CHAPTER XVIII

In a blink of an eye, it has been five days since Xiao Yan came back from rebirth, and these days she has been busy with her younger brother's illness, struggling with food and clothing, and has not taken care of her eldest brother's side.

Xiao Yan's eldest brother is called Xiao Gang, Xiao Yan is two years old, and he is sixteen years old this year.

Because of a high fever when I was a child, my mind stayed forever at the age of eight, and the Xiao family was sad at that time, but they also thought of a very real problem, the child is not cured, what will happen when they grow up in the future, they are old and gone, who will take care of the child in the future, considering these problems, there was Xiao Hui later.

The whole family also took great care of Xiao Gang because of his mental problems, and sent the child to school when he was old, but Xiao Gang's situation at school was not good, and he didn't go to the second grade for several years, not to mention, his classmates were laughing at him, and in the end, the teacher really couldn't help it, so he talked to Xiao's father and let him take the child back! In the end, Xiao's father had to take the child back.

Xiao Gang is okay at home, he will help Xiao Dad do some woodwork, give Xiao Dad a hand, at that time Xiao Dad's carpentry skills are still very popular, sometimes too busy, Xiao Gang is still very useful. After going back and forth, Xiao's father saw that his son was quite interested in carpentry, and explained how to do the work, and he could complete it seriously, and sometimes he could complete it very well. Thinking that although his son was not smart, he would not worry about having a skill in eating, so he simply passed on his craft to his eldest son.

Xiao Gang's intelligence can't keep up, and sometimes he can't remember it after teaching it several times, but he is a child who admits death, he does it twice if he can't do it well, and he can't do it twice three times until he does it well.

After a long time, Xiao Gang's work is better than Xiao's father, which really makes Xiao's father feel very relieved, I thought that after I left with the child's mother, the eldest son will have to rely on his younger siblings to help, but I didn't expect to be able to learn his skills unexpectedly, and Xiao's father has been humming songs for several days.

But not long after the joy, the wood work industry is becoming more and more sluggish, now there are more and more furniture factories, the family machine qì mass production, there is no manual fine, but it is also beautiful, and the work is fast, mainly the price is cheaper, so a lot of family furniture choose to buy ready-made.

For this reason, Xiao's father was worried again, that is, because he decided to go out to work and save some money for the children while he was young.

Xiao Yan tightened the only coat that had just been turned out of the cabinet, earthy yellow, not to mention old-fashioned, and there were many folds, if it weren't for the fact that she really had no clothes to wear, she wouldn't wear such ugly clothes, she didn't know what to wear when she was young, what to wear, but she was no longer a yellow-haired girl who didn't understand anything and hadn't seen anything in the world.

But there is no way, I haven't woken up this morning, and the wind has risen, although it is not very strong, but it has made the temperature drop a lot suddenly, and it is really not good to wear more gowns.

No, I have to buy some winter clothes quickly, and if she can put a dress on her body as before, regardless of beauty or ugliness, she really can't do it.

She went to the county seat today to find the eldest brother, and came to the county seat a few times, but she has never had the opportunity to go, first, the furniture factory where the eldest brother is now located is on the edge of the south of the city, almost on the edge of the county, and it is very far from the place where she went to the first two times, if she goes to the same day, she will not be able to go back, and secondly, she has no money, and she can't even eat, so what to take to see the eldest brother, so it will be delayed.

Now that she has finally earned her first money, she will not mention it in the future, she must take her eldest brother back first, anyway, the job was found for him by the second uncle, and she didn't think it was much better.

A furniture factory in the south of the city

A compound full of sundries, semi-finished products, and timber, and a few broken tile houses, even if it is a factory, there is no sign hanging outside the factory, and no one in the factory knows what the name of the factory is, or maybe there is no name at all.

