Early morning.

A faint golden light spreads across the land, bringing vitality to this ancient land.

In the brick kiln factory of Shuangshui Village.

Dozens of members gathered in front of the brick kiln, waiting for the kiln to open.

As the bricks blocking the mouth of the brick kiln were removed, buckets of water were poured into the cave.

When the temperature of the cave dropped slightly, Sun Shaoan put on a torn cotton jacket and prepared to enter the cave.

Sun Lanhua was a little worried that the temperature inside was too high, and wanted to stop Sun Shaoan, but was stopped by Li Weidong waving his hand.

"Sun Lanhua, let him go, he's atoning for his sins!"

Sun Lanhua also knew that Sun Shaoan had been feeling guilty about inviting Master Zhang.

In the early hours of this morning, they interrogated Master Zhang.

The old liar originally wanted to hold on for a while, but when he saw those members surrounding him again, he confessed on the spot.

He was originally a bastard who wandered outside, because he often walked the streets and alleys, and often went to various places to help people work, so he knew a little about all walks of life.

Like making furniture, hoopping caves, building walls, etc., every time he will first win the trust of the employer, and then collect a certain deposit, and wait for things to start.

He will leave the mess behind and let the employer bear all the losses.

If Li Weidong hadn't seen through Master Zhang in advance this time, Sun Shaoan would have become a sinner in the brick kiln factory.

After this catastrophe, Shuangshui Village may not have the opportunity to rebuild the cave in the future.

Naturally, his heart was filled with guilt.

If this guilt is not released in time, it is enough to crush the future leader of Shuangshui Village.

A moment later.

Regardless of the heat, Sun Shaoan took out a brick shelf, and on the shelf were freshly burned red bricks.

From the outside, it looks like a regular red brick.

Sun Shaoan frowned and said: "Director Li, this brick is just an ordinary brick, there is no difference, are you mistaken?"

The voice did not fall.

Bang!

The bricks smashed Sun Shaoan's head, and the bricks spilled down from his head like loess.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Sun Shao'an ignored the dust, picked up the brick and smashed it on the ground, and the brick shattered into a ball again.

Only then did he accept this incredible fact, walked up to Li Weidong in a sneer, lowered his head and said, "Director Li, thank you for saving my life." ”

Li Weidong patted him on the shoulder: "As long as people make mistakes, and the fault of this matter is not yours, that guy is too cunning." ”

Sun Shaoan nodded: "Then, what do you want to do with Master Zhang?" ”

"Of course, he will be sent to the county town first, so that the comrades there will investigate the evidence of his previous crimes, and then under the heavy punishment for several crimes, he will probably eat peanuts."

Seeing Sun Shao'an's unbearable look, Li Weidong smiled and said, "What, do you think it's too serious?" ”

"It's not. Although Master Zhang is bad, he is not the kind of person who kills people and sets fires, so there is no need to be so" Sun Shaoan was a little soft-hearted.

Li Weidong said coldly: "Although he didn't kill people and set fires, what he did was far more serious than killing people and setting fires." Those who were deceived by him, similar to you, put almost all their hopes and money on him, but he deceived them, and then walked away, can you imagine what will happen to those who are deceived? ”

Of course Sun Shaoan knew that, just like him, those people had suffered this kind of change and lost all their net worth, and the only thing they could do was.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Shaoan couldn't help but shudder, feeling ashamed of his kindness just now.

To be kind to this kind of jackal is to be hard to be good at people.

Sun Shaoan is not the kind of person who has the kindness of a woman.

It's just that

Sun Shaoan turned his head to look at Li Weidong: "Director Li, what should we do now?" ”

"Of course, it's to find a real brick-burning kiln master."

As Li Weidong spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Sun Shao'an: "This is a master from the Hongxing Brick Kiln Factory in the county next door, I can help you go through the transfer procedures, but you have to convince him first." ”

"Understand, Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely convince him." Sun Shaoan is full of confidence.

He knew that Li Weidong was helping him.

Sun Shaoan returned home and told the Sun family about the matter.

The Sun family all expressed their support.

Sun Yuhou smoked a cigarette and said: "Shao'an, this time you go to the Red Star Brick Factory, you must be more thoughtful, there are many good people in this world, but there are more beasts." You have eyes that recognize beasts and good men. ”

Sun Shaoan nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I am an adult, and I have to shoulder my own responsibilities!" ”

Shao'an's mother had already packed Sun Shao'an's luggage at this time.

