Bianshanhan [farming]

Although Chen Dingxin and the others have burned it many times, the villagers always feel that it is still fresh.During the day, those who are tired from working next to me will come and stand for a while, asking how they are doing this time.

Some people here are just looking for something to say casually, while some people can't help gloating about their misfortune.

At the beginning, there were many young people in Laoniuwan Village who went to learn art with Chen Dingxin. For various reasons, they were driven away by the old man surnamed Niu. Otherwise, how could the children of the old Chen family still do a good job.

Chen Dingxin has been working for several years, and these people have been talked about by his family. Chen Dingxin came back suddenly a few years ago, and he couldn't make bricks. The population of the village changed instantly.

Those who were driven back before were said to be clever, and they walked quickly when the situation was not right. Chen Dingxin changed from being honest and capable, which he praised, to "only working hard and not knowing anything". Parents get into it like a fool with a lot of things and money.

Those who have been scolded for many years suddenly turn around, and they are naturally in a good mood. Every time the kiln is fired here, someone will come to take a look, and then say lightly, "It should be almost the same this time"...

Once or twice, Chen Dingxin didn't notice much, and he knew what these people were thinking when there were too many, so he ignored them and just smashed the adobe with his head buried.

There are also kind-hearted advices, stop tossing about this thing, and plant the land, and save Chen Shan and his wife from being tired.

In the past, Mrs. Lu also persuaded her twice that burning bricks was really hard work, and she felt distressed when she looked at it, but she didn't dare to say more, for fear that if she didn't let her son do this, he would feel depressed.

Chen Dingxin kept silent, and these people got worse. He shook his head and said, "You're getting older and more ignorant. You've just been stunned by burning bricks and burning demons. Could it be that your body is stained with something dirty? It's really impossible to ask your parents to find someone to cleanse you." Drive away!"

Chen Dingxin scraped off the mud on the wooden frame with a string bow, raised his head, and gave the speaker a hard look.

The man took a step back and said, "Hey, now I don't even know what's good or bad."

"I think you should hire someone to exorcise ghosts!" Li Qingfeng looked at the man sideways, "Why are you so meddling in other people's affairs, the gossip women don't have as long a tongue as yours, do you have hundreds of women attached to you? It's so long-winded."

The person who spoke was of a certain seniority, his eyes widened when he heard the words, and he pointed at Li Qingfeng, "You, you blunt brat..."

Li Qinghong leaned over and said: "Uncle, I also feel that it is cold around you, and there is a bad smell. My brother reminded you for your own good. If you don't appreciate it, don't curse!"

The man suddenly turned his head to look at Mrs. Chen, "Look at the ones you raised..."

"Brother Shanliang, I think your complexion is not very good, go back and rest quickly." Mrs. Chen interrupted him, saying: "The fire has been burning here for three days, you can't help it! Otherwise, you will fall down Who's here?"

Being squeezed out by their family, Chen Shan threw up his sleeves and left.

Mrs. Chen snorted, "There are still so many demons and goblins in our village, are they all full?"

Li Qingwen watched the fire with sour eyes, and called Chen Dingxin and the others over, it was almost time to stop the fire.

When he said this, a group of people came over, quickly looked at the fire inside and the red brick surface, remembered it firmly, and then stopped the fire.

Several boys carried wooden barrels and poured the water into the tank on the roof of the kiln, and the water slowly seeped into the kiln. This process is known as soaking the kiln, and it took three to seven days.

Experienced potters can put all the water in at once, but Li Qingwen didn't dare. He only asked to pour three buckets first to observe the speed of water seepage.

The temperature in the kiln that has been fired for three days is extremely high, water drips on the bricks, hot air comes out, and white smoke starts to emit from the tiny holes in the wall. You must be careful not to touch this kind, or the flesh will be burnt. .

In fact, when we were in the kiln, we could just look at it, and we didn’t need so many people, but the people of the Li family sat on the hillside and didn’t leave. Anyway, they talked in the house, and they talked here as well.

I was still thinking about what went wrong in the house, and I could always help out if something happened here.

Li Qingwen and Li Qinghong have been helping to remove the blank, Chen Dingxin felt embarrassed, "You two take a rest, this is not busy."

Chen Shi said: "If you see them eating a few bowls of rice at a time, I'm afraid you should imprison them for a few more days."

Chen Dingxin showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, "The food is so good, they are all in good health at this age."

