There were several sacks of wheat straw in the back of the tractor.
Before Chen Xiaohong could come to her senses, Zhang Qiang stood under the tractor and patted the sack.
"Sit on it. I put straw in it."
Chen Xiaohong paused, glanced secretly at Zhang Qiang, and slowly sat on it.
Chen Dazhuang, who was in the driving seat, watched with a smile.
That's right, men should be gentler towards women.
Zhang Qiang urged, "Aunt, hold on tight, we are leaving."
Zhang Cuiyi smiled and said, "It's troublesome."
Chen Dazhuang jumped off the tractor with a cigarette in his mouth and started the tractor by cranking the handle.
He didn't intend to drive, so he jumped into the back cabin.
Chen Dazhuang lay on the sack at the back, his hands resting on his pillow, staring at the blue sky above his head with something in mind.
Well, he found two suitable candidates to be his brother-in-law in the village.
One is about to get married, and the other has someone in his heart.
Her sister didn't get any of them.
Well, he had to start looking for her again.
If a girl doesn't marry well in the second half of her life, she will have a miserable life.
No matter whether the other party is rich or poor, as long as he is responsible and capable of taking on the responsibility, my sister's life in the second half of her life will be less painful.
Zhang Qiang was in a rare good mood today. He felt that the journey to the county town was much shorter than before.
The scenery on both sides of the road was beautiful. Chen Xiaohong sat in the back, her hair messed up by the wind beside her ears. She looked at the yellow rapeseed and green wheat waves on both sides, and felt much more relaxed.
She looked at the mountains not far away and wished she had the chance to go out for a walk.
It’s a pity that she might not have any chance in this life.
After the tractor arrived at the county town, Zhang Qiang dropped them off at the entrance of the grocery store and told Chen Dazhuang, "If it's still early after you finish shopping, come find me at the entrance of the county party committee. I'll park the tractor at the entrance."
Chen Dazhuang said: "Okay."
"You carry all the things."
"knew."
Chen Dazhuang knew that he came here today just as a tool, to run errands for his good friend.
He had to perform well for him.
Zhang Qiang went to the meeting on time.
The content of this meeting was to lay telephone lines in several of their ditches.
All the towns close to the county town have telephones, but small villages like theirs don't have any.
In some remote areas, there is no electricity yet, and people still use kerosene stoves.
Their village is close to the county town, so they are relatively lucky.
When Zhang Qiang heard this, he was so happy.
Zhang Qiang also spoke at the meeting. To be honest, Li Weizhen admired Zhang Qiang.
This guy has a low level of education and only graduated from junior high school.
After the meeting, Li Wei left Zhang Qiang alone.
In the office, Zhang Qiang sat upright, looking a little uneasy and nervous.
Li Wei smiled and made him a cup of tea.
Li Wei smiled and said, "My squad leader said that you are a good guy, and his introduction was absolutely correct."
Zhang Qiang looked puzzled, and Li Wei saw his confusion and said, "My squad leader is Chen Jianguo from your village.
When he first came to me, he secretly took a liking to you and recommended you to me."
Only then did Zhang Qiang react.
Could it be that he was elected as the village party secretary because of Brother Jianguo?
Li Wei was afraid that he might misunderstand something, so he said, "Don't think too much. Recommendation is recommendation, selection is selection, and it's also your own fault that many people voted for you.
If you don't do it yourself, it won't be of any use even if I, the squad leader, recommend you."
Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Li Ren."
Li Wei asked, "Have you ever thought about going to school again?"
Zhang Qiang was a little shocked. He really had never thought about going to school.
He is already in his twenties. It might not be appropriate for him to go to the Party School, right?
“I really haven’t thought about going to school.
After the college entrance examination was opened last year, I thought about signing up, but then I thought carefully that with my skills, I probably wouldn't be able to pass it.
Later I thought about it and realized that with so many people applying, I would just be there to make up the numbers, so I didn’t go.”
When the college entrance examination was just opened last year, the probability of being admitted was indeed not high.
Li Wei said: "In fact, the Party School is also OK. You can read books and try to learn on your own first.
You have graduated from junior high school. If you want to develop in this area in the future, you still have to continue studying.
Once you are admitted to the Party School, or other schools, your status will be different immediately, and you will have more opportunities for development in the future.”
Zhang Qiang was surprised. Li Wei had left him alone just to say this.
"Thank you, Li Yiren. I will consider it after I go there."
"Go ahead and think about it carefully. You have to work hard to realize your self-worth throughout your life."
Zhang Qiang actually didn't quite understand the latter part of this sentence. According to his understanding, Li Wei meant that throughout one's life, one must have demands and goals for oneself.
That should be the case.
Zhang Qiang doesn't have so many pursuits, he loves his hometown.
In the eyes of others, he was poor and worthless.
But in his eyes, he likes the blooming flowers in spring, the harvest in summer and autumn, and the vast white winter in his hometown.
He was not good at studying. Every time he looked at those math problems, his mind was filled with them and he became irritable and anxious.
Instead of letting him read, he would rather carry a hoe and go to the fields.
Zhang Qiang thought about it and gave up.
However, he had read all the books about planting very clearly.
He walked out of the county party committee with brisk steps. The tractor was still parked at the door and there was nothing on it. He turned and walked towards the cargo building.
Zhang Cuiying bought more than ten kilograms of cotton wool, used cloth coupons to buy cloth, and took a tractor to the city. She bought melon seeds, candies, and everything she could think of.
There are still more than twenty days before the second brother’s wedding, and they have bought everything they can think of.
When Zhang Qiang arrived, he saw Chen Dazhuang carrying a lot of bags and Chen Xiaohong also carrying some things. He stood beside Chen Xiaohong and said, "Let me do it."
Before Chen Xiaohong could say anything, her hand felt lighter and the item was taken away by Zhang Qiang.
Chen Dazhuang just thought he was blind and saw nothing.
Chen Dazhuang asked: "What is the content of today's meeting?"
"In a few days, we will install a telephone in our village. That's it."
"What? You want to install a phone?
Oh my god, I have been waiting for years for our village to have a telephone. "
Zhang Qiang smiled, and Chen Xiaohong was also happy to hear that.
If a telephone was installed in the village, we wouldn't have to go to town to make a phone call.
Zhang Cuiying looked over and saw that the two children were carrying a lot of things in their hands.
She said, "Qiangzi, wait for me. I will buy two more kettles, ceramic basins, mirrors and other things."
Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, buy it. I'm not in a hurry."
"Thank you for your hard work. After you finish shopping, I will treat you to some rice noodles."
Chen Dazhuang was greedy when he heard it, Zhang Qiang said: "Aunt, it's not right for you to treat us, we are the younger generation, so I'll treat you."
Chen Dazhuang doesn't care anyway. He is here just to be a tool today, so let Zhang Qiang have the chance to treat everyone.
