No one expected to encounter such a situation just after starting work. This is really a bad start.

Lying in front of the machine was a man with messy hair. He was one of the five people brought by Da Jinya, and he was also the technician in charge of repairing the machine.

His name is Wang Dachuan. He usually doesn't have to work and is only responsible for operating equipment. He likes to drink. Yesterday he drank the most. He went to bed after drinking. Even the big gold tooth couldn't do anything to him.

Yang Lei tried to ask Da Jinya whether he should change his technician. How could someone like this who drinks every day do a good job?

But Da Jinya just waved his hand and said: "It's not easy to find such a technician. Who wants to come to this remote village, so just be content."

It doesn’t matter whether you are content or dissatisfied.

The official start of work was two days later. The machine was finally able to operate normally. Grains of river sand were extracted from the river beach along the conveyor belt on the machine and discharged directly to an open space for further cleaning and processing. Finally, the sand trucks were able to pull the sand.

Use it on the construction site.

When Zhang Guoquan had nothing to do, he would come to the river beach to help, and discussed with Da Jinya which piece of river sand to extract first, so that he could temporarily have a piece of land to grow crops.

Seeing that autumn is approaching, the next season of wheat can be planted when the corn matures. The corn will definitely not be able to catch up. He can only try to let Da Jinya free up some land so that he can plant wheat in the next season and free it before then.

The more land, the better.

Da Jinya patted his chest to ensure that he would not be hungry this winter.

Yaoyao returned to the city, and Zhang Guoquan was happy that his ears were clean. Without her chattering around, he could focus more on the wasteland that exposed the land.

He is not afraid of hard work. He goes out early and comes back late every day. Even if the machine stops, he will not stop. He is busy cleaning out the excess floating sand on the deserted beach. These floating sand are not easy to clean. They mix with the silt below and turn black.

.

Da Jinya said that the river sand mixed with the silt was of no value. There was not much river sand like this, and it was laborious to clean up. It was a thankless job.

Originally there were not enough manpower, so they had to put most of their energy into collecting more river sand.

Zhang Guoquan naturally agreed. He could only do such troublesome and time-consuming things by himself.

Bai Ge would also help, and Zhang Guoquan was willing to let her do whatever she could. The young couple worked hard for a happy future together, and they did not feel tired. On the contrary, they were happy and satisfied every day.

Yaoyao came back half a month later. When she came back, her face was very ugly. The delicate makeup on her face was all gone. She must have cried all the way.

She was very quiet when she came back this time, squatting on the river bank, and just quietly watching Zhang Guoquan and Bai Ge working together.

As she watched, she suddenly burst into tears again.

Da Jinya walked over and comforted him a few words, but it had no effect.

After a busy day, the machine broke down again. In the past half month or so, Zhang Guoquan counted it and found that it broke down almost a dozen times, almost once a day.

It took half a month to collect dozens of square meters of river sand.

It was approaching evening, and several workers were tired. While Wang Dachuan was repairing the machine, they leaned on the sand, smoking and chatting.

"Boss Li, are these machines of yours good?" Zhang Guoquan complained: "I'm afraid these machines of yours are second-hand ones."

Da Jinya still looked unhurried and explained: "Machines are very tight these days, so it would be good to have second-hand ones."

Usually I would use these words to frustrate Zhang Guoquan, but every time I saw Yang Lei, I would happily stick to him and ask Yang Lei for subsidies.

It had been given to him once, but it was not enough. Da Jinya said it was too far behind and asked Yang Lei to continue running the matter.

Yang Lei had no choice but to try his best to meet his needs so that Golden Tooth could devote more energy to mining river sand. Fortunately, the superiors gave great support to this matter.

Night falls, and the starry sky shines brightly.

Yaoyao set up a tent in the yard and lay in it with her butt sticking out. She carefully arranged the decorations she brought back from the city in the tent.

Zhang Guoquan, who came out to pour water, looked suspicious: "It's just a temporary sleep. As for dressing up so carefully? It will be put away tomorrow."