As he was talking, he vaguely heard the dog barking at home, so Lu threw the dirt on his body and went home to have a look.

As soon as she walked to the courtyard, she saw the third sister-in-law walking over with a few children. Lu Shi frowned slightly, but still said enthusiastically, "What kind of wind is blowing today that brought you here."

"I heard that Yaomei is back. I haven't seen my sister for several years. It's strange. Come here and have a look." Chen Shanhe, wearing a new blue muslin dress, led a few children to the front, "I knew you were on the mountain , did not enter the house."

"Don't go to the mountains, I'm sorry you lost your new clothes." Lu Shi said.

Chen Shanhe refused, "I have to see Yaomei, she doesn't come back after her parents are gone, so I finally came here, I came to see her specially."

Sitting on the hillside, Mrs. Chen looked at them, and when she got up to them, she got up and called "Third Sister".

Li Qingwen and his brothers came to call Third Aunt, Chen Shanhe only glanced at them, but stared at Li Qingwen for a long time, "This kid is well raised by you."

Then she looked at Li Maoxian, "Brother-in-law is a rare visitor. Except for the wedding, you don't seem to have been to Laoniuwan."

Listening to the third aunt's words, Li Qingwen always felt a little awkward. After saying hello, he went to guard the entrance of the cave. Chen Shanhe looked at the Li family's boys like mud monkeys, and felt a little disgusted in his heart. He couldn't even speak warmly. Stupid mouth, just like their mother.

The children around Chen Shanhe dispersed curiously when they reached the mountain, looking at this and that, Lu hurriedly said: "Let's go back to the house and talk, this is a mess everywhere, don't hurt the children."

"Not so delicate!" Chen Shanhe didn't appreciate it, and said to Chen Shi: "Little sister, I thought you would never go back to your mother's house after your parents died."

Mrs. Chen looked at her, "Third Sister, you have a good life, you don't have to worry about food and drink, I'm raising so many children, and I have to serve the whole family's food and drink, I can't be free, how can I come back when I'm free."

Chen Shanhe curled his lips, "It's just an excuse if you don't have time. I really want to come back, and I crawled back. I see you, you still hate what happened back then."

"What's the matter?" Chen Shi asked her, "I don't know if there is anything that can make me feel reluctant to go home for so many years?"

Choked up by her question, Chen Shanhe gave a blank look, "You just pretend to be ignorant."

Li Qingwen was sitting when a fat man in a silk coat came up to him, tilted his head and asked who he was.

"I call Brother Dingxin Cousin, whose family are you from?" Li Qingwen asked.

Lao Niu Bay is very big, and the Chen family is not small. Li Qingwen only heard that he has dozens of uncles in this village, and he still can't recognize all the relative uncles. This little Douding is even more unfamiliar.

"My father's name is Chen Shan'an, and he is a high-ranking official in the county government." The little fat man raised his head and said proudly: "Many people will kowtow when they see my father. When I grow up, others will kowtow when they see me too." .”

Hearing this, Li Qingwen took a closer look, but he didn't see how the chubby man in front of him looked like the Chen Shan'an he had seen before, so he said: "You are the son of my eighth uncle, that is my cousin, you have to call me cousin."

"Really?" The little fat man looked at Li Qingwen up and down, and Li Qingwen actually saw contempt and disdain in his eyes, and he immediately felt that he must be dazzled.

"You look quite good-looking, and your clothes are so shabby, so your family should be quite poor." The little fat man pouted and said, "My family doesn't have such poor relatives as you. To please others is like lice on the head, you can't get rid of them all."

Li Qingwen was stunned, he never expected to hear such words from a child of a few years old.

The other people next to him also heard it, and their expressions were different.

Chen Shanhe glared at his sister, "Get this kid away!"

"Second brother, what does a child know, just talk about it, what do you care about with him." Chen Shanhe said disapprovingly: "Besides, what he said is correct. After the old eighth went to the county government to do things, people in the villages around Thinking of finding him for convenience, he is tired enough."

"He also takes money for other people's work, so there is nothing to complain about." Chen said coldly, "A man should be aboveboard, and those who play tricks are twitching balls!"

Chen Shanhe didn't know about Chen Shan'an and the Li family's affairs, but felt that the words were a bit exaggerated, and said: "You can't talk nonsense, entrust someone to do things, you should be paid for your hard work, or why don't you just open your mouth."

