Early in the morning, before the sun rose from the back of the mountain opposite the Dongla River, the sleeping Shuangshui village people heard the rumble of machines coming from Hougou Road.

This is another busy day for Shao 'an Brick Factory.

Since the day when Sun Shaoan, a new strongman in Shuangshui Village, made bricks with machines, this sound has been shaking this ancient village every day.

In the first few days, the whole village, no matter adults or children, visited the "factory" run by the Sun family. People gathered around the mysterious brick-making machine and watched the adobe flow out of the conveyor belt like running water, with their mouths wide open in surprise. Ha, this thing is amazing! What can do such a good thing? If every family has such a machine, everyone can make a fortune!

When I knew the price of this guy, the crops were all tongue-wagging in shock.

Later, people got used to Shao 'an's "factory" and stopped visiting it. Damn it, watching it once makes people jealous! What's the use of jealous people? Incompetent people have to dig and eat on the land with their hands.

After the implementation of the responsibility system in Shuangshui Village, it suddenly calmed down a lot. As we know, this once famous downtown village, formerly called Ma, seems to be singing big plays every day. But now, people grow crops in single households and seek their own conditions. Who has the mind to meddle in those affairs? Besides, there is no chance to be together. Take the initiative to visit? There is no time! Incredibly, people in a village haven't seen each other for months! The "gossip centers" in various parts of the village have already closed automatically; Only a few old people who can't get out of the mountain gather on the official road outside the kiln, watching the passing cars and pedestrians and chatting about their old topics. What a quiet Shuangshui Village!

However, outsiders don't know that in fact, everyone in the village has never been so turbulent and noisy as it is now.

Yes, the new life has brought new problems, new contradictions and new contradictions. After most people have eaten their stomachs, they must seek a new way out and new development. As a result, many new and difficult classics appeared. As for a few families where the sun and the moon are not as good as the collective, the sorrow and pain are increasing day by day-in the past, when there was a big pot of rice, no one could get a share in the bowl. Nobody cares now! Are you poor? Find your own way! Don't you want to do anything? Then you are poor!

Many people in Shuangshui Village don't know that Sun Shaoan, the talent they admire, has his own troubles now. As the saying goes: I don't know how difficult it is to be a family!

Think about it, too, Sun Shaoan spread out such a big battlefield, and want to make some tricks, it is little not his epigenetic distress. Yes, he is really worried about his career-but more worrying than that!

After returning to the village from the county a few days ago, although I was still as nervous as ever to invest in the noise of the brick factory, I always felt very heavy. His sister's tearful eyes appeared in front of him from time to time. He worked in a brick factory, and he swallowed painfully. He understood why his sister didn't want his money. Lan Xiang, who is sensible, loves him dearly and understands him. She is also afraid that Xiulian will quarrel with him. Alas, a few years ago, he never expected such a situation. Things are getting better, but the family is falling apart! But then again, how can he blame him for Xiulian?

She has suffered a lot since she came to this home! Now, she is trying to help him hold up this big stall. She is busy at home and in the brick factory, and her hands are often chapped with blood ... Although she insists on separation, according to local customs, it is impeccable to treat the elderly. Usually, the family here cooks something delicious to drink, and she always brings some to the three old people there. When it was cold, my mother's eyes were not good, so she stayed up all night and took down the cotton-padded clothes and trousers of the old people and washed them. Even if he measured salt for the old man to buy oil, she never said anything. It's just that he wants to give the family a large sum of money, and she is a little unhappy-the money belongs to her, and she can't hide a penny from her ... He thinks that after separation, he has not done his duty to the family. There should always be a way; But he is too busy with his own affairs to take care of his relatives.

What are we going to do? It won't help much to give them some odds and ends. On the contrary, they had to gnash their teeth and bicker with their wives ... Shao An was working hard in his brick factory while thinking anxiously.

Later, he suddenly thought: It is better to persuade Shao Ping to come back and run a brick factory with him! Yes, he spent a lot of money to hire people from both sides. Why did he let his brother live outside to earn other people's money? How much can Shao Ping earn in January? If my brother comes back to run this brick factory with him, the two of them will operate in partnership, split in two and earn dividends, and both of them will turn over. If so, Xiulian has nothing to say. He believes that he can persuade his wife. This is the most fundamental solution, so that they actually become a family again!

All right! It should have been done long ago.

When Sun Shaoan thought of this, he stopped working and quickly rolled up a long stemmed Chinese pipe. He began to think deeply about how to implement the plan. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. My younger brother is highly educated, and he may soon be able to operate the brick making machine independently, without paying a lot of money to hire this Henan master. One of the two brothers is in charge of the brick factory, and the other is out for "diplomacy". Maybe they can do more!

