Zheng Guangming's family.
Zheng Guangming is studying.
His ears twitched and he shouted happily: "Brother Bingkun, brother Bingkun is here!"
Zhou Bingkun brought the meat to Zheng Guangming's house first.
"So much meat!" Zheng Guangming said in surprise.
"That's right, Bingkun, why is there so much meat?" Zheng Xiu also came out.
"I just bought it, no tickets required, no limit. Guangming, what are you still doing? Moving meat, this piece belongs to your family." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Ah? Brother Bingkun, is this too much?" Zheng Guangming did not dare to move.
"That's right, Bingkun, we can't eat so much meat." Zheng Xiu didn't dare to move the meat.
"If you can't eat it, just freeze it and eat it slowly. It snowed heavily just now, so it won't hurt if it's frozen outside." Seeing that Zheng Guangming and the others were not doing anything, Zhou Bingkun picked up a large piece of meat and gave it to Zheng Guangming.
Zheng Guangming hurriedly caught it.
"Mom, Guangming, our family's conditions have improved and we have no shortage of meat. You're welcome." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Okay then." Zheng Xiu knew that being polite was useless, and the Zhou Bingkun family did not lack this kind of meat.
"Guangming, how are you studying?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"Brother Bingkun, I'm not very good at geometry, and I'm not very good at doing exercises." Zheng Guangming said sheepishly.
"Which ones don't know? Come on, I'll teach you." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Bingkun, please go inside, it's cold outside." Zheng Xiu said hurriedly. Zhou Bingkun is usually busy, just passing by, dropping his things outside and leaving. If he has to give a lecture today, he can't freeze outside.
Several people entered the house.
"This is a question about finding the perimeter of a triangle. Here's a little trick..." Zhou Bingkun started the teaching mode.
after an hour.
"Brother Bingkun, you are so awesome, you understand everything better than my sister." Zheng Guangming said happily. He and Zheng Xiu also often visited Zheng Juan. After going there, Zheng Juan taught him mathematics. But Zheng Juan was not as good at learning as Zhou Bingkun, so her teaching was not very thorough.
"That's necessary. I'm Teacher Juan'er, I must be better than her, haha. It's getting late, I'm going home first." Zhou Bingkun said goodbye and left.
Not long after.
Back home.
"So much meat? Bingkun, cut it all for me." Li Suhua said.
Among the six people, Zhou Bingkun bought the most meat. Even if he gave a large piece to Zheng Guangming's family, there would still be a lot left over.
"Mom, did you go shopping too?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"Yes, look at it, here are melon seeds, peanuts, sesame paste, sesame oil, shrimp paste, two taels of tea leaves, and a piece of sandalwood soap. These are usually not available to buy, but I can buy them this year. Things are getting better and better. Yes, haha." Li Suhua said happily.
"This pollack looks good, doesn't it?" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Then let's eat fish tonight." Li Suhua said with a smile.
"Tomorrow, I will go out and buy some good things from the south." Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.
"Don't spend money randomly, give all the money you earn outside to Zheng Juan." Li Suhua said hurriedly.
...
Over there in the mountain city.
Zhou Zhigang was packing his things and getting ready to go home. He originally took leave every two years, but due to work needs, he changed it to every three years.
He hasn't seen his family in three years. He went home on vacation this year and was anxious to see his eldest grandson Zhou Jiaping.
At this time.
Zhou Zhigang's apprentice Guo Cheng ran over.
"Master, there is a leak in the cave and the cement cannot seal it. Captain Zhang asked you to go over and have a look." Guo Cheng shouted. He is a young man in his twenties, of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and not ugly in appearance. He is from Hebei and is an educated worker. He often helped write Zhou Zhigang's letters.
Zhou Zhigang's team is a bricklaying class, and he is the class leader. Usually, engineers blow up the cave first, and then workers from other teams clean it up. Then Zhou Zhigang's masonry team builds it flat with stones and bricks, and seals the roof with cement.
"Leaking? Let's go and have a look." Zhou Zhigang said hurriedly. Water leakage is not a good thing and can easily cause landslides.
The entrance of the cave.
Captain Zhang and a group of workers are waiting anxiously.
Zhou Zhigang and Guo Cheng came out. They just went in to check.
"Master Zhou, how are you?" Captain Zhang asked hurriedly.