Li Qingfeng threw the mud on the ground, walked over, looked down at the little fat man, and said, "Have you ever seen a group of flies flying around the big dung, maybe your house has a lot of dung, which attracts so many flies."

This time it was the fat man's turn to be dumbfounded, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Li Qingfeng, "You, you dare to scold me..."

"If you are a few years older, I will not only scold you, but also beat you." Li Qingfeng glared at him, "I don't bully children, don't touch your nose, and talk nonsense, believe it or not, I stripped off my pants , let you go back naked!"

Because of his father, the little fat man dared not treat him like this in Zongheng Village. He was stunned and said, "If you dare to bully me, I will ask my father to lock you up, beat you up, and behead you!" ! Cut off the heads of your entire family!"

Seeing that Li Qingfeng was really going to take off the little fat man's pants, Chen Shanhe quit, and hurried forward to stop him, "Oh, you are so old, why are you still playing around with children? Isn't this bullying?"

"Feng'er!" Li Maoxian also said: "My parents are all here, it's not your cousin's turn to teach, come back and work quickly!"

Chen Shanhe's face was very pale, and he said to Chen Shanhe: "You, take these children, hurry up, or I will beat him up, and you won't be able to go back to work!"

Chen Shanheqi's second brother didn't show her face, and left while grabbing the little fat man's hand.

When they left, the mountain was finally quiet.

Li Qingwen missed the border town very much. There, there would never be any relatives he didn't know jumping out to make trouble, that would be true purity! !

Then I couldn't help thinking about Jiang Cong and the others, whether they came back from patrol at this time, whether they were injured or something.

The permafrost in the border town is about to melt... it's almost ready for farming.

Chen Shan and Yu remained angry, and said: "Why did this child grow up like this? If this is my own grandson, he dares to be so careless. I will beat him three times a day, and I will definitely not let him go out to shame him."

"Lao Ba's accountant is more prestigious than the magistrate of the county. Now whoever mentions that he used to be a book boy, he will turn his face." Lu said: "He is lucky. Not only is he famous in the yamen, but he is also sold If you eat sugar, you should have made a lot of money."

Hearing this, the Li family couldn't help lowering their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of opening the kiln.

These days, the land in Laoniuwan has almost been planted, and many people have nothing to do, so they ran to Nanshan to look around.

Chen Dingxin and the others stood at the entrance of the cave, rubbing their hands unconsciously. They were full of expectations for the firing of bricks, but they must be fired!

The most nervous person here was Li Qingwen, he came here specially to do this, and visiting relatives was just a matter of incident, if it didn't work out, his uncle and cousin would be so busy and disappointed.

Chen Shanhe asked the big guys to stand far away, and as the hole was opened, a wave of heat gushed out, and everyone felt that their skin was about to be burned, and they quickly hid back.

The heat had to dissipate for a while, and everyone didn't understand, stretched their necks to look in, and urged them to get a brick to have a look.

Chen Dingxin and the others didn't move. They didn't dare to touch the bricks when they went in at this time, and they couldn't bear the heat.

Chen Dingxin and the others didn't go in until the heat was not so hot inside, and first took a few bricks from various positions in the kiln to have a look.

The brick was still a little hot at this moment, Chen Dingxin and the others moved it out and put it on the wooden table, seeing only the blackish green color, Li Qingwen's heart sank.

Sure enough, when he knocked with his hand, the brick only made a muffled sound.

Chen Dingxin and the others didn't look too good either. The people around saw it and knew that it was burned again this time.

It was not very lively and beautiful, and some people left.

Regardless of the hot hands, Chen Dingxin bumped the two bricks into each other, useless force, the two bricks broke into two pieces, and the person next to him gasped. It was too weak, far inferior to the adobe.

Li Maoxian was still able to hold his nerve, turned around and went inside, moved out the bricks one by one, and then tried knocking, without exception, all of them were cut into two pieces.

Liu Daguang and the others kept moving out, and after a muffled sound, there was a pile of broken bricks on the ground.

Li Qingwen frowned, squatted on the ground looking at these broken bricks, and recalled what went wrong.

Several people watching from the side also came to help, grinning their teeth from being burned by the brick.

Chen Shanhe and Lu Shi hurriedly comforted Li Qingwen, telling him not to worry about it, since many kilns were broken anyway, this time is not bad.

"The colors below seem to be different..." the person who came to help took a breath and put the bricks on the ground, saying so.

