She remembered that it was in 1959 that Chinese-made tractors were officially launched.
After 1960, tractors should be popularized in all rural areas.
Previously, tractors were imported from the Soviet Union, and only farms could get them, so production teams had no chance of getting them.
The machines in Jiang Mengxue's space are not very suitable for this era. If others can't understand them when they are taken out, doesn't that mean there is something wrong?
No one knew what Gu Zhenxing said when he went to the commune in the afternoon, but he came back empty-handed and looked unhappy.
According to Jiang Mengxue's idea, instead of borrowing from everywhere and having to look up to people, it would be better to use her connections to see if she could buy one.
But in this era, if you want to buy it, you have to go through the commune leaders or even the county leaders.
After returning home, Jiang Mengxue told Gu Zhenjiang about this matter.
Gu Zhenjiang knows a lot of people, and he maintains many of the Gu family's relationships, especially Gu Zhenhai's comrades-in-arms, whom he knows all from his hometown.
Even if these people do not hold high positions, they all have many connections in their fields.
Gu Zhenjiang never mentioned this matter at home, but two days later, Gu Zhenxing took people away early in the morning, saying that they were transporting things.
I heard from Li Cuiying that she spent more than 800 yuan to buy two diesel-powered water pumps.
We pulled it back in the afternoon, and some children were already waiting on the main road.
As soon as I saw a figure, I came back to inform you.
As soon as everyone received the news, they no longer had the heart to work. They threw away their hoes and went to meet the enemy.
Jiang Mengxue didn't know what was going on in the clinic until she saw someone running towards the fields.
At first, she didn't know how much the water pump was worth. If it was too expensive and the brigade couldn't afford it, she could lend it to the brigade and return it when she got it.
I didn’t expect it to be so cheap, only about 400 yuan, which is money the brigade can afford.
But it’s not a small amount either, as it used up a lot of the team’s savings.
As soon as the water pump arrived, several production team leaders started fighting over it, all wanting to be the first to use it.
It was almost as if people in my team started fighting again because of this.
In the end, it was Gu Zhenxing who made the decision: "Draw lots, whoever you draw will be the one. If anyone makes trouble again, that production team will be the last one to be used next year.
This is our own team's thing, it can't run away, why are you in such a hurry?
Those who haven't been assigned a spot should continue to work as usual, and everyone should hurry up when they need it. Delaying the rest of the work will also affect our team's harvest."
The leaders of several production teams blushed and obediently used the pumps according to the order drawn by lots.
The team that got the items first happily took them away.
However, not many people know how to use it, and if something goes wrong during use, they won’t be able to fix it.
In the end, Gu Zhenjiang went with him. He had an instruction manual which taught him how to solve some basic minor problems.
But after all, he was not a member of the brigade, so there was no reason for him to help with the work.
Finally, the team selected several young literate guys to follow him and learn from him how to use and repair it.
Around July, the higher-ups sent an experienced doctor to the countryside to replace Jiang Mengxue.
The doctor's name is Xin Xin. He is in his thirties and comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His grandfather and parents are all traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
When it comes to medical skills, she is definitely much better than Jiang Mengxue who has little experience.
Jiang Mengxue put away some of the pills she made, but kept all the Western medicines she took out.
After all, there is no qualification certificate for the medicine you make yourself. Just use it yourself and don’t show it to others.
The family housing at Gu Qingbei’s unit has been applied for and is waiting for them to arrive.
Jiang Mengxue planned to go with Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang, but they had things to do at home and a lot of things to pack. The extra things that could not be taken had to be sent over.
So the two of them planned to wait until before the New Year to go.
Jiang Mengxue had no objection. Everyone has their own life. They are retired now and should enjoy their lives.
But she was worried about the old couple being alone at home. Mobao couldn't leave them, and they couldn't leave Mobao either, so they decided to go with the army.
When we live close to each other, we can take our children to visit our grandparents at any time.
While Jiang Mengxue was packing up at home, her family received a letter from the county.
The recipient was Gu Zhenhai and the sender was Liu Yuanlong, a name they had never heard of.
Jiang Mengxue happened to be planning to send a letter to Gu Qingbei, so she took the letter to the commune and called Gu Zhenhai to ask.
When Gu Zhenhai heard the name for the first time, he didn't react.
Suddenly, the voice on the other end of the phone said in a low voice, "Xiaoxue, is this a letter from our county?"
Jiang Mengxue responded and said that he was in the county town. Logically, if there was anything, he should have come directly to me. There was no reason for him to go around writing a letter.
Gu Zhenhai said again, "I know who it is, Xiaoxue, can you help me see what's in the letter? No matter what the letter asks, I will help.
Liu Yuanlong saved my life many years ago, but time was really tight at that time and I didn't have time to explain too much. I just left him the address of my hometown and told him that he could come to me if he had any problems. But there has been no news from home for so many years. I also asked your uncle and second uncle, and they both said that no one came to look for me.
I almost thought he was dead, so I didn't send any messages. I didn't expect that after all these years, we would finally get in touch."
Jiang Mengxue also wanted to know what was written in her heart. Since the other party was Gu's father's savior, he was naturally the benefactor of the Gu family. No matter how difficult the matter was, they would not refuse.
The handwriting on the letter was not very nice, and it was obviously written by an elementary school student, but fortunately there were no circles or crosses replacing the characters.
There was only a thin piece of paper in the envelope, but the name at the front surprised Jiang Mengxue.
Jiang Mengxue read the letter while reading it to Gu Zhenhai on the other end of the phone.
"Hello Comrade Gu, I am Liu Tianqi, grandson of Liu Yuanlong. My grandfather passed away more than ten years ago.
Recently, the authorities are looking for the underground workers of that time and want to posthumously confer them the title of martyr, but my grandfather died many years ago and the documents are incomplete.
Before he died, Grandpa said you could prove his identity. I hope you can help him prove his identity. Thank you!
After just a few lines of words, not only Gu Zhenhai was speechless, even Jiang Mengxue didn't know what to say.
She never believed that such a coincidence would happen, but it couldn't be such a coincidence that another person named Liu Tianqi in the county was the grandson of Gu Zhenhai's people, right?
If she knew Liu Tianqi and that he was the one who wrote the letter, then it would be like a flood that washed away the temple of Yama.
She still wanted Liu Tianqi to work honestly for her, but she didn't guide him onto the right path at all. What a sin.
Wouldn't she be too embarrassed to face him the next time they meet?
The key point is that both Liu Tianqi and his grandmother have seen Jiang Mengxue's true face, so they can't pretend not to know her.
