On this side, the Yao Xiujuan sisters were worried about Yao Youjun, and on the other side, Yao's mother was also worried about her son.
"Hey, I wonder how the friendly forces are doing now? Have they started working already?"
Yao's father looked at his mother, who was worried, and said comfortingly, "He must have gone to work. Before Youjun left, he said that if he passed the exam, he might not be able to come back for several months..."
Yao's mother frowned, "I know I said this, but why didn't this child send a letter back? A letter doesn't cost a few cents..."
Father Yao knocked on the table and said, "Xiujuan's mother, Youjun is going there to be an apprentice and learn the skills. He should follow his master and learn the skills well when he has time!"
Mother Yao opened her lips but didn't say anything else. She just sighed heavily in her heart.
Yao Youjun, who was worried about by his parents and sisters, had already finished get off work, but he had not left. Instead, he stayed in the factory, lit the oil lamp, and continued to study the key points that his master had talked about during the day. When he was hammering hard, a male voice suddenly came.
"Who's there?"
Yao Youjun was so frightened that his hands trembled and he almost hit himself. He turned around and saw his master coming over. He stood up straight and said nervously, "Master, it's me..."
Yao Youjun's master, Master Cui, the best master in the third workshop of the steel plant, approached Yao Youjun and just took a casual glance, and he knew that Yao Youjun was tackling the key part he had mentioned during the day.
Yao Youjun, who was anxiously waiting for Master Cui to scold him, suddenly heard a sentence "You continue to do it, let me see..." He didn't react for a while...
Master Cui frowned and said sternly, "Why are you staring blankly? I told you to continue!"
"Ah? Oh, oh..."
Yao Youjun reacted quickly and started to operate in a hurry. After a while, he finished and stood aside stiffly, looking at Master Cui's icy face, which had not changed for thousands of years, with anxiety.
After a moment, Master Cui nodded slowly with a cold face, "Yes, the process is correct..."
Before Yao Youjun could even smile, he heard Master Cui say, "The process is correct, but the operation here and there is a little wrong."
Watching Master Cui pointing at the locations and explaining, "For example, this one should be lighter because it... this one should be heavier because it..."
Yao Youjun leaned in to observe, nodding repeatedly. When Master Cui finished explaining everything, Yao Youjun said with joy, "Master, now I understand everything..."
Master Cui wanted to smile, but then he remembered that he usually didn't smile, so he restrained his smile and just nodded lightly, "Well, if you don't understand something in the future, just ask me directly, don't try to figure it out on your own..."
Yao Youjun scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "But Master, you are very busy during the day..."
Master Cui thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you half an hour every night after get off work."
Yao Youjun was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Master!"
Master Cui nodded, said, "Go back and rest quickly," and turned and left.
"yes."
Chu Tian woke up and had just finished his meal. Before he could catch his breath, he saw Chu Min coming again.
"...Brother! Didn't we agree yesterday? When the road isn't so muddy in a couple of days, we'll pay the team to help haul the cement back?"
Chu Min chuckled, "I didn't say I was going to get cement today! I wanted to tell you that I went to see Brother Wang Qiang yesterday, and he said that using pure cement to build a house is prone to cracking, and that we need to add some sand to make it stronger. This way, it will not only be stronger but also save more cement..."
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, "But, but we don't have any sand fields here?"
Chu Min laughed and slapped Chu Tian on the shoulder. "Little brother, are you stupid? What kind of land do we have in Xinjiang? It's just a lot of saline-alkali land and sandy land! Can't we go to places with a lot of sand and bring back a few trucks?"
(I'm just talking nonsense. I don't know if ordinary sand can be used to build a house. It should be river sand, but there is none. So I have to...)
“·····”
Chu Tian felt dizzy. What did this mean? Did it mean he had to run again today?
Chu Min seemed not to notice Chu Tian's collapse and continued, "I heard from Brother Wang Qiang that if we go west, there will be a large area of uncultivated sandy land after passing the steel plant. They always go there to collect sand..."
Chu Tian, "..."
Chu Min, "But it's definitely not possible for just the two of us. I found the team leader and asked to borrow all the team's carriages. But this time we have to pull heavy objects, so we definitely can't use them for nothing. So I told the team leader that we will prepare some food for the horses as compensation for their hard work."
"The team leader has agreed and said we can use it now, but we can't use it after spring plowing starts."
"...Okay, when are we going?"
Chu Tian sighed in his heart and compromised, thinking that this was fine. Although the feeling of being dominated by Chu Min every day was not very pleasant! But at least Chu Min had arranged every step properly. He only needed to follow and did not need to make any other preparations.
Chu Min curled his lips and smiled, "I looked at the main road to the west this morning. Although it wasn't very dry, it was much drier than the road heading south, so..."
Chu Tian interrupted, "Okay, I got it. I'll go change my clothes and we'll go right away..."
Chu Min nodded. "Well, take your time to change. I'll wait for you outside the educated youth camp to see if the people I called have arrived. By the way, you don't need to bring any dry food. I asked your second sister-in-law to make a lot. If we can't make it back at noon, we can just make do with whatever we can..."