Sun Shaoan's nose is full of smoke. After smoking a cigarette by the brick making machine, he decided to go to Huangyuan to find Shao Ping tomorrow.

Will Shao Ping come back? This is a problem.

Shao An feels that Shao Ping and he are the same in suffering, but they are quite different from him in other aspects. My brother often has some strange ideas in his mind. Well, maybe I read too many books!

However, he thinks he will definitely call his brother. He knows that Shao Ping can't earn much money outside. At the beginning, he didn't want to run a brick factory with him, but wanted to make a living outside-young man, which is understandable. If his family couldn't keep up, he might have gone on a trip. If Shao Ping can't get out, he will naturally turn back. As for the account he moved out of, it's very simple, just move back; Shuangshui Village will not shut out people who are rooted in their hometown.

Sun Shaoan thought about it and decided to take the shuttle bus to Huangyuan tomorrow morning-this will be the farthest place he has ever been.

When sleeping at night, he told Xiulian about going to Huangyuan. Of course, he didn't say he was going to find Shao Ping. He lied to his wife that an acquaintance told him that a dismounted unit in Huangyuan had an old motor, which was very cheap to handle. He wanted to see if he could come back in a day or two. He can't explain his plan to his wife now. When Shao Ping comes back, he will discuss the matter with her again-it won't help whether she agrees to cook uncooked rice or not.

Shao An wanted to discuss it with his father first, but he didn't think it was necessary. As long as Shao Ping is willing to come back to work with him, his father will certainly not object and will be very happy. He had to convince Shao Ping first.

The next morning, he changed into the "diplomatic" uniform that Xiulian washed for him. On the way below his home, he raised the stiff arm of the cultivator and waved his hand to block the bus to Huangyuan.

He stepped into the carriage with a little excitement, waved to his wife and son who were seeing him off in front of the window glass, and was pulled by a car to the distant city ... At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Shaoan arrived at Huangyuan.

When he came out of the bus station with a dusty black leather bag on his back, he was immediately dazzled and dizzy by the sight of the city. He can't even tell the difference between east, west, north and south. He looked up at the sun over the city and felt that it was just the opposite of the sun in Shuangshui Village-the sun set eastward? Oh, my God! This is Huang Yuan? Such a big city? I'm afraid it's one block farther than Shuangshui Village to Guanzi Village.

Now he wants to ask where Dongguan Post is. When he left, he was going to find Jin Junhai and his son first. Shao Ping is a hired worker, who knows where he is. Find Jun Hai's father and son, and you will see Shao Ping-the letter written at home is also sent here for them to pass.

Sun Shaoan walked up to an old man who was sweeping the street, first took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man. The old man was surprised. Shao Anxiao asked, "Old man, where is Dongguan Post?" As he spoke, he took out a lighter and lit it for the old man.

The old cleaner was moved-he had probably never met such a polite person asking for directions.

The old man held up his broom and gave him enthusiastic advice for a long time-in fact, it was not far ahead

Shao An thanked the old man and hurried to the front. His heart sank.

No sooner had he stepped into the gate of the post office than the old man who looked after the porter shouted. When Shao An told him who to look for, the old porter told him that Jin Junhai and his son got off the bus and would not come back for a day or two.

Fuck it! What should I do?

Sun Shaoan stood at the gate with a layer of sweat hanging on his head. He is a stranger. Where can he interrogate his brother?

He turned to the street in panic and stood in front of a grocery store, not knowing what to do.

He thought of moistening leaves. Besides Jin Bo and his son, the people he knows in this city are Runye and her second father. Tian Fujun is the secretary of the prefectural party committee. Maybe there is a policeman standing guard at the door and he can't get in. Runye heard that there might not be a policeman coming to work in the Youth League Committee, but he couldn't muster the courage to look for her ... According to the shadows of trees and telephone poles cast on the ground, Shao An knew it was getting late. No matter how long it takes, he must have a place to stay first. Yes, go to the hotel! If there is no place to live at night, he will have to spend the night in this street. He saw many arrows on the wall of Dongguan House, pointing to some hotels. According to his experience in the former western county, he knew that these hotels were privately operated. He is afraid of living in a "black shop" because he has hundreds of dollars on him! If a thief touches it, it doesn't matter! I heard that there are many thieves and beggars in the city-people in the city have more money, and thieves and beggars of course all go to the city; Jin Fu of their village heard that he was doing this "business" in Huangyuan.

He decided to stay in a state-run hotel. He traditionally trusts public institutions and feels safer there. He should always pay attention to his money. Because the first time I went out, I really couldn't understand the cost, so I brought more money. In addition, he doesn't know what his brother sacrificed and is ready to help him solve his difficulties at any time.

