60s Splendid Life

Facts have proved that their Aunt Qin was the one who helped. After a few days, his Aunt Qin quietly came to tell him that their team leader agreed to this matter.At the end of July, Lu Jin heard that even masters who could build kilns and burn bricks and tiles had been found, and the team planned to build a row of houses at the foot of the mountain behind their village as a factory.

These days, only the cities have factories. When did the countryside have factories? Even the tofu workshop in their village is only one in several villages.The people in the village were very happy when they heard that their own village was going to build a factory, and they rushed to tell everyone, just like a festival.

There are two main reasons why everyone is happy. One is that their village has a factory, and people in their village can find jobs in the factory in the future; the other is that they can burn bricks and tiles in their own village. It is much easier for people in the village to build a house. They don't need to go out to buy bricks and tiles, and they can save a lot of money to find someone to transport them.

Therefore, no one in the whole village disagrees with the matter of building a brick and tile factory in one's own village, unless their family already lives in a good house and there is no shortage of houses to live in. This is really not the case in the whole village. There is no shortage of houses in several families.

The tofu shop in the village has already been managed by the Women's Federation. Naturally, the soon-to-be-built factory can no longer be managed by the Women's Federation.This proposal was made by them, and in the end the benefits did not fall on their heads. Aunt Qin was not angry at all. When she came to mention this matter to Lu Jin, she was very happy and said: "I have made an agreement with your captain Lu. , The first batch of bricks and tiles fired will build two big houses for our tofu workshop, we can’t think that we will give them, and if we don’t give us any benefits, then I won’t do it.”

"Yes, that's the truth. Our chairman has said that women hold up half the sky, and Aunt Qin is the one!" Lu Jin gave a thumbs up.

"Oh, you kid, you still have a nice way of speaking." Aunt Qin couldn't help laughing.

If the newly built factory does not fall into the hands of Mrs. Qin, it is even less likely to fall into his hands. Of course, Lu Jin has no idea of ​​fighting for management rights. First, he doesn't know how to build a kiln, and secondly, he doesn't understand either. Burning bricks is obviously an area he doesn't understand.

Now just the tofu shop and the family are enough for him to be busy, and he doesn't need to take care of things that he shouldn't take care of himself.But he was looking forward to the construction of their brick and tile factory, and the first batch of bricks and tiles fired would be used to build their tofu workshop.Maybe it won't be long before their tofu workshop is no longer called tofu workshop, but changed to a food processing factory?

***

With the support of the whole village, the brick and tile factory in their village was successfully established. It happened that there was an old craftsman in their village who knew how to burn bricks and tiles. He was invited by the team to work as a master in the factory to guide the following people built kilns and fired bricks and tiles.

As soon as the news spread that you could exchange bricks and tiles by working in the factory to earn work points, the factory did not need to take the initiative to recruit people. The men in the village rushed to sign up for work, and even women and half-grown children followed suit. , Within two days, all the workers were recruited, and no one who came later was wanted.

It happened that there was clay for bricks and tiles on the mountain behind them, and the clay didn't need to be transported too far, it could be dug nearby.Burning bricks is not just burning, there is still a lot of work in the early stage, some people are responsible for digging, some are responsible for beating, some are responsible for bricklaying, and some are responsible for firing bricks and watching the kiln.

Lu Jin didn't sign up. Even if his family wanted to build a house, he could use the money to buy bricks and tiles instead of earning work points so hard.

However, for many people who can't afford to buy bricks and tiles to build a house, it is a very cost-effective thing to earn work points in exchange for bricks and tiles to build a house.And this also gives hope to many people who have no money to build a house. As long as they go to work, they can have a new house and marry a new wife.

On the day when the factory was officially announced, his whole family also went to join in the fun with the people in the village.

In fact, it is a factory, just a few asphalt houses built with bamboo, and a few kilns for burning bricks and tiles. This very simple place is the first factory established in their village.

Captain Lu and the secretaries also delivered a speech that day, to the effect that they encouraged everyone to use their spare time to work in the factory, but they couldn't leave behind the work in the field, after all, food was still their main food.Captain Lu finally said: "I hope that the whole village can live in new houses and live a good life!"

"Yes, everyone in our village will live in new houses to live a better life!"

Hearing the words of their captain, all the people in the village who came to watch the excitement shouted.

Under the expectation of the whole village, the first batch of bricks from their factory were fired, and except for a few bricks that were cracked, most of the rest were good.

