The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 187: Useless

It’s hot in midsummer.

Thinking that the weather was hot, Shen Zhiping went to see Deputy Director Li and got enough industrial tickets, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to get an electric fan.

At night, when the electric fan was turned on, it instantly became much cooler.

As for whether you will catch a cold if you use an electric fan?
The mosquito net at this time is quite thick.

So, there is no need to worry at all.

Because they had a daughter, Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing always had to wake up once or twice at night.

Fortunately, both of them are still young and in good health, so it doesn't have much impact. They just need to take a nap at noon.

With the mother-in-law coming over to help from time to time, the two of them have an easy time taking care of the baby.

The only troublesome thing is that diapers have to be washed every day.

Although I have prepared a lot of diapers, when it rains continuously, diapers are still a big problem and are never enough.

Fortunately, there is a fan at home, which can be used to dry the washed diapers in rainy weather.

……

Finally, another day off.

The weather is very nice and sunny.

Well, in the hot summer, the bright sunshine means extreme heat.

After breakfast, Shen Zhiping washed the diapers and hung them in the yard to dry. He said hello to Liu Wanqing and hurried out to the supply and marketing cooperative.

A few days ago, he chatted with the older sister at the supply and marketing cooperative and learned that the cooperative would have watermelons available today. He gave a deposit immediately and asked the older sister to help reserve a few for him.

Although a deposit has been paid, this thing is rare and in short supply.

Therefore, Shen Zhiping rushed over early in the morning to avoid having too little to share and having some people take it all up first.

"Engineer Shen, you're here too early!"

When Shen Zhiping rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative, it had just opened and was making preparations. The saleswoman was also quite surprised to see Shen Zhiping.

"I've already promised to keep it for you, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of making things difficult for you, big sister!"

"After all, there aren't many things, and everyone wants them!"

Shen Zhiping laughed.

There aren’t many things, but they are indeed good things that everyone desires.

But the problem is, this thing is expensive!

Most people really can’t afford it and are reluctant to buy it.

Shen Zhiping bought six at once.

My father-in-law gave two to my family, I kept two for myself, and arranged the other two for my senior brother, with the main goal of treating everyone equally and impartially.

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't left, we would have to arrange two for the other party.

Unfortunately, Lou Xiao'e has already gone to Hong Kong City.

Although Hong Kong City has not yet developed, it is still much better than here. All kinds of fruits, well, are still very expensive.

After all, the port city is too small and many things rely on imports from outside.

Shen Zhiping did not take the six watermelons directly back to the Siheyuan. Instead, he first gave two watermelons to his father-in-law's house, then gave two watermelons to his senior brother's house, and finally brought two watermelons back to the Siheyuan.

After all, today is a day off and no one has to go to work.

The finished product does not want to become the target of public criticism.

Nowadays, most people would never buy watermelon. Even if they want to buy it, they would only buy a little to taste it.

When Shen Zhiping came back to the courtyard with two watermelons, he was spotted by Yan Bugui as soon as he entered the front yard.

Yan Bugui, who was about to go fishing, saw the watermelon that Shen Zhiping brought and his eyes looked a little strange.

Shen Zhiping smiled calmly and said, "Teacher Yan, are you going fishing?"

"Ah, yes, let's go fishing!"

Yan Bugui smiled back, "Engineer Shen, do you want to join us?"

"No, no, it's too hot!"

Shen Zhiping declined.

Go fishing on such a hot day?
He wasn't in such a good mood.

"Engineer Shen, where did you buy this watermelon? How much is it per pound?"

"The supply and marketing cooperative has it for sale. If you want to buy it, hurry over now. There should still be some available!"

Shen Zhiping only answered half of Yan Bugui's question, then waved his hand and pushed his bicycle towards the east wing.

How much does a pound of watermelon cost?
Sorry, if you want to know, just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask.

The main reason is that Shen Zhiping doesn't want to hit Yan Bugui. It would be bad if the other party was too upset.

……

When he got home, Shen Zhiping immediately opened a watermelon, cut it into small pieces, and ate it slowly with his wife.

Don't worry about it going bad if you don't finish it.

Because the watermelons at this time are really not big.

