These days, Sun Shaoan and Xiu-lian He, like terminally ill patients, suddenly have the hope of survival, and their excitement has been seeping from their hearts to their faces. The dark clouds are retreating rapidly, the blue sky is exposed in the cracks of the clouds, and the golden arrow of the sun is shining ... However, people in Shuangshui Village have not noticed the emotional changes of the couple. Shao An and Xiulian only told their parents about it. There is nothing to boast about to outsiders at present; They can only wait to go to other counties to get their money back, let the brick factory reopen, and show Shuangshui Village that they have come out of the quagmire with facts.

Xiulian asked her husband a crucial question when she was preparing to go out. The key to reopening the brick factory this time is to invite a skilled master. If this problem is not solved well, it will definitely make things worse and they will never turn over again!

Shao An is very grateful to his wife for this important reminder. In the words of Sun Yuting, the second father, Xiulian grew up in the "great waves of struggle". He really became the "chief of staff" in his career.

My wife is right. Last time, it was that boastful Henan crock vendor who caused his catastrophe. If you want to open a brick factory, you must not repeat the same mistakes!

He immediately thought of another Henan native-the brick-burning master he used for the first time-and heard that he is now working in a village around Mijia Town. He will try to get his master back. They get along for a long time; His skills are also amazing. Shao an also thought that when the brick factory was re-launched, he could no longer just run sales promotion and do diplomacy; He should seriously learn all aspects of technology from this master, and he should be proficient. In this way, if the host has anything to do, he can start directly-he can find another way to run diplomacy ... these are all later words. When he repaid the loan of $3,000, he refinanced 1000, and started the next work ... A few days later, Shao installed himself as a "farmer entrepreneur", got up from home and went to Yuanbei County to get the loan of $3,000. Because this is a business trip from other places, Xiulian gave him an idea, bought a cap, and changed the big black leather bag into a handbag with a box. In addition, there is a pen in the wrinkled suit pocket, and the cap of the pen is shining silver on the chest. This looks like an "entrepreneur" with a very prosperous business. Sun Shaoan went to the county seat with great interest ... This time, old Sunman Hou Yu came out and came in in fear and trembling, looking alive. The old man waited anxiously for a letter from the second boy in Tongcheng.

The Shao 'an couple didn't know that their parents were also very eager to reopen their brick factory.

To tell the truth, when old Sunman Hou Yu heard that his son's brick factory had hope again, his heart was pounding with excitement in his chest.

My son's brick yard has collapsed until now, and after a year, the old man's hair is all white. In the final analysis, the son's disaster is also his disaster. Although separated, we will always be a family! Didn't he insist on separation in order to make his dear son have a good life?

My son decided to expand the brick yard, got a group of people from the village to work, and held a "lighting ceremony" to pave the way. The old man trembled with fear, and a wave of fear rose in his heart inexplicably. As a result, his hidden fears came true, and disaster came ... the brick yard collapsed, and he failed to help his son a lot in his early years, even bringing trouble to his children for life. Now, the children have made such a big disaster, and he still has to worry about it and can't help them!

In his life, no year is more difficult than this one. Don't! Whether I married Yu Ting in those days or my son-in-law was "re-educated through labor", it was nothing compared with my son's disaster!

For a year, he often worried himself to sleep all night. So is Shao 'an's mother. When she talked about this sadness, she couldn't help crying. The old couple can only be relatively silent and sigh. He doesn't know how many times he prayed in his heart to make Almighty God be merciful and save his son from the disaster. He even wondered: Is it because Shao An's twenty-four "Animal Year" didn't wear a red belt to ward off evil spirits, which caused this disaster? It's entirely possible! Alas, my son said it was superstition and didn't take it seriously. result ...

Now, when his son told him that he could borrow 3,000 yuan from another county, Lao Sunman Hou Yu immediately felt that the revenge of his son's fate of not wearing a red belt in his animal year might be over. Yes, it's been a year, and the punishment should come to an end.

Needless to say, Hou Yu was happy at once, and his happiness was not entirely due to the $3,000. It is based on his judgment that the fate punishment caused by the "Red Belt Incident" has ended.

The older he gets, the more he believes that there is an invisible force that holds the fate of everyone in the world; Even holds the fate of nature. For example, why does the land freeze when it is frozen and disappear when it is opened?

In any case, as long as the son can turn over, he will be elated; Even when I walk, my legs suddenly feel strong.

His first thought was that even though his son had repaid 3000 yuan, he still needed 1000 yuan. Not afraid! He has this 1000 yuan in his hand!

The second boy has been given pocket money almost every month since he became a coal miner. Besides buying fertilizer and other odds and ends, he has saved 1000 yuan now. Of course, Shao Ping reminded me more than once in his letter that the money was to save a new cave for him. He also intends to do as Shao Ping said. He originally planned to rock and roll this winter, and started to hoop the two caves next to the cave kiln where he lives in the new year, and connected a stone mouth to the old kiln by the way. In this way, a three-hole kiln with one line. The first hospital is a good place.

