60s: I have a store

Chapter 254 What day is today?
Even the commune secretary came out to ask, "Captain Zhou, do you still have truck drivers in Zhoujiazhuang?"

Normally the commune has things that need to be transported. If we can establish a good relationship with a truck driver, wouldn’t it be more convenient to do things in the future?

The captain also understands what can be agreed to and what cannot be agreed to.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary, the truck driver just now was Zhou Yimin from our village."

When the commune secretary heard the name, he was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew Zhou Yimin and exclaimed: "I didn't expect Comrade Zhou Yimin to be so capable that he can even drive a truck."

"By the way, what brings you here today?"

He couldn't have come here just to show off, right?
The captain remembered something important and said quickly, "Secretary, doesn't our village want to build a small reservoir? I would like to apply for some detonators. Is that possible?"

Nowadays, the control over guns and ammunition is not as strict as it will be in the future. As long as they are not deliberately blocking you, you can basically get your application approved.

The commune secretary said, "Okay, go apply now and I'll approve it."

He had heard about the construction of a reservoir in Zhoujiazhuang. After all, it was no small matter.

If a village voluntarily builds a water conservancy project, the commune certainly has no reason to stop it and may even give appropriate support. After all, it is a project that benefits the country and the people.

In addition, he also heard that Zhoujiazhuang could even get things like generators.

I can only say that there are capable people in Zhoujiazhuang!

There is no need to guess who that capable person is, it must be Zhou Yimin!
Therefore, the commune secretary gave Zhoujiazhuang some face. In fact, he was also giving Zhou Yimin some face.

If someone else came here, they would definitely not receive this treatment. Even though it is not difficult to apply for detonators, they cannot be obtained on the same day.

The captain was a little surprised, but he quickly realized that it was Yimin's credit. It seemed that asking Yimin to send him here was a very correct decision.

"Thank you! Secretary." Captain.

So the captain successfully applied for the detonator.

……

Zhoujiazhuang, a barrel of palm oil is moved to the school kitchen.

Seeing such a large barrel of oil, Zhou Zhigao and his wife were very surprised and couldn't help but sigh that the Sixteenth Brother really took good care of the school! He never lacked anything for the school.

It can be said that the children are now the best-fed people in the village.

Of course, Zhou Yimin's family is an exception.

As long as you have food and clothes, you can study hard. The children of today are so lucky, it is good to have someone to protect them.

"50 kilograms of oil can last for a long time." Zhou Zhigao's wife said with a smile.

You know, even the village canteen only got 50 kilograms.

Now that there is one more person in the school kitchen, her job has become easier. In fact, she can handle it by herself, after all, she is only cooking for a hundred or so children.

"Well! Just discuss the kitchen matters with Sixth Sister-in-law." Zhou Zhigao said.

He just needs to focus on teaching and not worry about other things.

At night, he might teach the villagers how to read and write. This is also one of his tasks, and he doesn't find it hard.

……

Zhou Yimin quickly transported the vegetables back to the steel plant, went through the process, and received the money from selling the vegetables, a total of about 300 yuan.

Just as he was about to leave, projectionist Lu Guofu came over with a rosy face and waved to Zhou Yimin.

"Yimin, are you free to come to my house for dinner today?" Lu Guofu was indeed happy.

He also stole the spotlight at this commendation meeting. Strictly speaking, it was his two sons who stole the spotlight and were praised and rewarded by the factory again.

The reward was a rice cooker.

This is a great reward!

You know, although rice cookers are produced by their steel mills, they are basically exported to earn foreign exchange, and it is not easy to buy them even if you have money in China.

It can be said that the rice cooker is also a big item.

Yesterday, he brought the rice cooker home, and the whole courtyard was in an uproar. Everyone rushed to his house to see the novelty. It was indeed a novelty. It was probably the only one in the area of ​​several hundred meters that had a rice cooker. No one had ever seen one.

What's more, it was earned by his two sons, so he was very proud.

That is why he wanted to invite Zhou Yimin to his home for dinner to express his gratitude.

Although the idea of ​​the rice cooker was thought up by his two sons, they did not participate in its design and manufacturing. The person who really played a role was Zhou Yimin.

"Uncle Lu, what day is today?" Zhou Yimin asked with a smile.

Lu Guofu laughed: "What a great day."

Zhou Yimin: "Okay! I'll go there later. By the way, Uncle Lu, are you free recently?"

"Showing a movie, right? You're free, when do you want to watch it?" As soon as Lu Guofu heard it, he knew that he wanted to invite him to show a movie. If it was someone else, he would say he was not free even if he was free, so he had to be careful.

"Just these two days!"

The village is building a reservoir and everyone is very tired from working during the day, so we give the villagers some time to relax and unwind.

"Okay, let's go tonight." Lu Guofu didn't say anything more.

At noon, Zhou Yimin went to Lu Guofu's house almost on time.

He didn't come empty-handed, but brought a few cans of food.

In this era, no matter what kind of canned food it is, it is a scarce commodity. How can ordinary people afford to buy it? That kind of thing makes you look good when visiting relatives and friends.

"Yimin, why are you bringing things with you? Why are you so polite? Come and sit down." Lu Guofu came forward.

The food is ready, just waiting for Zhou Yimin to come.

This meal was truly sumptuous.

The projectionist had no shortage of food.

A small pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a braised fish, a roast duck, and rice, all in the rice cooker! The rice cooker was placed in the most conspicuous place in the house, almost like a sacrifice.

Three dishes, all meat.

What family?

Not only rural people, but even city dwellers cannot afford this meal during the Chinese New Year.

It can only be said that Lu Guofu spent a lot of money to entertain Zhou Yimin.

"It was given to me by a friend. I don't like canned food." Zhou Yimin said with a smile.

The two brothers Lu Xuezhen and Lu Xueyi also greeted each other at the same time.

The two brothers are very powerful now.

Whether it was the people in the courtyard or the teachers and classmates in the school, they all knew that the two of them participated in the invention of the rice cooker and received praise and rewards.

Who wouldn’t be envious?

Even the teacher treated the two brothers much better.

"Study hard, use your imagination, and realize your imagination." Zhou Yimin encouraged them.

This made the Lu Xuezhen and his brother so excited that their faces turned red, and they couldn't wait to come up with an invention right away.

"Eat, eat!" Lu Guofu called out.

He opened a bottle of Moutai, which he had bought several years ago, but he was reluctant to drink it before.

Zhou Yimin and Lu Guofu had two drinks.

Eat and talk at the same time.

Lu Guofu had traveled to many places. After all, he often went to the countryside to show movies, and he had heard a lot about all kinds of strange things in the countryside.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Yimin said goodbye.
