"Only Tian Haimin in Shuangshui Village can drive a tractor, and Tian Haimin is the tractor driver in the village."
"You can learn it if you don't know how. It's not difficult to drive a tractor."
"Then I will engage in transportation from now on?"
"Yes, you will be engaged in transportation from now on. You usually pull some construction materials to the construction site. Even if you can't get any work, I am going to open a furniture factory here. Once the factory is opened, your work will be indispensable."
"Brother-in-law, you want to open a furniture factory?"
Wang Manyin just wanted to say that he could guarantee that Sun Shaoan would definitely make money by engaging in transportation. Sun Shaoan obviously did not pay attention to the key point.
"Yes, I went to the city today to find Mancang Party Secretary. The village will approve the land for the factory in the evening, and we will start building the factory in the next few days. You should also seize the time to build your own cave house. If you don't have enough money,
If we take it from our family, the tiger will grow up soon and won’t even have a home of his own.”
Setting up a factory is also a big deal. Since it was mentioned, Wang Manyin told his brother-in-law what it was like.
"Brother-in-law, if you want to engage in transportation, the family money will be reserved to buy a tractor. It won't be too late to buy a tractor when you make money from the cave dwelling."
"When you make money again, I still don't know what you want to do. The cave dwelling has been hooped and moved in early. Your money bought a tractor. Don't be afraid that you can't pay it back. The tractor is the same as the mule you sold before.
When you sell it, it’s still money, and it’s still an asset.”
"Brother-in-law, you need money to open a factory, so I'd better wait..."
"Why wait? There is no need to wait. The family is not short of money. Your Shaoping is already twenty-two years old and has reached the age to propose marriage. The whole family only has one cave dwelling. How can anyone propose marriage to Sun Shaoping?
"
It doesn't matter whether Sun Shaoping gets married or not, and Wang Manyin doesn't care either. This is just an excuse for Wang Manyin to want Sun Shao'an to make up his mind and build a cave dwelling as soon as possible.
For a person like Sun Shaoan, who knows what he will do next if he doesn't force him. It's not surprising that he might lend all the money he makes to other people in the village.
It's not that you can't lend money to the villagers. Some villagers are in urgent need, some villagers borrow money to buy fertilizers for production, and some children go to school and invest in education. There is no problem with this.
However, there are always some people who like to live in idleness, borrow money to make ends meet, and repay the money they borrowed based on their own abilities. Why should they pay back the money?
Sun Yuhou and Sun Shaoan were both kind-hearted people, and they also had the mentality of showing off after the Sun family turned over, and would not refuse anyone who came to borrow money.
"Then make a few cave holes."
"That's right, let's go inside and discuss the kiln matter with Dad and Xiulian."
Strike while the iron is hot, so as to avoid Sun Shaoan's recurrence, Wang Manyin is ready to finalize the matter now.
Wang Manyin took Sun Shaoan back to the house and announced Shaoan's decision to hoop the kiln to all the Sun family except Lan Xiang, who was studying in the county.
"Shaoan, have you finally decided to hoop a kiln?"
The happiest person was of course He Xiulian. After the announcement, Xiulian still had an expression of disbelief.
"Shaoan, you should have built a cave dwelling long ago. Dad has had this idea for a long time. Now that you have some money, you should have built a place to live. These are the responsibilities of the old man. Dad has no ability and did not build it for you.
A home. Now you have dug and earned two dollars to build a place. Does your father still support you? If you want to build it, do it as soon as possible."
Sun Yuhou and Sun Laohan also expressed their absolute support for Shaoan.
It is obvious that Old Man Sun is a down-to-earth, simple and responsible farmer, and his real idea is to let Sun Shaoan hoop the cave dwelling.
Rather than building a brick kiln, building a brick kiln is simply a father's support for his son.
"Shaoan, you are finally going to have your own home. The most worrying thing for Mom these past few years is that you live in the breeding room with the animals and don't even have your own home."
Lanhua's mother was also very happy, smiling and laughing almost to the point of crying. What mother doesn't want her child to be better and better.
Sun Shaoping's reaction was mediocre. It wasn't that he didn't have a brother named Sun Shaoan, but Sun Shaoping's heart was not here at all. How could he care about such things in the village if he wanted to escape from the countryside.
After deciding to have a kiln, of course there was no small talk, all we talked about was the kiln.
Of course, the location must be good. After all, a cave dwelling is not a bungalow. It must have a good cliff location first.
After discussion, the Sun family father and son decided to choose the location of their new residence at the base of a cliff near the highway.
Not only is the soil here hard, but according to the late Mi Yinyang of Mijia Town, the feng shui of this place couldn't be better.
There are two jade belts in front - the highway and the Dongla River, and five earthen platforms on the west mountain are lined up in the shape of five lotus flowers.
No one had built a house here before, mainly because the place was outside the village.
The more Wang Manyin listened, the more he felt that this was the place where Sun Shaoan would build a cave dwelling in the future.
Even if there is no brick kiln, this place will still be chosen. In the future, it will be used for transportation and the proximity to the highway will also be an advantage. In the future, the villagers will not stay in the village all the time. Compared with convenience, there is no need to crowd in the village.
And Wang Manyin always felt that Sun Shaoan had been thinking about the hoop kiln for more than a day or two. He had already taken a liking to this place.
"Shao'an, are we going to be a clay kiln, a brick kiln, or a stone kiln?"
Although Wang Manyin promised that the Sun family could build stone kilns and brick kilns, any money they needed could be borrowed from Wang Manyin's house.
But Sun Shaoan chose to save because he didn't have much money.
Prepare three hoops. The most popular joint kiln in rural areas now is to connect the brick opening to the outside of the earthen kiln. From the outside, the cave dwelling looks like a brick kiln, which saves money and is beautiful.
Sun Shaoan made a decision. Because earth kilns, brick kilns, and stone kilns each have their own advantages, Wang Manyin did not force Sun Shaoan to change his mind.
When Wang Manyin opened a furniture factory, the cave dwelling he wanted to build was also an interface cave dwelling, which was exactly the same as Shaoan's idea.
Excavation of earthen cave dwellings is a highly technical task, and at least one expert must be hired to recruit additional workers. The most outstanding expert in earthen cave dwellings in Shuangshui Village is Jin Junwen.
But Jin Junwen is not an ordinary person now. After Jin Fu "made a fortune", Jin Junwen no longer valued a few dollars a day, and Jin Junwen could no longer be hired.
Jin Junwen only did some light work in the mountains, leaving all the heavy work in the fields to his second son Jin Qiang.
When it was time for the Shige Festival, Jin Junwen dressed up and went for a walk on the dirt streets of the Shige Festival. Then he went to Hu Defu's restaurant to eat a plate of pig head meat and drink some wine. He lived a happy life.
But for northern Shaanxi, every village has a master who is good at making clay kilns. Shaoan went to Wangjiazhuang to hire one.