But now, he decided to give this 1000 yuan to his eldest son, and let him set up the brick yard again. He knew it was not easy for Shao An to borrow another thousand dollars! There is already a pile of debt behind the doll's ass. Who dares to lend him money again?

After making such a decision, I discussed such a thing with Shao.

What the fuck can Shao An say? Just say yes!

But the problem is that he must ask Shao Ping's permission-the money is actually not theirs, but the second boy's. Although he believed that Shao Ping would agree to give the money to his younger brother for use first, he still wanted the doll to vomit a word. When sons are old, old people should respect them. He and his wife also changed their children's names in the past two years; Instead of calling them nicknames like An An, Pingping and Xiang Xiang, they called them "Lao Zi is fine", "Second Dad is fine" and "Second Aunt is fine" in person ... The day after Shao An and Xiulian said that they could get a loan in another county, he and Lao Jian agreed to give their son this thousand dollars, and then he immediately gave it to Shao Ping.

By the way, old Sunman Hou Yu didn't ask his brother Sun Yuting to write this letter as usual.

The old man slyly remembered that Shao An still owed him fifty dollars in wages. If Yu Ting knew Shao An had the money at hand, he might poke it out and let He Fengying collect debts from Shao An. Hum! These two heartless things! I can't see my baby's life and death! A brother is certainly closer to his son than his son!

In this way, after some calculation, the old man Hou Yu crossed the Dongla River and found the primary school teacher Jin Cheng in the original breeding farm of the second team. It turned out that the cave in the school was destroyed by the dam and mountain explosion in Tian's past, so he moved to this place where donkeys were tied to horses. He dictated the content and asked Jincheng to write to Shao Ping. At that time, the old man thought that Jin Cheng and his son had plenty of money and would not make a fuss because he had 1000 yuan. It spread all over the village. Besides, the father and son are family friends and won't do such a thing. ...

Now, old Sunman Hou Yu is absently waiting for Shao Ping's reply. At the same time, he is also worried: can Shao An get that 3000 yuan back in another county? A few days later, Shao Ping's reply arrived.

Sure enough, as the old man expected, the sensible doll readily agreed to this matter; He also said that if there was an emergency, let his brother write to him directly, and he could lend his brother more money among the miners around him.

This can't happen again! How can we force the second boy to get into debt again?

Old man Sun immediately ran to Jincheng again and wrote to him, saying that everything was fine here. Never dare to borrow money from others again; Don't send money home these months. The old man still asked in the letter; Didn't he say he would go home in summer? Why don't you come back?

Coincidentally, the day after Shao Ping's letter arrived, Shao An also came back from the original North County. As soon as his son entered the door, the old man Hou Yu followed him and quickly asked, "How?"

"The loan is here!" The son said happily.

"How much is it?" He asked.

"Three thousand." Shao An said.

"You have to borrow another thousand dollars ..." Xiulian added.

"I brought you this thousand dollars."

Jade thick old man said, took out a bundle of RMB from his clothes pocket and put it on the kang mat of his son's house. His money was never deposited in the bank, but buried in the grain store. He reached in and took it out.

Shao An and Xiulian looked at their father and the bundle of money on the kang mat and froze.

Shao An seems to react to what is going on. He quickly said, "Dad! This money was given to you by Shao Ping. How can we use it? "

"Originally, I should choose to create a place for you. First, Shao Ping insisted that one person should be responsible for hoop kiln for you; Secondly, I was in a hurry, and then something happened. So, I have been very sad, so far I have not been able to build a new place for you. Now, Shao Ping has saved almost all the money for hoop kiln. How can we run a brick factory with this money? Dad, you take the money back. What I lack, I will find a way. Besides, we handed the money without saying anything, and I felt sorry for Shao Ping ... "

"Less flat has been back to the letter, call you. Also said that there are difficulties, please write to him, he can lend it to you in the coal mine ... "Yuhou old man picked up the money, opened the box opposite Xiao Mu and put it in for them.

Shao An turned his back and stood for a long time without talking, and his eyes could not help but spin out two tears. He was deeply grateful to his dear father and brother, and Xiulian wiped her tears with an apron over there. They once again felt the affection of flesh and blood; At the same time, I am extremely proud to have such a powerful brother as Shao Ping! Yes, what's the need to be discouraged? Words have plenty of strength! They also have a younger sister who is the envy of the whole Dongla River basin-she studies in the most "advanced" school in China! Sun Shaoan immediately felt light, as if he could fly. Without stopping, he turned to the north and came to Mijia Town to interrogate the Henan master who had previously burned bricks for him.

He soon knew the whereabouts of the man-in the village at the northern end of the town.

