"It's easy to eat carrots and don't worry about it. You brats, wait until I find an opportunity to deal with you."
Han Haibin said, moved his body, pulled down the brim of his hat again, closed his eyes and rested.

Yangjiacun.
When Yang Lina and her gang arrived at Yangjia Village, Su Han and Chen Yue also followed.
A group of three cars parked at the entrance of the village, but their way was blocked by the river.
The disaster in Yang County was not very serious this time, but the arch bridge in Yangjia Village was washed away by the rapid river.
The three cars that came at the same time stopped on the other side of the river in Yangjiacun.
Because the brick and tile factory is on this side of the river, the collapse of the bridge will not affect the business of the brick and tile factory, but it will cause inconvenience to the villagers.
Moreover, if we want to build a school now, we have to pull materials from the village. It will definitely not work without a bridge.
For convenience, the villagers went to the back mountain to cut bamboo and built a simple wooden bridge using bamboo and tree trunks.
Usually when a car comes to the village, everyone would stand around and watch for a long time. This time, three cars suddenly appeared, which attracted the attention of the villagers.
When everyone saw Li Jingming and his wife coming out of the car, they crossed the bridge excitedly and scrambled to pack cigarettes for Li Jingming and his companions.
Within a few minutes, people from the brick and tile factory also noticed that there were people around here. Zhao Wenhu, Li Jingcheng, and Zhang Kaikai usually managed the brick and tile factory. They noticed something was going on at the entrance of the village, and the three of them came after hearing the sound.
When Li Jingcheng saw that his eldest brother was standing by the river with a group of noble people, gesticulating something, Li Jingcheng's nervous heart immediately relaxed and he called out "brother" excitedly.
Li Jingcheng ran over and saw that Su Han was there. He stretched out his hand towards Su Han and politely called out: "Brother Su."
Su Han nodded and said, "Brother Jingcheng, long time no see."
Li Jingcheng then nodded towards Su Zhanpeng and Xue Yurou, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to the men present.
"Dad, this is my brother."
Li Jingming introduced Li Jingcheng to Su Zhanpeng, and Li Jingcheng's hand to take out the cigarette paused momentarily when he heard the sound of "Dad" and looked at Li Jingming with a puzzled look on his face.
Was he hallucinating?
Just now my eldest brother seemed to call this man dad.
Li Jingming naturally knew that Li Jingcheng was confused. He patted Li Jingcheng's shoulder with his big hand and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you later when I sit down."
Li Jingcheng didn't know whether the "you" his eldest brother meant were his family members or the group of people in front of him.
He put away the doubts in his eyes and continued to smoke for everyone.
After a lap, half the pack of cigarettes in my hand was gone.
"The three of them are the directors of my brick and tile factory.
This is Zhang Kaikai, a brother who grew up wearing a pair of trousers, and this is my brother’s comrade Zhao Wenhu, who is cooperating with us to set up a brick and tile factory.”
Li Jingming also introduced Zhang Kaikai and Zhao Wenhu.
"Hello."
Su Zhanpeng said, taking the initiative to reach out and shake hands with the two of them.
The villagers on the side looked at the group of clean and gorgeous outsiders in front of them with envy.
You can tell from their accents that these people are not locals.
Villager A held a cigarette in his hand and said: "Brother Jingming, where have you been during this time? With this heavy rain, we were afraid that your brick and tile factory would be washed away by the flood. We were almost frightened. Fortunately, your factory
If anything happens, you can just come back, at least you can rest assured."
"Uncle, I went outside for something during this period, and I wanted to come back in a hurry, but the way back was blocked by the flood, so I stayed outside for more than ten days.
My mother told me on the phone that you have worked hard this time, and I can’t thank you enough."
Li Jingming said as he filled another cigarette for the person in front of him.
Villager B said: "Our county is lucky this time. Our village was not flooded. However, the bridge collapsed and the school collapsed. We are wondering if you can sell your bricks to us cheaper. We as a whole village will raise funds."
Build a school for the children?”
Villager B looked a little embarrassed when he asked this question.
Usually the whole village, and even the people in the surrounding villages, depend on this brick and tile factory for their livelihood. They are embarrassed to ask Li Jingming to make the bricks cheaper, but building a school costs a lot of money. Even if they can scrape together the money,
You may not be able to get enough.
"Don't worry, everyone, why is my brick and tile factory built in the village?
That's just so that I and everyone else can have something to eat.
If the school collapses, I will be responsible for it, and everyone can just do their best.
Building schools is a good thing that benefits the people. You can use as many bricks as you want, and I won't charge you a penny."
As soon as Li Jingming said this, the surrounding villagers were shocked, and some of them almost threw Li Jingming up.
A child on the side jumped up excitedly after hearing this.
"It's great, great, the cripple is going to build a school for us."
After the child finished yelling, he ran away while yelling.
He ran across the wooden bridge and across the fields, shouting as he ran toward the village.
Li Jingming didn't care about the child's name. He looked at the child's back, then at the little wife beside him, and silently held her hand.
"The people who came with me today are relatives of my wife. They decided to donate a school to Yangjiacun, and the bricks to build the school were bought for free from our factory.
In addition, I am responsible for paying for the bridge in front of me, and everyone is responsible for contributing. What do you think?"
After Li Jingming finished speaking, the villagers excitedly smoked Su Zhanpeng and Su Han again. What seemed so noble in their eyes was that the big boss struggled to say thank you and shake hands, trying to get a little noble.
Su Han was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm in front of him, so he could only nod and smile politely.
Su Lin and Chen Yue on the side were holding Huahua's hands. They were infected by the scene in front of them and looked at each other and smiled.
The people living on this green land may have had disagreements with each other as neighbors before, but at this moment, everyone seems to have consciously become one and face everything after the disaster together.
Everyone was busy for a long time. Li Jingcheng and Zhao Wenhu opened their doors and helped Su Han carry the gifts in the trunk of the car and walked towards the wooden bridge.
"Are you afraid?"
Li Jingming looked at the shoulder-wide wooden bridge in front of him and asked Yang Lina with concern.
"Not afraid."
Yang Lina shook her head firmly.
Li Jingming crossed the wooden bridge with Huahua in his arms and tightly holding Yang Lina's hand with one hand.
Xue Yurou, Chen Yue and Su Lin also crossed the bridge safely.
In the village, the little boy had already spread the news about Li Jingming's construction of the school.
After a while, Zhu Xiumei also heard the news and hurried into Wang Ying's house.
Wang Ying and Sun Yuxiu had just finished bathing Ya Dan in the side room, and they were putting clothes on Ya Dan's body.
Zhu Xiumei ran out of breath, panting and said anxiously: "His aunt, Jing, Jingming and Lina are back and said they are going to build a school for the children in our village."
