"Huo Jue, are you embarrassed?"
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Huo Jue. Emotions were surging in Huo Jue's eyes. Looking at Wen Xia Nuan at this moment, he almost couldn't control the heat in his heart and held her hand.
However, the next second, Wen Xia Nuan had already run onto the ox cart and waved at him from it.
Huo Jue also walked towards her quickly.
The ox cart moved slowly forward. Wen Xia Nuan felt drowsy as it swayed. When they arrived at the village, she yawned and then looked at Huo Jue.
"arrive?"
Huo Jue nodded, and Wen Xia Nuan's expression fell on him: "Let's get off the car."
The captain was already waiting anxiously. When he heard that Wen Xia Nuan and Huo Jue had returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward.
"Huo Jue!"
The captain's voice came, and Wen Xia Nuan looked in the direction of the voice: "It's the captain."
He was panting, and Wen Xia Nuan also looked at the head of the team. "Why did you come here in such a hurry? I told Huo Jue that I would come to find you as soon as I got off the ox cart!"
"Huo Jue, how is this going?"
Huo Jue's expressionless face turned serious: "This matter has been resolved."
A glimmer of hope quickly rose in the captain's eyes. He looked at Huo Jue, not daring to rush him. Instead, he slowly asked, "What's going on?"
Huo Jue was silent for a moment, then looked at the captain and said, "Don't worry, I have completed all the tasks you assigned to me!"
He said it seriously, and the captain asked urgently, "Is it five cents a brick?"
Huo Jue smiled and said, "Captain, the price is higher than this!"
When he heard this, he couldn't help but cover his chest and said with a concerned expression: "Don't hide it from me, just tell me quickly, how much is it?"
It was rare for Wen Xia Nuan to see Huo Jue so leisurely and elegant, so she stood aside and didn't say anything.
Huo Jue looked at him with a smile and said, "One dime a piece."
There was seriousness in his voice. Wen Xia Nuan looked at the captain and exclaimed, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Huo Jue, you are not kidding me, right?"
Wen Xia Nuan didn't wait for Huo Jue to speak, "Captain, this price is real and I'm not kidding you."
She spoke seriously, and now looking at Huo Jue, her voice full of seriousness: "Huo Jue spent a long time to negotiate this price!"
The captain listened to Wen Xia Nuan's words and felt a certain anticipation in his heart. He nodded, his eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan and said, "That's right, Wen Zhiqing, this matter is really thanks to you two."
When Wen Xia Nuan heard this, she didn't dare to take credit for it. With a smile in her eyes, she said, "This isn't my credit, Captain. If you want to thank someone, just tell Huo Jue. This is all his credit!"
The captain simply waved his hand and said to the two men, "Don't be modest, both of you. Come with me to the brick kiln factory first!"
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes were filled with curiosity, and the captain at this moment also urged: "Let's go!"
The brick kiln was still producing bricks in full swing. When Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan appeared in everyone's sight, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the team leader.
"Fellow villagers, please stop what you are doing for a moment."
The captain's voice came, and the villagers all turned to him and asked, "Captain, what news do you have to announce?"
"Yeah, yeah, what's wrong with that?"
His smiling eyes fell on everyone, and he quickly said, "Fellow villagers, I know you may all be worried about the effectiveness of this special event."
"I came here this time to tell you a good news. The bricks from our brick kiln have been purchased!"
"And the price is not cheap, 10 cents a brick."
"Let's all work hard and try to make bricks within the designated time!"
The captain's words were like adding a spoonful of water into a frying pan, and it instantly began to boil.
Everyone looked at each other, and some of them didn't quite believe it.
"Captain, are you trying to fool us? Where did you get the price of one cent a brick from?"
"You must not disbelieve this. We really have to thank Wen Zhiqing very much!"
Wen Xia Nuan was pushed out by the captain. She waved her hand embarrassedly: "This has nothing to do with me. I just simply did what I should do."
The captain didn't think so. He explained the whole story and then, looking at Wen Xia Nuan, he said with a smile, "Wen Zhiqing's action has brought great opportunities to our village."
"Everyone should respect Wen Zhiqing from now on, and don't say anything about her!"
Everyone looked at each other, and at this moment they finally understood what the captain said.
"Captain, we got it!"
Wen Xia Nuan didn't want to stay any longer at this time. Her eyes swept across the captain and Huo Jue.
Huo Jue's hand was pulled by Wen Xia Nuan. When she saw him come to his senses and look at her, she said, "Should we go back?"
Wen Xia Nuan's voice was filled with concern, and Huo Jue's eyes also fell on her: "Okay."
He said something to Wen Zhiqing, and the emotion in his eyes also fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, thank you for this time."
Wen Xia Nuan smiled and waved her hand, saying, "You fought for this all on your own, why are you asking me?"
She sighed: "You are just too polite, I am embarrassed to say anything!"
As Wen Xia Nuan's voice continued to come, Huo Jue curled his lips: "My own efforts are efforts, but I also know that your efforts are indispensable."
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at Huo Jue blankly. When she heard these words, she suddenly felt helpless. "Huo Jue, let's just consider this as the effort of both of us. Is that okay with you?"
"Can."
Huo Jue nodded, the smile in the depths of his eyes did not seem fake. He knew that Wen Xia was a kind person, but deep down he always felt lonely.
He felt that he was still not worthy of Wen Xia Nuan at this moment.
Huo Jue was thinking unconsciously, but he didn't notice that someone was walking towards him, and his voice was full of sarcasm.
"Huo Jue, now that you see your aunt, you don't even know how to say hello, right?"
He paused, his eyes falling on Li Mei's harsh face. Huo Jue felt that there was no need for him to speak.
