This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

"candy!"

"It's paper candy!"

"Brother, I'll help you pull the weeds. Please give me the candy."

The surrounding attention was originally focused here. In addition to some mothers-in-law, there were naturally some small children. Seeing the candy Su Lin took out, his heart immediately moved. Looking at the wrapping paper of the candy, there was no one selling it in the town. It must be It was brought from the city, who wouldn't be hungry? !

Several boys rushed over, but before they arrived, Liang Lian grabbed him. He raised his chin and said, "Go, go, this is mine!"

He felt very lucky that he had reacted in time, otherwise the candy that belonged to him would have been snatched away by other boys.

The few people who came over looked pityful. When they saw Liang Lian put it directly into his pocket, they knew that they would definitely not have a share.

One of the boys with a shaved head said: "Brother, do you want someone to pull the weeds tomorrow? Just two candies."

"Me too."

"Brother, come find me, even a candy will do."

The boys rolled it up, and if it weren't for the fact that the candies couldn't be divided into half, I'd be afraid that half of them would be enough.

There is no way, now is the time when there is a shortage of food. It is not always possible to have enough food, let alone candy. Who is willing to spend money to buy candy for the children?

They were still candies brought from the city, and the layer of paper wrapping the candies was particularly rare for them. If they could have one, they would have to keep the paper carefully after the candies were gone.

"You don't need to." Liang Lian puffed up his chest, "I can help him."

The other children are not happy, how can they wrap up the circle at once?

Faced with their dissatisfaction, Liang Lian was somewhat proud, "Why not? He is my relative."

"relative?"

"Do you know this educated youth and Lian Zi?"

"I asked why Lian Zi came here. It turns out he was looking for this educated youth."

"But it doesn't look like they know each other."

At this time, Su Lin looked surprised, "Are you Liang Lian? Grandpa Liang's grandson?"

Liang Lian, who had been so proud just now, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He had agreed to come and take a look first, but why did he make him admit his kin on the spot?

However, before he could react, Su Lin hugged him and said, "I finally found you. If uncle and grandpa know about it, he will be very happy."

Look, what a touching scene of family recognition, which aroused the curiosity of a group of people and asked what was going on.

Su Lin looked at the weeds on the ground, "I still have to work, how can I have time to talk about this?"

The gossip-minded mothers-in-law said one after another: "You are not alone, we will do your work for you, you just have to say it."

Liang Lian was also very curious. He only heard about it from Uncle Liang Da and couldn't figure out the details. He bent over and started working just to let Su Lin talk quickly.

So Su Lin still refuses?

Of course I didn't refuse. I found a cool and shady place not far from everyone and told Liang Da what I had told him before.

What I told Liang Da was the simplified version.

Now it’s a complicated version, and it won’t be finished until work is over.

There was no way. Su Lin didn't know whether it was because his original body was too useless, or because he was too pampered and used to a salty life in the previous small worlds. He had prepared to endure hardship before coming here, but he didn't expect that this would be too hard. …

We must think of ways to do something as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter if the educated youth says it's good or not.

Because of this status, he could not go to surrounding towns to find factory work. Educated youth were originally built to go to the countryside, and even if factories were recruiting workers, they would not recruit educated youth who went to the countryside.

Therefore, the premise of what he can choose to do is to get the team to do it together.

Compared with Su Lin, who was a useless person, Liang Lian, who was a few years younger than him, was really a master at work. He could finish Su Lin's workload for a day in one morning. In other words, when Su Lin came back to work in the afternoon, No one would tell me if I was lazy the whole time.

I'm a little touched. It's really good to have a brother.

When it was time to finish work, Su Lin asked Liang Lian to go back first, and then returned to the educated youth house by himself.

Liang Lian felt a little regretful. He wanted to invite Su Lin to his home.

Grandpa's brother, Grandpa Su, is also his uncle. In this way, his family has a close relationship with the Su Lin family.

