In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen basically stayed at home.
Only when I am bored will I go to places like the pig farm and chicken farm in the village.
Sometimes, he would also play with the tractor in the pig farm.
Because of the improvement of his mechanical manufacturing skills, it is no longer difficult for him to repair the tractor.
At his level, many parts can be produced with only a file and some basic tools, and the accuracy is quite high.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen busy in the warehouse every day, Li Lei and Chen Guowei would come over from time to time.
When they saw that this old tractor looked the same every day, and it looked like it was about to be assembled, they were shocked.
Li Lei's eyes widened and he said in disbelief:
"Brother Ziwen, your skills are so amazing! You can actually repair the tractor with these simple tools. It’s so good, it’s amazing!”
Chen Guowei also nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration:
"Yes, Ziwen, I also learned some mechanical knowledge in the agricultural college, but compared with you, it is really far behind. Your skills are almost as good as those of professional mechanics."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said modestly: "It's not as exaggerated as what you said. I just think more and practice more. Practice makes perfect."
As he spoke, he continued the work in hand. Son, his movements are skillful and steady.
Soon, Wu Dagang and the team leader were alarmed by the fact that the tractor was about to be repaired.
They came to the pig farm together and looked at the tractor that was about to be brand new. Their eyes were full of surprise and expectation.
Wu Dagang walked around the tractor, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admired:
"Ziwen, you really solved a big problem for our village! If this tractor is repaired, it will be better in the future." Transportation and farming in the village are very convenient.”
The team leader also nodded repeatedly and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that this tractor can actually be repaired. Ziwen, your ability is amazing!"
"Haha, this thing is still difficult to repair. The difficulty is that the repair time is a bit long," Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Haha, it doesn't matter if it takes a long time. If I had known you had this ability, we would have bought a few more." Wu Dagang looked at Zhou Ziwen, his eyes bright.
When Zhou Ziwen said he wanted to buy back the used tractor, although he didn't object, he wasn't optimistic either.
Just because this was what Zhou Ziwen wanted, and it was also the price of scrap iron, I thought at that time, it would be okay to buy it back, and at worst, I would just sell it as scrap iron.
Unexpectedly, after so many months, Zhou Ziwen would really repair it.
"Haha, this is the first tractor in our village. The surrounding villages, no, even all the production teams in Lushan County, do not have tractors."
"From now on, we The village is so arrogant.”
The captain laughed and was already thinking about how majestic it would be to sit on the tractor.
Although he has ridden on a tractor and even a car.
But this is a tractor in my own village, so the feeling is completely different.
"That's not true. Lao Niu and the others will be jealous to death." Wu Dagang also grinned.
"Haha, Uncle Wu, in a few days, this tractor will probably be repaired, but you have to find a driver who can drive the tractor first."
Zhou Ziwen said on the sidelines that although he can drive a tractor, he has no interest in being a driver for others.
Wu Dagang and the team leader looked at each other, and then the team leader scratched his head and said, "This is a problem. There are really no people in our village who can drive a tractor."
"But it doesn't matter, we You can learn now, Ziwen, you know how to drive a tractor, and you have to teach everyone when the time comes."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "Okay. After the tractor is repaired, I will teach you. But driving a tractor is not an easy task. You have to be patient and careful, and you have to pay attention to safety.”
“Of course, safety comes first.” Wu Dagang. Said, "Ziwen, don't worry, we will select some young, strong and flexible young men to learn, and they will definitely learn it."
Over the next few days, the village began actively searching for suitable candidates to learn to drive tractors. After the news spread, many young people were eager to try it. After all, being a tractor driver was a very enviable job at that time.
After some screening, several young people were finally identified, including Wang Qiang, Liu Yong and Zhao Gang.
They are all active members in the village. They usually work very hard, and they have a large family.
Sometimes, even Wu Dagang and the captain will consider their opinions.
This is how it is in this era. Whoever's family has a larger population and more men will speak tougher words.
This is why everyone has to have more children no matter how poor they are.
While he was busy repairing the tractor, Zhou Ziwen did not forget the translation materials Li Guangwen gave him.
With his translation skills, translating these materials is no different from copying books.
When he sees a foreign language, the corresponding Chinese meaning automatically pops up in his mind, and he can smoothly translate it into precise and smooth Chinese expressions without even thinking too much.
Just using his free time, he translated these materials.
However, in order not to appear so shocking, he did not submit the manuscript too early.
According to his usual speed, it will take at least a week to complete the translation.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly outside. Although the temperature was still very low, it could not resist everyone's enthusiasm.
On this day, most cadres from the village, large and small, came.
Everyone crowded in the warehouse of the pig farm and watched excitedly as Zhou Ziwen was busy beside the tractor.
Several team leaders from the production team surrounded Zhou Ziwen and helped him.
Zhou Ziwen concentrated on the final debugging work, and the movements of his hands were skillful and precise. The team leaders were passing tools and getting parts, and they cooperated very well.
As there were fewer and fewer parts on the ground, everyone’s expressions became more and more excited.
Finally, Zhou Ziwen completed the installation of the last component, stood up, clapped his hands, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Okay, you're done!" Zhou Ziwen said.
The crowd suddenly cheered and applauded thunderously.
Wu Dagang walked forward excitedly, patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder, and said:
"Ziwen, you are really a great hero of our village! This tractor is so beautifully repaired. !”
The captain also said with a smile on his face: “Yes, Ziwen, your skills are really impressive. It will be great to have this tractor in our village.”
"Haha, don't get too excited. I haven't tried it yet to see if there are any problems!"
Zhou Ziwen jumped on the tractor with a smile, sat in the cab, inserted the key skillfully, and started the engine.
The tractor instantly made a low and powerful roar, as if announcing its new life.
“Get out of the way, quickly make a way for Ziwen, don’t block the way.”
Wu Dagang hurriedly pushed through the crowd blocking the way.
Zhou Ziwen gently stepped on the clutch, put it into gear, then slowly released the clutch, and the tractor moved forward slowly.
He drove the tractor out of the warehouse.
In the eight characters of the pig farm, the tractor is driving smoothly, sometimes accelerating, sometimes decelerating, and sometimes turning, showing the good performance of the tractor. (End of this chapter)