Li Qingwen looked at the bricks he brought out, they were blue in color, picked up two bricks and knocked on them, the sound was clear and not broken, it was completely different from the ones just now.

Chen Dingxin looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he took two more bricks from the ground. This time, they collided hard and the sound was louder, but the bricks were still solid.

"This, this is done!" Liu Daguang and others exclaimed in surprise.

The people next to it also gathered around, picked up a piece and held it in their hands, shaking it, "It's really heavy!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurried back to the cave to continue moving. Fortunately, the blue bricks below were all fired, only a few corners were missing, and the rest were intact.

"Oh my god, it actually happened!"

Tears of surprise streamed down their dirty faces, and Liu Daguang and the others cried excitedly. After more than half a year of hard work, they finally burned into green bricks!

Looking at the piles of blue bricks on the ground, Li Qingwen calculated that about one-third of them were burnt down, and two-thirds were burnt down. This result is quite satisfactory.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he was picked up by Chen Dingxin who rushed over, "Little boy, I really want to thank you!"

Li Qingwen raised his tone immediately, and said hastily, "I just watched the fire, everything else was done by you cousin..."

"If you are more polite, my cousin will be angry!" Chen Dingxin roared angrily, as if he wanted to vent out the resentment and unwillingness he had squeezed in the past few years.

What else could Li Qingwen say, of course he shut up and let his cousin hug him.

In the end, it was Li Qinghong and Li Qingfeng who came to save his brother.

The people who watched the fun and didn't leave heard something, that is to say, it was possible to burn this time because Lao Li's family came to help?

No way, he also heard that the little girl from the old Chen family married into a very poor family. With this skill, how can she live so poorly that her brothers and sisters would dislike her?

Li Qingwen just got out of his cousin's jaws, and was hugged by his second aunt again, wiping his tears away, trying to comfort her with all his might.

Thousands of blue bricks, Chen Dingxin and the others hurriedly inspected them one by one after wiping away their tears.

Liu Daguang ran to Li Qingwen's side, and said happily, "Leave the burning bricks, let's make money together, you just watch the fire!"

Li Qingwen shook his head resolutely, "I still have other things to do, you can burn it a few more times, and you will be able to see the fire accurately."

He wants to earn more than 20 taels of silver, and it is impossible to save that money after burning bricks for several lifetimes!

"I didn't mean that, you helped us so much, we are together!" Liu Daguang eagerly explained.

Li Qingwen nodded, he knew, but he couldn't stay here either.

But Mrs. Lu didn't listen to what they said, and pushed one by one towards the house, "Hurry up and wash up, I'll make a table of wine and vegetables, let's celebrate."

For several days in a row, most of them stayed on the mountain, and everyone was exhausted. They returned home happily, washed their hands and faces, changed their dirty clothes, and lay comfortably on the kang, their eyes brighter than ever.

Although not the whole kiln has been fired, it has become a lot, and it will definitely get better and better in the future.

Although the good news didn't spread as fast as the bad news, as the spectators went back to talk about it, soon, the news of Chen Dingxin's burning of green bricks spread throughout the village.

Then, someone came to inquire about this matter, Chen Shan and he received these people cheerfully, only saying that their son was exhausted and lying down to sleep.

Chen Shanhe married to the next-door village, not far away. After she went down the mountain, she sent a few children back first. Knowing that the Li family hadn't left yet, she stayed at home for two days, but she couldn't hold back and went to Chen Shanhai's house.

Mrs. Chen Shanhe's family is rich, and Mrs. Wang looked at her differently, and kept praising the quality of her clothes, which made her look more energetic.

Chen Shanhe also exaggerated that his sister-in-law had good eyesight. She had stayed on the mountain for so long before, but Chen and Lu didn't notice it. They were really blind.

Chen Shanhe couldn't help talking to his elder brother and sister-in-law about the past two days, emphasizing how Li Qingfeng bullied children arbitrarily, with feces and urine in his mouth, and how vulgar he was when he was a guest at his mother's house. He might be in the village.

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said, "I live in poverty, but I still envy other people's well-being. Such a person will never get well in his life."

While talking, her daughter-in-law came back with the washed clothes, walked in and said, "I heard that Dingxin fired the bricks, oh, when did the third aunt come..."

The people in the room were taken aback when they heard the words, and hurriedly asked about the burning of bricks.