=

With a little joy in his heart, he will also have a brother in the future.

Wandering all the way home, he saw his mother cooking as soon as he entered the house. He took out a candy, peeled off the paper and stuffed the candy into his mother's mouth.

Liang Pan only felt the sweetness in his mouth and said with a smile: "Where did the candy come from? You can keep it for yourself."

"My brother gave it to me." Liang Lian simply said what Su Lin said, and then said with a smile: "Mom, I will also have a brother in the future."

Liang Pan was surprised when she heard that her father had told many things about the war period before his death. He had indeed been stationed in that place and met many people during the period, but he couldn't tell who they were.

However, the educated youth knew a lot about her father, and it was obviously true. She couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if your grandfather knew. He would be very happy to have people travel thousands of miles to see him."

Liang Lian nodded, now lowering his head and licking the candy wrapper.

It was so sweet, sweeter than any candy he had ever tasted before.

It’s not that there are no candies in his pocket. He is willing to give them to his mother, but he is reluctant to eat them himself. The remaining candies must be put in tin boxes and kept well.

"Why didn't you ask him to come over... Forget it, let's do it next time. We haven't prepared any food at home, so we can't receive guests." Liang Pan looked at the pickles and sweet potatoes on the table. He really couldn't entertain guests.

Everyone in the village knows that the mother and daughter work very hard. In fact, there are only two people in the family, and it is not difficult to support them by doing some light work.

It’s just that the old man was seriously ill a few years ago, and he asked the team leader for some medicine money, which was just paid off two months ago.

Now the family has almost no savings. Seeing that the son is so old, he will have to get married and have children in two or three years, and all these will cost money.

In addition, she has let her own boy down.

When the old man was still alive, he was sent to elementary school. Later, he had to drop out of school and go home to help. If she has grandchildren in the future, she hopes to support the children to study more.

So, she has to take advantage of her strength now and work as much as she can.

The pickled vegetables and sweet potatoes now are definitely not enough to entertain people. Liang Pan knew that her boy had always wanted a brother. Now he has one, so he naturally has to entertain him well, so he said: "Tomorrow I will find a way to change some food, and you can invite him to our house for dinner."

Liang Lian didn't disagree at all, and nodded.

The mother and son were chewing sweet potatoes and eating pickles. Not long after they finished eating, they heard shouts from outside the yard.

Liang Lian heard two shouts and his eyes lit up instantly: "It's Brother Su!"

He jumped up and rushed to open the door.

Liang Pan didn't follow him. She went back to the house and looked through the cabinet. There was a small jar in the cabinet with some brown sugar in it. There was not much brown sugar, only a thin layer left.

She didn't think much about it. She took a spoon to scrape out all the brown sugar inside and made a bowl of brown sugar water for the person who came.

When she came out with the brown sugar water, Su Lin had been invited into the house. Liang Lian stood beside him, a little at a loss: "Mom, look at Brother Su..."

Su Lin put two bags on his side and came to her house with the bags. These things were naturally gifts.

But who would bring so many things to give gifts?

Liang Pan couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"I brought you things from home, you must accept them, uncle told me at the time that I must make up for the original gifts when I find you." Su Lin smiled, "It's just that I came here alone, I can't take too many things, so I'll bring you some first."

In the memory of the original body, he was also very grateful to the aunt Liang in front of him.

Aunt Liang was a good person. When the original body saw his beloved with other men, he was in a trance. Once he passed by a stream and didn't know how he fell down. It was Aunt Liang who jumped down and saved him.

The original body was young and he would be fine after resting for two days.

On the contrary, Aunt Liang got sick, and because she didn't want to drag down the family, she didn't go to the hospital. The pneumonia was getting worse and worse, and her life in her later years could not be separated from coughing.

When the family conditions were better, she wanted to treat it but couldn't.

