"Go to the factory and have dinner there in the afternoon."

After Liu Bowen finished breakfast, he took the eldest of the family out, and the second son needed to continue to study and learn the books given by Xiaqiu Village.

Liu Lian was wearing a military coat with cotton inside.

Liu Bowen wears a duck down long coat, and the bread cubes are not visible on the outside, and adding an extra layer inside solves the problem of unsightly appearance.

This duck down jacket is provided by Xiaqiu Village, where there are many ducks and more coating technology, as if you refer to the hot air balloon.

A pair of high-waisted boots made of bamboo rat skin on his feet, fingered deerskin gloves on his hands, and a dogskin hat on his head, but the design is very good.

Especially the top, protruding a piece, everyone loses hair and long, and needs to tie it up, in order to be able to wear a hat, the hat has to be made inside first The bulging place.

Liu Bowen is fully equipped, and his eldest son wears pigskin hard leather shoes, a rope around his neck, two hands underneath, no hat, and ear muffs.

Liu Lian took off his thumb gloves, put his hands into his sleeves, and bent down slightly......

Of course, Liu Lian didn't do that, even a military coat is a good thing, ordinary people can't wear it, and there are too many materials.

The reason why he was not given cotton shoes was because they would melt after the snow and the cotton shoes would quickly get soaked.

The two of them went out and went to the nearest convenient place to have a look.

The outside of the convenience office was cleaned up, but there were no people waiting for work.

Instead, there are stalls selling fried chestnuts, wontons, and fried buns with sugar, and these stall holders guard the stalls and stomp their feet, chatting with the people next to them with their hands in their pockets or in their sleeves.

"There are few people working in the cold?" Liu Bowen raised his arm to look at his watch.

"Dad, it's cold outside, they go into the house and wait, there is a lot of work, there is no frozen soil in Tianfu in winter, and a large number of people who work hard run to help build the house.

Originally, the craftsmen were asked to build their own houses, and after building the factories, they first had a place to stay.

As a result, the craftsmen built the factory first, and the family arranged it everywhere, especially in the second migrant worker settlement, and some children were simply thrown into the library.

In order to let them have a house to live in, the palace arranged for people to find other people with poor skills to help build the house, and the craftsmen took out the manpower to command.

In addition, the Yangtze River does not freeze in winter, there are steam engine steamers to help transport, and merchants often hire ships to carry goods, so that the price of Ying Tianfu's wages has never been reduced.

Many women entered the factory to work, and the income of the people's families gradually increased, as can be seen from the daily trading of a street and a snack street in Xiaqiu Village.

I think that as long as the greenhouse vegetables in this year's greenhouse are not too expensive, they will sell very well, and the people are willing to buy them. ”

Liu Lian explained all aspects of the content with his father, and he followed him all the way to Helin and learned a lot.

Liu Bowen smiled: "Let's walk slowly first, let's hire a car after crossing the bridge, there is still a way to go from the factory." ”

The father and son left the convenience area and headed south, which belonged to the library, a large area, and bought all the places behind the street in front of them.

To the west of the Kaiping Palace, to the south of Xiaqiu Village a street, from the top of a circle back, you have to walk for half an hour.

When they came to the main entrance of the library, next to the Xuanjin Bridge, Liu Bowen looked up at the big characters in the library: "Where is this?" ”

"Where the people's hearts gather, there is a library, there is the people's heart, and all the money put in will be rewarded."

Liu Lian replied that he knew that his father would not ask what to read, and that Xiaqiu Village had invested a lot of money in the library, which could manage thousands of children at a time.

The child's parents are at ease, and the child will eventually grow up.

"You're waiting here." Liu Bowen bowed his head slightly, turned around and crossed the Xuanjin Bridge into Xihua Gate, the guards knew him, did not block him, he had no real power but had a title, a lot of it! The highest sincerity Bo.

