Chapter 18 18. Old stone and brick
  Since going to Tang's house, Tang Tang felt that his relationship with Pomegranate had become closer. He would quietly tell Pomegranate any gossip he had on weekdays. Pomegranate accidentally learned a bunch of unknown gossip stories.

Through Tang Tang's gossip, Shiliu learned that Wang Zhaodi's mother was not only a Voldemort, but also a serious patriarchal patriarch. The reason why Wang Zhaodi was allowed to go to high school was because Wang Zhaodi's academic performance was quite good and she was admitted to the city's high school. ; On the other hand, it is to sell it at a good price in the future.

Pomegranate's heart is full of helplessness. Poor people must be hateful. Wang Zhaodi is also a pitiful person, but Pomegranate will not change her view of Wang Zhaodi just because of that. Your mother treats you badly, so you just complain to other people. He has a good temper and has the ability to use force on his mother.

“Knock knock—” Tang Tang’s voice came from outside the door: “Pomegranate, are you at home?”

Pomegranate, who was making buns in the kitchen, heard the sound and hurriedly looked outside. Seeing this, Grandma Zhao said considerately: "Pomegranate, the voice sounds like that girl Tang Tang. Come over and have a look. Grandma will help you watch the fire. "

Pomegranate was not polite and hurried to open the door: "Tang Tang, why are you here now? I happened to be making buns, you eat two buns before leaving." She has been eating a lot of Tang Tang's goodies these days.

Tang Tang was not polite, picked up a bun and started to chew on it. It looked like he was very hungry.

Pomegranate couldn't help but shook her head: "Did you not eat?"

"Didn't you ask me to find out where temporary workers are needed? I just learned the news that two regular workers in the brick factory smashed their feet while working. They were seriously injured. It is estimated that they will need to be recuperated for at least a month. The two were asking about the substitute. They were all coolies in the brick factory. As long as you have the strength, you can do this work. The monthly salary is 25 yuan, and they charge 5 yuan. The remaining 20 yuan is given to the substitute. of."

Shiliu's eyes lit up when she heard this. Big Brother and the others couldn't do such a technical job, but moving bricks was definitely no problem: "When are you coming to work? Do you need two?"

"We have to start work the day after tomorrow, otherwise the brick factory will deduct wages. I remember you said that your eldest brother and the others are very strong, so just ask your two brothers to come over then." Tang Tang narrowed his eyes happily, oh, pomegranate buns The steamed buns were so delicious, but it was a pity that she was too embarrassed to come here often to eat. "By the way, my mother asked me to give you these white noodles and pork."

"Auntie is so polite. I usually eat your kimchi, so how can I ask for these?" Pomegranate knows very well how good she is at cooking. The Tang family must be delicious. They are not deliberately trying to take advantage of her, otherwise they wouldn't be here. The next day after her visit to the Tang family, she brought a warm kettle and seven feet of defective cloth.

"Hehe, actually this is my food expenses for breakfast for the next week. I really like eating the buns you made." Actually, what Tang Tang was embarrassed to say was that her parents, brother and sister-in-law also wanted to eat it, but they didn't Sorry, I took advantage of my deskmate, and of course it had something to do with her being thick-skinned.

When Pomegranate heard this, she accepted the bag. Friends only lasted long if they kept in touch, and she was not the one who suffered. If Tang Tang blindly took advantage, she would not be able to continue to have contact with him. Fortunately, she His vision is pretty good.

"Since they are in a hurry, I will leave in the afternoon and try to bring my two brothers over early tomorrow morning." Shiliu didn't expect that time was so urgent, so she had to rush back overnight. It only costs 40 yuan a month for two people, which can be done in rural areas. Build a thatched house.

Tang Tang slapped her forehead. She almost forgot that her deskmate was from the countryside. Now she was in trouble: "Then you pack your things quickly, otherwise it will be too late, so I won't disturb you now. You can hurry up and wait until tomorrow. Well, you just need to find someone named Wang Aiguo."

After Shiliu sent people out, she went into the kitchen to pick up the meat buns, and then went to the main room to tell Grandma Zhao so that she wouldn't worry.

Grandma Zhao also knows that it is not easy for rural people to make some money. Now that they finally have a legitimate way to make money, they will not give up no matter what. They just tell Shiliu to pay attention to safety.

Pomegranate packed some things casually, then hurriedly and slowly caught the last train.

The conductor looked at the little girl in surprise and asked: "Why are you going to the county so late?" Pomegranate said half-truth: "It's a bit urgent and I need to go home urgently, otherwise I don't want to travel at night. Woolen cloth."

The conductor just asked casually. After all, the people who catch the last train are usually men. It was the first time to see such a young single girl.

Pomegranate was secretly glad that there were fewer people on the last train and the smell in the car was slightly lighter, but even so she felt dizzy. If she hadn't said hello to the ticket girl in advance, Pomegranate would have almost slept through the station.

After getting off the car, Pomegranate shivered when the cold wind blew. He walked a few steps to the dark alley and took out the bicycle from the space. This bicycle was obtained by accident from a department store check-in, otherwise she would have had to walk home this time.

Shijia Village was quiet at night. Shiliu didn't see anyone at all while riding her bicycle. In fact, this was normal. There were no electric lights in the village, so she went to bed as soon as it got dark.

“Mom, I’m back, open the door quickly——”

Su Sanlan heard her daughter's voice in a daze, and suddenly woke up with fright, quickly put on her clothes and ran out. Brother Shi and others also heard the sound, and everyone was worried that something had happened to Shiliu, so they ran home in the middle of the night.

"Oh, my daughter, why are you back so late?" Su Sanlan was so frightened that she burst into tears when she thought about what chance her daughter might encounter on the road.

Seeing this, Shiliu quickly comforted her and said, "Mom, there's no one on the road at all. Besides, I'm fine."

Brother Shi said with some disapproval: "Sister, no matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't rush back at night. It's too unsafe for a girl's family."

The other three brothers also nodded, which showed that they were quite frightened.

Sister-in-law Shi quickly got a cup of hot water for her sister-in-law. Pomegranate smiled gratefully, and then said to everyone: "If there is nothing serious, I plan to come back tomorrow, but didn't I get some good news?"

"What good news?" Su Sanlan looked at her daughter excitedly.

The rest of the Lao Shi family also looked at Pomegranate with curious faces.

"I asked my classmates to find a job for my eldest brother and the others. It cost 20 yuan a month for two people."

"20! Girl, what kind of job are you looking for? Your four brothers don't know anything except some strength. You must not ruin the relationship between classmates because of your brothers." Su Sanlan said with some worry: "There is no one at home. We were short of food, so food was distributed quickly.”

Shiliu waved her hand and said, "It's not a technical job, it's just going to the brick factory to move bricks. My classmate said that two formal workers accidentally caused an accident while moving bricks. They smashed their feet and were seriously injured. . The two families are reluctant to part with the salary, but there is no replacement at home, so they can only find outsiders to replace them. They only get 5 yuan every month, and the invoices issued by the brick factory also belong to them."
