They don't care how long the pump lasts, they only care about whether there is water in the fields, whether the summer harvest will be affected, and how much food they can get for their work.

Therefore, after cheering for a while, they were driven by Zhang Daniu to carry out other labor.

For example, repair some small ditches that are somewhat blocked, etc.

But Fang Xiaoyue was different from them, and she was still a little nervous by the pump.

Although he is very satisfied with his work.

But without tools to measure the bearing data, he was not too sure how long the bearing would last.

He even listened intently to any movement in the pump with the bonus of his alertness specialty.

It wasn't until two hours later, when the pump was still working, that he was completely relieved.

Since there was no problem with running for two hours straight, it should not be a problem if it was run longer.

Well, even he himself has to admit that if it weren't for the bonus of his expertise in making goods, he would probably have burned out after the bearings he made were installed, and the pump would have burned out in less than half an hour due to excessive friction and heat.

In your own world, such a problem will naturally not arise.

But here, with only a file, a hammer, vernier calipers, drilling tools, and a few pieces of sandpaper that I found on the fly, I did my best.

In any case, he was able to repair the pump, which made Zhang Daniu lose face, not to mention, but also further enhanced his prestige in Forsythia Village.

At least for a long time afterward, the villagers were not dissatisfied with themselves because of the ten cents.

It can be said that the current Fang Xiaoyue is no longer the fifteen-year-old young boy in Forsythia Village, but a capable person with a high status and superb skills.

As for the few educated youths who were a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yue, from that day on, they didn't dare to show disdain when they saw Fang Xiaoyue, but they looked a little like they wanted to please him.

After entering early summer, time flies.

Fang Xiaoyue's daily schedule is extremely fulfilling now.

In addition to squatting in the courtyard of the thatched hut to repair the farm tools sent by this brigade and other brigades, he needs to go to the repair point in the town every once in a while to contact the relationship with Huang Laoqi.

He thought of this when it came to repairing the pump.

No, if you want to be a good technical person, you don't just have to be technical.

There must be materials, tools!

Let's take the water pump as an example, if it wasn't for the lack of materials and tools at that time, Fang Xiaoyue would have rebuilt those two bearings.

Because of this, even those two bearings are barely usable due to the characteristics of the manufactured goods.

But after the drought passed, before the two pumps were taken back from above, Fang Xiaoyue took them apart and checked them, and found that the two bearings were already overwhelmed, and if they were used for a few more days, I am afraid that it would be a foregone conclusion if they broke again.

In short, Huang Laoqi can rub a little iron here, borrow some tools, not to mention, and buy some things through Huang Laoqi's relationship.

That's right, although Fang Xiaoyue has no money now, she is already preparing for the future.

In this small plane where everything is arranged by plan, there is no relationship between the supply and marketing cooperatives, let alone Fang Xiaoyue, even if Zhang Daniu, the captain, comes forward, it is impossible to buy what he needs.

Of course, in addition to contacting Huang Laoyi's relationship, Fang Xiaoyue didn't even leave Cheng Dashui behind, and when he went to the repair point, he came to Cheng Dashui from time to time to observe the process of repairing the other party's wooden farm tools.

It didn't take long for the summer harvest to arrive.

As the captain of the brigade, Zhang Daniu's most important work in Forsythia Village is spring ploughing, summer harvest, autumn planting, and autumn harvest.

The people live on food.

Therefore, before the summer harvest, Zhang Daniu held a summer harvest mobilization meeting in Forsythia Village, not only did everyone attend, but even the more than ten educated youths were not left behind.

Fang Xiaoyue is about to turn 16 years old, and she can barely be regarded as half a strong laborer in the countryside, so the busyness of the summer harvest will definitely not be able to run away.

But he did not take the initiative to participate in the summer harvest labor, but after the mobilization meeting, he found Zhang Daniu.

"What? Are you applying not to participate in the summer harvest? ”

Hearing Fang Xiaoyue's intentions, Zhang Daniu couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

In his impression, Fang Xiaoyue is not a cheating person, and he has performed very well in the past, what's wrong now?

Could it be that the repairman has been in office for a long time and has swelled? Floated?

Seeing Zhang Daniu's exaggerated expression, Fang Xiaoyue knew that the captain had misunderstood, and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I'm not lazy, I applied not to participate in the summer harvest, but for our eighth team to complete the summer harvest faster and faster." ”

Hearing Fang Xiaoyue's words, Zhang Daniu's eyes bulged out.

This kid is now not only stealing and cheating, but also learning to quibble?

"Tell me, then, what important work are you going to do?" Zhang Daniu has the momentum to punish you if you can't explain it.

But Fang Xiaoyue didn't hurry up and said her plan.

In fact, he had been brewing for a long time.

It's just that I was afraid that Zhang Daniu would not support it before, but now that the summer harvest is approaching, it is much easier to get the support of the other party.

