Chapter 648 The First Happy Event
As she smiled, she gently patted her thighs with her calloused hands, as if to vent her inner excitement.
"I have lived in this village for most of my life. Since I was young, I have been looking at mud houses. When it rains, water leaks everywhere in the house. Pots and pans are scattered all over the floor. I can't sleep peacefully at night."
"Not to mention winter. When the wind blows, the cracks in the wall get filled with wind, freezing me so much that my bones ache."
Aunt Cheng paused slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of nostalgia for the difficult times in the past, and then she looked out the window with longing, as if she saw the scene of brick houses standing in rows in the future.
"I didn't expect it. Now the policies are so good, we ordinary people have hope for our lives. If this is true, then maybe I can really live in a brick house before I die, hahahaha."
That laughter was filled with infinite yearning for future life and infected everyone around him.
Wang Jianguo stood aside, with a tall and handsome figure. At this moment, his face was filled with a gentle smile. Seeing Aunt Cheng so happy, his heart was filled with relief.
He walked a few steps quickly to Aunt Cheng's side, bent down slightly, and said to her politely:
"Auntie Cheng, don't worry!"
Wang Jianguo's voice was gentle and firm, with a reassuring power.
"As for the brick factory, that's a done deal. When the weather warms up in the spring and the ground thaws, we'll start construction of our brick factory right away."
"Even though it's still snowy and icy, the workers are full of energy and will definitely work against the clock."
As Wang Jianguo spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if he were already at a bustling construction site.
"It will only take a few months at most to start production. Just imagine, the brand new red bricks are neatly stacked one by one and shipped out of the factory continuously. Ordinary people can buy them with money. How reassuring!"
At this point, Wang Jianguo's eyes lit up. He seemed to suddenly remember something and winked at Aunt Cheng mischievously.
"When the time comes, let Brother Cheng Hai be the first to build a brick house. Maybe he can even find you a beautiful daughter-in-law."
As soon as these words were spoken, they were like a piece of sweet candy, instantly sweetening Aunt Cheng's heart.
Aunt Cheng was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She reached out her hand, gently took Wang Jianguo's arm, and shook it back and forth. The smile on her face became more and more brilliant:
"Oh, Jianguo, you are such a thoughtful child. If that were true, I would have no regrets in my life."
When the people around heard this, they all started laughing. For a moment, the laughter in the kitchen seemed to be about to blow the roof off.
Everyone is immersed in the vision of a better life in the future, as if the good days are already within reach.
On a winter afternoon, the kitchen in the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative was warm, with wisps of smoke rising from the chimney and slowly drifting into the blue sky.
Inside the house, the square dining table, whose paint had peeled off due to years of wear and tear, was filled with people. Everyone's laughter and the crackling sound of the fire mixed together, creating a very lively atmosphere.
He Yushui sat near the stove, the fire reflected on her rosy face. A few strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat and sticked to her cheeks playfully.
