According to Ou Fuhai, the master has been hired, with a monthly salary of three hundred. He will come during the Chinese New Year, but before he comes, he draws a picture and asks to dig oval trenches on the ground that are forty meters long and twenty meters apart.

The size was also marked and stuffed into Huaiqiang's hand.

Huaiqiang went to Cheng Tieniu's house, and he and Cheng Tieniu went to the bottom of the mountain to roughly measure it. There was a large open space in the north and south that was more suitable. They found a thicker branch and drew a circle. When they saw the size of the ditch, Cheng Tieniu was shocked.

, it should be four meters wide and two meters deep.

Cheng Wang also came over, listened for a long time to understand, and asked Huaiqiang: "Uncle, just dig a pit for 120 meters, and it costs 10 yuan per meter. Uncle, it also costs 1,200 yuan. Secretary Cheng will not send anyone. Your two cousins

When I was in school, no one sent me, not even Dean Ou, to dig the soil. It was destined to be dug by the two of us. Uncle, you won’t trick me, right?"

Huai Qiang calculated that in this 120-meter-deep ditch, the two of them could each dig one meter a day, and it would be okay to lead the night shift. After all, digging earthwork is a strenuous job, and people are exhausted from doing it.

After all, Huaiqiang didn't dare to take charge of the family with a total expenditure of two hundred yuan. The next day, Ou Fuhai called Ou Fuhai. Ou Fuhai called Cheng Tieniu and asked him to dig a meter first. Cheng Tieniu knew what Dean Ou meant, but he was honest by nature and would not play tricks.

Head, in less than an hour, a square meter of soil has indeed been thrown out. The more you dig downward, the more difficult it becomes. The bottom layer of soil thrown upward is already more than a person high. Ten yuan per rice is really not expensive.

After Ou Fuhai read it, he frowned and said, "The investment is worth every penny. The profits from the bricks will be paid to you first."

Cheng Tieniu's money has been paid to Huai Qiang, and he is planning to buy brick-making equipment and electricity for the New Year. He has to give it back. He doesn't have the money to buy it anyway. There is no river soil this year, and he has been idle for half a winter. If he can put in some effort, he will be able to make it.

Try harder. Cheng Tieniu agreed!

Ou Fuhai had to vaccinate the primary school in the afternoon and had to leave. Huaiqiang had not done much work. After all, he had been hanging out in the countryside all day and was not an expert at farm work. He also found a shovel to help him do it. He worked until noon and his waist was not straight.

When I got up, my arms were sore and unbearable. Cheng Tieniu and his son did hard physical work as if nothing was wrong. The food was hard, including white flour steamed buns and vermicelli, cabbage and meat slices.

Huaiqiang only drank four ounces of old roast and couldn't eat more than a few mouthfuls of rice. He hurried home in despair. When he got home, he got a change of clothes and went to the village bathhouse to take a bath. When he got to the door, he came back and asked for 20 cents for the bath ticket. Wife

Reaching out for the money, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where's the five yuan I gave you this morning?"

"While eating at Chengjiazhuang, I bought three bottles of Pingxian Daqu and a pack of Hongqibing cigarettes, and I still have six cents left," Huaiqiang replied.

Five dollars! My wife felt bad, but the money was spent in the right place, and she couldn’t say anything, so she had to give her another twenty cents.

The pits were dug, and a brick-making machine had to be bought. Advertisements for brick-making machines for sale in Gong County were broadcast on the radio every day. After passing through Wuhan, Huaiqiang did not dare to risk a business trip, so he went to the county material store to buy one.

The second pole is still a way in, so let the village electrician pull the electricity.

The electrician first came to Huaiqiang and handed over a list of materials. After Huaiqiang read it and saw that the total was 900 yuan, he was completely confused. He took the piece of paper to Cheng Erzhanzi's house, and when he met, he cursed, "I'm talking about you!"

You are a fool, you make a living, right? I only spent more than 2,000 yuan to buy a brick making machine, but you asked me for 900 yuan just for a piece of electricity, why didn't you go and rob it?"