Yaoyao turned around, sat at the entrance of the tent, hugged her legs, and rested her chin on her knees: "You are such an unromantic person, you wouldn't understand."

Zhang Guoquan didn't understand her romance. He remembered how sadly she cried during the day. While pouring the water, he asked casually: "Why did you cry like that during the day?"

Yaoyao suddenly became a little sad. She raised her brows and looked at the bright starry sky. She asked Zhang Guoquan: "What kind of love is beautiful?"

Zhang Guoquan paused while holding the basin. He had never understood the word "love". He wondered if the current situation between him and Bai Ge was considered love?

Yaoyao murmured to herself: "I've been looking for him for half a month, but he just doesn't want to see me. Why are you men so cruel? He really doesn't want me anymore and has abandoned me. He doesn't love me even if he says he doesn't love me."

Only then did Zhang Guoquan understand that she had gone to find her former boyfriend during the past half month. Maybe the boyfriend had made up his mind and no longer wanted to have anything to do with Yaoyao, so Yaoyao burst into tears when she came back today.

"Zhang Guoquan, do you know why I sleep in a tent? Do you know why I don't take the trouble to decorate the tent so beautifully every time?"

Zhang Guoquan naturally didn't know, he knew very little about this little girl.

"Because when I was young, my parents divorced. My parents asked my brother and I to choose who to marry. My brother and I had such a good relationship, and my brother and I were suddenly separated. Neither of us knew how to choose."

Once this choice is made, it may be impossible to see him again for the rest of his life. It is indeed too difficult for the two children.

"Later, my parents had their own homes, and my brother and I didn't want to stay in our own homes. It was my brother who brought me up."

This made Zhang Guoquan a little surprised. He didn't expect that under such a rough image, Da Jinya had such a soft heart. He didn't know why Yaoyao suddenly mentioned her life experience?

"Actually, no one knows how my brother brought me up."

The next words made Zhang Guoquan feel mixed in his heart, and he didn't even know how to evaluate a person like Da Jinya.

Yaoyao said: "My brother has learned to steal since he was a child. He was caught and beaten. But he was still young at that time. He had no choice but to steal. Everyone thought my brother was a bad person, but I was the only one.

You know, he did that just to keep me alive."

"Because I didn't want to go back to that strange home, from that time on, my brother and I lived a wandering life. On good days, we would have a tattered tent that we picked up, but it was enough to keep out the wind and rain.

My brother has grown up to be able to make money. He thought he would have a stable family, but he still has to take me around to make money. He said he wants to make a lot of money..."

"Zhang Guoquan, do you think my brother is a bad person?" Yaoyao just looked at the starry sky and asked casually. She didn't want to hear Zhang Guoquan's exact evaluation because she had her own judgment.

Zhang Guoquan was stunned for a long time and never gave Yaoyao an answer.

Only now did he understand why Yaoyao slept in a tent and why she arranged the tent beautifully before going to bed. It was all because Yaoyao regarded the tent as her home. This was her home, and she had to prepare the tent before going to bed.

, only after doing these rituals can you feel at ease.

It turns out that under Yaoyao's carefree appearance, what she ultimately longs for is a stable home, without having to wander around with her brother and live a homeless life.

An inexplicable sadness spread in the darkness. Yaoyao stood up and suddenly hugged Zhang Guoquan. This sudden hug made Zhang Guoquan's heart beat faster on the spot.

"Zhang Guoquan, I feel so uncomfortable. I feel that this world is not good to me at all." Yaoyao sobbed softly.

Zhang Guoquan tensed up, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort the little girl.

"It will pass, it will pass." He could only comfort the other party with such simple words.

Fortunately, Bai Ge called him in the room, which brought him back to reality from this dissociated emotion.

He told Yaoyao to rest quickly and not think too much, and then walked into the house.

If he hadn't been shrouded in Yaoyao's sadness that night, and if Bai Ge hadn't suddenly called him, making him inexplicably nervous, then if he thought about it carefully, he should have been able to understand the unknown truth about Big Gold Tooth from Yaoyao's words.
