Chapter 132 Cen Yan really knows how to drive a tractor!
"Captain, Comrade Cen Yan is right. People can wait, but the grain in the fields can't. Let Comrade Cen Yan operate the tractor and bring the grain back from the field ridges!"
A woman wearing a straw raincoat and hat stepped forward. She believed that Cen Yan could prove to everyone that women could also drive tractors, and that Zhang Wei's scumbag view was wrong!
Xiang Yiguo stomped his foot: "Fine! At worst, I'll go explain to the commune myself. We can't worry about that in this situation. Comrade Cen Yan, go ahead and do it. If the sky falls, our entire Xiangyang Brigade will support you!"
"Don't worry, the sky won't fall." Just as she said this to Yi Guo, if the tractor really broke down in her hands, she could just compensate the commune with a new tractor. She didn't have anything else, well... she had a little money.
As Cen Yan spoke, she climbed directly onto the tractor. Her petite frame looked rather small compared to the massive tractor.
As soon as she got in the car, Cen Yan began to observe. In her previous life, when she ran away to Hong Kong to find her scumbag father, she learned a lot, including the fact that the driver had driven before.
However, since we were driving sedans at the time, I still remembered how to drive them.
This is my first time using a tractor.
"Ha! See, see! I told you this woman can't drive a tractor! The first thing a tractor driver does when starting a tractor is to go around it once, not to get on it directly. Cen Yan, if you can't handle it, get off and kneel down to apologize! If you break the tractor, you'll be in big trouble!" Zhang Wei stood to the side with his arms crossed and sneered.
Cen Yan suddenly remembered that she was really forgetful; the way to start a tractor is completely different from that of a car!
Thinking of this, Cen Yan jumped off the vehicle, found the iron crank used to start the tractor, inserted it into the specially made hole at the front of the vehicle, and cranked it several times with all her might.
Finally, the tractor got started.
The production team members stared intently at Cen Yan, afraid she would damage the tractor. Zhang Wei also wanted to laugh at Cen Yan, but before he could even utter a sound, the tractor made a "putt-putt-putt" sound, followed by a cloud of black smoke billowing from the front, which had a pungent and unpleasant smell.
"My God! The tractor really started! Comrade Cen Yan really knows how to drive a tractor?"
"I think so. Otherwise, how would a woman like her know how to start a tractor? Zhang Wei has probably messed with the wrong person. He didn't expect Cen Yan to actually know how to drive a tractor!"
Cen Yan had no interest in Zhang Wei and climbed back onto the tractor to examine the other parts.
Old-fashioned tractors have two gear levers, and you have to figure out which gear is forward and which is reverse. There's also the clutch, brake, etc.
Never mind, I'll try them one by one. There are only a few things, I'll figure them out eventually.
Cen Yan fiddled with it for two minutes, then directly applied oil to the tractor.
Some rusty old tractors drove directly out of the shed and circled around the villagers of the production team.
In just five minutes, Cen Yan successfully mastered how to drive a tractor. It wasn't actually that difficult; you just needed to remember the techniques.
"Comrade Cen Yan, you, you really know how to drive a tractor?"
Xiang Yiguo watched from the side, his eyes wide. He thought Cen Yan was joking, but he didn't expect her to actually do it!
"It's obvious, Captain Xiang. Enough with the small talk, let's hurry and move the grain back to the warehouse!"
Cen Yan glanced at Zhang Wei, whose face was flushed red, and couldn't be bothered with such a person.
After much persuasion from Zhang Wei, she was able to operate the tractor to transport grain back and forth twice, saving the villagers at least several hundred kilograms of grain from loss.
