It is already a natural thing for brothers to separate families, or fathers and sons to separate families, in the countryside, compared with other families, Shao'an and his sister-in-law have been married to them for several years, and it is not easy, and now they want to set up a separate family, no matter how it is to blame.

Shen Long could see that Shao'an was very sad in his heart, Shen Long understood his feelings, the Sun family had been poor for several generations, and now that a new cave had been built and a brick factory had been built, the situation could finally be better, and he also wanted his family to live a good life with him.

However, both the old man Yuhou and his daughter-in-law Xiulian opposed him doing this, Xiulian followed Shao'an and suffered for several years and wanted to live a more relaxed life, while the old man Yuhou was unwilling to drag the two of them down; Shao'an felt sad about this, and there was a faint anger, can't the family live a good life?

It is inevitable that there will be blame for this younger brother, if he still stays in Shuangshui Village and burns the kiln with him, so that he and Xiulian can be more relaxed, and his father will not have to work so hard.

"Big brother, don't think too much about the separation of the family. Dad's consideration is right, you and my sister-in-law should be living alone now...... There are actually not many people in the family! My dad and I can sustain it! Shen Long comforted Shao'an, and after talking for a long time, Shao'an felt that the huge mental pressure caused to him by the separation of the family for many days seemed to have been alleviated a little.

"By the way, brother, I brought you something from Huangyuan this time." After Shen Long finished speaking, he began to take out things from his pockets, clothes and food had already been given, and now it was something else.

"It's not easy for you to make money outside, just keep the money yourself, you don't have to buy anything for us." Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Shao'an was a little distressed, in his heart, Shaoping had no way in Huangyuan, what else could he do except work and sell coolies? He couldn't bear to let his brother spend money for himself, and besides, didn't he already give so much?

"Brother, it's not something else, I went to the Huangyuan Library to check some information, and then went to the factory to ask those old workers, they said that if the brick kiln was changed like this, it would save more firewood, and the brick waste burned out would be much less." Shen Long took out a stack of drawings and handed them to Sun Shao'an, which was the result of his drawings during this time.

After all, burning bricks is a chemical reaction, he looked at Shao'an's brick kiln before, and came up with many ways to improve, but he couldn't find an excuse to mention it at the time, and now there is a reason to go out.

"You see, let's change it like this, it won't take much effort, and we can save thirty percent of firewood at once, which is not a lot of money." The lack of vegetation on the Loess Plateau, the biggest expense of the brick kiln is fuel and labor, and now Shao'an and Xiulian carry it themselves, and when they are busy, the old man also comes to help.

Even if it was too busy, it would not be better until Shao'an went to pull Han Niu, the stupid son of Tian Er, a fool in the village, over to help, but there was no way to save the cost of fuel.

"I'll see." Sun Shaoan took the drawings, squatted on the ground and smoked his own roll of dry stick cigarettes and pondered, the drawings are simple, but people can see at a glance, and the side is supplemented with easy-to-understand words, with Sun Shao'an's experience accumulated in the kiln, he vaguely realized that maybe this method can really work.

"Hey, I should have let you go to college again, it's a pity that you didn't study well." Sun Shao'an sighed, stood up, went to the brick kiln to take a look, took the drawings and compared the changes to the places, and felt more and more reliable, "It just so happens that I plan to make up the kiln recently, and I will do it together by the way." ”

"I'm here to help you! Wait for the next kiln bricks to be burned and then leave, if there is any situation, I will go back to check the information and ask the master. Shen Long said, although the method is simple, Shao'an is still a little worried about doing it alone.

"You might as well stay in the village, let's burn bricks together, isn't it better than you wandering in Huangyuan?" Sun Shao'an brought up the old words again, and Shen Long refused with a smile, so it was still called a separation.

After appeasing Sun Shao'an and discussing the matter of repairing the kiln, Shen Long returned to the old cave of the Sun family, helped his grandmother look at her body, handed over the medicine she had prepared to her mother, and asked her to secretly give it to her grandmother every day; If she gave it directly to her grandmother, she would be reluctant to eat it, and she was reluctant to eat the medicine she bought for her in the early years after it expired.

Then he found the old man Yuhou, took out some tobacco from his bag and lowered it, this matter can also be mentioned, "This is a little tobacco given by others, I think it is better than my own planting, so I asked him for some seeds, you smoke it first and try it, if you really think it is good, we will change to this tobacco leaf seed in the future." ”

The old man didn't care about Shen Long's words, when it came to tinkering with tobacco leaves, whether it was planting or drying and concocting, he was one of the best people in Shuangshui Village, he had his own pride and persistence in his own technology, and he didn't believe that the tobacco that Shen Long took out was better than his own.

But this is his own child specially brought back from outside, Yuhou old man smoked the tobacco in the cigarette pouch pot in a few bites, looked at the cigarette pouch knocked off the cigarette ash, twisted a little tobacco and stuffed it into the cigarette pouch pot, "Hey, it smells good." ”

Lit and smoked a few puffs, the taste was unusually good, Shen Long hurriedly handed over the intact tobacco leaves and seeds, and the old man took the tobacco leaves and observed them carefully, it was not that his craftsmanship was inferior to others, but the problem of seeds, this kind of tobacco leaves were much better than the varieties he planted in the past.

Farmers naturally like all kinds of good seeds, and the old man Yuhou carefully harvested the tobacco seeds given by Shen Long, planning to replace half of the tobacco field with this kind of seed when spring begins next year.

After all, it is a seed that has never been planted, and the old man Yuhou must inevitably be careful, this is not because he is timid, but because the poverty of the family makes the Sun family unable to withstand any risks, although the tobacco field is small, it supplies him and Shao'an with tobacco, and when you rush to the market, you can also get the Shibijie Commune to exchange for some living money, so as to buy oil and salt.

If the new seeds cannot be planted, then the money for oil and salt next year will have to be found in another way; However, if it can be grown, the money from selling tobacco can rise a little, and the money can be used more leniently.

Seeing the old man accept it, Shen Long was temporarily relieved, the new brick kiln and the new seeds, the family can be better off, and now the only headache is probably my sister Sun Lanhua, right? That damn Wang Manyin didn't know where he was again.

As soon as he thought of this superb relative, Shen Long had a big head for a while, and the things at home were easy to solve, even if there was no help from himself, the old man Yuhou and Shao'an could take care of the family properly, but it was not easy for my sister to do it!
