Chapter 145: Master Quan's Request In addition, Zhang Jianshe also learned about some of the other “moves” Zhoujiazhuang was making. He felt it was a very bold attempt—if successful, it might allow Zhoujiazhuang to achieve its ideal of “communism.” Zhoujiazhuang could serve as a pilot project; once it succeeded, it could be promoted elsewhere. Zhou Yimin shook his head and made it clear to Zhang Jianshe that he didn’t want to stir up trouble. What he wanted was simply to make things better…- 989.2 K • Ongoing

- Chapter 143: Zhang Jianshe’s Shock “Uncle Zhang, why are you bringing so much stuff?” Zhou Yimin couldn’t help asking. There were clothes, hats, shoes—everything. Wasn’t this overlapping with the gifts he had prepared? Zhang Jianshe laughed and said, “Your aunt and I only prepared one set of clothes. The rest are from your father’s former colleagues. Just a token of their goodwill, nothing particularly valuable.” Upon hearing this, Zhou Yimin gave a slight nod and thought to himself,…

- Chapter 142: Birthday Gift Li Youde stood in for Zhou Yimin to welcome Master Quan. They were fairly well acquainted—after all, they lived in neighboring yards.

Zhou Yimin asked Zhou Dazhong to help haul some things back to Zhoujiazhuang: a whole slab of pork, sixty jin of beef, three barrels of fish, one hundred jin of large shrimp, and two big sacks of pig bones.

- Chapter 139: Hiring the Projectionist Right now, the renminbi still holds considerable value—about 2.5 yuan could be exchanged for 1 US dollar. Of course, you couldn’t get a dollar for 2.5 yuan on the black market. As mentioned earlier, foreign currency was in extreme short supply in China, and it was nearly impossible to acquire foreign currency through official channels.

He’s one of ours, lives right in the front yard. You came at the right time—he’s home today.” The old man shouted toward the inside after speaking, “Guofu, come out, someone’s here for you.” They were already in a different neighborhood, so it was understandable that the old man…

- Chapter 136: Mushroom Seeds When the old Party Secretary heard that Zhou Yimin was planning a 60th birthday celebration for his grandmother—and from the looks of it, he was going to do it properly—he couldn't help feeling a twinge of envy. Compared to his own grandson, who was basically a useless mess, this was a stark contrast. His own grandson couldn’t even remember his birthday, let alone help plan a celebration. Might as well go to bed early tonight—maybe he’d dream of something…