The daughter-in-law said what she heard while doing the laundry, and Wang's face was uncertain, "I don't know if it's shit luck this time..."

Chen Shanhai didn't speak, but Wang gave him a push, "Go and find out."

"He didn't specifically tell me Xin'er, why did I rush to ask, as if trying to curry favor with them." Chen Shanhai was unwilling.

Chen Shanhe couldn't sit still, "I'll go to my second brother's house to ask, sister-in-law doesn't need to leave me food."

Mrs. Wang agreed happily, and when Chen Shanhe walked out of the house, she lowered her eyes and muttered, "I came empty-handed and wanted to stay for dinner, what a beautiful idea!"

Chen Shanhe came to the door again, but Lu could only welcome him in.

Mrs. Chen was lighting the fire, and said: "The third sister came just in time, I can't cook the two stoves, you go and burn the other one."

Chen Shanhe looked at his brand-new clothes, and said with a smirk: "It's not convenient for me to wear it, you have so many boys, just call one, they are so big, they can't even do this job, right?" .”

After finishing speaking, she didn't look at Mrs. Chen, but turned her head to approach Mrs. Lu and said: "I heard that Dingxin has fired bricks, and those things are not cheap. The bricks used to build a house cost a lot of money. My mother-in-law's house built it." The three brick houses have been saved for half a lifetime. Sister-in-law, you have survived all these years, and from now on you will sit at home on the kang and count your money every day!"

While washing the rice, Lu said: "This is the credit of the young boy, without him the bricks would not have been fired!"

"Who?" Chen Shanhe was stunned for a moment and asked.

Chen raised her head and smiled at her, "My little son, didn't the third sister see him on the mountain before, the one who looks so handsome."

Chen Shanhe was stunned, and blurted out: "Isn't he a fool?"

A layer of frost appeared on Chen's face, "If this word comes from an outsider, I can spit on her face, you think about it yourself, are you speaking human language?"

Chen Shanhe's face was embarrassed. She slipped her words first, so she could only endure it.

Lying on the kang, Li Qingwen couldn't help sighing silently when he heard the voices outside, and began to miss the goodness of the border town again.

Li Qinghong didn't fall asleep either, he touched Li Qingwen's ears, and whispered: "Where are such smart little fools, they are obviously blind."

After the meal was finished, Mrs. Lu called all the men up, and they sat down at two tables. Li Qingwen and the others naturally wanted to sit at the same table with their second uncle and second aunt, including Chen Shanhe.

As if the previous unhappiness hadn't happened, Chen Shanhe frequently picked up food for Li Qingwen across half the table, asking him to eat more, you're welcome.

Li Qingwen swallowed hard, and when he looked up, he saw his mother and second aunt rolling their eyes.

After only a few hours of rest, Chen Dingxin and the others immediately got up to dry the billets, preparing to fire the second kiln.

This time, more people came to watch. If everyone wanted to watch the excitement before, this time they paid more attention to how they work, and the skills in front of them were not learned for nothing.

Li Qingwen was stepping on the mud with his bare feet, and he didn't see Li Qingfeng for a long time. Besides him, Liu Daguang was not there either.He asked casually, and Mrs. Chen said that the two of them went to the mountain to hunt rabbits.

Li Qingwen was a little puzzled, Liu Daguang wished he could live here, so why did he suddenly go to catch rabbits.

They didn't see them until lunch. After questioning, one of them said hesitantly that they should go to the man surnamed Niu.

Li Qingwen was stunned. When he was at home, he thought that the fourth brother had given up on revenge, so he ran away again.

Li Maoxian also frowned, fearing that the two of them were insignificant, and fearing that something might happen on such a long journey, he was about to chase after him immediately, and Chen Shanhe also went with him.

Li Qingwen couldn't do the hard work of throwing blanks, so he stepped on the mud for a few days, and his feet were almost soaked in the mud. Lu and the others refused to let him step on it again, so they borrowed the cows in the village and spent a few days. Money is fine too.

After walking for five or six days, Li Qingfeng and Liu Daguang were finally chased back.

Chen was worried for several days, and quickly asked: "Is there nothing wrong?"

"It's okay, mother." Li Qingfeng said nonchalantly: "I just saw what the old man looked like before I saw him. Father and the others are here, and we will come back together!"

Mrs. Chen looked at Li Maoxian, and Li Maoxian didn't say anything, so she was relieved.

