Chapter 206: Going Out
Zhixi County is not big, it is not small, there are a total of eighteen towns, Yangshan Town is one of them, and the closest one to Yangshan Town is Cangtong Town. Zhixi County is located in the north, and compared with the land of fish and rice in the south, the conditions here are not very good!
But there is an advantage that the scenery here is beautiful, surrounded by mountains, small bridges and flowing water, which is very suitable for the rich to retire, so it is also famous for its beautiful scenery!
But compared with the dignitaries, the people here have been living in dire straits, and the crops are still very small in the last two seasons of the year, just enough to make ends meet, unlike Jiangnan, where the people are rich and merchants are everywhere!
Cangtong Town and Yangshan Town are almost the same, they are not rich, of course, this time the brick kiln factory is from the surrounding area of Yangshan Town, and the first target is set in Cangtong Town!
During dinner, because Situ Rui and Dongfang were there, everyone was embarrassed to chat while eating, after all, big families pay attention to rules, so the things to be discussed are put after the meal!
"Grandpa Li, let's take a look today, our brick kiln is almost mature now, and I have also arranged manpower, just wait for the master to go over to guide and start building, you see, who is appropriate?" Of course, this matter will be arranged by Li Qingshan, and Situ Rui and Dongfang Ye are in charge of workers and investment!
"Where to go first? Far from it? "Li Qingshan has never been out of Yangshan Town in his life, he worked in the town when he was young, and stayed in Lijia Village all his life, to be honest, he is still a little timid about unfamiliar places!
"Grandpa Li, don't worry. Let's start with the place of gold, let's start with Cangtong Town! A town is also not very big, for the sake of transportation. Let's build a brick kiln yard in one town, of course, if it's a smaller town, just build two and one for you! "This is not only for everyone's convenience, but also to save costs, otherwise there are too many and the market demand is not so big!
"Good. That's good, boss, who will you see? "When Li Qingshan heard that it was Cangtong Town, he was not far away. I was relieved, otherwise I would have been out for so long at once, and I would be a little worried, and then ask for the opinions of a few sons!
"Daddy. I'll go! "As the eldest son. Li Anfu said in a rough voice, he was a little worried about his younger brothers!
"Er, what do you think?"
"Dad, why don't you let the eldest brother go this time, I haven't done such a big thing alone, I'll learn slowly in the future!" Li Anlu and Li Anshou have relatively no sense of existence in the Li family, compared to Li Anfu's honesty and generosity, as well as Li Anxi's naughty jumping. There is nothing special about the two of them!
"Dad, I'll go too!" Li Anxi was reluctant to miss such a good opportunity. Although it is only a neighboring town, it is also a good opportunity to exercise, although I have also been to the county seat, but I have not stayed for a long time, and it feels different!
"Situ Gongzi, do you think this will work?" Of course, Li Qingshan has to look at the opinions of the two of them!
"Grandpa Li, listen to you, Uncle Li and hehe, it's better for both of you to go, the more people you have, the better!" Situ Rui wanted to call Li Anxi, but suddenly felt that he didn't know what to call, so he called Li Qingshan grandpa, of course, Li Anfu is an uncle, but Li Anxi is the youngest in the Li family, about the same age as himself, so he will definitely not be able to call him uncle!
"Hehe, Situ Gongzi, you can just call me Anxi, we are about the same age!" Of course, Li Anxi knew what he was struggling with, and he didn't care about it!
"Okay, then you can also call my name Situ Rui directly! I don't need to be called a son-in-law all day long, it's too out-of-the-box, so are my uncles and aunts, and I have a few younger brothers and sisters! "He is already very familiar with the Li family, Situ Rui feels that the Li family calls him very differently, and he feels close without a name!
I haven't had a chance to say it, and it's not those people outside who are on the pole to slap themselves up! I just bring it up, and the name seems close!
"Okay, Anfu, just call your names in the future!" Li Qingshan heard that Situ Rui was sincere, and his family didn't have to see each other like this, anyway, everyone regarded them as a family!
Just decided on the question of the future name so happily, for the specific details, Situ Rui still has to tell the Li family, although the matter has already been arranged!
Before coming to the Li family, he had already sent his capable subordinates to look for a place in Cangtong Town, and at the same time, he was also looking for someone to work. Situ Rui couldn't help but want to hurry!
