Chapter 239 Asking for Repair
"Is the stationmaster away again today?"
"When will this tractor be repaired? We've been waiting for so many days."
"We must be given an explanation today."
"Yes, I will leave when the agricultural machinery station sends someone to my village to repair the tractor."
A group of people gathered in front of the gate with the sign of Hongqi County Agricultural Machinery Station.
Everyone was talking excitedly, but the gate of the agricultural machinery station was still tightly closed.
"Oh, the tractor in our Qinjia Village is broken too. I don't know when the agricultural machinery station will come to repair it for us."
The people who were talking suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice and all looked at Su Nanzhi.
Su Nanzhi was not at all nervous and smiled at everyone.
"Hey guys, when will the people from the agricultural machinery station come out?"
One of the short and strong men looked at the closed door of the agricultural machinery station and shook his head helplessly.
"I think the door of the agricultural machinery station will not open until the rush plowing is over."
Another old man wearing a straw hat spat on the ground, his face full of anger. "If that really happens, the daylily will be gone. It would be better not to assign that iron ox to our village."
"It broke down on the ground after just a few days of work. It was a complete waste of our time."
Mr. Straw Hat's words were recognized by many people.
A middle-aged man in a gown sighed, "Even if we had a tractor this year, we probably wouldn't be able to complete the task. Now this tractor is broken. I don't know if we can complete the task."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the straw hat walked forward and kicked the iron gate of the agricultural machinery station hard.
The iron gate made a loud noise, but there was still no movement inside the agricultural machinery station.
Su Nanzhi stepped forward and stopped the grumpy straw hat uncle from taking the next action.
"Uncle, please don't be angry."
"I think even if the people from the agricultural machinery station come out, they probably won't be able to fix the tractor."
"Otherwise, why haven't we sent a maintenance technician to the countryside to repair the tractor in all these days?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Straw Hat sighed heavily.
How could they not know this? If the people at the agricultural machinery station could repair tractors, would they still need to squat at the door of the agricultural machinery station?
It's just that people always have a hope for the best.
What if something happens?
"But it's not the fault of the staff at the agricultural machinery station. They didn't do it on purpose, did they? If they could have fixed it for everyone, they wouldn't have delayed it for so long."
Su Nanzhi looked understanding, and Gu Poguan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard these words when he came back from buying popsicles.
The last time he saw Su Nanzhi like this, Liu Shengli was taken to the Public Security Bureau the next day.
Although he didn't know what Su Nanzhi was planning this time, he loved to watch the fun.
Su Nanzhi took the popsicle from Gu Poguan's hand and gave one to each of the dozen or so people standing at the entrance of the agricultural machinery station.
As she distributed the news, she smiled and said, "Everyone eat a popsicle to quench their thirst. Seeing everyone like this, I thought of our village chief."
"Because the tractor broke down, I was sick in bed for several days and now I can't get out of bed. I lie in bed with my eyes closed and worry about what to do if the tractor breaks down."
"Everyone, please don't get too hot, or you'll end up losing more than you gain."
Those who originally wanted to reject Su Nanzhi's kindness couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their faces after hearing her words.
This weather is really torturous.
Everyone took the popsicles from Su Nanzhi without hesitation, and their impression of Su Nanzhi changed from a stranger to a generous and kind little girl.
Su Nanzhi also took a bite of the popsicle and then breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
"It would be great if we could use tractors during the three raids in the future, so we wouldn't have to work so hard."
As she reacted, she immediately added, "But this tractor has to be usable by then. If not, it has to be repairable."
When everyone heard Su Nanzhi's somewhat naive words, they couldn't help but laugh in good faith.
The short and stocky man said, "You little girl, it's fun, but the tractor in our county is broken, and I guess the agricultural machinery stations in other counties are not much better."
The old man in the straw hat was as irritable as ever. "What's the big deal about tractors? They use all that expensive oil every day, and they'll die after just a few days. It'd be better to raise a few more cows. At least they can still eat meat when they die."
The middle-aged man in a gown had a gloomy expression on his face. "I heard that the tractors used by our county's agricultural machinery station are produced in a nearby county. Other counties should also use the same tractors as ours."
Su Nanzhi took the last bite of the popsicle and looked curious.
"Why don't you go to Zhoushan County to buy tractors?"
"I see there's a tractor factory in Zhoushan County too."
The short and stocky man said, "Little girl, you know a lot, but you don't know that the Zhoushan County Tractor Factory doesn't produce walk-behind tractors. Our agricultural machinery station simply can't afford the tractors they produce, and our terrain isn't suitable for their tractors."
The middle-aged man nodded. "That's right. If the tractor factory in Zhoushan County also produced walk-behind tractors, the tractor factory in the neighboring county wouldn't be getting worse year by year. Isn't it because they think they're the only one producing tractors nearby that they're so arrogant?"
Su Nanzhi looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. She didn't expect that the middle-aged man knew so much.
"But when I was in Zhoushan County, I saw the walking tractor they produced."
"And their workers were sitting on the back of the truck, announcing that their tractor factory wanted to produce walking tractors."
After hearing what Su Nanzhi said, the people around her were not interested.
After all, even if the Zhoushan County Tractor Factory builds airplanes, it has nothing to do with them as long as the airplanes don't land at their doorstep.
Su Nanzhi blinked and continued, "And that walking tractor is really cheap, only about 2,000 yuan or something? They say it has a lifetime warranty, and they even provide training for tractor drivers."
It cost 2,000 yuan, came with a lifetime warranty, and also included training for tractor drivers, so everyone immediately became interested.
"Really only 2,000 yuan?"
"What is a lifetime warranty? Does it last a lifetime?"
"You're still training tractor drivers? How can I become a tractor driver?"
…
Everyone started talking one after another, and soon they surrounded Su Nanzhi and started asking questions.
If Gu Poguan, who was standing aside, didn't know Su Nanzhi's intention yet, it would be a waste that he and Su Nanzhi had known each other for so long.
We hadn't seen each other for a while, so how did Su Nanzhi get in touch with Zhoushan County Tractor Factory?
"How do you know so clearly?"
The middle-aged man looked at Su Nanzhi warily.
Su Nanzhi looked harmless and said, "I have a friend who works at the Zhoushan County Tractor Factory. He told me everything."
Then she smacked her head and smiled a huge grin.
"Why didn't I think of that? If the repairman at the agricultural machinery station can't fix the tractor, the tractor factory can definitely do it, right?"
"I'm going to ask someone to ask my friend to take some time off and come to our village to repair the tractor."
