Siheyuan: A pioneer of morality

After Zhou Jianjun rode to the steel mill, he went to find Liu Hu to get a letter of introduction.

Liu Hu was a little puzzled when he heard Zhou Jianjun's purpose. He asked in confusion: "Jianjun, can't you get supplies from your comrades? Why do you go to the countryside?"

Zhou Jianjun smiled awkwardly and explained: "I'm just curious! I haven't been to the rural areas around Sijiu City yet, so I'll take this opportunity to go and have a look."

"Okay, I'll get you a letter of introduction, and you'll go to the logistics department to get equipment later." Liu Hu stood up and walked out. Just after walking out two steps, he turned back and reminded: "Be sure to pay attention to safety on the way to the countryside. There are still many enemy spies active nearby."

Zhou Jianjun smiled confidently and said: "I would like to meet them and take the opportunity to make another contribution."

"Just talk nonsense!" Liu Hu pointed at Zhou Jianjun with his finger and walked out.

After Zhou Jianjun got the equipment and the letter of introduction, he turned to the back kitchen of the canteen to find Liu Lan. After giving some instructions, he left the steel mill under Liu Lan's reluctant eyes.

After Zhou Jianjun left the steel mill, he went straight to the department store.

When he walked to the counter selling watches, Zhou Jianjun said to the salesperson: "Comrade, I want to buy a watch. What brands of watches are available now?"

The salesperson was sitting inside eating melon seeds. When he heard Zhou Jianjun's question, he walked to the counter impatiently and asked: "Do you have a ticket? You can't buy it without a ticket."

"I have a ticket." Zhou Jianjun said, and handed over the watch ticket in his hand.

The salesperson took a look and then said: "You can only buy Shanghai watches with this ticket, 120 yuan."

Zhou Jianjun was a little confused. This ticket also restricts brands?

"Okay, okay, Shanghai watches are not bad. Anyway, things at this time are durable."

Zhou Jianjun muttered, took out a big black ten from his pocket, counted 12 pieces and handed them to the salesperson.

The salesperson was obviously a little confused when she saw the big black ten.

"In this day and age, there are still people who go out with so much money. I'm afraid he is not the son of a rich family?" She muttered to herself.

The salesperson took the money and quickly took out a watch from the counter and handed it to Zhou Jianjun.

Zhou Jianjun took the watch and tried it on. "You know what, it really looks like that!"

After buying the watch, Zhou Jianjun left directly.

At this time, the salesman recovered from his shock, clapped his hands in annoyance, and said to himself with regret: "Such a handsome guy, so rich, just ask him if he has a girlfriend!"

Zhou Jianjun naturally had no idea what the salesman was thinking. If he knew, he would probably tease the salesman without hesitation: "With your appearance and figure like Zhu Bajie's second aunt, even if you don't have a girlfriend, you dare not find someone like you, for fear of nightmares!"

Zhou Jianjun rode his bicycle, sparking and lightning all the way to Liujiazhuang, and he pedaled the bicycle like a hot wheel.

Even if he rode so fast, he still rode for half a day to get to Liujiazhuang.

The people standing guard at the entrance of the village were the same people Zhou Jianjun had seen last time.

One of the men spotted Zhou Jianjun, and he hurried forward and greeted him warmly: "Comrade, you are here!"

Then, he looked at Zhou Jianjun's back seat curiously. When he found that the back seat was empty, he couldn't help showing a little disappointment on his face and asked: "Comrade, didn't you say you would bring food? Where is the food..."

Zhou Jianjun smiled and responded: "The food is in the back! My car is too small and I can't carry much."

Hearing this answer, the man was immediately delighted and said with a smile: "Then I will take you to find the village chief. He should still be in the village at this time."

Afterwards, Zhou Jianjun met the village chief Liu under the guidance of the man. Before the village chief asked, Zhou Jianjun took the initiative to say: "The food is behind, everyone please be patient!"

The village chief smiled and rubbed his hands, and explained awkwardly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, everyone is really thinking about food and going crazy."

Village chief Liu enthusiastically led Zhou Jianjun into the house and motioned him to sit down and rest.

Then, he turned around to pour water, and said with emotion: "Comrade Zhou, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I really look forward to your coming every day, just like looking forward to the stars and the moon."

After hearing this, Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but feel curious, and he asked: "Village chief, is the food shortage to this extent now?"

Village chief Liu walked to Zhou Jianjun with a water cup, handed him the water cup, then sighed, and said in a heavy tone: "It's almost spring, and it's the busy farming season. But everyone can't even eat enough, how can they have the energy to go to the fields to farm? This really makes us very upset."Oh," Zhou Jianjun sighed, frowning, and asked with some worry and hesitation: "Now, are there really people who can't even eat?" "That's not the case!" Village Chief Liu waved his hand and said seriously: "It's not that they can't eat, but they can't eat enough. If they can't eat enough, how can they have the energy to work?" Village Chief Liu was not completely honest. In fact, the supply of each meal for the villagers is only one-third of the past. He was worried that his request was too harsh and would bring embarrassment and trouble to Zhou Jianjun. Hearing what Village Chief Liu said, Zhou Jianjun muttered in his heart, "Next year will be the three-year difficult period. Now we can't eat enough, so won't people really starve to death next year? "

Although Zhou Jianjun had not experienced the three difficult years in his previous life, he knew a little about it.

Due to the continuous large-scale natural disasters, backward agricultural production and certain factors at that time. This crisis brought serious food shortages to the whole country, and people's lives were greatly affected.

However, it is worth noting that the Chinese government took a series of measures in time to deal with this crisis, including adjusting economic policies, strengthening agricultural production, and launching conservation campaigns.

These efforts alleviated the problem of food shortages to a certain extent and laid the foundation for subsequent economic development.

Seeing that Zhou Jianjun was hesitant to speak, Village Chief Liu had to smile and asked: "Comrade, I don't know how much food you brought us this time, so that I can arrange for someone to prepare something to exchange with you."

Zhou Jianjun came back to his senses, silently calculated the supplies in the warehouse of Taoyuan Xianxiang, and then said: "There are about 3,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 2,000 kilograms of corn. "

Zhou Jianjun knew that these were only half of the supplies in his warehouse, and even with this half of the supplies, Liujiazhuang might not be able to provide enough equivalent items to exchange with them.

"It's okay to suffer a little loss, just treat it as welfare. Anyway, I don't need these things. "Zhou Jianjun thought silently.

After listening to Zhou Jianjun's words, Liu Village Chief's face suddenly showed a complex expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He laughed because these things were enough for the villagers to survive for another month. As for crying, he really couldn't come up with enough things to exchange for so much food.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Village Chief said cautiously: "Comrade Zhou, I'm afraid our village can't come up with so many things to exchange with you."

Zhou Jianjun sighed, pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "Let's take what we have! The missing part is considered as what you owe Liujiazhuang, and you can pay it back later when you have it. "

Hearing this, Village Chief Liu's eyes were red with excitement.

He stood up and walked to Zhou Jianjun, tightly holding Zhou Jianjun's hands, shaking them a few times, and said gratefully: "Comrade Jianjun, thank you so much. You helped us solve a big problem!"
