vines and melons

Chapter 49

Later, Guizhi went to the shoe factory to pick up odd jobs for Fang Jie to do at home. Without a sewing machine, Fengnian brought his own.

The windshield on the kiln door shoots the warm winter sun into the kiln as a beam of light, and the beam of light is like a microscope, clearly illuminating the particles of dust in the air.

Fang Jie was working on the heels of her shoes on the sewing machine.

Gui Zhi cut the threads and tidied up.

The mother and daughter were busy, Fang Qiang said that a car would come in the afternoon to take away the cement bags in the kiln.

This spring, Fang Qiang lowered the price of cement bags and needed to stock up. He borrowed the large kiln from Guizhi’s family. He said that the rent would be 10 yuan per month for at most two months.

Gui Zhi said, as long as it doesn't delay my cleaning up the kiln.

Before last year, Guizhi pulled a few bricks and ordered them in the courtyard. She wanted to wait until the wheat was finished, and then reinforce the big kiln with a few hoops, and then grab the broken gray skins and paint them white.When the girl is grown up, the child should be given a more decent environment.

Fang Qiang promised that he would not delay the matter, and he would definitely give the money.

That is to say, the cement bag was left for more than half a year, and no money was given.

Guizhi was in a hurry to clean up the kiln, and urged him twice, but Fang Qiangguang promised not to pay if he didn't do anything.

Now, Fang Qiang turned his face away and left without talking about money.

Fang Jie stopped pedaling on the sewing machine, groped for the heel of her shoe, looked at Shu Yuanqian's back and remembered that he had secretly changed the land use certificate and planted trees on the roof of her kiln... Don't call one place! She said, uncle didn't mention the matter of paying the rent anymore, and it probably disappeared!
Gui Zhi said: "If you give it, you can accept it, if you don't give it, forget it!"

"Uncle occupies the kiln for business to earn money, and not for his own use, so why not pay rent?!" Fang Jie said, "If you don't want to give money and say it clearly, this kind of behavior that you don't want to give and don't tell is obviously bullying! What's more, it will delay our family's cleaning up of the kiln!"

Gui Zhi said: "Look down and see, you can't be too serious."

"One yard is worth one yard. If you come to pull it in the afternoon, I'll get it for him!" Fang Jie said, "You can go out after lunch, don't worry about it!" Fang Jie thought, since she is not young anymore, she should take care of the house.

Gui Zhi knew that Fang Qiang would not give money, he was famous for his iron cock dipped in sugar and sticking to it.She had no intention of asking for the money at all.

After dinner, Gui Zhi went out, she knew that Fang Jie would not pay, and she didn't want to say anything to hurt her daughter, she just wanted Fang Jie to try.

Fang Jie walked back and forth in the big kiln alone, she was nervous and anxious, because she was still afraid of uncle in her heart.

There was a sound of a car engine, and Fang Jie's heart beat wildly. She walked out of the house anxiously, and ran to the gate to check if it was her uncle who led the three of them.Seeing this, she hurriedly turned her head and walked back. She was going to block the kiln door, and my uncle would not let her pull without paying.

Fang Qiang walked in front of Fang Jie in three steps and two steps, without even saying hello to Fang Jie, he directly led people into the kiln.

He directed, and each of the three men picked up a bundle of cement bags and left.

Fang Qiang's calmness killed Fang Jie's fear in seconds.

Fang Jie stood at the entrance of the kiln dumbfounded.She plucked up her courage and said, "Uncle, you have to pay for this cement bag." After speaking, she let out a long breath.

Fang Qiang gave a disdainful "hmm".How could he, an old Jianghu, put such a naive child in his eyes.

Fang Jie regretted that she should not have given such a simple topic to her uncle and asked him to answer it smoothly.In an instant, she regretted that she was not good at speaking. Fang Jie figured out that the "hmm" was yes, but when did she give it? !She was afraid that this matter would get too far away, and it might become dirty, no!I still have to ask, think for a moment and ask a safe question, "Will the cement bag be finished after a while?"

"The cement bag was sold to you." Fang Qiang said as he walked out of the kiln door. It was time to load the last truckload of cement bags.

In the end, just as Gui Zhi expected, Fang Qiang didn't give him any money.
