I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 126 Uncle Zhang is called Dad
"You're not going back to Shazhou again? Are you up to something outside, Zhang Zhengdong? Tell me honestly, do you have connections in Fengyi County?"

"Yes, I have a dozen or twenty young, beautiful, and considerate women who are younger than you, and I sleep with them every day! Fuck you, all you ever do is think about these things. If you want to be with me, then be with me; if not, then get out! Next time you call and it's this kind of thing again, I'm divorcing you! Fuck you..."

Because Uncle Zhang's plan to return at the end of May fell through again, Teacher Li Jiawen was so angry that she was jumping up and down, fearing that her husband might be having an affair.

When she asked him three questions, Uncle Zhang on the other end of the phone was even more agitated than she was.

Anyway, I got married in my forties, so there's not much I'll lose if I get divorced.

Uncle Zhang is as steadfast as ever when it comes to beauty. Fengyi County has never lacked beautiful women since ancient times, even in the most difficult times. Now that life is better, there are plenty of pretty girls in the county.

However, Zhang Zhengdong was even more prudent than Liu Xiahui.

As for why they couldn't come back at the end of May, it's because they were busy filling in a ditch outside the construction site and temporarily turning it into a material storage yard.

The ground leveling was done very quickly. The villagers, who were initially skeptical, are now indeed going to the construction site with Zhang Zhengdong.

The workers are all parents of school-aged children, and they are all hoping to complete the first phase of the school construction as soon as possible.

Trusting Zhang Zhengdong, the workers did not engage in any underhanded practices during their work and followed the rules and regulations.

The logic is simple: who will use this school once it's built?

Pengcheng City originally had a construction company that made a living from school construction, but this time the provincial youth development foundation's review was extremely strict, so the company was not awarded the contract. While Zhang Da'an was arguing with others online, Uncle Zhang led his fellow villagers to have a showdown with the arrogant construction company team.

The value of having served in the military lies in its high level of organization.

The value of this rural area in Fengyi County lies in the memory of pushing wheelbarrows to the front lines back then, which seems to be engraved in their genes. They called up their brothers in one go, and Uncle Zhang led a professional team to fight wherever they were told.

Finally, the armed police from Shandong Province arrived...

There's nothing we can do about it. It looks like Fengyi County is about to "start a business," and who can stand that?
Since ancient times, Pengcheng has been a place where...

Uncle Zhang is different from other cadres. He has an indifferent attitude towards his career and has been thinking about ways to generate income ever since he arrived before the Chinese New Year.

The school needs to be built, but textbook fees also need to be collected.

But the cost of books doesn't just fall from the sky, so after learning a trick or two from my great nephew, I immediately went to find my old comrade-in-arms whom I hadn't been in touch with much before.

Of course, the first thing to do is go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, then contact the old comrades who work there, and only then can the cooperative project be put on the agenda.

Originally, the experts and agricultural technicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences were really unwilling to come to a place like Fengyi County.

Firstly, the soil is really bad, and it will take another ten or twenty years to improve it; secondly, the rural customs in the early years were too simple and honest, leaving a very deep impression on people. How deep? To the point that even highway robbers and bandits didn't want to bother with them.

This is a place where dreams are more barren than the land itself. Although it is part of Jiangkou Province, it is ultimately still a "Yellow River flood zone".

But Uncle Zhang is different from others. He doesn't care about science or not; all he knows is that his nephew has the world's oldest testicle...

Nobody is more awesome than my nephew!
Grow mushrooms!
Growing shiitake mushrooms!
Growing oyster mushrooms!
The initial investment was not much; the three brigades produced three kinds of mushrooms, and the total investment was less than 200,000 yuan.

The materials used to build the greenhouse, except for the bricks which were purchased locally, were all directly purchased on credit from companies in Shazhou City.

The bill will be charged to Zhang Zhengdong. As for the goods, you can give them to me whenever I, Zhang Zhengdong, need them.

We can't live without it.

Otherwise, I'll have my nephew file a formal complaint with the city authorities.

Don't say you didn't predict what you said.

Fan Wencheng's thief Zong Sang (beast) is currently locked up in a prison in Zhongwu City, where he carries materials to the cement production workshop every day, which is much harder than operating a sewing machine.

This move left the people at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences dumbfounded: No way, this works?
The results are outstanding, and there's no need to go to Shazhou to pick up the goods. The canals in Jiangkou Province are quite developed. If you need to ship goods to a fixed location in Shazhou City without using company vehicles, shipping via the canals within the province is extremely cost-effective.

The main reason is that Zhang Zhengdong doesn't have high requirements for the pickup time, so the goods are loaded onto ships in Shazhou City and then unloaded at Qingjiang Wharf in Huaiyin City.

Uncle Zhang can have someone pick up the goods in Huaiyin City, or in Sucheng City, or even directly in Pengcheng City. The nearest canal wharf to Fengyi County is actually at Weishan Lake.

Running a boat is quite different from running a car. You have to consider the locks, the navigation conditions, and sometimes the attitude of the local boat captain. In short, the real guilds with a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) don't have such a strong group of truck drivers, but those who run boats are not much different from those a thousand years ago.

When the price of inland waterway boats plummeted, and no one wanted to buy second-hand sand boats, the local flavor of the riverboats diminished considerably.

