60s: I have a store

Chapter 27 What are you accusing me of?
He had just experienced the performance of the water pressure well. The water output was not large, but the effect was good and he felt it was worth promoting. Now, he needed a more authoritative and professional analysis and judgment so that he could report to his superiors.

Just as Professor Chen was about to speak, the old Party Secretary of Zhoujiazhuang shouted outside: "Yimin, come in quickly!"

Everyone looked outside and their eyes fell on the young man.

The young people around Professor Chen felt a little jealous. The tool for pressurizing water wells was actually invented by this person, and it was said that he didn't even go to college.

"Old branch secretary, team leader!" Zhou Yimin walked in confidently and greeted them confidently.

The man in a Zhongshan suit who was leading the room had a pen in his chest pocket. He looked quite stylish and his identity seemed to be not simple.

The old branch secretary's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Yimin, let me introduce you. This is the big leader from Sijiu City, and this is Professor Chen Yuliang..." The old branch secretary introduced a few unfamiliar faces to Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin shook hands with him neither servile nor arrogant: "Hello..."

"I heard that Comrade Xiao Zhou works in a steel factory. He is really a promising young man!" The big leader mentioned by the old branch secretary first expressed a friendly attitude.

Professor Chen Yuliang also nodded with a smile: "That's right! They actually invented a water-extracting device like a water-pressurizing well. This will play a very important role in alleviating the drought in our rural areas."

Zhou Yimin quickly shook his head: "Leader, Professor Chen, you are too kind. I did not invent the water pressure well."

The team leader and the old branch secretary became anxious.

The man in the Zhongshan suit and Professor Chen Yuliang were both stunned.

Didn't you invent that?

Just now, the captain of Zhoujiazhuang and the old branch secretary both said that you invented it. This is a bit of a lie. The problem can be big or small.

The young man next to Professor Chen Yuliang couldn't help but feel happy. He looked at the old branch secretary with a serious expression: "You lied about the inventor? There is something wrong with your thinking."

The old party secretary and team leader of Zhoujiazhuang turned pale.

Zhou Yimin turned his head and looked at the guy. From the moment he entered the door, he felt the vague malice of this guy.

"What accusation are you making?" Zhou Yimin asked him bluntly.

Professor Chen Yuliang also frowned and said to his student in a serious tone: "Xiao Jiang, be careful with your words."

The leader in the Zhongshan suit smiled and said, "Listen to Comrade Xiao Zhou, and stop arguing."

The old branch secretary and the team leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the young man with a somewhat unfriendly look.

The guy's face turned pale in an instant, and his hostility towards Zhou Yimin became even stronger.

Zhou Yimin glanced at him and didn't take him seriously. Such a self-righteous, high-minded and incompetent person would only envy others' talents and was the most useless.

He turned his head back and said to the leader in Zhongshan suit: "In fact, water pressure wells have existed in my country since the Song Dynasty. However, the water pressure wells at that time were different from the one I built, but the principle is the same.

I happened to see a related record in a book and became interested in it, so I thought about it and improved it, and it became the water pressure well you see today."

This time it’s clear.

Professor Chen Yuliang not only did not look down on Zhou Yimin, but admired him very much.

Zhou Yimin came prepared and took out the blueprint he had drawn before: "Look, this is my new design..."

It also contains some slightly professional knowledge, such as standard atmospheric pressure, groundwater level, etc., and even some data support, which are analyzed and explained one by one.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, you are such a genius. It's a waste of your talent in the steel plant. Why don't you come to our university for further studies?" Professor Chen Yuliang was immediately moved by his talent.

Zhou Yimin immediately shook his head: "Thank you Professor Chen for your kindness, but I am very satisfied with my current job and life, so I will not go to university anymore."

Going to university would make it inconvenient for him to trade in supplies and upgrade his store. Besides, he didn't pretend anymore, he didn't really like studying and was annoyed by exams and the like.

After hearing this, Professor Chen Yuliang felt a little sorry, but he did not try to persuade her any further, as everyone has their own aspirations.

The "big leader" also spoke.

"Although this water pressure well has existed since the Song Dynasty, Comrade Xiao Zhou has made an indelible contribution! It is your credit that we were able to discover it from ancient books and improve it."

This statement can be considered to have defined the situation.

Zhou Yimin cannot escape credit for this contribution.

Afterwards, he proposed to drill water wells on a large scale and utilize groundwater. After listening to Zhou Yimin's opinions and ideas and combining them with Professor Chen's analysis, he had an idea in mind.

He did not stay any longer and returned to the city as soon as possible to report to the ministry.

The drought situation is severe everywhere now and we cannot waste even a moment.

Professor Chen Yuliang also left an address for Zhou Yimin and told him that if he changed his mind in the future, he could come to him at any time.

As for the classmate Jiang next to him, he will most likely stay away from him in the future. He dislikes that kind of person the most.

"Okay! Professor Chen, take care."

Looking at the back of the man surnamed Jiang, the captain spat on the ground and said, "Damn it! You'd better not show up in Zhoujia Village next time. I'll beat you up every time I see you."

The old branch secretary nodded.

This time I almost got into trouble.

"Old Party Secretary, I have asked the master craftsmen in the factory to make the parts for the water pressure well. It will probably take two days." Zhou Yimin told him.

"Yes! I'll ask Dafu and the others to go into the city and bring them back."

Naturally, Zhou Yimin would not be bothered with such hard work anymore.

"Yimin, thank you!" the captain also spoke.

If it weren't for Zhou Yimin, their village would probably be starving now. There is still such a long time before the harvest, and they don't know how to survive.

Zhou Yimin took out cigarettes, distributed them to the people present, and said, "Captain, I am also from Zhoujiazhuang."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The captain and others were very happy.

You know, some people who move to the city usually don't interact much with their hometowns in the countryside, especially their poor relatives. However, Zhou Yimin did not do that, but did his best to help his fellow villagers in his hometown.

"Let's stop talking. My family is building a house and we're busy!" Zhou Yimin was ready to leave.

"Okay! Then you go back first. If you need any help, just ask. Don't be polite with us."

After watching Zhou Yimin walk away, the old Party secretary said to the people present with a serious expression: "I don't want to hear anyone in the village gossiping about Yimin behind his back. Once discovered, the consequences will be borne by the person himself!"

"Secretary, don't worry! Even if Yimin's family eats dragon meat, we won't be jealous."

"Yes! Uncle Sixteen has always given my kid a lot of delicious food."

……

As soon as Zhou Yimin returned home, he met Zhou Dachun carrying wood.

The old man commanded: "Put it here, put it here! Put it in place for me."
