Gao Yuanjian's brick kiln has been burning for two days, and in the past two days, their family and several relatives have taken turns to watch the fire.

Hearing the news from the villagers, he hurried to the entrance of the village, and as for the task of burning the fire, it fell on Huang Su'e.

At this time, Huang Su'e was taking her two children to make a fire in the brick kiln in the back mountain, and she didn't know what was going on outside.

It's just that no matter how anxious she is, she can't let go of the fire and not burn, because even if she goes, she can't help as a woman.

The eldest son was playing next to her, helping her carry the firewood to the kiln, but the child was too young to carry the heavy firewood, so he could only move small pieces of firewood, running back and forth, and he could play alone.

As for the youngest daughter, she was still too young to walk at all, so she put it in a big basket and let her sit in it and play naughtily.

Lighting a fire in a brick kiln is a chore.

In places where the conditions are better, coal is used to burn bricks, coal can burn longer, and the temperature in the kiln can also be higher, after filling the coal once, people can rest for a while.

But burning firewood is not enough, people must stay here, and firewood must be added from time to time to maintain the high temperature in the kiln.

When the brick kiln is empty, the kiln mouth is about one meter five high, and people can easily enter and exit by bending down slightly, which is conducive to people moving bricks in and out.

But when the fire starts, the kiln door should be made small with mud and bricks, leaving only one inlet for firewood.

Huang Su'e glanced at the two children, and then filled the firewood into it, in order to make the fire, she could only sit near the mouth of the kiln, and the temperature in the kiln was as high as 1,000 degrees!

She sat at the mouth of the kiln, only to feel the heat wave coming, even if she closed her eyes, there was a fire shadow in front of her, which also made her feel dry.

I don't know if Mingpeng will be fine......

Huang Su'e was worried while filling firewood.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming towards this side, and Huang Su'e immediately turned her head to look, and saw her father-in-law and husband at first sight!

Seeing that they were safe and sound, Huang Su'e was finally relieved, and when she saw Gao Mingcheng beside them, she was even more relieved.

It turns out that the second brother Gao Mingcheng is back, that's good!

Gao Yuanjian walked towards the brick kiln with a smile, but the object of their greatest attention was Lou Xinyu.

I have to say that Lou Xinyu's impression of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law is quite good.

has a formal job, people have the ability, the key is that he is willing to help the Yue family!

In the future, if Shufang is married, if there is anything at home, he can also help!

After having this good impression, even in the subsequent chat, Gao Yuanjian learned that Lou Xinyu had no father and mother, and his relatives died, and his impression of him did not deteriorate.

However, Luo Xiaohua's face changed, and she muttered a little in her heart.

Lou Xinyu's family has no one, how can this work? That's not going to be bullied to death! If something happens, no relatives or friends will help!

Besides, if there is no mother-in-law, who will serve Shufang in confinement in the future?

But seeing that Gao Yuanjian's attitude towards Lou Xinyu was very enthusiastic, Luo Xiaohua also pouted and remained silent for the time being.

Lou Xinyu came to Gaojia Village this time to help with things, so after explaining his situation clearly, he proposed to go to the brick kiln to help, and said that he had burned bricks.

He wanted to help, Gao Yuanjian was naturally willing, and he was very happy in his heart, but he just said that the person who came was a guest, and he couldn't let Lou Xinyu do those things.

But under Lou Xinyu's repeated requests, the group still came to the Houshan brick kiln.

Gao Shufang hadn't been home for a while, and it was the first time she saw a brick kiln, so she looked at it curiously.

In order to express himself, Lou Xinyu specially explained to Gao Shufang, such as where is the kiln mouth, where is the kiln roof, and where is the flue.

Lou Xinyu pointed to the top of the kiln and said: "Look, there was originally a hole in the top of the kiln, and when the bricks were burned at the beginning, the top of the kiln could not be sealed, so that the fire would rise and burn all the bricks stacked on top of it." ”

"When the bricks on it are almost burned, the top of the kiln must be sealed, and then continue to burn, and now it has been burned for two days, today is the third day, and after the burning is completed tomorrow, the kiln mouth can be sealed."

"The next step is to flood...... Look, there's a little pond nearby! Generally, when building a kiln, it is necessary to consider the problem of firewood and water source, so that it is convenient to burn the fire and carry water. ”

Lou Xinyu is really familiar with the brick kiln, so the explanation is relatively in place, and even Gao Yuanjian nodded again and again when he heard it.

