Chapter 70: No one survives

The group moved their position.

Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo seemed to be walking on cotton, and they even wobbled a little when they walked.

Their dream since childhood was to earn a two-wheeled bicycle in the future. Now they have the opportunity to ride a four-wheeled car. They feel like they are dreaming, but the envious eyes of their friends around them tell them that this is really not a dream.

Ye Yu asked:

"Do you have a driver's license?"

"Driver's license? Motor vehicle driver's license? I have it!" Han Jing puffed out his chest and answered proudly.

It is not difficult to get a driver's license in this era, but it is more complicated than a few decades later. It is not only a technical issue, but mainly not everyone can take the test. Generally speaking, only those who have a job that allows them to come into contact with vehicles can take the test. In addition, the test content also includes a very important background political review.

As a result, there are very few people with a driver's license, and the most common license is for agricultural tractor drivers.

Yes, nowadays tractor drivers also have a driver's license. Of course, not all of them follow the rules, especially since the transportation department has not yet been established. For example, many driver apprentices driving large trucks do not have a driver's license.

Han Jing used this as an excuse. During this Spring Festival, he, who had just turned 18, applied for motor vehicle and tractor driver's licenses, which were both approved. This also indirectly proved that the Han family, especially Grandpa Han, had passed the first wave of crisis.

Ye Yu sat in the passenger seat with great regret.

"?" Han Jing finally understood that Ye Yu wanted to be the main driver and drive the car. He paused and asked, "Can you do it?"

Elm leaves:

“You can’t learn it.”

Han Jingxin.

In his eyes, Ye Yu is omnipotent and learning to drive is a matter of minutes. He briefly introduced the gears, brakes and accelerator to Ye Yu, and suggested that Ye Yu apply for the test during this Spring Festival. He believed that she would be able to get her driver's license soon.

Ye Yu glanced at it, memorized it, and asked, "Are you going to take the tractor driver's license exam?"

"How do you know about the tractor?!" Han Jing opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't say anything, why did Ye Yu know that their Wangjiagou would soon have a tractor.

"Use your brain," Ye Yu pointed his finger, then pointed his finger at his face, "Also, you're obviously too happy, and you talk less. It's obvious that you're holding back on what to do."

"..." The surprise plan was aborted. Han Jing was like a golden retriever, with his invisible tail drooping. He said lamely, "Actually, you can also apply for a motor vehicle driver's license at the same time. Grandpa won't mind lending you this car."

At this time, Gao Xinliang, Song Kai, Ma Shengnan, and Ye Baoguo brothers also sat in the back seat one by one.

Among them, Gao Xinliang, Song Kai, Ma Shengnan, and Ye Baoguo were sitting together, and Ye Weiguo was treated like a child, sitting on Ye Baoguo's lap.

The car was a bit crowded, but in this day and age, cars, trains, trams, minibuses and buses are mostly packed with people in China.

Han Jing didn't remain depressed for long. When he took control of the steering wheel, his energy returned.

Amid the applause of the crowd, the vehicles started moving, gradually speeding up, and children chased after them, shouting and making noises, for a long time.

It is also very eye-catching along the way.

But the driving experience was not that comfortable. First, the chassis of the vehicle was ordinary. Second, the roads at that time, even in Yanjing City, could not be guaranteed to be all flat concrete. When passing through potholes, the shaking of the vehicle made the stomach uncomfortable.

Ye Yu half-opened the window to let in some fresh air. Ye Baoguo, who was sitting in the back seat, was both excited and uncomfortable due to motion sickness. It was not until the air circulated that he felt better.

About an hour later, they arrived at their destination, which was not a suburban pharmaceutical factory, but parked in front of an old courtyard house not too far from the pharmaceutical factory.

Ma Shengnan went to the pharmaceutical factory to negotiate with her mother, and others entered the yard.

Parked in the middle of the courtyard were the surprises described by Han Jing: two second-hand tractors, smaller than the Red Flag Team's tractors and of similar condition.

Walk-behind tractors can be operated in both wet and dry conditions, and are more suitable for production in the vast majority of fields in the country today.

Ma Shengnan paid for these two second-hand tractors. Her family, together with Han Jing, Gao Xinliang, and Song Kai's families, applied for them jointly.

A Wangjiagou, a southern production team led by Gao Xinliang and Song Kaidai.

If the production team that Gao Xinliang and Song Kai belonged to was not also a relatively well-known and wealthy production team, and there was not a rice research experimental site in the local area, and if Wangjiagou was not famous throughout the country for its reputation created by the educated youth, this application would not have been approved.

All I can say is that it was the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Han Jing replied: "I checked and both tractors are working fine. Can you check again to see if there is any problem?"

He brought a wooden box and opened it. It was full of car repair tools, including hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches. There were five types of wrenches alone, including open-end wrenches, ring wrenches, and adjustable wrenches. They were more complete than those of the Red Flag Brigade.

"OK."

Ye Yu took the tools and walked around, knocking and hammering, even removing and reinstalling them. Basically, there were no problems. The tires were a bit severely worn, and there was also a remover on the piston rod. It was recommended to replace them for better durability.

There are also some small parts that you are recommended to prepare in stock, including suspension links, locking pins, nuts, screws, blades, etc., as well as engine oil, etc.

