Chapter 4-Brickyard
The next morning, Lei Dongbao called all the bachelors in the village to the team headquarters for a meeting.
He decided to re-burn the brick kiln at the back of the village. It was originally a brick kiln that had been sealed by the team. In fact, the interior was still intact and could completely be used to burn bricks.
It was just that this group of bachelors were all lazy and the weather was cold. No one was interested in repairing the brick kiln.
Lei Dongbao said angrily,
"I told you to do some work, but you all acted like someone died in your family. I'll start counting now. After the brick factory is opened, I only want 30 people. I don't want any more.”
At this moment, a few bachelors followed behind. The ones leading them were his childhood friends, Si Bao and Hong Wei.
After someone took the lead, there were a few more people.
Lei Dongbao saw that there were still not enough 30 people and said,"After the brick factory is put into production, I guarantee that everyone will get 40 yuan a month. At that time, not to mention marrying a beautiful wife, even buying a sewing machine and a television set would not be a problem!”
Although everyone didn't believe that Dongbao could make them so much money, they had been single for too long. Many of them were almost forty years old, and their hands had calluses.
Hearing Lei Dongbao's bewitchment, they all followed him.
Soon, the brick factory was restored to its original state under the efforts of the 30 able-bodied men. As long as they found a brick master to repair the inside of the brick factory, they could start firing the kiln in two days.
Taking advantage of the time when the interior of the brick factory was being repaired, Lei Dongbao carried the pork distributed by the village during the New Year and went to Song Yunping's house with three yuan in his hand.
When she arrived at Song Yunping's house, she found out that Song Yunhui had already gone to the provincial capital to attend university. Song Yunping was the only one at home.
"Song Yunping, I'm really sorry about stepping on your rabbit last time. I'm here to apologize.”Lei Dongbao smiled and handed three yuan to Song Yunping.
Song Yunping declined." There's really no need. You were the one who helped me find the rabbit last time." I'll take the pork, but forget about the money."
Lei Dongbao grabbed Song Yunping's fair and slender palm with his right hand and forcefully stuffed three yuan into her palm. He said,
"I, Lei Dongbao, keep my word. If I say I want to compensate, you will definitely compensate.”
Song Yunping felt Lei Dongbao's thick, rough, and warm palm, and her face turned red. This was the first time she had been held by a man!
Song Yunping quickly pulled her hand back and stammered,"Alright, I'll take it."
This time, Lei Dongbao realized that he was impatient. There was nothing he could do. In Lei Dongbao's memory, she was already his wife. He had forgotten that they were not familiar with each other at this time.
Lei Dongbao quickly put his hand behind his back and said with a smile,"I just rushed over from Xiao Lei's house. I haven't even drunk a sip of water.”
Song Yunping blushed and quickly turned to the kitchen."I'm really sorry. I'll go get you a cup of hot water now.”
Lei Dongbao looked at the uneasy Song Yunping and smiled in his heart."My wife is so cute. I want to kiss her."
When Song Yunping poured hot water, Lei Dongbao blew on it twice and drank it in one gulp. He exhaled in satisfaction and said,
"Song Yunping, can you earn money by raising this long-haired rabbit?”
Song Yunping nodded." I've already asked the technician at the animal husbandry station. The annual fur of this kind of rabbit can earn a lot of money!" It's just that it's a little troublesome to raise them."
Lei Dongbao smiled and said,"Then can you teach the women of our Little Lei family to raise this too?" Those women had nothing to do all day, so they sat at the village entrance and chatted.”
Song Yunping didn't know whether to refuse or agree. She thought for a moment and said,"Let's talk about it in the future. I haven't even recovered yet.”
"Alright! Then when you earn money, you must come to our Lei family to impart your experience.”Lei Dongbao put down the cup and prepared to leave.
Song Yunping stood up to send him off.
Lei Dongbao seemed to have thought of something and said,"Your brother has gone to school, and there's no man in his prime at home. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to Xiao Lei's house to find me, Lei Dongbao!”
Song Yunping nodded gratefully. Since she was young, her family background was not good. She had developed an independent and competitive personality. Her classmates and friends had intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from her.
This was the first time a stranger was willing to take the initiative to help her. Lei Dongbao had given her some warmth in this cold winter.
......
Two days after Lei Dongbao returned to Little Lei's house, the brick factory had also successfully fired the kiln. In a few days, the first batch of red bricks would be produced.
The villagers working in the kiln were excited and looking forward to it. If the first kiln brick could be sold successfully, they would have the capital to pay their salaries.
If everything went well, then Secretary Dong Bao's beautiful wife would be around the corner.
When this group of bachelors thought about getting married, they were all on steroids and their enthusiasm for work was extremely high.
While everyone was working, Lei Dongbao brought Shigen to the surrounding villages to promote their own red bricks. Their bricks were of better quality than the brick factory in the county, and the price was one cent cheaper.
Soon, several farmers had ordered the bricks from Ray's family's brick factory.
Everything went smoothly. Lei Dongbao knew that with his ability to predict history, there were too many things he could do next.
He had to correct the mistakes he had made in the past, and he had to cherish the people he did not cherish.
