"Uncle, can you still open it tomorrow?" Yuanbao asked hurriedly.
"Tomorrow..." Song Aiguo paused, then said, "Not necessarily tomorrow. If you want to see it, there will be another chance in the future. Don't worry."
The younger children were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they quickly calmed down. After all, their uncle wasn't sure what he said, so maybe it would still work. If that didn't work, they could just pretend the person sitting on top was their uncle.
After the meal, the children pestered Song Aiguo for a while, asking him to tell them about his feelings at that time. Song Aiguo did not refuse and patiently and seriously told them the story.
The little ones all looked amazed and listened very attentively.
......
The night passed quickly, and Song Yuangang got up early the next morning. He originally wanted to go to the town to pick up Master Cao, but then he thought that they should be back soon, so he decided to wait a while before going.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Fengchun came back with Master Cao.
Song Yuangang hurried over. Master Cao had a white bandage on his head and gauze wrapped around his arm, and he looked a little weak. Song Yuangang helped him to sit on a stool and asked with concern:
"Are you okay? Is everything okay?"
Master Cao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Thank you, Captain Song, for your concern."
Li Fengchun also said: "The doctor said it's nothing serious, but I can't do strenuous exercise and I need to get enough rest."
Song Yuangang nodded, feeling relieved.
"By the way, how is the brigade's land? Has it not been watered yet? I'm back now, let's go and finish watering the rest. Otherwise, it would be a pity if the crops die of drought." Master Cao had been thinking about this matter and said quickly.
"It's done. I watered the rest yesterday. You can rest assured."
However, they had acted on their own initiative and started the pump without Master Cao's consent, so Song Yuangang said, "Yesterday, a member of the team drove the pump to help finish it. He had learned to drive with his brother before, so everyone in the team told him to try. Unexpectedly, he succeeded in a few tries, so we watered the rest of the land together."
"Is it Comrade Aiguo?" Master Cao thought of Song Aiguo as soon as he heard it. He had asked him questions before and he had an impression of Song Aiguo.
"Yes, it's him."
Master Cao smiled with satisfaction: "He is indeed smart. It is thanks to him that we were able to get started so quickly. Otherwise, there would still be a lot of unwatered land left in the fields."
Seeing that he was not angry but very happy instead, Song Yuangang felt relieved.
It was time for breakfast. After Zhang Aiyu brought the food into the main room, she called them to come and eat. Song Aiguo pulled Li Fengchun and said, "Fengchun, don't leave. Let's eat together here."
Li Fengchun was of course too embarrassed to stay, so he quickly declined, "I've already prepared something at home, and it's waiting for me to eat when I get home. I won't stay, you guys enjoy yourselves."
After saying that, he didn't give Song Yuangang a chance to keep him and ran away.
After breakfast, Song Yuangang was worried about the Yuejin Production Brigade. A few days ago, he had agreed to lend them the machine for a few days after the Hongqi Production Brigade finished watering the land. However, Master Cao was still injured, so he couldn't just ask him to work. But asking Song Aiguo to come was somewhat inappropriate.
Just as Song Yuan was thinking, Master Cao spoke first: "By the way, I remember you said a few days ago that you were going to help out at the production brigade next door, right?"
Song Yuan just came back to his senses: "Yes, that's true, but the doctor said you can't overwork, you need to rest more..."
Master Cao interrupted Song Yuangang and said, "Hey, isn't there a patriotic comrade? Since he's already got the hang of it, let him go if he wants. However, I'll still watch from the side first. At least I have more experience than him."
Hearing him say this, Song Yuangang became happy. In this way, the problem was solved immediately.
After that, he did not delay any further and went directly to Old Song's house to find Song Aiguo and told him about it. Song Aiguo was of course willing to help, especially since he could get guidance from Master Cao.
A few children who were standing nearby heard it and almost jumped up in excitement.
"Wow! We can go watch Uncle drive a big truck!"
"I'm not going to the back mountain to play today. I want to watch my uncle drive!"
"That's great, that's great, I can see it with my own eyes this time!"
“…”
Not long after, Song Aiguo simply packed up and went, and the younger ones immediately followed behind him. Even Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun, who were not there, went with him.
Soon the whole family went to Song Yuangang's house in a grand procession, and then Song Aiguo started the car in front of everyone, and then sat in it and drove towards Yuejin.
Headed towards the production brigade.
"Uncle is so majestic!"