Han Jing had a plan for this, and it took him several days to come up with it: "Isn't Uncle Ye in the machinery factory? Don't bother Uncle. When the time comes, we can go find the factory director or deputy director and ask him to help support the educated youth in the countryside. I will try my best to write an article about it. If that doesn't work, there are Xu Fei and others. By then, won't the Yanjing Machinery Factory appear in the newspapers?"

Ye Yu looked at Han Jing in wonder, this boy is not bad, this is very similar to future advertising sponsorship, in an age where reputation is valued, it is difficult for any factory manager to refuse.

Han Jing raised his eyebrows proudly.

Because these two tractors were taken on the truck that the troops used to take back to Beijing, in addition to the tractors, Han Jing also asked them to collect some broken old machinery from the local agricultural and sideline station, which were piled up in the corner like scrap metal being sold.

Machinery is so expensive these days that it is only when technicians are unable to repair them that they are truly scrapped.

Han Jing originally thought that he could repair it himself, or at most replace it with a diesel engine or something like that, but he obviously overestimated himself and underestimated the technicians. Scrap metal is still scrap metal, and there is not much useful after dismantling it.

Elm leaves:

"If repairing it doesn't work, we can change our thinking and try to assemble it to replace the old with the new."

For example, the old-fashioned oil press they had seen before.

The power principle of that is actually not difficult, especially if the machine shop can invest in parts to supplement the sponsorship.

The greater difficulty lies in the fact that diesel itself is a consumable energy source. Can Wangjiagou afford the daily wear and tear of the oil press like the Red Flag Brigade, or can it switch to other simpler power sources?

Human power or other natural forces, I have to say that in this era, human power is quite worthless.

Or adding additional functions to a walk-behind tractor, or even making other agricultural machinery, such as irrigation, harvesting, threshing, etc. These are more difficult and require a solid foundation in science and engineering, a full understanding of farming, and imagination and creativity.

It is indeed difficult.

Ye Yu thought that since Han Jing was planning to solicit sponsorship from the machinery factory, he should not make a quick deal and should get more money as advertising fees. Besides, interest is the best teacher, and he can also constantly review knowledge while thinking.

"wait……"

"Waiting for what?"

Elm leaves:

"Nothing."

I almost slipped up and mentioned waiting for the college entrance examination ten years later, but luckily I stopped myself in time.

This pile of mechanical junk is a mess with all kinds of things, including some scrapped bicycle parts. Putting aside the more complicated motor, it takes several hours to assemble half a bicycle. It is called half a bicycle because two pedals are missing. It is better to replace the chain and tires with new ones.

All in all, it's still worth a ride.

Ye Weiguo demonstrated on the spot, riding half a circle with relative difficulty.

Ye Yujian couldn't bear to watch it and gave himself a bad review because the link was too lame and the naked machine was too ugly, but the two brothers Ye Weiguo were very excited.

Especially Ye Baoguo, his father was an employee of a machinery factory, but he himself had never been interested in machinery, even though Ye Hongjun had taught him some technical knowledge.

Han Jing was also very excited. Even Gao Xinliang and Song Kai seemed to be obsessed with modifying the remaining half of the toys. However, their eyes were not as good as a ruler, their accuracy was not good, and their operation also had many flaws.

However, if they had a complete set of second-hand bicycle parts, they would be confident that they could assemble it.

At least the eyes will.

After a while, Ma Shengnan came back with two porters behind her, carrying two sacks of medicine. It was only at the end of the year or the beginning of the next year that such a large stock could be gathered.

Elm leaves:

“Warm up before exercising.”

Then comes body stretching. You must learn at least three movements before you can start the medicinal bath. After all, the medicinal bath does not require people to sit still, but requires continuous practice of movements.

Medicine only plays a supporting role, while movement is the basis for stretching flexibility and unblocking tendons, meridians and acupoints.

So far, only Han Jing can make a big pot.

Yes, the big pot, they finally got the pot for bathing, sponsored by a pharmaceutical company.

First add some base ingredients into the pot, simmer for about half an hour, then put in other processed ingredients in order. Just like cooking rice, the order of ingredients is also very important. After another half an hour, Han Jing can be put into the pot.

!!!

Not to mention the question of whether to get out of the pot or not, Han Jing, a thick-skinned man, couldn't help but blush when taking a shower in front of so many people. As soon as Ye Yu raised his eyelids, he immediately took off his outer coat and sweater, leaving only a thin layer of inner clothes, and jumped shiveringly.

Ye Yu added: "Practice as many sets of movements as possible. The clock is here. The first time should be no less than three hours and no more than four hours. Drink a bowl of water every half an hour. If you feel dizzy, stop immediately and call for help."

Then there are Yewei and his people.

The sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling rang out, and Ye Yu plugged his ears in time.

Fortunately, they were in the suburbs and in the cellar. In addition, there were few people in the factory during the Spring Festival. And just in case, Ma Shengnan's mother, who was the deputy director of the factory, had already informed the workers on duty in the factory in advance under the pretext of bone-setting treatment. Otherwise, the police might have been called.

The main theme is "no one survives", and no one can walk out of the courtyard standing.
