After Lu Zhiye returned to the village, he began to build a big kang for Wen Sihe and the others.
There was no yellow mud or bricks for the kang, and Lu Zhiye was not so kind as to go and dig the soil by himself.
So he called Lu Yong, Wen Sihe and Wu Yu to go to the back mountain to dig the loess.
Wu Yu was confused: "Can't I pay? I don't even know how to dig up the loess!"
Lu Yong glanced at her and couldn't help but say, "How long will it take us to carry so much soil back, make bricks, and step on the yellow mud?
We have to pay taxes in two days. If we don’t prepare it and dry it in the shade these few days, who will have the time later?”
His words were not polite at all, making Wu Yu's pretty face blush.
Wen Sihe protected Wu Yu behind him: "Comrade Lu Yong, we have never slept on a big kang, and we don't know how troublesome it is. But Xiaoyu is right, we pay more money, can't you find someone to carry it back?"
She had a cold face, and there was a hint of frost on her usually smiling face.
Lu Yong's heart skipped a beat and he was speechless.
Lu Zhiye put the backpack on the ground and said, "Just the two of us will help build the kang. If you want to go to bed early, go and help. Otherwise, ask someone else!"
Lu Zhiye just wanted to quickly finish making the kang for the two female educated youth and stayed away from them.
Furthermore, it is a hassle to find someone to dig up the loess, whether it is suitable for building a kang, and whether it is sufficient. It is a waste of time.
This woman is a vixen. If you get too close to her, she will lose consciousness. We have to leave quickly.
Wen Sihe curled her lips and wanted to say something else.
Several educated youth came out of the educated youth site, all carrying backpacks and holding hoes.
Seeing Wen Sihe, a female educated youth greeted her with a smile: "Wen Zhiqing, we are going to dig loess, do you want to come?"
Wen Sihe was puzzled: "Didn't you ask someone to help you build the kang?"
The female educated youth smiled shyly: "I did look for someone, but I heard from them that the old masters in the village who can build kangs directly go to the house to build them, and we need to carry the loess back by ourselves. Otherwise, we have to find someone to help carry the soil, and we have to pay an extra dollar and an extra meal."
Wen Sihe suddenly realized that it seemed that Lu Zhiye was kind to them, so she followed them to dig the soil.
Wu Yu also felt the same way and immediately looked at the two people with gratitude.
A group of people marched towards a small hill in the back mountain. Many houses in the village were built with yellow earth used to build the kangs. The earth was dug from this hill.
Lu Zhiye picked up a piece of relatively fine loess and started digging.
Wen Sihe watched from the side. The boy raised his strong arms high and then dropped them heavily. Every move exuded the scent of male hormones.
When Wen Sihe read this book, she became interested in Lu Zhiye in the book. Now that the real person is right in front of her, her heart is beating even faster.
"Okay, carry these back!"
Lu Zhiye's low voice sounded, signaling Wen Sihe to carry the backpack away.
Wen Sihe suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah! Oh! Okay!"
She had only a little difficulty carrying over a hundred pounds of soil.
Lu Zhiye's pupils trembled slightly. For the first time, he realized that Wen Sihe was not a delicate and weak girl.
Lu Yong at the side couldn't help cursing: "It's already half poured out, and you still can't recite it?"
Wu Yu blushed slightly: "Lift it up and put it on my back, otherwise I can't get up after squatting down!"
Lu Yong's dark face was speechless.
This educated youth is so delicate that even his sister can carry this half backpack.
Lu Zhiye spent the entire afternoon digging up the loess. He estimated that there was enough soil to build two large kangs, so he stopped and prepared to go home.
Lu Yong was exhausted after being tormented by Wu Yu for the whole afternoon. In the end, he had no choice but to accept his fate and carry the money to the educated youth point on his own.
Before dawn the next day, Lu Zhiye started making earthen bricks for the kang.
At this time, you need to get a note from the brigade to buy red bricks. In addition to the large quantity needed to build a large red brick tile house, the brick factory will specially deliver them.
For example, the red bricks used to make the kang are in short supply, and many villagers cannot get them, so they make them themselves.
Lu Zhiye learned it from his grandfather when he was a child.
After the bricks are made, they need to be fired, then dried, then watered and fired again. This process must be repeated three times to make the bricks more resistant to firing and more breathable.
It takes one day to make bricks and one day to mix the yellow mud. Put the yellow mud in the yard and add water.
Lu Zhiye called out, "Wen Zhiqing."
Wen Sihe was sitting on a small stool at the door, watching Lu Zhiye work very attentively.
When his name was suddenly called, he stood up subconsciously.
"arrive!"
The corner of Lu Zhiye's mouth twitched, and he sighed imperceptibly: "Come here, step on the yellow mud!"
Wu Yu looked curious: "How do you step on it?"
Lu Zhiye signaled Lu Yong to give her a demonstration.
Lu Yong walked into the yellow mud barefoot.
Heyyo's big feet mixed the soil and water together in just a few steps.
"The yellow mud must be stepped on finely so that it won't crack when you build the kang."
Wu Yu excitedly took off his shoes and pulled Wen Sihe to stand in the mud.
The slippery touch made Wen Sihe subconsciously retract his feet.
But soon she was immersed in this decompressing soil.
Lu Zhiye took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
His handsome face was hidden in the smoke, making his eyes appear even deeper.
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and his eyes fell on the female educated youth who were having fun.
Spots of sunlight fell on her face, her hair was clearly visible, and her skin seemed to be broken if blown by a finger. Her skin had clearly been tanned a lot during the autumn harvest, but it had turned white again in the past few days.
It was as crystal clear as white jade, and Lu Zhiye couldn't help but rub his fingers.
