"Finally, a good red brick should be light red. If the color is too dark, it means it was over-fired and not hard enough. And look at the white residue on this brick. This is because the brick factory mixed in white lime during the firing process, which also shows that the quality is not good."
"There are so many details about red bricks. I've really broadened my horizons today." Wen Sisi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Qingyun with admiration. "Yunyun, I didn't expect you know so much at such a young age."
"It's okay, I learned all of this from books." Su Qingyun felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.
"Can we use these low-quality bricks to build a school?" Wen Sisi said with some concern. "What if there are any safety issues in the future?"
Su Qingyun was also thinking about this problem. Once this school was built, all the school-age children in the village would come to attend classes. If any safety accident happened, it would be unimaginable.
"I'll find time to talk this over with the captain."
"That's fine." Wen Sisi quickly put the matter behind her. After all, this was not something they could solve.
"What are you talking about?" The two brothers Su Congjun and Su Congwu caught up.
"Nothing." Su Qingyun was too lazy to repeat herself. She asked Wen Sisi, "Sister Sisi, if we go further we will reach Yunluo Mountain."
Xiaoyuan Village is on the other side of Yunluo Mountain, and their Luoshui Village is on the other side of Yunluo Mountain.
Wen Sisi's eyes lit up. "I haven't been to the mountain yet. Can I go up there and play for a bit?"
"This..." Su Congjun hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear to spoil her fun. "Of course you can, but you can't go too far. You can only walk around the periphery of the mountain. There are too many things in the deep mountains. It's too dangerous."
"It's okay to take a walk, let's go." Wen Sisi said impatiently. She had never been to the mountains before.
"Then let's go."
The four young men walked towards Yunluo Mountain.
The road at the foot of the mountain was easy to walk on because villagers often walked on it. Wen Sisi was in high spirits and had questions to ask about every tree and flower she had never seen before. Su Congjun patiently answered her questions.
Su Congwu felt a little envious for a moment, thinking that it would be nice to have a chattering partner like his elder brother.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyun nudged her third brother with her elbow, with a wicked smile on her face, "Are you feeling amorous?"
The romance in Su Congwu's heart instantly vanished. He looked at her speechlessly, "Where does the spring feeling come from in winter?"
"Tsk." Su Qingyun's expression was subtle, "Third brother, it's time for you to find a partner."
"It's your fault." Su Congwu pinched her face in angrily.
"It's not me who's worried, it's Second Aunt. I think she's getting anxious and angry in this cold winter."
At this point, Su Congwu also became worried. The closer his elder brother's wedding got, the more his mother sighed, and the more unfriendly her eyes became when she looked at him. He felt deeply that if he didn't receive any good news to reassure his mother, she would really find him a girl.
Su Congwu counted the days until the results were announced on his fingers. Fortunately, there were only a few days left.
"Hurry up, big brother and the others are nowhere to be seen." The two men came to their senses and found that the people who followed them were nowhere to be seen.
The two quickened their pace and when they turned the corner they saw Su Congjun and Wen Sisi standing under a tree, craning their necks to look up at the tree.
"What are you looking at?" The two of them also looked up.
"Look at the fruits on it, do you think they are edible?" Wen Sisi pointed at the fruits on the branches as if thinking. There were clusters of fruits hanging on the tree, both red and black.
Su Congwu had been running around in the mountains and fields since he was a child, so he knew what it was. "It's a black fruit. The red ones aren't tasty, but the black ones are okay. There's not much flesh, and the core is really big. It's sour and sweet, just sweet enough to pass the time, but not much to eat."
Wen Sisi's mouth watered after hearing this. Seeing her greedy look, Su Congjun smiled and said, "Do you want to eat?"
"I do, but it's a bit high." Wen Sisi's neck felt sore from looking at it.
Su Qingyun took a look and found that the place where the fruits were was about four meters high.
"This isn't high. I've climbed taller trees." Su Congjun said proudly, "Just wait."
He took off his outer cotton coat, rolled up his sleeves and climbed up. Wen Sisi didn't have time to say the words to stop him, as they were stuck in her throat. She could only watch Su Congjun climb higher and higher with worried eyes.
Su Congjun was agile and quickly ran to the place where the fruits were. He rolled up his clothes and picked the fruits quickly. According to Su Congwu's instructions, he only picked the black ones. Soon he had a bag full of fruits.
"That's enough, that's enough." Wen Sisi called out from under the tree, "Come down quickly."
"immediately."
Su Congjun carefully wrapped the fruit and moved down the same way. When he reached the lowest branch, he jumped down easily and landed steadily.
"Here." He spread out his clothes, and the black and tempting fruits were crowded together in a round shape. Wen Sisi's smile instantly blossomed, which was more romantic and charming than the mountain flowers.
Su Congwu looked up at the sky and sighed. Okay, he admitted that spring feelings can come even in winter.
