Chapter 349 Tractor
Chapter 349 Tractor
When we gathered for work in the morning, it was Secretary Xu who spoke on the platform for the first time.
The villagers were inevitably curious, and the bravest ones shouted to Secretary Xu, "Secretary, where is the team leader?
How come you were the one giving a speech on the stage today, and I didn’t see the captain? "
Secretary Xu was in a particularly good mood today and was in the mood to joke with the villagers.
"Why, only the captain can manage you, but I, the secretary, can't manage you."
"How could that be, we are just curious.
Our team leader would never leave the front line even if he was slightly injured. Even if he was sick, he would always go to work in the morning without missing a beat.
Why didn't you come today? Are you sick? Or is it a serious illness?"
Aunt Sufen in the audience was annoyed. Why was she cursing her head of the family for no reason?
"You are sick, and you are seriously ill. You are talking nonsense."
Secretary Xu pointed at the man who said the captain was sick and said, "You are the one who talked nonsense. Look how you pissed off your captain's wife."
Secretary Xu had no intention of hiding it from the villagers. Seeing that everyone had asked about it, he answered,
"The people our production team sent to learn how to drive tractors yesterday did not take the test.
They studied hard, and three of them passed the test and got their tractor driver's licenses.
Our production team got three tractor drivers at once."
"Your team leader led people and money to buy a tractor early in the morning."
The villagers on the drying dam suddenly became excited.
"Secretary Xu, did the captain really go to buy a tractor?"
“I can still lie about this kind of thing.
They will be back in the morning, and you can see the tractors when you get back from work at noon."
"That's great! Our village finally has a tractor."
"In the future, we can also go to town by tractor instead of bullock cart."
"You wish. Tractors are used for production, not for carrying people."
"That's right. Tractors need to burn that oil. I heard it's expensive. You need a ticket to buy it. We can't waste it casually."
"Oh, don't be so stingy.
If the tractor needs to go to the town or the commune to do some business, it would be okay for us to take a ride along the way."
The villagers started arguing over whether they could ride a tractor to the commune and town.
Secretary Xu on the stage saw that everyone had strayed from the topic and quickly said, "Okay, let's stop arguing about these trivial things.
Go to work in the fields quickly.
Don’t wait until the tractor comes back and you are unable to leave work because your work is not finished, or you will miss the chance to see the tractor.”
"Team leaders, lead your team members to work in the fields."
The villagers went to the fields and searched among the crowd for the people who went to learn how to drive a tractor, and successfully found Zhou Wenbing and Li Changgui.
Some villagers greeted Zhou Wenbing enthusiastically.
"Zhou Zhiqing, did you get that certificate?"
"I got it," Zhou Wenbing answered somewhat embarrassedly.
"Zhou Zhiqing, you are amazing."
The villagers praised Zhou Wenbing generously.
Fang Dong on the side curled his lips, "That's not impressive at all.
If you ask me to go, I can pass the exam.
What are you so proud of? "
Tang Qiangjun, who was standing next to him, heard what he said and silently moved aside.
Today, everyone in the fields was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they were working at full speed.
Even those who usually like to take their time speeded up.
I guess he wanted to finish his work quickly and go see the tractor.
However, these people did not include the educated youth in the educated youth sites. They had seen tractors many times in the city and were not surprised at all.
Liu Jingxue was still working at her own pace.
Of course, her spiritual awareness was still released, covering the entire production team.
At around ten-thirty in the morning, on the road leading to the Red Star Production Brigade, a rumbling and speeding tractor appeared in Liu Jingxue's consciousness.
The driver was the captain's second son, Zhang Jianguo.
The team leader and Xu Shengli were sitting in the back of the truck with smiles on their faces, talking loudly.
"Shengli, you were driving the tractor just now, how did it feel?"
"After all, it's a new car, so it drives smoother than the tractor at the farm."
"Of course, otherwise why would we buy a new car? We can just buy an old one.
It can also save a lot of money.”
"Uncle Zhang, when can our production team buy a second tractor?"
"You kid, you just got the first one and you want to buy a second one."
Xu Shengli was not polite at all, "This is a good thing, the more the better."
“In the next one or two years, I’m afraid the commune will not give our production team any quota for tractors.
I have to wait and see if I can apply for a second one.”
"Hurry up and save money first, otherwise you will become a joke if you don't have money to buy the quota when you get it."
The roaring sound had already spread inside the village before the tractor entered.
A group of children who liked to run around in the village heard the sound and ran towards the village entrance in unison.
After all, they also heard about the captain and his men going to buy a tractor.
They also wanted to see the tractor, otherwise they would not have deliberately chosen to play near the village entrance today.
The children became excited when they saw the tractor driving into the village and the team leader standing halfway in the tractor.
"Captain Grandpa, Captain Grandpa, we want to ride on the tractor too."
"Captain, please let us take the tractor for a spin."
The children began to beg.
Before entering the village, Zhang Jianguo slowed down the tractor, so the team leader could hear the children's conversation clearly.
"Jianguo, stop the car and let these rascals get in.
You take them for a drive around the village and park the car at the drying dam.
In the afternoon, you and Shengli will call a few people to build a simple shed at the drying dam to store tractors." The captain ordered.
"Got it, Dad."
The captain jumped out of the car and walked back to the brigade headquarters.
With the help of Xu Shengli, the children climbed onto the truck one by one.
"Sit tight, little piglets, I'm going to drive." After the children got in the car, Zhang Jianguo reminded them and started the tractor again.
The tractor started moving again and the children on the tractor were extremely excited.
"I rode a tractor. I am the first one in my family to ride a tractor."
“I am also the first in my family to ride a tractor.”
"I am not only the first person in my family to ride a tractor, I will also be the first person in my family to drive a tractor."
"When I grow up, I want to be a tractor driver, earn more work points, make more money, and marry a wife."
The children started talking one after another.
Xu Shengli, who was watching the children in the back of the truck and preventing them from doing anything wrong, couldn't help laughing when he heard the children's childish talk.
Standing on the tractor, the children shouted when they saw the villagers working in the fields in the distance.
"Our production team now has a tractor."
“The tractor has been bought.”
With so many kids shouting, the power of the shouting is unquestionable.
Villagers who were working a little closer to the village heard the children's cries.
The villagers who heard the voice straightened up and said, "The tractor has been bought back."
"It seems so. That's what the children are shouting."
"Oh, you bought it so early. I haven't finished my work yet."
“We’re not the same.
I don’t know what it feels like to ride a tractor.”
The villagers forgot about their work for a moment and all stood up and looked towards the village, hoping that they could see the tractor.
The team leader came over and said, "Okay, even if you stretch your elbows out a few meters, you still can't see the tractor.
Let’s just get to work and finish the work later. It’s up to you to decide what you think.”
Under the urging of the team leader, the villagers buried their heads in their work again. Each of them gathered up their energy and wanted to start work early, finish work early and go see the tractor.
