60s researcher

Seeing Lu's father leave, Lu Jian thought about it and walked towards the place where his brothers were working.When he passed by, the three brothers-in-law and two sisters were cutting rice, and there was already a lot of rice piled up behind them. The fourth brother and the big brother tied the rice with rice straws and moved them to the middle of the wide ridge to pile them up. Wait for this They have to be transported to the sun-drying field, and the rice grains are pressed out with primitive threshers, and then dried in the sun. These processes are laborious and long.

They are all people who have done farm work and are much more efficient than those educated youths.Even the two little girls moved quickly, and a piece of rice was poured behind them in an instant. Lu Jian thought for a while and wanted to walk to his fourth brother's side.

"Fourth brother, let me help you tie the rice. I think it's hard to cut the rice, so I can help you tie the rice."

The fourth son Lu Jianliang's eyes lit up when he heard this.But in a blink of an eye, I thought that if my mother came over later, she would definitely explode again when she saw that she let the fifth brother work, so she was still a little worried.

"No, fifth brother, when mother comes over later, she will beat me for sure."

"It's okay, I'll just bundle the rice and don't do any heavy work, mother won't say anything." Judging by his appearance, he definitely wanted to help himself, but he was just worried about being blamed by his mother.

"That's fine, that's fine, don't do it when your mother comes soon, and count the centimeters in the afternoon." He nodded quickly, as if he was afraid that his fifth younger brother would regret it later, and someone would help bind the rice. It can save a lot of time, maybe it can catch up with the speed of the eldest brother and the others to cut rice.

While talking, the hall brother also came over, and was a little surprised to see Lu Jian tying rice there.

"Why are you here? I don't need your help here. You should go and rest for a while."

"I do the easiest job. If I have to rest now, then I can't do anything. Besides, the scorekeeper only starts to record centimeters in the afternoon. I'll help you here." See Lu A little embarrassed smiled, although he said he was helping, but in fact he was only doing some very simple tasks.

"All right, all right. But if you're tired, go to rest." Lu Jianhe didn't object after hearing his answer, and went to the side with two bundles of rice in each hand.The field they allocated is a little far from the place where the rice is placed in the middle in the west.Even if there are tractors here, they can't get in, and the ridges are so narrow that only one person can pass through.In this way, Lu Jian did the work of tying rice all morning.When the sun was hanging in the sky and it was close to 1 o'clock, people came to deliver food one after another.

When Mother Lu came, she saw her youngest son tying rice there at a glance, and immediately felt a little distressed.When did his youngest son do farm work, and now he has been admitted as a technician in the city with a promising future, how can he do this kind of work.

"Little Lu, why are you starting to work, just let your brother and the others do it. Fourth..." Seeing that his mother was about to call fourth brother, he hurriedly interrupted.

"Mom, I just bundled rice and didn't do much work all morning. I'm fine. I'm not tired at all." After speaking, he got up, patted his clothes and showed a big smile to his mother.

When Mother Lu saw everyone gathered around, she didn't say anything about it, but was very emotional.

"Look at how kind my little five is to you brothers and sisters-in-law. I will go to work in the machinery factory soon, and I will pay you every month to go home, and now I will help you in the fields. You must treat him better in the future Otherwise, I can't spare you." The words were full of pride and complacency, and Lu Jianwen said that he put his hand on the Lord's forehead helplessly, and he didn't know what to say if there was such a mother who gave him a halo all over her body.The others nodded obediently.You're used to it anyway, so you shouldn't be angry with her.

"Okay, let's all go eat. I put the food under the big tree over there. Your father is already there." After she finished speaking, she took Lu Jian's hand and walked over immediately.Everyone else followed, and the eldest brother was called away by the second aunt. When the group arrived, Lu's father was already waiting there, sitting on a small horse, and there were a few others beside him, all brought by them in the morning. out of the house.The fourth child took the lead in uncovering the cloth on the basket brought by Lu's mother, which contained rice, a large bowl of fried cabbage with oil residue, a scrambled egg with leeks, and a few steamed sweet potatoes. It still looked very rich.In fact, everyone usually eats very thin food. There are sweet potatoes and various wild vegetables mixed in the rice, so it is only a few days before they can be eaten dry.

They didn't speak, and time was running short. Everyone prepared their own meals and started eating on the small bench.I heard from an experienced farmer in the village that there will definitely be rain in a week. They have to dry the rice in the past few days and send it to the grain station. Otherwise, the grain will become moldy when it rains, and the grain station will not accept it. The grain station does not accept either.It is not easy for farmers at this time.Soon the group finished eating and continued to work, only Lu's father, Lu's mother, and Lu Jian were left. Lu Jian wanted to leave at first, but was held back by Lu's mother.