To avoid trouble, Zhang Zhengdong mainly chose to haul goods from Huaiyin City and Sucheng City. These two places have always had good relations with Shazhou, Jiyang, and Shanghu, with official and private cooperation for many years. The market situation here is quite different from that in Pengcheng. Fortunately, the distance is short, and calling a truck for hauling goods doesn't incur much extra cost. Therefore, the progress of the first phase of the "Zhang An Hope Primary School" project is far slower than that of the "Mushroom Cultivation Pilot Base" in Chenzhuang Town.

After disinfection, the first batch of spawn was oyster mushrooms, using a variety from Guanzhong Province called "Shaanxi You No. 8". Its characteristic is that it grows quickly, and it can be transferred to fruiting culture in seven days. The yield is average. It is not special in Guanzhong Province, but it is considered special in Shazhou City.

Because it doesn't have such a strong "oyster mushroom flavor," it can be used to stir-fry eggs or sausages, allowing it to absorb flavors from other ingredients.

The downside is that it doesn't weigh much, and although the meat is thick and fatty, it's also easy to break, which is not conducive to long-distance transportation.

However, considering the distance within the province, it can't be considered a particularly long-distance journey.

Zhang Zhengdong led the villagers in training, planting, learning, and construction simultaneously. Not only were the villagers inspired, but the village cadres of the three brigades were even more motivated than the villagers.

The reason wasn't because Uncle Zhang was a great philanthropist, but because they had seen and heard it with their own eyes and ears: Zhang Zhengdong was exchanging boasts with people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, saying that if they helped him get this matter settled, he would introduce his nephew to a meal to see if there were any research projects worth investing in...

Those who do research can't stand the word "funding," so they led their team straight from Yangtai City to Pengcheng, determined to get their hands on the mushrooms with their four-month production cycle.

Shiitake mushrooms are not just for stir-frying vegetables or adding to hot pot.

In fact, it has a fixed position in the entire Wudu region.

That's "mushroom oil noodles." At this time, the cost-effectiveness of mushrooms is particularly high, since it's impossible for so many "mushroom oil noodles" to actually use local mushrooms to make the oil.

Generally speaking, it's very difficult for a new Wu-style noodle shop to compete with an established one.

It's not that the noodles or the toppings are bad, nor is it about the dining experience; it's purely a habit.

Unless it's a gimmick.

From the moment Uncle Zhang saw the mushroom-shaped hair, he had a very bold plan in mind: to ride on his nephew's fame.

If others open a Wu-style noodle shop, they're doomed. But what if my noodle shop originated from "Zhuangyuanlou"?
Don't ask which "Top Scholar Building" this is. Anyway, in the world today, there is only one "Top Scholar Building" with a living top scholar.

No one can change anything. My nephew, Zhang Zhengdong's nephew, is a two-time top scorer in the college entrance examination, majoring in both arts and sciences... Pshaw, he's a three-time top scorer in the college entrance examination, majoring in both arts and sciences!
There has never been anyone like him before, and there may never be anyone like him again.

The Mount Everest of the college entrance examination world!

Anyway, if I, Zhang Zhengdong, were to pull out "Zhuangyuan Noodle Shop"... I wonder how all you established Wu-style noodle shops would resist?

If business is really bad, they curse the kids who don't come to eat noodles, saying they won't get into a top high school, and then they won't get into university...

Draw a circle to curse you!
Uncle Zhang has been so engrossed in drawing circles that he's been working like a dog lately. Over the past few months, he hasn't even spent a full week in Shazhou City.

Couples who live apart for extended periods, especially those with an older man and a younger woman, are bound to have some resentment.

However, after the heated argument over the phone, Li Jiawen proved to be quite capable. She asked her boss, who was also her nephew Zhang Da'an, for leave and then went to the construction site to look for her husband.

For this matter, Zhang Da'an specially arranged for a courtyard in the county town to be renovated to his liking, ensuring that Li Jiawen, his aunt, would not suffer any grievances while living there.

After all, based on the events before his rebirth, his aunt Li Jiawen would be pregnant with a little brother this year.

However, this little brother's academic performance was also average. Even though his mother was a primary school teacher, he had already become a "bad student" during his primary school years. Later, he was admitted to Shazhou No. 2 Vocational School through Zhang Da'an's connections.

Even so, because he was indeed short of points, Zhang Da'an had to pay tens of thousands of yuan...

At that time, Uncle Zhang worked in the security department of the bureau, doing odd jobs every day until he retired. He never mentioned his son's academic performance.

Of course, fortunately no one asked, so it didn't really hurt Uncle Zhang's pride at the time.

Later, after graduating from vocational school, my younger brother came to Zhang Da'an's place to work as a training assistant for CNC milling.

If he were to be reborn and then ruin his little brother, Zhang Da'an would probably never be able to sleep again.

When the college entrance examination season came in June, Zhang Da'an used to go fishing in the boundary river every day at the Mazhou branch school. Things are different now. The boundary river is now the private property of Xindongwei Port Middle School, and there are plenty of fish.

After catching half a bucket of big crucian carp with "Zhang Xiaobai," Zhang Da'an received some good news: Uncle Zhang became a father and Teacher Li became a mother.

There are a lot of children, about two hundred.