At this time, Lou Xinyu had already come to the kiln, and he already knew that it was the wife of the eldest brother Gao Mingpeng who was burning the fire here, so he shouted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you go to rest, I'll just light the fire." ”

Huang Su'e was stunned, because she didn't know who Lou Xinyu was.

At this time, Gao Mingpeng also came over and said to her: "Su'e, you take the child back to rest first, and wait to prepare lunch with your mother." ”

Lou Xinyu came to the door with six gifts, one of which was ten catties of pork!

This gift made Gao Yuanjian very face-saving in the eyes of the villagers.

Then this meal at noon naturally has to be entertained well.

Huang Su'e didn't know why, but she didn't want to watch the child and light the fire at the same time, so she bent down and picked up her daughter who was sitting in the basket, and called her son again, ready to go home first.

After she left, the task of burning the fire fell to Lou Xinyu, he was quite energetic to work, first he started to fill the firewood, and then began to cut the larger firewood, so that it was convenient to fill the kiln.

The vigor of this work made Gao Yuanzhi more and more satisfied.

Even Luo Xiaohua, who had some thoughts in his heart, was smiling at this time.

Lou Xinyu was willing to work, but Gao Mingcheng was not so willing, he glanced at the brick kiln a few times, and then prepared to leave first.

This time he went back to the village, and he also had his own things to do.

"Dad, big brother, I'll go to Niuweiling first." Gao Mingcheng said hello and prepared to leave.

Seeing that he was leaving, Gao Yuanjian hurriedly said, "Then remember to come to the house for dinner at noon!" ”

Usually when he goes back to the village, Gao Mingcheng eats much more food at his grandmother's house than at his parents' house, but today there is Lou Xinyu, a guest, so he naturally has to come over to accompany the guest.

Gao Mingcheng nodded, agreed, and walked quickly.

After he left, Lou Xinyu said to Gao Shufang: "I heard that the second brother contracted a mountain and planted fruit trees there?" In the afternoon, let's go over there and have a look! ”

Since witnessing Gao Mingcheng's skills, Lou Xinyu has become more enthusiastic about Gao Mingcheng, and he wants to know more about Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Shufang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, second brother, he planted a lot of fruit trees, such as peach trees, pear trees, orange trees, grapefruit trees, bayberry trees, loquat trees, and grapes!" What was planted two years ago is now just enough to eat. ”

With so many kinds of fruits, Lou Xinyu became more and more curious.

Gao Yuanjian didn't really intend to let Lou Xinyu burn the fire all the time, he wanted to talk to Lou Xinyu more, and it was best to grasp all the situations of Lou Xinyu.

He asked, and Lou Xinyu answered, this pair of future sons-in-law got along well.

Gao Mingcheng didn't care about this side of the matter, at this time he walked quickly to the entrance of the village and drove his tractor all the way to Niuweiling.

Niuweiling, Chen Dasong and Zhang Chengyuan's two families also knew what happened in the village just now, and they were gossiping while getting together to work at this time.

When Gao Mingcheng came over, Chen Dasong immediately gave Gao Mingcheng a thumbs up and praised enthusiastically: "Mingcheng, you are this!" ”

"Brother Mingcheng, you are amazing! Early in the morning, my dad called me to work in the mountains, otherwise I would have liked to go and see! Chen Duoxi said regretfully.

Mayday is the most busy time for farming! The fields must be managed, and the fruit trees of Xiaofushan must be managed!

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said to Chen Duoxi: "Do you want to learn to drive a tractor?" I plan to go to the provincial capital in a few days to buy a micro truck and come back, when the time comes, this tractor will be in the village, you can use it to plow the fields, or every few days, you can send me eggs and vegetables to the county. ”

As soon as he heard this, not only Chen Duoxi's eyes lit up, but also Chen Dasong and Chen Duofu were also full of excitement.

Zhang Chengyuan's personality is cowardly, he is not good at seeking benefits for himself, and he only watches from the side, but his eyes fall on the tractor, and he is obviously eager to try.

Gao Mingcheng noticed his gaze.

In his previous life, Zhang Chengyuan could still drive a tractor, and even he would simply repair a tractor! And he has a bit of talent in this area.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng said to Zhang Chengyuan: "Brother, you also learn together, and you can use it together when the time comes." ”

"Hey." Zhang Chengyuan responded, because of excitement, his dark cheeks were a little red.

Since everyone's enthusiasm for learning is high, Gao Mingcheng does not hide it, and immediately teaches these people how to drive a tractor.

First teach the theory, then let a few of them take turns to test drive, and if there is a problem, he will point it out in time.

