Zhiyuan understood the steps and stood firmly. He took the clay bricks handed by his cousin and began a new challenge. Under the dazzling light, Zhiyuan's figure swayed up and down. The kiln was stacked backward. He had just finished the remaining clay bricks and wanted to take a break. He heard Hei Zi shouting outside," Big Miao, come and help."”When his cousin heard that Hei Zi had come with clay bricks, he hurriedly went out to welcome him. He had to bend down to enter the small hole in the brick kiln, and the width was just enough for a car to enter. After a series of trumpets, Hei Zi bent over and pulled in a cart full of bricks. The bricks were several rows higher than the edge of the cart, like a small mountain. Zhiyuan was secretly shocked when he saw this." Fortunately, I chose to build the kiln. I can pick up and put down the kiln one by one, but pulling bricks requires a whole truck. I can't handle such a strong physical work with my physique."”However, stacking the bricks in the kiln was not a girl's job of embroidery, inserting leaves, and sewing needles. He had to do it in one go. He could not be distracted. He could not hold a brick in his hand for more than a second, or he would have to spend twice the effort to put it back in place. Zhiyuan had also spent a lot of effort to make more than a hundred bricks. He was already sweating all over because he was trying while fumbling. He was also an impatient person. Seeing Hei Zi panting as he parked the car, Zhiyuan leaned against the kiln wall and joked with him,""Brother Hei Zi, what's your zodiac sign? Donkey? It's definitely a donkey, isn't it?" Zhiyuan felt like a master now, which was why he dared to make such a joke. His cousin received the message." It's not like that. Brother Hei Zi is an elephant. He's a super strong man. Most people can only pull a cart, but Hei Zi can break the record.”Hei Zi was about to get anxious when he heard Zhiyuan's words, but when he heard his cousin's compliment, he smiled proudly.""My zodiac is the year of the camel. Brothers and friends, you've all guessed wrong. Xiaomiao, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but can you move a cart?”Before Hei Zi could finish his words, Zhiyuan and his cousin were laughing so hard that they were leaning forward and backward. If it weren't for the fact that they were leaning against the kiln wall, Zhiyuan would have fallen over. " I'm sorry, Brother Hei Zi," Zhiyuan quickly said." It was just a small joke. Don't take it to heart."”Hei Zi said," It's nothing. I was just joking to relieve my fatigue. Xiaomiao, hurry up. I'll pull another cart for you. It's almost done outside. Hurry up and do it."”After Hei Zi finished speaking, he bent down and went out. The brick kiln returned to peace. From time to time, the sound of footsteps could be heard above his head. The light shone on the bricks waiting to be placed. Zhiyuan felt a chill in his heart. When could such an empty cave be filled up? Just by relying on his hands? He felt a little guilty. He wanted to go back on his word, but when he saw the bricks in front of him, he retracted his heart.
The sky outside could not be seen from inside the kiln. There was only the lifeless bricks in the cave, accompanied by the sound of the bricks falling. Under the light, the figures of his cousin and Zhiyuan were busy working together. He and his cousin had nothing to talk about, but his cousin told Zhiyuan why he wanted him to build the kiln. His cousin said," I want you to earn more money. The kiln is the most long-term job in the brick kiln. The mud pond will stop in a few months. We'll use the soil prepared in advance. By then, we won't need so many people. By then, we'll have all the people in each position. What are you going to do?" I want you to occupy a good spot. The brick machine will stop this year after it has finished squeezing the soil, but the kiln will be the last to be completed. It will be completed two to three months later than the brick machine.”Zhiyuan understood why his cousin took the initiative to lead him into the cave first. It was a long-term plan for Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan was both happy and disappointed. He was happy because he had seized the initiative. He didn't know that there were so many ways to work in a brick kiln. He was disappointed because he had been hoping that his cousin would suddenly tell him that the recruitment in the mine had been confirmed.
Zhiyuan was tired. He didn't know how many bricks he had stacked, and he didn't remember how many times the black stones had gone in and out. He only felt his hands ache again, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart. The skin on his hands was red from the grinding of the dry bricks, but fortunately, there were no blisters this time. The calluses on his fingers had been rubbed off, and the pile of bricks was already more than one meter long. Zhiyuan felt that it was not a small amount, but when he looked back at the dark hole behind him, the credit in front of him seemed insignificant.
Finally, the last brick was placed. This time, before Hei Zi could pull the brick, the trip was interrupted. Zhiyuan ran to the entrance of the cave and looked outside. It was already dark outside. The occasional passing car on the opposite road turned on its headlights. Zhiyuan and his cousin were about to turn off the lights and leave when a group of people walked over in the distance. They couldn't see their faces clearly. They were walking in this direction. Zhiyuan and his cousin had no choice but to retreat into the cave. The first to enter was Yang Wu. He had returned from the city and bought some good things for everyone to improve their lives. Behind him were Si Hai and his father. Yang Wu looked at the pile of bricks that had been piled up and said happily to Zhiyuan and his cousin,""Aiya, it's not simple. Who built the kiln? It looks decent.”Zhiyuan had been feeling uneasy at first, thinking that Yang Wu would say that he did not do much. However, when he saw Yang Wu's approving gaze, he felt much more at ease. His worries were unnecessary.