Sun Shaoan, carrying a black leather bag, crossed the crowded crowd in Dongguan, came to the old Huangyuan River Bridge and walked to the other side of the street. He paid attention to the words on the house number all the way, looking for a hotel where he could stay. He is sure that all the public hotels are on the street.

I asked several hotels in succession, but they were all full. Sun Shaoan is a little nervous. Oh, the big place is really not a bumpkin, and you can't even find a place to live with money!

Sun Shaoan came up from Huangyuan Street in a panic and went all the way to Beiguan, but he never found a place to live.

He happened to catch a glimpse of the sign of "Huangyuan Hotel". He knows this is an advanced place. I wonder if ordinary people can live there?

Because there was no other way, Shao An came up with an ambitious idea: simply try your luck at Huangyuan Hotel!

So he got up his courage and walked into this magnificent "palace" with his heart pounding.

Sun Shaoan is lucky! "Huangyuan Hotel" doesn't have many meetings recently, and it receives individual guests.

"I live in a hotel ..." He timidly went to the counter in the registration room and stammered to an "office" girl inside.

The word "hotel" obviously made the registered girl look up at him curiously.

The girl asked, "How many people?"

"Just me." Shao An said with a smile.

While issuing the invoice, the girl said, "Proof."

"documents?" Less Ann asked in surprise.

The girl looked up, stopped charging and said, "Where are you from? What unit? "

"I'm a farmer, and I'm here to find my brother, so I don't have any papers ..." He said honestly.

Seeing that he was not lying, the girl asked, "Do you have a letter of introduction?"

Fuck it! I forgot to give Tian Haimin a letter of introduction when I left. He had to tell the truth again: "I was so busy that I forgot to open a letter of introduction in the team." "According to the regulations, we can't let you live without a letter of introduction." The girl put the pen aside.

"Oh, good comrade! I'm a stranger and it's my first time in other places. When I crossed a street, I couldn't find the next place to live. Please be kind enough to let me stay for one night ... "Shao An piteously begged the girl who signed up.

Seeing that he was so serious, the girl hesitated, opened the ticket and said, "Then you have to find another place to live tomorrow. Pay eighteen dollars. "

Oh, my God! Eighteen dollars a night?

If he knew it was so expensive, he would stay in the street all night instead of coming here!

But now he can't back down any more. It would be a pity if people "make an exception" and let you live, and you don't know good or bad.

Fuck it! A man is a man, not a bear. Eighteen dollars is eighteen dollars!

Shao An unbuttoned his coat with great boldness of vision, took out the pinned collar needle from the pocket of his close-fitting shirt, took out two stiff "great solidarity" and handed it to the girl who invoiced.

After completing the formalities, he went to the third floor of the middle building according to the room number on the invoice.

The waiter looked at the bill and himself for a long time before taking him into the room.

Shao An came into the room in surprise. Ah, such a wide house? The floor is carpeted, with double soft beds, and the snow-white bedding is a bit dazzling; There is a TV set on the desk ... Hey, you can find it for eighteen dollars!

He put the black leather bag on the carpet in the corner and looked at the room strangely. When he pushed open a small door in the aisle, he found a small room-hey, this is the bathhouse! With a toilet! He rushed in at once and turned on the tap of the enamel bathtub. Suddenly, a stream of water came out of nowhere and poured on his head, which startled him.

He gradually realized that one end of a soft metal pipe with a nozzle was connected to the faucet and the other end was supported on half a wall. Ah, this bathhouse can lie in the basin and wash and bathe. Extremely advanced

Sun Shaoan wiped her wet hair with a dry towel and left the bathhouse.

Now he is worried about where to find his brother. Anyway, we should find Shao Ping tonight. Otherwise, people will not be allowed to live here tomorrow, and he will have to cook for himself. Besides, the room rate in this place is too expensive, and people dare not live any more, only dare to make do with this night.

He went to the window, put his hands on the windowsill and looked out anxiously. It's getting dark, and the stars near and far are all lit up.

He suddenly remembered Tian Fujun's daughter Xiao Xia. He heard from Shao Ping that she was studying in Huangyuan Teachers College, and they also had contacts. Maybe she can know where Shao Ping is?

Yes, find this Tian Xiaoxia!

Sun Shaoan immediately turned around, picked up the black leather bag in the corner, pressed it under the quilt, and then hurried out of the door.

He inquired about the whereabouts of Huangyuan Teachers College in the street and went straight to Beiguan-he forgot that he hadn't had dinner yet. ...
