Chapter 212: The Educated Youth of the 1970s is a Little Arrogant
"Lin Zhiqing, get out of my way and let me try!"
The village chief looked at the corn thresher, and when he heard that Lin Wanwan made it herself, he became even more itchy.
After Lin Wanwan gave up her seat, he couldn't wait to sit in the seat where Lin Wanwan had just sat, and imitated her and used the thresher in a very professional manner.
"Lin Zhiqing, this thing you made is really useful! One machine can replace the work of several people!"
The village chief threshed more than ten corns in a row before stopping.
Looking at this small machine, I really like it.
"This thing is made from some iron sheets and steel that I collected from the scrap yard. If the village needs it, I can make a few more."
When you have enough strength, no one will say anything even if you are lazy.
But when you do your job poorly but are often lazy, people may not be able to stand it.
Lin Wanwan is demonstrating her own value and making the villagers value her existence.
"Yes, I'll give you leave tomorrow, and you can go and make a few more."
"With this thing, we will definitely be the first to pay our taxes this year."
The first one to pay public grain and pay enough will get a lot of extra points when the village is selected for advanced collective honors.
During this period, every village has been working hard, hoping to be selected as an advanced collective.
The village that receives this honor not only has a better reputation, but also has practical benefits.
When wages are paid, all villagers will receive additional work points.
Otherwise, the villagers would not work hard for this honor.
"Okay, but you better approve another person for me, Village Chief. If I go to town alone, it will be difficult to bring back the stuff even if I make it."
Compared to working in the fields, Lin Wanwan prefers to go out and have fun.
Making a few small threshers was no big deal for her. It was much more comfortable than working in the threshing ground in the wind and sun.
"Then I'll assign Yao Zhiqing to you. You two will go to town together tomorrow."
"Also, how much does it cost to make a thresher like this? You can calculate it and come to me for reimbursement."
After the village chief finished explaining the tasks, he directed other villagers to work.
Lin Wanwan returned home and opened the letters sent to her by several friends.
Reading through the letters one by one, I found some money in each one, some in larger amounts, all gifts from friends.
Lin Wanwan was very happy for the original owner.
Sure enough, kind people always make kind friends.
These little girlfriends were really nice to the original owner. Not only did they tell her about the big and small things happening in Beijing, they also sent her a lot of bills.
I put the things away one by one, and then wrote down what the other person gave me in a small notebook.
When she gets the chance, she'll have to pay it back double.
This is Lin Wanwan’s principle in life.
Even though she sent the other party a large bag of things, the value of these things here is not high.
I picked up the dried mushrooms in the mountains and dried them in the sun. I hunted the bacon, pickled it, and dried it. I bought the peanuts from a fellow villager. The whole big sack didn't cost much.
Compared with the money and messages sent by the other party, it is not worth mentioning at all.
The next day, Yao Liming knocked on Lin Wanwan's door early in the morning.
This was his first time coming to where Lin Wanwan lived. Looking at the clean and tidy courtyard, he felt a little envious.
But after thinking about his own situation, Yao Liming gave up the idea of renting a yard to live alone.
His situation was different from Lin Wanwan's. He had lived in the educated youth home for a long time and had many good brothers.
If he moves out, there will definitely be several people who want to move in with him.
At that time, there will still be a lot of people living under one roof, and there will be no difference overall.
"Yao Zhiqing, wait for me for a moment. I'm going to borrow a bicycle from Accountant Qian."
Lin Wanwan slung over her shoulder bag, put on her hat, turned around and locked the gate.
"No need, I rode the bicycle in the Youth League compound."
This bicycle was modified by Yao Zhiqing himself after he found an abandoned bicycle at a scrap yard.
Although it took him a long time to collect such a bicycle.
But at least the bicycle assembled in this way does not require a ticket and does not cost much money, it just takes some time.
"Are there any bicycles left in the Youth League compound?"
"Since we have a car, let's go. Let's go earlier, finish earlier, and come back earlier."
Lin Wanwan peeked outside and saw that there was indeed a bicycle leaning against the courtyard wall.
She thought to herself, if everyone in the Youth League had bicycles, could she get one too?
There are quite a few bicycles stored in the space, both new and old, in order to cope with different scenarios in different environments.
"This car was assembled by the comrades from the Youth League Institute who went to the scrap yard in advance to find scrap cars. It didn't cost much."
Yao Liming did not hide the origin of the bicycle and drove Lin Wanwan towards the town.
At this time in the village, everyone was busy.
Some people saw the two of them from behind and felt envious, but didn't say anything.
The villagers all saw the thresher yesterday. They thought that Lin Zhiqing was very capable and could make such a rare thing.
They can't do that. They are just peasants and can do nothing but work hard.
So there is no need to be jealous of others, just do your own thing.
"Here we are. What materials do you need? I'll help you find them."
Yao Liming parked his bicycle in front of the scrap yard, and then the two of them walked in together.
The old man at the scrap yard had already met Lin Wanwan yesterday, so after listening to their request, he let them find it themselves.
There are quite a few people who come to the scrap yard to look for materials, almost every day. If it weren't for the recent busy farming season, he would not be idle here.
"Find some thicker iron sheets like this, and some stronger steel like this. Let's get some more today."
"Pick up some steel bars like these. We can make a three-person grain thresher later."
While looking for materials, Lin Wanwan explained to Yao Liming what was needed.
"You mean the rice and wheat thresher?"
That kind of thresher has appeared on the market a long time ago, but it needs to be plugged in, so even though it has a simple structure, no one can imitate it.
"Yes, I have a small motor there, enough for our village to assemble a grain thresher."
Lin Wanwan answered casually, and then concentrated on finding materials.
"Lin Zhiqing, how come you can do everything? Is your family involved in electromechanical machinery?"
This was the first time that Yao Liming became curious about a female educated youth. There were many female educated youth in the educated youth compound who liked Yao Liming, but he was not attracted to any of them.
In addition, he saw through all the little thoughts of those female educated youth.
She said she liked him, but it was obvious that she just liked his family background and the money in his hands.
But his family had strictly forbade him to find a girlfriend in the countryside, and everything had to wait until he returned to the city.
Yao Liming also didn't want to find a partner in the countryside. If he had that much time, he might as well find a way to make more money!