When Yang Wu heard his cousin say that it was Zhiyuan's credit, he patted Zhiyuan's shoulder, which was covered in dirt, and said,""Xiaomiao, very good. In the future, the kiln will be yours. Train more and show those big fellows that they are all big empty cannons. They are big and silent. There was still one last car behind them. After they were done, they would go drink and eat meat.”Zhiyuan was already very tired. He thought that Yang Wu could go back for dinner after watching the movie. He didn't expect that there would be another car. He was a little disappointed and discouraged. However, when he thought about what Yang Wu had said just now, he felt very happy. After all, this was the first time someone had praised him outside, not to mention the nature of his work and the environment. Zhang Datou patted him on the shoulder, but then he said in a ruthless tone,""You should go home." This time, Yang Five was encouraging him with praise and affirmation. At least he had proved his value and status here with his hard work. He didn't care if Yang Five was sincere or just trying to make him happy, or if he was just trying to coax him to work more. Zhiyuan felt that the vanity that he had forgotten for a long time had come back. Perhaps it was unrealistic, or perhaps he did not want to be in such an occasion. It was fate's forced arrangement. Zhiyuan felt that his firm will and unyielding belief had won the approval and formal respect of others for a moment. Zhiyuan wasn't worthy of being proud because his dream wasn't in the brick kiln. However, Yang Wu's words also made him feel a lot better.
Yang Wu simply checked the direction and the progress before leaving. Si Hai and his father were purely here to enjoy the scenery. They only took a few glances at this time in the afternoon. When they saw that Yang Wu had left, they followed suit and slipped away. He returned to his room to continue drinking tea. Hei Zi lowered his head like a bull that did not know how to tire. He pulled a small cart this time. Hei Zi put down the cart and wanted to run. He might have smelled the smell of meat from the kitchen, which aroused his primitive desire to bite and devour. His cousin hurriedly said,"Hei Zi, don't go. Stay with us for a while. I have good cigarettes for you to smoke."”When Hei Zi heard that there was a good cigarette to smoke, he immediately pulled back his foot that had already stepped into the kiln door. His eyes were burning with greed. He turned around and pounced on his cousin, like a vicious wolf chasing its prey along the blood trail. "Where is it? Hurry up and bring it over. I've been thinking about it for half the afternoon. I'm about to die from slander. I won't give anyone a f * cking cigarette.”Blackie said as he reached into his cousin's pocket. He believed his cousin's words. It seemed that his cousin had never lied to them. The smell of tobacco made him forget the fragrance of the kitchen. In order to let everyone take care of Zhiyuan, his cousin often brought better cigarettes from home for everyone to smoke. Because his cousin and second uncle did not smoke, sometimes he would use the remaining cigarettes to make up for the favor. His cousin turned his back and pulled out a cigarette with a filter tip for Hei Zi. Hei Zi carefully took it, afraid that he would break the spiritual food that could make him excited. Hei Zi excitedly squatted on the ground and hurriedly lit the cigarette. He began to smoke fiercely. He greedily inhaled the smoke into his stomach. He stretched his head out to chase after the trace of smoke that had escaped. He held his breath and was reluctant to spit it out quickly. He wanted to let the addiction that had waited for half an afternoon slowly absorb the nourishment of the smoke and let his body relax naturally. He narrowed his eyes and savored the taste of the tobacco, enjoying the pleasure of flying in the smoke.
Zhiyuan looked contemptuously at Hei Zi, who was intoxicated by the stimulation of tobacco. What a good-for-nothing. A cigarette tied his legs. Was cigarettes that important to him? Zhiyuan smoked as well, but he had never shown such an expression or lost his composure. His cousin adjusted the position of the car so that he could pass it to Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan forced himself to be energetic and forgot the pain in his hand. He started the last sprint of the day. Although he was very tired, Yang Wu's words were like a stimulant for him. He quickly piled the bricks in his hands, as if he was accumulating the weight of youth. He used his sweat to pave the road to his dream and used his hands to close the infinite distance between reality and ideals. Using his sweaty arms to measure the height of the future.
The last cart of clay bricks was quickly piled up under the encouragement of his spirit. Hei Zi's performance had long ended. He was watching them in the kiln as if he was serious. Hei Zi was not a person who cared about management. He was still waiting for his cousin to get him a cigarette. His cousin took the hint and took out another one for Hei Zi. Hei Zi reached out to take it, but his cousin raised his hand and drew a semicircle in the air to avoid Hei Zi's pursuit." Brother Hei Zi, do a good deed to the end. Send the empty cart back. This is the rule of the kiln. Thank you." Hei Zi understood what his cousin meant. Actually, it was what he should do. Hei Zi used both hands to hold the handle of the cart and shook off the broken bricks on the cart before pushing them out. His cousin hurriedly stuffed the cigarette into Hei Zi's mouth. Hei Zi bit the filter and revealed two rows of disgusting yellow teeth as he smiled at his cousin. He was afraid that his cousin would go back on his word and withdraw the cigarette.
