60s: I have a store

Chapter 86 Zhou Dazhong Returns to the Village (Sixth Update, Please Subscribe)

The old man took a look and understood what was going on. He asked Zhou Dafu to sit down on a chair, and then pinched his ankle with his hand, twisted it twice casually, and rubbed it a few times.

"Stand up and take a few steps." said an old man.

Chow Tai Fook no longer feels any pain in his feet.

Hearing this, he stood up, took two steps, and said in surprise: "Okay."

This doctor is quite amazing!

Even Zhou Yimin was moved.

If this happened in a hospital in the future, they would take all kinds of photos without any hesitation, and might even arrange for you to have a blood test. It's so outrageous.

A minor dislocation might keep you in the hospital for a few days.

After all the operations, you can't be discharged from the hospital without several thousand dollars. After all, a minor cold can cost you several hundred dollars.

"Uncle, you are this." Zhou Yimin raised his thumb to the uncle.

The old man smiled and shook his head: "This is not a serious illness, not worth mentioning, anyone can do it."

It sounds like having hands is enough.

Seeing Zhou Yimin and the others preparing to leave, the old man stopped them and said, "Wait, I have some medicinal wine here, I'll fill it up for you and rub it over the next two days."

After all, they gave me a pheasant.

After taking a small cup of medicinal wine, Zhou Yimin took Zhou Dafu and the others out of the courtyard.

Zhou Yimin considered how to deal with the wild boar and four pheasants.

It could be taken to the steel mill, or even given to Zhou Dazhong. But such a small wild boar is dispensable to the steel mill.

Later, Zhou Yimin thought of the streets and even Uncle Zhang’s research institute.

After thinking about it, I decided to stick to the principle of proximity! I'm too lazy to bother with that.

He brought a few people to the street office.

Director Li was naturally very happy when Zhou Yimin sent him meat, and he accepted all the meat.

"Da Fu, if you catch prey in the future, send it directly to my Aunt Li at the Street Office." Zhou Yimin simply acted as a connecter between the Street Office and Zhou Da Fu and others.

He didn't even think much of this bit of game. The purchasing task of the steel plant was easy for him.

Director Li reacted immediately and realized that Zhou Yimin was helping her.

"That's right! Just send it here in the future. The price won't be bad for you."

Just like this time, wild boars were purchased at 1 yuan per catty, of course, it was the net weight, not the gross weight.

Seeing that Zhou Dafu was still stupid, Zhou Yimin had to wake him up: "The street office sometimes arranges work. Don't you want to work in the city?"

This time, all the young men came to their senses.

"Okay, then we'll send the prey here when we kill it next time."

Fortunately, Uncle Sixteen woke them up.

Zhou Dafu and others wiped their sweat in their hearts and felt a little relieved.

Director Li smiled but said nothing. The subdistrict office can arrange work, but it usually serves the residents of its own subdistrict. If outsiders want to be arranged, it depends on their contributions.

If Chow Tai Fook and his team get a lot of meat, it wouldn't be impossible to arrange a job for them.

This time, Chow Tai Fook sold a total of more than 60 yuan, which was divided among five people, so each person only got more than 10 yuan.

They are still far from their goal.

Zhou Yimin patted them on the shoulder and said, "If you think about it this way, you only make more than ten yuan a day."

In the countryside, it is much better to work hard to earn a few work points. However, the risk is naturally greater. The higher the risk, the greater the return, which is a true saying.

When Chow Tai Fook and the others thought about it, it seemed to be true.

They don’t know yet that even Zhou Dazhong, who works in the steel factory, only earns a dozen yuan a month now.

"Go back early! If you go back too late, you will be discovered." Zhou Yimin reminded them.

"Yes, let's go back quickly. It will be troublesome if my dad finds out that the shotgun is missing."

The guys from Chow Tai Fook left in a hurry, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry. The next day, Zhou Yimin returned to Zhoujiazhuang, bringing with him a few cans of yellow peaches and a slaughtered goose, weighing exactly 10 kilograms.

Zhou Yimin had just returned when Zhou Dazhong followed suit.

He rarely spent money to take a bus to the Red Star Commune and then walked back.

When he returned to the village in his work clothes, he was the most handsome guy. On the way into the village, he made countless villagers envious. Even the unmarried girls in the village began to look at Zhou Dazhong differently.

Everyone knows that Zhou Dazhong entered the steel plant and became a glorious worker.

"Da Zhong, what kind of job do you do in the steel factory?" someone asked.

Zhou Dazhong stopped and said, "Just like Uncle Sixteen, I'm doing purchasing."

"You are fine! Uncle Sixteen is helping you like this."

"Don't say that. Dazhong also paid for it."

Some people curled their lips when they heard this, sneering. It would take more than 400 yuan to enter the steel factory, and work in purchasing. If it weren't for Uncle Sixteen's help, would it be possible? Don't dream.

"Da Zhong, how much is your salary?" someone was curious.

"When I first started working, I was paid the apprentice salary of 18 yuan, and when I became a regular employee, it was 25 yuan." Zhou Dazhong did not hide anything about it; it was not a secret that could not be told.

When everyone heard this, they became even more envious.

They knew that Zhou Dazhong's family had paid 450 yuan. According to the salary of regular employees, it would only take 18 months to earn it back, which is less than two years.

It's a bargain.

"By the way, I just came from the Red Star Commune. I heard that there will be a movie showing there tonight." Zhou Dazhong couldn't help but reveal the news.

Show a movie?
Everyone's attention was diverted.

Working in a steel mill was still too far away for them. But going to the movies was easier as long as they didn't mind walking.

Nowadays, watching movies is one of the few pastimes and entertainment activities for ordinary people.

"Tonight? What time does it start?"

"Around seven o'clock, I heard about it, but I'm not sure about the details," Zhou Dazhong replied.

After revealing the news, Zhou Dazhong rushed straight home.

When his mother saw him, she was shocked and thought that the job had failed.

"Why are you back?"

Zhou Dazhong explained: "Mom! I went to the Red Star Commune to do some shopping today, so I'll come back home by the way."

He then gave a detailed account of his employment, including the fact that he had been assigned a house.

"Mom, you don't know, Uncle Sixteen is so powerful. He has acquaintances in the factory, the street office, and the courtyard house, so I was able to get the house so smoothly.

Uncle Sixteen also asked me to set up a few tables in a couple of days to treat the people in the courtyard to a meal." Zhou Dazhong spilled the beans.

"Nonsense! Of course your sixteenth uncle is very capable, otherwise how could he arrange for you to work in the factory? You should listen to him more in the future, and you will never go wrong." Huang thought to herself, it was all thanks to this sixteenth brother.

Then she added, "Your Uncle Sixteen is right. Someone must have taken a fancy to that house. You must feel uncomfortable about it being yours. It is important to treat everyone to a meal to resolve the conflict and improve neighborhood relations."

After all, you will be living there for a long time, and you will see each other every day, so it is better not to make the relationship awkward.

"Mom will lend you some money later."

Since we need to set up several tables, the little money my son has is not enough.

"Mom, no need. Uncle Sixteen said he would make arrangements for me to adapt to the working environment first."

Huang glared at her son: "Why are you bothering your sixteenth uncle again?"

Zhou Dazhong smiled bitterly: "How dare I disobey Uncle Sixteen's words? Our family owes him enough, and we will pay him back slowly in the future."

But that's what he thought.

Huang thought about it and nodded.

Zhou Dazhong did not stay at home for too long. He came back mainly to report the situation to his mother. He had to rush back to the factory for lunch, where the food was more affordable.
