The educated youths had their fill of eating and were very motivated in the afternoon. The cotton on the farm was soon piled up into a small hill.
Xiao Jiahua was not in a hurry to leave, but he did not keep himself idle either.
She found the cotton farmer next door, borrowed an old tractor, and joined the bustling harvest team.
The structure of the old-style tractor was quite "unique". After all, Xiao Jiahua had driven a Maserati and a Phantom, so he learned by analogy and after trying it twice, he finally mastered it.
The experienced driver with more than ten years of driving experience was finally put to work. She drove a tractor to help the farm transport cotton back and forth, and became a female tractor driver praised by everyone.
Unfortunately, the young wife had never touched water before, and after only two hours, the excitement turned into boredom.
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Jiahua worked until the sun set. Then he rubbed his sore arms and climbed down from the tractor with the help of Tong Qifang.
She said weakly, "Team Leader Meng, we'll go back first. If you need us, we'll come back to help tomorrow."
The two female comrades, covered in dust and dirt, did not forget to take away the used oil paper so as not to leave any garbage in the cotton field.
No matter how prejudiced he was, Meng Jianshe couldn't say anything unkind at this moment.
After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Ladies, are you...so confident in our long-staple cotton?"
Xiao Jiahua immediately encouraged him: "Of course! Although some of the technologies are not mature enough now, I believe that in the future, the planting area of frontier long-staple cotton, the national utilization rate, and even the export volume will have a qualitative leap!
"Of course, the scientists at the Frontier Agricultural Reclamation Research Institute and you practical experts are the biggest heroes behind the scenes!"
Meng Jianshe: "... stop flattering me. Your tricks work for students but not for me."
“……”I was actually seen through.
Xiao Jiahua didn't mind. He turned around and shrugged, planning to ride back to the guesthouse with Tong Qifang.
Suddenly, Meng Jianshe called them.
"Hey, you two, gather your spirits and follow me to the lying corps. I'll take you to see the company commander first!"
Xiao Jiahua held the cart and looked at Tong Qifang in surprise.
"What's the matter with you going to the company?"
Xiao Jiahua worked for half a day and felt exhausted. She planned to sleep until noon the next day, and the "come back tomorrow" she said before was actually a courtesy.
Meng Jianshe couldn't help rolling his eyes and lost his temper.
"What else can we do? Of course, we should report to the experts of the Agricultural Reclamation Research Institute and the leaders of the Corps and discuss with them how to transport the long-staple cotton to your Taifeng County!"
Xiao Jiahua was stunned.
This... looks like it's about to break up? !
·
With Meng Jianshe's matchmaking, the formal procurement work went much more smoothly.
The company commander in charge of this area of the No. 1 Agricultural Division was named Jiang Taichuan. As his name suggests, he is an honest and pragmatic man from the Northwest.
Captain Jiang has a standard square face and heroic eyebrows. Not only does he not have official airs, he is also extremely respectful to the experts in the agricultural reclamation research team.
He listened carefully to Meng Jianshe's proposal and looked at Xiao Jiahua and Tong Qifang in disbelief.
"You mean to say that you want to purchase our long-staple cotton for the production of new work cloth?"
Tong Qifang, the factory director, quickly showed his testimony and the letter of introduction from the Taifeng County Government, "Yes, Captain Jiang, it's genuine."
Xiao Jiahua also took out the purchase list that she had prepared overnight, which clearly listed the types, quantities, and specifications of the long-staple cotton they wanted.
"So many?" Jiang Taichuan asked cautiously, "Are you reactionaries trying to maliciously acquire the cotton and short the cotton price under the banner of Taifeng County?"
"How is that possible!" Xiao Jiahua admired the company commander's imagination.
