The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Yan Laoer went to three brick factories, one in Dongqiao Town in Gufeng, and the other two in Yongning across the river.

Even inquiring and asking for directions, there were many twists and turns along the way.

He ordered 20,000 red bricks for each family, taking advantage of his thick skin, and bargained down to 10,000 yuan.

The same overpayment deposit, and then softly pull away the spot.

Gufeng's Dongqiao Town and Huju's Xiqiao Town are too close, and there is a certain competitive relationship, so let him fool around and give him a full 8,000 yuan.

The business of the two brick factories in Yongning is booming, and the business is also big. They care about a lot of people alone, and they don't think much of his three melons and two dates.

But Yan Lao Er didn't go there with an empty car, he still brought the burnt charcoal.

Each of the three brick factories kept a bag.

About thirty catties.

He brags to others that his family has charcoal-burning skills. He just came to Guanzhou and settled in Huju. He has nothing to do with it. Charcoal costs three yuan per hundred catties. He can make as little as two yuan and eight yuan. Tell him about it, his home is in the west of Dashiqiao Forest, in the former wasteland.

Sending some samples first can be regarded as a referral benefit, which was used badly in his era, but it is very useful to put it here.

The two brick factories in Yongning gave him 5,000 yuan each, and the other one asked him to come back in three days to see if it was out of the kiln on that day, he might be able to take some away.

Yan Laoer and Qi Si have been busy running around, tired and happy.

In the middle of the homesteads of the Yan and Qi families, there are piles of red bricks.

These red bricks are different in size and color because of the different factories, but this is not a problem.

The point is, tomorrow he can find someone to build a house!

...

When Yan Yu came back from the field, he saw that his house was full of bricks.

shocked!

After being surprised, he quickly grasped the situation.

Start selling bricks.

Pull up the big brother, one by one to collect money.

Hehe, of course the eldest brother remembered that she took the money!

Nanny Rong didn't leave, but helped to make a fire and cook, boiled water to soak chrysanthemums, went to the river to carry two buckets of water and came back, and wiped the small square table where Yan's family ate. After observing the surroundings, she moved some bricks They were neatly stacked, the small square table was placed on top, and some were stacked around to replace those low wooden stools...

Li Xuemei sat on the stool made of bricks, not to mention, it's really good.

The height is very suitable, and it is really friendly to her pregnant woman.

Before sitting on a small stool, I just felt that sitting was a bit inconvenient, especially when the whole family was eating together, and Lao Yan was in front of her. She had to pay attention to her sitting posture and could only turn sideways and twist slightly.

It is much more comfortable now, the legs hang down naturally, and the stomach is much looser.

Seeing that the second aunt tacitly allowed Aunt Rong to help with the work, Da Ya didn't say much, but her eyes couldn't help falling on her, following her every move.

Seeing that Aunt Rong quickly arranged the housework in a clear and clear manner, especially the matter of using bricks to pad out the tables and chairs, it touched Da Ya a lot.

Her memory of her own mother is already very vague, and what she remembers most is the busy figure of her second aunt.

When Second Aunt was pregnant with Erya, she was still young and didn't know much about it. She only remembered the day that Second Aunt gave birth, and she suffered a great crime after giving birth for one day and one night.

Before she was confinement, Second Aunt started to work, tied Erya in front of her body, and was busy.

At that time, the second uncle ran out all day, and the second aunt ran the house alone.

Da Ya used to think that she would help Second Aunt with more work and let her relax to be good to Second Aunt, but today she discovered that doing work is different from doing work. She is also a girl with quick hands and feet, but just like Aunt Rong Compared with each other, the gap is immediately apparent.

And Aunt Rong is especially thinking about my second aunt...

Yan Yu didn't know that the appearance of Nanny Rong would touch and change Da Ya's sister's heart.

She was counting the copper coins excitedly, and the sound of the collision between the copper plates was so pleasant to the ear.

"Brother, Grandpa Song's family record is 400 yuan."

"Second Uncle Wang, two hundred."

"Uncle Li, two hundred yuan, Feng Nian, don't do it, just count it by the side. Uncle Li, I'll charge you eight qian, should I find you more broken silver or more copper plates? Copper plates? Alright, five qian for you A piece of broken silver hangs sixty coins."

"Uncles, don't do it yourself, let Fengnian count for you. The bricks my father pulled back from the kiln are not the same. It is better to use bricks from the same kiln. Look, the size and color are the same. It will not look good if they are mixed. .”

Yan Yu's small-mouthed output, Yan Xiangheng continued to write without raising his head or eyes.

Liang Fengnian was instigated by her to wander around, and after counting for one family, he counted for that family. Luo's family was helping from Datie to Sitie.

The big dog and the little dog who just came back from the field also quickly joined the ranks of moving bricks.

Mrs. Cui didn't even bother to cook, so she came over and saw the neatly stacked red bricks, and kept thinking about how many bricks she would use for her house.

"Master, how many bricks do you think our family will buy enough? I want to build a double stove." Madam Cui turned her head and said.

Cui Langzhong said in a low voice: "Not only should the stove be counted, but the kang should also be used."

Mrs. Cui admired: "Father Gouzi, it's still you. You usually don't say a word, and you bite bones when you open your mouth. We have to hurry up and buy enough for Brick before others react."

Cui Langzhong: ...

I suspect you are talking about my dog!

Forget it, don't know her as well.

"One thousand." Cui Langzhong gave such a figure after careful consideration.

"So much?" Madam Cui frowned.

Cui Langzhong patiently said to her: "Look, you want a double stove, right? We still have to cook a kang. The big dog and the little dog don't live in the same room. Do we have to have two kangs? If there is less, we have to add more.”

Mrs. Cui said: "A big plate is enough. I have inquired about it. Here in Guanzhou, the whole family sleeps on the kang, and they sleep together in winter to save firewood."

Don't look at them not going out, the news is not slow to circulate.

The yamen servant who measured the land for them also talked about the customs here.

Cui Langzhong said: "You also said that if you have to make a big one, then you need to use more bricks. Don't worry, there must be no leftovers."

Seeing his wife rushing to buy bricks, Cui Langzhong secretly laughed.

It is impossible to use two heated kangs, and it is a waste, and it is unlikely that so many bricks will be used to build a large kang.

The remaining bricks, hehe, can we build an extra small stove just for him...

Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan came back from a business trip and watched from the side for a while.

Seeing that his son was handled so smoothly by Yan Xiaoer, Liang Manshan felt strange.

What Yan Huaiwen saw was the little niece's mental arithmetic ability, and that sweet little mouth, no matter if she was familiar with her or not, her grandparents, uncles and aunts would call her dear when she came.

Look at her Big Tie Brother, Three Tie Brothers, Big Gouzi and Little Gouzi Brothers... Barking as naturally as her own brother, how close her mouth is, how natural it is to use people.

Yan Huaiwen slowly raised the corners of his lips, with a little smile in his eyes.
