Chapter 173 Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly
Zhou Yimin definitely knows how to drive. Although the cars of this era are somewhat different from those of later generations, they are simpler to operate.
"I learned from someone for a few days before, and I already had a driver in my yard. The main thing is that I plan to use this car for two days, and I can't let the driver from the factory stay with me for so long, right?" Zhou Yimin said.
He didn't lie. The deceased son of Grandma Xu from the Siheyuan courtyard was once a truck driver in the factory.
Who among Zhou Yimin’s age has not ridden in Uncle Xu’s truck?
Who knows whether he has learned from Uncle Xu?
Therefore, Zhou Yimin's explanation still stands up to scrutiny.
Upon hearing this, Section Chief Wang was immediately relieved and nodded: "I'll apply for you. But you have to come with us and drive around twice for us to see."
"Okay! No problem." Zhou Yimin nodded.
It's just manual transmission!
The logistics department already has the qualifications to use cars. As a section chief, it is not difficult for Wang Weimin to apply for a car, and he does not even need Director Ding to negotiate.
In addition, Zhou Yimin is a special person in the steel plant and few people would mess with him.
"This is it. It's fully fueled." Wang Weimin pointed at the truck in front of him and said to Zhou Yimin.
The meaning is very clear, which is to let Zhou Yimin go up and drive a few laps to see how it goes.
I'm not worried about the car having problems, I'm worried about Zhou Yimin having problems.
Now, Zhou Yimin is the darling of their steel plant. If he has any winter melon and tofu, Director Hu and other factory leaders will tear him apart as a small section chief.
Zhou Yimin understood what he meant, opened the car door and entered the driver's seat.
He first took a quick look at the cab, understood what was going on, turned the key, and started the car. He was a little unsure at the start and almost stalled, but he still drove safely for two circles within everyone's sight.
"How's it going? They all said it's fine."
Wang Weimin was slightly surprised, but also relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay! Go ahead! Be careful and pay attention to safety."
Zhou Yimin stopped talking nonsense and drove the shabby truck straight to Zhoujiazhuang. When he was almost there, he stopped the truck and put food in it, all corn.
Corn is cheap!
Sweet potatoes and potatoes are cheaper, but you can't fool people with them. After all, it's a polyethylene film factory, and people probably don't think highly of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
When entering the village, I was stopped.
When the villagers saw that it was Zhou Yimin who was driving, they were very surprised and quickly gave way.
"Yi Min can actually drive."
"Is it strange that Uncle Sixteen can drive?"
Someone suddenly asked this question, leaving everyone around speechless.
Yes! Yimin is so capable, isn't it reasonable that he can drive?
The car stopped on the school playground. The old branch secretary and others rushed over, thinking that Zhou Yimin was sending something to the village again! This kind of truck entered the village for the first time, and they all came to see it.
"Yimin, what's in the car?" asked the old branch secretary.
Zhou Yimin did not hide the truth and said, "It is corn. A batch of plastic film will be delivered to our village today. Secretary, please ask the villagers to pay attention and let them in."
These corns are used to replace plastic film.
With those plastic films, we can grow crops in our village even when it's cold. I'll teach you how to do it later.
We will tell the public from now on that the plastic film was exchanged between Zhoujiazhuang and the plastic film factory.”
He took the opportunity to make things clear.
How could the old branch secretary and the team leader not understand? They nodded repeatedly.
The captain said, "In that case, I will just connect with the people at the plastic film factory later."
"That's right! This is the best." The old branch secretary also agreed.
Zhou Yimin nodded: "Okay, let's do it!"
Zhou Yimin planned to let Zhoujiazhuang handle these matters in the future.
The old branch secretary wrote down the account for this batch of corn.
They knew very well that the plastic film was for the village, and it was impossible for Zhou Yimin to pay so much. He had used his connections to get the plastic film, which was enough for Zhoujiazhuang, and it was not right to ask him to pay for it.
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly!
Therefore, every time Zhou Yimin paid out of his own pocket to solve the village’s problems, the old branch secretary would take note of it.
When the village is able to repay, it will start repaying.
"Hurry up, move everything down." The old party secretary said to the villagers who were watching.
There is quite a lot of corn kernels in the truck when unloaded.
Someone asked: "Sixteenth brother, can we really grow crops in winter with plastic film?"
You know, at that time, even the water will freeze, and the pressurized wells may not be useful. At that time, watering will become a problem. Moreover, the land will become very hard. How to solve it?
They are professionals in growing crops, but faced with such a situation, they are helpless.
“It’s not difficult. As long as the major elements of plant growth, such as temperature, light, water, and soil, are met, they can grow.
Although it is cold in winter, there is still sunlight and the soil is not lacking. The water pumped from the ground ten meters deep should not freeze and can be used.
The most difficult thing is probably the temperature.
When it's cold, how do we live? We stay in the house, warm ourselves by the fire, etc., right?
We can also build greenhouses for crops and light fires inside to raise the temperature inside," Zhou Yimin explained in a simple way.
There was some knowledge that they probably wouldn't understand even if he told them, so he was too lazy to explain it.
For example, plant growth requires photosynthesis. Photosynthetic plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic matter that stores energy and releases oxygen.
Burning fire inside can not only provide temperature, but also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide.
The increase in carbon dioxide concentration can also further increase the temperature. Isn’t the famous greenhouse effect caused by the release of carbon dioxide?
The villagers probably understood.
Even if I don’t understand, I still feel it’s powerful.
Regardless of whether everyone understood or not, Zhou Yimin did not intend to explain it a second time. He drove the car to the edge of the playground, pulled out the car key, and walked home.
The old branch secretary and the team leader were left behind to direct everyone in the work.
Before I got home, I ran into Zhou Dachun. The only time he didn't have a messy hair was during the wedding, but soon he returned to his original look. The messy hair almost became his trademark.
He was carrying a piece of wood. When he met Zhou Yimin, he quickly and carefully put the wood aside and leaned it against a stone.
Then he called him Uncle Sixteen and said hello to Zhou Yimin.
Zhou Yimin took out a pack of Huazi and handed him one, knowing that this guy loved it.
Zhou Dachun had never smoked such a good cigarette before, and he was immediately as happy as if he had found gold.
In the entire Zhoujiazhuang, it is estimated that only a very few people such as Zhou Xuqiang have smoked it, and they were all given by Zhou Yimin.
"Where did you find this piece of wood?" Zhou Yimin looked at the wood in front of him and felt that it was Huanghuali wood! Where did he get this stuff?
Zhou Dachun laughed and said, "We ran out of wood at home, so we went into the mountains to look for some trees. Who knew I would find a cave with these woods hidden inside.
Uncle Sixteen, this is great material! My father asked me to carry it to your house."
