60s Splendid Life

Chapter 226 School Strike

Captain Lu really kept his promise, and in a few days, he sent someone to bring the first batch of bricks newly fired in the factory to their tofu workshop, and marked out a place next to the tofu workshop for them to build a house.

With bricks and tiles, it is much easier for them to hire people to build a house. There are masons in their own village, and their team leader went out to hire masters, and they also recruited a few young adults from the village to help. live.There is a brick and tile factory in their village, and the people in the village are worrying that there is no place to learn crafts. This is not an opportunity. When people are free, they come to help them work.

Lu Jin and the others work here every day at the tofu shop, and they can see the new houses rising from the ground next door.

People in the village saw that the first batch of bricks from their factory were used to build houses, and everyone would come to see them when they had time. They saw the houses being built bit by bit, as if they saw their own houses being built too. .

"Has your family ordered bricks and tiles?"

"Go, have you gone to your house?"

"Our family also went there yesterday. Hey, we went late, and there were already a lot of people in the front line. I don't know if we can line up for our family this year. If not, we can only line up for next year."

"Fortunately, our family went early. As soon as we heard that bricks and tiles could be reserved, our family ran away, as if we were afraid of falling behind others, and reported our name on the same day."

"Then your family is fine, maybe you can build a new house this year."

"Hehe, I hope."

Two women standing outside watching people build a house are discussing the matter of buying bricks and tiles to build a house.

The bricks and tiles fired by the factory in their village need to be booked in advance, and a deposit must be paid. There are many poor people these days, but there are also people with some money. Some people are the first to hear that there are bricks and tiles in their village. It was time to pay the deposit, but some people were hesitant, and when they went to register later, they had already queued up a few pages later.

But no matter what, there is a brick and tile factory in their village. In the future, it will be easier for people in their village to build houses than those in other villages.

These days, not only the housing in the city is tight, but also many people in the countryside don’t have enough houses to live in. A large group of brothers in the family live in one room, and they have no place to live when they want to marry a wife. Many people are eager to have a house. If this house can be built with bricks and tiles, it will be more face-saving, so those who have a little money in the family will sign up and line up to buy bricks and tiles, and those who have no money will work hard to earn work points. The house can always be earned, daughter-in-law It is also possible to marry.

Every day I come to the tofu shop to look inside the houses built by people. There are a lot of older unmarried young people. Some of them are not enough just to look at them. I can even build a house by myself.

Seeing so many people come to help them work every day, Mrs. Qin is also very happy. Their tofu shop does not have much else, and there is a lot of bean dregs filtered out from the tofu. The owner of the bean dregs, the captain of the tofu shop, can still do it Got the Lord's.Captain Qin asked Lu Jin to teach a few apprentices how to make bean dregs pancakes, and baked bean dregs pancakes with cornmeal. It was delicious and filling. The masters and helpers who came to work in the tofu workshop every day gave four to each of them. Bean dregs pancakes.

Palm-sized bean dregs pancakes, an adult can eat two at a time, and the remaining two can be taken home for children to eat, so more and more people come to their tofu shop to help work every day Yes, not only to learn skills from the master, but also for the bean dregs pancakes distributed by their tofu shop.

With everyone's hard work, the two big houses in their tofu workshop were built in less than a month, with beams installed and new tiles laid on them.

Two big and bright houses, just looking at them makes people happy!

"Look, how magnificent our new house is!" Aunt Qin was very happy to see that their tofu shop had such two big houses.

"Yes, very impressive." Lu Jin agreed with a smile.

The other employees are very happy, their tofu workshop also has a green brick and tile building!

After the two big houses were built, their original old house was not demolished, and they were still used there. They still made tofu in the original place every day, but the jars and some sundries piled up in the house were moved to the new one. The house is gone.A lot of things from the old house have been moved out, and the inside looks much more spacious, so that it will not be difficult for everyone to work in it.

After the two new houses in their tofu workshop were built, several new houses in the village were also being built, and the people who were building the houses were all smiling when they walked.

People who are still waiting for bricks and tiles see that other people’s new houses have been built. They don’t know when they will have bricks and tiles. I went to the back of the mountain all over the place, just to ask when I could get to their house.

Just as the villagers in their village were busy buying bricks and tiles to build houses, the wind from above finally blew below them.

