Section 18 Changes in the Old Barracks

The old military camp is changing, every day, at least in Yang Ping'an's eyes.

The boss Yue came, and when he came, he said that he would be the boss and he would take care of everyone. I don't know if I can believe this, anyway, people say it, from tomorrow everyone will listen to him, and he can bring everyone out like a person. Whether others believe it or not, he Yang Ping'an doesn't believe it, he has heard a lot of good words in his life, saying that it is useless, and it is true to make it.

Yue Xiaofei lay on the bed and had insomnia, although the five hundred taels of silver had been bought back in the morning, and there was still more than enough for these dozens of people to eat for two months, but what should the rest of the things do? "The sorrowful and smelly made him unable to sleep at all.

Step out of the tent that was used as a temporary residence. Some of the well-fed people went back to their homes, while a few watched in front of the new boss's tent to see what the man in the fancy dress was all about.

There is also a group of children, they don't know any sorrow, they only know that they are full today, or they are full of white rice, and this is enough. The well-fed children are very lively, and they all play in the center of the village with a nice shade.

It's almost impossible to tell the difference between men and women, and the children here are all about the same. One by one, bare-chested, wearing only a pair of shorts underneath, they jumped around the land barefoot. The older children were much more divided, and the girls were already wearing a blouse and trousers, although they were patched, but they were finally there. The boys are simple, a small shoulder and a pair of shorts are gone.

"I will build this place well, I will feed the people here, I will let these children go to school, I will ......" Looking at the children running and jumping in the courtyard, Yue Xiaofei secretly made up his mind in his heart, this is the most simple feeling of every worker.

Yang Ping'an ate his fill but did not go back to sleep, but squatted under a tree on the edge of the field to rest in the shade. It wasn't that he wasn't sleepy, but he wanted to figure out what the hell the man in the floral clothes was trying to do.

Yue Xiaofei walked over to him.

Although Yang Ping'an, the "son-in-law", heard An Zai say that their son-in-law should not be kneeled, but this ceremony still has to be done, and the so-called etiquette is not strange for many people.

"No, no, Uncle Yang, I want to ask if these old barracks in our old military camp have a craft?"

"Don't dare to ask, there is only one blacksmith in our old gentleman's camp, surnamed Zhao, everyone calls him Zhao Da Hammer, he has a good craft, our old military camp belongs to his family and can have a meal. The rest of the family didn't have any skills other than helping people with short-term jobs. ”

Yue Xiaofei asked about the door of the Zhao family, and looked for it alone. Zhao's house is not far away, and there are a few tents next to it. It was a small tent, it looked dark, and the fire in the furnace was blazing with blue flames, and the hammer made a soft and crisp clanging sound on the anvil. Two people were busy in front of the stove. It was the master who could see that he was old, and he was holding a small hammer to knock on some iron tool that was about to form, and directing the place where the sledgehammer in the apprentice's hand should fall. Yue Xiaofei knew that people already knew that he was coming, but he didn't want to deal with him when he was doing the work at hand. At this time, he also carefully looked at the blacksmith master in front of him.

The master is about forty years old. The apprentice is about fifteen or sixteen, and the two of them look very similar, about they are father and son, Yue Xiaofei guessed in his heart.

The rhythmic "jingle" of the sledgehammer sounded. After only a while, the fifteen or sixteen apprentices couldn't bear it, and their hands and feet were much slower, and they were about to be unable to keep up with the master's small hammer.

"Bang dang", the master scolded him, I don't know what the dialect is, Yue Xiaofei can't hear what he is scolding. The apprentice was so frightened that he just ducked to the side, thinking that he was going to be beaten when he came down.

"I'll come" He blocked the master who was going to beat the apprentice, regardless of the apprentice's obstruction, snatched the torn cowhide apron on his body, picked up the sledgehammer and pulled up the shelf, and looked at the master, waiting for him to greet him.

The master looked at this boy who had taken care of them in disbelief, until Yue Xiaofei's head tilted and signaled him to start. He came back to his senses, his lips lifted, but he didn't speak. After a pause, the small hammer in his hand began to strike again, and the speed became faster and faster, but this was difficult for Yue Xiaofei, and he was not a layman when playing with a sledgehammer.

In the days to come, this Zhao Dazhui can be regarded as following Yue Xiaofei, and when people ask him why, he doesn't have to think about it and replied in the same way: "We don't look at anything else, just look at that person's heart, and people's heart ......." At this point, he only stretched out a big finger and shook it, and then said, "Besides, who in this world has that micrometer and vernier card, just that one!" ”

The Chinese are the best to manage, as long as you give him a mouthful of food, as long as someone takes the lead (as long as you don't have to take the lead) even if you follow to die. The people in this old military camp are the best example, once Yang Ping'an and Zhao Dazhui decided to follow Yue Xiaofei into the world, needless to say, the rest of the old military camp began to be loyal to Yue Xiaofei one by one.

The first goal of the first day was the stinky ditch around the old barracks, the frame nailed by broken wooden planks was full of stones, and the gutter that had been blistered all the year round had long since become a swamp that ate people and did not spit out bones, but the project was so huge that even if all the people available to the old barracks were added, it would not be enough.

