Chapter 179 178 "The party's policies are good."
So everyone pushed Shi Tiesheng out of the yard and walked towards Yuan Yuan's house.
Yuanyuan's house is at the edge of the village, with a row of five-hole cave dwellings with blue brick hoops in front!
"Tsk, tsk. Duan, you really did it." Shi Tiesheng praised.
In northern Qin, most cave dwellings have three holes in a row on the front. For example, the front of the Yuanya house has five holes, and they are all made of green bricks. There are four side kilns on the east and west sides. There are inverted stone kilns and livestock sheds in the south building.
This hospital room is now one of the best in Yanchuan. No wonder Shi Tiesheng praised it.
Ruan Er said with a smile: "The party's policies are good."
Everyone suddenly laughed.
Lu Yao followed behind with a cigarette. He was not familiar with these fellow villagers, so he never spoke. But when he heard Er Yuan talk about making a fortune in brick kilns, he suddenly became interested and said: "Er Er Yuan, can I go to your brick kiln to have a look?"
"No problem!" Yuan Yuan agreed: "But, Writer Lu, the conditions of the brick factory are not good and the dust is too big. The clothes are stained.”
"What's the matter? I've been in a mine before, and I came out all dressed in black. Do you still care about this? Let's go. Leave now!"
"Huh? You've been in a mine? You are a writer, you are really amazing." Full of admiration.
"Mainly preparing materials for writing." Lu Yao replied: "Walking there?"
"Take a tractor, the brick factory is still some distance away."
"Okay!"
Lu Yao jumped into the car and sat in the passenger seat. Without any hesitation, Yuan Yuan drove his tractor and drove Lu Yao out.
Shi Tiesheng didn't go over because of his inconvenient legs, and Fang Minghua didn't go either. He knew why Lu Yao was suddenly so towards the brick factory. interested.
In the novel "The Ordinary World", didn't Sun Shaoan run a brick factory? Did you get the inspiration from here?
He doesn’t quite know.
But no matter what, the writing is quite true.
Yuan Yuan accompanied Lu Yao to visit his brick factory, and his wife Cailing was still there.
Cai Ling is a typical Qin Bei aunt, with a dark red face and very simple appearance, but there is a hint of shrewdness in her eyes.
Before leaving, her husband had asked her to entertain her well, and he quickly welcomed everyone into the cave in the middle with a smile. It was very spacious, and Fang Minghua saw a black and white TV set on the table against the wall!
Just this TV shows how wealthy the owner's family is, which is at least richer than the Sun Shao'an family in the novel.
According to the rules, Cai Ling invited Fang Minghua and the others to get on the kang, and also brought melon seeds, peanuts and candies to the small table on the kang for them to eat.
"Writers, please chat first while I go cook for you." Cailing greeted her and left the cave.
The villagers chatted for a while and then dispersed. Near noon, the sound of tractors was heard outside again, and Lu Yao and Yuan Yuan came back.
I saw that Lu Yao was sweating profusely and the short-sleeved shirt on his body was already wet, but he was very excited.
"Minghua, Tie Sheng, Yuan Yuan and I just went to the brick factory and learned a lot about the living conditions."
"Lu Yao, it seems that there is preparation in your novel Did you write about Brickyard?" Shi Tiesheng asked.
"Yes, my idea is that the second protagonist gets rich by opening a brick factory." Lu Yao said: "When the weather gets cooler in the evening, I will go over and have a look."
During lunch, Yuan Yuan also invited his parents over. There were eight of them, including Yuan Yuan's son, a boy with a tiger-like head. They all gathered around the table to eat and chat.
First is a pot of stew. Qinbei's stews are very unique, including three delicacies stew - potato cubes, roast pork and round noodles, as well as pea cold skin, stir-fried dumplings, and haggis. Of course, you can't forget to open a bottle of the local Jiulongting wine, Nanni Bay Winery.
Oh my god. 65 degrees!
"Both Tie Sheng and Li Zhe know how hard it was for us here in those years! After the land was divided into households in the past few years, there have been great changes. The policies are good. I really want to thank the party!"
Fang Minghua could see that this middle-aged man really spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Lu Yao is known to the locals. I guess you don't know Minghua." At this time, Shi Tiesheng intervened: "Back then, Li Zhe and I responded to the call and took the train from Yanjing to Qinbei. You know What did we see?”
“What did we see?”
“I clearly remember that dozens of us fellow villagers carried our luggage and climbed up the mountain with camel-like steps. , each piece of luggage weighs seventy or eighty pounds. The mountains are high and steep, and they are equally bare, with winding trails on them.”
"It took a long time to walk down a mountain ridge, and a half day to climb up a mountain ridge. Looking around, there are still endless ridges, mountains, deep ravines and ravines. It's like the vastness is connected to the sky.
The top of the mountain is covered with flat loose soil. Li Zhe gasped and asked me, "Are there any crops grown on this mountain?" "
" The iron voice said it was impossible. "Li Zhe took over the conversation and said with a smile.
"But the fellow said that we must plant crops, why don't we make it so flat? "A fellow villager who followed said.
"What to plant? ”
"Wheat."
"How much is the yield per mu?"
"Two or three buckets."
"How many kilograms are two or three buckets?"
"Seven or eighty pounds combined."
"One acre only weighs seven or eighty pounds?!"
"We were dumbfounded at the time. One acre only produces this much?!"
"What Tie Sheng and I thought at the time was, It’s over. Before I left, I said that I could eat white flour steamed buns. That was a lie.”
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
“With the use of chemical fertilizers in recent years, and the increasing enthusiasm of people to distribute fields to households, the wheat yield per mu is higher, but it cannot exceed 200 kilograms.” Yuan Yuan continued:
< br>
"Even if you dig out more than ten acres of your family's land every day, you can't dig out any golden lumps? At most, you can have a full stomach, so I thought about finding a way to get rich. Later, I went to Yan'an to inquire about how to make money by opening a brick kiln. I took out my family savings and borrowed another 2,000 yuan from a credit union, and hired a master from Henan Province to start this brick factory.” It was not burned through and was all scrapped. My wife was crying so sadly at that time. I don’t think she cried so hard when her father passed away.”
Hearing what her husband said, Cai Ling felt a little embarrassed and stared. He glanced at him and said, "Aren't you still crying? A grown man, crying like a child."
The Second Hospital laughed twice, took a sip of wine and said: "Crying is crying, After crying, you still have to work. Now that you have taken this road, you have to go on no matter how hard or tired you are. Fortunately, the quality of the bricks in the next few kilns is good, so you can finally get through it.”
“It’s not easy for you. ." Lu Yao said emotionally.
"It's not easy, but Writer Lu, what's easy to do? It's not easy for you to be a writer, right? And Li Zhe was a doctor, but he took huge risks to perform operations on the villagers! And he also delivered babies to pregnant women, maybe It’s just one corpse and two lives.”
“Fortunately, no one died in my hands.” Sun Lizhe also took a sip of wine and said with a smile: “When it gets cooler in the afternoon, I will go to the original village. Check out the cooperative medical station. "
"There is no barefoot doctor now, and the medical station in Murakami has been closed for a long time. There are only a few broken chairs and stools, nothing interesting to see." Yuan Yuan advised.
“I still want to take a look.” Sun Lizhe was a little stubborn.
