Qian Guixiang saw Yao Qiyue, squeezed through the crowd and pulled her to the front.
"July, come to my place. The view here is great."
"The tractor will come soon and you'll be the first to see it."
The villagers got up so early and stood at the village entrance just to see the tractor.
Tractors were a rarity at that time.
It would be even better if you could drive a tractor.
Yao Qiyue had just stood there for less than five minutes when she heard the sound of a tractor coming from the distance.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
“Boom boom boom…”
The tractor came closer and closer, and when it reached the village entrance, it slowly stopped.
When the tractor stopped, a middle-aged man in gray work clothes jumped down from it.
"Fellow villager, this is Yanjiang Village, right?"
Ji Ping stepped out with a smile: "Right, right, right."
"Comrade, you've come so early, thank you for your hard work."
"I am Ji Ping, the captain of Yanjiang Village."
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "It's not hard, it's not hard, we are all serving the people."
"My last name is Liu, you can just call me Master Liu. Our leader said I'll be working in Yanjiang Village for two days. Could you please arrange a place for me to stay at night, Captain Ji?"
Ji Ping: "Master Liu, don't worry, I have arranged the place."
Master Liu didn't hesitate. He greeted him and asked, "Captain, please get in the car. Let's go to the fields to work now."
When Ji Ping heard that he could ride a tractor, his eyes lit up.
The children in the village exclaimed: "Wow..."
“It can be used as a tractor.”
"This tractor is really big!"
“I want to be a tractor, too.”
Ji Ping tried to keep a straight face and glanced at the crowd: "Go, go, go, hurry back to work."
"You guys are surrounding the tractor. The tractor won't work."
After Ji Ping finished speaking, none of the children who were circling the tractor left.
There were even children around twelve or thirteen years old who were touching and poking around the tractor.
Ji Ping's face darkened as he shouted, "Get out of the way! If you delay the busy farming season, I'll beat you up door to door."
Ji Ping's face darkened and he frightened the children.
After all, he is the village leader, and his words are quite authoritative.
The children were also afraid of Ji Ping's gloomy face, so they reluctantly made way for the tractor.
It was obvious that the driver, Master Liu, was already accustomed to this scene.
This happens almost every time he goes to a village.
You have to know that there are only two tractors in the entire county.
He is one of them. As a tractor driver, he makes his whole family proud when he tells others about it.
Master Liu couldn't help but pat the steering wheel in front of him complacently, and drove the tractor out of the village with his head held high.
Yao Qiuyue got up early just to take a look at the tractor.
She pressed her temples helplessly and felt a headache.
There are many large agricultural machines in modern times, such as sprayers, rotary tillers, threshers, and harvesters.
Now there is none, and even the plows are pulled by oxen.
Yao Qiyue glanced at Jiang Ye who was standing beside her.
Jiang Ye and Lu Zhian are talents of the country. If they had not wasted these ten years in the countryside.
Instead, if we develop what we have learned and thought in various fields, the country will only progress faster.
Yao Qiyue's desire to leave Yanjiang Village became stronger.
At this time, Jiang Ye was looking at the tractor going away and seemed to be thinking about something.
The foreign books that Jiang Ye had translated before were not completely useless.
Many of them are scientific journals published abroad.
He knew that industries were developed abroad and there were even schools specializing in industrial design.
The country is not perfect in this regard and many large machines are also lacking.
Jiang Ye looked at the villagers and found it strange that they were looking at a tractor. Some factories abroad have already implemented industrial automation.
Jiang Ye felt emotional, and the idea that he should not give up studying came to his mind.
…
With the help of tractors, the village can do as much work in one day as the entire village does in a week.
Every day before going to work, everyone would gather around the tractor and take a curious look at it.
The next morning, the tractor stalled in the field after working just one acre.
Master Liu came down to check it out and tried to reinsert the big iron key into the engine, but it took him a long time.
The engine made a rumbling sound and then stalled, and wouldn't start at all.
Master Liu was sweating profusely.
Ji Ping saw from a distance that the engine was not moving, and quickly called out to the people around him: "Quick, go over and see if there is something wrong with the tractor."
Ji Ping managed to run across the bumpy fields for a distance of a hundred meters and still managed to get onto flat ground.
The villagers of Yanjiang Village looked stunned: "No, Captain, we don't know how to repair tractors!"
As Master Liu tried to start the tractor several times, thick black smoke rose up.
Yao Qiyue and Jiang Ye saw villagers rushing towards the tractor from all directions not far away.
The two followed the crowd.
The young and strong villagers ran fast and had surrounded the tractor.
Ji Ping was no longer young after all, so he ran to the tractor, supported his knees and gasped for breath.
"Master Liu...Master Liu...Master, what's wrong with this tractor? What's wrong?"
Master Liu's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
He thought that his job was over and he had failed to protect the country's property.
Master Liu blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. I was too tired last night and went to bed early. I forgot to check if there was enough water in the tractor's water tank."
Master Liu scratched his hair in frustration, he was so upset that he was about to cry.
Ji Ping asked patiently, "Master Liu, what should we do now? Do you have any solution?"
"It's okay, just tell us and we'll figure out a solution."
Master Liu grabbed Ji Ping's arm and asked hopefully, "Captain, is there anyone in your village who can repair tractors?"
Ji Ping looked at Master Liu in disbelief: "Do you think we can fix this thing?"
He doesn't even know that a tractor has a water tank, so how can he fix it?
Besides, doesn’t he know what the people in the village are like?
He knew exactly who had what skills, and there was really no one in Yanjiang Village who could repair a tractor.
Jiang Ye and Yao Yao Qiyue, who rushed over, knew what was going on as soon as they heard it.
Jiang Ye took the initiative to step forward and said, "Comrade, I'm a graduate of the Physics Department of Jing City. Can I take a look at this tractor?"
When Master Liu heard that Jiang Ye was a college graduate from Beijing, a light appeared in his dull eyes.
His voice trembled with excitement: "Comrade, can you repair tractors?"
Jiang Ye shook his head: "I don't know how to repair it."
Ji Ping: "Comrade Jiang, don't be so modest. Even in this remote area of ours, everyone knows that the universities in Beijing are the best."