In front of Gao Mingcheng's house, there is a vacant lot, which was originally planned to facilitate vehicles to transport fruits and park, and now Zhang Chengyuan and his family are practicing driving a tractor in this vacant land.

After teaching them, Gao Mingcheng was ready to go about his own business.

He first went into the house, took a dagger from it and pinned it to his waist, and then took up a hoe, and prepared to go up the mountain.

As early as when he came back, the black tiger and other dogs had crowded over, and now seeing that he was about to enter the mountain, they followed him behind.

Just halfway up the mountain, Rhubarb and the two puppies stopped.

Rhubarb loves to scream, but it is actually a little cowardly, and it doesn't like to follow Gao Mingcheng into the mountains, it's tired!

If it is an ordinary person, then Rhubarb can keep up, but Gao Mingcheng is not an ordinary person, this person can run faster than a dog! How do you want a dog to chase?

So Rhubarb slacked off, and simply took his two dog sons to hang around at the foot of the mountain, anyway, if there is prey, he will have his own meat to eat.

Well, Rhubarb thinks so beautifully!

Gao Mingcheng naturally didn't know Rhubarb's thoughts, so he walked quickly all the way into the mountain at this time.

This time in the mountains, he was going to dig a few pits to plant Poria cocos.

Poria cocos is suitable for planting in May and October, because the temperature is suitable for the growth of Poria cocos at this time, and Gao Mingcheng has always planted it in May.

Because in October, he had to collect medicinal herbs and run the camphor tree medicine fair, but he didn't have time to plant any poria cocos.

Time was a little tight, so he decided to dig a pit in the morning and plant it in the afternoon, and try to get it done in one day.

Fortunately, he has excellent physical strength and is very familiar with this mountain forest, and soon came to a suitable location for planting Poria cocos.

These locations were all planned by him in advance, and he also cut down and piled up the pine wood nearby, and after digging the pit, he could saw the pine wood into sections and stack it in the pit.

After coming to the place, Gao Mingcheng didn't say a word, buried his head and did it, waving the hoe in his hand, and digging a big pit on the hillside little by little.

This hillside can only dig two pits, after he dug it, he has to move to the next position, because there are requirements for Poria cocos planting, if it cannot meet its growth requirements, the light will not grow well, and the heavy will not be planted directly, and it will be a waste of effort.

Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng has two years of planting experience and has some experience in this.

After digging five pits in a row, the time had already reached eleven o'clock.

Because he promised to go to his parents' house for dinner at noon, Gao Mingcheng didn't continue to dig any more, he looked at the pit he had dug and felt that it was almost enough to plant these.

When he came down, he left his hoe next to the pit, because he also needed to cover the soil with a hoe in the afternoon.

"Black Tiger, Elf, look for the traces of the hare, and I'll give you a meal!" Gao Mingcheng bent down and touched the heads of the two dogs.

When he was doing things, the two dogs were always by his side, which made him feel very warm.

After receiving the order, the black tiger and the elf immediately became excited and began to wander around the mountains and forests, looking for traces of their prey.

May is the season of growth, and the mountains and forests become green and colorful compared to winter, with new young leaves and blooming flowers everywhere.

Noon is not the time for hares, but after the morning activities, their scent will remain in the mountains, and with the smell of black tigers and elves, they can still follow this smell to find the traces of hares.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Gao Mingcheng harvested two gray-brown hares, although the harvest was not much, but it was barely strong!

Raising his wrist and glancing at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock.

"Let's go, go down the mountain!" Gao Mingcheng greeted and ran quickly towards the bottom of the mountain, the black tiger and the elf immediately followed, and in the quiet mountain forest, the movement of one person and two dogs startled the birds to fly wildly.

A stupid bird actually flew over Gao Mingcheng's head, but Gao Mingcheng instinctively reached out and grabbed it in the palm of his hand.

When I looked down, it turned out to be a small sparrow.

Okay, let's add food to a few dogs!

After Gao Mingcheng got down the mountain, it was too late to deal with these hares, so he handed the hares to Chen Duoxi, who was still practicing driving, and said: "Help me deal with this hare, and the rabbit meat will be fed to the black tigers." ”

Chen Duoxi hurriedly ran over and caught the hare, and when he heard the words, he didn't forget to cast envious eyes at the black tigers.

Tsk, this dog eats even better than him!

Although Chen Duoxi will be able to get his salary from this month, the family's money will be spent on building a house and marrying a daughter-in-law for his eldest brother, and their family is still poor! (End of chapter)
