Along the way, the two chatted every now and then.
After a while, they returned home.
Chen Qiaoyi is breastfeeding her child.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying walked into the house. Chen Qiaoyi raised her head and saw them, and said with a smile: "You are back."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
When little Yueyue saw Zhou Ziwen, she was babbling and was not being honest when drinking milk.
Zhou Ziwen walked over, gently touched little Yueyue's head, and said with a smile: "Little Yueyue is good, drink milk well."
Chen Qiaoyi rolled her eyes at Zhou Ziwen and said angrily: "It's all your fault. Little Yueyue is not honest when she sees you."
Zhou Ziwen chuckled and stopped talking.
Chen Shiying walked into the kitchen and started preparing lunch.
Zhou Ziwen also followed into the kitchen and helped.
Chen Shiying's cooking skills are very good and her movements are fast. With Zhou Ziwen's help, the meal was ready in a short time.
The aroma of the food filled the whole house.
After Chen Qiaoyi finished feeding, she walked into the kitchen with little Yueyue in her arms and said with a smile: "It smells so good, sister, Brother Ziwen, thank you for your hard work."
The family sat around the dining table and started eating.
Zhou Ziwen chatted with the two sisters for a while about repairing the machine.
The two sisters never doubted his abilities.
In their hearts, Zhou Ziwen is the most outstanding person in the world.
As long as he wants to do anything, there is nothing he can't do.
After eating, Zhou Ziwen lay on the kang and played with little Yueyue for a while.
After little Yueyue got tired from playing and went to bed, Zhou Ziwen took out the books he bought in the county today and read through them.
After watching it for a while, Zhou Ziwen felt that his eyes were a little sore. After all, he had been busy for a long time in the morning and went back and forth to the county seat, so he was mentally exhausted.
He rubbed his eyes gently, put the book aside, then closed his eyes, preparing to take a nap.
The afternoon sunlight shines through the window on the kang, giving people a warm and cozy feeling.
When she woke up, Chen Shiying had already gone to work, while Chen Qiaoyi and Xiao Yueyue were still sleeping.
Zhou Ziwen got up lightly, tidied up a little, and then set off towards the county town on his bicycle.
Along the way, the breeze blew on my face, and the sun shone on my body, making it warm.
The trees on both sides of the road are lush and green, and the leaves sway gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
The crops in the fields are growing beautifully, and they are green, as if they have laid a green carpet on the earth.
The mountains in the distance are undulating, showing a dark blue color under the sunlight.
Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle and enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery.
Riding a bicycle, Zhou Ziwen quickly arrived at the county seat.
He rode straight towards the supply and marketing cooperative, parked his bicycle, and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are people coming and going in the supply and marketing cooperative, and there are a wide variety of products.
Zhou Ziwen carefully searched for what he needed in the tool area.
After some selection, he successfully bought a cutting machine and a grinder, but unfortunately, he did not buy a welding machine.
In this day and age, welding machines are still relatively rare. In addition to the electric welding machine, he also did not buy any parts to repair the threshing machine.
“It seems we can only go to the scrap collection station to have a look.”
After thinking about it, Zhou Ziwen decided to go to the scrap collection station to search for treasures.
The scrap collection station has everything. Although it is scrap, for him, it is a good place to find treasures.
After saving up, he should be able to get what he needs.
Thinking of this, he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, rode his bicycle, and rushed towards the scrap collection station.
The scrap collection station is located on the edge of the county, and the surrounding environment is somewhat messy.
When Zhou Ziwen walked into the scrap collection station, a pungent smell hit his face.
"Comrade, what do you have to sell?"
As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by a purchaser.
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and handed it to the buyer. He smiled and said, "Comrade, thank you for your hard work. I'm not here to sell anything. I just want to see if I can find something I need here." something.”
The buyer took the cigarette, looked at Zhou Ziwen, smiled, and said, "Oh? What do you need?"
Zhou Ziwen said: "I am repairing a machine and need some parts, such as an electric welding machine, and some parts for repairing a threshing machine, such as pistons, piston rings, etc. I couldn't find them at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I wanted to come here to try them. Try your luck.”
After hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, the buyer showed a troubled look on his face.
"Comrade, these things you want are a bit troublesome."
"You also know that everything we have here needs to be classified and processed, such as scrap metal, waste paper, waste plastic, waste glass, etc. After these items are classified and processed, they can be reused or sold to the production department for processing. Reproduction, in principle, cannot be sold.”
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly said: "Comrade, I know this is not in compliance with the regulations, but I really need these things. Our village's production relies on this machine to be repaired. If it cannot be repaired, this year's harvest may be affected. . Can you please be accommodating? I will pay according to the price you mentioned.”
The buyer looked at Zhou Ziwen's sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Okay, since you need it so much, then go look for it. But you have to be careful, only take what you need and don't look for other things."
Although it cannot be sold in principle, buying stations also encounter many situations like Zhou Ziwen's.
Giving convenience to others means giving convenience to yourself.
After all, Zhou Ziwen spending money to buy things is equivalent to extra money for them.
It was precisely because of knowing this that Zhou Ziwen came to the scrap collection station.
"Thank you, comrade. Don't worry, I won't mess with it." Zhou Ziwen nodded happily.
The buyer took a puff of cigarette, pointed to the pile of scraps next to him and said, "You can start looking over there."
After Zhou Ziwen thanked him again, he walked in the direction pointed by the buyer and began to search carefully in the scrap pile.
Zhou Ziwen rummaged through the scrap pile carefully. Although the smell in the scrap pile was not very good, he worked hard to find the parts he needed.
After some hard work, Zhou Ziwen finally found a bunch of things he thought might be useful.
There are some metal parts shaped like pistons and piston rings, but they are not original parts and need to be taken back and modified before they can be used.
There are also some materials that can be used to make parts related to the welding machine, but the main part of the welding machine has not been found.
Zhou Ziwen was quite satisfied with this.
After all, electric welding machines are not common things in the first place, so it would be nice to find a few related parts.
Anyway, there is not only one scrap collection station in the county. You can just go to several other scrap collection stations later.
He estimates that he will definitely become a frequent visitor to the scrap collection station in the next period of time.
After all, there were a lot of machines to be repaired at home, especially the tractor, which had a complex structure. Although he hadn't taken it apart yet, he knew that the tractor was the most difficult to repair. (End of chapter)
