Chapter 63 Aunt Hu's Request

"An An, do you think it's okay to make the brick box like this?" Shen Yuanhao handed over two wooden square frames.

Shen Anan took it, looked at it, and gave her fifth brother a thumbs up: "Excellent!"

There are many steps in firing bricks. In addition to building a brick kiln, the preliminary preparations also require preparing a certain number of wooden brick boxes to facilitate the production of brick blanks.

As for the brick kiln, the team decided to wait for Master Lu from the county to arrive before starting work under his professional guidance.

These days, after finishing work in the afternoon, Shen Yuanxing took the villagers to the mountains to dig soil and make a batch of earthen blocks to facilitate building the kiln when the time comes.

As for the wooden brick box, it was given to Shen Yuanhao. Shen Yuanhao really loved carpentry. Even a simple brick box was made with great precision, and even the burrs on the wood were ground clean.

"Okay, as long as it can be used, I will hurry up and make more." Shen Yuanhao's face was full of joy, and he also wanted to contribute to the team.

"Fifth brother, take your time, don't rush, don't get too tired."

The two siblings were discussing the size of the brick box when they heard a cautious knock on the door.

Shen Anan looked up and saw an aunt with a basket standing at the door. She stood there a little stiffly. After feeling Shen Anan's gaze, she couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Aunt Hu, you are here to look for my mother, come in quickly." Shen Anan quickly invited the visitor to sit in the main room.

In Shen Anan's memory, Aunt Hu and Wang Sufen were sisters who grew up together and married into the same team. She saw them often interacting with each other when she was a child.

Ever since Aunt Hu's husband passed away, she doesn't like to come out and communicate with others.

"Mom, Aunt Hu is here."

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Sufen poked her head out from the kitchen: "Yulan, why are you here?"

"Sufen, no, no, I'm not thirsty." Aunt Hu sat on the chair a little stiffly, not touching the brown sugar water that Wang Sufen brought out.

Wang Sufen was delighted to see Hu Yulan coming to her house. After all, they had been friends since childhood. However, seeing her hesitant expression, she guessed that she might have something to say.

"Yulan, if you have anything to say, just tell me. There's nothing to be ashamed of between us."

"I, I..." Aunt Hu stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Shen Anan looked at the situation and wanted to go back to the yard to leave some space for the two of them. However, just as she stood up, she was stopped by Aunt Hu: "Anan, Auntie actually came to ask you for help."

Perhaps this was a good start, as Aunt Hu continued, "It's about the selection of workers for the brick factory in the brigade. Can our Danniu also participate?"

Aunt Hu's voice became quieter as she spoke, and she quickly added, "Just let him try. He's really much better now. If he can't do it, you can just leave him, okay?"

Shen Anan was a little confused: "Aunt Hu, our recruitment is open to the public, how could we not let Brother Daniu participate?"

At first, she thought that Aunt Hu came to Wang Sufen to ask for help through the back door. After all, ever since her second brother mentioned that the brick factory was recruiting workers, many people came to their house to give gifts.

In the end, her second brother got angry and said that anyone who gave a gift would be disqualified from participating. Only then did the house quiet down.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Hu just wanted a chance to take the exam.

"I, our big bull..."

Wang Sufen secretly tugged at her daughter's sleeve and assured Aunt Hu, "Yulan, don't worry, Daniu will definitely be able to participate in the selection. If anyone wants to prevent our Daniu from participating, I will be the first to disagree."

Aunt Hu's face was full of gratitude. "Sufen, thank you so much. This is a small gift from me. It's not worth much, but you must accept it."

"Hey, you don't need it, take it back!"

After saying this, Aunt Hu put down the basket and walked out. Wang Sufen didn't stop her.

The basket was full of wild vegetables, which looked like they had been carefully picked and washed. They were all tender wild vegetable tips, and the mud on them had been washed clean.

Wild vegetables in the countryside are not valuable and cannot be considered gifts. After thinking about it, Wang Sufen decided to let Zhou Ping take the wild vegetables into the kitchen.

If she didn't collect this basket of wild vegetables, Hu Yulan would probably be worried.

"Oh, she is still so stubborn!" Wang Sufen sighed.

Shen Anan asked curiously, "Mom, wasn't our selection agreed to be open to the public? Why did Aunt Hu come all the way here and give us something?"

Wang Sufen looked reluctant: "You didn't know when you were in school in town, but two years ago your brother Danniu had a high fever and damaged his brain."

"After Daniu became stupid, he couldn't do farm work anymore. Your Aunt Hu had a hard time these past few years. If it weren't for her family's support, I'm afraid both mother and son wouldn't be alive today."

"Daniu had an illness before and damaged the crops, so your Aunt Hu is worried that the team will not allow Daniu to participate in the selection this time."

Shen Anan sighed after hearing this. This basket of wild vegetables was probably the greatest sincerity Aunt Hu could show.

"An An, if Da Niu can pass the selection, can you use him? He is very strong and a good worker." Wang Sufen also wanted to help Aunt Hu.

If she said so, Hu Yulan was just too stubborn. She had asked her eldest brother to send food to the Hu family before, but Hu Yulan refused to accept it no matter what.

If you ask her, face is never more important than life.

"Mom, don't worry. As long as you can pass the test, everyone will be treated equally."

"Oh, that's good. If Daniel gets selected, Yulan can rest assured..."

……

……

Late at night, at the educated youth point.

Because the brick factory would hold selections the next morning, the educated youth were tossing and turning on the kang excitedly. The educated youth camp had large dormitories, with about ten people living in one room.

"Hey, what do you think? Can we be selected tomorrow? What will the assessment of the brick factory test?" Zhong Qing tried to use chatting to dispel his nervousness.

This is an opportunity that everyone dreams of seizing, and no one is sure of it.

The thin man next to him clenched his fist and vowed: "No matter what exam I take, I will become a worker."

Zheng Chenlong laughed and said, "You're as skinny as a chicken. I'm afraid you can't even move a brick!"

The thin man retorted angrily: "None of your business. Even if brick makers can't do it, there are still sales positions."

"Even if I can't get in, do you think you can? You have strong limbs but a simple mind!"

"Hey, who are you talking about!" Zheng Chenlong turned over and was about to pounce on someone and hit him.

"Okay, go to bed quickly. You still have to participate in the selection tomorrow." Duan Zhehong, who had been listening quietly beside him, suddenly spoke up to persuade.

Zheng Chenlong was stopped by Zhong Qing and rolled his eyes at Duan Hongzhe: "You are the only one pretending to be a good person. It's really disgusting."

"Hey, why are you like this!" The thin man next to him retorted, but was stopped by Duan Hongzhe.

"Forget it, don't bother with him, just go to sleep."

Zhong Qing asked curiously, "Zhehong, are you going to the brick factory to recruit workers tomorrow? This is a rare opportunity."

Duan Zhehong curled his lips and said, "I'll see what happens tomorrow, maybe not."

Zheng Chenlong said sarcastically, "Not necessarily yet. It seems like you'll be chosen just by going there."

"Oh, okay, go to sleep."

Duan Zhehong glared at Zheng Chenlong with a cold face in the darkness.

This idiot is still as annoying as ever.

When Duan Zhehong thought about what he had just done, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

No matter who it is, no one can stop him. He is destined to be a worker!
