The novelty at the beginning soon passed. The work in the brick kiln was purely physical labor. There were no complicated steps, skills, or skills. As long as you had endless strength, there would be endless work. The simple work soon made Zhiyuan enter a mechanical state of labor. Zhiyuan followed his cousin to the back. On the way, Zhiyuan saw Liu Xia and Liu Juan who were teasing him. They also saw Zhiyuan and smiled at him. What are you laughing at, Big Sis? When they reached the tool room next to the brick machine, they each took their own tools. There were no tools, just shovels and pickaxes. At the bottom of the mud pond, the big guys were divided into two groups. Two tractors had to take turns to transport the mud pulling machine to the mortar behind it. Cousin was the leader of this group. His cousin simply divided the work, and the tractor rushed over from afar. It was emitting black smoke, as if it was venting the anger in its heart, but also as if it was declaring war on the crowd. When his cousin saw the tractor, he said,""The ten of us will be divided into two shifts. Each shift will load one vehicle.”Er Hai and San Du were Si Hai's older brothers. Si Hai said that he had five brothers, and he had a nine-year-old younger brother.
Zhiyuan and his cousin were in the same small class. Zhiyuan and the others were the first to load the car. The firecrackers in front of them started. They could start now. The firecrackers for the opening of the market started. "Brothers, come on. Take your chopsticks and pick up the food.”With his cousin's call, everyone waved their shovels and started working. As the weather had just melted, the soil here was sticky and hard. They watched as everyone easily loaded the yellow soil into the truck. Zhiyuan was also eager to try. Zhiyuan used all his strength to hold the shovel and thrust it into the mound. After shoveling a full shovel, he used all his strength to load it onto the car. He half-squatted and pulled the shovel hard. With a plop, Zhiyuan squatted on the ground. Everyone laughed. It turned out that he used the wrong strength. The shovel was clean. He should have used more strength before pulling the shovel. He first used strength to pull back, but he fell and squatted. A dark-faced man in his thirties teased,"Big brother, you must be cooking. You're afraid of sticking to the shovel, so you go clean and come back clean. You're so skinny and you dare to eat this bowl of rice? Your family is really willing to let you do the work of the brick kiln. This is the outcome of not going to school properly. You'll have to suffer in the future.”"Hey, Blackie, are you bored? You have the time to talk. Come, come over and put on a shovel to dissipate your firepower. If you didn't speak, others would think you were mute.”San Hai said angrily. Zhiyuan glared at the big black-faced man in shame and anger. The big black-faced man was thinking about something. Of course, he did not dare to compete with San Hai. He was not afraid of fighting and being beaten. It was the rice bowl provided by Yang Wu and San Hai's family that made him tolerate it. Cousin didn't make a sound. What did he say? Blackie made San Hai choke and return to his senses. Zhiyuan lowered his head and looked at the shovel handle that was thicker than his neck. He was indeed a little scared. The yellow clay here was really heavy. A shovel of clay was much heavier than the yellow sand soil in his hometown. It was more than 20 catties. Moreover, the truck was almost higher than Zhiyuan. However, he could not accept the humiliation of the big black-faced man. He was unwilling to be beaten back to his hometown again. He did not have the courage to go home before the first lunar month. Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and threw the shovel again. His face was red. A shovel full of clay was thrown into the car by Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan endured the pain and gritted his teeth to load dozens of shovels in one breath. His cousin calmly watched Zhiyuan's desperate expression. At this time, Zhiyuan was already panting. He really couldn't fit the shovel in his hand into the back of the truck. Zhiyuan felt that he was already sweating. Fortunately, the truck was full and it was time to leave. It was time for another truck to load. Zhiyuan took the opportunity to sit on the ground." I'm so tired," Zhiyuan said, panting heavily. His cousin saw all of this and said to Zhiyuan,""Can you hold on? Don't force yourself. If you can't, I'll give you a lighter job. I'm afraid you'll be tired.”"It's fine. I can hold on. I'll be fine after training for a while.”
Zhiyuan saw his cousin trying his best to load the car, waving the big shovel in his hand easily. Zhiyuan knew that his cousin was working hard for him. He was afraid that Zhiyuan would drag everyone down and let others gossip about him. Zhiyuan saw it and felt pain in his heart." Am I really like what Zhang Datou said? Can't I do anything?" He recalled Zhang Datou's expression when he talked about him. What he said was similar to the current situation. It had been more than a year. Why was he still making a fool of himself in front of everyone?