In addition to some dry food in the luggage, the most important thing is the road that Li Weidong helped him get.

With the road, you can leave Huangyuan County.

In this way, Sun Shaoan embarked on a journey that belonged to him for the first time.

After Sun Shao'an left, Li Weidong also began to prepare for the opening of the brick kiln factory.

A special meeting was held in the village committee of Shuangshui Village.

Unlike in the past, this time it was Li Weidong who sat at the head, and Tian Futang, the leader of Shuangshui Village, could only sit below.

This is also the first time that Sun Yuhou has participated in the village committee of Shuangshui Village, and he seems a little cramped and uneasy, and constantly looks at Li Weidong.

Li Weidong saw that everyone had arrived, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Just yesterday, the Beijing Rolling Mill has completed the formalities for the brick kiln factory, and the official name of the brick kiln factory is the brick kiln factory built with the aid of the rolling mill. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room behaved differently.

Sun Yuhou, Jin Junshan, and Jin Junwu are all in good spirits, and the brick kiln factory procedures are complete, and Shuangshui Village will live a good life in the future.

Tian Futang's brows furrowed tightly.

The brick kiln factory was like a thorn in Shuangshui Village, and it also stabbed in his heart.

A while ago, he deliberately went to the county seat to ask Tian Fujun to come forward and stop the formalities of the brick kiln factory.

Who would have thought that Tian Fujun, a big man in the county, immediately changed his face after hearing his appeal, and asked him not to fight with Li Weidong anymore.

and also gave him fifty yuan and one hundred catties of national food stamps, so that he could concentrate all his energy on the hoop cave.

Although Tian Fujun often helps Tian Futang, he has never been so generous.

Although Tian Futang was very happy in his heart, he was unwilling to give up Shuangshui Village.

For this leader who has been in office for seven or eight years, he cannot tolerate his own village being taken away.

Even if Shuangshui Village will become better and the villagers will be able to eat enough, it will not work!

As if he hadn't seen Tian Futang's expression, Li Weidong continued: "After my calculation with Comrade Sun Yuhou, the brick kiln factory needs at least eighty young laborers. Of course, the brick kiln factory will not let those members work in vain, in addition to 2 catties of grain per day, each member who participates in the labor will get an additional 2 catties of grain. ”

As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly boiled.

During the construction of the brick kiln factory, only 10 members participated in the work.

Watching those members bring home two catties of grain every day, those members in Shuangshui Village drooled with envy.

At the same time, I kept asking when the brick kiln factory would recruit members again.

Now that opportunity has finally arrived.

It's just that

The members of the Shuangshui Village Committee in the conference room quickly realized a problem.

There are hundreds of people in Shuangshui Village, and there are more than 200 young and strong laborers, and 80 people is really too few.

How to allocate these places will inevitably become the focus of controversy.

At this time, Tian Futang, who had been silent, took the lead in speaking: "Director Li, I think these places should be distributed fairly, and these places should be distributed according to the number of people in each family. ”

"The number of people in each family?" Jin Junshan frowned at that time: "Futang, I'm afraid your decision is a little inappropriate, who doesn't know that your Tian family has the largest number of people in Shuangshui Village." ”

In Shuangshui Village, the Tian family accounts for at least 70 percent, and if it is distributed in this way, most of the places for the members of the brick kiln factory will fall into the hands of the Tian family.

Tian Futang didn't expect that Jin Junshan, who had always been obedient, would be the first to stand up against him.

There was a wry smile in his heart, this person was really a dog, and now when he saw that Li Weidong was in power, he left him behind.

However, Tian Futang is not without a way to deal with it.

He secretly gave Sun Yuting a look.

Since entering the conference room, Sun Yuting has been silent, and he didn't even take the enamel jar on the table, just for fear of being discovered.

After being named by name, Sun Yuting's body trembled slightly, and he said hesitantly: "I think Futang's opinion is correct, after all, it is the fairest to distribute according to the head!" ”

When Sun Yuhou heard this, he sighed silently in his heart.

His younger brother is really a little uncompromising.

Knowing that the number of the Sun family was the smallest among the families in Shuangshui Village, he had to agree with Tian Futang's opinion, which was obviously to appease Tian Futang and give up the interests of the Sun family.