He's going to make a human harvester!

Well, although the human harvester is not very popular in Fang Xiaoyue's world, there are many people in their world.

Especially those who have a little spare money and time, and have not had the opportunity to take the path of their own interests before, but spend a lot of energy, time and money on this kind of thing.

In addition, some remote areas, mountainous areas and other places with inconvenient transportation do need this thing.

Therefore, the small factory where Fang Xiaoyue is located has to receive a lot of such orders before the farm is busy.

The only difference is that the manpower harvesters made by Fang Xiaoyue's small factory are all made of steel, while the manpower harvesters that Fang Xiaoyue is preparing to make here are mostly made of wood, and only the harvesting gears, transmissions, etc. are made of iron.

After listening to Fang Xiaoyue's explanation, Zhang Daniu's eyes became strange when he looked at him.

When Fang Xiaoyue thought that there was a horse's foot somewhere, making the other party suspect that he was not Zhang Fugui, Zhang Daniu slapped him on the shoulder: "Good boy!" Sure enough, I didn't look away! Yes! This matter is so decided, what is needed, the brigade will give full support! ”

If you want to say that the big pot of rice is divided into shares, it is relatively fragrant for each family, but for the captain Zhang Daniu, it is a little unfriendly.

We all know that the disadvantage of big pot rice is that it is difficult to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for labor, anyway, it is the same to do more and less, as long as it is not absent, adult men can not run away from 8-10 points of work per day, and adult women can not run away from 5-6 points of work per day.

In this way, in the busy season of farming, spring ploughing is better, everyone knows that if the seedlings are not planted well, it will affect the harvest of the year, but in a busier season like the summer harvest, even if Zhang Daniu strictly supervises the site every day, everyone works slowly, just like a group of lazy people who can't pump with a leather whip.

Therefore, a machine like a human harvester that can greatly improve labor efficiency, Zhang Daniu is naturally happy to hear it.

Soon, Zhao Xiangdong, the accountant of the brigade, Zhang Jianxin, the clerk, Liu Sanmu, the animal husbandry and others were all called over by Zhang Daniu, and after a small meeting, everyone got on the ox cart and rushed towards Bencao Town.

Zhao Xiangdong sat on the ox cart, and from time to time touched the cloth in his arms with some pain, which was wrapped in half of the collective liquidity of the eight brigades, 150 yuan!

Don't underestimate the 150 pieces.

In the case that the Eighth Brigade has pulled so many debts, it is not easy to secretly save 300 yuan.

In this way, in the case that 1 yuan can buy 10 catties of rice, 1 catty of fat, and the minimum living expenses of a person in the city are 8-10 yuan a month, money is really valuable.

Thinking that these 150 pieces were likely to be squandered by Zhang Fugui, a rabbit cub, Zhao Xiangdong felt the pain of being dug up in his heart.

Zhang Daniu looked a little nervous and worried, although he believed Fang Xiaoyue's words on the surface, but in fact, he didn't have much hope for Fang Xiaoyue's ability to make the human harvester he said, he just wanted to try.

As for what the consequences would be if he didn't succeed, he didn't dare to think about it.

The group hurried to Materia Medica in an ox cart.

When he arrived in town, Zhang Daniu gritted his teeth and bought a pack of 2 Mao 6 swimming brand cigarettes.

You must know that although Zhang Daniu likes to smoke, he usually doesn't smoke.

These days, I can't eat enough, where is the spare money to smoke, even if I buy cigarettes occasionally, I am staring at a pack of goldfish cigarettes for 8 cents.

Swimming brand cigarettes like 2 Mao 6 have a nickname, which is called cadre cigarettes.

As the name suggests, only cadres can afford to smoke.

When I entered the repair point, it was naturally a cigarette to open the way.

After receiving the cigarette handed by Zhang Daniu, both Huang Laoqi and Cheng Dashui were a little surprised.

When did this big bull get rich? Can you afford to draw swimming cards?!

But when Zhang Daniu said what he wanted in the future, Huang Laoqi and the two suddenly understood.

This is really nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace.

It's no wonder that this Zhang slammed the door and was willing to spend a lot of money.

"Okay, I'll give up my old face to tell the director, but you also know that now there is a shortage of materials, there is no industrial ticket, and you can't buy anything with money, and the price may be more expensive."

After understanding this, Huang Laoqi nodded and said in a low voice.

Zhang Daniu also knows that in these years, it would be good to be able to buy things, and he also wanted the supply and marketing cooperatives to reduce the price, which was impossible.

Let's put it this way, if it weren't for the cigarette ticket that Da Niu had saved before, it would have been impossible to buy it at all.

Huang Laoqi then asked Fang Xiaoyue what he wanted to purchase.

Fang Xiaoyue had already sorted out the purchase list in her mind, borrowed a piece of waste paper from Huang Laoqi, and wrote it.
