I became popular in the 1970s by disguising myself as a man

Chapter 69 Jiang Heng, black market

Before leaving, Zhong Zhiran took out a few more soaps and soaps from the space and put them into the package. Tian Bowen had said several times before that the fragrance smelled good, but Zhong Zhiran didn't even think of taking them away with him. A few bucks, luckily now that I think about it.

When Zhong Zhiran went to town to finish mailing things, it was not yet noon. Just as he was about to ride away, he saw several people running out of a small alley in a panic. Zhong Zhiran curled his lips, pedaled his bicycle hard and headed towards her. A particularly familiar figure rushed towards him.

As he approached the man, Zhong Zhiran reached out and grabbed the man hard.

"boarding."

The moment Jiang Heng's arm was grabbed, he tried to break free, but when he heard Zhong Zhiran's voice, he directly used his strength to get on Zhong Zhiran's bicycle.

"Let's meet at the same place tonight, so be careful."

Jiang Heng did not forget to give instructions to the few people who ran out with him, and then quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes with Zhong Zhiran.

It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the edge of a forest on the edge of the town that Zhong Zhiran slowed down and stopped.

"You came here on a bicycle, right? Where is the car parked? I'll take you there."

Zhong Zhiran raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Heng with a half-smile. She really didn't expect that Jiang Heng, who had always had no sense of existence, would actually be involved in the black market, and he seemed to be a boss.

Since Zhong Zhiran came to the Struggle Brigade, she knew that there was a black market in the town, but she never thought about getting rich and earning her first pot of gold in the black market by relying on the materials in her space.

The general environment has led to the existence of the black market, but the black market is not as easy to deal with as imagined. The way to make money is often still in the hands of a small group of people. It is okay to make small troubles, but Zhong Zhiran does not like the small money. , once the noise gets louder, it will definitely attract the attention of some people, and Zhong Zhiran doesn't want to cause any trouble.

But he never imagined that Jiang Heng would be involved in the black market and have so many people under his command.For the first time, Zhong Zhiran became somewhat curious about the people around him who could be called friends.

"My bicycle is parked over there at the supply and marketing cooperative. Are you in a hurry to go back? Why don't you come over to my place and have a ride?"

Jiang Heng still looked like a big boy, with a harmless smile and big white teeth, as if the person who just ran for his life was not him.

"I'm not going, then I'll go back to the brigade. The village chief's aunt wants me to go to her house for dinner in the afternoon. You should be careful."

After Zhong Zhiran finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and left without waiting for Jiang Heng to answer.

Neither of them mentioned what happened just now. It was as if they met by chance. They exchanged a few words and said hello. One didn't take the initiative to ask, and the other didn't take the initiative to explain. They went their separate ways. .

Zhong Zhiran's statement that he was going to the village chief's house for lunch was not an excuse. When he came to town from the brigade in the morning, he happened to meet Zhang Fan, the boss of the Zhang family. It seemed that Zhang Yougen wanted to discuss with her about teaching the villagers how to tractor. .

In addition to Zhong Zhiran, Zhang Fan also called Tian Zeyu. Not long after Zhong Zhiran arrived home, Tian Zeyu came to call her, and the two went to the village chief's house together.

Since he was going to eat at someone else's house, there was no reason to go empty-handed. Tian Zeyu took two boxes of canned meat. This was what he brought back when he came back. It was considered a good thing at this time.

Zhong Zhiran didn't bring anything to eat this time, but a few pieces of fine cotton and cloth. The Zhang family's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were counting on the days and they were about to give birth. In addition, Zhong Zhiran also brought two pieces of soft cotton. A big bag of brown sugar can be considered a big gift.When the two of them arrived, the food was almost ready. Zhang Yougen was sitting at the door basking in the sun, while Li Cuihong led his two daughters-in-law to set out bowls and chopsticks in the main room.

"I've told you so many times, just don't take anything from me when people come. No one or two will obey me."

Zhang Yougen now really treats Zhong Zhiran as if he were one of his own children. This is definitely not polite. It's not okay to always send things here.

"You haven't seen me for a while, but you don't want to talk about me when we meet. Besides, this thing is for my two little nephews."

Zhong Zhiran was not restrained. He said something to Zhang Yougen and rushed into the house. Zhang Yougen laughed and cursed again before leading Tian Zeyu into the house.

"Auntie, I got some fine cotton cloth. You can make two close-fitting clothes for the little nephews in the belly of my two sisters-in-law. Have you prepared the little quilts? If you haven't done it yet, I will There is still some new cotton, please bring it over to renew two quilts."

Zhong Zhiran directly stuffed the muslin cloth to Li Cuihong, and handed two packets of brown sugar to Mengfang and Geng Hua respectively.

"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law keep these two packets of brown sugar by themselves."

"This cloth is so soft. It is very suitable for making close-fitting clothes for children. The quilt is already prepared. Please hold your hand tightly behind me. I don't know how to save some money so that I can get a wife in the future." .”

Li Cuihong turned around and went back to the house to put away the two pieces of fabric. Although she said that Zhong Zhiran would not be able to live with his hands loose, she had already made a plan in her heart. They had saved the money for Zhong Zhiran to marry his wife in the future. In her eyes, Zhong Zhiran was just like her. There are four sons.

…………

"Now that the weather is getting warmer, I'm wondering if I should start preparing to teach everyone how to drive a tractor before the busy spring season. If I catch up with the spring planting time, I'm afraid I won't have time and I'll have to postpone it."

As soon as they started eating, Zhang Yougen said what he wanted to say.

"There is nothing wrong with learning during spring sowing. Modify an iron plow and hang it directly on the back of the tractor. You will learn to drive the tractor while doing all the work. Otherwise, you will have to learn to drive the tractor alone and waste fuel. , not cost-effective.”

Zhong Zhiran had already thought about this. There were two types of tractors at this time. One was the one from the Struggle Brigade, which had wheels, and the other was a chain type, which was more suitable for use in rice fields or waterlogging. Work in depressions.

In addition, there are too few machines at this time. Whether it is spring sowing or autumn harvest, the brigade has to use manpower to complete the work, and the workload is very heavy.

Just like the corn field here, the corn poles have been cut down and pulled away, but the corn roots are still in the ground. It is necessary for the old ox to be hitched to the plow to break open the corn stalks first, and then people follow behind to pick up the corn stalks. Knock off the soil from the roots and spread it into a pile before pulling it out.

This efficiency can be imagined, and coupled with the limited number of oxen and plows in the brigade, many people still need to use pickaxes to dig out the corn roots, and they really can't do it if they don't have the strength.

As soon as Zhong Zhiran's words came out, Zhang Yougen's spirit was shocked. He thought that there were no tractors around him. In his impression, tractors could only pull grain. He never thought that tractors could also help with farming.

This time, Zhang Yougen couldn't even eat anymore. He pulled Zhong Zhiran and wanted to run to the brigade leader's house. He quickly found someone to discuss it. This was a major matter that affected everyone in the brigade.
