60s: I have a store

Chapter 259: The ostentatious Chow Tai Fook
After Zhou Dafu learned that he could become a worker, he couldn't wait to return to the village to show off. You know, the last time he bought a job, he almost couldn't hold his head up in the village.

Isn't this a chance for him to be proud of himself?
He didn't dare to imagine how many people would come to envy him after he became a formal truck driver. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't even feel tired when walking, and I even ran from time to time in order to get back to the village earlier.

He would laugh out loud from time to time, or run a bit and then laugh again.

This scene made people passing by think that something had happened to this person and he was just bored!

You have to know that food is precious now. Apart from labor, people are reluctant to waste extra energy on other things. As long as they move more, they will get hungry faster. This can be regarded as a disguised way of saving food.

In this way, Chow Tai Fook finally rushed back to Zhoujiazhuang, and could not wait to tell his family the news. He also had to explain the situation to his "creditor" that he could only pay the money back slowly after he received his salary.

Chow Tai Fook rushed back home and saw that all his family members were at home.

Zhou Dafu's father saw his son smiling so happily, he must be happy about something: "What do you want to say?"

It can only be said that no one knows a son better than his father. When Chow Tai Fook raises his tail, you know what is going on.

"Dad, you still understand me. You know I can finally get a job in the steel factory." Chow Tai Fook said excitedly.

Zhou Dafu's father asked, "Did Yimin help you?"

If Zhou Yimin had not helped, he would have been afraid that his silly son would be cheated again. Once bitten, one will be afraid for ten years. A few hundred dollars is not a small amount of money. He might not be able to pay it back in his lifetime. How would his son get married then?

Who would let his daughter marry into a family that owes so much "famine"? Isn't it like pushing his daughter into a fire pit? If she can't find a wife, won't his family be extinct?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. If it really didn't work, I would give up the idea of ​​letting my son work in the factory.

I help out in the village obediently and go hunting from time to time. I earn a lot of money a year, but hunting will definitely become more and more difficult in the future.

In later generations, many animals are on the verge of extinction or have already become extinct due to excessive hunting.

Take the Siberian tiger as an example. You should know that the Siberian tiger is one of the largest cats in the world and is known as the king of the jungle. It has almost no opponent in a one-on-one fight with humans unless it uses weapons.

The Siberian tiger was also ruthlessly persecuted in the first half of the 19th century.

With the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the opening of the restricted area, a large number of immigrants from all over the country moved into the Northeast region, and the Siberian tiger also experienced an unprecedented catastrophe.

Due to population growth, reduction in forest area and uncontrolled large-scale hunting, the population of the Siberian tiger has dropped significantly and its distribution range has rapidly retreated northward.

A dozen or twenty years ago, after Big Brother’s army “eliminated the pests”, they were indeed on the verge of extinction. In the 20s, there were still more than 30 Siberian tigers, and most of them were distributed in China.

An Australian scientist sounded the alarm after conducting the first tiger survey in the 1940s, finding only 20-30 tigers left in the Far East.

This alarming report led to them being granted legal protection in 1947, including a ban on hunting and a reduction in the number of cubs allowed to be captured for zoos around the world. With these new protections, their numbers have steadily recovered.

"Dad, it was indeed Uncle Sixteen who helped me this time. He also helped me get into the transportation department. After I finish my studies, I can become a glorious truck driver." Chow Tai Fook explained quickly.

Zhou Dafu's father was stunned when he heard this. You know, the driver is one of the eight members. He asked hurriedly: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. How could I joke about such a thing?" Chow Tai Fook said seriously.

This kind of thing is so easy to be exposed, there is no point in lying, just ask Zhou Yimin or Zhou Dazhong, and you will know the truth. After hearing this, Zhou Dafu's father said a few words: "Good, good, good! It seems that our family will finally be honored. You must listen to your sixteenth uncle."

You have to know how difficult it is to become a truck driver. It can be said to be extremely difficult. If it weren't for Zhou Yimin's manipulation, Chow Tai Fook would not have been able to learn to drive.

It is conceivable how strong Zhou Yimin’s connections are in the steel plant.

"Dad, even if you don't tell me, I know it." Zhou Dafu immediately assured.

Zhou Dafu also said: "I will go and talk to other people."

"Go!" said Chow Tai Fook's father.

He also knew what kind of person his son was, so he didn't try to stop him.

Zhou Dafu walked with the wind. Since it was lunch time, there was no one at the reservoir construction site. He just went to the house of the person he cooperated with in hunting first.

Although there is an element of showing off, I still have to explain why the money has not been returned to them yet.

Came to one of the people's house.

Zhou Dafu said, "Brother Daming, maybe the money won't be returned to you so quickly?"

When Zhou Daming saw Chow Tai Fook coming, he thought he was thinking of returning the money to him, but as soon as Chow Tai Fook opened his mouth, he knew he was wrong.

"Do you still want to buy a workstation?" Zhou Daming said.

In fact, he is living a better and better life in the village now, so there is no need for him to work in a factory. Before, when he could hardly survive, working in a factory did have its advantages. Although the food was not that good, at least he could have enough to eat.

However, thanks to Uncle Sixteen's continuous assistance to the village, the village not only has a clinic, vegetable planting on the riverbed, a chicken farm, but is now building a reservoir. Even if it were a commune, it might not be able to have so many industries.

Zhou Dafu boasted: "Yes! Uncle Sixteen has bought me a job, and it is a truck driver apprentice. As long as I finish my apprenticeship, I can become a truck driver."

When he said this, his forehead raised proudly.

Zhou Daming was also shocked when he heard this: "Da Fu, is everything you said true?"

He couldn't help but sigh that Chow Tai Fook was really lucky. Although his first two attempts to enter the factory were not smooth, he was able to become a truck driver on his third try.

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you? I'm going to work tomorrow." Chow Tai Fook said with a smile.

"I also need to tell the others that the money can only be paid back later."

After that, he left and went to the other partners' homes to inform them.

Soon, everyone in Zhoujiazhuang knew that Chow Tai Fook was lucky enough to become a truck driver's apprentice.

As expected, this news attracted the envy of many people, especially the young people in the village.
