Chapter 433 Teaching
The next morning, the sun shone on the land of Zhoujiazhuang, bringing a bit of laziness.
After last night's revelry, many young people in Zhoujiazhuang had no intention of working. All they could think about was the majestic tractor.
They gathered in twos and threes, and from time to time they would glance at the tractor parked in the open space in the village, muttering, "It would be great if we could go up and drive it and have some fun!"
Just after breakfast, a few brave young men quietly walked towards the tractor, wondering if they could secretly get on and drive it.
The old Party secretary was patrolling the village and immediately noticed the little tricks of these young men. He frowned and raised his voice to shout, "What are you guys doing? Aren't you going to work today? We are busy with spring plowing. Hurry up and get to the fields!"
The young man was frightened by the shout, and took a last reluctant look at the tractor, then walked towards the farmland with his head hung.
The old branch secretary looked at their backs and shook his head helplessly. He knew in his heart that these young people were curious about new things and that this tractor was too attractive.
But farm work does not wait for anyone, and now is the critical period for spring sowing. If we miss the farming season, this year's harvest will be at stake.
The old party secretary thought that he had to quickly find someone to drive the tractor so that it could truly play a role in the village's production, and at the same time satisfy the curiosity of the young people so that they wouldn't be thinking about it every day and lose their focus on working.
After much thought, he felt that Zhou Yimin was the most suitable candidate. Didn’t they say at the award ceremony last night that the tractor was given to him?
This matter must be discussed with Zhou Yimin. The village’s current progress is closely related to Zhou Yimin, and there is no need to ruin the relationship with Zhou Yimin over a tractor.
The old branch secretary can still clearly distinguish what is important and what is not.
Thinking of this, the old branch secretary quickly walked towards Zhou Yimin's house.
Yimin had just gotten up and was washing up in the yard when he saw the old branch secretary walking towards him in a hurry.
"Yi Min!"
First, I said hello.
Then he got straight to the point: "I see that the young people in the village are obsessed with tractors and have no interest in working.
We can't just leave this tractor here, we have to put it into motion and make some contributions to our village. I wonder if you can drive this tractor?
If you know how, take some time to teach the young people in the village. They have strong learning abilities and will definitely be able to get the hang of it quickly.
You know, if you are the only one in our village who can drive, we will ask you for help in everything in the future, which is not okay, after all, you still have a job in the city and you still have to go to work. "
Zhou Yimin heard this, wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Old Party Secretary, I really know how to drive a tractor, and it's not difficult. Besides, it's a waste to leave the tractor unused. We need to let everyone learn. I will teach them when I have time in the next two days and make sure they can master it as soon as possible."
When the old branch secretary heard this, he smiled and patted Zhou Yimin on the shoulder: "That's good, that's good. I feel relieved when you say that. On behalf of the villagers, I want to say thank you to you!"
Zhou Yimin shook his head: "Old Party Secretary, I am also a member of Zhoujiazhuang. I definitely hope that Zhoujiazhuang will live better and better!"
Moreover, turning Zhoujiazhuang into an iron bucket is also a good thing for himself, so that even if he takes out more things, he will not be afraid of being reported.
If it were in a courtyard, no one would dare to be so unscrupulous, for fear of being reported by someone with jealous eyes. It is not surprising, there are all kinds of people in this world.
Moreover, Zhou Yimin does not have much interest in the people in the courtyard. If others want to report you, they can report you. Anyway, others will not suffer much loss.
But it is not necessarily the case in Zhoujia. Now Zhoujiazhuang is living better and better with my help. If I lose you, it will be difficult for Zhoujiazhuang to continue to develop, so there is no need to worry about the villagers reporting it.
After that, the two discussed the teaching arrangements for a few more sentences and then went about their own business.
Two days later, when farm work in the village slowed down a bit, Zhou Yimin put teaching on the agenda.
Early in the morning, he came to the open space in the village. The tractor was shining brightly in the morning sun, as if it was also looking forward to this special "training".
Soon, the young people in the village gathered in groups of three or four, full of anticipation, with excitement and curiosity in their eyes.
Zhou Dahu rushed to the front and said with a grin, "Uncle Sixteen, I'm finally looking forward to you teaching us how to drive a tractor. I didn't sleep well last night."
Zhou Yimin smiled and invited everyone to gather around and began the first lesson about tractors.
He pointed to the various parts of the tractor and patiently explained: "Look, everyone, this is the front of the tractor, and inside is the engine, which is the 'heart' of the tractor.
It provides power to make it run. This long rod is the gear lever, which is used to change gears and control the speed. And this big round plate is the steering wheel, which is used to control the direction..."
The young man stared at it without blinking, afraid of missing any details, and repeated the name of the parts in a low voice from time to time.
After explaining the components, Zhou Yimin sat in the driver's seat and demonstrated how to start the tractor.
He stepped on the clutch and held the starter crank with his right hand, saying as he operated: "When starting, you have to step on the clutch first so that the power is not transmitted all at once. Then, crank the crank vigorously. When you feel the engine moving, quickly let go and then slowly release the clutch."
As he said this, he shook the tractor violently, and it made a "thump thump" sound and started successfully, which caused cheers from the young people.
When it was the young people's turn to practice, Zhou Dahu was the first to volunteer.
He climbed onto the driver's seat excitedly, but as soon as he sat down, he became a little flustered. His eyes frantically scanned the various parts, completely forgetting Zhou Yimin's explanation just now.
He reached out to grab the gear lever, but accidentally touched the handbrake next to it. The car shook violently, and he turned pale with fright, shouting, "Oh, this is different from what I thought!"
Zhou Yimin quickly steadied the car and consoled him, "Da Hu, don't panic. Just follow what I said. Press the clutch first, find the gear lever, and take your time."
Under Zhou Yimin's guidance, Zhou Dahu finally calmed down and tried again. After several attempts, he finally started the tractor successfully. With a proud smile on his face, he shouted, "I did it! I started the tractor!"
Next came driving practice. Zhou Yimin asked the young man to drive slowly along the open space in the village, while he followed beside him, keeping an eye on the situation and reminding him loudly: "Look far ahead, hold the steering wheel firmly, and don't shake it!"
There was a young man named Zhou Dazhui who became excited while driving. He stepped on the accelerator harder and harder, and the tractor rushed forward like a wild horse, and was about to rush into the vegetable field next to him.
Zhou Yimin rushed forward, grabbed the gear lever, and shouted, "Dazhu, release the accelerator, release it quickly!"
Zhou Dazhu finally came to his senses and slammed on the brakes, stopping the car at the edge of the vegetable field. He patted his chest in fear and said, "Uncle Sixteen, this thing runs too fast. I almost got into big trouble."
Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "So I want you to be steady and not be impatient. You need to practice your driving skills slowly."
After practicing for a while, everyone was a little tired, so they sat on the ground to rest. At this time, someone suggested: "Uncle Sixteen, let's give the tractor a name. It will be a good helper for our village in the future, so it must have a resounding name."
Everyone responded and started discussing it. Some said it was called "Iron Ox", which means it is as strong as an ox.
Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Zhou Yimin suggested: "Harvest", hoping that it could help the village usher in a good harvest.
Finally, everyone voted and decided to name the boat "Harvest", hoping that it could lead Zhoujiazhuang to a prosperous future.
After resting, continue practicing.
This time, Zhou Yimin increased the difficulty and set up some simple obstacles for the young people to practice turning and avoiding.
