Han Jianmin's house in Han Village, Dong Biao stood on a chair and filled the dustpan with wheat, and after filling it, he bent down and handed it to Duan Lei, who was hoarded with wheat.

Li Lin held the mouth of the cloth bag, Duan Lei poured wheat into it with a dustpan, filled it with a bag and carried it to the scale in the yard.

On the sixth bag of wheat, Li Lin said: "Brother Fuliang has no hot water at home, let's add some water to the brothers." ”

"Yes, I'll get it." Han Fuliang went to the hall and took out a thermos bottle and added water to Dong Biao Duan Lei's water cup.

Li Lin went to the East House to call them out, the little brothers went out to rest, and Duan Lei took out 3 packets of soybean milk powder from his pocket.

Dong Biao exclaimed: "Soybean milk powder, Erlei is developed?" ”

Duan Lei threw him a packet, raised his hand and handed Li Lin another packet.

Li Lin waved his hand and said, "I don't want to drink it, you can keep it." ”

After speaking, he took out a ballpoint pen and notebook, "Uncle came over to take a look at the pound, 6 bags of wheat totaling 690 and a half pounds." ”

Han Jianmin lay on the pound and looked carefully, and Li Lin explained from the side, "This is 200 kilograms, this is 100 kilograms, and this is 25 kilograms." ”

Then he pointed to the scale and said, "This is a 20-kilogram scale, do you see it?" ”

Han Jianmin took off the scales and checked them one by one, and after reading it, he called his son Han Fuliang over to confirm.

Han Fuliang said: "Erlin, if I say something that I don't like, your scale is accurate, right?" ”

Li Lin said: "If you don't worry, you can find a weight test, and I am not allowed to eat the scale on the spot." ”

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Han Fuliang smiled and took a pen to record the pounds.

Dong Biao and Duan Lei continued to go to the East House to load wheat, and Han Fuliang helped Li Lin carry the wheat on the scale onto the ox cart.

"Brother Li, the ox cart is too small, and my family's wheat cart may not be able to pull it all, you should buy a four-wheeled tractor."

"There is a four-wheeled cart, which broke down in Sunzhuang last night, and I can't drive the ox cart over."

"Is your four-wheeler licensed? My brother said that from tomorrow, the brigade will strictly enforce motor vehicles on the road without a license and drive without a license. ”

"Brother Fuliang, is it troublesome to get a driver's license to drive a tractor? How much does it cost? ”

"Our traffic police brigade can do it, G certificate 450 yuan, H certificate 300 yuan, can drive a four-wheel tractor, do you want to do it?"

"What documents do you need? How many days can the certificate be issued? ”

"You give me your ID card and a one-inch bareheaded photo, and it will be issued almost tomorrow."

"So soon, I'll think about it first."

"As soon as you can, if you are caught by the traffic police for driving without a license, you will be fined at least 300."

Six bags of wheat were loaded onto the ox cart, Han Fuliang went to the toilet, and Li Lin used a fly to swatt the flies on the ox.

Considering whether to get a driver's license, the road from home to the warehouse is temporarily unblocked, and Han Pingliang's team will give the green light.

Fearing that the brigade would transfer the other teams to Sunzhuang, Lamai could only take Highway 310, which was time-consuming and dangerous to take the dirt road.

The brother was busy from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock and finally finished loading, a full 20 bags of wheat totaling 2300.7 catties.

Li Lin took out the calculator, "According to the rules of the industry, except for 20 catties of skin, there are 2280 catties and 7 taels left, 3 cents per catty, 5 cents, a total of 798 pieces and 3 cents." ”

Han Jian calculated with a pencil, and after calculating, he said: "Deducting 20 catties is indeed a bit much, but you can't break the rules." ”

"Thank you, uncle, you are so reasonable." Li Linla took money from his waist bag and paid for it.

Take out the account book to keep a running account: on June 5, 1996, 1.14 tons of wheat from Han Pingliang in Hancun were purchased, and the unit price was 0.35 yuan and the expenditure was 798.3 yuan, which was 288.56 tons short of 300 tons.

