Chapter 327 Reservoir Completed After the power lines were installed, the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang were thrilled and full of anticipation.

If any village managed to get it, it was absolutely something to brag about. Thanks to the full-throttle efforts of the Zhoujiazhuang villagers, the reservoir that was originally estimated…-

Chapter 326 As soon as the old village secretary received the money, he took it over to Zhou Yimin. When Zhou Yimin saw the money he handed over, he didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it directly. Seeing that Zhou Yimin didn’t even count the money, the old village secretary reminded him, “Yimin, better count it just in case.” “Don’t tell me I can’t trust you, old village secretary?” Zhou Yimin casually slipped the money into his pocket—though in truth, he stored it into his…

Chapter 325 Zhou Yimin started measuring from the location of the reservoir—not with a ruler, of course, since there was no ruler that long. If this were the future, he could’ve just used laser equipment to instantly measure the exact distance. But now, he could only rely on the most primitive method—each step was roughly one meter, so he’d count the number of steps to estimate the total distance. To be safe, he would make sure to allow for extra. Humans aren’t machines, and it’s…

Chapter 324: Carbonization Treatment When Zhou Xuqing and the others transported the first batch of timber back to the village, the old village secretary and his team had already finished cutting down fifty Chinese fir trees and were in the process of trimming the branches. The brigade leader and the security team were standing guard on the outermost perimeter.

Chapter 323: Oxcart Stuck in a Ditch With that rascal Zhou Ping’s promise, the old branch secretary reluctantly agreed not to tell Zhou Ping’s parents about the matter. Otherwise, that kid would surely have gotten a severe beating. In those days, there was no such thing as a law against hitting children—no one even thought that way. The old branch secretary emphasized again, “If I catch you doing it again, I will definitely inform your parents. You know what the consequences will…

Chapter 322: Electric Poles As the construction of the reservoir nears completion, the next task is to install electric poles. The poles must be erected first, as only then can the power lines be connected. The wires running from the reservoir to the village need support; without it, the lines could easily be damaged. In the early days, electric poles were made of wood, even for high-voltage lines that weren’t too powerful. Later, with the development of steel and concrete and technical…

Chapter 321: Grain Stored in the Cellar The children were happily lining up, waiting for the women to measure their heights. This made the younger children, who weren’t yet old enough for school, very envious. Every time they saw their older brothers and sisters receiving new clothes at school, they wished they could grow up quickly and go to school too. Now, many rural families thought that studying too much was useless. Education wasn’t like in later years when there was compulsory education…

Chapter 320: Cotton Clothes Zhou Dazhong got up and opened the door. "Sixteenth Uncle, my mother has already gone back, is there something you need?" Zhou Yimin waved his hand. "Nothing, I thought she and your brother hadn't left yet. I was planning to see them off." He was preparing to head back to the village. The two of them chatted for a few moments, then Zhou Yimin rode his bicycle back to the village. Once he returned, Old Man Wu told him that the quilts had been made, and there was…
