Chapter 23, the changes brought about by the cultivator

"He personally used it in the third year of junior high school, and this kind of cultivator is suitable for the slope of our production team. Although it is not as fast as a tractor, it is much faster than a cow, and there is no need to make mud balls, and this plough machine only has some small mud balls as soon as it is plowed. The third junior high school thinks that our production team is enough to buy six units, one hundred and sixty yuan, this is a preferential price, six units are nine hundred and sixty yuan, the production team is three hundred, the third junior high school took one hundred, and now there is still a difference of five hundred and sixty yuan, and one family is twelve yuan, everyone pools money to buy it, can you?"

Last year, the family sold a few pigs and had money in their hands. This is less affected by the purchase of a cultivator, and twelve yuan can still be paid, and they all agree to pay.

Uncle Mingzhong came back from the brigade the next night, and when he heard about it, he also said: "The brigade also needs it, I will go to the brigade for a meeting tomorrow to ask." ”

The next night, the uncle came back and said: "First decide on one production team, seven units." "Seven plus six of the production team is thirteen, and it has been guaranteed that it will not lose money, anyway, at this time, the agricultural machinery factory has no task to do, and it is idle to be idle.

Li Ya and Uncle Mingcheng went to the agricultural machinery factory to pay the money to receive one, and then bought a few barrels of diesel fuel and pulled them back to the production team in a horse-drawn cart.

Li Ya looked at everyone and said, "It's just right, let's see how they plough the land." ”

Li Ya put the two small wheels on first, and said to the others: "Take those two strings of bent guys and go." "Start the cultivator and walk slowly.

Li Yuanjing said: "This is the small cultivator you are talking about? Since you can go, why don't you just drive it back?"

Li Ya said: "This guy is driving back in the middle of the night at this speed, which is much slower than the carriage." ”

The cultivator drove into the field, Li Ya turned off the cultivator, put the plowshare blade on the plow, asked people to take away the two tires, and started the cultivator to start plowing the land.

Everyone watched the cultivator walk slowly, ploughed a meter wide at a time, and said: "It's much faster than an ox plow, the mud is finer, and you can plant directly, this machine is a good deal." ”

Li Ya ploughed back and turned the corner, stopped the cultivator, and said: "You must pay attention when plowing, and don't plow if the ground is uneven." The slope is steep, and it is a big deal when the cultivator turns over, and the human body can not do this piece of iron, and you are lucky to break your hands and feet. Also, the people next to you don't pick up the sloppy grass that is twisted to the side of the machine, otherwise you will also twist your hands into it, and you can only be a one-armed hero in the future. ”

Li Yuanfang said: "This cultivator is so dangerous, why build it? It's better to build one that is not dangerous." ”

Li Ya said disdainfully: "Who doesn't want to build it if it's not dangerous, but it can't be built without technology." I also want to have a machine that can work in the field by itself, so that I don't have to work, I sit at home every day, plow, plant, weed, harvest all without having to do anything, the machine does it by itself, it's a pipe dream. There are only two tractors in the whole commune, and we can't afford to buy one, so we can't afford one. However, you can learn from afar, and make a safer one for everyone to use in the future. In the future, when the people in the village drive the cultivator to plough the land, they will sigh: "It is still our distant grandfather who thinks about us who are farming, otherwise he will dig with ox plows and hoes, what a good grandfather who serves the people." ’”

Li Yuanjing said in the vernacular: "No, no, no, it should be like this: Yuanfang spent his whole life to build a cultivator that was not operated by people, but when we members looked at it, 'Ah! It's very good! But I calculated that the entire production team couldn't afford one after 20 years of hard work." ’”

Everyone laughed, and someone said, "Remember to tell my grandson, and tell me that he will burn paper when he uses your cultivator." ”

A group of people haven't finished their turn yet, it's already dark, Li Ya said: "That's it here today, if it's not your turn, please be early tomorrow." ”

