After Han Zhenyu arrived at the brick factory, he went directly to the factory director's office.
Lin Jianbo was sitting there drinking tea and reading a newspaper. When he heard a knock on the door, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Come in."
Han Zhenyu pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Excuse me, is this Director Lin?"
Lin Jianbo raised his head and saw a tall young man standing at the door. He took another look at his clothes and asked indifferently, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Han Zhenyu didn't care about his attitude. He smiled and put the note in front of him. "Hello, Director Lin. I'm Han Zhenyu from the Sanhua Brigade. I'm here to haul bricks today. Please give me your instructions."
When Lin Jianbo heard him say that he was from the countryside, he frowned and said without even looking at the note:
"Everywhere you go, you ask me for bricks, but there are only a few kilns that produce bricks every day. Even if you split them into eight halves, there won't be enough to share. There are dozens of people in line ahead of you. Go back and wait. Come back in a few months."
As he spoke, he casually glanced at the note, and when he saw that the person who approved it was the purchasing director of the county armed forces department, he immediately changed his attitude.
He said with a smile on his face: "I just remembered that there was an extra kiln of bricks yesterday. It was originally reserved for the county textile factory, but they didn't come to take it. Since you are in a hurry to use it, take it first."
Han Zhenyu seemed not to notice the change in his attitude and said politely with a smile: "Thank you very much, Director Lin, but I haven't contacted a car today. Do you think it's okay to come over tomorrow morning?"
Lin Jianbo smiled and waved his hand, saying enthusiastically: "No need to contact us, our factory can help deliver it. Just tell me the detailed address and we will have someone deliver it to you this afternoon."
"Thank you so much." Han Zhenyu expressed his gratitude with a smile.
The two shook hands like old friends, and Han Zhenyu smiled and invited him, "Director Lin, I wanted to treat you to a meal, but the company has arranged a business trip. I can only treat you when I come back. I hope you can do me the honor then."
"It's not a big deal. You're too polite."
Lin Jianbo personally saw him off and asked him, "Zhenyu, where do you work?"
Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "Director Lin, I am a driver in the transport team of Songping Machinery Factory."
"Oh, that's a good job. The salary at Songping Machinery Factory is the best in Nanping County. Last year, my brother-in-law applied for the job but was rejected in the first round."
Lin Jianbo was a little surprised. Han Zhenyu was dressed simply. At first he thought he was a villager from nearby who wanted to buy bricks.
But the note he brought was actually approved by Director Xu of the county armed forces department himself.
Now I heard him say that he worked at Songping Machinery Factory, and I felt that I had made a mistake today.
Songping Machinery Factory is the factory with the best treatment in their area. It is difficult to get in without strong connections.
Han Zhenyu works for the transport team with the most oil and water, which not only requires connections, but also requires driving skills.
His brother-in-law graduated from high school last year. His father-in-law used many connections to get him in but failed, and finally he got him a job in the county textile factory.
Han Zhenyu didn't say how he got into the factory. He just smiled and said politely, "I was just lucky. I learned to drive from others for a few days, and the factory was recruiting drivers."
With his euphemistic words, Lin Jianguo knew even more that he was no simple man.
But I didn't ask any more questions. Who would say that they got into jail through connections? Wouldn't that give them something to hold against them?
The two chatted for a while in the office, then Han Zhenyu went to the accountant to pay the money and left the brick factory on his bicycle.
Lin Jianbo gave the address he left to the mail department and said, "Pack it according to the quantity above and send it over this afternoon."
"Yes, Director Lin." Seeing that the director came in person to give instructions, the mailman arranged for someone to deliver it without waiting until the afternoon.
Su Xiaqiu was sorting out the supplies that Han Lei and Sun Dashu had brought back when she heard someone calling her outside.
"Zhenyu's wife, the people from the brick factory are here to deliver bricks to you. They are waiting at the entrance of the village. Please go quickly."
"Hey, here I come."
Su Xieqiu was a little surprised. The bricks were pulled back so quickly?
She locked the door and hurried to the village entrance.
There were already several carts loaded with red bricks parked there, and there were many villagers watching the fun nearby.
Su Xieqiu walked forward with a smile, "Master, are these bricks ordered by Han Zhenyu?"
The leader nodded and said politely, "Yes, where should these bricks go?"
"Master, please follow me and go north." Su Xieqiu hurriedly led the way.
In fact, she didn't know the exact location of her home. She only knew that it was near the mountains, near Sun Dahan's home.
Han Lei and Sun Dashu were cleaning up the dilapidated house with a few villagers.
Seeing Su Xieqiu coming with the brick delivery, he immediately shouted, "Sister-in-law, ask the workers to bring the bricks down here. The place has been cleaned up."
"good."
Seeing that the brick-pulling masters were sweating profusely, Su Xieqiu asked Sun Dahan's wife to help boil a pot of water.
He went back and got the bag of steamed buns that Han Zhenyu bought.
"Masters, we just separated and now we don't even have a pot. We only have these steamed buns at home. You can fill your stomachs first."
When those who were delivering bricks saw that they were actually steamed buns made of white flour, they were too embarrassed to accept them.
In the past, when they delivered bricks to people, even if they arrived at mealtime, the host would at most give them water to drink, not food, let alone white flour buns like this.
Su Xieqiu smiled and stuffed it into the hands of the leader, "It's so hot today, thank you for your hard work, there are only a few buns here, share them among you."
Seeing that she was giving it sincerely, the man took it with a smile and said gratefully, "Thank you, big sister."
After seeing off the people from the brick factory, Su Xiaqiu looked around for a while and then went to the adobe house.
Han Lei and his team worked very quickly and the roof was almost ready.
Su Xieqiu said: "Han Lei, this place is too close to the mountain, and there is no yard. The door needs to be made stronger."
Han Zhenyu's grandfather and uncle will live here until the house is built, which will take at least a month.
It doesn't matter whether they are comfortable or not, but we must ensure their safety.
Han Lei smiled and nodded, "Got it, sister-in-law."
When Su Xieqiu returned, the people at the entrance of the village had not yet dispersed. When they saw her, they all asked her:
"Zhenyu's wife, why did you buy so many bricks? Are you going to build a few houses? These bricks must cost a lot of money, right?"
Su Xieqiu shook his head. "Han Zhenyu bought it. I don't know how much it cost. I don't understand these things. He has the final say in our family."
She decided that she would act like a wife who was afraid of men and put all the blame on Han Zhenyu.
Anyway, that person looked difficult to talk to, so few villagers would dare to go to him and ask questions.
A woman asked maliciously: "Didn't you leave the house empty-handed? Where did you get the money to buy bricks?"