After Aunt Liang passed away, the original body looked at the heartbroken Liang Lian and couldn't help thinking that if he wasn't there, maybe Aunt Liang's family would have a much better life.

In addition to saving his life, the Liang family also helped him a lot, and he has been holding the Liang family back.

Even in old age, the descendants of the Liang family have an additional responsibility to take care of him from time to time.

The original body wanted to repay the most, in addition to his family, it was the Liang family.

"No, no, how can you ask you for so many things." Liang Pan waved his hands, how could he accept it? He didn't know what was in the bag, but one corner showed military green fabric, which looked like a piece of clothing.

A military uniform, this is not something that can be bought with money or tickets.

If a kid has a military uniform, how rare it would be?

Just a military uniform is a heavy gift.

"Auntie, if you don't accept it, wouldn't you not recognize me as a relative?" Su Lin looked sad, "I came to your house this time, and I also wanted to ask you to do me a favor."

"Work? I can finish your little work in two hours, and I will take care of your work in the future." Liang Lian patted his chest. Although he is still a teenager, he is still very strong when working.

It's not that I don't feel tired, but I'm used to being tired.

"That's not necessary." Su Lin shook his head and smiled, "I'm not used to it today, but I'll have to do it myself when I get used to it. How can I ask you to help me every day?"

Liang Lian didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

They were all brothers, so it's okay to help each other.

Su Lin explained his intention, "It's not very convenient to eat at the educated youth's place, can I bring food and share with you?"

It's unrealistic to cook by myself. I don't know when to buy pots and cans, and a group of people stay in the same room, so even if he wants to cook secretly, there is no place.

It's better to bring the food to the Liang family.

He was reluctant to share food with others, but he didn't have anything to be reluctant to share with the Liang family.

"Of course no problem." Liang Pan agreed.

In fact, at the beginning, it was not that there were no educated youths who shared meals with the villagers. Some educated youths even didn't want to live in the educated youths' house, so they paid rent to some people who had vacant rooms at home.

However, later on, there were some conflicts, and they were left unresolved.

Liang Pan didn't just let Su Lin go because he was the child of his father's friend. After a short time together, she felt that Su Lin's eyes were sincere and he didn't seem like a bad person.

Even if she was wrong, she didn't worry.

She wasn't a person who would swallow her anger, otherwise she wouldn't have raised her son alone. As a widow with a son, she was the only one who knew the hardships she had. If she wasn't a little bit more aggressive, she would have been bullied by some people.

The brown sugar water wasn't that hot, so Liang Pan asked him to moisten his mouth first and asked, "Have you eaten lunch? Or would your aunt heat up some food for you?"

"I have."

There were some conflicts when eating with other educated youth.

The new educated youth all brought food with them. They might not last long, but they could still give it out now.

But they could only give out food. The vegetables were all grown by the old educated youth themselves. Who would be willing to give them out to others for free?

He would not say it too bluntly, but he would also say some sarcastic words.

It was not that he could not exchange money, but Su Lin felt that it was unnecessary. There would be a next time after this time, and it was meaningless to quarrel.

It would be better to stay with the Liang family.

In fact, when Su Lin mentioned this matter, he was quite thick-skinned. It was impossible to divide the food clearly when sharing the food.

But this also made him look close, and he was not here to take advantage.

After the chat, Su Lin went back to bring the food. Liang Lian had a rare brother, and he didn't want to separate, so he naturally followed.

As soon as they left, Liang Pan began to look at the things Su Lin brought.

He was sincere, and his family couldn't let him down. He planned to calculate how much these things were worth and return them later.

As soon as he opened it, he was surprised by what was inside.

A set of military uniforms for spring and autumn, two small jars, one of which was filled with brown sugar, the other with white lard, and some items that looked like they couldn't be bought in town.

This was too expensive.

Liang Pan thought about what to prepare for the evening. It was Su Lin's first time to eat at their house, so he naturally had to prepare some good dishes. Fresh meat was definitely out of the question.