Han Fuliang asked again: "Do you have a driver's license?" I'll give you another $5 discount. ”

Li Lin said: "I'll think about it, and I'll give you an accurate word tomorrow." ”

Han Jianmin put the money in his pocket and said, "Hurry up and go to Xu Yingchun's house to pull the mai, it's still early, I won't leave you to eat." ”

Xu Yingchun was the captain of the traffic team, and Han Pingliang took the lead in letting Li Lin collect his wheat at a high price.

"Uncle, tell me the address of Team Xu's house." Li Lin opened the ballpoint pen and took out the address book from his waist bag.

"The grain is at his father's house, and his father's name is Xu Erqing. You follow this road to the west, enter the second house of the Yellow Building, the door is facing south, it is easy to find. ”

"I'll unload the goods into the warehouse."

Dong Biao and Duan Lei lifted the scales to the cart, and Li Lin said goodbye to the Han family and drove the ox cart back to the warehouse.

Duan Lei said: "I'll come down and run, the cow is a little unbearable." ”

Li Lin touched the head of the big yellow cow, smiled bitterly and said, "Let's all come down and run." ”

There are 1.3 tons of cargo plus people, and in the case of a good car, an adult bull can pull a car of about 2 tons, and the road in front of him is too second.

Dong Biao and Duan Lei supported the scales on both sides of the car, and the brothers followed the scalpers all the way back to the warehouse.

Li Lin thought about it again and again, and decided to buy a four-wheeled tractor, and it was really unreliable to use an ox cart to pull mail.

Last night's farce also reminded him that it is not okay to use someone else's car all the time.

There are not many tractors to buy, and they can be used for the family in the future, plowing, planting wheat, and watering the land can get twice the result with half the effort, and the father and mother can also suffer a little less.

Li Lin wiped the sweat on his head with a towel and asked, "How much does it cost to buy a four-wheeler, do you two know?" ”

Dong Biao said: "Last month, the head of my village bought a small tractor from Zhongzhou to pull bricks for the kiln factory, and the front of the car plus the body totaled 10,005. ”

Duan Lei said: "Zhongzhou Xiaotuo is produced in Bianjing, I don't feel as good as Dongfanghong, buy a Dongfanghong 170, it will be a few hundred yuan more expensive than Zhongzhou Xiaotuo." ”

Li Lin knows Dongfanghong, and China's first tractor in 1958 was Dongfanghong.

Behind him, I suddenly remembered the shouting voice, "Sorbet, ice cream, ice pack......

Li Lin heard the shouting, and his originally hot and smoking throat directly erupted into flames.

A broken bicycle passed by, with a foam cooler strapped to the back seat, and the owner was a young man in big pants.

"How do you sell sorbet?"

"1 cent of sorbet, 2 cents of mung bean ice cream, and 5 cents of taro and Liu Luo pot."

"Are there any old popsicles?"

"Nope."

"Take Liu Luo'er."

Xiao Young opened the refrigerator and took out three pieces of ice cream, and on the plastic wrapper, Liu Luoguo's personality was really the face.

Li Lin first took out a dollar coin and gave it to him, and lowered his head to find 5 cents from his waist bag.

"You're Brother Erlin, right?"

"Huh? Do you know me? ”

"I don't know, they all say that you look like Yang Kang."

"Get out, say Yang Kang again, I'll give you the valve core."

"I'm sorry brother!" The little young man was scared and ran away, and he didn't want 5 cents.

Dong Biao and Duan Lei laughed, Li Lin was a little depressed, and said in his heart that you should take it seriously if you are joking.

Back at the warehouse, Xitong took the brothers to unload the car, Li Lin led the oxen to the factory to graze, beat the flies with his left hand, and scratched the cow's back with his right hand.

Xitong came over with a bucket of water to feed the cows, and said, "There is an old woman from Han Village who is carrying a basket of wheat and asking for wheat, so I will scold and drive it away." ”

Li Lin frowned, "Want wheat?" What does it mean? ”

Xitong sneered, "She said that her family is poor and can't open the pot, and she has to ask for wheat if she doesn't pull me in Daqing." ”

Li Lin smiled, and said in his heart, "Am I a big eater?" This kind of person can't get used to it!

"Xiaoxi, if she comes again, call me directly."

"Don't worry, brother, I will guard my home."

Li Lin looked at his watch and said, "Let Aunt Fan cook for three people less, and I'll go to Huanglou to pull the traffic captain's wheat." ”
