Chapter 22, for the cultivator

As soon as the first day of the first month passes, the taste of the New Year fades, but the visit to relatives continues. Li's mother also left a few relatives, Li Ya and Li's father entertained a few waves of visitors, Li Ya's meat and vegetables were unanimously praised, after all, it is not so easy for other families to kill pigs for the New Year, and it is distressing to buy a little meat for the New Year.

After the Lantern Festival, Li Ya went to the county seat, and the target was the book of the scrap yard. Two horse-drawn carriages wandered to the county seat, and then inquired about the address of the scrap yard. Drive the wagon directly into the yard of the scrapyard.

There were two people at the scrap station, and Li Ya handed over a pack of good cigarettes, and then quietly communicated, and it was done. A few brothers went into the room where the waste was stacked, looking for what they needed, and Li Ya chatted with the two staff members. Then he saw that a number of furniture were very different, Li Ya took a closer look, and a staff member said: "Don't look at it, it's golden silk nanmu." ”

Li Ya was surprised: "Good guy, this is a golden silk nanmu, it is dedicated to the royal family, this tree is rare, it has always been a precious wood, and it will definitely be valuable in the future." The three of us simply divided it, took it home and sold it for the price. "Golden silk nanmu, how many ordinary people in later generations have seen it, let alone afford to use it.

The two shook their heads and said, "Our house is so big, and there is no place to hide it when we take it back, or you can just give some money and take it away, and we will sell waste products at the purchasing station." Li Ya rummaged through the entire acquisition station, and finally found a lot of things.

In the evening, when Li Ya's carriage was full of goods out of the acquisition station, the two staff members each held forty yuan in their hands and waved goodbye with a smile on their faces. Forty yuan, the two of them have a monthly salary of less than forty yuan, can they not be happy? Li Ya also smiled, any one of the things he was looking for in the carriage was worth forty yuan and dozens of times, making a lot of money!

Li Yuanjing smiled: "If I have money, I will buy it, good guy, it's all good things." ”

When he returned home, Li Ya counted and harvested more than a dozen porcelain with delicate texture, and there were nine pieces of porcelain that were settled. Six calligraphy and paintings, three pieces of jade, eight pieces of furniture, and four small boxes. Dad Li has seen it, the box is sandalwood, and the furniture mahogany, nanmu, and huanghuali are available. Dad Li sighed: "I'm afraid these have been copied from the entire county." "There are not many Huanghuali and Jin Sinan, and this is a remote area, and there are few wealthy families before liberation, so these valuables are naturally few.

With a harvest, Li Ya often runs to the county, and everyone needs to buy things and let Li Ya bring them by the way. Li Ya ran in the county for a few days, and when he saw the brand of the agricultural machinery factory in the suburbs that day, Li Ya remembered that he still wanted to ask about the small cultivator.

I went into the agricultural machinery factory and asked, but it could be built, but the agricultural machinery factory was produced according to the plan, and it would not produce the small cultivator that Li Ya said. Li Ya was helpless, got out of the agricultural machinery factory, and walked to the county revolutionary committee.

In front of the county revolutionary committee, as soon as Li Ya's carriage arrived, he was stopped, and the carriage was not allowed to enter, and asked Li Yadao: "Little comrade, are you here to do business? Do you have a letter of introduction?"

Li Ya didn't have a letter of introduction, so he had to say: "Hello, old comrade." There is no letter of introduction, I am just here to give advice to the director. ”

The old comrade of the doorman smiled: "I can't let you in without a letter of introduction, otherwise you will be criticized." But if you have any opinions, I'll see if I can, and I'll tell the director for you. ”

Li Ya sighed: "You may not be able to explain this clearly. Let me tell you, I don't think that our Yungui side is mountainous, most of the fields are on the slopes, and there is no road for tractors to go up. Each production team also has few cattle, so the land cannot be planted. ”

A voice next to him asked, "So you have a way?"

Li Ya turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a Mao suit standing on the side, the doorman hurriedly called the director, Li Ya smiled and said, "You are the director of the county, right?" Seeing the other party nodding, Li Ya continued: "Build a smaller cultivator, and people can carry it on their backs in places where they can't go." An ox can plough the ground, and a plougher with a few horsepower can plough it, right?"

