Great Power Army Reclamation
Chapter 387 Walk-behind Tractor
The car mentioned here is the kind of unicycle. I remember there was a movie called "The Rolling Wheel". During the War of Liberation, countless ordinary people pushed carts and gave them to the People's Liberation Army. The price of a cart was ten cents, which sounds like a small amount, but any strong man could push a hundred and eighty carts a day, so that he could earn ten yuan a day. Money. Ten yuan went a long way in rural areas at that time!
After Ye Yuze finished saying these words, he went to Luzhuang. He couldn't ignore his aunt, but he had to think about how to control her.
As the saying goes, he can support the aunt but not the poor, but it is the uncle's task to support their family. Otherwise, why would this man be needed? Just bring the aunt and the child back.
When I arrived at my aunt's house, I saw Wang Ya again before I even entered. The little girl was sitting under the peach tree to enjoy the shade when she saw Ye Yuze sneaking into the yard. It seemed that she was frightened by Ye Yuze yesterday.
Because it was a holiday, my aunt didn't go to school, and my uncle was sleeping on the kang. When my aunt saw Ye Yuze coming, hurry up and wake him up. My uncle's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu An. He looks very talented and can write well, but this is of little use in the countryside.
"Uncle, what will you do?" Ye Yuze went straight to the point. This person obviously doesn't like working in the fields, otherwise he would have been weeding in the fields by this time. Since the wheat production failed and became a joke in the village, it is obvious that this guy has become a bit of a self-exile.
The uncle was obviously stunned by Ye Yuze's question and didn't know how to answer? But after thinking about his strengths, he finally said it: "I can do accounting and drive a tractor."
This sentence made Ye Yuze's eyes light up. In this era, farming in rural areas still relied on manpower. Several of the animals in the team were bought by people from wealthy families after the land was divided. Considering that plowing and sowing are all done by people, Ye Yuze would definitely not do this.
"Uncle, do you have a walking tractor here?" Suddenly I remembered the walking tractor that my uncle used when planting rice fields. Unlike northern Xinjiang, the land area of each family is small and not concentrated. It's not suitable for large-scale agricultural machinery, but is this a small tractor okay?
My uncle nodded. As an accountant, he knew more about some things than ordinary members. "Agricultural machinery companies in the county sell them, but they are so expensive. Does one cost more than a thousand?"
"If I buy this kind of tractor, what else can I do besides farming?" This Ye Yuze is just testing his uncle's IQ to see if this guy can help? If he buys a tractor and just drives it for a few days while farming, and usually sleeps at home, then it doesn't make much sense.
When my uncle heard this topic, he immediately became excited and beamed: "Farming in rural areas is too tiring. After plowing my own land in this spring and autumn, can I still help other people's land?
The person who collects the money is also willing. I can also help others pull things, and when I have nothing to do, I go to the brick factory. There are basically no tractors in the brick factory. They are all pulled by horse-drawn ox carts. Not to mention the walking speed, they can't pull much. If they have a tractor working for them, they can earn dozens of dollars a day. "
Ye Yuze nodded secretly. His uncle was indeed more knowledgeable than his uncle. No wonder my aunt fell in love with him in the first place. Although he was a bit lazy, as long as he saw money, such a person would be more diligent than anyone else.
"Uncle, do you know anyone in the brick factory?" Ye Yuze saw his excitement and asked casually.
My uncle grinned proudly: "I introduced Lu Shuang in our team to go to the commune brick factory to haul bricks. The directors of the two brick factories in our commune have a good relationship with me."
Ye Yuze stood up directly: "Uncle, let's go to the county and see if the agricultural machinery company has it in stock. I want to buy one for my grandma's family."
I thought he would shirk it. After all, no one wants to run to the county on a hot day, a distance of more than ten kilometers. Unexpectedly, my uncle pulled up his shoes and walked out without saying a word. He was extremely enthusiastic about these things.
There is a bicycle at my uncle's house, which my aunt brought when I got married. My uncle carried Ye Yuze to the county, pedaling the car very fast along the way. When we arrived at the agricultural machinery company, there were actually several walking tractors in the yard.
After asking, I found out that these tractors were Dongfanghong tractors, with eight horsepower and twelve horsepower. There is also a 25-horsepower version, but it is not in stock now. The eight-horsepower model is about 1,500, and the 12-horsepower model is almost 2,000.
Ye Yuze thought for a moment and asked for two units, one with eight horsepower and one with twelve horsepower. He was preparing to reduce his losses. If his uncle didn't do a good job, it would be better to throw away one thousand and five thousand than two thousand.
My uncle watched in stunned silence as Ye Yuze handed over the money to pick up the car. My brain is almost useless. Ye Yuze thought for a while and asked for two more barrels of oil and some farm tools carried by the tractor, and loaded them directly into the carriage. Then Ye Yuze became worried.
My uncle could drive one away, but he couldn't drive it. This thing is different from the steering wheel, the accelerator and clutch are on the handle. Fortunately, someone could give them to them, so Ye Yuze simply asked someone to take them back to the village without even letting his uncle let him drive.
As soon as the two tractors entered the village, they immediately attracted onlookers. In fact, there used to be a big tractor in the village, but it was later abandoned. It was a waste of fuel and no one could afford it.
Entering the house with his uncle, Ye Yuze asked his aunt to find some paper and pen, and said to his uncle seriously: "This money is from grandma, so you must pay her back after you earn the money. Now you have to make an IOU for three years." It must be paid back within the next few days.”
This is really not Ye Yuze's stinginess, and the promotion of fame and the enmity of rice. Don't let people get things too easily, otherwise it will easily make them lose their ambition.
When my uncle heard that this tractor was bought for him? Not to mention one IOU, he would type ten of them! Immediately, with a stroke of the pen, the strong and elegant fonts appeared on the paper. Ye Yuze couldn't help but praise, his uncle's font is really amazing. It's a pity that the times are wrong.
As an old accountant, Ye Yuze naturally didn't have to worry about the content of the IOU. My uncle is much more professional than him. With the IOU in hand, Ye Yuze asked his uncle to drive the twelve-horsepower car back to Mengzhuang.
Ye Yuze wasn't worried that no one at home would know how to drive it. His uncle had learned about it in high school in the past two years. He can do simple repairs. The tractor drove all the way into the yard. This was Ye Yuze's original wisdom.
Doors in this era are generally not big. Not to mention tractors, donkey carts can't get in. When he first built his house, Ye Yuze insisted on a two-and-a-half-meter-long gate. There was also a small door on top of the main door. You could just open the small door when entering.
The old man and the uncle also love the tractor. Ye Yuze told them to follow their uncle for transportation in the future. The reason why the brothers bought one was so that they could do things together.