The Li family's big house
Since it has been decided that he will leave tomorrow, and this will be ten days and half a month, even if he is reluctant to give up, Hu still packs the man's luggage and clothes!
Loaded in one by one, I felt that it was not enough, there were two sets of single clothes, thinking about the men working, they don't like to be clean, and they can't wash themselves, Hu couldn't help but pack up two more sets, as well as shoes and socks, all of which were also loaded with new ones!
"Okay, it's not that I won't come back, half a month at most, and it's not far away that I really want to come back, and I can come back in the middle, and I don't have to pack so many things!" Li Anfu looked at the bulging package, and then looked at Hu Shi and took another one, ready to pack some food, and couldn't help but remind!
How can you use so much, you can't use it, you won't eat and drink less, there is no need to look like you want to put on all the good things at home!
"Am I not afraid that you will have no appetite outside, and you will not like clothes? I'll fill you with more, and when the time comes, if you don't want to wash it, take it back, and I'll wash it for you! Hu Shi was still not at ease, regardless of Li Anfu's obstruction, he cleaned up little by little!
To be honest, it was not a time when I didn't go out to work before, ten days and half a month were normal, and I was not so reluctant as this time, probably because of the previous family conditions, it was a last resort, this year, the men of the Li family have not gone out again, they have been at home, and the women don't have to be afraid at home!
I'm afraid that something will happen outside, and after a long time of comfortable life, I am about to forget the hardships of that time!
A noise interrupted Hu's thoughts, and he saw Li Yurong rushing in, throwing himself directly into Li Anfu's arms, rubbing his father's chest, and said coquettishly: "Dad." I don't want you to go, I miss you! ”
After the New Year, Li Yurong was six years old, and he already knew that this time his father was going out for many days. He was very reluctant to rely on him, he didn't go to bed early after meals as usual, and he just couldn't get down in Li Anfu's arms!
"Rong'er, Dad will be back soon, come back and bring you something delicious!" Li Anfu enjoys his son's dependence very much, and the children above him are all older, and he rarely lies in his arms like his younger son. Let yourself enjoy this indescribable satisfaction!
"Dad, isn't it far where you've been?" Li Yurong sat on Li Anfu's arm and looked at Li Anfu at eye level. looked at Li Anfu and asked!
"It's not far, a little farther than the town, don't worry, Daddy will be back soon!"
"Rong'er. Hurry down. Your dad is tired of holding you! ”
Hu Shi watched from the side, and couldn't help but scold, although he was only six years old, but in the past year, the family has been eating deliciously, and his daughter Li Hui has to make some rare things from time to time, Li Yurong is now eating white and fat, and the amount is not light. Usually I can't hold it by myself. This will see that Li Yurong can't come down, and he feels a little sorry for Li Anfu!
"It's okay, it's okay. you, I'm happy to hold it! Li Anfu smiled innocently, knowing that his daughter-in-law felt sorry for herself, but she was happy to be tired when she was holding her son!
Compared with Li Yurong's coquettishness, Li Yujin is a few years older, and he is a lot more stable when he goes to school, so he came to his father's house, said goodbye to Li Anfu, and told Li Anfu to pay attention to safety!
"Dad knows, don't worry, you two just study hard, Dad is only responsible for teaching, and you won't be too tired!" Li Anfu looked at the two eldest sons who were becoming more and more calm, and the pride in his heart burst out, looking at the village, he would never find someone better than his own children!
"We will, don't worry, Dad!" Li Yujin and Li Yuqian promised in unison that they had experienced a poor life, and they cherished the hard-won learning opportunities even more! So avoid others and work harder!
Li Yujin is calm and loves to learn, Li Yuqian is less down-to-earth than Li Yujin, but Li Yuqian is smart, and many times his views will make the master agree with him, and then praise him fiercely, and sometimes he will keep saying that Li Yuqian's words make him suddenly brighter!
Now in the school, the Li brothers are no longer the wild boys with a rustic atmosphere when they first went last year, they used to secretly joke that they were classmates with mud legs, and now they have to admire, in less than a year, they have caught up with many people! It's like a top-notch student in the school!
"Take care of your younger siblings when you come back from the academy and help more!"
