Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

The topic returned to Zhang Ziming’s family.

Second uncle Zhang Zhongyi went home to put down his things, and then came back with Zhang Zhonghe, the brigade secretary.

As soon as they entered the door, they found brand-new clothes on Zhang Zhongren and his wife, and they immediately thought that this boy Zhang Ziming must have bought them to honor his parents.

The new clothes made Zhang Zhonghe feel itchy in his heart. He just wanted to sew a shirt out of the piece of "Chenliang" cloth that Zhang Ziming gave him as soon as possible.

At this time, several side dishes had been served, so Zhang Yeping started pouring the wine.

This is how the countryside was at this time, serving food and drinking at the same time.

Zhang Ziming first picked up his glass and thanked everyone, and then left all the rest of the scene to Zhang Zhonghe, the brigade secretary.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Zhonghe began to speak again, of course he also wanted to show off his abilities.

Just listen to Zhang Zhonghe say loudly:

"Ziming, there is also his father and his second uncle. They just saw my eldest nephew coming back from a long trip. They were very happy. There is another happy event that I haven't told you."

As he spoke, he took out a ticket from the pocket with a pen in it and handed it to Zhang Ziming.

And said with a smile:

"Ziming, look what this is?"

Zhang Ziming was overjoyed when he saw it was a bicycle ticket.

I secretly wondered in my heart, could it be because of Taosu and "Chenliang" Bu that Uncle Zhonghe gave me this ticket?

It shouldn't be possible, right?

Uncle Zhonghe is okay if you ask him to do something, but asking him to send you a ticket seems unrealistic.

Moreover, bicycle tickets, sewing tickets, watch tickets, etc., these things are in short supply. These tickets can also be resold. Can he be willing to give them to himself?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

After Zhang Ziming thanked him first, he pointed at the precious bicycle ticket and said doubtfully:

"Uncle Zhonghe, what's going on? You gave me such a valuable thing out of the blue. Should I accept it or not?"

"Brother Zhonghe, you can't do this."

Zhang Ziming's father was also a little stunned. Although his son was carrying something in his hand when he went out just now, he wouldn't be able to exchange for a ticket, right?

After everyone, including Zhang Xiaoyong, asked curiously, Zhang Zhonghe said leisurely:

"Ziming, I didn't give you this ticket. Secretary Guo of the commune gave it to me. I collected it for you on your behalf."

"Secretary Guo of the commune?" everyone asked in unison.

Zhang Zhonghe was almost satisfied when he saw this atmosphere, and then explained it to everyone in detail:

When he went to the commune for a meeting, he reported Ziming's book writing to the commune leaders. Secretary Guo of the commune took this matter very seriously. (The actual situation is that when Zhang Ziming took the money order to withdraw money at the post office, the news spread throughout the commune. Zhang Zhonghe just wanted to take the credit.)

After the meeting, Secretary Guo wanted to come to Zhang Ziming's home with Zhang Zhonghe. There was a celebrity in his jurisdiction, and it was appropriate for a leader to come and express condolences.

Just after hearing the news that Zhang Ziming had gone out and not returned yet, Secretary Guo took out a bicycle ticket.

and said:

"Old Zhang, this bicycle ticket is a reward from the commune to Zhang Ziming, a young writer. When he comes back, please hand it over on my behalf."

Zhang Zhonghe was extremely happy at that time. After all, he also showed his face, but he still said seriously:

"Secretary Guo, why don't you personally send it to Zhang Ziming when he comes back?"

"After all, this bicycle ticket is too precious. Is it appropriate for me to hand it over?"

Secretary Guo is a practical person who doesn't care about details or whether Zhang Ziming will be grateful for his reward.

So he patted Zhang Zhonghe on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, you can just hand it over for me."

"He can't tell when he will come back. If I keep this bicycle ticket, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be resold and rewarded to others."

"Just take it quickly. When Ziming comes back, you can give me a letter. I really want to meet this guy."

After Zhang Zhonghe finished speaking, he lit a Harvest cigarette handed over by Zhang Ziming.

I enjoyed watching everyone's expressions. After all, I was the only contact between the brigade and the commune, so I could say what I said.

Zhang Ziming also understood what Uncle Zhonghe meant, which was just to remind him of his kindness and ability.

Is it because of his report to the commune leaders that he got this bicycle ticket?

Hey, no matter how big a deal it is, Zhang Ziming feels that there is nothing wrong with these little things among grassroots cadres.

Isn’t that what power is like?

Especially in the 60s to 80s, if you say anything wrong, you may get into big trouble, so who dares not to believe what the brigade secretary says.

Therefore, Zhang Ziming picked up his glass of wine and thanked Zhang Zhonghe, saying a lot of good things;

Zhang Zhongren and Zhang Zhongyi also said a lot of thanks to Zhang Zhonghe for the sake of this bicycle ticket.

One of them was said to Zhang Ziming, and his father Zhang Zhongren said this:

"Ziming, your Uncle Zhonghe has always been helping you. Whatever happens in the future, I will have to think of your Uncle Zhonghe."

Zhang Ziming has a dark look on his face, can I stop thinking about him?

If I don't think about him, can I give him peach cakes and "Chenliang" cloth?

Maybe it was because I sent Tao Su and "Chen Liang" cloth that he took out the bicycle ticket;

If I don't give him this thing, who knows who will end up with this bicycle ticket.

Zhang Ziming was also secretly glad that this thing was delivered at the right time, right?

Of course Zhang Ziming would not take the credit for this bicycle ticket to Zhang Zhonghe, so after a while he said:

"Uncle Zhonghe, please take me to the commune on a convenient day. I will also thank Secretary Guo in person. Don't let Secretary Guo come to our place. Let's take the initiative to go there. What do I need to bring? , you said, I’m ready.”

Zhang Zhonghe didn't care whether Secretary Guo of the commune had time or not, he decided to go tomorrow morning.

The reason is simply that Zhang Zhonghe wanted to express himself.

At that time, I will definitely say to the leaders of the commune:

"Secretary Guo, Zhang Ziming just came back last night. I dragged him here early this morning. I also told him that he had to come over as soon as possible to thank Secretary Guo..."

Zhang Ziming sees through it without saying anything:

"Okay, Uncle Zhonghe, let's leave after breakfast tomorrow. It just so happens that the friend's bicycle I borrowed is still there, so I'll go by bicycle."

Zhang Ziming really wanted to get involved with Secretary Guo. After all, he wanted to do something big later, and he had to win the support of the commune leaders.

I originally thought of relying on Zhang Zhonghe, the brigade secretary, but now it seems that it is more appropriate to take action myself.

If we had Secretary Guo's support in setting up a factory, we would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Perhaps this is the will of God, and my original intention is for the sake of the whole village.

However, I originally thought that I would meet Lin Yuxin first in the morning, but I could only postpone the affair between my children and my children in the afternoon.

That's fine. I'll just buy something from the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow, and then go to my father-in-law's house for dinner at noon.
