Chapter 65 Buying a Walking Tractor
Chapter 65 Buying a walk-behind tractor
Now that the economic conditions are getting better, I feel tired of eating bacon all the time.
The three brothers cut a beautiful piece of meat before buying a TV in the county town.
Cooked it tonight.
Make a big bowl of fragrant twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts.
Each person in the family received a size two rice bowl.
Fill the bowl with rice and twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts.
The main movie on the TV started to play.
A familiar song sounded.
"The shoes are broken
Hat is broken
The cassock on the body is torn
…
Wherever there is injustice, there is me.
…
"
Memories of Zhang Jinhai’s childhood suddenly came to mind.
In this era of previous lives.
The Zhang family can't afford a TV at all.
It can only basically keep the family fed.
At that time, the entire production team only had one television set.
If you want to watch this TV show.
We need to make an appointment with brothers Zhao Jin and Zhao Jun.
Ask your family for a coin or a penny note.
Over the mountains and ridges.
When you go to the only house with a TV, you need to pay a coin to get in and watch TV.
People of that era watched TV.
My eyes were glued to the TV.
Not even the ads are missed.
Unlike the Internet later, there were a lot of TV, movies, online articles, short videos and other rich cultural life.
Before there was television in rural areas at that time, the most people could listen to was radio, cassette player and the like.
There are also some paper novels.
For example, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Fengshenbang, Water Margin, and Journey to the West are more common.
Dream of Red Mansions is relatively rare.
Popular martial arts novels.
There are also some manuscript novels that are already badly turned when they reach your hands.
At the critical moment, the handwriting is unclear, and the plot of the story depends entirely on imagination.
Thinking of these past events, Zhang Jinhai's eyes became moist.
Silently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of your eyes.
The whole family watched the program on TV, showing their natural joy.
From this day on, Zhang Jinhai needed to slowly train the Zhang family to learn to watch the news network.
In particular, the four brothers of the Zhang family must always pay attention to the news network.
Because there are many big policy trends here.
Why do some people always seize the opportunity?
A large part of the reason is that they understand the future trend information hidden in the news network.
Why do some people always miss opportunities?
A large part of the reason is that they misunderstood the news they saw and did not study the profound logic inside.
On Sunday, the second, third and fourth brothers of the Zhang family got on their bicycles.
Went to the county seat and took a long-distance bus to Lemei City.
They need to find a point of sale for the tractor.
Lemei City must be a big city for the three brothers who have never been outside the county boundaries.
Only Zhang Jinhai, who had the memory of the future time, stood calmly on the roadside.
Wait for the taxi to arrive.
When Zhang Jinhai stopped the taxi and got into the front seat, the second and third sons were still in a daze.
Zhang Jinhai greeted with a smile: "Come up quickly."
Come on, I guess I don't know how to open the door.
Zhang Jinhai returned to the right side, helped open the car door and said: "Get in the car, we are not familiar with the roads in this city.
It’s more convenient to take a taxi.”
Zhang Jinshan moved his lips, wanting to ask what a taxi was but he was too embarrassed to ask.
In this era, taxis in Lemei City are quite strange, with the steering wheel on the right.
Unlike later cars, the steering wheel is on the left.
Zhang Jinhai chatted with the driver: "Master, do you know where I can buy tractors?"
Driver: “Of course I know.
The economy has developed rapidly in the past two years.
There are many places where tractors are needed.
I have to take customers to buy tractors several times every day."
Zhang Jinshan said with satisfaction: "Then just ask the master to send us to the place where tractors are sold."
Arrive at destination.
Zhang Jinhai paid the taxi fare according to the metered amount.
When the three brothers got off the taxi, Zhang Jincheng complained: "What the hell is this taxi?"
We only sat a few steps away.
It's too expensive to charge that much.
Why didn't he grab it?"
Zhang Jinhai smiled and explained: "Forget it.
In the city, nothing is free of charge.
You have to get used to it slowly.
Don’t bring the desire to spend basically nothing in the countryside to the city.
Otherwise, it will be very tiring.”
Three brothers stepped into a tractor sales store.
When I inquired about it, I found that the types and models of tractors were only the ones commonly seen on the road.
Walk-behind diesel tractor.
Four wheels.
The two wheels at the engine position are smaller.
The two wheels of the truck box are larger.
The price is a fixed price, no bargaining.
2800 yuan per car.
And there is only one place in Lemei City that sells this walk-behind tractor.
There is no choice at all.
Zhang Jinhai discussed with the owner of the tractor sales store how to drive the walk-behind tractor back.
As a result, a market has already formed outside the tractor sales store.
Some tractor operators are waiting outside to make quick money.
After bargaining, I paid 50 yuan.
A driver helped drive the tractor back to Zhang's house.
In places where the road is smooth and there are few cars, you can also teach the second and third children driving skills.
And he also promised to cover the church.
OK, now the problem is completely solved.
This tractor driver is a little man, everyone calls him Master Xiaoxiang.
Master Xiaoxiang first showed the three brothers how to start the tractor.
Master Xiaoxiang took out a brand new rocker stored under the tractor's seat cushion.
Hold a part with your left hand, and insert the rocker into a small hole in the tractor head with your right hand.
Then shake it hard for a few turns.
The tractor started "squeaking".
It also spits out a bunch of black smoke.
Master Xiaoxiang sat in the driving position and asked Lao Zhang Jinshan to sit on his right side and observe carefully.
Zhang Jincheng and Zhang Jinhai naturally sat in the trunk of the car.
After Master Xiaoxiang successfully drove out of the city, he explained while driving.
I ran nearly 20 kilometers all the way.
Zhang Jinshan feels that he has learned it.
Strongly requested to get in the car and try it out.
Master Xiaoxiang knows that these new driving learners are addicted and courageous.
But it doesn’t necessarily mean you actually learn it.
So I specially found a relatively spacious dam on the roadside.
Let Zhang Jincheng and Zhang Jinhai get off the bus.
Turn off the flame.
Let Zhang Jinshan learn from the beginning.
As a result, Zhang Jinshan started the tractor for the first time.
There is obviously a lack of experience.
After the engine ignited successfully, I forgot to take out the rocker in time.
Zhang Jinshan reached out to grab the joystick.
Master Xiaoxiang stopped him loudly and quickly turned off the tractor.
Even if it is handled this way.
Zhang Jinshan's hand was still injured by the joystick and the pain was excruciating.
Constantly waving hands, blowing hands, and calling.
Zhang Jincheng saw that Zhang Jinshan was injured and still asked to learn how to start the tractor.
If you don't learn how to do it, this walk-behind tractor bought for a huge sum of 2,800 yuan will become a decoration.
This time Master Xiaoxiang also became quite serious.
Zhang Jincheng was not directly involved.
Instead, take out the joystick, hold the pressure reducer, and shake the joystick slowly.
He explained the key points of attention to the left and right hands and eyes very clearly.
And I practiced it three times.
Make sure Zhang Jincheng has seen it clearly.
