To set up a factory, you need a factory building. Even if it doesn't need to be very good, you still have to build a shed. When winter comes, it will start to snow. You can't just put the fired bricks on top of each other in the snow.

Building a shed requires other materials besides bricks, and these materials can be replaced with bricks.

When villagers are recruited as workers, their monthly wages can be exchanged for bricks.

Bricks are just as good a thing to them.

They are not like Grandma Bai to continue to rebuild the house, but if they have bricks on hand, they are willing to renovate the old house. After all, the best houses in the entire brigade are earth and tile houses. Who doesn’t want to live in brick and tile houses in their lifetime? In the room?

More importantly, after bricks are distributed to these people, if they want to buy or sell, it is not impossible for them. If someone wants to build a house and does not have enough bricks, they can buy them from others who have bricks, or they can barter for items. It all depends on They operate it themselves.

Even the purchase was a secret transaction. Su Lin didn't want to be caught. However, this kind of private transaction was not impossible. One hand paid the money and the other hand delivered the goods, so no one could get a handle on it.

Therefore, in Su Lin's plan, bricks can be used as money in the early stage.

As long as the factory procedures are approved, they can produce and sell at the same time, and the money can be returned to their hands. It is just a little more difficult in the early stage, but it is not impossible to handle it.

There may be some risks, but to be confident, since they have the skills, the manpower, and the support of the entire team, it will really be a disaster if they can't run it.

In particular, bricks are not slow-moving goods and it is not difficult to sell them.

At least, it's not difficult for Su Lin.

Captain Liang did not make a decision right away. He thought for a long time and finally called everyone in the brigade to discuss opening a brick factory with them.

It was good to set up a factory in the team, so that family members could still work in the team, which was no better than getting a job in the town. Moreover, the factory also recruited workers, and Su Zhiqing could personally guide them.

Once you learn a good skill, you won’t have to worry about not having enough to eat in the future.

Such a good thing, of course everyone wants to sign up.

However, after listening to what Captain Liang said, not many people raised their hands to sign up.

"No wages for the first half of the year?"

"If you don't pay wages and the team doesn't give you work points, wouldn't it mean that half a year of work was in vain?"

"What the captain means is that he is not sure whether this factory can continue to operate?"

At this time, many people began to retreat.

If it really doesn’t work, wouldn’t it mean that we have been busy for half a year? It would be fine if this was a good harvest year, and there would be no need to worry about delays if there were less laborers in the family. But now the whole family may not be able to fill their stomachs, and one laborer is allocated, so what will the family eat?

"There's no rush on this matter. I'll give you three days to think about it carefully." Captain Liang is not worried about the selection. Anyway, the number of workers in the first batch will not be too many. Even if some people hesitate, some people can be caught. This opportunity.

His words sounded a bit serious, but he actually still had some confidence in Su Zhiqing.

It's just that everything is not 100% sure. He must leave some room for this matter. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Now he is too full. If something unexpected happens, then Su Zhiqing Will bear a lot of infamy.

Su Zhiqing was so generous and willing to teach such precious skills to other people in the team, so he naturally had to be grateful and try his best to clear other obstacles for him.

Maybe these are nothing, but he is doing his best.

Captain Liang gave the villagers three days, but he was not busy during these three days. He ran to the town early in the morning and did not come back until late at night.

When he came back, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak. You didn't need to think about it to know that his trip was a bit difficult.

But even though he was tired, he still went out early the next day, stayed outside for a whole day, and ran three or four times in a row. He was very tired, but the smile appeared on his face from time to time. , obviously this matter should be almost done.

As for Party Secretary Huang, people came to sign up one after another.

On this day, Fan Shan walked into the office hut and wanted to sign up.

Party Secretary Huang looked at him and frowned at first, "You want to join the brick-burning factory? You must know that the deadline for joining is half a year. Even if the factory cannot develop, it will still take half a year. In this way, you will have to make no money for at least half a year. to work points.”

