The next day.

When Wang Yousheng woke up with his head covered, his wife came to tell him that the three factory managers from the city had run away.

That's right, they had run away.

Yesterday, the three of them almost got drunk to death. When Lin Shaowen came to visit them in the morning with two large pots of rice wine, they all turned pale.

So, after breakfast, he slipped away while Lin Shaowen was not paying attention.

Wang Yousheng quickly washed up and ran to the village branch, but didn't see Lin Shaowen. He ran to the health center, but didn't see him either.

Only then did someone tell him that the village chief had gone to the brick factory by the river early in the morning.

When he arrived, he was dumbfounded.

The river bank had been tidied up. The villagers were chopping trees, building kilns, and a group of women were making fires and cooking. They were so busy.

The village cadres were not idle either. Each of them was responsible for supervising a team.

Even the logistics of cooking were managed by the women's director. The main feature was a clear division of labor.

Wang Yousheng was relieved and a little disappointed.

After all, it was a new generation replacing the old.

"Secretary, you're here just in time." Lin Shaowen came over after finding him, "Please set the work points for these people, and... the brick factory will temporarily recruit 20 people, you see which ones are suitable."

"These..."

"Of course you set these." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Didn't we agree? I'll only take care of economic construction, and you'll take care of other things."

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it."

Wang Yousheng's disappointment was swept away, and he immediately began to make arrangements.

In three days, all six brick kilns were built.

The factory building was supported by several large logs and covered with tiles, but it leaked on all sides. Originally, the village planned to use wood to surround it, but Lin Shaowen insisted on using the first batch of red bricks to build the wall. Everyone couldn't resist and had to agree.

Boom!

The machine started running, and 20 workers started working under the command of Wang Laoliu.

There was an endless stream of people coming to the brick factory to watch the excitement every day, and even people from the neighboring villages came.

Wang Yousheng was also cautious, and he didn't let them see Lin Shaowen anyway.

Midnight.

Beside the Yuanshui River.

Wang Laoliu handed Lin Shaowen a torch, "Village chief, this is the first fire of the kiln..."

"Of course, let the secretary light it." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "We don't promote feudal superstition, but we must know that the secretary is the most prestigious person in our group. If he lights the fire...all the ghosts and monsters have to stand aside, not to mention that behind him are the ancestors of your Wangjia Village."

The old people who came to watch nodded vigorously, and these words touched their hearts.

"Secretary..."

Wang Laoliu handed the torch to Wang Yousheng again.

"Brother, I am unworthy of it." Wang Yousheng said to Lin Shaowen with a red face.

"Don't waste time." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"Hey."

Wang Yousheng lit the kiln fire.

"Good luck with the fire, and everything will go smoothly and safely."

With Wang Laoliu's singing, six brick kilns were ablaze.

Seeing this, Lin Shaowen reached out and patted Wang Yousheng on the shoulder, then went home to sleep.

Wang Yousheng opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

Brick burning usually lasts for about a week. During this week, almost all the people in the village are around the brick kiln. Even those who live far away have to go to the river every day.

Lin Shaowen is still doing his own thing, either teaching students or treating people.

Compared with Lin Shaowen's calmness, Wang Yousheng is not like that. He guards the brick kiln every day, goes there before dawn, and doesn't go home until midnight. In just a few days, he has lost a lot of weight.

It was not easy to get through the day of opening the kiln.

This time Wang Laoliu was very discerning and went directly to Wang Yousheng.

Wang Yousheng glanced at Lin Shaowen, and only after seeing his smiling face did he open the kiln door.

"The sound of the kiln door is worth a fortune."

After Wang Laoliu shouted, everyone gathered around.

Lin Shaowen took the red brick handed over by Wang Yousheng, weighed it, held the brick in his left hand, and chopped it down with his right hand.

Bang!

After a crisp sound, the red brick broke into two pieces.

"Hiss."

Many people took a breath of cold air.

Many people knew that Lin Shaowen had kung fu.

But they really didn't expect that he could split bricks with one hand, especially such thick red bricks.

Zhang Xiaoyu was watching from the side with a smile, and her eyes were almost shining with stars.

"Village chief... How is the quality of this brick?" Wang Yousheng swallowed his saliva.

"Not bad."

Lin Shaowen waved his hand and said, "You arrange for people to build the factory first. If someone wants to see our quality in the future, take them to the factory to see it."

"Okay."

Wang Yousheng nodded hurriedly.

Lin Shaowen smiled andTurning around, he immediately bared his teeth.

Damn, the quality of this brick is too hard, almost broke his hand.

Zhang Xiaoyu saw this, stepped forward to rub his hands with both heartache and amusement.

Wang Yongnian saw this, just about to say something, but was glared at by Wang Yousheng.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, tell the village, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will kill him."

"Yes, Secretary."

Wang Yongnian trembled all over, dare not say more.

Village branch.

Lin Shaowen hesitated for a moment, but still made a phone call.

"Hello..."

"Mr. Zhao, this is Lin Shaowen."

"Wow, why did you think of calling me? What problems did you encounter?" Zhao Qingming laughed heartily.

"Mr. Zhao, I want to ask... Have Sister Qingmei and Li Xinmin divorced?" Lin Shaowen said softly.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Zhao Qingming frowned slightly.

"If they are divorced, then forget about this matter. If they are not divorced... then I would like to ask him to do me a favor." Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly.

"Oh, what ability does he have to help you?" Zhao Qingming was surprised.

In his eyes, Li Xinmin is just a person who can only flatter.

His administrative ability is average, but he is good at wielding power.

For such a person, execution is a light punishment.

"I have a brick factory in Wangjia Village, and the bricks produced are of very good quality. You know... the supply and marketing cooperatives can't consume so many, so I can only find sales channels myself." Lin Shaowen was helpless.

Now many things are not that they can't be made, but what to do with them after you make them.

Private transactions? Don't make a fuss, speculation is a serious crime.

Only public to public, that is, you find a unit to receive the materials yourself. Generally speaking, everyone is extremely poor and has no money to pay you, but we can barter. I will exchange my supplies for your supplies. As long as the unit does not suffer losses, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye.

Zhao Qingming pondered for a long time before speaking, "Your sister Qingmei does not want to divorce him."

"I understand." Lin Shaowen breathed a sigh of relief.

"He is a criminal. If there is a place where he can make use of his remaining energy, it can be regarded as a waste utilization." Zhao Qingming said softly.

"Okay, if possible, let him come to my place." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"Xiao Lin..."

Zhao Qingming hesitated for a while before speaking, "I thank you on behalf of your sister Qingmei."

"You're welcome. We are all family."

Lin Shaowen breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhao Qingmei does not want to divorce Li Xinmin, then it can be regarded as saving his life.