If Shen Zhiping started eating without restraint, he could finish the whole thing by himself without any hesitation.

“It’s so delicious!”

Liu Wanqing doesn't eat much, and she eats very elegantly.

She is still breastfeeding, so she is very particular about her diet.

Shen Zhiping didn’t think this watermelon was very delicious. The taste was still far inferior to the watermelons of later generations.

After eating the watermelon, Shen Zhiping cleaned up the watermelon rind, chopped it into small pieces, and buried it in the ground to make fertilizer.

Liu Wanqing sat on the chair and suddenly said quietly, "Shen Zhiping, how is Sister Xiao'e now?"

"Well, it should be very comfortable!"

Shen Zhiping had no idea how Lou Xiao'e was doing now.

The last time he went to Hong Kong City, he had the opportunity to take a walk outside, but unfortunately a defector appeared in the team, resulting in everyone having to stay in the hotel.

If he could wander around, if he was lucky, he might even meet Lou Xiao'e.

Of course, luck is something very illusory.

"I don't know if I can meet Sister Xiao'e again in this life?"

Thinking of Lou Xiaoe, Liu Wanqing felt a little sad.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiping smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely see each other again!"

It is now the summer of 1964. When the storm is over, Lou Xiao'e might come back to take a look.

Of course, not necessarily!
In the plot, Lou Xiao'e came back because she gave birth to a son, He Xiao, for Sha Zhu.

But now, because of his intrusion, the marriage thread between Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu was severed, and Lou Xiao'e went to Hong Kong City without any worries.

Therefore, Shen Zhiping was not sure whether Lou Xiao'e would come back after the policy changed.

However, even if Lou Xiao'e doesn't come back, they can still go there.

He is a man with cheats, so it is easy for him to accumulate wealth. "Damn, I don't know if this cheat will show any additional annotations if I use it to check stocks. If so, wouldn't I be able to become a stock god?"

Shen Zhiping suddenly wanted to go to Hong Kong or abroad again, at least to verify whether his plug-in could make him a big hit in the stock market.

What a pity, this opportunity is so rare!

Coincidentally, just as Shen Zhiping had this idea, the opportunity came.

He was assigned to go on a business trip again, still to Hong Kong City, and for the same matter as last time, responsible for checking whether there were any problems with that batch of machines.

If there may be no problem with the machine before, now this possibility is infinitely reduced to zero.

The foreigners detained those machines. After this period of time, it is hard to say whether the machines and equipment are still in their original state.

Therefore, Shen Zhiping's visit this time is of great significance.

Shen Zhiping had no choice but to send his wife and daughter back to her parents' home.

"Go early and come back early. My daughter and I will be waiting for you at home!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back in ten days at most!"

Shen Zhiping didn't think that anything would go wrong on this trip. It was impossible for the foreigners to detain the machines for the second time!
After three days of travel, the group arrived at the port city again.

We are still staying in the same hotel as last time, and we are still not allowed to move around freely.

After resting for half a day and one night, Shen Zhiping, led by the relevant person in charge, went to check the machines.

When Shen Zhiping saw these machines and looked at the information prompted by the plug-ins, Shen Zhiping's face became very ugly.

As expected, the foreigners are still determined to destroy us!

All the machinery and equipment were damaged, either with parts stolen or core components destroyed.

To put it bluntly, even if this batch of machinery and equipment is shipped back, they cannot be put into use.

Even if you want to repair it?
The core components were damaged, and with the current domestic technical conditions, there is no way to repair them.

Shen Zhiping could use the detailed data of the plug-in to repair or even imitate it, but he couldn't do that.

His knowledge and vision are not enough to complete such a task.

Seeing that the storm is about to rise, Shen Zhiping does not want to stand at the forefront of it at this time. By then, any storm can crush him to pieces.

Shen Zhiping reported his judgment to the superiors, and the team leader immediately sent a telegram to contact their superiors and report the situation.

The machinery and equipment have been destroyed, and Shen Zhiping judged that they cannot be repaired for the time being.

So, do you still need these devices?
This is a problem!
"The leaders are discussing this. During this period, everyone can be more relaxed. If you want to go out for a walk, you can go out for a walk!"

