60s: I have a store

Chapter 252
Director Li and the rest of the staff got on the truck. Director Li sat in the cab, and the rest of the people had to sit in the carriage.

Fortunately, there is no concept of overloading now, and there is no such thing as mixing people and cargo, otherwise your driver’s license may be revoked.

It was not the first time for Director Li to ride in a car, but it was his first time to ride in a truck. It was even more so for some of the staff members. It was their first time to ride in a truck and it felt very fresh.

Unlike in later times, some people would feel ashamed to sit on the back of a truck like this.

It’s different when you have a car. It would take at least ten minutes to walk, but with a car, you can reach your destination in less than five minutes.

After Zhou Yimin parked the car, everyone got off reluctantly. Why did the trip usually take so long? Why was the time so short this time? They had to get off before they even had time to get comfortable in their seats.

Everyone can see a lot of sundries on the ground, including tables, chairs, molds and the like.

Director Li clapped his hands and said, "Comrades, start working."

Fortunately, Zhou Yimin drove a truck over to help, otherwise all these things would not have been moved until eight or nine in the evening.

After hearing this, the people present started working in a hurry. Zhou Yimin was not idle either, and joined in to help move things.

Director Li said, "Yimin, you don't have to. You've helped us so much."

"Aunt Li, you are being so polite. I have something to give you later." Zhou Yimin said with a smile.

After hearing what Zhou Yimin said, Director Li did not postpone it. After all, there is strength in numbers.

We worked together to load all the things onto the truck. It seemed that we couldn't load it all in one go, so we had to do it in two batches.

In this way, Zhou Yimin helped to pull two trucks and finally moved all the things to the processing plant at around seven o'clock in the evening. Everyone present was very busy.

Many people have little fat in their stomachs, so they can't stand doing such heavy physical work all of a sudden.

Director Li said at this time: "Everyone has worked hard today. The canteen has prepared dinner for everyone, and this meal is free."

For this dinner, some meat was added to provide some oil and water, but she didn’t say it on the spot, so just consider it a little surprise!
Zhou Yimin also said goodbye at this time: "Aunt Li, I will go back first."

I also helped with moving things, and I was already a little hungry. I had to have a good meal when I got home.

"Let's go over there and have dinner at Aunt Li's house." Director Li said.

It would be unreasonable not to treat Zhou Yimin to a meal after he has helped so many people.

Zhou Yimin was not polite. Anyway, he seldom cooked for himself in the city. He would eat for free if possible, otherwise he would eat in state-owned restaurants.

Then he drove the truck with Director Li to Director Li's home.

Fortunately, the road is still relatively wide now, and the courtyard where Director Li lives is not in the alley. If it were too narrow, he might not dare to drive with his driving skills.

There are some great drivers who can park their cars so that the distance between the car and the wall is no more than a finger's width. You can imagine how good those drivers' parking skills are.

Soon we arrived at Director Li's home. The sound of the truck attracted many people, especially children.

They were all very curious when they saw the truck. Trucks are rarely seen at ordinary times, let alone being able to appreciate them up close. The brave ones can even touch them.

The adults envied the driver inside.

Among the eight major personnel, the driver's status can be said to be ranked first. Even the salesperson cannot compare to him. After all, truck drivers are treasured wherever they go.

Zhou Yimin saw this situation but did not stop it.

The quality of today's trucks is still very good. Unlike the cars of later island countries, the car body will be dented if you use a little force, but there will be no problem as long as you hit it hard.

Moreover, people nowadays are quite well-educated, and no one dares to deliberately destroy important resources such as trucks. After getting off the car, Zhou Yimin took the two bags of milk powder he had prepared in advance and followed Director Li.

Director Li was slightly happy when he saw the milk powder in Zhou Yimin's hand.

If it was something else, I would definitely refuse it, but I really can't refuse milk powder. If I refuse it, my grandson will go hungry.

When Zhao Zhenguo saw his mother coming back with Zhou Yimin following behind her, he quickly stood up and asked his wife to order more dishes.

Zhou Yimin greeted, "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, sorry to bother you today."

Next, pass the milk powder over.

When Zhao Zhenguo saw the two bags of milk powder, he quickly thanked him: "Yimin, thank you so much. I'm running out of milk powder and I was wondering what to do when I run out of it!"

Although all of their family members are at the director level, milk powder is so scarce that even for a director it is not easy to get it.

"Come to me next time after you finish eating. I can still get you a few bags of milk powder." Zhou Yimin said.

Zhao Zhenguo was not polite to Zhou Yimin: "Yimin, my son will depend on you from now on."

"Do you know how to speak? What do you mean your son will depend on Yimin in the future?" Director Li glared at his son who spoke without restraint.

Zhao Zhenguo chuckled.

At home, there is no need to pretend. The main reason is that Yimin is not an outsider, so you can speak casually.

"It's okay, he's not my nephew. I'll take care of his milk powder from now on." Zhou Yimin said generously.

He would only say this if he knew the person very well.

Several people kept chatting. Director Li had a lot to say when talking about the OEM factory. After all, it was the first time for the street office to set up an OEM factory. They had no experience at all and were afraid of messing it up.

Many people are watching, including the district leaders, who also want to see the results.

Once the effect is good and can solve the employment problem effectively, it is estimated that it will be promoted.

Half an hour later, Zhao Zhenguo's wife said, "Get ready for dinner."

This meal can be said to be quite good, with three dishes and one soup, at least it was considered very good in this era. This standard of food is not something that ordinary people can get during the Chinese New Year.

After dinner, Zhou Yimin looked at the time and found that it was getting late, so he said, "Brother Zhao, Aunt Li, Uncle, Sister-in-law, it's getting late now. I have to go to the village to buy things tomorrow, so I'll go back first."

Zhao Zhenguo did not try to persuade him to stay. He handed over the prepared things and said, "Yimin, I know you can get the supplies. Don't be disgusted by these little things!"

Then he brought out a few apples and a two-pound piece of pork that he had prepared in advance.

This is the best thing I can have in my home.

Apples, in particular, were not easy to get, and he was lucky enough to get some.

"How could that be? Thanks, Brother Zhao." Zhou Yimin said with a smile without refusing.

Although these things were indeed nothing to him, fruits were considered rare in the entire Sijiu City, and without certain connections, it was impossible to get them.

The current transportation conditions are not as good as those in the future, so these fruits have to be transported from the south.

Of course, apples don’t count, as they are more common in the North.
