Chapter 209: Start work one day earlier, earn money one day earlier
Fortunately, the vegetable field to be dug was only a little more than one fen.
It was about 70 to 80 square meters, with two or three ridges.
As a result, just half of the digging was done, Qiao Yuyan came down the village road with a handbag.
Wu Wei stuck the shovel in the ground, held it with his hand to take a breath and said, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Yuyan saw that there was no one around, so she picked up the handbag and said, "I told Xichun to come and take a bath."
There are not many bathhouses these days, and the sanitary conditions are worrying.
Xiuchun and Xichun really don't like to go there.
They would rather hang a shower curtain at home and wash it than go to the village.
Fortunately, since the heating stove was installed at home, the temperature in the house has risen, and the bathing experience has also improved.
When Wu Wei heard this, he was immediately full of energy.
As a result, the vegetable field was dug up, and the two hadn't finished washing.
He was so bored that he could only turn over all the land in the vegetable garden in front of the door in one go.
When the land was turned over, the two of them had finished their bath.
The three of them simply cooked a pot of noodles and made a cover with all the leftovers from last night and poured it on top.
That's how they got through lunch.
Even so, such a rich cover of noodles would have been unimaginable last year.
In the afternoon, Wu Wei lay under the eaves of the corridor, stealing half a day of leisure.
In the main room behind him, Qiao Yuyan was tutoring Xichun and reviewing.
Before they knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
It was almost time to go back to school.
Especially as Qiao Yuyan was the class teacher, she had to get to school earlier.
Wu Wei had to ride his bike to send people back to the Qiao family compound, and then carry them back after they were packed.
Fortunately, there was everything in the teacher's dormitory, so there was no worry about food.
Qiao Yuyan didn't need to bring anything except a few sets of clothes to change.
The two returned to the fenced courtyard from the Qiao family compound, and Xichun had almost finished packing.
So they returned the same way they came yesterday.
When they arrived at the small courtyard on Bayi Road in the county, it was too late to cook, so Wu Wei took the two to the Bayi Road Restaurant to eat a bowl of beef noodles.
When the two returned to school together, Wu Wei finally had some free time.
He poured all the hot water from the three-burner coal stove into a bucket and took a big bath.
The next day was a new week.
God was particularly kind, and it was sunny for three consecutive days.
The clods of soil that were turned out from the vegetable garden at the gate of the fenced courtyard were thawed and became soft.
So on Wednesday morning, February 25th.
Qiao Wuye couldn't wait to take some people to the Xishan Brick Kiln Factory and started work ahead of time.
Wu Wei found the Qiao family compound, but didn't find anyone, so he ran over as his master's wife said.
As expected, when he came over, he saw it.
Not only Master Qiao Wuye was here, but even Secretary Qiao came here in person.
The brick kiln factory, which was originally desolate and deserted, immediately became bustling with activity.
Wu Wei parked the car and saw that the huge brick kiln factory site had already been covered with a lot of lime lines by Master.
According to his memory of the blueprint, Wu Wei could vaguely distinguish the location of the bathhouse, office, and the entire brick kiln factory wall.
He took out the cigarettes and distributed them to Master and Secretary Qiao.
Wu Wei then took out a lighter and said, "Master, why did you start work early?"
Mr. Qiao Wu said with a face full of longing and enthusiasm, "A year's plan begins in spring! I keep an eye on the land every day. As soon as it thaws, we will start work immediately. The sooner the better."
Secretary Qiao also echoed, "Starting work one day earlier means opening the kiln one day earlier. Opening the kiln one day earlier means producing bricks one day earlier, and the villagers can make money one day earlier."
As he was talking, Qin Xiuru, wearing an apron, brought a large bowl of tea and said, "Boss Wu, have a cup of tea."
Wu Wei was surprised, but still took it.
Then he heard Secretary Qiao sigh, "This widow Qin is really good! She keeps the two children of Fatty Zhou and insists on not remarrying."
Wu Wei raised his eyebrows and didn't know what to say.
But he was complaining in his heart.
Could it be that this woman can change her nature?
But Wu Wei didn't think too much about it.
He already had Qiao Yuyan, a talented future wife, so there was really no need to think about a young widow with two children.
After drinking half a bowl of tea in one breath, he heard Secretary Qiao ask, "When does Sister Zhao plan to come? I'll ask Jasmine to come with her then."
Wu Wei laughed and said, "You guys started the work so suddenly that I really didn't inform the old lady. Let's just wait until tomorrow and bring her over."
Secretary Qiao immediately said, "Then I have to arrange for someone to vacate a room for Sister Zhao. The specifications must be in place and cannot be lower."
Wu Wei disagreed with this.
But the old secretary was willing to make arrangements, so he didn't stop him.
Putting down the big bowl of tea and looking at the construction site of the rotary kiln, he saw that all the straw mats that were originally covered had been turned over to the side.
The brick wall on the foundation pit has been built.
Bit by bit.
In a blink of an eye, a day passed, and the wall of the rotary kiln did not grow much higher.
Before leaving work, Master Qiao Wu still reminded everyone to put all the straw mats back.
Although the ground had almost thawed.
But no one could guarantee that the temperature would suddenly drop to zero.
Fortunately, the next day, early in the morning of the 26th.
The weather was still as warm as yesterday.
Early in the morning, Wu Wei knocked on the door of the old lady Zhao next door and saw that the old lady had been waiting in the main room for a long time, with a basket of treasures for office accounting beside her.
"Let's go, old lady, I'll take you there myself."
Mrs. Zhao snorted softly.
She would never dare to sit on someone else's two-eighth pole.
But sitting in the back seat of this guy, I felt extremely at ease.
Not only that, along the way, this kid really talked a lot and made people laugh, and even made a big cake for her, an old man who was used to seeing the wind and rain.
"Old lady, as soon as the kiln factory develops tomorrow, I will directly equip you with a car."
"Go to get off work and get off work smoothly every day, so that you can enjoy the treatment of a leading cadre."
Mrs. Zhao curled her lips and looked disapproving.
But my heart was filled with joy.
Even if this is a lie, it still makes people happy to hear it.
The key is that there are still people who are willing to coax you. This is actually the most rare thing when you grow old.
But you still have to fight.
"As long as you don't sell my old bones, I will be grateful. I don't want the treatment of leading cadres anyway."
Wu Wei smiled, "I understand! Let Qiaoqiao take the exam in Shanghai later and drive you back. I'll see if you can sit down or not!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao was particularly sober and said: "When Qiaoqiao finishes her studies, she will be more than enough to be a financial section chief. If you let her drive a big car, wouldn't that be overkill? I won't allow you to abuse Qiaoqiao like this."
Wu Wei twirled his teeth and said, "I'll just say it casually."
"Besides, old lady, let me tell you clearly, within twenty years, driving will become a basic skill. Even if she doesn't drive for you, Qiao Qiao will have to take the driver's license exam for herself."
