Chapter 193: Memories of Carrying Bricks
"The shoes are torn, the hat is torn, and the robe on the body is torn
You laugh at me, he laughs at me, and the fan breaks
There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south
There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south
Oops, hey, hey, hey, hey
No worries, no worries, no worries, no worries, sorrows, the world is hot and cold, and you can see through it
Walk, walk, have fun, have fun, where there is injustice, where there is me
Where there is injustice, where is me......
Walking on this country road, Rubidium swayed from side to side, the bag of things in her hand also shook rhythmically with her movements, and when she sang with high interest, she also used the bunch of leaves in her hand as a fan to fan, learning Jigong's leisurely appearance.
"Yo, you two fathers and daughters are going out into the street?" Rubidium sang happily, turning his head to look at the source of the voice.
"Cousin, why do you come out to dig the ground when you don't take a nap at home at noon?" The woman in front of her was wearing a straw hat and carrying a big hoe in her hand, and the beads of sweat on her face were flowing down one by one.
"Your cousin has been building a house for a team during this time, and I am the only one at home, if I don't dig up the ground quickly, this cowpea will not be able to be sown. Bao Meili wiped the sweat from her face, the hoe on her shoulder was as long as half an arm, and her thin body was a little difficult to carry, and she didn't know where she got so much strength.
"Oh...... No wonder my uncle is busy these days. Rubidium Chu nodded, his cousin and uncle were bricklayers, they both farmed at home when they had nothing to do, and went to work when they had a way to live.
"They're all together, and the whole team of men is almost gone, two dollars a day! It's almost ten days, and the two stinky boys in my house don't have to worry about the tuition. Bao Meili said, put the hoe on the ground, gestured at her with two fingers, and both eyes smiled and squinted.
If she works for ten days, she will have 30 yuan, and she will not have to worry about the tuition fees of the two stinky boys. I originally wanted my two sons to follow their husbands to learn the bricklayer's trade, but I didn't want to, neither of them did anything, and they had to study whatever they wanted, even if they had to read fifty or sixty points in every exam.
What Bao Meili didn't know was that her two boys would only make up their minds to study after following his father to study for a day, and the bricklayers were too tired, and they hoped that it would be best to study for a lifetime, without having to work, and still be able to eat and drink well. After school, I can go out with a group of brothers to see the world, and if I follow my father to learn bricklayering, I can't do anything, and I don't have clean clothes all day.
"Oh...... Is it Zhao Xiaoqi's family in the second team?" Hearing what her cousin said, Rubidium tilted her head and thought about it, she seemed to have a little memory!
In the previous life, the uncle was a brickmaker for Zhao Xiaoqi's family, and they also went to help, carrying bricks from the brick factory, a penny a piece, a brick is about three catties, generally the smallest can carry two pieces, come and go in a day at least can earn five cents (the least does not include her), the most can earn a dollar, this money is a lot of money for them.
Li Xiaopeng is the one who made five cents, and she made a dime. Originally, Zhaoxiaoqijia was not far from the brick factory, and it was only about ten minutes on foot, she had never done any heavy work since she was a child, one piece at a time, one piece at a time, ran ten times, and she couldn't run, seeing that they were carrying two pieces and three pieces on the ground, and she didn't finish one trip, and others finished the second trip, and then simply stopped doing it.
When the sun was setting in the west, one by one they went to the small shop at the entrance of the village, and one of them bought a penny of bean skin and made a tooth sacrifice. That was the first time she made money, and to this day, she still remembers it vividly.
The green bricks of three catties are not very heavy, but it is also a difficult thing for Rubidium Chu, who can't pick up his shoulders and can't lift his hands. When she got home, she woke up with a shoulder pain in the middle of the night, and she cried while covering the quilt - it hurt too much.
At a young age, she was afraid of being scolded by her mother, so she didn't dare to speak out loud or say anything about it.
At this time, the green bricks were fired from clay, which is the product of the long-term weathering of certain aluminosilicate minerals, and was named because of its strong viscosity. The clay is mixed with water to make bricks, which are calcined in a brick kiln (900°C-1100°C and lasts for 8-15 days) to make bricks. The clay contains iron, and when it is completely oxidized during the firing process, it produces ferric oxide, which is the most commonly used red brick, and if it is cooled with water during the firing process, the iron in the clay is incompletely oxidized (Fe3O4), which is cyan, that is, green bricks.
Green bricks are very convenient, many people will buy this house, and some still like to find stonemasons to build a house, anyway, the blue brick and tile houses of this era are still very popular, as soon as I hear which house to build this kind of house, the neighbors will go to help. Some are to give money, some are not to give money, bricklayers and stonemasons are to give money, if it is just to occasionally come to help with the handle, there is no need to give, anyway, everyone is a production team, every family has something, they are all helping each other.
"Yes, how do you know it's Zhao Xiaoqi's family? I know, her brother and you seem to be classmates, right?" Bao Meili looked at Rubidium Chu and suddenly reacted again.
She was originally on the first team, and she knew everything about her team.
"Yes, my cousin won't tell you, I'm going back. Seeing that her father was almost gone, he waved his hand at her and continued to walk towards home.
Along the way, there is no empty mouth, all the way are acquaintances, Rubidium's behavior has aroused everyone's praise, and they all say that Rubidium Chu's mouth is sweet.
Rubidium Chu just pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that his current life is really too beautiful. This kind of leisurely and complacent life makes her want to be so intoxicated.
There's fresh air, there's all-natural food, and she doesn't have to worry about the stuff that's upsetting.
"Hey, you two fathers and daughters are finally willing to come back!" Hu Lan, who was anxiously waiting at the door of her house with her son in her arms, finally looked forward to the return of her daughter and husband after many tosses.
When he saw these two familiar figures, Hu Lan also made a dissatisfied voice in his mouth.
The two fathers and daughters seem to be having a little fun, with piercing smiles on their faces, and because she has been worrying about them at home, these two feelings are still going shopping.
"Mom, don't be angry, you see what good things I bought you back. The trotter stepped forward, took his mother's arm and walked into the house.
"When...... While...... While...... When!" took something wrapped in oiled paper from the bag.
She remembers that her mother liked to eat Tongzi leaf baba the most, and in the winter moon, when the family soaked wine rice, she would make some to eat.
"You have a conscience. Sniffing through his nose and smelling the familiar smell, Hu Lan smiled slightly. The story of the reborn wife chasing her husband