Even if he had money and tickets, he couldn't buy it. He had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat, and whether he could get it depended on luck.

After thinking about it, Liang Pan decided to roll some white flour to make noodles, put two eggs in it, and steam more sweet potatoes. The conditions at home couldn't make Su Lin eat well, but it was no problem to eat enough.

In this way, Su Lin and the Liang family teamed up, and the relationship between the two families spread throughout the brigade in two days.

Farmers' life didn't have so many entertainments, and gossip was one of them.

"I didn't expect Uncle Qi You to have sworn brothers in the city. I remember that when he retired from the army that year, he also corresponded with people outside from time to time, but after so many years, there has been no news."

"What a coincidence, we just happened to meet each other."

"It's not a coincidence. He found a connection and came to our place as an educated youth."

"Then the situation at Su Zhiqing's home should be pretty good, right?"

"I don't know whether it's good or not, but the first time he went to Lianzi's house, he brought a lot of bags and small bags. I heard that he also gave Lianzi a military uniform."

"Military uniform? Lianzi, that kid, must be very happy?"

Of course, he was so happy that his mouth corners were almost grinning to his ears.

If the weather wasn't suitable for wearing it now, he wanted to wear it out that day.

In addition to the military uniform, Brother Su was very kind to him. He first gave him candy and then fried dough twists. Anyway, he never lacked snacks when he was with him.

Liang Lianye was not only good at eating, he also helped Brother Su a lot in the past few days.

Brother Su was fine in other aspects, but he was too weak. Even children in the village could do the work, but Brother Su was out of breath when he did it, and his whole body ached the next day.

He had wanted to accompany Brother Su to the town to send a telegram, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk, so he went to the town to report his safety to Brother Su's family.

That day, Su Lin said to the young man in front of him: "Can you change your job tomorrow and take a few hours to accompany me to the foot of the mountain."

"Okay." Liang Lian agreed immediately without asking why.

Su Lin looked at Liang Lian so straightforward, and suddenly felt like a bad friend. Before he came, Liang Lian was still a good young man who was striving for progress. After he came, Liang Lian, who used to not ask for leave unless he could not get up, had already been bad several times, and now he had to ask for leave again.

He is really a "bad" brother.

However, Su Lin also had a reason to take him with him.

The next day, with the help of Liang Lian, he finished the work early, and Su Lin took him to the foot of the mountain.

"Brother, why are you here?" Liang Lian called him 'brother' directly. There was no other way. The biscuits he gave were so fragrant. This brother was really good.

"There are only some cave dwellings here. There is nothing to see. Our brigade is not close to the mountains. Otherwise, we can go hunting in the mountains. If the brigade next door is lucky, we can encounter a lot of prey in the mountains."

"I just came to see the cave dwellings." Su Lin looked ahead.

Why didn't he go to the Fula Brigade? He gave Wang Nuo an idea. He could completely rely on this line to make his life in the countryside better. He came to the Liangjia Brigade because there were people in this village who were good to the original body, and then there were these cave dwellings.

These cave dwellings have been abandoned for a long time. A hundred years ago, a big landlord built many cave dwellings on this land. He made a living by burning bricks and accumulated a lot of property.

Later, there was no peace. The big landlord's family had no news, and all the cave dwellings were sealed.

Every household in Liangjia Brigade moved here later. They didn't know how to burn kilns, and no one cared about this place. The cave dwellings had been abandoned for many years.

When the original body was middle-aged, a very promising child appeared in the village. After graduating from college, he returned to the village and thought of this cave dwelling. Relying on the skills he learned from outside, he led the villagers to burn kilns.

Unfortunately, the skills were not very good. After repeated attempts for a long time, it ended in failure. The child did not give up and started other businesses. Although he did not make the village rich, his living conditions were not too bad.