"Xiaolu, continue to rest for a while."

Lu's father didn't make a sound when he heard the words. Lu Jian remembered what he said in the morning and asked, "Father, didn't you say to borrow a tractor this morning? What happened?"

"Don't mention this, two of the three tractors in the commune broke down, and the technician couldn't fix it, and one was borrowed by the team next door, really, alas!" He sighed deeply after speaking.Without a tractor, a lot of manpower will be wasted to carry.

"Are there two broken ones? I can fix them. Anyway, I have become a technician in a machinery factory now, and my skills are still good. A small tractor can still be repaired." Lu Jianwen said with eyes It's bright, this is a good job. Like their commune, there are not a few people with tractors.

And those are tractor operators and maintenance personnel, the maintenance skills are really not very good, and they have no theoretical knowledge at all.In this day and age, the commune can sometimes decide a lot of things. If he can become a tractor maintainer in their nearby commune, help the commune repair tractors, and build a good relationship with the commune, although he doesn’t expect any benefits from this relationship, but in the future You can help your family with a layer of protection.And after news of his tractor repair got out, people from other communes might come to him.

"You can really repair tractors." Father Lu's eyes lit up when he heard his words, and his heart was full of surprise.For their rural areas, tractors are a powerful tool for farming.So many things were moved away at once.It can save a lot of effort, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming for manual handling.If his son can repair the tractor, their brigade will have more confidence in going to the commune to borrow things.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up, "Let's go to the commune to have a look now, and if it can be repaired, we will drive the machine back immediately." After speaking, he stood up and took Lu Jian's hand to prepare to leave.

"Well, I still have to record work points here, you have to arrange someone to take over my job first." Lu Jian was a little bit dumbfounded, when did he see the old man so excited.

"I'll ask your cousin to memorize it for you. Anyway, he helped me to memorize it before." After speaking, he asked Lu Jian to wait here. He took the score book and ran to the field to face his cousin who was busy in the field. He shouted, and when he had finished giving orders to the other party, he turned around and came back.

"Hurry up, let's go to the commune now." Zai Jian's hand walked towards the commune.

Lu Jian could only follow his instructions and walk quickly behind him.The commune was about a 40-minute walk from their brigade. When they arrived, Secretary Zheng of the commune was reading a newspaper in his office. Captain Lu went in without knocking on the door. When Secretary Zheng saw him, he held his forehead with a headache.

"Didn't I already tell you that three tractors in the commune are broken, and two and one have already been lent out, and now there is really nothing to lend to you." Secretary Zheng was also scared by him in the morning, and has been lingering here Mo, you can't say anything about him, he is also a legitimate request.

"Hey, I'm not here to make trouble for you now. You see, this is my son Lu Jian. He can repair tractors." Captain Lu smiled very proudly, pulled Lu Jian out from behind him and pushed him into the In front of Secretary Zheng.

Secretary Zheng looked at Lu Jian in surprise when he heard this, and then turned his gaze back to Captain Lu's face. "What you said is true, but don't joke with me. Our technicians here have been repairing for two days, but they haven't done anything well. Let us go to the city to find a technician, but the city replied to us that there is no such thing now. Nobody has time for our place."

For this tractor thing.Secretary Zheng himself was helpless.After all, it is the time of summer harvest, and tractors are very important.All the brigades wanted to borrow tractors to go back, but two of them broke down at once, and they couldn't be repaired. Isn't this a big mess.

"Of course my son is a high school graduate and has read a lot of books, and he went to take the exam at the machinery factory in the city yesterday and successfully became a technician. He will report the day after tomorrow." Seeing that Secretary Zheng was a little suspicious, Captain Lu Hurry up and tell about his son's great achievements.

"Your son is really amazing. He actually went to the machinery factory in the city. No one in our entire commune has been admitted." Hearing this, Secretary Zheng's face was full of surprise.In his opinion, being able to go to work in the machinery factory in the city and still be a technician must be much better than the so-called technicians here.

"Okay, don't talk about it, okay, just go and find out, anyway, you can't repair these tractors well, so let my son try it." Captain Lu was not polite, he was still waiting to pull The tractor is back in the brigade.

"All right, all right, let's go now." After speaking, he stood up and led the two of them to the tractor park in front of the commune, where two tractors were placed side by side.The two tractors are very old and covered with mottle.

"These two tractors, one broke down the day before yesterday, and the other broke down five days ago. They were both on and turned off suddenly. Our technicians have been searching for several days but have not found the problem, and there is nothing they can do. .” After speaking, he stared at Lu Jian expectantly.
