Ye Han took out thirty yuan from his pocket and gave it all to Li Erhe, "Uncle Li, this thirty yuan is from me--"
"Daya, what are you doing? I can't take your money," Ye Han's actions scared Li Erhe so much that he took a step back.
"Uncle Li, you're wrong, this money is not for you," Ye Hanhan said with a frown on his face, his voice speechless.
"Oh," Li Erhe patted his chest in fear, "So what do you want to do?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy a tractor?" Ye Han asked, "Our brigade doesn't have enough funds. I have some money, so I can help you get some."
Ye Xuanhan naturally had his own considerations when he took out the thirty yuan.
To be honest, if it weren't for Li Erhe's cooperation this time, she would not have been able to shoot the documentary, nor would she have been featured in the promotional poster.
Ye Hanhan felt that he should donate the remuneration he had received to help Li Erhe solve his problems.
The Huaihua Brigade where she is located is one of the more underdeveloped brigades in the vicinity.
...
...
Other brigades had already started using tractors, but their brigades were still using ox carts and donkey carts to transport food and people.
Because they had no tractors, their team always lagged behind others when it came time to pay grain taxes.
How could an old cow that eats grass possibly compete with a tractor that drinks oil? Over time, this matter became a thorn in Li Erhe's side.
If the brigade had a tractor, it would be much more convenient to transport food or go to the city to buy things.
"Daya," Li Erhe, a grown man, choked up a little, "Thank you for thinking about our team, but Uncle Li can't take the money you earn."
"Uncle Li, listen to me and take it. I know you were often criticized by the county leaders before, saying that our brigade was slow to deliver grain. If we could have a tractor, we would definitely be far ahead of others."
As far as I can remember, the captains of several neighboring brigades often laughed at Li Erhe because of this matter.
They said that the Huaihua Brigade was paying public grain too slowly, and was holding back the commune. If they paid so slowly, they would definitely be too embarrassed to see anyone.
The summer harvest is coming soon, and after the harvest, they have to pay the public grain. If they can buy a tractor to pay the public grain by then, their Huaihua Brigade’s bad reputation of being the slowest in paying public grain will definitely disappear.
In addition, we might even be able to gain the reputation of being an advanced brigade in the commune.
"Daya, this thirty yuan is not enough to buy a tractor," Li Erhe sighed, "The cheapest tractor costs two thousand yuan, and our team can't even afford it."
Hearing the price of the tractor, Ye Han was stunned for a moment, "Uncle Li, can't you allocate some money from the brigade's account?"
Buying a tractor would benefit the entire brigade, and Ye Han didn't believe that anyone would oppose it.
"Oh, no, that's not possible. We have to buy seeds and fertilizers with the remaining money every year, and the surplus has to be distributed to the members," Li Erhe said helplessly. "Every time I propose to buy a tractor, there are always two troublemakers who say that the money should be spent on the right things. Either it should be distributed to everyone, or they will report it to the commune."
"It's so troublesome," Ye Hanhan said helplessly.
"Yeah, if I could buy a tractor, I would have bought it a long time ago."
Li Erhe had been the team leader for such a long time, but this was the first time someone spoke to him about his real concerns. He instantly felt like he had found a confidant and told Ye Han a lot of things about the team.
Ye Xuanhan thought for a moment and then asked, "What about borrowing tractors from other teams?"
"I have borrowed one before. They were willing to lend the tractor to our brigade, but no one was willing to come and help us drive it. Tractors are not something that ordinary people can drive."
The tractor drivers from other brigades were generally not short of money and did not want to offend the members of their own brigades. Every time Li Erhe went to ask for help, they always had various reasons to refuse.
As time went by, Li Erhe no longer had the nerve to ask for help.
Ye Hanhan actively helped Li Erhe solve the tractor problem, not for the sake of making the other party grateful to him.
She just wanted to make life better for the members of Huaihua Brigade.
Although some people treated the original owner, Daya, very badly in the past, and even watched her being abused by her second uncle and stood by with cold eyes.
But there are still those aunts and uncles who are very kind to her.
She and Jiang Wang came back to prepare a banquet, and they came to help without saying a word.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Even though Ye Han has become cold-hearted in the end times, he is now infected by the simple feelings of his fellow villagers in the 1970s.
She really wants to do something for everyone.
"Uncle Li, I'll help you find a solution," Ye Han said seriously.
"Ah, good boy," Li Erhe shook his head helplessly, "You are like your father, kind-hearted. Since you want to help, Uncle Li certainly can't stop you. Just do your best."
"Um."
After Ye Xuanhan returned, she kept thinking about the tractor and didn't even notice Qian Lanlan walking up to her.
The other person playfully snapped his fingers in front of her, "Han, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Ye Han looked up and saw Qian Lanlan standing in front of him with a smile on her face.
"I was thinking about tractors," Ye Han answered truthfully.
"Why would you want that thing? You can't eat or drink it," Qian Lanlan said, "but it can hold a lot of things, haha. It can hold a lot of things."
Ye Xuanhan was amused by Qian Lanlan's words and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"That's right, you look better when you smile, and it's also good for the baby in your belly."
Ye Han explained: "I want to find a tractor for our brigade, so that next time when we pay our public grain, we don't have to go through the trouble of driving a bullock cart."
"Xianhan, are you sure you can get a tractor? That thing is very expensive."
Ye Xuanhan did not answer, but nodded seriously.
Now that you have made a promise, you must keep it.
"In fact, the most important thing is not the tractor, but the person who drives the tractor," Ye Han said after careful consideration. "If there is someone who can drive a tractor, we won't have to work so hard every day to pay the public grain in the future."
"You want to find a tractor driver?" Qian Lanlan asked, "Isn't that easy?"
Ye Hanhan looked at Qian Lanlan in confusion, "Can you drive a tractor?"
Qian Lanlan came from the capital and used to work in a factory. It was impossible for her to come into contact with a tractor, let alone drive one.
Ye Hanhan shook his head and gave up the idea.
"Hey," Qian Lanlan smiled, with her hands on her hips, "Don't underestimate me. I used to be the only female driver of a large truck in the factory."
Ye Xuanhan’s eyes widened.
"ah?"
"A truck is similar to a tractor. You can learn how to use it after a little practice."
Ye Hanhan felt that the word "shocked" could not describe his feelings at the moment.
Qian Lanlan can drive a big truck!
She had always thought that the other party was just an ordinary factory worker.