After Li Maoxian came back, he didn't get angry or angry. Li Qingwen thought nothing happened and made a false alarm.

At night, when the three brothers were lying together, Li Qinghong asked how they cleaned up the old man surnamed Niu.

"I didn't do anything, I just frightened him. Who knew that he was as timid as a mouse, so scared that he broke his leg." Li Qingfeng's tone was full of regret.

"What's the matter?"

"We pretended to be ghosts outside the window just to scare him. He had a guilty conscience and wanted to close the window, but somehow he fell off the table and broke his leg," Li Qingfeng said.

"He deserves it. We overheard it. He said in person that he cheated people with his big apprentice and used so many people in vain. He didn't want to teach people the real skills in the first place, and he laughed at those people as stupid as pigs." .”

"Just you two?" Li Qinghong asked suddenly.

Li Qingfeng smiled, "Father and second uncle also came to help, they were furious when they heard those words, they beat up the old man and his eldest apprentice, those two people kept calling grandpa and ancestor, it almost made me sick .”

"The second uncle asked him to return the things he had collected over the years. The old man said he ate them all. The second uncle wanted to beat him up and spit it out. He was terrified and said he would lose money, things and wages from these years..."

Li Qingwen: "..."

After the old liar was dealt with, everyone felt disgusted when they got his money, but money is a good thing, so they would not throw it away.

After returning, everyone started preparing to burn bricks. Chen Dingxin spent money to buy firewood from the villagers. This was discussed by Li Maoxian and Chen Shanhe.

The family's money is too eye-catching, and everyone in the village must be proud, or those jealous people will always make all kinds of things.

Laoniuwan is different from Yangshu Village. The village is big, with many people with various surnames and many things. It is inevitable that the villagers will have some entanglements because of the location or other things.When encountering these things, other villages just beat and scold. People in Laoniuwan will go to the government to expose who secretly opened up wasteland or occupied more land, and there are people who light firewood piles in the middle of the night. It happens every year. A dozen times.

Eating alone will be hated and missed by others, but if the neighbors can earn some money, they will also help guard against those who have evil intentions. Although it is not as good as their own, it is worse than fighting alone.

Chen Dingxin grew up here and knows what the village is like. Although he loves money, he can only bear it.

Liu Daguang and the four of them also nodded. They had a good relationship with Chen Dingxin and were equally stubborn, so they could work together for so long for nothing.Laoniuwan only has soil for burning bricks, and they also want to benefit from the people in the village, so they have to continue burning in the future

Hearing that the Chen family bought firewood, many people in the village were overjoyed and immediately went up the mountain to pick it up. They knew that a lot of firewood was used every time they fired bricks. Less, no worse than going out to find work.

Chen Shanhe did what he said. These days, his three meals a day are boiled white rice. He killed more than a dozen chickens.

Later, Mrs. Chen became anxious and had to pack up and leave. There were no fewer chickens in the chicken coop.

When the second kiln was being fired, Li Qingwen let his cousin watch it for himself, and only said a few words when they were not sure.

Li Qingwen and his cousin talked to each other about the burnt out last time, and they felt that the fire in the middle was a bit fierce, and this time they had to be careful not to burn too hot.

This time, more bricks were put in, so it took an extra day to burn, and the time for soaking the kiln was also extended.

On the day when the kiln was opened, the mountain was full of people, and some even quarreled and moved their hands.

Li Qingwen saw again that the people in his second uncle's village were really different from theirs.

When opening the kiln, Chen Dingxin's hands were shaking, and he was even more nervous than when he was firing the kiln for the first time.

It was not until it was almost dark that the heat inside dissipated. There were not a few people on the mountain. Many people held their rice bowls and ate while watching.

Can't wait to get it outside, Liu Daguang and the others started knocking inside, a clear voice came out, and at the same time several people shouted in surprise, "It's done!!"

This time it was a success beyond Li Qingwen's expectations. There were only a few dozen broken bricks in the whole kiln, and all the bricks had not been dried well, and the rest were all intact.Moreover, Chen Dingxin and the others all said that the green bricks they burned this time were better than those they had burned at that old liar before. The color was correct and the sound was nice.

Li Qingwen also felt that the sound of knocking was pleasant, but when it was called Xianle, it was a bit...

When the second kiln came out, people from the village came to buy bricks, and he took away all the bricks from the second kiln. There were thousands of bricks, and he gave a total of 18 taels of silver.

