Chapter 671: Help for the Family

It is already a natural thing in rural areas to separate families between brothers, or between father and son. Compared with other families, Shaoan and his sister-in-law have lived with them for several years of marriage, which is not easy. Now they want to It is beyond reproach no matter how you look at it.

Shen Long could see that Shaoan was very sad. Shen Long understood his feelings. The Sun family had been poor for several generations. Now that they had built a new cave dwelling and built a brick factory, the situation could finally be better. He also wanted to let The family lives with him.

However, both the old man Yuhou and his wife Xiulian objected to him doing this. Xiulian had suffered with Shaoan for several years and wanted to live a more relaxed life, while the old man Yuhou was unwilling to drag them both down; Shaoan felt sad for this , there is still a hint of anger, can't the family live a good life?

It is inevitable that there is also blame for this younger brother. If he stays in Shuangshui Village and burns the kiln with him, then he and Xiulian can relax, and father will not have to work so hard.

"Brother, don't think too much about the separation of the family. Dad's thinking is right. You and my sister-in-law should live separately now... Actually there are not many people in the family! Dad and I are two This can be maintained!" Shen Long comforted Shao'an, and after talking for a long time, Shao'an felt that the huge mental pressure caused by the separation of the family for so many days seemed to have eased a little.

"By the way, brother, I brought you something back from Huangyuan this time." After Shen Long finished speaking, he began to take out things from his pockets. Clothes and food had already been given, and now there are other things.

"It's not easy for you to make money outside. You can just keep the money you earn, and you don't need to buy anything for us." Seeing his brother's appearance, Shaoan felt a little distressed. In his heart, Shaoping had no way out in Huangyuan, except to attract What else can you do if you work hard? He couldn't bear to let his younger brother spend money for him, besides, didn't he already give so much?

"Brother, it's nothing else. I went to the Huangyuan Library to check some information, and then went to the factory to ask the old workers. They said that if the brick kiln was changed in this way, it would save more firewood and produce less brick waste. Much more." Shen Long took out a stack of drawings and handed them to Sun Shaoan, which was the result of his drawing during this period of time.

After all, burning bricks is a chemical reaction. He had looked at Shaoan's brick kiln earlier and thought of many ways to improve it, but he couldn't find an excuse to mention it at the time. Now it is finally a reason to go out.

"Look, if we change the inside like this, it won't take much effort, and we can save 30% of the firewood at once, which is not a lot of money." The Loess Plateau lacks vegetation, and the biggest expenses for firing brick kilns are fuel and labor. On the one hand, Shaoan and Xiulian are now carrying it by themselves, and the old man Yuhou also comes to help when they are busy.

Even this is too busy, until Shao'an went to pull the foolish son of the village fool Tian Er, Hanniu, to help, but there was no way to save fuel expenses.

"Let me take a look." Sun Shaoan took the blueprint, squatted on the ground and smoked the dry stick cigarette he rolled, and began to think about it. The blueprint is simple, but it can be understood at a glance, and there are supplementary explanations in plain language. Based on Sun Shaoan's accumulated experience in firing kilns, he vaguely realized that perhaps this method would really work.

"Hey, you should be allowed to go to college again back then. It's a pity that you didn't study hard." Sun Shaoan sighed, stood up, looked around the brick kiln, and took the blueprints to those few. Comparing the place to be changed, I feel more and more reliable, "It just so happens that I plan to repair the kiln recently, so let's do it together along the way."

"I'm here to help you! Wait until your next kiln is fired before leaving.

If there is any situation, I will go back to check the information and ask the master. "Shen Long said, although the method is simple, Shaoan is still a little worried about doing it alone.

"You might as well stay in the village. The two of us are working together to burn bricks. Isn't it better than you wandering around in Huangyuan?" Sun Shaoan repeated the old saying, Shen Long smiled and refused, this is still called separation.

After comforting Sun Shaoan and discussing the matter of repairing the kiln, Shen Long returned to the old cave dwelling of the Sun family, helped his grandma take a look at his body, and handed over the medicine he had prepared to his mother, asking her to secretly give it to grandma every day; For grandma, she was reluctant to take it. The medicine bought for her in the early years had expired and she was still not willing to take it.

Then I found the old man Yuhou, took out some shredded tobacco from the bag and lowered it. This matter can also be mentioned, "This is a little tobacco leaf given by others. I think it is better than the one grown at home, so I asked him for it." After buying some seeds, you can try smoking it first, and if you really think it is good, we will replace it with this kind of tobacco leaf in the future."

The old man Yuhou didn't care about Shen Long's words. When it comes to fiddle with tobacco leaves, whether it's planting or drying and processing, he is one of the best figures in Shuangshui Village. The shredded tobacco is better than my own.

But this was specially brought back by his child from other places. The old man Yuhou smoked the shredded tobacco in the pipe pot in a few gulps, looked at the pipe to remove the soot, twisted a little tobacco and stuffed it into the pipe pot, "Hey, it smells really good. good."

I lit it and took a few puffs. The taste was exceptionally good. Shen Long quickly passed over the intact tobacco leaves and seeds. The old man Yuhou took the tobacco leaves and observed carefully. The problem, this kind of tobacco leaf is much better than the variety he used to grow.

Farmers naturally like all kinds of good seeds. The old man Yuhou carefully collected the tobacco seeds given by Shen Long, and planned to replace half of the tobacco fields with these seeds when the spring of next year came.

After all, it is a seed that has never been planted. The old man Yuhou must be more careful. It is not because he is timid, but because the poverty of the family makes the Sun family unable to bear any risks. Although this tobacco field is small, it provides for him and Shaoan. People’s shredded tobacco, and every time they go to the market, they can get it to the Shige Festival Commune for some living money, so that they can buy oil and salt.

If the new seeds can't be planted, then next year's money to buy oil and salt will have to find another way; but if they can be planted, the money for selling shredded tobacco may be able to rise a little bit, and the money will be loose at that time some.

Seeing that the old man Yuhou accepted it, Shen Long felt relieved for the time being. With the new brick kiln and new seeds, the family will feel better. The only headache now is probably his sister Sun Lanhua, right? That damned Wang Manyin didn't know where he went again.

Thinking of this top-notch relative, Shen Long felt dizzy for a while. The family affairs were easy to solve. Even without his own help, the old man Yuhou and Shao'an could take care of the family properly, but his sister's place was not so good. Easy to handle!
