It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Xiao returned to Banpo Village.
The whistling northwest wind has become much lighter, but snow particles are actually floating in the sky, and it feels like it's going to snow again.
Lin Xiao did not rush home, but went to the brick and tile factory.
I saw more than a dozen men pulling large carts running out of the kiln quickly. It turned out that bricks were being produced today.
Just as Lin Xiao was standing outside the big iron gate watching the lively scene, Chen Erniu, who was directing the bricks, saw Lin Xiao and ran over.
"Oh, my brother! You are back, you are almost worried to death."
Chen Erniu laughed and quickly opened the big iron door.
At this time, Xia Huzi ran out from nowhere, and he hurriedly picked up the big bag that Lin Xiao had placed on the ground.
The three of them walked side by side towards Chen Erniu's office.
Before Lin Xiao's butt fell down, he asked, "What did you just say? Why are you worried about me?"
"What else could it be? Liu Xiong let it out, saying that you beat the son of a leader in the county and he was arrested by the police.
My uncle and aunt were so worried that they couldn't even eat. I went to the county town twice and couldn't find you.
oh! I also asked Liu Dan. This guy seemed to have changed. He didn't know anything when I asked him questions, and he seemed like he didn't want to talk. "
Xia Huzi shook his head and said with a sigh of relief.
Chen Erniu smiled quickly and said, "It's good to be back! Otherwise we really don't know what to do. There are also uncles and aunts. They are worried about you."
Just as the three of them were talking, laughter with an HN accent suddenly came from outside the door.
"Is the big boss back?"
The figure flashed, and a middle-aged man in his forties with a red face walked in.
Chen Erniu said with a busy smile: "This is our Master Xie Donglin, the uncle of your comrade in arms."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he quickly stepped forward to greet you. He laughed and said, "Hello, Uncle Xie! You've been here for so long, and I haven't even come to see you. Last time..."
"It's okay. Xiao Chen told me about the last time you came to the brick and tile factory, but it snowed heavily."
Xie Donglin laughed and interrupted Lin Xiao's words. He enthusiastically extended his calloused hands.
Lin Xiao shook hands with him and then pulled him to sit down.
Chen Erniu started making tea in an iron pot, and the four of them started chatting.
"Uncle Xie! If you have any suggestions for our brick and tile factory, feel free to mention it. Of course, you can also complain if you are not satisfied with the salary of the three of you."
Lin Xiao handed the first cup of tea to Xie Donglin's hand and said with a smile.
The big HN man smiled and said: "Our treatment is good, the best in the past few years, and the three of us are satisfied.
As for suggestions, I also talked with Xiao Chen. The soil quality here is good and the site is OK, but the output is too low. If we can buy a brick machine, then our output can be doubled or tripled without making any money. no. "
Xie Donglin laughed loudly as he spoke.
Lin Xiao nodded and said: "Er Niu told me about this. It's not that I haven't thought about it. It's just that there is a problem with funds at the moment, followed by sales.
Once these two problems are solved, I will find a way to buy a brick machine. What do you think? "
When Xie Donglin heard what Lin Xiao said, he nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Okay! I'll wait for this day."
Lin Xiao thought for a while and asked: "When can we have a holiday here? You should go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year! This has to be planned."
Xie Donglin glanced at Chen Erniu and said: "The bricks here can be left out of the kiln at most twice. Once they are all burned, it will be almost the twelfth lunar month. As soon as they are out of the kiln, we will immediately go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year."
It's extremely cold here, so the earliest time to make bricks is after they thaw in early February. Otherwise, even if the bricks are made, the quality will be affected. "
When Lin Xiao heard what Xie Donglin said, he basically understood it. He stood up and gave Xie Donglin all the ten pancakes he bought in the big bag.
This made Xie Donglin very happy. He took the fried cake and left with a big smile.
Lin Xiao asked some more about things in the village, and Chen Erniu and Xia Huzi both gave him a brief explanation.
Nie Chunlan was discharged from the hospital. The first thing she did when she returned to the village was to go to Lin Xiao's house to thank her.
Secondly, Sun Lanhua filed for divorce from Tian Siwa, which had a great impact on Banpo Village.
At first, some people in the village said that Lin Xiao seduced Sun Lanhua away. Later, the Tian family sisters went to Liu Xiong's house to make a fuss, and the villagers realized that it was the Liu family who wanted to put the shit basin on Lin Xiao.
Another thing is that the new township head Zhao Jingyi seems to dislike Liu Futang very much. When she comes to Banpo Village, she always comes secretly without letting Liu Futang know about it.
Such a thing has never happened in Banpo Village, so there are rumors in the village that Liu Futang may not be working for a long time.
Speaking of this matter, Chen Erniu also asked Lin Xiao his opinion. Lin Xiao smiled and said: "It's hard to say, society is developing, and Liu Futang's approach is no longer suitable for the development of Banpo Village."
The smart Xia Huzi immediately asked with a smile: "If you were asked to be the village chief of Banpo Village, would you be willing to do it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Lin Xiao is doing well in his career outside. Why is he going back to the village to wade into this muddy water?
It’s not like you don’t know that things in the village are not easy to do.
If you do it well, people will say you should do it; if you do it badly, they won't trample you to death! "
Chen Erniu interrupted Xia Huzi's words a little angrily, and he analyzed the matter angrily.
Lin Xiao smiled and asked Xia Huzi: "Did you say anything in front of Zhao Jingyi?"
Xia Huzi saw that he couldn't hide it any more, so he smiled and said, "The last time Mayor Zhao came to the village to investigate, he asked me who would be the most suitable person if Liu Futang was no longer the village chief.
I thought about it, looking at the entire Banpo Village, who else could be there besides you, so I mentioned your name without hesitation. "
When Chen Erniu heard this, he became angry and shouted loudly: "What are you doing, Xia Huzi? Are you trying to undermine our own power?"
Xia Huzi glared at Chen Erniu and said, "The Liu family has bullied us for so many years. I just want Lin Xiao to suppress them and make them come back bit by bit."
"You pig head! It's not like you don't know what Liu Futang's eldest son does.
I think now is not the time for revenge. We have to make money. Having money is the boss. "
Chen Erniu didn't give in, he yelled at Xia Huzi.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Okay! You two, stop arguing, I didn't agree.
There is something I need to communicate with you, and we must discuss it carefully. "
Lin Xiao said and glanced at Chen Erniu and Xia Huzi.
The two people couldn't help but frowned, looking a little nervous.
Chen Erniu was even more impatient than Xia Huzi. He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Just as Lin Xiao was about to speak, Lin Qian walked in quickly.