The middle school in the town closed classes, and Lu Boli packed up his things and returned home. Many students in his class went to participate in activities, but he didn't go. He thought that what those students did was not all right, and he also Tried to talk his best friend out of those events, but he didn't succeed.

After returning home, Lu Boli had conflicts with his friends because of school affairs, and he was still in a low mood after returning home. When his mother asked him why he was unhappy, he thought for a while, and he decided to talk about what happened in school. I told his mother about it.

"Son, it's right that you didn't follow your classmates to participate in those sports. Our family has never been like this. You are a teacher for one day and a father for life. Those teachers who have taught you are just like your father. People from the old Lu family are worthy of our respect, and people from our old Lu family cannot be ungrateful." Aunt Qin was very happy that her son knew how to distinguish right from wrong, and she praised her son emphatically on this point.

Lu Boli was a little embarrassed by his mother's praise, "I just... think it's wrong for them to do that, and I don't want to do that with them."

"Yes, A Niang also thinks that your classmates did something wrong. You can have your own judgment and not follow the crowd, which proves that you have grown up. A Niang is proud of you." The one who was still held in her arms back then The little doll is now taller than her mother, and Aunt Qin is very happy for her son's growth.

"Since there are no classes in school, you can stay at home during this time. I will talk to your father later and arrange something for you to do in the village. When the school resumes, you can go back to school."

"Mother, can you tell Dad that I can go to the factory in the back mountain to help with work?" Lu Boli has always been very happy with their brick and tile factory in the back mountain, and wants to try how to burn bricks and tiles.

"This... It's not impossible. I'll tell your father later." Aunt Qin didn't stop her younger son from working in the brick and tile factory because the work was too hard. Her two eldest sons and second sons She doesn't follow people to work in the fields every day, and sometimes she has to run errands for her father. Although the father and son come and go in the wind and rain, she is very distressed, but she has never stopped her husband and sons from doing what they want to do. .Now that the youngest son came back and told her that he was going to work in the brick and tile factory, she naturally wouldn't stop him.

There have been a lot of things going on in the team recently. Captain Lu and his two sons didn’t come home until dark. There was food left in the stove for the three of them. It was still hot. The three of them washed their hands and went to the table after returning home. Have a meal.

After the father and son had eaten, Aunt Qin mentioned to her husband what happened at the school of the youngest son, as well as the demands of the youngest son.

"Today the secretary went to the town for a meeting, and he told me about this when he came back. I think these people are just full and have nothing to do, so they are supported!" Lu Dequan put the tea mug on the table and snorted coldly. Said: "They made trouble with them, whoever in our village dares to bring this trend back to our village, I will be the first to spare him!"

"Yes, that's the reason. Old Lu, you have to lead people to take good care of our village, and don't let that unhealthy trend come to us. The lives of our villagers are better now than in previous years. A good life is nothing but tossing about, what is this all about? Hey~" Aunt Qin still hoped that her youngest son could be admitted to university, but her eldest and second sons failed to enter university back then, this has always been a regret in her heart The youngest son's grades in school are better than those of her two elder brothers. The teachers at the school have said that the child of their family may be admitted to university. She has always hoped that at least one of the three sons will be a college student. .

Now that the school is closed, and she doesn't know when it will resume, can she not be anxious?

Brothers Lu Bowen and Lu Bocheng exchanged glances, and they both sensed something unusual in it.

Lu Dequan did not reject his youngest son's request to work in the brick and tile factory, and made a request to his youngest son: "Since you proposed to work in the factory, you can't just say it's too hard and quit halfway through the work." .Although your father is the captain of our Lujia Village, you are you, and you can't do anything special just because I am in this village. I won't allow it." The two sons in front, Lu De, have never done anything. Special, just because he is his son, he has stricter requirements on his sons than others.

"I know, I promise I won't!" Lu Boli issued a military order to his father.

Lu Bocheng looked at his little brother with sympathy, and wanted to persuade him not to think about it any more, but seeing his promise so swearing in front of their parents, as expected, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so he said nothing up.

In contrast, Lu Bowen is very supportive of this little brother who has never suffered since he was a child, to suffer.In the same way, Captain Lu also had the same idea. Only after letting his youngest son endure hardships did he realize how hard it is to have a good life now.

On this day, the family meeting of their family ended without any objection from both father and son.
