60s: I have a store

Chapter 83: You should have said it earlier! (Subscribe)
While they were interviewing, the women in the courtyard started discussing heatedly again.

It looks like Yimin is going to be in the newspapers again.

How could there be smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb? It's on fire.

"What do you think, if Mr. Zhou knew this, would he regret it?" one of the aunts couldn't help but ask.

"I definitely regret it. I don't know what Lao Zhou is thinking."

"For a widow, Old Zhou is so foolish!"

"If I had known earlier, I would have introduced a woman to Lao Zhou. My cousin is also a widow, but she has never given birth to a child and is very pretty."

"The one who lost three husbands? Forget it! I'm afraid Old Zhou isn't tough enough."

……

At the end of the interview, Zhou Yimin asked, "Brother Fang, do you want food?"

"Who doesn't want food?" Reporter Fang smiled bitterly.

Another purpose of their coming here today was to buy some food from Zhou Yimin.

After hearing this, the other two buddies also perked up. Their family was also short of food, and their appetite was getting less and less every day.

Others don't understand, but don't the media know something about this? Food production is decreasing across the country! This food shortage will continue.

Therefore, they also have a sense of food crisis and want to get more food at home to cope with the unknown future.

"That's perfect. I recently purchased some. You can just pay me the purchase price."

"Yimin, thank you very much." The other two also followed suit.

Zhou Yimin took out a sack of sorghum, half a bag of rice, and 30 kilograms of peanuts from another room.

Today's 1 yuan purchase includes 100 kilograms of sorghum and 100 kilograms of geese.

Zhou Yimin didn't even want to eat the sorghum, so he simply gave it to reporter Fang and his friends.

"Wow! So many?"

They originally thought that buying twenty or thirty kilograms would be enough.

"This bag is sorghum, do you mind?" Zhou Yimin asked.

mind?

They quickly shook their heads.

Are you kidding me? In this situation, is it their turn to mind? Some villages don't even have wild vegetables to eat, let alone sorghum.

"Brother Fang, please give the sorghum to us!" the other two requested.

Reporter Fang was depressed for two or three seconds, and then he nodded: "Okay!"

He actually wanted sorghum more, firstly because it was cheap, and secondly because it was not so eye-catching, so he could eat it openly. As for rice, he had to eat it behind closed doors to avoid anyone getting jealous.

Zhou Yimin didn't expect that sorghum would become even more popular.

In the end, the other two people shared the 100-jin bag of sorghum, while reporter Fang ate half a 50-jin bag of rice alone, and each of them got 10 jin of peanuts.

Although the price Zhou Yimin offered was a little higher than the pigeon market, they were all happy to accept it. You know, even if the price on the black market is sky-high, as long as it is food, it will be snapped up crazily, and you will miss it if you are slow.

Compared to the black market price, this is already very reasonable.

"Yimin, let's go first!" Reporter Fang and others were very satisfied.

"Brother Fang, take care!"

Zhou Yimin sent them out of the courtyard and did not go home. Instead, he went to the next door courtyard No. 55 to check on Zhou Dazhong.

After walking in, I saw Director Li talking to the people in Yard 55. His words were telling them not to bully Zhou Dazhong because he was a new resident, and it seemed like he was supporting Zhou Dazhong.

Director Li, can’t you see it?

These people have been eyeing that empty house for a long time, right? If it is suddenly taken away by outsiders, they will feel uncomfortable and may even exclude it.

"Director Li, don't worry. Now that Xiao Zhou has moved in, he will be a member of our Courtyard 55." An old man from Courtyard 55 happened to be at home today, and he had to come out and express his opinion.

Zhou Yimin came over and said to everyone: "Uncle Niu, ladies and aunts, Dazhong is my nephew. Please take care of him in the future." Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that Zhou Dazhong had such a relationship.

How could their courtyard not know Zhou Yimin? He could even be said to be the pride of their street. As people from the courtyard next door, they also felt very proud.

"So he's Yimin's relative, that's easy!" the aunts said one after another.

"That's right, you should have said it earlier!"

“Xiao Zhou, I’ll help you clean up later. We’re all from the same courtyard. If you have any problems in the future, come to us.”

……

Zhou Dazhong was a little nervous at first, but when he saw his uncle Sixteenth, he immediately relaxed.

It can be seen that this courtyard also gave face to Uncle Sixteen. Although Director Li was suppressing everyone just now, no one dared to have any opinions, but Zhou Dazhong understood that after Director Li left, there might be a "story" to happen.

After Uncle Sixteen appeared and revealed his relationship to everyone, everyone's attitude became noticeably friendlier.

"My dear ladies, you are so welcome. After a few days when things are stable, I will ask Dazhong to set up two tables and treat everyone to a meal."

Hearing this, the residents in the yard became even more enthusiastic.

Since the house is already owned and the change cannot be made, it would be nice to be able to have a free meal there.

Director Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and had to praise Zhou Yimin for being a good person.

Even though she had intentionally or unintentionally put pressure on Zhou Dazhong and supported him, these people might not necessarily treat Zhou Dazhong well after she left.

"Is your interview over?" Director Li asked Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin nodded: "Yes! Just a few words, how long can it take?"

"Ah! Yimin, are you going to be in the newspaper again?" The old man in the yard, the old man Niu that Zhou Yimin mentioned just now, asked with his eyes wide open.

The other people in the yard looked at each other.

my darling!

How long has it been? Is this in the newspaper again?

Director Li simply took the opportunity to promote it to Zhou Yimin: "Don't you know? Yimin invented the solar cooker. The steel plant expanded its recruitment just to produce solar cookers.

If someone from your hospital is recruited, it will be of benefit to the people to some extent."

With a bang, the residents in the yard started talking.

Yimin is so promising. How great it would be if he was a member of their family?
Now, the yard next door is going to show off again.

When they thought of their children, they were speechless. How could there be such a big difference between them when they have the same brains?

"Da Zhong, pack up quickly, I'll take you out for dinner later." Zhou Yimin ordered.

Zhou Dazhong quickly responded: "Okay."

He thought he was going to eat at the factory.

Little did people know that Zhou Yimin had only been to the factory to eat a few times and was a bit disgusted with the food in the cafeteria.

He only has one room, but it is about 30 square meters, not small. Zhou Dazhong thought that when his salary increased, he would bring his mother and younger brothers and sisters to live in the city.

The most important thing now is to work hard.

"Auntie Li, would you like to come to my house and visit?" Zhou Yimin asked.

Aunt Li?

When the people in the yard heard this, they were stunned.

Okay! I can't afford to offend you!

"Well! Okay, let's go over and have a drink of water." Director Li nodded, then went to the next yard with Zhou Yimin.

After the two of them left, the aunties and grandmas in the yard came forward to help Zhou Dazhong and try to build relationships with him. With Zhou Yimin's help, this young man might have a future, so building relationships with him in advance would be beneficial rather than harmful.