It was finally time for lunch. The brick machine in front of him was still roaring tirelessly. The tractor had left, and Zhiyuan was already starving. He did not know how he stubbornly used all his strength to load the last shovel of soil. It was the shovel that slid in while leaning against the edge of the car. Because Zhiyuan was small and small, he tried his best to get close to the truck to load the soil into the car. The soil also fell into his neck. He angrily took a bite and fell into his mouth. The rustling sound reached his ears directly. His teeth were dry. He spat it out fiercely in front of him and smashed it into the wind. He wanted to leave traces of struggle on the hard ground that had been crushed by the wheels. He wanted to chew the bumpy stone in his fate. His cousin looked at him from afar with heartache. He wanted to see if he could withstand the provocation of the yellow soil in front of him under his heavy burden. Zhiyuan was afraid that the tractor would appear again from the other side of the slope with its iconic thudding sound. He looked exhausted and exhausted. Everyone waited for a while. Finally, the driver stood on the slope and waved his hand."Time to eat." Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and ran away. He was also hungry. Zhiyuan woke up late this morning. His breakfast was rice soup and youtiao. By the time he woke up, others had already snatched them all. When he opened his eyes, he saw his roommate, Fatty, eating the golden youtiao greedily. He only saw the snow-white rice grains scattered on the edge of the big iron pot, which was so dazzling in the dark kitchen.
When they heard that it was time to eat, everyone ran away as if they had heard the call of God's gift. It was like a wolf that had been hungry for an entire winter, desperately chasing after its prey, chasing after the hope of survival, in order to continue guarding the sun that would rise tomorrow. Zhiyuan looked at his cousin, who was silently cleaning up the scattered tools. Zhiyuan tried his best to hide his hunger. He helped his cousin clean up the tools while swallowing his saliva. He seemed to see everyone fighting for the shiny chicken drumsticks in the kitchen. He did not dare to run away like others. He pretended to be calm and wanted to leave a good impression in front of his cousin. He thought that he would wait until the day when the coal mine hired workers. He wanted his second uncle's family to be at ease and fight for a spot for him. After cleaning up, his cousin said," You go eat. I'll just hide the tools. If you're late, there won't be any food to eat."”"Let's go quickly. I'm not too hungry.”As Zhiyuan spoke, he tried to resolve the urge in his heart that was like a hungry wolf. His heart was anxiously rubbing the hunger reaction repeatedly, as if the prey was about to escape his sight.
Zhiyuan and his cousin walked out of the mud pond. They could no longer hear the sound of the brick machine in front of them. It had already stopped its tireless body. When they passed by the brick machine, Zhiyuan turned his head and looked inside. There was no one in the brick machine shed. There was only the sound of dripping water from the water mouth of the brick machine. The cut bricks were neatly arranged on the cutting platform. It was obvious that everyone put down their unfinished work and ran away when it was time for dinner.
Outside the kitchen, some of them were sitting on the ground, some were squatting down and eating seriously. Some were enjoying themselves alone, while others were gathered opposite each other and talking loudly about their feelings and interesting stories. Third Brother Chef was squatting on a big rock at the door, smoking a cigarette. From afar, he looked like a stone lion at the entrance of the luxurious villa, standing alone in front of the majestic vermilion wooden door. When Third Brother saw them, he said lazily and enthusiastically," Damiao, why are you so late? You've already finished getting food. I don't have to go. You guys can scoop it yourself. The steamed buns are in the basket behind the door."”He went back to his room to get a rice bowl. Zhiyuan stood in front of the steaming pot and looked around. There were still a lot of dishes, and they were potatoes. It was already good enough to have food to eat when he was out. Zhiyuan was hungry. He filled half the jar and turned around to take two steamed buns. Although he was extremely hungry, he did not eat much. His skinny body and shriveled belly would not be able to store too much. Zhiyuan saw several bags of potatoes piled up in the corner of the kitchen. Some were rotting, and some had already sprouted purple-green sprouts. Zhiyuan remembered that he had learned in botany class that eating sprouted potatoes would cause poisoning. Sigh, who would care so much here? They dug out the bean sprouts with a knife and ate them. No one lived so carefully. Looking at the formation of this pile of potatoes, it was enough to eat for a month. Brothers, enjoy it slowly.
