Coming out of Factory Director Yang's office, Zhou Jimin first asked Fu Weipeng to wait for him at the factory gate, while he ran to Anningzhuang Siheyuan.
Not long after, a sleigh came to the door of the steel rolling mill.
Everyone in the security department ran out of the warm hut to take a look at the strange thing.
In this day and age, it’s really unusual for someone to be able to keep five big dogs.
Even the old and the young who have money at home don’t dare to waste food like this.
Fu Weipeng had long heard that Zhou Jimin had such a sleigh, and now that he saw it with his own eyes, his expression was very exciting.
On heavy snowy days, sleds are more useful than cars.
When we arrived at the Liu Family Brigade, the captain Liu Dachun greeted us.
Zhou Jimin is the only one who can come to his house on a sled at this time.
After some pleasantries, Zhou Jimin went straight to the point and went to visit the two injured villagers.
The northwest corner of the village entrance, near the mountain.
A family lives in a thatched house. In the bitingly cold house, the family is filled with sorrow.
I thought I would earn some centimeters from following the team leader, make some extra money, and supplement my family income, but I didn’t expect that something unexpected happened.
The two most important laborers in the family have broken legs.
Zhou Jimin frowned and looked at the three thatched houses, his heart twitching violently.
These days, life in rural areas is the most difficult.
Thatched houses are made of mud bricks and have thatched roofs. Zhou Jimin still remembers that in the 1990s, dry toilets or cowsheds in the countryside were like this kind of houses.
But that's the south, this is the north!
It takes a lot of courage to live in such a place and in such a house in a world of ice and snow at seven to eight degrees below zero.
When they walked in, Liu Dachun and Fu Weipeng didn't even need introductions. The family stood up excitedly to welcome the guests.
There are a total of eight people in this family, including an elderly lady, the head of the family Liu Dagen, and six children.
The injured were Liu Dagen and his second son Liu Liu Ergou. The youngest child was about the size of a small goldfish.
But that child was similar to the Meng Zitong that Zhou Jimin saw for the first time, very skinny.
Such a scene made Zhou Jimin feel even heavier.
If Liu Dagen and Liu Ergou were not injured, this home would look good.
There are at least two main people who earn centimeters, and three assistants who are over ten years old and earn centimeters. The remaining two little ones can also help to some extent.
But now, the main force has become a burden, can the family not worry?
"Hey, didn't I just say that your family has seven children in total? Is there another one?"
Zhou Jimin’s question was met with silence for a while.
Liu Ergou replied that she was his eldest sister. She was killed in a military disaster the year she was born.
It was a very simple and concise sentence, an understatement, but it made Zhou Jimin even more confused about what to say.
After visiting Liu Dagen's family, Zhou Jimin returned to Liu Dachun's house and had a chat with the latter.
The latter is firmly determined that the reservoir must be built and cannot be given up halfway.
Liu Dachun doesn't know what will happen next year, but he never wants to be like this year again.
"The newspaper said that income has been generated across the country again. How many kilograms are produced per mu? Hey, I really don't believe this!"
After a brief mention, Liu Dachun continued:
"After paying the public rations this fall, there is not much left in the brigade. If Jimin hadn't helped us digest the big white pears before, we wouldn't have known how we would have spent this winter."
"Don't say that, when it comes to the big white pear, I still made the profit."
Seeing the other party mention this matter, Zhou Jimin rarely smiled.
Since New Year's Day, he has started selling big white pears.
So far, he has sold less than half of it. According to the price of five cents per pound at that time, he sold it for two cents, which is a profit of fifteen cents.
Although this wave is far inferior to the time when Stone Youth resold lighters at ten times the price, it is better because of the large quantity and the popularity of everyone.
Anyway, in recent times, wealthy people have donated generously, allowing him to make a lot of money.
"Captain, what are you going to do about this matter with Liu Dagen's family?" Zhou Jimin changed the subject, which immediately made Liu Dachun worried.
The latter didn't know what to do, so he asked Fu Weipeng to invite Zhou Jimin over.
The ball was kicked back again. Zhou Jimin pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's do this. After the reservoir is built, we can build a few stone houses next to the reservoir. Then we can raise some fish, chickens, ducks, etc. on the reservoir. Let Liu Dagen's family help raise these."
"As for how to calculate the centimeters of Liu Dagen's family at the end of the year, I don't care about that, but if you want to sell chickens and ducks, you can consider selling them to me."
"In addition, I will go to Liu Dagen's house later and give them something."
"Every wealthy family in the village can also donate some."
When Liu Dachun heard this, he immediately responded excitedly.
It seems difficult to handle at this time, but for Liu Dachun, this is not a problem.
Zhou Jimin didn't care how Liu Dachun dealt with his superiors and promised the Liu family's brigade to build the reservoir. He just wanted to see the results.
Many things are never achieved overnight, but he firmly believes that as long as he is willing to pay, it will bear fruit.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Jimin went to Liu Dagen's home again.
He generously provided space spring water to Liu Dagen and his son, as well as two hundred kilograms of corn flour, sweet potato noodles, and a full fifty kilograms of pork.
The reason why he didn't give him rice or white flour was because he was worried that his family would have to replace these fine grains with coarse grains, so he just did it in one step.
Anyway, these things are really worthless to him.
Especially corn and sweet potatoes, these two things are the main feed for poultry.
Seeing Liu Dagen's family thanking him so much, Zhou Jimin felt quite uncomfortable.
No one would be willing to kneel down unless forced to do so.
Especially during the years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, self-confidence was at its peak.
After all, in the past few years, on the peninsula, we beat the shit out of Ugly Country.
When he came out of Liu Dagen's house, he was blocked by Qin Jianguo and others.
"What are you doing?"
"Jimin, take a step to speak."
A few minutes later, Liu Dachun's family, Qin Jianguo and others sat down, a total of more than a dozen people, which is quite a lot.
They are all captains or leaders of several nearby brigades, and they are all similar to Liu Dachun anyway.
The reason why Zhou Jimin happened to be blocked was all because of these brigades. Basically, there is one among you and one among me, so they knew immediately that Zhou Jimin had come to the Liu family's brigade.
Even everyone knows about the construction of the reservoir by the Liu Family Brigade.
Qin Jianguo and the others came here just to build the reservoir.
The nearby water system is developed, but there are also many dry fields.
It's usually fine, but if there's a severe drought, it'll be really miserable.
Why was Liu Dachun so determined to build the reservoir?
Qin Jianguo and the others wanted to know the specific reasons, and did not want to fall too far behind the Liu family's team.