Fan Shan nodded and said seriously: "I have already thought about it. I have saved a lot of food, which is enough for half a year's expenses. I have also discussed with Lulu and I will try it for half a year. If it doesn't work, I will come back and earn work points."

Party Secretary Huang was satisfied, but nothing showed on his face.

To be honest, when his daughter said she wanted to talk to Fan Zhiqing about a partner, his first reaction was to disagree. Fan Zhiqing had no choice. Zhou Zhengsi seemed to be a polite person. Although he was not the best in the team, That, but it’s really thoughtful.

Everything is good and everything matches, but Fan Zhiqing is not from their brigade, let alone from their provincial capital. If he can't see the hope of going back now, it doesn't mean that he won't be able to go back in the future.

If he wants to get married and return to the city, Party Secretary Huang doesn't think his daughter will definitely go with him. Even if Fan Zhiqing has a good character, his family may not be satisfied with having a daughter-in-law from the countryside.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't help but think that Lulu just fell in love with her.

After all the hard talk, it didn't make sense in the end, so they could only let the two of them interact.

However, after waiting and watching during this period, Party Secretary Huang is quite satisfied with Fan Shan himself. He is willing to endure hardships and has the ability to lead. Now he knows how to seize opportunities.

Party Secretary Huang and Captain Liang had discussed it and both were very sure about the factory.

But he did not disclose this matter to Fan Shan, let alone say a word to his family. Fan Shan was able to participate without knowing anything, and he had some courage and some insight.

He said that there is no need to hesitate at all for such a good thing, and one should directly participate in it.

It doesn't matter even if the factory doesn't continue to operate in the end, it's just a waste of half a year. If he really can't eat because he hasn't earned work points for half a year, is it possible that the team can really watch him starve to death?

The worst thing is, I will do more work to make up for it in the future.

If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to come in next time you see the factory operating.

Fan Shan was able to seize this opportunity because of his ability, and he was particularly satisfied that he could discuss it with Lulu before making a decision.

Even though the girl at home couldn't give her any advice, Fan Shan's attitude made him feel that he cared about Lulu. How could he be dissatisfied as a parent?

"Okay, I'll put your name down." Party Secretary Huang nodded, "But there will only be ten people in the factory at the beginning. Whether you can get in or not depends on your ability."

With an unstoppable smile in his eyes, Fan Shan thanked him.

Although the future father-in-law didn’t give any warning, if this was really not a good thing, how could the future father-in-law not stop him?

The reason why he agreed so readily is that the success rate of this matter must be higher than what Captain Liang said.

Fan Shan was not the only one in the Liang family brigade. People who had high hopes for the factory signed up one after another. At last count, there were thirteen people in total.

Except for one of the team's recognized slackers, the other twelve were all admitted to the brick-burning factory.

"Are we also workers in the factory from now on?"

"Can't wait to get to work."

"My grandpa told me that I must help Su Zhiqing work hard and try to open the factory. When I have a job in the future, I can look after my wife better."

"Hey, how old are you now that you already want a wife?"

The half-grown boy raised his chin and retorted, "Don't you want to?"

The retaliated young man held it in for a long time before he could say one word: "...think."

Instantly, everyone present laughed.

Among the twelve people who came, they were all young people.

Some have no family burdens and support venturing out, while others are born with a drive. In the past, they had no choice but to stay in the fields and plant crops like their ancestors had done for generations.

But now there is a choice before them, and their first reaction is to seize it. Even if the outcome may fail, they will not regret it.

In this way, twelve young people and Su Lin stood in front of the cave dwelling, with a light of expectation in everyone's eyes, even though there was nothing in the factory at this time, not even a shed, except for the ready-made cave dwelling. Besides, they are the only group of motivated workers left.

The conditions at the beginning were indeed very poor, and the work was not easy.

Su Lin was divided into three teams in advance. He, Lian Zi, and Zheng Jun were each responsible for four people, turning them into assembly line steps and assigning tasks to each person.