Xu Heita had never seen how the people in the old barracks lived, and now he followed the chief to open his eyes, he never thought that there were people in this world who lived like this. Therefore, he worked very hard, and Chief Yue said that my efforts today can make these people live a better life, thinking of this bending over and pushing a cart full of stones, he straightened up and wiped his face, and looked up at this day.

In the July sky, there was not a trace of puffy clouds, and the people on the edge of the ditch in the distance were obviously a little troubled because they had no stones to put into the wooden frame, "this ghost weather".

"Uncle drink saliva" An immature voice came from under his feet, and Xu Heita looked down.

This little girl was about five or six years old, and she struggled to hold a bowl of water in her hand, and her little face was covered with sweat, which washed the dirt on her face into twisted black stains, and for some reason her head was so large that her thin body made people worry about whether it could support her head. Standing in front of Xu Heita and still holding the bowl of water, plus her arms had not yet reached Xu Heita's waist, the little girl was a little anxious, desperately tiptoeing, and her little face was red because of the exertion.

Somehow, Xu Heita looked at the irritability in her heart for no reason. But the little girl's kindness still had to be received, so he had to squat down, and in this way he was still a lot taller than the little girl.

"Uncle, drink saliva, voila! You're all sweating. The little girl stretched out her hand to wipe Xu Heta's sweat.

Xu Heita couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and took the water bowl but was speechless for a while. He didn't know why this little girl would be so nice to him. Others have always been afraid of him, since he was a child, no one would treat him so well, such a swarthy man, he only felt panicked in his chest.

"Uncle, this stinky ditch is about to be filled?"

Xu Heita nodded.

"yes, it doesn't stink when it's filled, and no one will ever slide down again. My dad ...... My dad is ......."

"Good behave, don't cry...... Don't cry ....... Xu Heita persuaded him, but he was about to cry.

The little girl thought it was sad to cry, and the more Xu Heita persuaded the little girl, the more she cried, and he was completely out of luck.

Yue Xiaofei didn't come because of the stone, thinking that Xu Heita was lazy, and brought An Zai to urge, but who knew that he saw this scene. Listening to the little girl's cry, he remembered the "Dragon Whisker Ditch" written by Mr. Lao She who had read it, and he seemed to have figured out something. Before he came, he was often dissatisfied with some things, maybe the government couldn't see it, maybe our society had such and such problems, but who could see this seemingly inadvertent government's efforts, and who remembered. Sometimes people should look at themselves, "What have I done for society!" I don't need to blame, I don't need to complain, all we need is to do it. ”

"Sir" Xu Heita watched An Tsai coax the little girl away, and he looked at the short man in front of him with a new eye.

Yue Xiaofei smiled heartily, he knew Xu Heita's feelings when he was grateful to others, maybe his previous actions were because no one affirmed him, don't we all need others to affirm him, that's enough, isn't it!

*111111111*111111111*11111111*11111111*

Zheng Laogen is the carpenter who makes a fan for Yue Xiaofei, although Xu Heita's big eyes make him uncomfortable, but he still admires the methods of a good son-in-law from the bottom of his heart, one is what happened to Xu Heita, and the other is the mechanism of that fan.

Xu Heita walked into the carpenter's shop, he smiled according to Yue Xiaofei's words, "To laugh, to laugh very kindly", he laughed a little more ugly than crying in his heart, but Zheng Laogen could still see that he was laughing.

"Uncle Xu, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?"

"Boss Zheng, my father-in-law is invited, saying that there is something important to discuss, but he is really busy and can't come, so he has to come to invite him."

"This ...... This, Uncle Xu, I have a small shop here, this ....... ”

Xu Heita smiled again.

"If you laugh, what kind of teeth are you?" Zheng Laogen said in his heart, but he said, "I'll go, I'll go, can't I go." ”

Yue Xiaofei's house surprised him, in fact, it was very simple, just sitting on a wooden frame one or two feet above the ground. To his astonishment, he was sure that the house had not been available ten days ago, and that time he had come to pick two men from among the beggars, and how expensive it was for the people of the city to use.

He was even more surprised by the facilities in the room, and there was something in the courtyard, and a crack in the heavy wooden plank, and a disc with some teeth on it, and he did not know what it was.

"Master Zheng, it's great that you can come, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Yue Xiaofei, who had been busy next to this equipment, greeted him with a smile.

"I don't know what my son-in-law has to do when he invites the little old man."

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, Master Zheng will take a look at my carpentry equipment first."

Zheng Laogen didn't know what this "device" was, but he didn't say it, "If people let us take a look, let's take a look first, and we won't suffer anyway." ”

Xu Heita pulled a roller behind the device, shook it fiercely, and the equipment rotated, and the disc on the tablet turned faster and faster.

Zheng Laogen couldn't believe what he saw, Yue Xiaofei took a wooden board and passed it over the disc, and with a harsh sound, the wooden board was divided into two halves, which was even more than what he sawed out himself, not to mention his apprentices (I believe you have seen chainsaws for carpentry).

"This ......" Zheng Laogen didn't know what to say.

"Master Zheng, I'm looking for you, it's like this......"
