"Go." I got up and wiped my sleepy eyes.

This time he changed to a women's motorcycle with a red shell, and I sat on it. He turned the key, turned his right hand to refuel, and the car flew out with a whiz. Yes, hold Lian Yu's waist.He is like a young man, twisting the front of the car, shaking the body from side to side, speeding on the road, like a fish in water, with ease.

"Be careful when driving, don't drive too fast." I leaned on his back, facing his ear, actually enjoying this wanton and heroic drive.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." He responded loudly, and the speed of the car accelerated a little.

We came to a village called Xiaogang, walked through a small alleyway, turned left and right, and stopped in a workshop-like incense factory.Lian Yu said: "Here we are, right in front, it's the boss's farmland, and we need to dig a ditch to raise fish."

The excavator also arrived, and was towed by a trailer. A middle-aged man came down, wearing a bamboo hat, with a goatee, and holding a bamboo tube in his left hand. It was a hookah. He approached Lian Yu, muttering something , Explaining something, I stood far away and couldn't hear clearly.

Lian Yu went down to the field and walked all the way.When you walk, step on it vigorously, with your feet on tiptoe.Facing the boss: "If you don't have enough endurance, use an iron plate."

"Then use it, it just happened to be brought here, three yuan, in the car."

Lian Yu went to start the excavator, and the sprocket rattled. The excavator moved forward slowly. The steel plates with a width of more than one meter are placed on the surface of the paddy field that seems to be dry, and they are laid out in sequence. It became the backing plate of the excavator, like the soles of a camel, in order to ensure that the excavator does not fall into the quagmire.

He is working, and I am nearby. Let's take a look. Compared with his brother-in-law, Lian Yu's start-up technology can be regarded as the best among the best. Under his control, the excavator bucket stretches and contracts freely, just like his own palm and fingers. precise.The weeds on the field ridges were shaved clean by him like a barber shaving his beard.

After a while, a section of ditch was dug, with the same depth and width.The sun was setting and the glow was red. I took out my mobile phone and took a few photos in the direction of Lianyu. The man in the photo had a focused expression and devoted himself physically and mentally. This is a man in labor, which makes people feel alive Admired man.

At six o'clock, Lian Yu picked up the hookah and lighter that the boss had just used on the ridge of the field, picked up some shreds of golden yellow and brown tobacco from the paper bag, and put them on the thin metal tube in the third part of the hookah. Mouth, ignite, take a few puffs, the water in the hookah will gurgle, repeat several times, like an old smoker.

Walking back to the small incense factory, the sky has dimmed, but the road can still be seen clearly.The car started, drove to the gate of the factory, turned right and left, Lian Yu hesitated a little, twisted the accelerator, and drove to the right, the speed of the car was slightly slower than when he came. When you go in, shelves are set up inside, using circular iron pipes to set up half a person's height, row by row, some of which are empty, and some are drying finished or semi-finished incense.

"Are there so many incense factories here?" I asked Lian Yu.

"Hehe, basically every household has it, even in several nearby villages."

"There are so many, like a leather street or a leather market, a whole area, the structure of the houses is very similar, and the racks for drying incense in the yard are also similar, alleys, houses, rows The pipes that have been built are placed in the same place, do they need to be used so much?" I was a little puzzled, except for temples, except for the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and except for the New Year, ordinary people do not burn incense in normal times.

"For export, what the boss made just now is for export, very expensive."

"Oh."

We turned around, the sky was completely dark, and we didn't turn out of the village.Lian Yu complained: "I seldom come here, and I get lost right away. When I came here, I was very fast. Now I walked for more than ten, twenty, 10 minutes, and I didn't go out."

"Stop and ask that uncle," I suggested.

"No, you can rush out."

Finally came out, Lian Yu stopped at the door of a small supermarket on the side of the road, and bought a pack of Wuye Shen.

This situation made my heart skip a beat, wondering to myself, I don’t know if this is a coincidence, some kind of coincidence with the same purpose, this is the way of life, and you will always get lost, whether it is short or long, or a dozen or so. Two 10 minutes, or ten or twenty years! !

We stopped at a restaurant. Motorcycles and cars were parked outside the door. There was no signboard on the lintel, but the shop was full of people and noisy. All the big tables were full, except for a small table in the corner.Lian Yu said: "Just here. I don't have time at noon. I don't need to work overtime at night. I can have a good meal and chat."

Seeing us sitting down, the waiter brought cups, bowls, bone saucers and tea. Lian Yu washed the cups and poured tea for me, and raised his hand to ask the waiter to bring the menu.Turning to signal me to order, I said, "You should come."

"Eel, okay?"

"no problem."

"One rice eel stew, one mustard greens in soup." Lian Yu looked at the waiter. "You order one." He looked at me.

"Two people, two dishes, almost enough." I said.

"One more. How about steaming a crucian carp?"

"I'll go and have a look." Under the guidance of the waiter, I saw that the crucian carp in the fish pond was at least a catty, and I thought it was too big for two people, and there were too many crucian carp bones.Lian Yu also came over, stood behind me, and said, "How about a catfish, steamed? How about it?"

"alright."

After ordering, the waiter started to fish, and we sat back at the table, drinking tea and chatting in general.Lian Yu stopped buying horses a long time ago, quit, and seldom rolls cigarettes now. Instead, he smoked waterpipes. I said, "Everyone in your hometown smokes waterpipes, right?"

"I didn't smoke at home before. My brothers and the others knew how to smoke. After coming to Xinhui, everyone smoked waterpipes. As you can see, the boss just now, and our boss, all smoked waterpipes. It's not so hot and easy to get angry. ."He said.

"It'll save you a little bit," I said.

"We should save money, but we don't know where to get the money to pay off debts."

"You owe people a lot of money?" I asked.

"20, loan."

I was very surprised, as far as I knew Lian Yu was not so courageous, and I found out after asking later that he invested in a business that was sure to make a profit and not lose money.He said that his lover's relatives got him a piece of cheap land in a certain county through their connections, and built a four or five-story building, which belonged to his name.Moreover, a new building has been built in his own home, and he has invested some in this area in recent years.

"For the rest of my life, I will depend on my relative whether I will eat porridge or eat." Lian Yu's eyes were full of complacency.

During the chat, it was confirmed that his eldest son had already come out to work, and he hadn’t graduated from middle school yet. Escort, after the injury healed, the eldest son was reluctant to go to school.

"I went to my brother-in-law's place yesterday. I didn't intend to come to see you, but I decided to come because I heard the news." I told the truth, Lian Yu glanced at me, raised his teacup, and clinked with me.

"The younger one should be able to read, right?" I asked.When I went to his house that year, I recalled the cleverness when the little guy brought us the stool, as if it was yesterday, and it was still clear.

"It's not the same, just like me, plowing the fields."

"Are you a cow? Plowing the fields. If everyone is like you, learn and specialize, have a job, and own a few houses, then life will not be bad." I laughed.He also laughed, opened his small mouth, and scratched the back of his head, a little shyly. This behavior actually showed a sense of accomplishment in Lian Yu's heart at that time.

The dishes we ordered came out one after another, Lian Yu handed me a cigarette, and I said quit.I asked him if he drank?He said that he would drink a little while I drank. We ordered a Chunsheng, filled two cups, brought it up, and there was another bang. He raised his neck and raised his chopsticks.