"You also have to take care of your body, don't study too hard, and don't stay up late at night!" Li Anfu was unusually careful at this time, explaining little by little, especially for this year's county exam, Li Yujin had to study until late at night every night, and Li Anfu told them not to delay their bodies for studying!
"I know, Dad, don't worry!" Li Yujin said!
The father and son talked for a while, and it was not too early, Li Yujin and Li Yuqian got up and left, unwilling to delay Li Anfu's rest!
Li Hui helped Hu Shi pack up his things, and after a while, he also got up and left! Only Li Yurong didn't leave, he had already slept by himself, and he had to sleep with his father and mother today, and resolutely did not go back to his room!
"If you don't go back, you won't go back, let's go, go and sleep with Dad!" Li Anfu hugged Li Yurong, ignoring Hu's angry shouting on the side, the two of them made a mess and got into the bed!
"You're such an adult, and you're still messing around with the children, really!" I usually complain and check my things again until I confirm that there is nothing wrong with me before going to bed!
I haven't slept with my father and mother for a long time, lying between Li Anfu and Hu, Li Yurong quickly forgot the distress of his father going out tomorrow, and gradually snoring!
It's impossible to say that it's not reluctant at all, the child sleeps peacefully, Li Anfu and Hu can't sleep for a long time, and when Li Yurong falls asleep, he moves his position, and the husband and wife whisper until late at night!
Unlike Li Anfu's reluctance, Li Anxi is alone, he doesn't know what it's like to leave home, he happily goes to bed early to recuperate, and the things are cleaned up by the Niu family, no daughter-in-law, of course, it's a mother's worry!
Early the next morning, the Li family had breakfast, and the two men went out, inevitably worrying about their stomachs, and the family got up early to see each other off.
This is the first demonstration brick kiln field, Situ Rui himself stared at it to rest assured, of course, Dongfang Ye is also together, compared to in the capital, Dongfang Ye's words have obviously become more, and Li Anfu Li Anxi can talk about it, and the atmosphere along the way is not embarrassing!
The horse-drawn carriage is much faster than the ox-cart, about fifty miles away, and in less than two hours, it will reach its destination!
The purpose is a place similar to Lijia Village, a big wasteland, which Situ Rui specially ordered Cangtong Town's own shopkeeper to find, don't look at the desolate place, but there is an advantage, that is, it is not far from the surrounding villages, and it is very convenient for business to come and go in the future!
"Young master, you are here, this is a good place to find according to your instructions, and the people have also been found, they are all reliable people from the surrounding villages, I don't know when you will arrive, so let them wait at home, just wait for the notice!" A shopkeeper-like person waited respectfully and reported the progress of the matter to Situ Rui!
"Okay, you can let people know, and the construction will start in the afternoon!" It's still early, it's not noon, besides, it's not far, there is no hard work of boating and driving, and a few people on the road have already discussed, it can be a little faster, after all, there are still many things in the future!
"Yes, young master, I'm going to prepare, I've prepared wine and food for you, in our restaurant, young master, you and this son and these people go over directly, and your subordinates will arrange it!" The shopkeeper ordered the people below to go over, and he personally led Situ Rui into the town!
It turned out that this was the shopkeeper of Juweiju in Cangtong Town, Situ Rui directly handed over this matter to him, in order to leave a good impression on the Shaodong family, this shopkeeper was very dedicated! This vast wasteland is a short walk from the town, by a river that runs through the nearby villages!
Another advantage is that it is not only convenient to take water, but also convenient to transport, Situ Rui is very satisfied!
The carriage arrived in the town after a quarter of an hour, and after the prepared meal, a few people rested in the restaurant for a while before setting off for the outside of town!
They are all simple men from the farm, for this rare but high-paying work, everyone is still looking forward to it, in the morning as soon as I heard about it in the afternoon, one by one I had lunch and rushed over!
There are more than 20 men in a row, and they are not familiar to themselves, Li Anfu is a little knotted when he speaks, and he doesn't know how to talk to everyone, unlike in the village, they all play from childhood to adulthood, and they are not nervous at all!
Or Li Anxi is more bold, not timid at all, and stands directly in front to give a lecture to everyone! Then the construction begins! However, Li Anfu is simple, and he is familiar with the honest peasant men in one afternoon, they are all the same people, and they work harder! (To be continued.) )
