Chapter 46 The whole village was shocked



Song Chu waited for Gu Yue to finish his meal, chatted for a few minutes and then left.

A lot of oil will be needed tomorrow, but the oil press workshop doesn’t have enough, so we have to work overtime tonight.

Originally, we could have talked to those factories and arranged to deliver the goods at different times, so that we could stagger the time and not be so tired.

However, since this is the first time to exchange oil for something, Song Chu still wants to make it bigger and more lively, so that the effect of adding all the things together will be particularly good, so he will send them all together tomorrow.

So she went straight to the oil press, where the nine men and three women were already working.

Tang Qing very attentively brought a chair over and said, "Boss, please sit down."

Song Chu didn't say anything and sat on a chair watching them press oil.

The dozen or so people here are all well organized and don't need her help.

Despite the constant eye contact from others, her cousin Tang Youhua looked at Song Chu and spoke.

"Chu Chu, can we really use this oil to exchange for things and tractors tomorrow?" Not to mention that the villagers didn't believe it, they were also skeptical.

This is something that has never been heard of.

Song Chu said lazily: "Yes, I was originally going to take you with me, but several village cadres want to go with us, and it's not good to have too many people, so you should stay and continue to squeeze out more oil."

"I'll share some of the oil with you when I bring the stuff back tomorrow. You've worked hard recently." Several people took turns to squeeze the oil these days.

Several people were disappointed to hear her say that. They also wanted to go and take a look, but the village cadres were following them, so it was difficult for them to snatch them away.

Tang Youhua smiled and said, "It would be great if we could really get something in exchange. We haven't worked too hard."

Compared to farming and digging the ground, working in an oil press workshop is actually easier and you don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun.

The others were still skeptical, but they couldn't help but get excited. They just hoped that they could really see Song Chu pulling the things back tomorrow.

Song Chu did not leave. He stayed with them and worked overtime until after eleven o'clock. He squeezed out all the oil that needed to be changed tomorrow, and then went back to sleep.

The next morning, she was planning to go cut grass for the pigs, but was stopped by the village cadres, and someone else was arranged to cut the grass today.

They didn't sleep well last night and kept thinking about the tractor, so they couldn't wait and asked Song Chu to get ready to leave early.

Song Chu also noticed their nervous and excited mood, so he took them to the oil press workshop and put barrels of squeezed oil on the ox cart.

Hundreds of kilograms of oil were difficult to carry on a bicycle, so everyone prepared to use the village's ox cart to deliver the goods, which meant they had to set off early.

There were only three bicycles in the village, and they all went out today. Song Chu sat behind her uncle's bicycle, and the other two cadres took two people with them.

Originally, Song Laosi and Tang Qing were not allowed to go, but they couldn't miss such excitement, so they borrowed a bicycle from somewhere and followed along.

Tang Ming was too lazy to care about them.

After arriving in the county town, Song Chu and her friends went to the machinery factory first.

Firstly, it is more convenient to use a tractor to pull other things than a ox cart, and secondly, several village cadres can’t wait any longer.

When we arrived at the entrance of the machinery factory, the old man guarding the door opened it enthusiastically.

"Young comrade, you are here." He heard Director Shi's instructions this morning, saying that someone was going to deliver oil to the factory, and asked them to let the person into the factory.

When they heard that these oil refineries would provide welfare benefits, they were naturally very happy.

Song Chu smiled and greeted politely, "Uncle, let's put the oil in the yard, I will go find Director Shi first."

The old man smiled and said, "Leave it there. I'll keep an eye on it for you. It won't get lost."

Song Chu took Tang Min and others to Director Shi's office.

Last night he asked his wife to fry some vegetables with oil. The taste was better than soybean oil. His son and daughter both loved it, so he was very happy.

They went downstairs together to test the 100 kilograms of oil that the machinery factory needed. He was very satisfied to see that every barrel was clear and mellow.

"Let's go and check out the tractor." He asked the logistics staff to take the oil away and said to Song Chu and the others with a smile.

Song Chu nodded, "Okay."

Several village cadres were very restrained when talking to Director Shi, and even Tang Min was no exception. After all, they had never dealt with cadres from these big factories before.

Watching Song Chu and Director Shi talking calmly, they couldn't help but have a new understanding of her.

The village cadres all thought to themselves that Song Chu was a really amazing girl and they had misjudged her before.

Director Shi had the tractor prepared long ago and it was now parked in an open space.

Originally, he was planning to lend the very old one that was recently eliminated to Song Chu and the others, but because of her conversation with Director Zhang yesterday, they discussed replacing it with a still-usable one that looked about 30% to 40% new.

When Song Chu looked at the tractor, he knew that yesterday’s conversation was not in vain. Director Shi and Director Zhang were both smart people.

Director Shi turned to Tang Ming and the others and said, "Who among you knows how to drive? Go up and try it first. We've already added oil."

Song Chu smiled and said, "No one in our village knows how to drive a tractor, so I will learn it first. I would also like to trouble Director Shi to arrange someone to teach me."

Director Shi was a little surprised, but soon smiled and said, "Okay, then you try it first."

He arranged for an experienced tractor driver to teach Song Chu. Everyone thought they would have to wait for a long time, and Director Shi was ready to go back to the office to rest, but who would have thought that she learned it in just a few minutes.

Seeing Song Chu driving the tractor in a very professional manner, everyone present didn't know what to say. He learned too quickly and too well.

Director Shi praised, "You are really amazing, young comrade."

Song Chu was much more modest in front of these people, "It's all thanks to this old comrade's good teaching."

The old comrade who taught Song Chu to drive the tractor straightened his chest. He liked to hear this. Song Chu was also the smartest and fastest learner he had ever taught. "It's also because this young comrade is smart and learns well."

After the oil and the tractor were inspected and accepted, Song Chu asked Song Laosi and others to move the remaining oil to the tractor and let the ox cart go back first.

Director Shi escorted them out of the factory and confirmed again: "Comrade Song, will the oil be delivered at the same time on the first of next month?"

Song Chu replied: "It's about this point."

Each employee of the oil machinery factory cannot get much of the oil this time, but it was agreed that this is enough for half a month.

From now on, 200 kilograms will be delivered on the first day of every month. In addition to lending a tractor, we will also help process the chick incubators that will be used in their chicken farm in the future free of charge.

Next, Song Chu drove a tractor and took Tang Min and others to the sugar factory, textile factory and furniture factory, delivered the oil, and then exchanged it for a truckload of things.

On the way back, Song Chu drove the tractor, and Tang Min and others followed behind on bicycles.

Looking at the tractor's back bag filled with things, the village cadres still felt it was a little unreal.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that it was so easy to exchange so many things for oil squeezed from wild fruits picked in the mountains.

The most important thing is that the factory leaders seemed to be quite polite and enthusiastic, and they inexplicably developed a sense of pride.

When the tractor drove into the village, just as Song Chu had expected, the whole village was in an uproar.