"Okay, okay, we fired very successfully this time, hurry up, go, tell the captain and the secretary the good news." The master who took the lead in opening the kiln smiled when he saw the first batch of bricks they fired. Wrinkles have turned into flowers, let the disciples tell the news to their team leader and secretaries.

On the same day, Captain Lu, the secretary and several small team leaders were inspecting the work in the field. When they heard someone shouting all the way, they thought something happened in the village.

When people ran up to them and told them the news that the factory had fired bricks while panting, Captain Lu couldn't help laughing, and turned to the secretary and said, "Let's go, let's go back too." Take a look."

"Yes, take a look and see what the first batch of bricks from our factory look like." The secretary nodded.

Everyone else echoed, saying they wanted to go back and have a look.

Soon, everyone in the whole village knew that their factory could really burn bricks. Many people who were working stopped what they were doing and went to the brick and tile factory in the back mountain to watch them burn bricks. After seeing the first batch of new bricks, everyone smiled brightly like a flower, and everyone asked, "Have you gone to see the bricks?"

If others answer "I went to see it", then the two people will gather around the new bricks and talk about their family's plan to build a house; People rushed to see it, and on this day, people in the whole village rushed to tell everyone the good news.

Lu Jin also got the news that the factory had fired bricks immediately, but he didn't go to see it when there were many people. Instead, he waited until the two children at home came back from school in the afternoon, and then he brought the three children with him. The kid went to see it with his grandpa.

The burned bricks are neatly stacked inside the house, and people standing outside can see them at a glance.

On the way back after watching Brick, Chenchen chirped and said, "Brother, I also want to go to the factory to sign up for work, and earn work points to build a new house for our family."

This... the ambition is a bit low!No matter what, you have to find a position as a steward, right?But this also shows that their children are real.

Lu Jin couldn't bear to hurt the child's self-confidence, but he still told the child: "There are regulations for recruiting workers in the factory. You must be at least 13 years old to work. You are not yet old, and others don't want you to go to work." work." This rule is also because too many people in the village sign up to work, and there are too many people, so the factory issued a rule, requiring at least 13 years of age and above, and no one under the age of 13 .

"Ah?" Then he can't go?

Lu Haochen's expression was greatly shocked, and he still has to wait until he is 13 years old?He is only eight years old this year, counting back and forth twice with his fingers clasped, and found that it will take another five years until he is 13, so what about their new house?woo woo...

Lu Jin saw the expression on the child's face that was about to cry, and quickly comforted him: "You should leave this matter to your brother for the time being, and he will figure out a way. The most important thing for you and your sister right now is to read the book well, Know a few more words, calculate clearly within twenty, and you will know how many work points you have earned when you work later, so that you won’t be misremembered and you don’t even know.”

"Brother, I can count to one hundred." My sister has already learned the textbooks for the third grade. Usually, the teacher teaches the third grade students, and she can understand the class.

Chenchen is a bit worse, he is still studying the first grade textbooks, and he only learns arithmetic within [-], and he can't count beyond [-].He is not as diligent in studying as his elder sister. When her elder sister comes home from school, she is afraid to do housework and just study. At most, he himself finishes his homework and plays with his younger brothers, leaving his studies aside.

"My sister is great, and Chenchen is also good." Lu Jin encouraged the children in his family to study, but he knew that not every child could love reading and study hard like their little girl.Boys develop a bit later than girls in all aspects, so my younger brother is not so enthusiastic about learning. He can learn the content of textbooks in the first grade well, and he does not ask his younger brother to study the second and third grades like his sister. Knowledge.

Along the way, Yu Wenchang watched a few little grandchildren chattering around his brother, and there was a little smile on his face.

In the labor camp before, he never thought that he would be able to come out of it one day, and there would be such well-behaved and sensible grandchildren by his side. The happy days in front of him seemed to be stolen. He was taken away, so he cherished the days with his grandchildren very much.

By the time they got home to cook and have dinner, it was almost dark outside.

The family didn't go out after dinner, and Da Mao and Er Mao from the neighbor's house didn't come to play at their house today.

When the family took turns to take a shower and came out, it was dark outside.The kerosene lamp was lit in the house, and the children were doing their homework on the small table spread by the door. Lu Jin and his grandfather sat outside in the courtyard to enjoy the cool, listening to the news broadcast by the host on the radio...
