, and then a big smile appeared on his face, he threw away the willow branch, and rushed towards Shi Yan.

Shi Yan didn't care about his dirty body, he missed Xu Ze very much because he didn't see him all morning.Seeing Xu Ze rushing over, he smiled, opened his hands, and hugged Xu Ze into his arms.

"Brother, you're finally back." Xu Ze's voice was filled with faint tears.

"What's the matter?" Shi Yan looked at him tenderly, his lips were a little chapped, and he moistened them tightly before placing a kiss on Xu Ze's head.

"Brother, I miss you." Xu Ze Nuo Nuo said.

The soft voice tickled Shi Yan's heart like a feather, and Shi Yan couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Why, is it okay to take care of Grandpa's house?"

"Okay," Xu Ze said, looking up at Shi Yan, hugging his waist without letting go, his wet eyes were like the sky after rain, clear and bright, "But I want my brother."

Shi Yan only felt that the exhaustion all over his body had faded away.At this moment, there is only this little person in my heart.Nothing else, see no more.
