Lin Ying was overjoyed.
Is it strenuous?
Zhao Qinghuai also found it incredible. He waved his hand and said, "It's effortless at all, and it's even less effort when the gears are turning."
Zhang Shanlin watched the entire experiment. He couldn't wait to run up to Zhao Qinghuai, tell Zhao Qinghuai to get down, and then he would step on it himself. Compared to pulling a plow, this was much easier.
It's just two pedals, even simpler than riding a bicycle. Just pedal from one side to the other.
Excited, Lin Ying had already been pulled in front of Zhang Shanlin. Seeing Zhang Shanlin like this, Lin Ying quickly stopped him: "Minister Zhang, that's enough!"
Zhang Shanlin then realized what was happening, chuckled, and stepped down from above.
Without Zhang Shanlin stepping on it, Lin Ying pulled it to a stop in place.
Zhang Shanlin looked at Lin Ying with admiration: "How come you're so smart? You actually came up with this? This is so much easier than a person pulling a plow, no, it's even less strenuous than an ox."
There were many military wives and their children around here.
Lin Ying untied the plow and then told the children how to play with it, and then let them play.
One child was riding on it, and another child had tied a skateboard to a rope. Sitting on the skateboard, they pulled and went far away.
Later, the children simply tied skateboards together one after another and strung them together to make a string of candied hawthorns.
The little kids weren't strong enough, so the older kids took turns stepping on them. They were having so much fun.
Zhang Shanlin opened his mouth, wanting to say not to break it, but then he thought that it was made by Lin Ying, and since she wanted the child to play with it, he couldn't say anything.
"Um, Comrade Lin Ying, this thing..."
Before Zhang Shanlin could finish speaking, Lin Ying knew what he was going to say: "I'll give you the blueprints, and you can find someone to make them. I can't make that many by myself."
Zhang Shanlin immediately cheered: "Great! Great!"
However, Zhao Qinghuai said, "Don't rush. Send the draft and report to the higher-ups first, and we'll talk about it after it's approved."
Zhang Shanlin immediately said, "Yes, yes, that's how it should be."
Zhao Qinghuai looked at Lin Ying and said, "Don't rush, let's wait for the documents to be issued from above before we proceed."
Lin Ying knew that Zhao Qinghuai was protecting her, so she naturally didn't object: "Okay."
Soon, the results were given from above, and Zhang Shanlin went to the carpenters at the forest farm to begin mass production.
Moreover, the commander on the farm saw the blueprints. These weren't difficult to make, and they started manufacturing the pedal wheels before even starting to plow the land.
Finally, at the end of March, after the ground thawed, Zhao Qinghuai led his troops to the farm once again.
Lin Ying, along with the others from the compound, eight cooks, and the logistics officers, arrived at the army's reclaimed land.
The reclaimed land was located on the road from the military compound to the troops.
There are open spaces on both sides of the road, which can be fully utilized.
Of course, there may be other buildings in the future, but for now, it's better to farm.
After gathering everyone, Zhang Shanlin began the mobilization meeting: "Before coming here, I'm sure you all knew what we were going to do. I won't go into details. Today, I mainly want to introduce our team leader and planting consultant, Comrade Lin Ying. Let's give her a round of applause!"
Before he came, Zhang Shanlin had already spoken to each family about this matter. This was considered as a job arrangement for everyone, with each person receiving 35 yuan a month and all the necessary benefits.
Many of the military spouses come from rural areas and find farming easy. Plus, the 35 yuan a month is much better than what they earned at home. Moreover, unlike at home where work points are used, they receive wages just like factory workers.
Not only do they still receive their monthly food allowance, but they also get a salary. Who wouldn't be tempted?
As for Lin Ying becoming the group leader, no one felt there was anything wrong with it. After all, she said it was about planting medicinal herbs. These people didn't know anything about planting medicinal herbs, so what was wrong with listening to her?
Therefore, apart from Su Yun who was somewhat reluctant, everyone else present clapped happily.
As for Suyun, without Cheng Jiaojiao by her side, Suyun always looked resentful. At first, the military wives felt sorry for her, but after a while, they stopped talking to her. Who would deliberately make themselves unhappy every day?
People were having a good time, but after listening to your complaints, who can still be happy?
Knowing that these military wives were no pushovers and worried about causing trouble later, Zhang Shanlin decided to be upfront: "I won't hide anything from you all. You all earn 35 yuan a month working here. Comrade Lin Ying earns 45 yuan a month. Ten yuan of that is because she's a technical consultant. Don't wait until payday and see that she earns more than you, and then feel resentful."
"If anyone brings this up with me, I definitely won't let the consultant leave."
Zhang Shanlin didn't need to say who should leave; everyone understood.
