Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

If you don’t understand, don’t understand. Just do it like this for now.

This morning, the tractor started moving quickly and the wood was transported into the compound.

The four carpenters had to explain it carefully. Of course, it was not about why they made the desk, but what they should pay attention to.

The desk is the desk commonly used in primary schools in later generations. Zhang Ziming only made slight adjustments in a few places.

After the explanation was completed, the location selection of the brick kiln factory was completely left to Zhang Zhonghe.

He raised his hand and looked at the time. Zhang Ziming had to go to the commune.

Yesterday, I made an appointment with Zhou Jincheng to have another phone call at 10 o'clock.

The telephone lines in Bottle Village will be set up in the next two days, and within three days, all brigade headquarters in the commune will have telephones.

When brigade cadres hold meetings, they don't need to send people on bicycles to notify them.

When it was 1 minute before 10 o'clock, Zhang Ziming dialed the phone. The other party should be waiting by the phone in advance.

It went smoothly and the call was connected.

During the phone call, both parties were very excited, and the second deal was concluded.

The amount of this second transaction is much larger. I made it clear to Zhou Jincheng on the phone. It depends on how much capital he has.

As for the goods, of course they are extremely abundant.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ziming made a second call, to Xu Yimin's office.

When he had his first phone call with Zhou Jincheng yesterday, Zhang Ziming was already prepared.

It was estimated that the time mentioned by Zhou Jincheng would be fine, so Zhang Ziming entrusted Xu Yimin to help buy train tickets.

Xu Yimin lived up to his expectations and handled matters efficiently.

Zhang Ziming had to hurry up.

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

After returning home from the commune, it was past 10:11. If we waited to the county seat, it would be past [-]:[-].

At noon, I followed Xu Yimin to eat in the canteen.

The foundation for the new house was being laid. Zhang Ziming enjoyed watching his father holding a cigarette pouch in one hand and giving directions at any time with the other hand. He was almost catching up with Zhang Zhonghe in this style.

In his previous life, my father seemed to have never been so high-profile, mainly because he didn't have the opportunity.

After chatting with Dad for a few words, Dad said loudly:

"Are you going on a long trip again? Didn't you just come back? Even though your second uncle and I are keeping an eye on the new house, you still have to..."

Before his father could finish speaking, Zhang Ziming interrupted:

"Dad, I will only go out for two or three days this time, just to visit the provincial capital. If everything goes well, I will come back the day after tomorrow."

"You haven't had lunch yet? Are you in such a hurry?"

I feel sorry for my eldest son, who has just been home for two days and has to go out again.

"Mom, Dad, I'll leave right away. I'll eat in the county at noon, don't worry."

After calling Zhang Xiaoyong over and explaining, Zhang Ziming got on the bicycle again.

After taking the train twice before, Zhang Ziming became familiar with the train this time.

This time, the destination is the provincial capital, Qicheng, the provincial capital of Donglu Province.

The second transaction with Zhou Jincheng was scheduled in Qicheng.

The reasons for choosing Qicheng are simple:

First, I don’t want to travel that far by train. Taking the train to Guangcheng is really too tiring and a waste of time;

Second, Zhou Jincheng has relatively wide access, and he can easily get air tickets for him to come by plane;

Third, the transaction volume this time is relatively large. It is still unsafe to bring a large amount of cash back from Guangcheng. If it is brought back from the provincial capital, the distance is short, so there should be no problem;

Fourthly, I just don’t want to reveal the actual location of Sapphire yet.

At six o'clock in the evening, we finally arrived in Qicheng.

Without any extra stop, Zhang Ziming went directly to Qicheng Hotel to stay.

This is the place we made an appointment with Zhou Jincheng. Zhou Jincheng will arrive at noon tomorrow. Qicheng Hotel has a good reputation and is easy to find.

Actually, we can get there if we leave from the county early tomorrow morning, but I am afraid that the train will be delayed.

It is very common for trains to be delayed at this time.

After showing the letter of introduction and paying the room fee, Zhang Ziming finally lay on the big bed in Qicheng Hotel.

This three-star spring bed is much more comfortable than the hard bed at home.

It would be perfect if the ball head comes with you. You can enjoy the spring bed here together.

As the saying goes: If you have white skin and a beautiful spring bed, you can talk about hundreds of millions of dollars in business.

In the early 80s, spring beds were still a rarity.

If you get such a bed in a rural area, you will definitely be criticized because of your mental illness.

In everyone's eyes, all hedonism is capitalism.

The next day, Zhang Ziming got up early. He had no plans for the morning and planned to go to the provincial hospital.

My mother-in-law's illness has always been a concern for the whole family. When I come to the provincial capital this time, I can inquire about it.

A provincial capital is a provincial capital after all, and there are so many buses in the morning.

Unlike Min'an County, a place as big as a palm can only use a few buses.

It only takes 10 minutes to go from the east of the city to the west of the city. The time spent waiting for the bus is worse than walking.

Not to mention people with bicycles, buses are point-to-point, and bicycles can park wherever they want, which is much more convenient.

The Provincial Hospital is located on Jingwuweiqi Road, not very far from Qicheng Hotel. You can get there by taking bus No. 2 at the intersection.

This is what the girl at the front desk of the hotel said.

Zhang Ziming was not very familiar with the provincial capital. As a distinguished guest of Qicheng Hotel, it was easy to ask the front desk for a place.

These days it's all about asking around, so there's no shame in asking for directions, let alone guests staying at Qicheng Hotel?

In addition, Zhang Ziming speaks fluent Mandarin and is courteous and polite. If it weren't for the address on the letter of introduction, no one would believe that he came from the countryside.

The clothes are a bit old, but how can ordinary people live in Qicheng Hotel?

It’s 18 yuan a night!

The room is carpeted, with white sheets and quilts, and a separate bathroom.

At this time, there were probably only one or two hotels like this in Min'an County.

The front desk girl at the hotel only earns a monthly salary of over 30 yuan.

Therefore, the courtesy Zhang Ziming received was still very good.

In fact, in the early 80s, some large and medium-sized cities had begun to have taxis.

There are also some here in Qicheng, but the disadvantage is that there are very few of them. There are probably only a dozen or so in the whole city.

No need to consider taxis, just stick to buses.

Three cents a ticket is so affordable.

When we arrived at the provincial hospital, no one stopped us.

There is a reception room, but they won't stop you or let you register. If you have money, just enter.

If you don't have money, don't go around blindly. No one will say "goodbye" to you after you are discharged from the hospital.

The hospital has arrived, but which department should my mother-in-law consult for this disease?

After thinking for a long time, I might as well find someone to ask.

It’s just you. There’s a slender figure in front of you. I don’t know if it’s a doctor or a nurse, so I’m asking you.

Zhang Ziming quickly stepped forward and asked politely:

"Hello, doctor..."

"Zhang Ziming? Why are you here?"

Before he could finish his words, the other party actually knew Zhang Ziming.

who is this?No impression at all?I, Zhang Ziming, still know people from the provincial hospital?

Why don't I know it myself?

Wearing a big mask, who can tell?
