18. Old stone moves bricks

Since going to Tang's house once, Tang Tang has consciously taken a closer relationship with Pomegranate, and he will quietly tell Pomegranate if there is any gossip on weekdays, and Pomegranate accidentally learned a bunch of unknown gossip stories.

Through Tang Tang's gossip, Pomegranate learned that Wang Zhaodi's mother was not only a Voldemort, but also a serious patriarchal, and the reason why Wang Zhaodi was allowed to go to high school was because Wang Zhaodi's academic performance was quite good, and she was admitted to a high school in the city; On the other hand, it is to sell it for a good price in the future.

Pomegranate's heart is full of helplessness, poor people, there must be something hateful, Wang Zhaodi is also a poor person, but Pomegranate will not change his opinion of Wang Zhaodi because of it, your mother is not good to you, you lose your temper at other people, and you have the ability to exert strength towards your mother.

"Knock knock-" Tang Tang's voice came from outside the door: "Pomegranate, are you at home?" ”

Pomegranate, who was making buns in the kitchen, heard the sound and hurriedly looked out, Grandma Zhao saw this and said thoughtfully: "Pomegranate, it seems to be Tang Tang's girl who listens to the voice, you go over and take a look, grandma helps you watch the fire." ”

Pomegranate was not polite, and hurriedly walked to open the door: "Tang Tang, why are you here now?" It just so happens that I made steamed buns, you eat two steamed buns and then go. "She hasn't eaten a lot of good things like Tang candy these days.

Tang Tang was not polite, and directly picked up a bun and nibbled on it, looking very hungry.

Pomegranate couldn't help but shake her head: "You haven't eaten?" ”

"Didn't you ask me to inquire where there is a need for temporary workers, I just learned the news that two regular workers in the brick factory smashed their feet while working, and they were seriously injured, and it is estimated that they will have to be kept for at least a month. They work in the brick factory as coolies, as long as they have the strength to do this work, a monthly salary of 25 yuan, people ask for 5 yuan, and the remaining 20 yuan to the substitute. ”

Pomegranate's eyes lit up when he heard this, and they couldn't do the work that was too skilled, but it was absolutely no problem to move bricks: "When will you come to work?" Do you need two? ”

"You have to start working the day after tomorrow, otherwise the brick factory will deduct your wages. I remember you said that your eldest brother has a lot of strength, so just let your two brothers come over when the time comes. Tang Tang squinted happily, oh, the pomegranate buns are so delicious, but it's a pity that she is embarrassed to come over often to eat, "By the way, these white noodles and pork are what my mother asked me to give you." ”

"Auntie is too polite, I usually eat your kimchi, how can I ask for these." I know very well how the pomegranate is, the Tang family should be delicious, not deliberately trying to take advantage of her, otherwise she would not have sent a hot water kettle and a seven-foot defective cloth on the second day of her visit to the Tang family.

"Hehe, in fact, this is my breakfast fee for the next week, I really like to eat the buns you made." In fact, Tang Tang was embarrassed to say that her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law also wanted to eat, but they were embarrassed, they were taking advantage of the convenience of being at the same table, and of course it was also related to her thick skin.

Pomegranate put down the cloth bag when she heard this, it will last long if there are contacts between friends, and she is not the master of losses, if Tang Tang blindly takes advantage, she will not be able to continue to contact the other party, but fortunately, her vision is not bad.

"Since people are in a hurry, then I will leave in the afternoon and strive to bring my two brothers over early tomorrow morning." Pomegranate didn't expect the time to be so urgent, so he could only rush back overnight, and the two of them were 40 yuan a month, which could build a thatched house in the countryside.

Tang Tang slapped her head, she almost forgot that her table was from the countryside, and she was in trouble: "Then you hurry up and pack your things, otherwise it's too late, I won't bother you first, you hurry up." When tomorrow comes, you can just find a person named Wang Aiguo. ”

Pomegranate sent people out of the door and went into the kitchen to pick up the meat buns, and then went to the hall to talk to Grandma Zhao, so as not to worry about her old man.

Grandma Zhao also knows that it is not easy for rural people to earn some money, and now they finally have a legitimate way to make money, and they will not give up anything, but just tell Pomegranate to pay attention to safety.

Pomegranate packed up a few things at random, and then hurried to catch the last train.

The conductor looked at the little girl with a surprised look and asked, "Why did you go to the county so late?" ”

Pomegranate said half-truthfully: "It's a bit urgent, I need to go home urgently, otherwise I don't want to rush to the night." ”

The conductor asked casually, after all, the last train is usually a man, and it is the first time for such a young single girl to see him.

Pomegranate was secretly glad that there were fewer people on the last train, and the smell in the car was slightly lighter, but even then she was dizzy. If she hadn't said hello to the ticket lady in advance, Pomegranate would have almost slept past the station.

After getting out of the car, the cold wind blew, Pomegranate shivered, walked to the dim alley in a few steps and took out the bicycle in the space. The bike was accidentally obtained from a department store check-in, otherwise she would have had to walk home this time.

Shijia Village at night is quiet, Pomegranate rode all the way and didn't see a person at all, in fact, this is normal, now there is no electric light or anything in the village, don't you sleep when it's dark.

"Mother, I'm back, open the door quickly-"

Su Sanlan heard her daughter's voice in a daze, woke up suddenly, hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out. Brother Shi and the others also heard the voice, and they were all worried about what happened to the pomegranate, so they ran home in the middle of the night.

"Oh, girl, why did you come back so late?" Thinking of the chance that her daughter would meet a second-rate son on the road, Su Sanlan was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Seeing this, Pomegranate hurriedly reassured: "Mother, there is no one on the road at all, besides, I'm not fine." ”

Brother Shi said with some disapproval: "Eldest sister, even if you are in a hurry, you shouldn't rush back at night, a girl's family is too unsafe." ”

The other three brothers also nodded, which showed that they were scared a lot.

Sister-in-law Shi gave her sister-in-law a cup of hot water, Pomegranate smiled gratefully, and then said to everyone: "If there is no big event, I plan to come back tomorrow, but I didn't get a good news." ”

"What's the good news?" Su Sanlan looked at her daughter excitedly.

The rest of the old Shi family also looked at the pomegranate with curiosity.

"I asked my classmates to find a job for my eldest brother, and they needed 20 yuan a month for two people."

“20! Girl, what kind of job are you looking for, your four brothers don't know anything except some strength, you must not ruin the relationship between classmates because of your brother and them. Su Sanlan said with some concern: "There is no shortage of food at home, and the food will be sent down soon." ”

Pomegranate waved his hand and said, "It's not any skilled work, it's to go to the brick factory to move bricks." My classmate said that two regular workers accidentally had an accident when they were moving bricks, and they smashed their feet, which were a bit serious. The people of their two families are reluctant to pay their salaries, but there is no substitute at home, so they can only find outsiders to replace them, but they get 5 yuan per month, and the tickets issued by the brick factory also belong to them. ”