With so many people working together, the efficiency is extremely high. As you watch, more and more embryos are drying on the wooden boards.

While Su Lin was busy here, there were people in the city thousands of miles away who were missing him.

Zou Qi wiped away her tears, feeling suffocated.

She and Su Lin got along well, firstly because Su Lin was really kind to her, and secondly because their family backgrounds were somewhat similar and they had a common language.

When Zou Qi thought about it, Su Lin's stepmother was just pretending to be a good person. Otherwise, how could she have left her own daughter in the city and sent her remarried husband's son to the countryside?

However, sometimes she envied Su Juaner for having such a strong mother. Unlike her mother, who worked and earned money just like her stepfather, and earned no less than her stepfather every month, but she was so suppressed by that family that even her daughter Don't even care.

Nowadays, the issue of sending educated youths to the countryside is a big deal, and people are already mobilizing at the door. Naturally, the stepfather is not willing to let his precious daughter go to the countryside, and even asked her mother to give up her job quota.

However, her mother actually agreed to such an outrageous thing. She had not thought about her at all. What would she do if her stepfather's daughter took over the job?

If she is mobilized again, should she be the one to go to the countryside?

"Forget it, instead of staying here and holding your breath, it's better to go to the countryside." Zou Qi wiped the tears on her face. Her mother couldn't protect her at all, and she never thought about protecting her. In this case, she might as well go to the countryside as soon as possible. , it's all a matter of time anyway, if she takes the initiative, she can get some benefits from that family.

Zou Qi is not a person who hesitates. He takes action when he decides.

She thought of Su Lin now. Su Lin had been in the countryside for such a long time. She could ask him about his life after going to the countryside and what he needed to pay attention to.

She regretted not asking Su Juan'er for her address last time. This time she didn't want to go to Su's house, but went to the textile factory where Su Juan'er worked.

I'm looking for someone at the gate. The old man guarding the gate is not willing to go in and look for me: "There are so many workers in the factory and you don't know what kind of work they do. How can I find someone? Work is about to end. Just wait outside." ”

What else could Zou Qi do? He could only wait.

Looking at the workers coming out of the factory, they looked somewhat envious. If her mother was willing to give up her job, she would now be a worker with an iron rice bowl.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but envy Su Juaner.

She and Su Juaner were obviously so similar, but yet so different. Su Juaner lived exactly how she wanted to be.

At this moment, Zou Qi saw the person he was looking for in the crowd. As soon as he walked over, he noticed something was wrong.

Su Juaner looked embarrassed at this time, biting her lower lip and not willing to let go.

A tall female worker next to her said: "Just help me get off work. You also know the situation of my family. The children are still waiting for me to come home to take care of them."

Su Juaner was not too happy, but she didn't know how to refuse, "But... I've done it for you several times this month."

"Just help me this time." The tall female worker raised a finger. She didn't expect that she had said this more than once, but so what? After finally catching a soft bun, naturally he couldn't let it go, "You don't want my son to cry and fuss at home, that's so pitiful."

Being able to leave her children at home to work is obviously because there is someone at home to take care of the children. Even if she works overtime, it will not affect her. It is nothing more than an excuse to let others do the work for her, and she can earn overtime pay.

Su Juaner lowered her head.

Compared with the past, there have been some changes. In the past, she would have agreed to the other party's first 'request'.

Now that she has made some progress, at least she can bite her lip and refuse to agree.

However, it is useless to meet a shameless person at this time.

The tall female worker grinned and said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise. The factory has left food for the night shift workers, so I won't take my share back with me. I'll give it to you as a gift."

Look, it sounds like she actually cares about Su Juaner.

After saying that, without waiting for Su Juaner's reply, she turned around and wanted to leave.

As a result, as soon as she turned around, she bumped into the person in front of her. She asked strangely: "Who are you?"

Zou Qi rolled her eyes at her, "She promised to work overtime for you? How are the overtime wages calculated? Do you still want her to ask you to work overtime for nothing while you just sit and wait to get paid?"