The director nodded and said, "Good idea, do you have any blueprints?"

Li Ya said: "No, I simply drew one when I told them in the agricultural machinery factory just now, but they said that they went according to the plan and could not produce." ”

The director said: "Then go to the agricultural machinery factory to see, can you build one first, if it is successful, you can plant more in the mountainous area and it doesn't have to be so hard." ”

Li Ya drove the carriage around, and the director took the whip and said, "I don't think you know how to drive the carriage?" ”

Li Ya said: "I've been studying before, and I don't have it at home, I only learned it recently, and this carriage is still from the production team." ”

The director said: "When the carriage of the production team is idle, the members can borrow it, and they have to be responsible for the forage of the horses." ”

Li Ya smiled: "Of course, the situation of our production team is better, and we have to give the production team a five-corner piece every time we borrow it, so that we will not lose the public." ”

The director said: "You can give money or not, do what you can." By the way, you borrowed a car to come to the county just to build this cultivator?"

Li Ya saw that the director was also decent, and revealed slightly: "The main thing is to come to the scrap station to buy some books and papers." According to the estimation of the old people in the village, the college entrance examination will be resumed soon, and we are making preparations. The old people said that the production team's land is almost not enough to plant, and if you take a few more tests, the talents of the production team will not be hungry. ”

The director was surprised: "You old people there are amazing. I didn't even think about that. ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "The old people are only based on experience, director, you have to be busy with the big things of the county, and it's nothing to ignore this little thing." ”

The director said: "But you have all left the school, and the resumption of the college entrance examination is only for graduates." ”

Li Ya said: "Who knows? Besides, the country needs talents, and it must also ensure fairness, so that those of us who have graduated but have not had the opportunity to go to university also have a chance. ”

The director said: "No matter what happens in the future, I want to thank you for reminding me, there are still three unemployed young people in my family." Even if you can't take the test then, it's good to study more. ”

Li Ya came to the agricultural machinery factory again, and also brought the director of the county revolutionary committee, the director of the agricultural machinery factory met with the director, and said helplessly: "I thought about it again just now, even if it is built, those mountainous areas are already difficult to live, and there is no money to buy them." ”

Li Ya said: "Our production team can buy six, and the team can also buy a few, so you don't lose money, maybe there are other production teams to need? ”

The factory director roughly knew the cost, and was surprised: "Can your production team buy so much?"

Li Ya said modestly: "Our production team is basically sloping land, and everyone thinks that arable land is a big problem, and they will buy it if they tighten their belts." ”

The director said: "No matter what happens now, it will definitely be popularized in the future." If you build it early, you will have the technology in reserve. Lao Wang, recruit technicians to study and study, Xiao Li, you also participate, and come up with a plan as soon as possible. ”

Director Wang recruited technicians, and after the director held a mobilization meeting, he said: "I will come over every day after work to cheer everyone up." ”

After the director left, everyone discussed the simple drawings drawn by Li Ya. When it got dark, Director Wang remembered to arrange Li Ya: "By the way, I forgot, Xiao Wu, call someone to unload Comrade Xiao Li's carriage and lead the horse into the circle to feed some forage." Comrade Xiao Li, how about you and Xiao Wu squeeze them?"

Li Ya nodded and said, "Yes, so that we can continue to discuss it in the evening." ”

Li Ya lived in the agricultural machinery factory for more than ten days, and the first cultivator failed, and the second one met the requirements, and everyone was very happy.

Li Ya also ploughed the handle of the cultivator in the field, and said with a smile: "It's almost, but the weight is still heavier." Hurry up and produce, I'll go back and tell the production team. ”

When Li Ya returned to the production team, he told Uncle Mingcheng, who said that the production team didn't have so much money to buy, Li Ya said: "Then let's make it up, anyway, let's make everyone less burdened." ”

Uncle Mingcheng said: "Try it." ”

At the meeting, Uncle Mingcheng said: "Didn't he go to the county for more than ten days in the third year of junior high school? Now this cultivator has been built. ”
