Chapter 219 Encounter on the road
A month later, Xia Zhi followed the tractor from the chicken farm to transport the eggs to the county town.
Originally, this job should have been Li Xuemei's job, but Li Xuemei had been feeling unwell for the past two days and fell ill at home.
So Xia Zhi temporarily replaced Team Leader Li as the person to transport eggs this time.
They had to go to Xiajia Village, 100 miles away, to pick up another batch of eggs from there.
Send these eggs together to the county supply and marketing cooperative.
Tractors are not as fast as cars, but they are much faster than bullock carts.
There were two people who went to deliver the goods together.
This time, it was Gao Yanbin who followed Xia Zhi to deliver the goods.
Gao Yanbin is also a very powerful person. Even though he has only been around for just over a month, he has already become integrated with all the employees in the chicken farm.
Not only can he talk, but he can also do things. In the eyes of everyone, he is a capable and hard-working young man.
Except for Xia Zhi, he is the only person who is considered by everyone to not have those stinky problems of the educated youth.
Of course, Gao Yanbin took the initiative to apply today because he knew that today was the summer solstice.
He usually didn't have time to catch up with Xia Zhi. He had long known that there was a problem between Xia Zhi and Gu Zhaolin, but he couldn't find out what it was.
But the conflict between him and Gu Zhaolin is now becoming more intense.
Gu Zhaolin is not only lazy but also very ambitious.
I always make a fuss about myself being a cultural person.
But in a chicken farm, who cares if you are a cultural person?
Those chickens will not stop pooping in your coop just because you are a cultured person, nor will they skip two meals just because you are a cultured person.
When Gu Zhaolin returned to the dormitory, he wanted to continue to stick to his character.
It's a pity that it didn't work after a while.
He has serious problems with his personal hygiene. He seems to be a clean young man on weekdays, but that is because someone does these things for him.
In the previous village, many girls liked Gu Zhaolin, who was fair and fair, and had outstanding looks, so many people were willing to help him work.
But here they are basically all family members, and there are very few single young women.
He had a falling out with Wang Mei and two other female educated youths, so he had to do his own thing.
Now he is asked to wash his own clothes, cook or do anything. The clothes are so dirty that it takes a long time to wash them.
The conditions at the chicken farm are even worse than in the village.
The main reason is that everything is tight here, so Gu Zhaolin has to be self-sufficient.
Gu Zhaolin didn't know how to cook, so you could imagine how painful it would be.
At first, Gu Zhaolin thought that reconciling with Gao Yanbin would improve his life. Who knew that Gao Yanbin was not a fool.
As soon as he saw Gu Zhaolin like this, he knew that the other party wanted to take advantage of him.
Gao Yanbin didn't pay any attention to Gu Zhaolin, so the quarrel between the two was very tense.
No talking, no communication.
The most irritating thing was that Gu Zhaolin didn't pay attention to his own personal hygiene, and he and Gao Yanbin were having a hard time together.
He didn't empty the urinal at night even in the morning.
There was a smell in the room, and Gao Yanbin didn't want to help him deal with it. As a result, their dormitory was now a mess.
Gao Yanbin always wanted to kick Gu Zhaolin out, but it was obviously not possible without a good excuse.
On the other hand, Gao Yanbin could see that Gu Zhaolin would secretly steal his own food and use his own seasonings while he was away.
This is a bit irritating. No one is rich in food these days.
If others take your food, you will go hungry.
But they are in the same room, so this kind of thing is really difficult to deal with.
Find a lock and lock these things?
The problem is that the house is so small that there is not even room for a cupboard.
Gao Yanbin has been thinking about cooking with others. In this case, it would be easier to share his food with others.
But those who have family members cannot partner up with others.
And other people obviously don't want to hang out with educated youths like them.
People from other factories have no contact with them, so it is not easy to talk to them.
Gao Yanbin looked around and focused on Xia Zhi, mainly because Xia Zhi was alone and had conflicts with Gu Zhaolin.
The most important thing is that everyone in this dormitory area knows that Xia Zhi is good at cooking. Every time Xia Zhi cooks, an indescribable fragrance will float throughout the dormitory area.
Gao Yanbin has been thinking about striking up a conversation with Xia Zhi. Isn't there no chance?
Today I heard that Xia Zhi was going to send this batch of goods for delivery, so I immediately volunteered to be a delivery porter.
Xia Zhi and Gao Yanbin were sitting in the back seat of the tractor.
All the eggs piled next to them were placed in wooden boxes with straw.
This is the best packaging method of this era.
Xia Zhi thought it would be a good time to go to the county town this time, so that he could buy some things and come back.
I have been here for more than two months, and I use less and less things, but going to the county town may be my first opportunity.
You can't buy anything with money here. In fact, many things at home are out of stock.
While he was closing his eyes and concentrating there, the tractor suddenly stopped. Due to the sudden braking, Xia Zhi almost hit the box head-on.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that a group of people were fighting next to the avenue.
The tractor driver is Chen Dazhuang, a famous man in their chicken farm.
As his name suggests, he is tall and strong. Generally speaking, Chen Dazhuang drives a tractor to deliver goods. It is because of his body that most people would not dare to trouble Chen Dazhuang if something happens on the road.
Chen Dazhuang stopped the car now. Firstly, he couldn't drive through because there were several people standing on the road. Secondly, the group of people didn't know what was going on. Chen Dazhuang himself didn't know what was going on. While he stopped the car,
He had already whispered to the two people behind him.
"Copy it, just in case."
Before they left, the factory director told them that if anything bad happened on the road, both men and women must protect collective property.
These days, collective property is even more important than one's own life.
When they went out, they prepared a wooden stick for each of them in the back pocket of the car.
It was a fire stick as thick as a wrist.
The hardest wooden stick they have here.
It will definitely hit someone accurately and hard, and it will definitely hurt you.
Xia Zhi was startled, grabbed the stick from his side and put it in his hand.
I've heard of Roadhog before, but we haven't seen one either.
Gao Yanbin also picked up the stick, and the two of them walked to the front of the car. They could jump off at any time if something bad happened.
Chen Dazhuang got out of the car.
Apparently these people on the road also saw them, they should be six young men.
To be precise, five young men beat one young man.
