During the road construction, although some people did not want to work, after the team leader's coercion and enticement, they still had to work obediently!
Nobody wanted to offend the captain.
So basically no one disagreed.
Moreover, the captain also said that he had already reported the matter to his superiors.
If this gets reported to higher authorities, it could be a big deal. If they take it very seriously, those troublemakers will be in big trouble.
As the captain watched batches of stones being pulled down, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Everyone, work hard. Our village is the first team in the surrounding area to build a road. The higher-ups already know about it, and they will definitely praise us."
After the team leader's words, the workers became even more enthusiastic.
The people smashing the stones worked even harder.
The squad leader wandered around and found Huo Junshan: "Third brother, have you found a seller for the tractor? When are you going to buy it?"
Huo Junshan stopped, wiped his sweat, and said, "No rush. The wheat harvest is over now. We can buy it before the autumn harvest. I'll go ask in a few days!"
The captain was anxious!
After years of waiting, the time has finally come when they can buy a tractor. From now on, Old Huang will no longer be exhausted from plowing and turning the land in their team!
The captain was very anxious, but seeing Lao San's unhurried attitude, he pulled him aside and asked, "Lao San, you don't actually want to give up the money, do you?"
Before Huo Junshan could speak, the brigade leader nodded to himself again: "That's right! Road repairs cost a lot of money! And now we have to buy tractors, isn't that too much money?"
The captain was somewhat distraught as he thought about this.
Huo Junshan wanted to laugh when he saw his dejected appearance.
I never expected my uncle to have such a creative mind.
That's quite an imagination! He's already promised something, how could he not keep it?
Huo Junshan is a man of his word.
If you say something, you must do it.
He said helplessly, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll go ask tomorrow if that's okay?"
Tractors aren't sold in the county; you have to go to the city or the provincial capital to buy them.
The captain was relieved and patted Huo Junshan on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Third brother, don't worry, the team won't forget you. I'll go back and get you a letter of introduction later. Are you going to the city or the provincial capital?"
Huo Junshan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the city first! I'll take Ningning with me. We can also visit the garment factory; it's been a while since we've been there."
I don't know if there are any tractors in the city, but there should be. I'll go check first, and if that doesn't work, I'll go to the provincial capital.
The captain nodded: "Okay."
The next morning, Huo Junshan took Yun Ningyan to the city.
To ensure there were enough tractors in the city, the brigade leader even sent a letter of introduction to the provincial capital.
"Third brother, take this letter of introduction. If it's not available in the city, go to the provincial capital to buy it. Here's two thousand yuan, it's from the brigade. Take it first, and if it's available, just buy it directly!"
Huo Junshan took the money and left with Yun Ningyan.
Once the two arrived in the city, they first called Xiao Hongjun.
After explaining their purpose, Xiao Hongjun immediately had someone deliver the necessary documents to them.
Originally, it wasn't a simple matter for any brigade to want to buy tractors, but now the Hongxing Brigade is well-known in the county and city.
Furthermore, with Xiao Hongjun involved, their procedures were processed very quickly.
Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan barely had to wait before Xiao Hongjun had Xiao Liu bring over the paperwork.
They took the paperwork and went to visit the garment factory first.
Yang Dasheng and Wei Xiangdong knew that the two men had come to buy a tractor.
Wei Xiangdong thought for a moment and said, "Brother Huo, I think I know where I can buy a tractor."
He had worked in the city for so long, so he was somewhat familiar with the area.
"Brother Huo, there's a factory at the northernmost end of Beida Street, I think it's some kind of machinery factory?"
Huo Junshan nodded and went out with Yun Ningyan.
The two of them found the machine factory without much effort.
This can't really be called a factory; it's more like a sales point, but it's still state-owned.
There were only a few scattered tractors inside.
The tractor had several large red characters: "The East Is Red".
Nowadays, the most common tractors are of the Dongfanghong brand; most ordinary people have never seen other brands.
Looking over, Yun Ningyan saw that the tractors of this era were completely different from the tractors in her memory.
Although they are basically the same as tractors in later generations, these tractors all look very bulky and large.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the staff member smiled with delight and said, "You two are here to see the tractors?"
Huo Junshan nodded, then touched a red tractor with his large hand and asked, "How much is this one?"
Seeing that the two people were asking about the price directly, the man smiled and introduced, "Comrade, you have a good eye. This is a new model, it just arrived yesterday."
He finished speaking and held up four fingers.
Huo Junshan shook his head: "Four thousand? That's too expensive. Shall we go to the provincial capital and take a look?"
He looked at Yun Ningyan as he spoke, and Yun Ningyan nodded, a smile playing on her lips.
Huo Junshan is trying to lower the price.
"Alright then! This price is indeed a bit expensive. We can get a cheaper price if we buy it in the provincial capital."
The man was getting anxious because the client he had almost secured was about to leave.
He did have ulterior motives. These two people looked like they were rich, and he himself hadn't sold a single unit in the past two or three months.
During this time, he was thinking of asking for a higher price so that he could pocket the extra money.
