Chapter 255: Do you want to come up and wait for a while [Three more chapters]

In a blink of an eye, the rumbling sound of the tractor was getting closer and louder. After turning a corner, the tractor slowly stopped on the dirt road in front of the courtyard gate.

Chen Xiangcuo walked forward and looked up at the man, her bright eyes: "Are you going to buy red bricks?"

"Um."

Zhou Dongmeng stood in the car hood and removed the fender, then came to her, squatted down, put his hands on his knees, and smiled, "Do you want to come up for a while?"

Chen Xiang glanced at the huge thing in front of her and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Then she frowned: "But I can't go up, it's too high..."

One of the wheels is as high as her waist.

“It’s not that simple.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Dong stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed her waist, then with a little strength he lifted Chen Xiang up and put her in the car pocket.

Chen Xiang helped him stand steadily, turned her head and looked around, obviously very excited: "It's true that the higher you stand, the farther you can see. I can even see the small ditch over there."

She raised her finger to show him.

Zhou Dongmeng looked in the direction she pointed, curled his lips and smiled, wanting to raise his hand to rub his wife's head, but when he thought of his dirty hands, he held back.

The man jumped out of the car and confirmed the location of the out-of-stock items with the driver.

Zhou Dong suddenly turned around and looked at his mother, and said softly, "Mom, please help prepare some food. Let this master stay for dinner before leaving."

"Okay, I'll do it."

The driver waved his hands quickly: "Big sister, no, no, I don't want to eat."

Zhou Dongmeng spoke at the right time: "Master, let's eat here. It will warm you up on the way back. Besides, it's hard for you to deliver it from a long distance. You should stay for a meal."

When the driver heard this, he stopped being polite and nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them started unloading the cargo together.

Bicycles were still in short supply in this day and age, let alone tractors. In the past, it took two or three communes to maintain one tractor, which was used in rotation during the busy farming season. Now, such a large object rumbled into the village and had already attracted the attention of the villagers, who came out of their yards and looked for it following the sound.

When they saw the tractor parked at the door of Zhou Gui's house, they were all very surprised. They looked at each other and muttered, "Did their family get rich?"

"Who knows? Let's go and take a look ahead..."

A group of people came up and joked, "My dear wife, what are you doing? Buying so many red bricks?"

Zhou's mother, who was about to go back to her room to cook, stopped walking when she heard this, turned around and said, "It's because the couple's room doesn't have a brick bed, only a bed, so they bought some red bricks and built a brick bed."

"Spring is coming soon, so there's no need to heat the kang."

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "It will be useful sooner or later, so just get it done now while you have time."

"You are really generous in building a brick bed with red bricks."

The driver who was unloading the truck said, "Ladies and gentlemen, red bricks are cheap now. If you have any use for them in your village, go to the quarry over there in Hetao and buy them. We will give you a discount."

Some people put their hands on their chests and muttered: "How much cheaper can it be? It's not like it's free..."

Another person asked: "Why buy so much bluestone?"

There is no need to use bluestone to make an earthen kang.

Bluestones this big are usually used for foundations. Does Zhou Gui's family want to rebuild their house?

Thinking of this, the way they looked at Zhou's mother changed.