"The mountain is hollowed out. It can't be groundwater. I guess it must be the aquifer above." Zhou Zhigang frowned.
"Water accumulation layer? Master Zhou, what should we do?" Captain Zhang asked. Although he is the captain, he has little experience and Zhou Zhigang still needs to make decisions when encountering some difficult problems.
"It's easy, just take a few thick electric drills and drill through all the leaking places and let all the water out." Zhou Zhigang said with a big wave of his hand.
"Master Zhou, we don't know how much water is up there. What if the cave collapses?" Captain Zhang asked worriedly.
"If it collapses, fix it. You can't leave the problem until later, right? If something happens in the future, there will be no way to remedy it." Zhou Zhigang said.
"Okay, let's do it like this. Come on, get on the electric drill and let out all the water." Captain Zhang shouted.
Not long after.
As more water leaked out, there was a "boom" and the cave really collapsed.
Fortunately, when the workers were releasing water, they stayed far away and no one was hit. Moreover, the landslide was not big, only a small part of the top of the mountain.
At this time, the leader came.
"How's it going? Is anyone injured?" the leader asked hurriedly. His first concern was the condition of the workers.
"It's okay, we are all okay." Zhou Zhigang and others said hurriedly. They looked uneasy, afraid of being held accountable. After all, some of the top of the mountain collapsed and needed to be rebuilt, which delayed the construction schedule a bit.
"As long as you're not injured, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I can't let you go home injured." The leader worried.
"In fact, if there is no water leakage, the top of the mountain can be sealed with dry cement." A quality inspector said. He is a young man.
"Ma Ma Tiger? We are building in this place. It is the guarantee provided by the people's holidays of the people's holidays, special foods, special supplies.
Look at the surrounding villagers, what they eat and what they use. Comrades, we must be worthy of the country and the people. We must not be careless, otherwise we will offend our conscience.
...
You young people should learn from old comrades like Zhou Zhigang.
Next, I announce that Zhou Zhigang will receive a commendation from the class secretary. "The leader did not hold people accountable, but instead rewarded Zhou Zhigang's team.
At this time, Zhou Zhigang had gone far.
He was in a hurry to go home and did not listen to the leader's call to say goodbye.
"Guo Cheng, where is your master?" Captain Zhang asked hurriedly. After the leader finished speaking, it was Zhou Zhigang's turn to express his position, but Zhou Zhigang disappeared.
"Leader, Master Zhou is on vacation this year. When he was packing his things to go home, Captain Zhang asked me to call Master Zhou. He is going to catch the car now," Guo Cheng said.
"It's like this, leader. In this case, we can only call Master Zhou. He has rich experience and knows what to do." Captain Zhang explained.
"Master Zhou is a good comrade. Everyone should learn from him." Looking at Zhou Zhigang's retreating figure, the leader sighed.
...
Zhou Zhigang left with a bamboo basket on his back.
There were five kilograms of bacon in the bamboo basket, which he and the villagers bought. This is actually against the rules. If you are reported, you will be punished. At that time, it was easy to be caught with a sore foot.
There was also twenty kilograms of white noodles in the bamboo basket, which he bought from the canteen with his saved meal tickets. There was no problem with the origin and it was not specially approved by the leader. His twenty kilograms of flour are for his daughter Zhou Rong. He hopes that when his daughter has stomach problems, she can make two meals of pimple soup.
The reason why Zhou Rong had a bad stomach was that around the 1960s, her family was short of food. Zhou Rong was very sensible. She deliberately ate less and left the food to her parents, elder brother, and younger brother. She was so hungry that she drank ice water, and then suffered from stomach problems.
Zhou Rong was actually quite good when she was a child, but when she grew up, she became obsessed with love and love, blinding her eyes to the mountains, thinking that love was the only pursuit.
Zhou Zhigang's bamboo basket also contained soap and rubber shoes. Both of these things are issued. One piece of soap every three months and one pair of rubber shoes every year. Zhou Zhigang saved a few bars of soap and a few pairs of rubber shoes over the past three years and wanted to take them home for his family's use.
But what he didn't know was that there was no shortage of this at home. Zhou Bingkun's family's living conditions are very good. There is no shortage of white flour, rubber shoes, etc., there is no shortage of anything.
Zhou Zhigang's frugal things are not rare at home.
