60s: I have a store

Chapter 69 Going to the target's house
It was another morning, and Zhou Yimin put 100 kilograms of corn and 100 cans of yellow peaches into his backpack.

In this era, canned yellow peaches are not only rare but also expensive. If you have two cans of this when visiting relatives and friends, you will definitely be very proud.

In later generations, canned yellow peaches have almost become the memory of a generation. It has a magical power that can cure all diseases. If you are sick, just eat canned yellow peaches.

In fact, this comes from the fact that many adults would buy canned yellow peaches to coax their children to take medicine when they were sick. Over time, the saying of eating canned yellow peaches when sick came into being.

It is a kind of psychological comfort and has no scientific basis, but sometimes psychological comfort is much better than taking medicine.

Today, Zhou Yimin plans to go to Uncle Zhang's house.

"Grandma, I'm going to work!" Zhou Yimin finished eating the breakfast made by his grandma.

"Go ahead! Be careful on the road."

On the way, Zhou Yimin was thinking about what to bring to the door.

You can take a few cans of canned yellow peaches I made today.

I don’t know if Uncle Zhang’s family is short of food. He has two elders, but they don’t live together. He has three daughters. Zhou Yimin’s partner is Zhang Yan, the eldest daughter; the second daughter is Zhang Yu, who is still in high school; and the youngest daughter is Zhang Lu, who is in junior high school.

Zhou Yimin thought about it and took out 1 bundles of noodles that he had bought for 5 yuan before, each bundle weighing 1 jin.

I cut another 5 kilograms of pork.

With these three things, you shouldn't lose face when you visit your future father-in-law's house, right?

……

At this time, the senior management of the steel plant held another meeting.

A product was moved to the conference room.

If Zhou Yimin were there, he would find that was the solar cooker he wanted.

"So, this is Comrade Zhou Yimin's latest invention? What does it do?" Director Hu looked at the thing in front of him, a little confused.

Director Liao of the workshop nodded and said, "Director, I suggest again that Comrade Zhou Yimin be transferred to our workshop. His brains can only be used by us..."

"Liao, you are such a bullshit, what are you daydreaming about?

Comrade Zhou Yimin is from our logistics procurement department. Ask them, who doesn't know? Poaching my people in front of me, what a jerk!
Director, I have already communicated with Comrade Zhou Yimin. He is very satisfied with his current position and does not want to be transferred to the workshop..." Director Ding was furious and scolded Director Liao.

Director Hu was also worried and quickly comforted him, "Since Comrade Zhou Yimin likes to stay in his original position, we must also fully consider his personal wishes. We will discuss the transfer later."

In fact, Director Hu also wanted to say that it was a bit of a waste to put Zhou Yimin in the Logistics and Procurement Department.

It's only been a short time since they came up with another invention, but I don't know what it's used for.

"Now, what we are discussing is the role and function of this product."

This time, everyone was silent.

Zhou Yimin didn't tell anyone what it was used for. Who knows?

"Or, we should ask Comrade Zhou Yimin to come back," suggested a deputy factory director.

The inventor is not here, what are they guessing about?

So they had to send someone to find Zhou Yimin.

At this time, Zhou Yimin came to Zhang Jianshe's compound.

The old man in the compound actually recognized Zhou Yimin and teased him, "Aren't you Yan Zi's boyfriend? What's your name? When are you going to get the marriage certificate with Yan Zi?"

Zhou Yimin offered a cigarette and said, "Uncle, my name is Zhou Yimin. When I will get married depends on Yan Zi's opinion."

"Well! The young comrade is very good, come in!"

As soon as Zhou Yimin entered, the women in the courtyard started talking and it turned into a drama.

"I saw pork and thought he was here to propose marriage!" These days, food is in short supply, let alone meat. Why would he bring meat to someone's house if not to propose marriage?
"Yes! So, what does Yan Zi's boyfriend do? Is he also in college?"

"I heard Lao Zhang talk about it a few times. Now he's working as a buyer."

"Hello, buyer!"

"Is he worthy of Yan Zi? Yan Zi is a college student now." "What's wrong with being a college student? You don't know yet, do you? The guy just now is an inventor. He was even featured in the newspaper some time ago."

Those who didn't know the inside story were all dumbfounded.

……

"Oh! It's Yimin, come in quickly. You haven't been here since you went to work. I was talking to your uncle Zhang about you last night."

A short-haired woman was hanging clothes, and when she saw Zhou Yimin, her face immediately lit up with joy.

She is Zhang Yan's mother and Zhou Yimin's future mother-in-law.

"Aunt Zhang, I was a little busy after I started working, and then I went back to visit my grandparents, so..." Zhou Yimin wanted to explain.

Aunt Zhang nodded with a smile on her face. The more she looked at Zhou Yimin, the more satisfied she became.

In fact, their whole family is paying attention to Zhou Yimin.

When they learned that Zhou Yimin did not continue his studies and chose to work, his family felt a little regretful. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yimin appeared in the newspaper without knowing it.

"Yes, Aunt Zhang knows. You also invented the water-pressurizing well. Your Uncle Zhang and I both read about it in the newspaper."

She sighed in her heart: It is true that like fathers, like sons, like daughters. Mr. Zhou is very capable. Even if his son does not study, he will still be good.

In this marriage, her daughter Yan Zi got a great bargain.

"Aunt Zhang, the water pressurized well was not invented by me..." Zhou Yimin quickly clarified.

Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "It's all the same, all the same."

"Brother Yimin!" Inside the house, two girls greeted him. They were the future sister-in-law Zhang Yu and Zhang Lu.

At this moment, both of them showed a hint of admiration in their eyes.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaolu, aren't you going to school?" Zhou Yimin asked in surprise.

"Brother Yimin, today is a day off!"

Zhou Yimin really didn't pay much attention. He only knew that Aunt Zhang was usually at home during this time, so she came at this time.

He took out a handful of White Rabbit candies and put them in Zhang Lu's hand: "You two sisters, share it!"

"Mom, Brother Yimin gave us White Rabbit candy." Zhang Lu immediately showed off, very happy. Not to mention that she is in junior high school, even adults would be happy to get White Rabbit candy.

"Yimin, why give her so much? Keep some for yourself." As Aunt Zhang said this, her eyes were still fixed on her little daughter, with a strong warning tone.

Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "A friend gave it to me. I don't eat it. It sticks to my teeth. Aunt Zhang, please let Xiaolu and the others eat it!"

Then he took out pork, noodles, and canned yellow peaches from the basket.

Aunt Zhang and her three daughters were all stunned.

These are all rare and good things!

Recently, their family also started eating corn noodles.

There were a dozen eggs in the house that had been stored for a long time, but they were secretly taken to the research institute by Lao Zhang. She got angry about this, and Xiao Lu cried even more miserably.

"Oh! Yimin, take it back, take it back." Aunt Zhang said hurriedly.

If someone came to propose marriage, she would accept it.

But this is not the case!

"Aunt Zhang, you know I'm a buyer, so I always have access to this stuff. Besides, I'm the only one at home in the city, how much can I eat?"

"Take it back for your grandparents to eat." Aunt Zhang refused again.

"My grandparents have some too. I go back almost every day recently..." Zhou Yimin finally persuaded Aunt Zhang to accept those things.

"Zhang Lu, go call your father back. Zhang Yu, go find your sister." Aunt Zhang instructed her two daughters.
