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

Early the next morning, Zhang Ziming got up early and followed his father to the brigade headquarters.

When I arrived at the brigade headquarters, I saw my second uncle, Zhang Xiaoyong and Zhang Baolin all here.

The second uncle and Zhang Xiaoyong were smoking, and Zhang Baolin was wiping the tractor.

In the rural areas of the 80s and [-]s, tractors were a precious commodity.

Everyone took it like a treasure, especially the man in charge of driving the tractor.

Just like people in later generations scrubbing their cars, Zhang Baolin wiped the tractor very seriously.

This is a Taishan brand 12-horsepower small tractor, not a walking tractor.

The Taishan brand 12-horsepower small tractor is more suitable for complex road sections in rural areas. Whether it is climbing hills or crossing ditches and pits, it is no problem to pull one or two tons of goods.

My second uncle doesn't drive a tractor, so he doesn't have this kind of caring mentality.

I just heard my second uncle say while puffing on his pipe:

"Paulin, you don't need to wipe it now. It will be covered with dirt again later. Just wipe it again when you come back."

Zhang Baolin takes good care of tractors. He shook the rag and said:

"Look what you said, the more you take care of this tractor, the less likely it will break. If you leave it alone, it will definitely break down and make it difficult for you."

Seeing that these people were all there, Zhang Ziming quickly said hello.

One is his second uncle, one is a tractor driver who helps him pull building materials, and the other is his good friend, but they are all good helpers in building his own house.

Later, Zhang Ziming took out a few boxes of cigarettes and handed them to several people.

The second uncle and Zhang Xiaoyong are used to the current Zhang Ziming, and they take things when they are given. If they don't take things, Ziming may complain.

Zhang Baolin was still not used to it, so he held the rag in his hand and pushed it away while saying:

"Ziming, you're welcome. The tractor belongs to the team. The secretary has also said this. You're welcome."

Zhang Ziming came out with a cigarette, half of it for these people, and the other half because he wanted them to be more flexible when they went to pull materials.

We have to go to several places. When we get there, handing the other person a cigarette can save a lot of money.

You are rushing to hand someone a cigarette. If you ask someone something, how can they be too embarrassed not to tell you?

Of course, there are some like this, but they are still a minority.

In this case, the efficiency of pulling materials will be faster, and you will not look at other people's faces.

Zhang Ziming explained, and Zhang Baolin accepted it.

But Zhang Baolin sighed secretly, why is his son so different from Zhang Ziming?

Two days ago, he even made a joke when he was volunteering, which made him a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the identity of the tractor driver is here, so it is not too embarrassing.

Looking at the two brothers Zhang Zhongren and Zhang Zhongyi, Zhang Baolin only felt envious.

How come someone has such a wonderful son and nephew?

Why is his son like a piece of mud?

If he hadn't been driving a tractor in the team, where would he have lost his face?

This morning I also persuaded my son Zhang Yeping, thinking about letting him do something with Zhang Ziming.

Unexpectedly, my son refused to agree to it, even more determined than to kill him.

Last night, Zhang Baolin heard his neighbor's family talking.

Zhang Ziming gave Zhang Xiaoyong a piece of this "really good" cloth, which was in short supply.

It's not that they are jealous of other people's "Zhenliang", it's just that there are only a few young boys in the village.

Seeing that Zhang Ziming was the most promising, it would be great to let his son do something with Zhang Ziming, but he just refused to listen, which really made Zhang Baolin very angry.

You see, Zhang Xiaoyong got another piece of "Chenliang" fabric last night.

I heard that Zhang Ziming gave Zhang Xiaoyong cash before this to help Zhang Xiaoyong improve his life.

Thinking about my son makes me angry.

When it comes to comparison, his own son cannot compare to Zhang Ziming.

At any rate, you can still compare to Zhang Xiaoyong.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Xiaoyong will soon be surpassed in all aspects.

Thinking of this, Zhang Baolin's head was filled with black threads.

Of course, the scene still has to be said.

After putting down the rag, Zhang Baolin said:

"Ziming, do you want to go with us today? Let's set off then. Start early. This will take a lot of trips."

Zhang Ziming wanted to go along and take a look at what the brick kiln was like.

However, I have to go to see Secretary Guo of the commune today.

So, he shook his head and said:

"Uncle Baolin, I won't go. I have other things to do. My father, my second uncle, and Xiaoyong are following us. With you guys here, I believe it will be fine."

I told my dad that we would have a drink at my house when we came back, and the house would prepare wine and food.

Zhang Baolin didn't have much to say. Last time Zhang Ziming arranged three banquets, and he had a great time.

When he thought of good food, Zhang Baolin did not refuse this time.

After making arrangements here, Zhang Ziming turned around and went to the secretary's house without stopping.

When he arrived at the door, he saw Zhang Zhonghe also wiping his bicycle.

His bicycle is like a charming young woman. Although it has been aged, it is still shiny and attractive.

A bicycle that has been used for seven or eight years still looks new.

Zhang Ziming stared at Zhang Zhonghe who was cleaning the car and said:

"Uncle Zhonghe, why are you so careful not to use force when cleaning your bicycle? Are you afraid of damaging it?"

Zhang Zhonghe didn't care, raised his eyes and said:

"Ziming, I can't compare to you. I'm planning to pass this bike on to my family, Zihui."

After saying that, he put away the rag, opened the brace and was about to leave the door.

Zhang Ziming laughed, held the handlebars of the bicycle and said:

"Uncle Zhonghe, look at the savings you have made. I tell you, just go ahead and do it boldly. I will find a way to borrow money. When the factory in our village is built, I may have to buy a motorcycle to match your status. .”

These words made Zhang Zhong tilt his head with a smile. Didn't he want to ride a motorcycle?

Only commune leaders have the opportunity to ride this motorcycle. How can anyone in the brigade ride that thing?

But I was also thinking in my heart, if I rode a motorcycle, wouldn’t I be treated the same as the commune leaders?

I feel happy, but also worried.

How much money can I get from this piece of paper?What kind of factory do you want to set up?

I still don’t have any faith at all.

After riding his bicycle, Zhang Zhonghe couldn't help but ask, what kind of factory do he want to set up?

Zhang Ziming smiled and said:

"Uncle Zhonghe, don't worry. My friend Xu Yimin is the one who wrote the book with me. Yes, I borrowed this bicycle from him. He has a way to help borrow the money, so just go ahead and do it boldly."

Yes, Zhang Ziming blamed Xu Yimin for the source of the money.

Zhang Ziming felt somewhat guilty because he had taken up the quota for a novel written by Xu Yimin.

Therefore, I came up with this excuse to ask Zhang Zhonghe and the entire Bottle Village brigade to thank Xu Yimin for his help, accept Xu Yimin's kindness, and be grateful to Xu Yimin.

This can be regarded as compensation for Xu Yimin.

You can't always take it from Xu Yimin, let him be the "great benefactor".

As for Zhang Ziming himself, he should be a bridge between this "great benefactor" and the village.

Regarding the start-up funds and policies, you can push it to Xu Yimin. As for the rest, you have to ask for it from Secretary Guo who is about to meet.
