60s: I have a store

Chapter 385 Technology changes life
The old branch secretary did not wait for the person to install the telephone at the village entrance, but instead waited for the good news brought by Zhou Xuan'an.

"Xuan'an, are you telling the truth?" The old branch secretary looked unconvinced.

"Old Party Secretary, do you think I would joke about such a thing?" Zhou Xuan said.

The old branch secretary also knew Zhou Xuan'an's character, so he quickly called a few more people to go together and transport the black bear back.

Soon everyone transported the black bear back to the village.

When the villagers saw the black bear, they couldn't help but gather around to watch.

"Why are you still gathering around? Have you finished your work?" the old Party Secretary asked loudly.

After hearing the old branch secretary's words, the surrounding villagers all returned to their respective jobs.

When Zhou Yimin heard that someone in the village had killed a black bear, he ran over to join in the fun.

Aren't bears supposed to be hibernating now?

"Brother Xuan'an, how did you find this black bear? And your shooting skills are so accurate that you shot it in the head with one shot." Zhou Yimin was a little curious?

"This is none of my business. I went over there because I heard Zhou Dawen shouting for help. I was scared at first," replied teacher Zhou Xuan'an.

Zhou Yimin looked around and did not see any trace of Zhou Dawen. It seemed that he had slipped away on purpose. It seemed that the matter was not simple, otherwise he would not have been so secretive.

Just at this time, the people who installed the telephone finally arrived at Zhoujiazhuang.

At first I thought they had heard it wrong, but it turned out that they were right and were coming to a village to install a telephone.

What’s the point of installing a telephone in a village that doesn’t even have electricity? Are they just going to be used as decoration?
Although I was curious, I still came and installed it obediently after receiving the order.

Just as he was about to enter the village, he was stopped by the Zhoujiazhuang security team.

"Comrade, what are you doing in Zhoujiazhuang?"

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Huang Jianhua said: "We were sent by the commune to install the telephone."

At this time, the old branch secretary also returned to the village entrance, waiting for the person to install the telephone, but unexpectedly, the person had already come in.

"Hello, comrades. I am the Party Secretary of Zhoujiazhuang."

Huang Jianhua: "Hello, comrade."

The old branch secretary clapped his hands and the security team immediately let them pass.

Then he took Huang Jianhua into Zhoujiazhuang.

When we entered Zhoujiazhuang, we found that it seemed different from ordinary rural areas.

Huang Jianhua looked up and found that Zhoujiazhuang had electricity. It seemed that this village was very unusual!

We soon arrived at the village office. It was called an office, but it was actually just a house where many farm tools needed by the village were stored.

There was no other way. After much thought, this was the only suitable place. It wouldn't be suitable to install it in anyone else's home, so in the end we decided to decide to do it here.

Huang Jianhua and his colleagues started working, and the old branch secretary watched carefully at the side, fearing that something might be installed incorrectly.

However, even if the installation was incorrect, the old branch secretary couldn't tell, but he still enjoyed it.

If other people in the village weren't busy, there would definitely be a lot of people coming here to watch.

After more than an hour of hard work, the phone was finally installed.

Then pull the telephone line in Zhoujiazhuang and continue pulling it to where there are telephone lines.

The old Party secretary couldn't help but ask: "Comrade, how much does it cost to install this phone?"

Huang Jianhua replied: "A phone costs at least two hundred yuan, plus the cost of the phone line and other miscellaneous expenses, it will probably cost more than two hundred or three hundred yuan!"

The old Party secretary was shocked by the price. He didn't expect that a telephone would cost so much. Fortunately, the commune paid for it. Although the village could afford it, it just couldn't bear to do so.

Although a phone is a symbol of strength, it doesn't seem worthwhile to exchange it for so much money.

But free ones are another matter.

After Zhou Yimin learned that the village telephone had been installed, he found the old Party secretary and asked, "Old Party secretary, are we going to keep the black bear we just shot in the village or sell it?"

"Sell it! We haven't finished eating the fish we caught last time. There's no need to keep so much meat." The old branch secretary thought about it and gave an answer.

"Okay, the telephone in the village has just been installed, so I will call the factory directly and ask Dazhong to come and take the black bear away!" Zhou Yimin said after learning of the old branch secretary's choice.

He then turned the dial on the phone and dialed the call in a short while.

"Chief Wang, I'm Zhou Yimin. Could you please notify Zhou Dazhong to return to the village?"

Section Chief Wang didn’t expect that the call was from Zhou Yimin. Could it be that Zhoujiazhuang also had a telephone installed?
"Okay, I'll send someone to notify them now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The old branch secretary stood aside, having never imagined that in the past he had to send people into the city to notify people, and the round trip would take at least two or three hours.

Unexpectedly, something that took two or three hours before can now be accomplished in less than two minutes.

"Yimin, is this all that's needed?" The old branch secretary was a little bit unbelieving.

There was no way. I had only heard about the telephone before and how powerful it was, but this was the first time I saw how powerful it was.

"That's right. As long as you know the other party's number, dialing and answering is almost the same as a normal conversation." Zhou Yimin said.

"Amazing! Technology really changes our lives!" The old branch secretary couldn't help but sigh.

Section Chief Wang hung up the phone and sent someone to call Zhou Dazhong over.

Zhou Dazhong felt a little strange at first, but he still went to Section Chief Wang's office.

Knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

After Zhou Dazhong got permission, he pushed open the door of the office and stood in front of him stiffly: "Chief Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Yimin, someone just called and asked you to go back to the village. I guess you caught some prey!" said Section Chief Wang.

Zhou Dazhong breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be like this: "Okay, Chief Wang, I'll go back now."

After saying that, he left without giving Wang Weimin a chance to speak. He originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhou Dazhong leaving, he could only hold it in.

In this way, Zhou Dazhong couldn't wait to go to the place where the bicycles were parked, then rode his beloved bicycle and rushed back towards Zhoujiazhuang.

After more than an hour, we finally got back to Zhoujiazhuang.

Zhou Dazhong was shocked by the changes before his eyes. It wasn't a long time since he last returned to the village. How come there were such big changes after just a short period of time?

I was still watching Zhou Zhiming directing the villagers to build a house. I had some money, so I stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Zhiming, why do you want to build such a big house? And it's sealed all around. Won't we be frozen to death in the winter?"

"Dazhong, you don't know! This is a feed processing workshop. Yimin said to build it like this." Zhou Zhiming replied.

When Zhou Dazhong heard that it was built according to Zhou Yimin's requirements, he did not ask any further questions.

"Uncle Zhiming, do you know where Uncle Sixteen came from?" Zhou Dazhong asked?

"As for Yimin, I'm not quite sure either," Zhou Zhiming replied.

There was no other way, I could only wander around the village and see if I could bump into him! Anyway, there was no rush, as the task for this month had already been completed.
