Playing with High-Tech in the 70s

Xia Youyou, from the year 2220, drank a bottle of water given by her parents, causing her soul to leave her body and enter a four-dimensional space. She was then caught by the river of time and ine...

Chapter 415 Operating the Machine

It was not only Li Dabao and his companions who came here for the first time, but also Zi Bo's eight boys.

The factory was not in operation because Cao An's wedding had been postponed to the tenth day of the first lunar month, so there were not many people in the factory at that time.

Some people came from their hometowns in advance, while some did not go back to celebrate the New Year.

Everyone spontaneously kept the factory in good order, and there was not a single messy tool to be seen.

Apart from some oil stains in the factory, there were no towels or rags scattered on the ground.

There are scattered clothes hanging out to dry in the corridor of the dormitory building, making it easy to tell which household lives there.

Cao An led them around the factory, stopping and introducing the factory. When they met workers, they would greet him, and he would nod and smile in response.

Li Dabao touched the machine parked in the corner with envy on his face.

"Brother Cao, how do you operate this thing?" He was itching to try it out and wanted to try it out together!

Cao An patted his shoulder, stepped into the cabin, opened the door, and motioned him to come up.

"Come, I'll teach you how to drive. It's very simple."

Li Dabao hesitated, "This... I don't want to break it!"

"This is a lump of iron. Your body can't even break me. What are you thinking about?" Cao An's muscles were sore from being beaten by them, but he still teased stubbornly.

"Hehe..." Li Dabao lifted his legs, stepped over and sat in the cabin.

The others gathered around and watched Cao An teach him.

"The key will start the car, right? It works the same way as a car."

The Public Security Bureau is equipped with three-wheeled motorcycles. Even though the Baoshi Police Station did not have one before, after Cao An left, some people began to get restless, and the idle motorcycle was put into use again.

Li Dabao turned the key and the roar of the machine suddenly sounded.

I couldn't help but sigh again in my heart, the sound of this engine is so beautiful!

It's so much better than that hand-cranked tractor engine!

Cao An didn't know what he was thinking, and if he knew, he would have sneered at him.

Although this engine is not as good as the more advanced engines of later generations, it is far superior to the current ones.

"This is the joystick. Use this to move forward and backward, and this to move left and right."

"This one is for retracting the arm, and this one is for retracting the forearm."

"This is to lift the bucket, and going back is to collect the bucket."

Cao An explained while operating the machine, and the large machine started to move.

"This rotating cabin."

"Wow!!!!"

Zi Bo and his companions watched the excavator turn around in place, and its long arm slid over their heads, and they exclaimed in surprise.

Li Dabao became more and more excited. Following Cao An's instruction, he operated the excavator towards an open space in the distance.

Others followed behind the massive machine.

Xiao Hai ran to another bulldozer, opened the hatch and sat in. He started the machine and was about to catch up when he saw Uncle Zi following behind him.

"Brother Xiao Hai, take me upstairs to have a look!"

His voice was in the process of changing, and his classmates had laughed at his duck voice countless times, so he seldom spoke.

Today I was really curious about these things and plucked up the courage to make a request.

Xiao Hai laughed, opened the hatch, and stretched out his hand, "Come."

Uncle Zi excitedly held his hand, and with a push from Xiao Hai, he flew into the air and stood in the cockpit.

He looked at the various operating levers with curiosity, and while he was still in a daze, Xiao Hai pulled him to sit on his lap.

Uncle Zi blushed and wanted to get down awkwardly.

"Don't move. There's no place to sit in here. Just sit on my lap and I'll teach you how to drive."

"Really?" Uncle Zi was in disbelief and wanted to jump up in excitement.

Xiao Hai raised his eyebrows but didn't answer. He started the engine directly, looked through the glass window and rearview mirror to make sure there was no one around before starting.

Cao An and Xiao Hai have both been taught here, and Zi Zhong also asked Qi Siling to teach him.

Qi Siling readily agreed and took Zi Bo and Zi Zhong to another excavator with a slightly more spacious cockpit.

Others can only watch.

They quickly caught up with the excavator in front. Li Dabao was directed by Cao An to dig up a pile of waste soil. Xiao Hai drove over, pushed away the soil that the bucket had dumped to the side, turned a corner, and pushed it back onto the waste soil.

This is where they usually teach. They teach people how to use the machines when they come to buy them.

In Xia Youyou's words, this is called a full service.

Xiao Hai grabbed Uncle Zi's hand and put it on the operating lever, then let him go.

"Come on, try it, lift and push the bucket."

"Put the push bucket."

"go ahead."

Uncle Zi was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw the heavy machine moving obediently along with his operating lever, he became bolder.

The operation became smoother and smoother, and he drove around in front of Zi Bo and the others.

This made the guys who didn't get a seat scream in anger.

Uncle Zi was still young after all, so Xiao Hai didn't let him operate it alone. After he had enough fun, he took the other kids to have fun too.

They forgot about time while playing, and only got on their bikes and went home when it got dark.

The seven adults each had a bicycle, and each took a child on the back seat. The remaining youngest, Zimo, sat on the front bar of Cao An.

They came in a mighty force and went back in a mighty force.

When she got home, Liu Hui almost beat someone up again!

Because his friends were there, he had to hold back his anger and go to the kitchen to heat up food for them.

The factory will start work tomorrow. Cao An is newly married and plans to take a few more days off. Xiao Hai will go back there to organize the start of work.

After dinner, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Cao An missed his wife very much, but since his good friend rarely came to the capital and asked to visit the factory, he still had to accompany him.

So when I returned to the room and saw Naru reading a book, I felt a little guilty.

"Why are you still reading so late? Be careful not to damage your eyes." He walked behind his wife and gently hugged her in his arms.

Na Ru knew he came in, but she was still not used to being alone in a room with him, so she could only pretend not to know.

Cao An rested his chin on her shoulder, which made her breathing a little unstable. He leaned close to her ear and touched her small earlobe with the tip of his nose.

"Wife, I'm sorry for ignoring you today."

Naru flinched, her ears a little sensitive. "No...it's okay."

Cao An noticed it and rubbed it again.

"Don't..." Na Ru trembled and turned away from him.

This gave Cao An the opportunity. He looked at his wife's rosy and tender face and turned his head to kiss her pink lips.

“Hmm…”

Na Ru raised her hand and pushed his face, "I have..."

"I have something to tell you." She finally found the opportunity. It would be fine if she wasn't there during the day, but why didn't she get to talk when she came back at night!

Cao An's eyes were full of lust. He held the person in his arms and sat down. "Come on, I'll give you a chance. What's more important than our kiss?"

Na Ru leaned in his arms and hit his chest with her hand when she heard what he said.

Cao An grabbed her and asked, "Does your hand hurt?"

His body is hard, be careful not to hurt his fair and tender skin.

Na Ru couldn't stand it at all. She bit her lip and looked at him angrily without answering.

"Hehe, go ahead and say it. I won't bother you anymore." Cao An knew the situation and knew that his young wife really had something to say.