After Chen Dingxin and the others got the money, they were so happy that they wanted to grin, but they couldn't help it, their eyes were red, and they looked inexplicably sad.

It's not easy. After so many years of study and so much tiredness, it finally pays off.

After getting the money, put it on the table, and everyone sat around and touched it a few times, and finally handed all the money to Li Qingwen.

Knowing that they had suffered a lot for burning bricks, Li Qingwen waved his hand away, and Chen Shanhe asked him to hold it, "It's not that my second uncle is partial. If you don't come, my boy, I don't know how much work they will waste in burning bricks. It can be done, you have taught them so much, this money must be accepted!"

Chen Dingxin, Liu Daguang and the others also said that the money must be accepted. They had worked for that old thing for so long and only became proficient in physical work. The ability to see fire is important, and they felt that it was not enough to just give it to them, but That's all I have right now.

If Chen Dingxin was the only one burning bricks, Li Maoxian would not let his son take the money, because Chen Shanhe had helped his family a lot in the past, and even relatives should be grateful.

But there are four other people in this business, and they also benefited from it. Li Maoxian felt that the money must be accepted.

In the end, Li Qingwen accepted the money.

Although the silver in hand was only touched, but after learning how to burn bricks, it will still grow when making money in the future. Liu Daguang and others are full of joy.

It has been many days since Mrs. Chen went back to her natal family, and she wanted to go back to the village as soon as her nephew's big business was over.

Lu Shi and Chen Dingxin's daughter-in-law held her tightly, and had to have a banquet before leaving.

Mrs. Chen and the others have been working these days, so they didn't sit down and have a proper meal. Now that they are done with their work, they have to drink a few glasses for the happy event of burning bricks.

In this way, Chen's butt did not leave the Kang.

At noon, Chen Shan had a reunion meal with his family and the Li family first. In the evening, Chen Shanhe invited the elders of the Chen family to let Li Qingwen and the others recognize the elders. They are all close relatives.

Chen Shan'an's father also came, and that little fat man followed behind for some reason.

He was very afraid of Li Qingfeng, he would shrink his body to avoid Li Qingfeng in such a small place in the room, ran to Li Qingwen, peeked at Li Qingfeng's side while talking, "I heard that you are leaving?"

Li Qingwen said "yes", and the little fat man asked him when he would come again.

"I'm going on a long trip, and I don't know when I'll be free in the future." Li Qingwen was still a little puzzled as he spoke. Could it be that he is very attractive to children?

The little fat man let out an "oh", took out a cat's claw candy from his pocket, and asked him, "Have you ever eaten this?"

Seeing this candy, Li Qingwen felt a little complicated.

He didn't speak, and the little fat man asked again, "Have you never eaten this?"

The little fat man obviously didn't have a long memory, and said with a look of contempt, "You haven't eaten this, it really is poor!"

Li Qingwen snatched the little fat man's candy with a blank expression and stuffed it into his mouth, "I've eaten it now, and it tastes alright."

Unexpectedly, the candy would be snatched away, the little fat man was stunned for a moment, his mouth shrunk, and he was about to howl.

Li Qingwen spit out the candy and put it back in his hand, "I'll give it back to you."

The sticky candy stuck to the palm of his hand, which made him very uncomfortable. It took a long time for the little fat man to realize that he wanted to throw it on the ground, but found that he couldn't shake it off, so he reached out to hit Li Qingwen, but was caught by Li Qingfeng.

"Dare to cry, your little lifeblood will be covered with this stuff!" Li Qingfeng said calmly, "It won't wash off in a lifetime."

The little fat man was frightened by Li Qingfeng who came over who didn't know when, he shrank back, only shedding tears and not daring to make a sound.

Li Zhengliang tilted his head to look at him, and said happily, "Fortunately, you are young, those big kids who provoked my uncle were all dealt with by my uncle, you are really brave."

Li Qingfeng, who is well-known in Yangshu Village and surrounding villages, showed a look of contempt, "I really have the guts to come back to me in a few years!"

The little fat man shook his head in tears.

Li Qingwen: "..." To deal with this kind of child, his little fourth brother really needs to help.

In the end, the little fat man didn't dare to cry, and when his grandfather asked him why he was crying, he didn't dare to say anything.

As for whether he will file a complaint when he goes back, Li Qingwen is not worried, it's just a joke among children, how can he take it seriously.