Liu Bowen went in, and came out again after a while: "Sure enough, it's two minutes slower, let's go!" ”

Liu Lian: "......"

Father goes in to the table? If you don't fight in the army, how much impact does two minutes have? Five minutes at most by tomorrow.

The two continued to travel south, crossed the Tongji Bridge, and Liu Lian looked at the people and cars waiting here to provide cars.

"Liu Gongzi uses a car?" Someone was clever and knew Liu Lian, so he came over and asked.

"How much does it cost to go to the factory site?" Liu Lian asked the price after the place.

"It just so happens that I also go to the construction site, I don't need money, just a ride." The other party said as if I wasn't lying.

"Let's go! Daddy, the child helps you. Liu Lian paused slightly, agreed, and turned to help his father.

"Sincerity? Wait a minute, we have a new mat. The driver pulled out a mat made of rags from another bag, and he didn't know what was stuffed inside.

Liu Bowen nodded: "Thank you!" ”

He got into the carriage, Liu Lian supported him, and the carriage also carried people.

As the coachman threw off the whip empty, the horse trotted up, the temperature at this time was comfortable for the horse, and the summer was the saddest, and it was not easy to dissipate the heat.

"Take the momentum, are you doing well these days?" Liu Bowen felt the slight bump of the car and chatted with the driver.

"Replying to Uncle Cheng's words, it's good! I just finished a trip and was resting, if you pull goods, I really don't want to let the horse run again.

The last trip to the place where the migrant workers in the palace repaired delivered rice, and when I came back, I pulled 20 people, but my horse was tired!

Ah! Sincerity, we should go the other way! This side is west of the Qinhuai River, and the place of the factory is east of the Qinhuai River. ”

The coachman replied, and suddenly realized that the road was not right, and he needed to cross the bridge again in a moment.

His car is parked here to wait for people to go to the migrant settlement, and there are too many people coming and going every day.

"Don't be afraid, look at the road here, there are a lot of things transported over there, and the road is well repaired, I don't know how this is?"

Liu Bowen moved to the other side of the car and sat down, Liu Lian hurriedly ran behind his father and quietly grabbed his father's clothes.

"Okay! If it weren't for the bad wheel, there wouldn't be such a small bump, and the wheel was not round, so go back and fix it. ”

The driver said that the road was good, and complained that his car was not working.

Liu Bowen bent down and looked back at the wheel, and Liu Lian's hand grasped it tighter.

"It's still a wooden shaft! The car is heavy, the horse is tired of running, the weather is cold and oily and easy to coagulate, and the outside is peeling. ”

"Yes! My father used it at that time, and when it came to me, he repaired it again and again, but the horses were replaced by one horse after another.

It's good next year, save enough money, let's change a set of wheels, like the Xiaqiu Village factory.

Let's calculate the account, the reels are good, the horses save effort, we can run more, and the money spent on buying the reels will come back. ”

When the coachman talked about the coming year, he seemed very happy, hopeful, and planned.

"Okay, it's good to change the wheel, and the car is also repaired, so it's better to build a new one." Liu Lian proposed.

"The set of wheels and sets of horses cannot be replaced, they are all grinded, and the horses are comfortable to wear, and they have to be re-sharpened if they are replaced with new ones." The coachman looked at the parts on the horse and made sure they were all working.

The thirty-mile road, due to the good condition of the road, arrived in less than an hour.

Liu Lian jumped out of the car first, helped his father down, and said to Wang Yiqian, who greeted him, "Master Wang, can you help me change a set of things?" The handlebar is bound to be good, as well as the bodywork. ”

Wang Yiqian glanced at it, turned around and shouted: "Xu Sanpimple, your job." ”

"What's mine? Yo! Steward Liu, sincerity? "Somebody came over.

"Look at the car, what can I change?" Wang Yiqian pointed to the carriage.

Xu Sanpimple circled around the car: "Except for the wheels and hanging horses, all the others are changed." ”
