Chapter 361 Prepare to return to the village
The next day, it was still dawn and the faint light of morning sun shone into the house through the gaps in the windows. Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo had already woken up early.
Wang Jianguo opened his sleepy eyes on the upper bunk. He was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head gently to wake himself up.
He stretched his neck and took a quick glance around the house. He found that the workers in the brick factory had already got up and left.
The whole room was empty, with only him and Zhao Shuzhuo left. It seemed that these workers had a very regular and hardworking work schedule.
In order to make a living, they have long been accustomed to getting up early and working in this harsh environment.
Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo did not dare to delay and quickly got up and simply tidied up their beds and their clothes.
They washed their faces with cold water and immediately felt much more energetic. After packing everything up, the two of them walked towards Director Liu's office together.
The brick kiln factory was quite large, and there was a long distance from where they lived to Director Liu's office.
There were piles of bricks and shabby work sheds on both sides of the road, and the air was filled with the smell of dirt and smoke.
However, this distance also made Wang Jianguo feel relieved, because in this way, they would not run into those two guys Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng.
Whenever Wang Jianguo thought of them, he felt disgusted. He didn't want to be ruined by these two people so early in the morning.
When they arrived at Director Liu's office, Director Liu was already waiting inside.
As soon as they entered the door, Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo smelled the aroma of food.
It turned out that Director Liu was a very considerate person. He had already taken into account that the two might not have had breakfast, and had already instructed the canteen to prepare breakfast.
At this moment, the steaming meal is placed on the table in the office.
When Director Liu saw the two people coming, he showed a warm smile on his face. He waved to them enthusiastically and greeted them:
"Come on, you've come just in time! I just asked the cafeteria to deliver the food, and I haven't eaten yet, so let's eat together."
"We don't have much good food here, but these are things that can fill your stomach. Just have a bite."
Zhao Shuzhuo quickly responded:
"Director Liu, please don't say that. This is already very good, and we are really grateful to you."
"You see, if it weren't for you, we might have to work on an empty stomach. In this difficult environment, this meal is like timely help to us."
After saying that, he pulled Wang Jianguo to the dining table, and the three of them sat down together and started eating breakfast.
In this simple office, the atmosphere at this moment was full of warmth, allowing Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo to feel the kindness and enthusiasm of Director Liu.
The early morning sun shines through the window onto the floor of Director Liu's office, and the breakfast on the table is emitting steam.
While eating breakfast with relish, Director Liu raised his head and looked at Wang Jianguo with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Comrade Jianguo,"
Director Liu swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke slowly.
"We need to discuss how to arrange the bricks you need to build your house this time. Are you planning to take them away together with those from the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"Or should we wait until you decide on the exact time to build the house and then take it away?"
"This has to be planned in advance. After all, the arrangements at the brick factory have to be organized, otherwise it's easy to get into chaos."
After hearing Director Liu's question, Wang Jianguo frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The scene of the village emerged in his mind, and he was thinking about the problem of storing the bricks after they were pulled back.
After a while, he raised his head, his eyes became firm, and said to Director Liu:
"Director Liu, I've thought about it and decided not to take it away for now. As you know, the situation in our village is quite complicated and the space is limited."
"If we pull the bricks back now, there is no place to store them, and we have to find a place to keep an eye on them. It's too troublesome."
"I plan to store the bricks at the brick factory first. When I return, I will plan carefully and decide where to build the house, and then I will come to get them."
"This will ensure the safety of the bricks and make arrangements in the village more orderly."
Director Liu listened carefully to Wang Jianguo's words, nodded, and said:
"Okay, that's a very thoughtful idea. Let me order the bricks you need, mark them and distinguish them from the other bricks."
"Whenever you need it, just tell me in advance. I can make sure you have bricks available at any time, so it won't delay your building of the house."
Wang Jianguo showed a grateful expression on his face and said quickly:
"Thank you very much, Director Liu. You really helped me a lot. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do with this brick. You are very thoughtful."
Director Liu smiled, waved his hand, and said:
"Don't be so polite. We are all here for the sake of development. It's only natural for us to help each other."
After saying that, he continued to eat his breakfast.
In this warm atmosphere, the three of them started talking about development.
We talked about the future planning of the brick factory, the direction of village construction, and the current trend of social development.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and Director Liu put forward some innovative ideas based on his rich management experience.
Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo started from the actual needs of the villagers and talked about the people's livelihood issues that need to be paid attention to in the development process.
Everyone was talking at once and the discussion was very lively.
Amidst laughter and chatter, time passed by unknowingly and breakfast was almost finished.
This breakfast time not only solved the brick problem, but also allowed the three of them to reach some consensus on development issues and deepened their friendship.
The warm breakfast time has just ended, and the office is still filled with the aroma of food.
Just then, a crisp knock on the door broke the brief silence in the house.
Director Liu put down the cutlery in his hand, stood up, walked towards the door with steady steps, then reached out and opened the door.
A young man was standing at the door. He was sweating profusely from running, and beads of sweat from his forehead were constantly sliding down his cheeks.
A few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead and cheeks. His chest was rising and falling violently, and he was obviously exhausted and out of breath after running all the way.
As soon as he saw Director Liu, he didn't even bother to rest and hurriedly took out a somewhat worn handkerchief from his pocket.
While wiping the beads of sweat off his face, he said to Director Liu anxiously:
"Director, the bricks have already been loaded into one truck as planned. There are two empty trucks left. Do you think we should fill up these two trucks as well?"
