Director Song listened, nodding slightly. The doubt in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a glimmer of barely perceptible approval. He leaned back in his chair, his fingers continuing to tap rhythmically against the table as if he were still turning the matter over in his mind. Before long, his gaze refocused on Wang Jianguo, and he asked, "Jianguo, even if the issue of the homestead is resolved, how will you handle the bricks? That’s no small matter."
Director Song furrowed his brow, a look of concern returning to his face. "The brick factory near our village has a set annual production quota. Aside from what is supplied to state units, the remainder is distributed to villagers. The quantity is extremely limited—there may not even be enough bricks for you to build your house."
Director Song’s tone was filled with a pragmatic view of the difficulties; he knew well that in village affairs, if any single link in the chain failed, the entire project could fall through.
