Chapter 230 Our whole family will go on a trip in a few days...
Li Hongjun shouted loudly, and Zhou Yong looked up at him.
"Are you afraid that others won't know that my family bought a TV?"
Li Hongjun chuckled and strode up to Zhou Yong.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Kerou looked up at Li Hongjun, and the little girl smiled and said, "Uncle, my dad is making a TV pole."
Li Hongjun smiled and picked up Zhou Kerou, kissing her little face: "I didn't expect your dad could make a TV pole."
Zhou Yong did not stop his movements and said, "You have never eaten pork, but you have seen a pig walk?"
Li Hongjun smiled. Seeing Zhou Yong finished making a TV pole in no time, he frowned slightly and asked, "Is this thing so easy to make?"
Making a TV pole is not complicated. All you need is an aluminum curtain or an aluminum basin. One end of the wire is connected to the TV, and the other end is connected to the aluminum receiver...
Zhou Yong erected the TV pole, Li Hongjun put Zhou Kerou down, and he lent a hand. The two erected the TV pole in front of Dongda Mountain, fixed it, and then passed the connecting wire through the window into the house...
After finishing these things, the two of them went into the house. Li Hongjun looked at the newly bought TV set at Zhou Yong's house and said, "Aunt San, your TV set is a bit bigger than the one I bought..."
Li Hongjun's family moved in on the 10th, and his family bought the TV on the 6th.
However, their family was not the first to buy a TV. Some other families bought a TV in June and July.
Zhang Guifang replied: "It doesn't matter what the size is, as long as it looks good!"
Li Hongjun smiled and said, "Aunt San, that's not the case. If the screen size is large, the picture will be large, and if the screen size is small, the picture will be small..."
When he bought a TV, there was only one size available, so he bought it. Li Hongjun didn't think much about it at the time, but he regretted it after moving it in and installing it.
Zhou Yong glanced at his brother-in-law and said, "Brother, if it doesn't work, buy a large-screen TV..."
Li Hongjun scratched his head: "You really think highly of me."
Zhou Yong smiled: "Brother, if you need money, just tell me and I can lend it to you."
Zhou Yong didn't know exactly how much money Li Hongjun's family had, but he guessed that his family had at least two or three thousand in savings.
Although Li Hongjun is usually quiet, he is a man who makes a fortune quietly.
"Thanks, I don't need to borrow money."
Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun chatted occasionally, and neighbors from both sides and the front and back yards came together.
Everyone heard that the Li family bought a TV, so they came to take a look.
Among those who came, three reserved TV sets, and several others also wanted to buy TV sets. The problem was that they had money but no TV purchasing tickets.
"Captain Zhou, after the autumn harvest, can you give me a ticket to purchase a TV?"
"Second Aunt, I'm afraid it won't work this year, maybe next year!"
Many families applied for television purchase tickets, but few were able to get them.
Therefore, most families went to the black market to buy TV purchase tickets, or went to other villages to find relatives and friends to exchange purchase tickets.
Fortunately, Huaixi Village is the only village in the area that has electricity. As long as you spend a little more money, it is not difficult to get a ticket to purchase a television.
However, some families don't want to spend that little extra money, so they set their sights on the big team.
This is the case with the family Zhou Yong calls Second Aunt. They could have bought a ticket to purchase a TV by spending ten or twenty yuan more, but they chose not to do so.
"Do we have to wait until next year? Can't we have one of the TV purchase tickets issued this year?"
"Second Aunt, there are still many families who applied for TV purchase tickets last year who have not yet received one. Besides, as you know, there are only a few TV purchase tickets every year..."
Before the village had electricity, if a family was given a ticket to purchase a television, no one would keep it. Most families would take it to the black market to exchange for some living bills and then sell it for money.
"What should we do then?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you can only wait patiently. I have no other choice."
The other party didn't say anything else. Zhou Yong found an excuse to leave the house, and Li Hongjun followed him out.
"A drink tonight?"
Zhou Yong checked the time: "Maybe some other time. I need to go to the brick factory."
"The brick factory is almost closing, what are you doing at this time?"
Zhou Yong went to pick up Li Caiyun from get off work and took care of some work matters at the same time.
"Then you go ahead. I'm going to the Public Security Brigade."
Zhou Yong said something to Zhang Guifang and left home on his bicycle.
When he arrived at the brick factory, he only had half an hour left before get off work.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up from get off work and take care of some of the busy work..."
Zhou Yong is very busy every day and is indispensable everywhere, so he has not been to the brick factory much recently.
Fortunately, with Li Caiyun in charge at the brick factory, no trouble occurred. However, some official business required his personal signature and seal.
Li Caiyun thoughtfully took out the documents that needed his signature and seal. Zhou Yong glanced at them, picked up the pen and signed...
"The Public Security Bureau applied for two million bricks?"
Li Caiyun nodded: "The Public Security Bureau wants to build a residential building for its staff, so they applied for two million bricks from our brick factory..."
There are nearly ten brick factories in Qingmu County. Business used to be slow, but in the past two years, the demand for bricks has been increasing due to the construction of residential buildings for staff in various units.
"How much bricks are left for the county hospital?"
Li Caiyun took the daily brick production record book and said, "We still need 200,000 bricks."
Zhou Yong raised his hand and pinched his brows: "The brick factory will be closed in mid-October. If it doesn't work, we can just recruit some people..."
The brick factory applied for by the Public Security Bureau can start production next year, and the county hospital is waiting for bricks to build a staff dormitory!
Li Caiyun frowned: "Recruiting requires an application, and it will take until next month for the approval..."
Zhou Yong put down his hand that was pinching his brows: "I'll take care of the application, you just take care of the recruitment..."
The Huaixi Village Brick Factory is a state-owned unit, so hiring requires application to the higher authorities.
“How many people?”
Zhou Yong thought for a while and said, "Thirty people!"
Li Caiyun looked at him and said, "Why not just recruit fifty people, so we don't have to recruit again next year..."
The wages of the brick factory workers are paid by the state. Out of consideration for the villagers, Li Caiyun suggested recruiting fifty workers.
Zhou Yong looked at his young wife and could see through her little thoughts.
He raised his hand and pinched Li Caiyun's face: "Then do as you say."
Li Caiyun slapped his hand away, and said coquettishly: "Just talk, don't touch me, this is at work, not at home..."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows, took Li Caiyun's hand and pulled her into his arms.
Li Caiyun panicked and struggled to get up. How could Zhou Yong make her happy?
"Let me go."
Zhou Yong held her tightly in his arms. Li Caiyun's face turned slightly red because of the argument.
"What if I don't let you go?"
Li Caiyun glared at her man and said, "Hurry up, let me go."
Zhou Yong chuckled, his eyes falling on the eyebrows of his young wife.
"Wife, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Li Caiyun curled her lips: "Is your mouth smeared with honey?"
Zhou Yong helped her sit up: "Did you apply honey on me?"
Li Caiyun was about to get up from his lap when Zhou Yong fixed her hair and said, "In a few days, our whole family will go on a trip..."