In fact, before the meeting, Sun Yuhou had persuaded Sun Yuting not to mix with Tian Futang all day long.

Sun Yuting promised well at the time, but now he still stands on Tian Futang's side.

Subsequently, the Tian family also responded to Tian Futang's opinions.

The Jin family tried their best to oppose it, and the conference room was lively for a while.

Li Weidong just watched them quietly until they all slowly stopped, and then he stood up until there was silence in the conference room.

He propped his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said in a cold voice: "Please make it clear that the brick kiln factory is not the brick kiln factory in Shuangshui Village, but the brick kiln factory of our rolling mill. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The faces of the Tian family members who were arguing fiercely just now changed suddenly.

And the Jin family suddenly came to their senses.

"Yes, the brick kiln factory is a rolling mill, and it should be recruited by other rolling mills."

"It has nothing to do with the number of people, Tian Futang is just messing around."

"If we annoy the rolling mill, people will be angry and close the brick kiln factory, and we will all be blind."

"When the time comes, Tian Futang will become a sinner in our Shuangshui Village."

In the midst of the discussion, Tian Futang's face darkened little by little, lowered his head, and couldn't say a word.

He felt a little aggrieved.

It's like a burly boxer, who has an indestructible iron fist, but can only fight with the air.

Li Weidong didn't pay attention to him at all, and continued: "Considering the actual situation of the villagers in Shuangshui Village, I don't know, so the task of selecting members to enter the brick kiln factory was handed over to Comrade Sun Yuhou. ”

Sun Yuhou didn't expect Li Weidong to make such a decision, so he quickly stood up and said: "Director Li, I, I'm an old farmer, where do I know those things?"

Li Weidong interrupted him: "You don't understand, but you understand Shuangshui Village and the members." ”

Saying that, Li Weidong turned to face the people below: "I believe that everyone knows Comrade Sun Yuhou's character, do you have any opinions on Sun Yuhou's position?" ”

The members of the village committee knew very well that Li Weidong was just being polite to them, and among all of them, only Sun Yuhou was more suitable.

It is better for this position to be held by him than to be handed over to the people of the Jin family.

The decision was quickly passed, and Sun Yuhou began to select members as soon as he left the venue.

The most important reason why Li Weidong chose Sun Yuhou is that he is an upright person in the original book.

Facts have also proved that Li Weidong was not wrong.

The members selected by Sun Yuhou are all from particularly poor families and have little to do with their surnames.

It's just that at present, in Shuangshui Village, the Tian family has a rich field and generally lives better than the Jin family and the Sun family, so there are more Jin and Sun families who have entered the brick kiln factory.

This also caused dissatisfaction among the Tian family.

In the new cave of Tianfutang.

Several core figures of the Tian family gathered, all smoking cigarette bags and pots, and drooping their heads.

In the end, Tian Haimin, who had a fiery personality, frowned and said: "Futang, it's not okay to go on like this, now more than forty of the eighty places have been divided, and only five places have been allocated to our Tian family." There are already many people in our production team who are dissatisfied. ”

Tian Haimin's words were like a lead, igniting the cave.

"Yes, there are many Tian family members who have already expressed their dissatisfaction with us."

"If this continues, no one will listen to us anymore."

"Yes, a few Tian family members have quietly hooked up with the Jin family and the Sun family."

During the discussion, Tian Futang's brows furrowed tightly.

He knew that the most important reason why he was able to lead the Tian family was that he could bring benefits to the Tian family.

Once he loses that, he's no different from a bad old man.

Tian Haimin said anxiously: "Why don't we get in touch with Sun Yuhou again and find a way to take him down, so that we can get the quota?" ”

This idea was quickly approved by the Tian family.

"Yes, Sun Yuhou is an honest guy, let's find a way to set up a trap for him."

"As long as we catch his handle, we will ask him for twenty places, no, thirty places."

"We can still sell these places."

"Smack!"

Just as the discussion was getting stronger, Tian Futang slapped it heavily on the table and said loudly: "A bunch of fools, haven't you seen it yet, Sun Yuhou is a puppet, and the real person in charge is Li Weidong." If we want to change this dilemma, the best way is to take Li Weidong. ”

Hearing that they were going to deal with Li Weidong, the Tian family members who were still chattering about ideas just now suddenly fell silent.
