60s: I have a store

Chapter 371: Eating at off-peak hours
The villagers are now full of energy and start to work separately, cutting trees for others and loading them onto donkey carts.

As expected, having a car makes things faster, and the tree-felling project is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Zhou Zhiming's side was also progressing quite smoothly.

Since there was no ruler that long, we had to use a hemp rope, and then mark the standard at 60 centimeters on the rope to avoid mistakes.

Seeing Zhou Zhiming so serious, Zhou Yimin said: "Old Party Secretary, you have a good eye for selecting people. Brother Zhiming is serious and responsible."

Hearing Zhou Yimin's praise, even though he was not the one being praised, the old branch secretary was very happy: "You can't say it to his face, or I'm afraid he will be proud."

Zhou Zhiming asked someone to hold the hemp rope at one end, and then he pulled the rope to the other end and soon reached the other end, because the greenhouse was thirty-five meters long.

In order to minimize the error in the middle, the first thing is
Zhou Zhiming is personally responsible for every step and he doesn't trust others to do it.

All we can say is that Zhou Zhiming is destined to be a hard worker. If those lazy people come here, as long as the steps are good, it will be fine. There is no perfect project in the world. As long as it is within the specified scope, it will be fine.

Zhou Zhiming ran up and down like this and did not feel tired at all. Instead, he enjoyed it.

Having reduced the error to a minimum, we began digging the hole.

"Every 60 centimeters, dig a hole 50 centimeters deep. Do you understand?"

After hearing what Zhou Zhiming said, the villagers understood that this job was not difficult and did not require any skills.

Everyone started digging the hole.

In order to prevent the villagers from digging in the wrong place, Zhou Zhiming first dug a small hole every sixty centimeters, and then the rest of the people just followed this small hole to dig.

After more than an hour of hard work, Zhou Zhiming finally marked the positions of all the 35-meter-long greenhouses.

Then he joined in the digging operation.

It turns out that time flies by when you focus on work.

The most important thing is that you won’t feel cold while working.

The old Party Secretary then shouted, "It's noon, let's go to the canteen to eat first, and then we can do the rest of the work in the afternoon!"

The villagers, who were already starving, could not help but rush towards the canteen after hearing the old branch secretary's words.

Zhou Zhiming didn't expect time to pass so quickly and it was already noon.

"Zhiming, go to the mountain and call the team leader and others to come back for dinner." The old branch secretary said to Zhou Zhiming at this time.

"Okay, I'll go now."

After Zhou Zhiming finished speaking, he ran towards the back mountain, as if nothing had happened after a whole morning of intense labor, and he was still full of energy.

Some villagers from Shuangtian Village came to Zhoujiazhuang to work for the first time. Before, they had only heard about how good the food was in Zhoujiazhuang. Now they were able to see it with their own eyes and were very excited and looking forward to it.

After all, seeing is believing. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will always find it hard to believe that the food in Zhoujiazhuang is better than that in the commune.

Zhou Zhiming ran to the back mountain in one breath and saw that the team leader and others were still working.

"Captain, the old branch secretary asked everyone to go back and eat first."

When the team leader heard Zhou Zhiming's words, he realized that felling trees was also a physically demanding job and that the villagers were probably already hungry, so he shouted, "Comrades, let's go back and eat!"

After hearing the captain's words, everyone put down the axes, machetes, etc. in their hands.

They put on and took off their cotton-padded clothes. After all, they didn’t feel cold while working just now, and some people were afraid that their cotton-padded clothes would be torn while working, so they took them off.

Cotton and cloth are very precious now. A family doesn't have many cloth and cotton coupons in a year. It's just a thought to change new clothes. Some younger people, maybe they want to look cool, didn't take off their cotton clothes on the boat.

When the captain saw this scene, he immediately reminded: "Keep warm, otherwise you will catch a cold easily."

"Captain, don't worry, we are young and in good health." A young man replied.

After saying that, he was still thinking about showing off his muscles.

Just at this moment, a cold wind blew by, and several people shivered immediately.

Maybe the heat generated by the work just now was taken away by a gust of cold wind, and I suddenly felt cold. I didn't care about my face and put on my cotton coat immediately.

"warm."

I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

After seeing this, the captain could only shake his head helplessly, sighing in his heart that he was getting old and thinking about the past...

Then, they all walked back in a mighty procession.

When some people in the village saw this, they joined in the fun, resulting in more and more people and a longer line.

In order to celebrate the first day of work, the old branch secretary even ordered the canteen to add more meat dishes. It just so happened that so many fish were caught before, so they would come in handy, right?

When the people of Shuangtian Village arrived at the canteen, they saw the mountains of steamed buns and stewed fish, and their mouths watered.

There was no time to chat, the important thing was to queue up for food.

It seems that the food in Zhoujiazhuang is really good, and Liang Zan and the others are not lying.

At this moment, Liang Zan was not so lucky. Since he joined later, some good positions had been picked up, and the remaining jobs were basically heavy physical work.

When I was queuing for food, I found that the food was not even a little bit worse than that in Zhoujiazhuang.

I could only shake my head helplessly. I was so hungry now that I had to eat even if the food was not good. Who told me that I was unlucky and didn't get the chance to work in Zhoujiazhuang?
The only good thing is that at least it can fill you up, but it's unlikely to be a good meal.

After getting their meals, the villagers of Shuangtian Village all sit together. It is better to eat with acquaintances than with strangers, and they can also chat.

"I didn't expect the food in Zhoujiazhuang to be so good. No wonder Liang Zan and the others were reluctant to leave. If it were me, I wouldn't be reluctant to leave either!"

"After all that talk, can't even eating shut your mouths up?"

After hearing Liang Liu's words, the others fell silent and started eating in silence.

That's right! Liang Liu was very lucky and got another chance to work in Zhoujiazhuang.

There were quite a few people who could come twice in a row, because there were only twenty places available for the commune, but there were as many as fifty people who came to work in Zhoujiazhuang.

Soon the captain also brought a large group of people into the cafeteria.

Fortunately, the dining hall is big enough, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people.

However, the old branch secretary had already arranged for staggered meal times. First of all, since he was busy with other things in Zhoujiazhuang, he would come over to eat early. Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to accommodate so many people at once.

In fact, someone had suggested to the old branch secretary and others that the canteen should be expanded and made bigger.

However, Zhou Yimin thought that there was no need for that and he could just eat during off-peak hours in the future.