"Dad is so awesome, my dad is the best!" Yun Duo also shouted happily.
"When school starts, I'll tell Li Jiyu and the others that my uncle can operate a water pump!"
"Not only my uncle, my dad can do it too, as well as my third and fourth uncles. They are all very good~!" Wenjie also said.
"right!"
"I...my dad can do it too...can he?" Tian'en asked expectantly with blinking eyes.
"Of course they did. They all learned from Fourth Uncle. My dad knows how to do it, so Second Uncle, Third Uncle and the others will definitely know how to do it too."
Tian'en and Baoya laughed even more happily when they heard this. Although they didn't see Song Jianye's performance, they believed that their father must be very powerful too~!
After such a joyful chat all the way, they soon arrived at the Yuejin Production Brigade. Song Aiguo drove the water pump in, attracting countless people's attention along the way.
"Hey, who is that?"
"What is he sitting on?"
"Could it be that water pump? I heard the Red Flag Production Brigade next door got a water pump, and it irrigated a third of the brigade's land in less than a day."
"Really? Then what is he going to do now? Is he going to help our team?"
Although the two brigades were not far from each other, the people in the Yuejin Production Brigade had heard about this incident to some extent. However, the recent drought was severe, and the soybeans in the fields were almost dead. So everyone was busy with drought relief. Even if they were curious, they had no time to go and learned very little about it.
Although Gao Zhifu had already discussed this with Song Yuangang, he was not in a hurry to tell the people in the team, for fear that something unexpected might happen. Therefore, the people in the Yuejin Production Team did not know that they were here to help.
After entering the Yuejin Production Brigade, Song Aiguo parked the car and got out with Master Cao, asking him some relevant questions. Master Cao answered them one by one. Song Yuangang went to the brigade headquarters and looked for Gao Zhifu.
Gao Zhifu was surprised to see someone coming: "You're here. Have you finished watering the fields in your team?"
"Yes, I've brought people here to help you. Let's see where to start."
"That's great!" Gao Zhifu was excited, but now was not the time to talk. Fighting the drought was the most important thing. So he didn't say any more polite words, and went out with his people to the place he had thought of before, and then called a large group of people to come together.
help.
Song Aiguo threw himself into the intense work, while Master Cao occasionally gave him some guidance. However, the people in the Yuejin Production Team were still a little confused and had not reacted.
"Is this the legendary water pump?"
"How do I use this? How do I water the plants with it?"
"I heard that using this to water the land is very fast, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"I heard that the fields of the Hongqi Production Brigade next door were all irrigated, and even with this, it took less than three days."
The people around were all shocked when they heard this: "Is this true? What...what kind of pump is this so fast?!"
"Will there be any problem?"
“…”
Their discussions reached the ears of Song Aiguo and Master Cao, but they didn't react. After all, they would find out whether it was true or not.
Baoya, Yuanbao and the other children stood aside and watched, their faces filled with excitement. Especially when they saw Yang Licai, Liu Dazhu and the others coming over, their chins unconsciously raised.
The news that a water pump had arrived in the brigade quickly spread throughout the Yuejin Production Brigade. When the children in the brigade heard about it, they were of course curious, so they all ran over, including Yang Licai, Liu Dazhu and a few others.
Seeing them, Yuanbao snorted and deliberately shouted: "Come on, uncle!"
Yang Licai and the others followed Yuanbao's gaze and saw Song Aiguo holding a pipe and putting it into the river. They felt a little scared, as they felt that the uncle of the younger brothers of the Song family seemed... a little powerful.
They didn't dare to say anything for a moment. After all, even though they were young, they knew the importance of drought resistance. Otherwise, the soybeans would die from drought and they would have no food to eat.
It didn't take long for Song Aiguo and Master Cao to put the pipes in place and start the engine. Perhaps because of his previous experience, Song Yuangang did it exceptionally smoothly this time.
A roar of "dengdengdeng" was heard, and soon white water sprayed out and flowed into the dry ground.
The people from the Yuejin Production Brigade were also seeing it for the first time, and their reaction was the same as that of the people from the Hongqi Production Brigade: they were all surprised.
"How...how did this water come out?"
"This machine is amazing! If it stops like this, it can suck water out of the river?"
"This is too fast. Won't our brigade's land be watered soon?"
“…”
Afterwards, Song Aiguo held the pipe and started irrigating. A steady stream of water flowed out, making the originally dry and hard land moist.
