60s: I have a store

Chapter 437 The Old Party Secretary Has Good News

On the way back, the remaining two people, like Zhou Zhiming and his team, were responsible for the return journey.

Maybe because someone had demonstrated it to him before, he did a little better than Zhou Dazhui, but not much better.

If it were someone who was prone to motion sickness, he would have vomited all over the place long ago.

Finally returning to Zhoujiazhuang, Zhou Zhiming and his friends were very happy. This was considered a graduation exam, and they passed Zhou Yimin's test.

Zhou Yimin congratulated him, "Brother Zhiming, you are already a qualified driver. You should practice more when you have nothing to do. Otherwise, if you don't drive for a long time, you will definitely regress."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiming and the others said, "Okay, we will practice more when we have nothing to do."

Zhou Yimin said, "You guys continue to practice, but you have to supervise each other. Brother Zhiming, you are responsible."

After saying that, he left. He had other things to do now.

Zhou Zhiming and the others were left behind, but they still had to practice: "Dazhu, you go first. You were the worst just now."

Zhou Dazhu had no choice but to nod.

So he got on the tractor again and started practicing here in the village.

When Zhou Dahu saw this scene, his eyes were full of envy. If that incident had not happened, he would also be practicing driving a tractor!

But don’t think about it.

Just do your farm work!

Zhou Dahu has not had a good time these past two days. Although the people in the village would not say anything to him in front of him, they have never stopped talking about him behind his back.

There was no way. After causing such a big disaster, he was not expelled from Zhoujiazhuang. It was already considered merciful by the old branch secretary.

Soon Zhou Yimin found the old branch secretary.

"Old Party Secretary, I have good news for you!"

When the old branch secretary heard this, he immediately became alert and a little anxious: "Yimin, what's the good news?"

Seeing that the old branch secretary was so anxious, Zhou Yimin handed over his scientific research notes.

Although the old branch secretary was a little confused, he still took it and opened it to take a closer look.

After reading for a few minutes, he couldn't bear to read any more: "Yimin, I know each word separately, but when they are put together, I don't understand."

"Where did this research notebook come from?"

But I can still understand roughly that this is a scientific research note, and it is a scientific research note about agriculture. Although I don’t quite understand it, I feel it should be very valuable.

Zhou Yimin answered truthfully: "I bought this research notebook when I saw it just now when I went to the market with Zhou Dazhu and others."

The old Party Secretary guessed Zhou Yimin's thoughts: "Yimin, you don't want to use the village's land to conduct experiments, do you?"

Zhou Yimin nodded: "Old Party Secretary, you are still so smart."

"All the records here are good methods for agricultural research. Can you allocate a small piece of land to our village so that I can do experiments? If it succeeds, the grain output of our village will definitely increase greatly, and we will never have to worry about not having enough food in the future!"

The old branch secretary was a little embarrassed. If it were someone else, he would have scolded the person and driven him away. However, since it was Zhou Yimin who said this, he could only speak slowly: "Yimin, these methods do seem new, but our ancestors have been farming according to the old ways for generations. Will this new method work? If it fails, the land will be wasted. This is no small matter."

Zhou Yimin could also see the old branch secretary's dilemma: "Old branch secretary, I need a piece of land here. When the harvest comes, I will give the grain to the village according to the yield." Anyway, he was not short of grain. The old branch secretary was just worried that the experiment would not be successful and then a piece of land would be abandoned. In this way, even if it failed, the village would not suffer any loss.

The old Party secretary spoke up quickly, fearing that if he spoke a little slower, Zhou Yimin would think too much: "Yimin, that's not what I meant. You don't have to do this. Why don't you take that three-acre piece of land at the east end of the village and try it out!"

"But there is a prerequisite, which is that you must be careful and not let the land go to waste."

He didn't want this little thing to cause any rift in his relationship with Zhou Yimin. Once there was a rift, it would be impossible to go back to the way it was before.

Otherwise, the old branch secretary would not have made such a big decision. You know, in the eyes of rural people, land is as important as life. Without land, you can't grow food, and without food, you will starve to death.

Zhou Yimin hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, old branch secretary."

After saying that, he left, because he had only glanced at the scientific research notes. Since he was going to conduct the experiment, he must understand everything in the notes.

When the old branch secretary saw this scene, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then continued to work, sitting on a small stool, skillfully weaving a bamboo basket, with the bamboo strips flying up and down in his hands.

Yimin got the land with great joy, and after returning home, he began to study the contents of the notebook eagerly.

However, as his research deepened, he felt like he was walking into a foggy forest, and the further he went, the more confused he became.

The special fertilizer ratio mentioned in the notebook involved some chemical elements he had never come into contact with before. The complex proportions were like a tangled mess, leaving him at a loss as to where to start.

There were also methods for hybridizing crops, the operational details of which were vague, as if they were deliberately playing hide-and-seek with him.

After reading for so long, it is not realistic to want to read it completely. It seems that I need to ask someone for help.

But among the people I know, no one is engaged in agricultural research, which makes it a bit difficult!
Just when Zhou Yimin was still suffering from a headache.

The old man called out, "Yimin, stop studying and come out to eat."

After hearing this, Zhou Yimin said: "Okay, I'll go out now."

After all, man is like iron and food is like steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will feel very hungry. Moreover, you can’t think at all when you are hungry.

It’s better to eat first before continuing to think!
It seems as if he will not give up until he has read it thoroughly.

Soon they were at the table for dinner, and at this time Zhou Yimin's grandmother said, "Yimin, bring something to your Uncle Zhang tomorrow!"

Zhou Yimin was a little confused: "Grandma, what about Uncle Zhang? What else do you want to get?"

The old man was very disappointed: "How many Uncle Zhangs do you have, kid? He must be your girlfriend's father!"

Zhou Yimin finally reacted: "Okay, what do you want to get?"

Grandma Zhou Yimin said, "Bring those things from the kitchen over tomorrow."

Zhang Yan hasn't married yet, so she must establish a good relationship with Zhang Jianshe, otherwise it would be bad if she regrets it later.

Moreover, both Grandpa Zhang Yan and Grandma Zhou Yimin like him very much. No matter in terms of appearance or academic qualifications, he is completely worthy of Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin replied: "Okay, I'll take it over tomorrow."

Suddenly I remembered, isn't Uncle Zhang the person I'm looking for? Uncle Zhang works in a research institute, so he must know a lot of people who are engaged in scientific research. If he knows someone who is engaged in agriculture, that would be great.

I must go and ask about it tomorrow.