At dinner, Li's mother said happily: "This cultivator is good, or my son is amazing." If you have to wait for others to think about it, you don't know how hard it will take to build it. This year, the plough is ready for planting, and there is one less tiring process. After the autumn harvest, ploughing and planting are much faster, and it is not hard, and you will enjoy happiness in the future. ”

Li Ya said: "Even the manure can also be sprinkled in the ground, and the cultivator will turn it into the ground as soon as it plows, so that it is much easier to fertilize the rice field and the small season." If there is more manure in the future, the corn field can do the same. It saves a lot of time. ”

The next day, the other members of the production team also came to see how the new cultivator ploughed the land, and then waited for Li Ya to finish the rotation of the male members of the production team, and also went to the field to feel it. I feel that my production team is only going to buy one, which is too little. However, when I heard that not only the machine asked for money, but also the diesel fuel cost money, I was reluctant.

Gradually, the cultivators of each production team were bought, and Li Ya and his production team also brought them back when they started raising seedlings. After a few days, the paddy field was ploughed out, and then according to Li Ya's suggestion, the manure was sprinkled in the ground and then ploughed the land.

After the rice field was plowed, Uncle Mingcheng said: "It will take a while to plant rice in this way, don't you have to turn the ground again? ”

That's true, other production teams tried to lock up the machines after buying them, and they didn't start turning the ground.

With the busy planting in spring, everyone feels that there is a lot of time left over this year, young people have more time to study, and older people actually have time to sit and cheer for home.

The board truck can go up to the field, and there is a cultivator, everyone thinks that it would be better if there was a threshing machine? Li Ya smiled: "You can have it with your feet, but it is not easy to drive it with a diesel engine, and it is impossible to have it this year, so do it well." ”

Uncle Mingcheng also said: "It's so much easier now, I didn't have to do it before, and people have to grit their teeth to support when they are tired and thin, otherwise they won't have anything to eat." You young people have only been working hard for a few years? We old people have worked hard all our lives, and we haven't come here yet. Work hard, and when you are admitted to university in the future, you won't be tired if you want to. ”

Li Yuanjing said: "Whoever wants to be tired is tired, anyway, I'm tired enough." ”

Li Ya smiled: "You have used up all the tiredness of this life, and you will enjoy happiness in the future, right? That's wrong, you will be equally tired in the future, but you won't be exposed to the sun and rain like farming." To enjoy the happiness of the next generation, our generation is destined to work hard. ”

Although the people of this generation are hard, they are also full of opportunities, as long as they want to do it, almost all of them have made a fortune.

Li Ya said with a smile: "Although the salesperson in the department store looks idle, you may not be able to look at it in the future." ”

Li Yuanjing said: "Who knows what will happen in the future? Don't hope for it, the greater the disappointment. I'm thinking about waiting for the college entrance examination right now. Why don't you have knowledge? I still understand the principle of sharpening a knife and cutting wood. ”

"Then now it's time to sharpen the knife, and you can stick to it in the production team, and you won't give up halfway in the future. Li Ya said with a smile: "Mencius has said: Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and do what they do." Therefore, the motivation of tenacity can gain what it cannot. We seem to have experienced all of this, standing at the starting point of a new era, and new brilliance is waiting for us to create it together. ”

Li Yuanjing said with a smile: "You are giving a speech, and you are still talking enthusiastically." ”

Li Ya was helpless, to be honest, no one could have imagined that China's rise was so unstoppable. When the country first opened, the achievements of India, Brazil, Mexico and other countries made everyone envious, as well as the four Asian tigers and four tigers, not to mention Japan and Western developed countries. However, decades have passed, and the objects of envy have fallen behind them, and the Chinese people can hardly remember what those countries and regions used to be.

Li Ya said with a smile: "Don't forget to look at the road ahead with hope when you are busy now, and still persevere when you are at a low point, and you will eventually usher in success." ”

Many students studying abroad on public assignment are reluctant to return to China, and the gap between the two countries is too great. However, decades later, the peers who stayed in China have already achieved fame, and they are only slightly richer abroad, and they can only look up to envy and regret it.