"Who are you? Who asked you to meddle in other people's business?" The tall female worker was unhappy. Of course, the overtime wages should go to him and her. The dinner in the factory was nothing more than soup and water, so just give in.

But how can the money be released?

Zou Qi sneered: "Why can't I take care of it? You are exploiting the interests of others and enslaving others to make money for you. I would like to ask the factory director if he knows there are employees with such thoughts in his factory."

The tall female worker's face instantly turned pale, and she waved her hands: "No, no, no, how dare I."

She didn't expect it to be so serious. If she really wanted to be sued to the factory director, she didn't know if she could keep her job.

"If you know you don't dare, just go and work overtime. Don't think about forcing others in the future." Zou Qi said harshly, frightening the person so much that he turned around and ran away. When the person left, he snorted to Su Juaner: "You shouldn't If you indulge this kind of person, the first time will be the second time, you should be tougher."

Su Juaner was surprised. She didn't expect that such a few words could scare people away.

Zou Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at her, but at the same time he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. She was so tough that one person could make the other person speechless.

But that's because if she can't stand up herself and no one helps her, she might be bullied to death.

Su Juaner was different. Her silly temperament was born out of her family's pampering. It was different from her when someone protected her.

Her and Su Juaner's families are very similar, but there is no way to compare them.

She can't be as silly and sweet as Su Juan'er. She has to be more selfish and tougher. She has to think about herself before doing anything, so that life will not be so difficult.

She would rather be selfish than be bullied.

"Sister, thank you."

Zou Qi had a sullen face and had no intention of chatting with her. He said confidently: "Give me Su Lin's address. I have something to do with him."

Su Juaner didn't hesitate and gave it directly.

When he was about to say something, Zou Qi turned around and left without saying a word.

Looking at the departing figure in front of her, Su Juaner shrugged her shoulders and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Why haven't you said your rejection yet?

I obviously repeated it several times at home and practiced it countless times, but why couldn't I just say it just now?

Su Juaner clenched her fists and cheered herself up: "Comrade Su Juaner, you can do it! Look at how powerful Comrade Zou is. Why can't you, who is also a lesbian? You can definitely do it!"

He whispered something that only he could hear.

Cheering herself up over and over again, she firmly believed that she would be able to refuse firmly the next time.

Even if you really don’t know how to say it, you can still bring out what Comrade Zou just said and frighten the other person into turning around and running away.

Suddenly, Su Juaner laughed out loud.

Just the pictures in her mind make her happy. When she learns to truly refuse unreasonable requests, she will definitely be even happier than she is now.

Really... I have some expectations.

She couldn't wait to share it with her family.

The procedures for opening the factory have been completed, but there is still one more troublesome thing. Captain Liang took out the cigarette case from his pocket. This is a pack of good cigarettes. When he hires people to do errands in the town, he will pass one over. He still does it now. There are three left.

He couldn't bear to smoke such a good cigarette on weekdays. He hesitated for a while and did not smoke. Instead, he asked someone next to him for a homemade dry cigarette. "The special case allows us to open a factory, but it does not mention a series of conveniences. We have to use our own technology." We have to find a way to sell it ourselves.”

It was because nothing was provided that the factory could be set up so quickly.

There are pros and cons.

"If you want to sell bricks, the fastest way is to cooperate with a supply and marketing cooperative." Huang Zhishu said.

Captain Liang scratched his head, "I haven't dealt with them on weekdays, and I don't know if they are willing to deal with us."

The supply and marketing cooperative has its own way of purchasing goods, and may not be willing to temporarily change the manufacturer of the goods.

If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't work, then they can only find some retail buyers, which will be more troublesome, and it will be difficult to sell the inventory quickly.

"Let me think about it, see if there is anyone who can get in touch with the supply and marketing cooperative." Captain Liang had a headache. No one in their village had a relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative, but maybe relatives of relatives could know them.

While he was counting one by one, Su Lin, with mud on his hands, came over, "I have a candidate here, maybe I can get in touch with him."
