The eggs were loaded into the car, Xia Zhi instructed the driver, and then instructed Gu Zhaolin.

"Xiao Gu, I won't follow you to the county to deliver eggs, anyway, you sent them last time, you sent the eggs directly, count them, and sign them.

Then the tractor came back to pick me up, and I was here trying to pull a few slates back. ”

I stuffed a box of cigarettes into the driver's hand, although it was not a big front door, but the driver was still happy.

Of course, this kind of thing is well known, how can anyone not use public things to do private affairs.

Gu Zhaolin's eyes lit up when he heard the quarry.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll be back soon."

Watching the tractor leave, Xia Zhi said to Sister Xia,

"Eldest sister, take me to the quarry to have a look, I'll see how the slate is, I'll wait for them on it."

"Okay, Xiao Xia, I'll send you up, but I have a job in a while, and when the time comes, I'll talk to the director of the factory who stepped on the market to ensure that it is done properly for you." Do more with less. ”

whispered to Xia Solstice, this is also to settle a favor here on the summer solstice.

The two of them walked up the hill with a smile and a smile on their way, from here to the quarry on the mountain in the distance.

I didn't expect that the road was not close, and it took me more than half an hour to walk to the bottom of the mountain.

The quarry is at the foot of the mountain, and their stones are brought down from the mountain, processed at the bottom of the mountain, and then pulled from here.

The quarry is very rudimentary, and there is not even a courtyard wall around it, just a row of dilapidated houses built at the foot of the mountain.

It looked like the house was supposed to be a dormitory for the workers.

At the foot of the mountain, there are various stones and stones placed on the large flat ground.

Xia Zhi looked at the shirtless workers in the quarry who were working hard, but did not see Gu Zixi's figure.

Sister Xia led her to the director of the quarry, who was a man in his 40s and also surnamed Xia.

I heard that Xia Zhi came to get the slate, and it immediately bloomed, after all, this is a private job.

Privately, this money will definitely not enter the account of the factory, although it can be cheaper, but it is basically in their own pockets.

That is, it is a favor, and there is also income.

After Sister Xia finished explaining, she went back to the chicken farm directly, so that Xia Zhi would have time to find herself for a while.

Xia Zhi looked at the dozen or so bluestone slabs, not to mention that the slate craftsmanship here is very good.

Theoretically, she didn't need to pave the road, but she had to live in the chicken farm for many years, so she was going to clean up the dormitory road on the chicken farm.

Of course, more importantly, she wanted to find this excuse, otherwise how could she come to the quarry?

Director Xia was very busy, and after explaining, he let Xia Zhi walk around here by himself.

Xia Zhi didn't see Gu Zixi pulling a worker next to him and asked.

"Comrade, I want to ask if Gu Zixi is in the quarry?"

Xiao Young should only be eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is a little shy when he sees the summer solstice and doesn't know where to put his hand.

Said a little shyly.

"Brother Gu is sick, and he has been lying in the dormitory for several days."

"What's sick?"

"Can you take me to see him?"

"Yes, our dormitory is right in front and it's easy to find, but do you know Brother Gu? Who are you? ”

The boy looked at Xia Solstice with curiosity, after all, Xia Solstice was so beautiful, and this dress looked different from the people in their village, like a cadre.

None of the cadres in their village could wear such a proper dress.

Xia Zhi's clothes didn't even have patches, of course, it was very eye-catching, especially the four pockets.

In those days, only cadres wore clothes with four pockets, which is almost universally recognized.

"Gu Zixi is my brother."

Xiao Young was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

I really don't know what the situation is at Gu Zixi's family, but I didn't expect him to have a sister who is a cadre.

Why don't you say that there is a sister who is a cadre?

The production captain must know that he has a sister who is a cadre, and he will definitely not dare to send him to the quarry.

Delivered to the door of the dormitory, the young man pointed to the door,

"He's living in this dormitory, go ahead!"

Xia Zhi hurriedly took out a hard-boiled egg from his shoulder bag and stuffed it into Xiao Young's hand,

"Comrade, thank you, this is a little heart, you take it."

Xiao Young was taken aback, no one is willing to eat eggs these days, and these eggs are all saved to sell for money.

There are eggs in a large number of chicken farms, but they are supplied by the state, and they have nothing to do with the people in their village.

I want to excuse myself, but I'm a little reluctant, this is an egg, and an egg costs 5 cents this year.

Xia Zhi didn't allow him to refuse, he had already turned around and knocked on the door, Xiao Young thought about it, and ran quickly with an egg, he owed someone a favor.

No one responded, and Xia Solstice knocked on the door again, still quietly.

Xia Zhi listened attentively, and it was definitely impossible for that little comrade to talk nonsense to himself.

She pushed the door with her hand, but she didn't expect the door to be plugged in, and opened it with a squeak.

The houses are rudimentary, but the houses here are made of stone.

Compared with thatched houses and mud houses, this kind of house is sturdy and rarely leaks rain or water.

The room is also relatively large.

As soon as you enter, you can see a whole row of shops in the house.

At first glance, it is a bit spectacular, and it can sleep a dozen or twenty people at once.

There was uncleaned bedding on the bed, and there was a foul smell in the room, a smell of feet, sweat, and all sorts of smells.

In the midst of the chaos, she saw the position leaning against the foot of the bed.

A quilt is placed there, and in all seriousness, a person sleeps there with a quilt rolled.

If it weren't for Xia Zhi's good eyes, it would be really difficult to find someone in this pile of dirty quilts.

Xia Zhi walked over and looked carefully, and sure enough, it was Gu Zixi, Gu Zixi had his back to him, facing the wall.

The quilt wrapped around his body slept there.

Xia Solstice walked up to him and called softly.

"Gu Zixi, Gu Zixi!"

Just now in front of Xiao Young, she easily said that I was his sister, probably because she was more tactful a lot of times, and she didn't blink her eyes when she lied.

But now she has no way to call out that big brother to Gu Zixi.

But she shouted twice Gu Zixi but didn't respond, Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, nothing will happen!

Hearing that he was sick, he hurriedly walked over and pushed Gu Zixi with his hand.

"Gu Zixi, Gu Zixi!"

As a result, with a push with his hand, he realized that Gu Zixi's body was hot.

With his movements, Gu Zixi fell down directly.

At the moment when his back hit the bed, Gu Zixi let out a painful moan.

Like a conditioned reflex, Gu Zixi quickly turned over, lay on the pillow, and opened his eyes at the same time to see the summer solstice standing in front of him.