"Brother, what's so interesting about cave dwellings?" Liang Lian didn't quite understand. It was just a hobby for some younger children. It was quite interesting for a group of people to hide and seek here. As they got older, they rarely ran here.

Su Lin walked to the nearest cave dwelling and walked around twice.

Although these cave dwellings have been abandoned for a long time, since they can be used more than ten years later, they can definitely be used now. All they need to do is clean them up. "When Grandpa Liang was chatting with his uncle in the past, he mentioned these cave dwellings and said that if they could know The firing method will not be wasted, and my uncle also made an agreement with him, saying that he would help find a firing method. "

"Ah?" Liang Lian didn't understand very well. Has Grandpa ever thought about burning a kiln?

There should be, maybe he had heard it before but didn't pay attention to it, "It must be difficult to burn a kiln. I heard old people say that some people did it out of curiosity, but it didn't work well at all."

"It's difficult." Su Lin said, "If it wasn't difficult, wouldn't everyone be able to burn it?"

"Yes."

"But it's not that difficult if you know the secret of firing a kiln." Su Lin patted the inner wall of the cave and smiled: "It just so happened that my uncle really found some methods and taught me them all. "

That's really not the case.

Thanks to the fact that I read a lot of books in my previous life, including some very miscellaneous books, including methods for firing kilns.

I remember the steps in my head, but never do them.

So Su Lin had no intention of spreading the word widely. No matter how much he said it, it would be better to take out something that would have weight.

Liang Lian's eyes widened and he couldn't recover for a moment.

Can I burn a kiln? Isn’t this too awesome? !

Think about it, I am a high school student, so I must be the smartest among all high school students. Otherwise, why wouldn’t other educated youths know about it?

Liang Lian was full of curiosity, "Brother, what do you know how to bake? Do you bake bricks?"

Su Lin shook his head, "Let's not bake bricks first, let's bake some pottery for your family."

The fired pottery can be used to pickle vegetables, boil water for making soup, and you can also make a few smaller ones as bowls.

These things are sold in supply and marketing cooperatives, and you can buy them if you have money and tickets.

But the only thing the Liang family lacked was money and tickets. The few bowls and utensils they had at home were all missing. If you weren't careful, you might get a scratch on your mouth.

The first batch of things is naturally cheaper for my family.

The more Liang Lian listened, the more excited he became. He wanted to come immediately. He couldn't wait to say: "Then what should we prepare? Do we need to spend money?"

He has 100% trust in his brother. If he is really short of money, he will shamelessly borrow it from the brigade even if he cannot get it.

"You don't have to worry about money. The raw materials are all ready. Just help." Su Lin looked at a certain hillside. Bricks could be made here, which meant that there was soil suitable for making bricks nearby.

The raw materials for firing bricks and firing ceramics are basically the same, and they will undergo some processing later, so there won’t be much money required.

But the process will be very cumbersome. If they work all day, they may not be able to spare time to burn the kiln.

Therefore, it was necessary for him and Liang Lian to take some time off from the captain.

It's actually not difficult to ask for leave. As long as you don't care about your work points, you can lie at home all day without anyone saying anything, but you won't be able to get food from the brigade next year.

This kind of lazy life is suitable for people who have food at home. Neither Liang Lian nor Su Lin is a person who has food at home. After the captain heard this, he did not agree at first. In the end, he said that the two of them had to work for half a day. Fake.

For this reason, many people in the brigade are discussing.

I feel that this new educated youth has led Liang Lian astray.

Look at the past, Liang Lian was unwilling to do eight-point work, and insisted on doing full-mark work. Apart from Liang Lian, there was no other minor in the brigade who could get full marks.

But what about when Su Lin comes?

Not only did Liang Lian fail to work well, he actually asked for leave now. He couldn't see anyone when he was free, and he didn't know what he was doing.

If this continues, will the two of them still be able to get enough food next year?

It was definitely Su Zhiqing who led Liang Lian into trouble!
