Chapter 363 Rewarding Everyone
"Brother Hai, don't worry. Even if I don't know the way to the brick kiln factory, Brother Zhao will definitely know."
"He took me there, how could he get lost?"
As Wang Jianguo spoke, he patted Cheng Hai on the shoulder, trying to make him completely put his mind at ease.
Cheng Hai still looked serious and said solemnly:
"You don't know, the last time the captain went to the brick kiln factory was several years ago."
"Besides, we passed by there together that time, but we just passed by and didn't go in. After such a long time, I'm really worried that he won't remember the way."
"You didn't come back the whole night last night. I was so anxious that I was like an ant on a hot pot."
"I've been thinking about it over and over again, and the more I think about it, the more worried I get. I'm ready to go find you this afternoon. What if something really happens to you?"
As Cheng Hai spoke, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of worry, as if the long wait last night had reappeared before his eyes.
Seeing this, Wang Jianguo hurriedly smiled and comforted:
"Brother Hai, you don't have to worry anymore. Not only am I back safely, but there's also good news! I brought back a truckload of bricks this time."
When Cheng Hai heard this, his frown instantly relaxed, his face lit up with joy, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to say:
"Really? Where is the brick? Take me to see it!"
As he spoke, he pulled Wang Jianguo's arm and unconsciously walked towards the door.
He looked so eager, like a child about to see his favorite toy.
Wang Jianguo was pulled by Cheng Hai and walked two steps. He smiled and replied:
"It's right outside the door, Brother Hai. That's a truck full of bricks. This time we finally have the materials to build our house."
As they were talking, the two of them were already walking quickly towards the door, and Cheng Hai's eyes were full of anticipation.
It seems that I can already see the bricks shining in the sun. That is their hope for building a house.
Wang Jianguo's words were like a gust of wind. As soon as they fell, Cheng Hai rushed out the door impatiently like a ignited rocket.
His footsteps were quick and powerful, causing a small cloud of dust to fly up. He looked so anxious, as if there was an inestimable treasure waiting for him outside the door.
Even the masters who were concentrating on digging the foundation were attracted by Cheng Hai's sudden action.
They were stunned at first, then put down the tools in their hands. The shovels and hoes fell to the ground with a clang, splashing some dust.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity, and then ran out with Cheng Hai without hesitation.
The scene was like a group of people chasing the light of hope.
Wang Jianguo looked at their hurried appearance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he followed slowly out from behind.
As soon as I went out, I saw Cheng Hai jumping onto the truck in one step.
He moved very agilely, standing in the truck bed like a spirited general standing on his own chariot.
Cheng Hai reached out and grabbed the cloth covering the bricks. He lifted it up with force, and the cloth slowly slid off like a sealed scroll.
In an instant, a truck full of bricks appeared before everyone, and the bricks were neatly stacked in the truck bed.
Under the sunlight, it emits a faint red glow, and each brick seems to be telling a story of how hard it was to come by.
Cheng Hai looked at the truckload of bricks and his eyes suddenly lit up like two bright stars.
His face turned red with excitement, as if he was drunk, and he couldn't help but slap his thigh hard. The "slap" sound was particularly loud in the quiet yard.
He said loudly:
"Oh, Jianguo, you are so capable! Look, there are so many bricks! These are all our treasures for building the cafeteria!"
Cheng Hai's voice was full of surprise and admiration, echoing in the air.
When Wang Jianguo heard Cheng Hai's praise, he quickly waved his hand, smiled modestly, and said:
"Brother Hai, don't say that. I don't have that ability. This is all because of Director Song's approval."
"You know how valuable bricks are now. If it weren't for Director Song's favor, we wouldn't have been able to get so many bricks."
"This is all thanks to Director Song."
After hearing what Wang Jianguo said, Cheng Hai laughed and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, we have to thank Director Song. However, this is also thanks to you and the captain for making this hard trip."
"It must have been an difficult journey for you, as you had to rush on the road and communicate and coordinate with the brick factory."
"That's good. With these bricks, we have hope of building a cafeteria. These bricks are enough, and our cafeteria will soon be able to go from blueprint to reality!"
As Cheng Hai spoke, he jumped off the truck, his eyes never leaving the bricks, as if he had already seen the bustling scene after the canteen was built in the future.
Wang Jianguo nodded solemnly. He knew very well that driver Xiao Zhang's time was precious and he couldn't be delayed too long because of unloading bricks.
So, he looked at Cheng Hai and said sincerely:
"Brother Hai, we have to hurry up and unload these bricks. Driver Xiao Zhang has come a long way to deliver the bricks, it must be very hard work."
"There are other tasks ahead. We can't affect his work. We have to let him go back early."
Cheng Hai agreed with what he said, and immediately turned around and said loudly to the several house builders who were resting nearby:
"Masters, we need a favor! Let's lend a hand and unload these bricks together."
"Thank you all for your hard work today. If it weren't for our concerted efforts, building the cafeteria wouldn't have been so smooth."
These house-building masters are all fellow villagers from nearby villages. They have deep friendships with each other and are used to helping each other on a daily basis.
Hearing Cheng Hai's call, they all became energetic and rolled up their sleeves without saying a word.
Showing his strong arms, he walked quickly towards the truck, ready to do some big work.
I saw some masters standing directly next to the truck bed, bending down, picking up a pile of bricks, and walking towards the unloading point with steady steps.
The heavy bricks were like obedient children in their arms; some masters worked in pairs.
One person handed it in the truck bed, and the other received it under the truck. They cooperated very well and shouted "one, two, one, two" from time to time.
It adds a lively atmosphere to this intense work.
For a while, the scene of unloading bricks was in full swing. Everyone was sweating profusely, but no one complained of being tired.