This time, the team leader did not restrict everyone's actions.

After Shen Zhiping knew about this, he was in a good mood. He planned to go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to see if his plug-in could analyze the stock trend.

If I could, wow, I would become rich!

After asking someone about the location of the stock exchange, Shen Zhiping strolled out.

He has no capital now, so even if the plug-in can see something, he has no chance to make himself rich now and can only wait for the future.

Shen Zhiping slowly arrived at the stock exchange and followed the crowd into the exchange. When his eyes saw the stock trading machine, the plug-in immediately popped up relevant information about the stock trading machine.

Just when Shen Zhiping was extremely depressed, things took a turn for the better.

When the stock trader started to operate, the plug-in information changed, and the data showed detailed data of that stock and marked the stock trend in the next month.

"Fuck!"

Shen Zhiping almost lost control of his expression when he saw the detailed data of this stock and its trend in the past month.

It really can!

Unfortunately, Shen Zhiping didn't have time to be happy. When his eyes fell on another stock trading machine, the data trend of the same stock appeared there.

The same stock may show different trends on two stock trading machines.

Although the difference is small, it proves that my plug-in doesn't work!
Obviously, the display of this plug-in is instant.

For the same stock, the trend is constantly changing due to changes in buying and selling data. The analysis of this plug-in can be said to be real-time, but it is obvious that this immediacy has a lag for stock trading.

In other words, if Shen Zhiping wants to grasp the data trend of a certain stock at any time, he has to operate from time to time.

If you say that the prompts brought by this plug-in are useless, it is useful. If you say that it is useful, its function seems useless.

"Grass!"

【This is a plant! 】

Shen Zhiping left the stock exchange cursing. He didn't know how to describe his cheat.

Forget it, I'll just deal with antiques, gambling on stones and the like when the time comes.

This plug-in of his is obviously not powerful enough and is not a conceptual system.

Think about those people who are reborn and can cheat in stock trading, they all have predictive systems, which are simply squeezing the juice out of the coffin of science.

After returning to the hotel, Shen Zhiping decided not to go anywhere else.

He was hit hard and a little depressed. He just wanted to go home quickly, hug his sweet-smelling wife and seek comfort.

"Mr. Shen!"

In the evening, the team leader suddenly came.

"Leader, what's the mission?"

Shen Zhiping looked at the team leader and his attitude was very good.

Compared to the last leader, this one is obviously more approachable.

"Are you sure that there is no way to repair that batch of machines?"

The team leader's expression was quite solemn.

Shen Zhiping shrugged, spread his hands, and said, "Leader, let me put it this way, many delicate parts of that batch of machines are missing, and the core components are also damaged!"

"Let's take it back. If we really need to repair it, then it's definitely possible to fix it. It's just that it will take a very long time. As for how long it will take, I can't be sure!"

"As long as it can be repaired, time is not a problem!"

The team leader smiled after hearing what Shen Zhiping said, "It would be even more difficult if we were to manufacture these machines and equipment completely by ourselves!"

"Although she is pregnant now, at least we can learn some skills from her!"

"Besides, this time it's the price of scrap metal!"

Shen Zhiping was also happy to hear the team leader's final words.

Scrap iron price, this is good!
"Leader, if we buy these things at the price of scrap metal, will the other party be happy?"

Shen Zhiping felt that the other party might not complete the transaction so readily. After all, this batch of machines were truly top-notch, high-tech equipment at the time.

“They are the ones at fault!”

The leader of the team laughed and said, "Could it be that they didn't take good care of the machines and we have to pay them according to the price of intact equipment? There is no such good thing in this world!"

Shen Zhiping nodded and said no more.

He didn't know who helped him buy this batch of machines, but what was certain was that the other party must have suffered a huge loss.

Speaking of which, the reason why this batch of machines was seized by the foreigners was because there was a traitor among them.

However, Shen Zhiping obviously couldn't say such words.

We must make it clear who is in cahoots with whom!

After deciding to ship the machinery and equipment back as scrap metal, Shen Zhiping and his team set off on their return journey. This time, they will head north with the cargo ship carrying the machinery and equipment.
