Once I told them, they all immediately went into the mountains to dig soil and mix mud to prepare for brick making. Everyone was willing to work if they could earn a little more!
"Alright, it's settled then. But we won't let you suffer any losses. We guarantee the bricks will be of good quality and the price will be fair! I know the skills of the men in our village!"
Mo Youxian readily agreed, and the matter was settled. Mo Youxian then helped arrange for someone to open a kiln and fire bricks.
Mo Yuan rode his bicycle to the county's supply and marketing cooperative. After finding Sister Ma, he chatted with her warmly for a few moments before explaining his purpose: he wanted to buy some firecrackers and similar items. Although the village didn't have a custom of holding a "starting-of-work banquet," setting off some firecrackers to celebrate was still appropriate. Mo Yuan even bought extra so he could set off some when the village's brick kiln opened.
And so, almost on the same day that Mo Youshan had chosen, with the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of children, the factory and the brick kiln on the back hill started up together, creating a bustling and lively scene.
Mo Yuan stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the lively scene before him, his heart filled with joy. He knew this day was exceptionally meaningful to him. After all the hard work he had put in, this moment had finally arrived. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would surely create a bright future.
Watching the children clasp their hands in greeting around him, their pretentious little adults making him chuckle, he couldn't help but smile. These little ones were also chanting various auspicious phrases, such as "Good luck on your first day of work" and "May wealth flow in," as if a group of little elves had descended to earth.
Mo Yuan was overjoyed. He had come prepared, and together with Lin Xue, they pulled out a handful of candy from their pockets and distributed it to the children. The children were even more excited after receiving the reward, and the auspicious words the adults had taught them bombarded Mo Yuan and Lin Xue like a machine gun. However, in their excitement, some of the children even forgot what they were supposed to say.
At this moment, a child saw Mo Yuan and Lin Xue standing side by side, like a perfect couple made in heaven. Suddenly, he remembered the scene of Mo Yuan's wedding. In a daze, he blurted out in a moment of panic, "May you have a long and happy marriage!" This sentence caused the onlookers to burst into laughter.
Lin Xue blushed and hid behind Mo Yuan, but Mo Yuan wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled and gave the child another piece of candy as a reward. Seeing this, the other children followed suit, and the scene became unusually lively. An unsuspecting person might have thought a wedding was taking place. Lin Xue felt extremely embarrassed and quickly stopped Mo Yuan's antics.
Lin Xue had originally come at Mo Yuan's invitation to witness the event and share in the joy, but unexpectedly, she ended up becoming the target of everyone's teasing. Seeing the children chattering and the women laughing uproariously, she wished she could disappear into the ground. Embarrassed and annoyed, she glanced at them and turned to leave.
That look seemed to say, "You're such a show-off, I'll deal with you tonight!"
Watching Lin Xue run away in a disheveled state, Mo Yuan did not chase after her, knowing that she was just shy and not really angry.
Mo Yuan moved through the crowd, chatting with the villagers and sharing their joy. At the same time, he didn't forget to remind everyone to pay attention to safety and ensure the smooth progress of construction.
On this special day, Mo Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility. He knew that he bore the mission of leading everyone on the road to prosperity. And now was the time for him to take the first step.
Mo Yuan took a deep breath and told himself to stay true to his beliefs and forge ahead. He believed that as long as he persevered, he would definitely be able to realize his dream.
Not only do I want Lin Xue to be happy for the rest of her life, but I also want to give my family a good life and make up for my regrets in my previous life!
