60s: I have a store

Chapter 382 An episode on the road

Zhou Zhiming followed the old branch secretary's words and hurried to the commune to find Director Huang.

He jogged all the way to the commune. After more than an hour's running, Zhou Zhiming finally arrived at the commune, panting.

He walked in quickly and found someone who was relatively close to him and asked, "Comrade, I want to ask, is Director Huang in the commune?"

Director Huang manages so many villages, so it is normal for him to go down to inspect.

"Director Huang is in his office. Just go forward and turn left," the man replied.

"Thank you, comrade." Zhou Zhiming hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

After saying thank you, just follow what the man said.

After a while, he arrived at Director Huang's office. When he was about to knock on the door, the office door opened and Lin Guohuai walked out.

When he saw Zhou Zhiming, he quickly greeted him: "Comrade Zhou, how come you are here?"

"Comrade Lin Guohuai, hello."

"The old branch secretary asked me to come over, Director Huang, Yimin has brought the feed back."

Zhou Zhiming told Lin Guohuai the truth. He was an insider anyway, so it didn't matter.

When Lin Guohuai heard this, he immediately pulled Zhou Zhiming into the office.

Director Huang was about to scold Lin Guohuai for being a complete loser, but when he saw Zhou Zhiming, he held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Comrade Zhou, are you here to bring back the feed?"

Apart from this, he couldn't think of any reason why Zhou Zhiming would come to the commune.

"That's right, Director Huang, Yimin has transported the feed back, and the old branch secretary asked me to come and inform you." Zhou Zhiming replied.

Director Huang was very excited when he heard this: "Okay."

An couldn't help himself, so he immediately took Lin Guohuai and Zhou Zhiming and rushed to Zhoujiazhuang.

These past two days, the flowers were almost withering, and I had no appetite. My wife almost suspected that I was having an affair. I had no choice but to ask Lin Guohuai to come over and explain.

Otherwise, there may be family changes. Thinking of this, I really have a love-hate relationship with feed!

It was Zhou Zhiming’s first time to ride a tractor, and he felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden – dazzled.

I am very curious about everything on the tractor and touch it here and there.

Director Huang and Lin Guohuai were not surprised by this situation.

Thinking back to the time when they rode a tractor for the first time, they looked not much better than Zhou Zhiming.

So I didn't mean to look down on Zhou Zhiming.

Lin Guohuai was still very generous and explained to Zhou Zhiming the functions of some things on the tractor.

Zhou Zhiming listened very carefully. If he had paper and pen in his hand, he would probably want to write it down. Although there are none in the village now, he can’t say for sure in the future.

Director Huang looked at Lin Guohuai, who loved to show off, and didn't say much. That's how young people are.

Lin Guohuai was explaining while he was driving, which gave his vanity great satisfaction.

Moreover, he almost lost himself in Zhou Zhiming's praise. If Director Huang had not interrupted him in time, an accident would have almost happened.

Because Lin Guohuai was busy explaining, he didn't pay attention to the road conditions and almost hit a big tree in front of him.

Lin Guohuai was so scared that he stepped on the brakes immediately. Director Huang was better off, but Zhou Zhiming was not so lucky. The huge inertia almost made him fly out. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the iron bar on the car, so he did not fly out.

When Director Huang saw this scene, he slapped Lin Guohuai on the back of his head.

"You're looking for death, you little brat! Don't drag us into this!"

"Uncle, I'm sorry."

"Comrade Zhou, are you okay?"

Lin Guohuai reacted and asked quickly.

Zhou Zhiming shook his numb arms: "It's okay!" Fortunately, he has been working for many years and has great strength. If it were someone with less strength, he would have definitely been thrown out.

Hearing Zhou Zhiming say no, Lin Guohuai breathed a sigh of relief.

If anything happened to Zhou Zhiming because of me, I would feel guilty.

For the rest of the journey, Lin Guohuai drove very seriously and didn't even dare to say much, for fear that the accident would happen again.

And so we arrived safely at Zhoujiazhuang.

The three people in the car all breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to endure the fear.

The old branch secretary had been waiting at the door for a long time.

When he saw Director Huang and his friends, he quickly stepped forward to greet them: "Hello, Director Huang and Comrade Lin Guohuai!"

Then I saw Zhou Zhiming still waving his hands there.

"Zhiming, what's wrong with your hand?"

"It's okay, just some exercise." Zhou Zhiming did not tell the old branch secretary the truth.

Lin Guohuai did not expect that Zhou Zhiming was so loyal as not to tell the truth.

After hearing this, the old branch secretary didn't care and turned around to entertain Director Huang.

"Secretary Zhou, where is the feed?" Director Huang sounded a little impatient.

"Okay, I'll take you there now, Director Huang." replied the old branch secretary.

Then he led the way in front.

Soon we arrived at the place where feed was stored.

Director Huang saw that this place was so simple and shabby. He wondered if someone would come to steal things, or if there would be enemy spies coming to rob people.
"Secretary Zhou, isn't this place too shabby?"

"Director Huang, the feed processing workshop is still under construction. This is just a temporary storage." The old branch secretary explained.

I didn't expect that this feed is more precious than I thought, otherwise Director Huang wouldn't have mentioned it just because the place is so simple.

After hearing this, Director Huang realized that there was really no way to solve the problem during the construction, so he did not pursue the matter further.

I squatted down, intending to open a package and see what the feed looked like.

I was not familiar with the packaging and couldn't open it at once, so I instinctively took out the matches, but then I remembered that there was feed inside, so I put the matches back.

When Zhou Zhiming saw this scene, he felt very familiar with it. He couldn't solve it at first, but Zhou Yimin gave him some advice and said there was a trick to it, so he was able to solve it.

"Director Huang, let me try."

Director Huang immediately stepped aside.

Zhou Zhiming took over: "There is a trick to this. First, pull this one out, and then pull both sides together, and it will be untied."

Under the watchful eyes of Director Huang and the old branch secretary, the packaging rope was untied smoothly.

"Zhiming, I didn't expect you to have this skill!" the old branch secretary praised.

"Old Party branch secretary, I just know this because Yimin told me." Zhou Zhiming was a little embarrassed because he didn't find the secret himself.

When Director Huang saw the packaging rope was opened, he quickly reached out and grabbed a handful of feed.

Hold it in the palm of your hand like a treasure.

If someone who doesn’t know the situation is familiar with the situation, they would think that Director Huang is holding a rare treasure in his hand and would never imagine that it is actually feed.

However, fodder was indeed nothing rare in later generations, but if it were put in today's context, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a treasure.

I saw grains of feed lying in Director Huang's hands.

Lin Guohuai hurried forward to check, and it was exactly the same as what he saw Zhou Zhiming feeding last time.
