This morning, after lunch, Zhiyuan came to the house next door to visit. Sihai was also there. He had been here for so long. This was Hei Zi's residence. Hei Zi was lying lazily on the bed, staring at the roof of the house with his big eyes like cow bells, as if he was looking forward to the pie falling quickly. Zhiyuan and the black-faced man were already familiar with each other and dared to call him Blackie directly. Here, they were workmates and friends. Now, he was familiar with everyone. He and his workmates chatted happily and bragged. By chance, Zhiyuan saw himself in their mirror with a dirty and unkempt face. He also saw a few white hairs in his messy hair. Zhiyuan was very sad and sad.
When he was in school, Zhiyuan was also very fond of beauty. His black and shiny hair was combed into a 30 - 70 split style. At that time, the trend of the Four Heavenly Kings swept the mainland. Zhiyuan's idol was Aaron Kuo, and he would sing his songs, such as " I Can't Stop Loving You," so he deliberately imitated his hairstyle. Zhiyuan didn't have a mirror because he didn't want to look in the mirror. He hadn't dressed up since he dropped out of school, and he didn't care about his image now. He didn't want to see himself in the mirror every day, looking down and depressed. He avoided her gaze like he avoided beautiful women.
Seeing that Zhiyuan was silent, Si Hai shouted enthusiastically,""Hey, Xiaomiao, what's wrong? Do you miss home or your wife? It's your turn to tell a story. Did you hear that? Fatty was telling us about the tomb raiding story just now.”At this point, Four Seas quickly added,"I say, there is an ancient tomb on the mountain near us. After the heavy rain last year, Fatty and I saw a hole that was washed away by the rain. It was a tomb, but we didn't dare to dig it. If we encounter it again this year, we will let Fatty do it.”When Zhiyuan heard Si Hai call out to him, he came back to his senses and said,""I don't have any good stories to tell. I'll just listen.”Zhiyuan was so upset that he was not in the mood to tell a story. Si Hai continued excitedly," Hey, let me tell you some good news. We won't be operating the brick machine this afternoon, and we have to improve our lives tonight. Yang Wu went to the city today to buy some things. Do you know why we won't be operating the brick machine?" Guess, bro." Four Seas pretended to be mysterious and did not finish his sentence at once. When Blackie heard that he had stopped working to improve his life, he sat up and crawled in front of Four Seas, asking,"What's wrong, Sihai? Tell me more. Do you have wine? I haven't drunk for half a month.”The more anxious Blackie was, the less Four Seas said. Blackie was so anxious that he scolded Four Seas," You f * cking calabash head, tell me quickly. Don't worry about me slandering you. Listen to your father. Why? I don't believe it. Only Yang Wu, who's like a skinner, and your father are willing to stop work."”Si Hai calmly said,"It's not a break. It's a temporary break to do other work. You're dreaming. You're always thinking about good things.”Blackie let Four Seas hit his sore spot and fell silent. Zhiyuan listened to their discussion about the coworkers who lived here. It would be too long-winded to ask how many of them did not have a wife. It would be easier to answer directly by asking how many of them had wives. Most of them were single, and some of them had either lost their wives or eloped with others. Being in such an environment made Zhiyuan feel discouraged and depressed. Was this what it meant to differentiate things by their classes and people by their groups? He was unwilling.
Si Hai continued," The brick kiln is about to be lit up. Didn't you see that the coal, wood, and kerosene have been bought outside? Blackie was right. Stopping the brick machine this afternoon isn't to rest but to do other work. We'll be stacking the bricks in the kiln and adding coal to the top of the kiln. The others will be transporting the bricks and collecting the grass to make room. Don't you see that the bricks are all stacked up? The rest of you will clean up the mud around the brick machine. If you don't clean it up, you won't be able to see the brick machine anymore. Also, we'll be repairing the brick machine and adding oil. Blackie, do you really think we're letting you sleep?" It's time. Let's go. Blackie, don't look at the sky like a tortoise. Let's go to the brick kiln and take a look.”Si Hai left after saying that.
Zhiyuan was annoyed. He also thought that he would not work this afternoon and that he could go to the mine to take a shower and cut his hair. He felt that he looked like a tramp. He originally thought that he could finally mail the letter to Yanmei. After listening to Sihai's words, everyone lost their excitement at the beginning and were happy for nothing. Everyone followed Si Hai out. Zhiyuan followed closely behind. He wanted to see what the inside of the brick kiln looked like.
Sure enough, there was no sound of the brick machine ringing on time today. The sky of the brick kiln was rarely quiet. The usual roar of the brick machine and the tractor made people dizzy. The wind avoided this noisy place and went around to the foot of the mountain far away to sing happily, leaving behind a cloud of dust that did not fall to the ground for a long time. One by one, everyone gathered under the brick kiln. It was Si Hai who had called for a meeting here. Si Hai's father slowly walked over. Si Hai's father usually did not show his face in public. Today, Yang Wu was not around, so he had to play the role of a leader. He cleared his throat and said," Hey, I have something to say today. Yang Wu won't be going to Zaocheng today. The brick machine has been stopped this afternoon. It's time to fire the bricks. The clay bricks in the field have been piled up. There were not enough people in the first few days, so there was no one to install the kiln. Now, a few more workers have come. They have been cleaning the slag in the kiln for more than ten days. The people in the mud pond don't have to go and work on the kiln this afternoon. Today, the people working at the brick machine were still returning to the machine. Four Seas, who was working at the brick machine, arranged specific tasks for everyone. The machine mechanic was checking and repairing the brick machine. Those who were stacking bricks were still working on the spot. These few days, they were loading dry bricks and preparing to load the kiln. Did everyone understand? Alright, everyone return to your posts.”Si Hai's father had finished his simple speech. Everyone was listening absent-mindedly. When they heard that the meeting was over, the crowd dispersed. They were joking and laughing. It had been a long time since they had such peace and quiet. It was time to relax, so everyone was releasing their inner joy to their heart's content.