If there is a small wind blowing in, the cold makes people shiver, if there is a strong wind blowing in, not only shivering, but even the sawdust on the ground, the light waste can be blown up, and the eyes of the people who blow directly can not open. In this way, the workers in the 'factory' are still working diligently, without stopping for a moment, and the sound of moving, lifting, and clanging is endless.

In this messy environment, a young man in the corner of the wall who was seriously planing wood, he lowered his head, and could only see the slightly long bangs blocking half of the white face clip, a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes, only the corners of the eyes were slightly exposed, the thin lips were tightly pursed, the cheeks were crimson, and there was already a thin layer of sweat on his forehead in this winter, a pair of big hands with distinct knots, and thick calluses.

The boy had been digging wood for a long time, then he suddenly stopped, picked up the wood and looked at it, frowned, and then puffed out his cheeks like a child in a tantrum, threw the wood behind him, and then picked up a new piece of wood from the side and planed it up.

This qiē action is like a flowing cloud, obviously not the first time to do it, the people working in the house have long been accustomed to it, and they are constantly working in their hands.

And some people can't get used to it, this person happened to come in from the outside when the boy threw away the wood, he was not tall, but the volume was not small, in this whirring room, it was still very harsh to hear, "Can you kid save a little, half of the wood in our factory will let you give Huo Huo!" ”

When the boy looked up, he saw the man approaching, his big black and white eyes blinked, and he lowered his head and continued to work.

Being so ignored by a child, this person has long been angry, but he doesn't get into the oil and salt, and now it's not the old society, and he doesn't want to beat and scold that, so he has to say something, who made him not the boss, so he took out a small wooden stool from behind him, but this wooden stool looks a little 'fashionable', it is not an ordinary square stool nowadays, but a round shape, but it is completely round, because it has a small wing-like thing sticking out on each side, and the three cylinders below are supported, which looks small, but it looks a bit maverick.

He threw the wooden stool at the other party's feet and said, "Look at what you are doing, the boss asked you to make a sample of the stool, and people said that the style is a little newer, but what kind of thing do you get, the square one is changed to a round one, and you have innovation, but what is the matter with the two wings on you, you are going to start learning!" ”

The boy picked up the stool, looked left and right, and handed it over, "Table!" ”

The man obviously didn't understand the young man's vague words, and blocked his hand, "Why are you handing it over, you are embarrassed to break this idea, take it out and show it, the thing is made of strange appearances, how can we be embarrassed to take people to the manufacturer and look at it!" Sue you, the boss said, deduct your half month's salary! I'm too lazy to bother with you, I'm mad. ”

After the man finished a series of words, he felt refreshed, and shouted at the workers working around him with his hands behind his back, "Tell you, this batch of goods will be delivered at the end of the month, and this year's volume can't be finished, don't eat after work, hum!" After speaking, he walked out of the 'factory' with a shake.

Someone couldn't look at it and muttered in a low voice, "Fox fake tiger might, something!" Bah! ”

Another human, "That is, if I don't care about you, I don't care about fools, you are stupid enough." ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.

At this time, a person said, "You accumulate some virtue on your lips, don't be stupid and stupid, I don't think Xiaogang is stupid at all, he makes decent things, and he is not better than any of you?" ”

The man who spoke just now smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm not used to it!" Silly uh, Xiaogang, I don't mean anything else! ”

Xiao Gang raised his head and laughed as well, revealing his white teeth.

As he spoke, someone sighed, "I've been working day and night every day, my hands and feet are almost frozen, and I don't know when I'll send money?" ”

"Didn't you say that you will be paid for this job?"

"Yes! It's not that the boss has no money now, but he will pay it when he has money. ”

"You also believe this, the boss and the director of the purchasing department of Huilong Furniture Factory, a major customer of our factory, are cousins, and most of the work in our factory is given there, can he have no money? I see him taking all his money out and gambling! ”

"Really? How do you know? ”

As he was talking, the man carrying the wood outside the door threw the wood to the door, and shouted inside, "Xiaogang, someone is looking for it!" ”
