Chapter 31 Why don’t you let me try
"Next week, when they have made arrangements, come over and prepare for the power supply." The captain said in a high voice. He felt that his voice was about to become hoarse, and he didn't know if he would be able to speak tomorrow.
"Okay, here comes someone to help Teacher Xia take these things home." As soon as the captain finished speaking, several people quickly rushed onto the tractor and moved the things down.
Everyone saw that they were all old things and nothing interesting, so they didn’t pay too much attention to them. Instead, they continued to pay attention to the tractors. The brand new tractors were free of charge and were really the only ones in the entire commune!
Tractors from other production teams cost thousands of dollars to buy!
The captain said to Aunt Lin, "Mom, go home and make lunch. The officer of the agricultural technology station will have lunch at home."
"Okay, I'll go home and cook." Aunt Lin was also very happy. Xia Chan really had a long face this time. Who in the village dared to say anything wrong about her.
Her man went to the commune yesterday and didn't come back all night. He didn't expect to bring her such a big surprise. Their production team had a tractor, which would make everything easier in the future.
"The time of the officers at the Agricultural Technology Station is limited, so now I select a few young people with nimble hands and feet to come and learn to drive a tractor." The captain called a few young people out and warned, "You guys learn to drive tractors from the officers, and you also When it comes to simple maintenance, whoever learns the best will be the tractor driver of the production team.”
The few young people who were called out were all excited and eager to try, hoping to bring honor to their family.
When everyone moved the old furniture bought by Xia Chan to the yard, Xia Bin was weaving cattail mats in the yard. There were also several wooden barrels and basins under the eaves. It seemed that Grandpa Wang had sent all the things Xia Chan ordered. .
"Thank you, come in and have a glass of water!" Seeing everyone put down their things, Xia Chan hurriedly put down her backpack and went into the house to pour them water.
"Teacher Xia, no need, we are in a hurry to go down and see the tractor!" The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his face and said with a simple face.
Xia Chan knew that they were anxious, so she didn't try to keep them anymore. Instead, each of them stuffed a handful of White Rabbit toffees, "Since uncles don't have time to drink tea, I must keep these candies and take them home to sweeten them for aunt and children." Sweet mouth.”
"This... this is too expensive, and Teacher Xia is not in good health yet, so she needs these things more than them."
"No matter how valuable it is, can it be more valuable than a human being?" Xia Chan smiled, "Since you uncles are anxious to see the tractor, I won't keep you here. Uncles, hurry up and see the tractor!"
Afraid that they would return the White Rabbit toffee to her, Xia Chan quickly issued an eviction order.
The uncles brought the toffee down the mountain, feeling very at ease. Teacher Xia was so generous.
"What tractor?" Xia Bin looked at them and asked in confusion.
"It's what happened with Liu Minmin last time. The commune leader rewarded the village with a tractor. He said that he gave it to the village to thank me. With the words of the commune leader, our family will be able to live a better life in the village in the future. It's better." Xia Chan said happily.
"So that's it!" Xia Bin nodded, "Even without the words of the commune leader, brothers can still make you live a good life. If anyone bullies you, we will fight back. We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either. .”
"Yes." Xia Chan nodded, feeling warm in her heart.
The brothers protected the original owner very well, but they met a scumbag.
Xia Chan and Xia Qi drank a glass of water, rested for a while, and then put away the things they bought and placed them in appropriate places. As for the textbooks she had hidden in her backpack and blocked with things, she also sorted them out and put them in her own storage. Clothes in wooden box. When the complete cat winter comes, she will come to teach her brothers. Now that the weather has not completely cooled down, she can still stock up on more goods like a hamster.
"Where are brothers Pengfei and Pengyuan?" Xia Chan asked curiously after not seeing them since they came back.
"The two of them went to the processing factory to grind rice and wheat, so they don't have to go out when the weather gets cold." The grain distributed in the village is all grains with shells. If you want to eat them, you have to go to the processing factory to process them.
In the past, they ground the shells together, and the resulting food was so dry that it choked your throat. But now that the conditions at home are a little better, the shells can be separated, and the chaff can be used to feed the chickens.
"Did they bring food?" Xia Chan asked.
"Bring it, don't worry about them." Xia Bin replied, everyone is sharing food during this period, and the queue at the processing factory must be very long, so it is natural to bring food and water.
Xia Chan took the wooden basins and barrels that were not used temporarily to the utility room and put them away. Then she went to the kitchen to cook. She cooked sweet potato rice and steamed bacon on top. When the rice soup in the pot boiled, she poured the egg custard into it. Steam.
Dishes include hot and sour shredded potatoes, fried sweet potato tips with bacon, and fried wild celery with bacon.
These few dishes are enough for four people to eat at noon, and we will cook more dishes in the evening.
After dinner, Xia Chan and Xia Bin went to the grain drying field to see the tractor. After all, Xia Bin had not seen what the new tractor in the village looked like. When they arrived at the grain drying field, they only heard the anxious scolding of the team leader.
"Uncle Captain, what happened here?" Xia Chan stepped forward and asked worriedly.
"The director of the Agricultural Technology Station is going back soon. He doesn't have much time to teach everyone. As a result, everyone hasn't even learned how to drive a tractor. Can I not be anxious?" The team leader was so anxious that his mouth was almost blistering.
No one knows how to drive one, so what’s the point of having a tractor?
It seems that driving on the road is easy, but why is it my turn but I can't even drive the tractor?
Seeing the young man standing in front of the captain with his head bowed deeply, Xia Chan was a little surprised. None of so many people had learned it?
Naturally, Xia Chan couldn't miss this opportunity to change her reputation, so she said seriously, "Uncle Captain, why don't you let me give it a try!"
In her previous life, Xia Chan not only knew how to drive a car, but she could also do simple repairs. She pestered her classmates for a long time before the classmates simply taught her how to deal with common problems in life, so learning to drive a tractor was very important to her. It shouldn't be difficult to say.
"You?" The captain also looked at Xia Chan in surprise, probably thinking that even a man can't learn something, and she, a girl, probably can't learn it!
"Uncle Captain, if I can drive a tractor, then let me learn, okay?" Xia Chan looked at the captain expectantly. When she learns to drive a tractor, she will become the only female tractor in the village. Hands on.
What others want to say and do must be weighed carefully, and the captain will definitely stand by her unconditionally and firmly defend her.
"Okay, then give it a try!" The captain was heartbroken and gave Xia Chan a chance.
