When Chen Ce heard this, he smiled but did not answer. Instead, he asked Wen Xia Nuan curiously, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Wen Xia Nuan smiled and said, "Not yet, but if this matter in the village is resolved, there will indeed be something I need to trouble you with."
Chen Ce was inexplicably curious. He looked at Wen Xia Nuan and recalled the courage of the previous captain. He didn't look like a person with poor ability.
He couldn't help but feel curious: "Little comrade, what do you want me to do?"
Wen Xia Nuan first glanced at Huo Jue, then said, "This is what happened. Our village is planning to restart the brick kiln factory. If there's anyone in town who needs it, could you please help connect them?"
"Of course, this matter has not been implemented yet. I just mentioned it casually."
Wen Xia Nuan's way of taking advantage of every opportunity made Huo Jue unable to help but look at her a few times.
Chen Ce thought it was a big deal, so when he heard this, he smiled and said, "If I can help, I'm willing to help you. How about this, when your village brick kiln opens, you can show me the finished products. If the quality is good, I'm willing to help you."
Wen Xia Nuan heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the man standing in front of her, and hurriedly thanked him, "Then it's settled."
Huo Jue also bowed to Chen Ce: "Thank you very much."
"My name is Chen Ce. I live at the entrance of Fenghuangtang Lane in town. The first blue brick house you see when you walk into that lane is my home. You can find me there if you need anything in the future."
Chen Ce glanced at Huo Jue. He wasn't good at speaking, but the woman beside him was quite articulate. "What are your names?"
"My name is Wen Xia Nuan, and his name is Huo Jue!"
Wen Xia Nuan's voice came, and Chen Ce nodded, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Huo Jue and said, "Then Huo Xiao is your biological brother?"
"right."
Huo Jue responded quickly, and Chen Ce curled his lips: "None of your two brothers can compare to you."
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned. Huo Jue also looked towards Chen Ce. Chen Ce smiled and waved at the two of them. "Okay, I still have some things to deal with back in town. I'll say goodbye to you first."
Chen Ce's figure gradually walked away.
Wen Xia Nuan was excited. She looked at Huo Jue and smiled, "Did you hear that? As long as the quality of the bricks can be improved, then sales won't be a problem."
Huo Jue's heart was filled with excitement, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, which was always that of a shepherd. "This is all thanks to your help, Wen Zhiqing. I didn't expect you to be so capable."
Wen Xia Nuan waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Huo Jue, you have your own reasons. Didn't you see that he was staring at you the whole time? He was trying to figure out whether you were being honest or not."
"And he also said you're better than both of your brothers."
Wen Xia Nuan reached out and patted his shoulder: "I said that gold will always shine."
Huo Jue's heart is now filled with concern, and he can't wait to go to the Wang family to have a good talk.
Wen Xia Nuan also noticed his urgency, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be anxious now, things have to be done step by step."
Just as he finished speaking, someone came running over in a hurry from the side of the road. Wen Xia Nuan recognized the person in front of him as Uncle Li who was patrolling the river today.
"Uncle Li, what's going on?"
Old Li wiped the rain from his face and looked at Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan, saying quickly, "Wen Zhiqing, something's happened! The water in the river has indeed overflowed. Fortunately, we reinforced the river with sacks!"
"Although a few sacks were washed down, they didn't make it into the fields. I came to the team leader to ask the villagers to reinforce them."
Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan looked at each other and hurriedly walked towards the river.
"Uncle Li, go inform the team leader. I'll take Wen Zhiqing over to help."
Huo Jue waved to Uncle Li, and Wen Xia Nuan did not dare to show any sign of delay.
There were already many villagers who had spontaneously organized themselves to fill sacks on the river, and Wen Xia Nuan and Huo Jue soon joined the group.
"I don't know when this rain will stop. Is there a crack in the sky?"
While filling the sack, Chen Yanfang couldn't help but nag.
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Chen Yanfang. She remembered that the barrage said that the rain lasted for more than half a month before stopping.
Hearing this, he advised, "Let's just work hard. As for the rain, it's beyond our control."
Chen Yanfang couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even her worries were swept away: "Wen Zhiqing, I just said it casually, you don't need to take it so seriously."
She waved her hand, looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "But I hope the rain stops soon, otherwise the crops in our fields will be drowned."
Wen Xia Nuan curled her lips and said, "We have ways to deal with the crops in the fields. I just hope the water in the river doesn't overflow again."
The sacks that had been scattered across the river were now blocked again. Wen Xia Nuan wiped the rain from her forehead and looked at Chen Yanfang. "Once this is settled, we'll have to deal with other things."
"Wen Zhiqing, have the village cadres assigned you another task?"
Chen Yanfang looked at her curiously. Wen Xia Nuan smiled and said, "You're incredibly smart, but nothing can be hidden from you."
Chen Yanfang immediately became excited after hearing this: "Wen Zhiqing, then you must tell me what's going on. Maybe I can help."
She watched curiously when she heard Wen Xia Nuan say, "It's about the brick kiln in the village. Doesn't the team leader want to reopen the kiln to generate some benefits for our team?"
Chen Yanfang was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly and said, "Didn't someone get burned to death before?"
Her voice suddenly rose, and then she covered her mouth. Fortunately, it was raining heavily at the moment, and no one around was paying attention to them. Chen Yanfang swallowed her saliva and lowered her voice, "Captain, aren't you afraid that the people from Old Wang's family will come and make trouble by doing this?"
“That’s the crux of the matter.”
Chen Yanfang looked at Wen Xia Nuan curiously, and heard her say, "Didn't the captain ask Huo Jue to handle it?"
"Brother Jue?"
When Chen Yanfang heard this, she muttered, "Our captain is really good at ordering people around. Does Brother Jue agree too?"
Wen Xia Nuan nodded: "You know what Huo Jue's situation is right now. He's been waiting for something to happen. Now that he heard it was the captain's order, he's working even harder."
