The captain choked on the cigarette: "What? You know how?"
Xu Yin reacted and laughed twice: "In the past, when I went to the city to exchange matchboxes, I often took tractors from other brigades and listened to the master's instructions several times. I used to be lazy, but I learned everything quickly. This doesn't help others.
After driving for a while, the master even praised me."
Xu Yin thought that if the brigade had its own tractor, it would be a good idea for her to become a tractor driver.
The production team leader had little desire for tractors before.
Sometimes during the busy farming period, tractor plowing is indeed much more efficient than buffalo plowing, but this is only enviable.
After all, tractors need to be driven. No one knows how to drive them, so what’s the use of buying one? Is it just for display?
As for sending people to study, there must be a way.
The Seven-Star Brigade has no options and no money. Just buying a tractor has almost wiped out all the savings. How can there be money to figure out how to send the juniors of the brigade to a public institution to learn skills from a teacher? How naive!
At this moment, hearing Xu Yin say that she knew how to drive, his mind became active again.
After smoking a cigarette, he raised his foot and crushed the cigarette butt: "Okay! I'll go talk to the secretary. If I really buy it, I will send you to be a tractor driver. Can you handle it?"
"no problem!"
Xu Yin sometimes feels quite sad when she thinks about it:
In the 1980s, when the farm master invited her to be a tractor driver, she was dumbfounded and thought he was joking.
Now, in the 1970s, I actually feel that this is a good idea, and it may become a job that everyone aspires to grab in the future.
Sure enough, the production team leader asked the secretary to discuss the tractor. When the villagers found out, their hearts started to stir.
How majestic it is to drive a tractor! And it’s not for nothing, it’s calculated as work points.
Sitting and driving a tractor can earn 10 work points for a full day's work of a strong young man. Who wouldn't want to fight for this job?
But the key point is that they can't open it, so they have to stop cooking.
The only one who knows how to drive a tractor, Xu Yin, is still concentrating on plowing the fields.
Others drive buffaloes to plow four or five acres of paddy field a day, but she can only pull the plow more than five acres by herself.
The production team leader said to the scorer: "Give Xu Yin 20 work points."
The other young people were extremely envious when they heard this.
"Captain, if we are like her, will we be given more work points?"
"If you can do it, I'll give you a raise."
Everyone jumped to the ground eager to try, but found that they couldn't do it.
How can a human be as strong as an ox? Xu Yin is simply not a human!
The young junior looked at Xu Yin's back as she strode forward, feeling ashamed.
I thought to myself, if you are a girl, please stop being so aggressive. Not only do you take jobs from men, but you also take work points.
20 work points! They had to work early in the morning and in the dark for two days, but this girl earned it in one day.
"Lao San, this is your daughter!" The old farmers all gave Xu Lao San a thumbs up.
Xu Laosan scratched his head and laughed: "This girl, I don't know when she got such strength. Neither my mother nor I know."
"I guess it's because the girl is thin-skinned and feels that she is as strong as a man. If word spreads about it, it won't be heard, so you don't want to talk about it?" The women gathered around Chen Huilan to praise Xu Yin.
"But no, my girl is the same. I compliment her on how strong she is, but she still won't be happy."
"Hui Lan, is your mother-in-law Yin Yin Xu's family?" Seeing Xu Yin working so hard, Aunt Li, who lives at the end of the village, was moved.
"Say, Navy girl, are you out of date with the news? I didn't hear that the third child had already spread the news, saying that Yin girl is not marrying and is looking for a wife! Are you willing to let your navy be your son-in-law?"
When Aunt Li heard that her son-in-law came to visit her, she waved her hands quickly: "That can't be done! We only have a son from the Navy, so how could we let him barge in on us?"
Even families with two or three sons would give up their thoughts at the mere mention of knocking on the door.
"Huilan, actually, if you find someone from the same village, it doesn't matter if you don't come to her! Are you and the third child really determined to find a son-in-law for Yinyin?"
"That's right! It's like how close we are! We're only a few steps away. If you have something to do, it's easy to take care of it. Isn't it just like your own son? You and the third child should discuss it. Don't be sure of death. If Yinyin gets married, I will give it to us.
Lei Zi is the first to sign up!" Chen Leiniang took the opportunity to encourage Chen Huilan.
She is really optimistic about Xu Yin. Such a strong girl is so capable! 10 work points a day and 20 work points during busy farming. One person can do the work of two or three strong laborers. Anyway, it is a daughter-in-law. It is very cost-effective to marry someone like Xu Yin.
ah!
"Then I'll sign up my youngest son too!"
"I'll sign up my eldest grandson!"
"And I……"
Chen Huilan: "..."
Has her family become a popular place?
Are you afraid that you have forgotten? Half a year ago, I criticized my daughter for being lazy in front of my mother. What kind of 16 or 17-year-old girl doesn't work in the fields and hides at home to make matchboxes? Talking about work like matchboxes,
Working for Mrs. Xu is not bad. She is a 16 or 17-year-old girl. She is really lazy to do such an easy job. She is so lazy. Let’s see how she finds her husband’s family in the future...
What I said half a year ago is still fresh in my mind, but you have forgotten it so quickly?
Chen Huilan secretly sneered and said: "My youngest said that of our three daughters, the eldest daughter is already married and the younger daughter is still young. It's hard to say what will happen to her in the future, so I want to recruit a son-in-law for Yinyin.
Yin Yin agrees with this herself, so she won't change it. If you are willing, just find a day to come to our house to discuss it in detail. If you don't want to, forget it."
The women choked, wondering who would be willing to let their son into the marriage! Unless they were orphans without parents, there was no such family in the Qixing Brigade.
"Huilan, do you want your Yinyin to be an old girl? Do you think she is capable and can earn a lot of work points for your family, so you don't want to let her go?"
"This is not okay, Huilan, how can you be parents like you..."
"Whatever you say! Anyway, the matter has been decided!"
Chen Huilan stopped talking to them and concentrated on her own work.
I feel very clear in my heart: How can these talkative women really consider Yin Yin and worry about her becoming an old girl? They don’t want Yin Yin to marry into their family and work as a cow and horse to earn work points for them! What a beautiful idea!
After the double grab, Xu Yin became a celebrity in the Seven Star Team.
When it comes to her, who doesn't give a thumbs up?
One person is responsible for two, not to mention three strong laborers. After completing her heavy physical work, she also rushes to winnow the millet, dry the millet, and harvest the millet before it rains. She really carries forward the spirit of screws - where is the need?
Where to go.
The production team leader and the secretary discussed that this year's model worker quota for the Seven-Star Brigade would be given to Xu Yin.
"Does everyone have any objections?"
Before the grain distribution, the branch secretary said a few words and mentioned the recommendation of model workers.
Most people said they had no objection. Xu Yin's performance was obvious to all.
But there are also some women who thought that it was their man's turn to be a model worker this year, but Xu Yin cut off her beard, so it's strange that she was so happy.
