Chapter 734: For the Vow

Just like that, Wang An shouted three times, each time louder than the last.

But until the end of the third time, Wang Li was still confused, and Wang An finally couldn't shout anymore.

The main thing was that his throat was itchy.

In order to teach Wang Li as soon as possible, Wang An stopped the vehicle on the side of the road and turned off the engine.

The reason Wang An wanted to teach Wang Li as soon as possible was, on one hand, he wanted Wang Li to have one more skill, and on the other hand, it was actually Wang An's laziness acting up.

Because driving a crawler tractor can be said to have not even a bit of driving pleasure.

And the job of driving a crawler tractor was also a double torture of spirit and body for Wang An, but as long as he could not drive this thing, Wang An would absolutely not touch it.

So, Wang Li was a very worthy object to cultivate! Once Wang An taught Wang Li, Wang An could directly let go; anyway, Wang Li was idle all day.

Besides, Wang Li was still young, and having one more skill was good for him.

It must be admitted that the moment the engine was turned off, Wang An instantly felt the whole world was damn quiet.

It was just that his ears were still a bit unaccustomed, feeling like there was a buzzing sound in his ears.

Shaking his head, just as Wang An was about to speak, only hearing Wang Li start to point at the various control switches on the crawler vehicle and tell Wang An according to what Wang An taught.

After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An said with a face full of complaint:

"Didn't you already know how to drive? Go, start the vehicle, you drive."

Learning Wang An's method of starting the vehicle, Wang Li pulled the rope three times before starting the crawler vehicle.

Immediately after, Wang An sat on the stool in the driving cabin, watching Wang Li drive while taking out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth.

Just like that, Wang Li drove the crawler tractor and walked slowly toward home.

When passing a turn, Wang An had a flash of inspiration, patted Wang Li on the shoulder and shouted:

"Fifth Brother, stop the vehicle, I have something to do."

Wang Li stepped on the brake and shouted subconsciously:

"What's wrong, Fourth Brother, is there any problem with my driving?"

Wang An didn't answer and continued to shout:

"You get up first."

To tell the truth, Wang An truly couldn't shout anymore, so he didn't want to explain to Wang Li.

Wang Li didn't ask again, but stood up with a confused face.

Only seeing Wang An sit behind the driving seat, directly lower the big shovel in front of the crawler vehicle, and then step on the accelerator to the end, pushing toward the bushes on the side of the road.

The reason Wang An did this was because this turn was like a troublesome person, always causing small and large things.

Wang An clearly remembered that he had already had many things happen here, and this place had also taken away quite a few lives.

Most importantly, Wang An had secretly made a vow before that when he bought a bulldozer, he must force this turning road to be straightened.

So, even for the sake of the vow, Wang An had to do this.

Wang Li looked at Wang An's magical operation and soon became dumbfounded.

The main thing was that Wang Li truly didn't expect Wang An to want to change the road.

Consequently, in Wang Li's dumbfoundedness, and in the rapid black smoke of the crawler tractor, Wang An forced out a road in the bushes. It must be admitted that this crawler tractor was truly powerful; there was no pause in the middle, and it pushed straight through all the way.

Immediately after, Wang An drove the crawler vehicle back and forth several times, widening the road he pushed out by quite a bit, about five or six meters.

In the countryside at this time, there were actually no roads 5 meters wide; normally it was about 3 meters, but this road was the only way from Xing'an Township to DJ County, so it could barely be considered a provincial road, so it was slightly wider.

I don't know why, but after Wang An completely finished pushing this section of the road, there was a feeling of being very transparent and suddenly enlightened.

The main thing was that from one side of the road to the other, there was no longer any obstruction, and this road also became flat.

Stop, turn off the engine.

Wang An said to Wang Li with a smile:

"How is it, Fifth Brother, is this road straight enough?"

Wang Li looked at this straight road and said very suspiciously:

"It's straight, but I just want to ask, Fourth Brother, what are you pushing this thing for? Besides, I don't know what's underneath, and you just pushed it into a road, is that okay?"

The reason Wang Li said this was because legend had it that this turn was a large cemetery in the early years.

Such a place is a taboo existence in folk customs.

If this legend is true, then Wang An's behavior is no different from digging up dead people's houses.

After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An glared at Wang Li and said:

"Look at your bear appearance, why wouldn't it be okay? At a young age, you don't learn well, and you talk about taboos all day long. Besides, building bridges and repairing roads has always been a great good deed, but it changes flavor when it gets to you. Damn, nothing at all."

It must be admitted that Wang An's theory was genuinely quite reasonable.

Once Wang An's face dropped, Wang Li immediately shut up, looking at this straight road and lost in thought.

The originally transparent little mood could be said to have been completely ruined by Wang Li's sentence. Wang An also lost the mood to appreciate his masterpiece and said to Wang Li: "Go, start the vehicle, let's go home."

Upon hearing this, Wang Li started the vehicle very nimbly, and the brothers walked home in silence.

When Wang An and the other arrived home, Wang Dazhu and his wife and Wang Daliang and his wife, as well as Shen Wei and Second Brother Wang Shun, 6 people were unloading cement.

Although Liu Guilan, Yao Ping, and Shen Wei only carried one bag of cement each time, to be honest, rural women are truly not bad at all when it comes to doing work.

Wang An and Wang Li stopped the vehicle and joined in the unloading.

Wang Daliang's family only bought enough bricks to build three tile-roofed houses, so they only kept two tons of cement, which was enough.

The remaining 6 tons were all unloaded at Wang An's house.

In fact, building a brick-tile house in the countryside, if building three rooms, normally one ton of cement is enough.

The reason for saying this is that rural brick-tile houses all use soil and mud to build bricks, while the concrete composed of cement and sand is only used when building the foundation's five or six layers of bricks and pouring the house beams.

Even more so, in the case of not being able to afford enough cement, the house's crossbeam is directly replaced by a long cross-wood.

Of course, this is also a way with no other way; after all, although the price of goods in this era is low, the price of cement is genuinely not cheap.

The price of 10.5 yuan per bag is truly not something an ordinary person can afford.

Fortunately, brick-tile houses in this era are rare, and every family has earth houses, so the vast majority of families don't have the problem of whether they can afford it or not.