When he passed the bustling market in Mijia Town, he did not forget stop for a minute at the gate of the blacksmith shop. That year, he treated the animals in the team and had no place to live at night. He once spent the night in this blacksmith shop-it was also the kind Henan master who asked him to stay here. The blacksmith's shop is still tinkling and sparking, but it is not the second master of that year.

Sun Shaoan crossed the street and soon found his former brick-burning master in that village. Coincidentally, the master happened to finish his work here. But unfortunately, he is going to pack up and go back to his hometown in Henan. Sun Shaoan almost begged him to help him again; Even a few months. In order to impress the master, he also described in detail his tragic experience in the past year.

The Henan man was finally persuaded by him and followed him back to Shuangshui Village.

Sun Shaoan then ran to Shijie Street and hired several farmers from other villages as coolies. He's afraid to hire any more villagers, and now no one comes to work for him-he still owes money for his work!

One afternoon in autumn, the southern end of Shuangshui Village heard the roar of the brick-making machine again-this voice has been silent for a whole year.

The people in Shuangshui Village were shocked again! Who would have thought that Sun Shaoan, who rolled into the black ditch, would climb up again?

Yes, he stood up again. Although he has hit a wall, he once again took a hard step and embarked on the journey of starting a business again. People are often fragile; But people are the most tenacious!

10 days later, the first batch of brick kilns started to ignite.

Black smoke billowed fiercely into the sky and enveloped the southern sky again. Shuangshui village people are going to look here again.

Sun Shaoan and his brick factory have become the talk of the whole village again.

Of course, the satirist continued. However, as they talked, they looked anxiously at the black smoke rolling in the south end. As for those villagers who owe less money, they all earnestly hope that he can burn at least a few kiln bricks and return their money-this money is too important to them! Sun Shaoan and He Xiulian are busy with excitement.

Xiulian's stomach has grown up, but she is still operating outside the door; Not only do you cook for many people, but you also have to go to the brick factory to do things that your husband is too busy to do. Even if she can't help, she will turn to find loopholes for her husband to prevent any unexpected mistakes. However, before the first batch of bricks were burned out, they were facing a serious crisis-of course, it is not that the bricks were burned out again.

On this day, Hu Yonghe's friend, who was originally a loan from Shao 'an in North County, suddenly rushed to his door and asked Shao 'an to pay back the 3000 yuan loan immediately!

It turns out that as soon as Shao An left Yuanbei, some locals sued Yonghe's friends, saying that the 3000 yuan he borrowed was for people in other counties. The leaders of the Agricultural Bank of China in this county are angry! Money is so scarce now that it is difficult to borrow money in this county. How can people in other counties borrow money? He ordered the people below to get the loan back at once. Hu Yonghe's friends and Sun Shaoan don't know each other. He refused to pay back the money for him, so he rushed to his house and asked him to find a way at once, claiming that he would never be able to catch up in five days!

God, didn't this kill him? Where can he borrow this 3,000 yuan in such a short time? Just because he borrowed it for less than a year, he borrowed the money from other counties!

Sun Shaoan was frantic with anxiety. While entertaining a debt collector from another county with delicious food, the wife comforted her husband and said, "Don't worry, we'll find a way. Otherwise, let me go to Liulin again and let my father and brother-in-law try to borrow it for us ... ""The money I borrowed last time has not been returned! " Shao An leaned his head on his chest, squatted on his feet in frustration, and scratched the vamp with his hand.

"Otherwise, you go to the county to find him Zhou County!" Xiulian urged again.

Sun Shaoan thinks his wife's idea is a bit cunning. Maybe he can only find Zhou county magistrate to solve his difficulties. County magistrate Zhou was not in the county last time, and I hope to see him at least this time.

Dear Xiulian, pregnant, put him on the bus to Yuanxi. Before getting on the bus, she reassured him again and again, saying, "Go your way, don't worry. I want to deal with brick factories and debtors! Anyway, our brick factory is up again. You must not lose heart ... "

Shao An, encouraged by his wife, was ashamed of being a man for nothing. He immediately pulled himself together and ran to the county seat.

Unexpectedly, things went smoothly unexpectedly! Zhou county magistrate not only in the county, and immediately grabbed the phone on the desk, in a few words and the county agricultural bank agreed on this matter.

Shao An was so excited that he walked a little unbalanced. He twisted his legs like his second father and rushed to the Agricultural Bank of China. He quickly lent out 3000 yuan and returned home before dark. ...

The ice cracked and a river opened!

After the first batch of bricks came out of the kiln, they were sold out within three days. Pay back the money owed to everyone in the village immediately; The loan from Shanxi Liulin's wife and brother was also sent back immediately.

Having learned the lesson of failure, this collapsed brick factory developed at an amazing speed after taking off for the second time. By the end of 1983, Sun Shaoan had paid off all the principal and interest of the loans from two large banks. Brick factory production gradually entered full load operation. When it started in 1984, profits flowed into Sun Shaoan's pocket. ...
