60s: I have a store

Chapter 421 The Beauty of Humanity

The truck driver fiddled with it for a long time, his back soaked with sweat, but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with the thing.

Passers-by gradually gathered around, and trucks and motorcycles, which were rarely seen at other times, also appeared.

So many people came to join in the fun, and some bold people even started to touch it gently.

After seeing this situation, Zhou Yimin said directly: "Comrade, let me try!"

The truck driver was a little confused after hearing this, but he couldn't figure it out himself: "Then I'll trouble you, comrade."

After saying that, he gave up his seat.

Zhou Yimin went forward to check. Zhang Yan stood by, handing them tools and helping them wipe their sweat. The people around them kept staring at the three busy people.

The truck driver was not idle either, he also helped out and gave advice from time to time.

As the sky grew darker, more and more people in the crowd lit up their flashlights, and the faint light illuminated the repair site.

After some trouble, Zhou Yimin finally found the fault: "The spark plug was seriously carbonized and the ignition was not smooth."

But a new problem arose: the truck driver did not have any extra spark plugs.

"Comrade, please take me back to the factory on your motorcycle and bring a new one to replace it."

He had no choice but to speak like this.

Zhou Yimin said at this time: "Yanzi, go to the motorcycle, there is a tool box, help me get it."

Zhang Yan nodded and followed Zhou Yimin's instructions.

He soon saw the toolbox on the motorcycle and took it.

After Zhou Yimin took the toolbox, he opened it and found nothing unusual on the top layer. It was no different from an ordinary toolbox.

But after opening a compartment, taking out several spark plugs from it, and selecting one that was suitable for the truck from several spark plugs.

After replacing the new spark plug, Zhou Yimin said, "Comrade, try to start the engine."

The truck driver was skeptical and tried to start the engine. The truck made two "thumping" sounds and finally started again.

The crowd cheered. Zhang Yan jumped up happily and hugged Zhou Yimin: "Yimin, you are so amazing!"

The truck driver got out of the car immediately and shook Zhou Yimin's hand excitedly: "Comrade, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know this."

Zhou Yimin waved his hand: "It's okay, I just helped a little."

The truck driver suddenly remembered and asked quickly, "Comrade, are you also a truck driver? How can I return this spark plug to you when the time comes?"

Zhou Yimin didn't want it at first, but thinking about the current environment, he said: "I'm not a truck driver, but I can drive and do some repairs."

"I'm Zhou Yimin from the purchasing department of the steel plant. Just come and find me when the time comes."

The truck driver nodded, as he had to hurry back, so he left without staying for long.

The people who came to watch left when they saw that there was nothing fun to be had.

Zhang Yan tentatively said, "Yimin, are you afraid that the truck driver won't return your spark plugs?"

Everything needs a ticket now, let alone spark plugs, which are scarce and cannot be obtained even if you have connections.

Zhou Yimin said quietly: "First of all, I have to believe in the beauty of human nature. I believe he will definitely pay me back."

Zhang Yan nodded. Although she didn't trust the truck driver, she believed in Zhou Yimin's vision.

But at this time Zhou Yimin added: "I just wrote down the license plate of the truck. If he doesn't return it, I can find him." Although a spark plug is nothing to him, he doesn't like the feeling of being cheated.

When Zhang Yan heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had just said that she believed in the goodness of human nature, but now she turned around and said these things.

Then the two of them got on the motorcycle and slowly drove away.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the two people's shadows into long ones. Zhou Yimin rode the repaired motorcycle and carried Zhang Yan slowly towards home.

Along the way, the two didn't talk much, just quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility and recalling every detail of the day.

Zhang Yan leaned gently on Zhou Yimin's back, put her arms around his waist, felt his body temperature, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

This day was filled with surprises, laughter, and small setbacks, but it made her feel extremely happy. She recalled Zhou Yimin scooping apples for her by the lake, and the two of them fumbling around on the boat, and her mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Yimin, I'm really happy today. Can we go out and play again in the future?" Zhang Yan broke the silence and said softly.

Zhou Yimin responded with a smile: "Okay, let's go out more often in the future and go to more fun places."

The next morning, after Zhou Yimin got up, he bought the flash sale products in the store as usual.

There are one hundred ducks, one hundred kilograms of rapeseed oil, one hundred kilograms of cherries, and one hundred kilograms of tomatoes.

After getting dressed, I rode my motorcycle towards the steel plant.

I haven't been back to the steel plant for such a long time. Although the leaders in the factory won't say anything, I still have to go back when I have time and show my face. I'm afraid that those people will spread the news and I will be imprisoned, which would be bad.

At this time, it is still very important to have a good reputation.

Along the way, the employees of the steel plant took a few more glances at the motorcycle when they saw it, especially when they saw that the person sitting on it was Zhou Yimin.

They were all shocked.

I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a while, Zhou Yimin was already riding a motorcycle.

Zhou Yimin ignored him and went straight to the factory gate.

When the security personnel saw that it was Zhou Yimin, they did not stop him but let him go.

Zhou Yimin threw a cigarette to each of them. This kind of social etiquette has to be handled well.

After returning to the purchasing department, I saw Zhou Dazhong sitting in the office.

"Dazhong, come to my office for a moment?"

As soon as Zhou Dazhong heard the familiar voice, he immediately followed Zhou Yimin to the office.

As soon as Zhou Yimin sat down, he asked, "Dazhong, has anything happened in the purchasing department recently?"

He arranged Zhou Dazhong to work in the purchasing department because he thought that he did not have much time in the factory and he needed someone to help keep an eye on things.

When I come back, I can tell you everything that happened recently.

Zhou Dazhong answered honestly: "Uncle Sixteen, nothing major has happened recently, and everyone is trying to compete for first place, so they are working hard to purchase supplies."

Zhou Yimin nodded after hearing this. It was good that nothing happened. It would be best if the steel plant remained peaceful.

"Dazhong, have you gone to Shangshui Village to collect chickens?"

Zhou Dazhong was a little dumbfounded: "Uncle Sixteen, when will you let me go to Shangshui Village to collect chickens?"

Zhou Yimin was a little dumbfounded. Did he forget? However, he still said, "Call Dafu and his master, and drive to Sheung Shui Village to collect chickens!"
