Along the way, the two chatted casually.
After a while, they returned home.
Chen Qiaoyi is feeding her baby.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying walked into the house. Chen Qiaoyi looked up and saw them, and said with a smile, "You're back."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
When little Yueyue saw Zhou Ziwen, she babbled and didn't drink milk quietly.
Zhou Ziwen walked over, gently touched Yueyue's head, and said with a smile: "Be good, Yueyue, drink your milk well."
Chen Qiaoyi rolled her eyes at Zhou Ziwen and said angrily, "It's all your fault. Little Yueyue becomes disobedient when she sees you."
Zhou Ziwen chuckled and stopped talking.
Chen Shiying walked into the kitchen and started preparing lunch.
Zhou Ziwen also followed him into the kitchen to help.
Chen Shiying is a good cook and quick in her work. With the help of Zhou Ziwen, the meal was ready in no time.
The aroma of food filled the whole house.
After feeding, Chen Qiaoyi carried Yueyue into the kitchen and said with a smile, "It smells so good, sister, brother Ziwen, thank you for your hard work."
The family sat around the dining table and started eating.
Zhou Ziwen chatted with the two sisters for a while about repairing the machine.
The two sisters never doubted his abilities.
In their hearts, Zhou Ziwen is the best person in the world.
There is nothing he can't do as long as he wants to do it.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen lay on the kang and played with Yueyue for a while.
After Yueyue was tired from playing and fell asleep, Zhou Ziwen took out the books he bought in the county town today and started reading them.
After looking for a while, Zhou Ziwen felt his eyes a little sore. After all, he had been busy for half a day in the morning and had traveled back and forth to the county town, so he was a little tired.
He rubbed his eyes gently, put the book aside, and closed his eyes, ready to take a nap.
The afternoon sun shines through the window onto the kang, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
When I woke up, Chen Shiying had already gone to work, while Chen Qiaoyi and Xiao Yueyue were still sleeping.
Zhou Ziwen got up quietly, packed up a little, and then rode his bicycle to the county town.
Along the way, the breeze blew on my face and the sun shone on my body, making me feel warm.
The trees on both sides of the road are lush and green, and the leaves sway gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
The crops in the fields are growing well, and they are all green and lush, as if a green carpet has been laid on the earth.
The mountains in the distance are rolling and appear dark green under the sunlight.
Zhou Ziwen rode a bicycle and enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery.
Riding a bicycle, Zhou Ziwen quickly arrived at the county town.
He rode straight towards the supply and marketing cooperative, parked his bicycle, and walked into the cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative is bustling with people, and there is a wide variety of goods on display.
Zhou Ziwen carefully searched the tool area for what he needed.
After some selection, he successfully bought a cutting machine and a grinder, but unfortunately, he did not buy a welding machine.
In this day and age, electric welding machines are still relatively rare.
Apart from the electric welder, he also couldn't buy the parts to repair the thresher.
"It seems that I can only go to the scrap collection station to have a look."
After thinking about it, Zhou Ziwen decided to go to the scrap collection station to shop.
The scrap collection station has everything. Although it is scrap, for him, it is a good place to shop.
If he saves up a little, he should be able to get what he needs.
Thinking of this, he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, rode his bicycle, and headed towards the scrap collection station.
The scrap collection station is located on the edge of the county town, and the surrounding environment is somewhat messy.
When Zhou Ziwen walked into the scrap collection station, a pungent smell hit him in the face.
"Comrade, what have you got to sell?"
As soon as I entered the door, a buyer came to greet me.
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the buyer, saying with a smile, "Comrade, thank you for your hard work. I'm not here to sell anything. I just want to see if I can find something I need here."
The buyer took the cigarette, looked at Zhou Ziwen, smiled, and said, "Oh? What do you need?"
Zhou Ziwen said, "I'm repairing a machine and need some parts, such as a welding machine and some parts for repairing threshers, like pistons and piston rings. I couldn't find any at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I thought I'd try my luck here."
After hearing what Zhou Ziwen said, the buyer looked embarrassed.
"Comrade, these things you want are a bit troublesome."
"As you know, everything here needs to be sorted and processed, such as scrap metal, waste paper, waste plastic, and waste glass. After sorting and processing, these items can be reused or sold to production departments for reproduction. In principle, they cannot be sold."
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly said, "Comrade, I know this is against regulations, but I really need these things. Our village's production depends on this machine being repaired. If it can't be repaired, this year's harvest may be affected. Can you please make an exception? I will pay the price you mentioned."
The buyer looked at Zhou Ziwen's sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Okay, since you need it so much, then go ahead and look for it. But you have to be careful to only take what you need and don't rummage through other things."
Although it is not allowed to sell in principle, the purchasing station has encountered many cases like Zhou Ziwen.
Making things convenient for others is making things convenient for yourself.
After all, when Zhou Ziwen spends money on things, it is equivalent to making extra money for them.
It was because he knew this that Zhou Ziwen came to the scrap collection station.
"Thank you, comrade. Don't worry, I won't rummage through anything." Zhou Ziwen nodded happily.
The buyer took a puff of his cigarette, pointed to a pile of scrap nearby and said, "You can start looking over there."
After Zhou Ziwen thanked him again, he walked in the direction the buyer pointed and began to search carefully in the pile of waste.
Zhou Ziwen searched carefully in the scrap pile. Although the smell in the scrap pile was not very good, he tried his best to find the parts he needed.
After some effort, Zhou Ziwen finally found a bunch of things he thought might be useful.
Some of them are metal parts that are shaped like pistons and piston rings, but they are not original accessories and need to be taken back for modification before they can be used.
There were also some materials that could be used to make welding machine-related parts, but the main part of the welding machine was not found.
Zhou Ziwen was quite satisfied with this.
After all, electric welding machines are not common items, so it is good enough to find a few related parts.
Anyway, there is more than one scrap collection station in the county, so I can just go to other scrap collection stations later.
He estimated that he would become a regular visitor to the scrap collection station in the next period of time.
After all, there were a lot of machines to repair at home, especially the tractor. It had a complicated structure, and although he hadn't taken it apart yet, he knew that the tractor was the most difficult to repair. (End of this chapter)
