Chapter 97 Making School Uniforms Zhou Yimin thought of a word - school uniform. When I got back, I simply suggested making two sets of school uniforms for those children. It's not good to do it for free, so I'd better charge one or two yuan as a token of my appreciation. Zhou Yimin believed that there would be no parents who would not like it, right? Even in rural areas, where everyone is not rich, no one would miss the opportunity to buy one or two new sets of clothes for one or two dollars. Zhou Yimin went to the next yard to find Zhou Dazhong. "Dazhong, can you ride a tricycle now?" Zhou Yimin asked. He knew that the boy had started to learn to ride a tricycle after get off work yesterday. The tricycle that the factory had previously allocated to Zhou Yimin was given to Zhou Dazhong by Zhou Yimin. "Yes, this is not difficult." Indeed, riding a tricycle is much easier than riding a bicycle. After all, it won’t fall over, and you don’t need to learn how to balance the bike. Basically, you can ride it with the coordination of your hands and feet. "Okay! Come back to Zhoujiazhuang with me later, and you can use the tricycle to pull those old books back." Zhou Yimin began to order people to work.
Isn't the purpose of training Zhou Dazhong to make things easier for yourself? Zhou Yimin was very rude when it came to employing people. Zhou Dazhong was also very happy, feeling that he could finally help out. He felt embarrassed when his uncle Sixteenth stopped asking him to do things. "Okay, I'll be there in a minute." Zhou Yimin asked again: "By the way, didn't you go to the Red Star Commune to purchase goods yesterday? How was it?" Zhou Dazhong looked a little embarrassed, feeling a little sorry for Zhou Yimin's cultivation. "We didn't purchase any, and the Red Star Commune has no surplus food. Uncle Sixteen, I'll go somewhere farther away to take a look tomorrow." Finally, he promised. Zhou Yimin smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, take your time. Be careful when you go out next time, and don't go to places that are too remote." He was not in a hurry to give Zhou Dazhong supplies, so he tried to persuade him first. Seeing that Uncle Sixteen not only did not blame him but comforted him instead, Zhou Dazhong felt relieved and felt even more grateful. Two hours later, he came to Yard 56 to find Zhou Yimin. Zhou Yimin invited him to eat watermelon. 100 big watermelons, plenty! "After eating, go to Dapeng and move the books and take them back." Zhou Yimin ordered. "it is good!" Before he finished eating, Zhou Dazhong was busy moving a pile of old books, study materials, etc. onto the tricycle, which weighed several hundred kilograms. At this time, Zhou Yimin came out with two watermelons, put them in the middle of the truck bed, put books underneath, and surrounded them with books. "Let's take it back to school together. You go first, I'll be back later." Zhou Yimin said. "it is good!" Zhou Dazhong started to rush towards Zhoujiazhuang. In fact, even if Uncle Sixteen hadn't asked him to do so, he would have been willing to make this trip. These old books were for the village primary school, and his younger brother was still in the third grade at the school!
Another hour passed before Zhou Yimin set off on his bicycle. It would be nice, he thought, to have a motorcycle or something. Riding a bicycle is also quite tiring. When they were almost back in Zhoujiazhuang, Zhou Yimin put two big watermelons in the huge shopping basket, and piled four rolls of blue cloth on top. Blue was the mainstream color at the time. At this time, Zhou Dazhong had returned to the school gate and stopped on the small playground. Zhou Zhigao and his daughter quickly asked the students to read, and they walked out of the classroom and walked towards Zhou Dazhong. "Uncle Sixteen asked me to pull it back." Zhou Dazhong said as he moved it down. "So many?" Zhou Zhigao and his daughter were dumbfounded. They found that in addition to textbooks, there were also some learning materials that their school needed, and they were overjoyed. Zhou Zhigao sighed in his heart, Sixteenth Brother is still the most reliable! "By the way, these two watermelons are also for the school. Uncle Sixteen has instructed us to do so." Zhou Dazhong reminded. In fact, Zhou Zhigao and his daughter had seen the big watermelon a long time ago, but they never thought it was for the school. Asking Zhou Yimin to help find some old books was already a bother for him. How dare I ask for anything else? "Forget about the school! You can move back to his grandfather's house later." Zhou Zhigao shook his head. Students in schools nowadays are doing very well, they have books to read, food to eat, and they won’t go hungry. In the past, parents didn’t let girls go to school, but now as long as they are of the right age, they are sent here. The purpose is self-evident. If there weren't an age limit, I'm afraid they would bring all the newborns over. "Uncle Sixteen said it was given to the school. I dare not move away. If you want to tell Uncle Sixteen, go and talk to him. Anyway, I am just a deliveryman. I will deliver wherever Uncle Sixteen tells me to deliver. Besides, Uncle Sixteen's watermelon is still available." Zhou Dazhong said. Before coming back, he saw several big watermelons lying on the ground at his uncle's house! After hearing this, Zhou Zhigao said nothing more and moved all the old books in together with Zhou Dazhong. "Dazhong, you've worked hard. Sit down for a while and eat a piece of watermelon." Zhou Zhigao prepared to cut the watermelon. Zhou Dazhong shook his head: "I ate a lot at Uncle Sixteen's place, so I won't eat anymore. Nothing else, I'll go back to see my mother first." After saying that, he turned around and left. There were quite a few children in the school, and when they shared two watermelons, he didn't feel comfortable leaving a bite for himself, so he snatched the food from the other children. "Uncle Sixteen really cares about the village school." Xiaolan said with emotion. She felt a little disappointed without her old clothes. Zhou Zhigao nodded: "Yes! He is thoughtful." It is precisely because the school has Zhou Yimin as its backer that he can teach with peace of mind without having to worry about those messy things. Just as the father and daughter had finished cutting the watermelon and before distributing it to the students in the classroom, Zhou Yimin came back on his bicycle. The father and daughter came out to greet them again, smiling and thanking them repeatedly. "Brother Zhigao, why are you being so polite? There is something I need you to inform the parents about." "What's the matter?" Zhou Zhigao asked.
"I have a friend who works in a textile factory and got four rolls of cloth. I thought, let's make two sets of clothes for each child in the school as school uniforms. Then, they would collect one or two pieces of cloth from the parents and ask the women in the village to help make the school uniforms for the students, and the village would pay for the labor. Is this okay? " Zhou Zhigao and his daughter were stunned, especially Xiaolan. She just asked Uncle Sixteen to help her find some old clothes, but she didn't expect that he would make such a big deal and make two new sets for the students. Although it only cost one or two yuan for the cloth, as long as the parents were not stupid, they would be willing to pay this money! "Okay, I'll go talk to the Party Secretary and inform the villagers." This was a big deal, and Zhou Zhigao could no longer sit still. After he left, Zhou Yimin said to Xiaolan: "These four rolls of cloth should be enough, and the rest can be used to make a set for you and your father. The style of school uniforms must be unified..." What girl doesn’t like new clothes? Xiaolan was so happy that she quickly took out the cut watermelon and gave it to Zhou Yimin to eat. "I don't want to eat anymore. I'm going back first." As he said that, Zhou Yimin pointed to the bottom of his shopping basket, where there were two watermelons lying! Seeing the two watermelons, Xiaolan stopped forcing them and started sharing the watermelons with the students. Thanks to brother Su Laomai for his 500 reward, brother 190331123718038 for his 200 reward, and brother Aiheqieshui for his 100 reward! Today's first update. (End of this chapter)
