Chapter 51: Second Update: Repairing the Tractor

Different from the concave terrain of Wangjiagou, Hongqi Brigade is a flat “mountain” character.

That is, there is a mountain behind it and a flat land in front of it.

The Red Flag Brigade was actually closer to the next town, but in the beginning it was assigned to Pingquan Commune because it was backed by a mountain. Also, because it was relatively "rich", Pingquan Commune was reluctant to give it up. If it had been one of those production teams that was dragging the commune down, who knows how far it would have been thrown away.

As Ye Yu and his companions approached the Red Flag Battalion, the first thing they saw was a vast expanse of land in front of the mountain.

The land in the gaps between the three mountains of Wangjiagou is not actually small, but even if the sloping land is included, the total area is less than one-third of the amount of good land in the Red Flag Brigade.

Moreover, the land of the Hongqi Brigade was not divided by hillsides, trees, and streams like Wangjiagou, but was connected as one. It looked quite spectacular and was easier to plant, harvest, and manage.

This is also the reason why Wang Jiagou spent huge amounts of money and used connections to purchase some mechanical products.

From this point of view, Ding Xiangsong, the captain of the Red Flag Battalion, is definitely a far-sighted captain.

It is the winter idle season now, not completely idle, but there is less work in the fields.

Passing through the narrow paths between the fertile fields, a row of bungalows with red walls and black tiles appeared before our eyes.

This is the village community of the Red Flag Brigade.

Like Wangjiagou Village, Hongqi Brigade Village also has a large open space in front of it, but the former is deserted and is mainly used for village meetings and drying grain, while the latter has an eye-catching tractor parked on the dam.

Such a tractor can play a huge role in many aspects such as tilling land, plowing fields, sowing seeds, and applying fertilizers, greatly reducing manpower consumption.

In order to protect the tractor from the sun and rain, the Hongqi production team built a simple shed for it.

At this time, many villagers from the Red Flag Brigade surrounded the greenhouse, each with a worried look on their face. In the middle, the brigade leader Ding Xiangsong was talking to an elderly man in a military coat.

Only when Ye Yu and his four companions approached did a few locals notice them.

"Who are you?"

"We are the educated youth from Wangjiagou, and we are here to visit the educated youth Yang Xiuxiu and Zhao Chunjiao."

Some people also met them at the entrance of the Agricultural and Sideline Products Station last time and were deeply impressed by them.

Especially Ye Yu.

They whispered to each other: "See? The most iconic one is the one who chopped the wild boar with one hand last time."

Elm leaves:

??? Can't you tell the difference between your hands and feet? The spread of rumors keeps refreshing our cognition.

"The educated youth are all at the educated youth site. Ding Xiaoqi, you take them over there." The team leader also heard the commotion here, but at this moment he had neither the time nor the mood to entertain them. He asked someone to lead the way for them, with a little bit of supervisory intention.

Ding Xiaoqi stood up. He was a teenager in his teens who was very interested in tractors. Naturally, he was reluctant to be asked to leave, and the reluctance was written on his face.

Han Jing also took a look at the tractor and asked curiously: "Are you repairing the tractor? Have you found the problem? The engine? Or the diesel engine?"

Ding Xiaoqi only knew that a tractor was called a tractor, but he had no idea what a drilling machine was. However, he had heard these two words from Grandpa Ding, the only man in his village who had some knowledge of machinery because he had served in the army for some time.

He pointed at Han Jing excitedly and said, "He can, he can, he can repair the tractor!"

All of a sudden, everyone in the village looked at him in unison. You see, this bamboo-shaped boy is not to be judged by his appearance.

Including the team leader Ding Xiangsong, who asked: "You educated youth, can you repair a tractor?"

"Uh, no, not completely," Han Jing scratched his head awkwardly, "I just read some books about mechanics, saw technicians repairing Volga... cars, helped pass some things, and know a little bit."

He has been interested in cars since he was a child, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to get his hands on one, even if it was just to watch.

As soon as Mr. Ding heard the hidden meaning in Han Jing's words, he knew that his identity was not simple.

This is the Volga!

What is Volga?

This is an imported car produced by the Gorky Automobile Factory in Rosa State, north of Ye State. This car is more than just a car, it is a government-issued car widely used in socialist countries. Anyone who can ride in such a car must be a big leader, and the young people who can access such a car must be of high status.

It was not because of Han Jing's background that Mr. Ding was impressed by him, but because his former commander also had a Volga, he could not help but speculate that Han Jing had a background as a veteran of the Red Army. He must be very special to his comrades, so he waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "Then come and take a look?"

"Then should I try?"

Han Jing walked over.

Hua Feifei and Xu Fei didn't know much about cars, but this was a chance to get in close contact with the tractor, so they hurriedly followed, with Ye Yu walking at a leisurely pace at the end.

This is a domestically produced Dongfanghong tractor.

Crawler tractors driven by diesel as internal combustion engines are not brand new machines. Second-hand machines will always have some problems after being used for a long time.

If a tractor has a problem, there are only two ways to fix it: fix it yourself or go to the town to ask a technician from the agricultural and sub-station to come and fix it. The latter is not only time-consuming and laborious, but because there is a real shortage of technicians, they may not be able to hire someone right away.

