Chapter 243 The Young Wife Is Easy to Coax
When Gao Mingcheng drove his brand new tractor back to the village, it naturally caused a commotion.
Gao Mingcheng had driven a pickup truck back to the village before, and of course was surrounded by the villagers. Later, Xiao Jinfeng drove a brand new Yellow River car into the village, which also opened the villagers' eyes.
But no matter how good those cars were, they were never as good as the tractor that Gao Mingcheng bought himself.
The appearance of the Jiangxi Fengshou 180 is very nice. The front of the vehicle has two small and two large rubber wheels. The rear cargo bed is also relatively large, which can transport people and goods.
"Gao Mingcheng, you bought a tractor! This tractor looks great, much better than the ones in our brigade!"
"Tsk! The tractors in the brigade were all bought in the 1970s. When they arrived at the brigade, they were second-hand. How could they be as good-looking as these new ones?"
"That's right. The tractors in the brigade are walk-behind tractors, which are difficult to drive and slow. This truck looks good. When it entered the village just now, it seemed to be moving at a pretty fast speed!"
The villagers gathered around the Jiangxi Fengshou 180, pointing and talking about it, but most of them were praising it.
Someone even asked Gao Mingcheng how much he spent on the car, and Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "All the money I earned from selling medicinal herbs is here."
"Oh, then you have made a lot of money. This tractor must be worth at least three or four thousand!" Someone gasped, feeling that Gao Mingcheng had made a lot of money.
He was envious at first, but then he remembered that Gao Mingcheng had already used the money to buy a tractor, so his envious look subsided.
Gao Mingcheng smiled but said nothing. He certainly earned more than that, but he didn't say it!
The tractor he bought was considered a more fashionable model at that time. It was easier to drive and faster than a walk-behind tractor. However, when it came to plowing fields, it was actually not as good as a walk-behind tractor.
The main body of the walk-behind tractor has just two small wheels, which can be removed at the back and equipped with other agricultural machinery. It can then become a rotary tiller, thresher, seeder, etc. It has a much wider range of applicability than three-wheeled or four-wheeled tractors.
If you need to cultivate land, you have to buy a walk-behind tractor. However, Gao Mingcheng bought it mainly for transportation. He only has one acre of land. As for the reclaimed wasteland, the terrain is uneven and not connected, so it is actually not suitable for working with agricultural machinery.
In hilly areas, many crops still have to be planted and harvested manually, unlike in the plains where it would be much more convenient as long as you can afford machines.
"Mingcheng, this is the first time I see this vehicle. Can you tell me how it is different from the brigade's tractor?" asked an elderly elder. He was also from the eldest son's family and was a relative of Gao Mingcheng.
When Gao Mingcheng saw people asking about it, he started talking about the advantages and disadvantages of this tractor. The advantages are that it has a twin-cylinder engine design with a large torque output, and it is very durable. The gearbox, rear axle, etc. will never have any problems in their lifetime.
Of course, there are disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the engine is too small, and if the car breaks down, it is the engine that breaks down, because other parts are too strong and cannot break down!
The villagers could not understand some of the professional terms at all, and they felt a sense of authority. But when they heard Gao Mingcheng say that the car was sturdy and would not break down, they did understand.
They, the country folk, like things that are sturdy and durable the most!
Gao Mingcheng entered the village in the evening and was surrounded by people at the entrance of the village. They talked for a long time until dark, when the crowd dispersed and Gao Mingcheng was able to return home.
When he drove the tractor back, many bees already knew that he had bought a tractor.
But she did not join in the fun, but cooked at home. Now that the food was ready, when she saw Gao Mingcheng coming back, a half-smile appeared on her face.
Gao Mingcheng's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
I'm not afraid of my wife laughing, I'm not afraid of my wife crying, I'm just afraid of my wife smiling half-smile!
Although Gao Mingcheng is a straight man and was even a bit of a scumbag in his previous life, he has learned from his mistakes. Now he quickly recalled what he had done and quickly found the problem.
He said quickly, "Duomei, it's not that I don't want to discuss it with you, but Uncle Guobing just happens to have connections. If I buy it, it will be cheaper than others. I often go to the county, and I have to collect and sell medicinal herbs every year. It's really inconvenient without a car. I can't afford a pickup truck or a jeep, but I can still buy a tractor."
"Oh, by the way, the last time I chatted with Uncle Shouwang, he mentioned that he wanted to buy a tractor so that he could transport goods in the future. However, all his money has been invested in the factory, so he can't spare the money to buy one for the time being. I was thinking, when you go to the county to do business at the end of the year, how are you going to transport so many clothes? Calling a tractor will cost money, and it may not be convenient in terms of time."
"Now that my family has a car, it is much more convenient to do whatever I want. When the fruit trees in the mountains bear fruit, they need to be transported to the county in time to sell for money."
"This year during the Chinese New Year, I can take you to visit the New Year on a tractor!"
Gao Mingcheng spoke a lot, full of desire to survive.
The couple is one, and the tractor is a large item. He forgot to discuss it with Mei before buying it. Later he found it inconvenient without a car, so he decided to buy it on the spur of the moment.
Well, this is the disadvantage of having money in your own hands. You always forget to discuss it with your partner.
Although many beauties have a hot temper, that is only when they are at a disadvantage. Now, after hearing Gao Mingcheng's explanation full of desire to survive, the slight depression in their hearts dissipated.
She looked at him coquettishly and said, "You said before that the money earned from selling medicine would be used for decoration and buying fruit trees. Now you bought a tractor, do you have any money left?"
"Yes, yes. Don't worry about that." Gao Mingcheng nodded immediately, and then seeing that Xuanyuemei was no longer angry, he said, "I'm so hungry. My stomach is growling with hunger. Let's eat first."
By mealtime, many of the beautiful attitudes were the same as before.
Xuanyue had never cared about Gao Mingcheng's money, and she had known since she was a child that Gao Mingcheng was a person with his own ideas, so she was quite generous and kind.
She even said, "I still have 500 yuan in my hand. If you need money, just take it from me."
She didn't care about Gao Mingcheng's money, and Gao Mingcheng didn't care about her money either, and even gave her some pocket money from time to time.
Manyu Mei would not spend money recklessly, nor did she have the opportunity to do so, so the money was basically kept in her small wooden box.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed directly. He knew that this was Manyime's concern for him.
The couple talked while eating. After the meal, he went to move the rice in the tractor bucket to the granary.
In fact, we can't eat much of these 500 kilograms of rice, as we have to pay the public grain tax soon. After paying the public grain tax, the rest will be sent to the workshop for milling and then kept for our own consumption.
Gao Mingcheng said to Xuanyuemei again: "Mingli will live in the county in the future. I will go to the old house now and ask my parents to prepare Mingli's bedding, sweet potatoes, dried vegetables and other things in advance."