Of course Cheng Erzhangzi didn't listen to him. He put the two-foot-long pipe rod away from his waist and responded: "Well, you heartless Huaiqiang, from the transformer to the rice brick making machine, there are enough

There are more than two hundred meters. You don’t have to spend money to buy things. You let me use my belt to pull it for you. Let me tell you, this is for our own use. Keep everything simple. If you replace me with a second person, I think you will definitely be like me.

, and got a kickback of two hundred yuan."

Huaiqiang was scolded by Cheng Ergangzi, and his mind came to his senses. Electricity was in short supply in every village. If it fell to him, Huaiqiang, as Cheng Ergangzi said, there would be a two hundred yuan rebate. The problem

It was because he had no money in his hand, so he said helplessly, "Cheng Erzhangzi, I don't have any money in my hand anymore. Can you get me involved first? After selling the bricks, I'll pay you back first!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't have money, you can't build a brick factory." Cheng Erzhangzi said to Huaiqiang with disdain on his face: "Go ahead and get money. You can use it whenever you have money."

You damn fool, Huaiqiang cursed secretly, as if the brick factory belongs to me alone, and he spoke so ruthlessly.

The most irritating thing was that when he returned to the village, he happened to meet Lai Sanmu. He knew that since he bought a brick-making machine, people in the neighboring villages had spread rumors that he had set up a brick-burning factory. Unexpectedly, Lai Sanmu also knew that since Ni

Ni married Zheng Wei, and the relationship between Lai Juan and Yan Changsheng became clear. Lai Sanmu has consciously changed his name from brother to vague. Lai Sanmu raised his hand and said: "Secretary Huaiqiang, are you busy?"

"Oh! Yes, I just came back from Chengjiazhuang." As soon as the words came out, Huaiqiang wanted to slap himself in the face. It was obviously a convenient gift, and he could pass with just a hum, but he said one more word, and Lai Sanmu exhaled.

The old smoker replied: "In Chengjiazhuang Village, I heard that Tieniu's family also runs a brick-making factory. I didn't tell you earlier. The earliest brick-making machine in my factory was too small. It only took a few days to replace it with a high-power one.

It’s also free to use, so it’s great to give it to you for use!”

Oh my God! Lai Sanmu, Lai Sanmu, how can you play a chess piece like this? You can kill me with one shot after the fact!

After holding it in for a long time, Huai Qiang said, "Thank you. I'll ask Tieniu tomorrow if I want your gift."

"Okay, Lao Cheng is a very generous person, so he might be able to do it." After Lai Sanmu finished speaking, he waved goodbye and didn't know what he was busy with.

Huaiqiang thought to himself, Lai Sanmu, could you have said that you would die in one day? If you had said that in one day, even if I went to your house to pick up the machine and bought a box of wine and two cartons of cigarettes, it would only cost thirty yuan.

The two thousand dollars saved are enough to dig holes and pull out wires!

Fuck you, the eighteenth generation ancestor of Lai San Mu’s family!

After returning home, Huaiqiang was still not idle. He sat in front of the brazier with a pot of strong tea and a cigarette, planning the matter carefully.

The next day, Cheng Tieniu really went to Lai Sanmu's door with a red flag soldier under his arm. Lai Sanmu knew what Cheng Tieniu meant, and Huaiqiang passed on what he said last night. It seemed that Huaiqiang wanted to take advantage of this.

If you say it, the water will be thrown out. Lai Sanmu, surnamed Lairen, took Cheng Tieniu's hand and walked to the pile of the 80% new brick machine. Lai Sanmu was a meticulous person. After the machine was removed, he rinsed it clean.

Apply a layer of engine oil and the whole machine will be full of life.

The only drawback is that there is no motor, and the motor is used in the new machine.

"Give it to me for free?" Cheng Tieniu couldn't believe it. In his memory, he didn't have such a deep friendship with Lai Sanmu.

"It's for you. I won't need it anyway, but I have a request. When you wear it out or buy a new machine and don't plan to use it, you can send it back to me." Lai Sanmu said.

Make the request in a clear place.