Therefore, every time the tractor broke down, Captain Ding and all the team members in the village would be worried and helpless.

Han Jing frowned and carefully checked the entire structure of the tractor, including the diesel engine, gearbox, traction system, operating mechanism, chassis, etc., focusing on the drive system, but still failed to find any problems.

Just as I was about to apologize, a hand reached out from behind me and opened my palm.

Korean Scene:

"???"

Elm leaves:

"Give me the wrench."

"Ye Yu, you can do it?" Han Jing's eyes bulged in surprise. Why does Ye Zhiqing know everything and can do everything?

Ye Yu is different from Han Jing. She did not learn any mechanical knowledge from textbooks. She just learned a lot by herself, which means she could learn something by disassembling hundreds of thousands of cars.

When the space teleportation skill was still at the elementary and intermediate level and the coordinate map was not clearly constructed, I relied on cars a lot when going out. I bought many types of cars for zero yuan, and not only cars, but also some hot weapons were closely related to machinery.

Even if Ye Yu has reached a high level, she cannot teleport everywhere she goes. Moreover, she has been wandering for a while, so it is more convenient for her to learn everything by herself.

Naturally I know more.

However, the crowd did not quite believe that the educated female youth in front of them could repair the tractor. Firstly, they did not believe that a woman could work with machinery. Secondly, the educated female youth's hands were so wrinkled that they looked like the hands of a rich lady who had never been involved in any sexual activity.

Some people also murmured that although it was the hand of a rich girl, it was surprisingly harmonious when holding the iron wrench.

The iron plate was a tool in the hands of Mr. Ding and Han Jing, but in Ye Yu's hands it seemed to be tamed by her, or in other words, it became a part of her hands.

Whether it's turning in a circle, or twisting, twisting, or spinning, it can't be smoother.

Captain Ding was skeptical about Ye Yu at first, but when he saw how skilled she was in using the wrench, like an old hand with decades of experience, he inevitably gained a little more confidence.

"Is that all right?"

Do you have five minutes?

Ye Yu: “Yeah.”

In fact, Han Jing's inspection was very rigorous, but it was not the power system's fault. His focus was wrong from the beginning. If it was the power system, she might not be able to fix it after just a few attempts, and important parts would have to be replaced.

The tractor operator of the Red Flag Brigade started the tractor with doubt. Suddenly, a series of rapid "thump thump" sounds were heard, and a familiar thick gray-black smoke spewed out of the engine nozzle.

It’s actually got better!

This female educated youth actually knows how to do it?

It took Master Ding and Captain Ding two hours to find the problem, but she solved it in less than five minutes. Isn't that amazing?

"As expected of a Flying Pig Youth!" Some big shot suddenly said this.

Elm leaves:

???

The name is very good, don’t use it next time.

At this moment, Mr. Ding, Captain Ding, Han Jing, Hua Feifei, and all the villagers of Hongqi Village looked at Ye Yu as if he were some enlightened master.

Ye Yuzhending: "My father is a technician in a machinery factory."

It is said that she had gone to the machinery factory several times when she was a child, mainly to deliver breakfast and dinner to Ye Hongjun who was working overtime. He would stay there for a while during meals, just to be a waiter, and definitely not to learn anything.

But to other people, this answer was just a mechanical skill that Ye Yu learned from her father. Although the machines used to produce cars and car parts were different, they were still machines, right? Only the half-baked Han Jing had some doubts.

Captain Ding praised:

"A good father will have a good daughter!"

Wang Zhiming was really lucky to have such a versatile educated youth. If Ye Yu could be assigned to their Red Flag Brigade and work with them in rural construction, the Red Flag Brigade would become stronger and stronger.

He didn't know that Hua Feifei and Xu Fei's submissions were successful. If he knew, his eyes would be filled with envy.

This time, Ding Xiaoqi was no longer reluctant at all and took the initiative to come over to lead the way. However, he was no longer the only one who wanted to lead the way for the educated youth from Wangjiagou.

A group of teenagers came over, accompanied by a few young girls and a bunch of snotty-nosed village kids.

Not only that, even adults who particularly like to join in the fun came along enthusiastically.

If Captain Ding had not had other things to do after his tractor was repaired, it would not be impossible for him to give them a ride.

In short, Ye Yu and the other three walked towards the educated youth point of the Red Flag Brigade in a mighty manner, surrounded by a group of people.

The terrain in the Hongqi Brigade village is flat. There are many more people living at the foot of the mountain than on the mountain, and the houses are mostly clustered together. The conditions in the brigade are better than those in Wangjiagou in any case. The villagers were sincere in welcoming the educated youth at the beginning, so the educated youth site was well arranged and no worse than that in Wangjiagou.

Yang Xiuxiu and several other educated youth heard the noisy noise and went out to the yard to see what was going on. Then something that shocked them happened.

Especially Yang Xiuxiu and Zhao Chunjiao, they recognized Ye Yu and the other three, but they were puzzled as to why Ye Yu and the others could chat and laugh with the villagers from the Red Flag Team.
