1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Brother Tiezhu, our factory has no production tasks today, can I drive a four-wheeler?"

The next morning, Li Tongda ran over happily.

"Then you can adjust your working hours freely. What's wrong with having someone to help you with the work? Are you so willing to drive a four-wheeler?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"Yeah, driving a four-wheeler is fun, it's so glorious." Li Tongda said happily.

"Forget it, if you want to drive, just drive it for fun. After working for a day, you will know whether this thing is good or not." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Haha, I just want to drive it."

Leaving behind a sentence, Li Tongda ran away happily.

"Tiezhu, your company's land really needs to be tightened. I heard from the village that if your land is not planted, other people's land will not be plowed." Han Xiuying said.

"I'm also worried about this. But I have to correct you. Why are you being so polite? This is our company's land. Wenwen, right?"

"Yeah, that's right." Qi Cuiwen said happily.

"She's also a little traitor." Han Xiuying rolled her eyes at her.

"She's a traitor, but she's fine as long as she has food and fun every day." Qi Cuiwen said.

"That's right. Are you going to send Doudou to kindergarten today? Are you going to stay in the county for a day?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Yeah, I have to deal with the office work, so I'll take her there and bring her back after get off work." Han Xiuying said.

"Okay, let's all go. Farming is such a big thing, I must also participate." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"Uncle Chen, do you know how to plant seeds?" Qi Cuiwen asked curiously.

"No." Chen Tiezhu answered loudly.

"Uh..., do you know how to apply manure and fertilizer?" Qi Cuiwen asked again.

"No."

Chen Tiezhu answered very straightforwardly, without even thinking.

"Then what can you do when you are farming?" Qi Cuiwen asked with a smile.

"I can pull a donkey to press the roller. This does not require any skills. You just have to walk in the field all the time." Chen Tiezhu said proudly.

In his world, even if you can't farm, as long as you can do the work, it is a very glorious thing.

On the contrary, Qi Cuiwen didn't know what to say. Only her cheap uncle could see everything so happily.

When they drove to the end of the field, He Jianguo had already started planting with people.

"Uncle Jianguo, how about this? Can a four-wheeled plow work?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"This is really convenient. You can plant three ridges at a time. If there are three racks, it will be planted quickly." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"Besides, our village is not short of people, so it's really easy to plant now. If everyone plants like this, this year's farming can be completed earlier."

"Haha, that's good, I'll press the roller." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"There are not so many animals, you and Wenwen can just watch the fun on the side." He Jianguo said.

"Uh..., what should we do? Don't we have four wheels? Why are there not enough animals?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

"There are many people coming to work, so I arranged the rest of the people. For this piece of land, it normally takes more than four days to plant, but now we can finish it in one and a half days." He Jianguo said.

"Then I can't come for nothing, so let me drag the roller myself." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Ah? Will that work?" He Jianguo was shocked.

"What's wrong? The roller is still easy to drag. Try two ridges. If it doesn't work, I'll take a rest." Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

"Tsk tsk, Uncle Chen, come on." Qi Cuiwen waved her little fist.

"Of course, these are all trivial matters. When the time comes, just use your artist's perspective to take some good photos for us." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Finish the task resolutely." Qi Cuiwen waved her fist and set up the camera.

Chen Tiezhu shook his neck and moved his arms and legs. The warm-up exercise was done.

Then he took off his coat, put it on his shoulders, and put the drag rope on the roller on his shoulders. He was ready.

It should be said that Chen Tiezhu's brute force is also very useful in doing this job.

If someone else were to pull the stick, not only would they walk slowly, but they would also be exhausted. But Chen Tiezhu did this job? It looked really effortless.

Because this guy just leaned forward slightly, then walked leisurely, and chatted while walking. That speed was faster than the big black donkey pulling the stick next to him.

"This guy, Tiezhu, your strength is stronger than before, right?" a villager asked curiously.

"Yes, it is a bit stronger., this job is not easy to do, it hurts my shoulders a bit. "Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Tiezhu, put my work clothes on as well." Li Tongda, who was rushing back from farming, said as he took off his work clothes.

"Forget it, you are so small, you will be cold if you wear so little." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"It's okay, I will pull it with my hands in a while, it's not as hard as I thought. When someone's farming doesn't have enough rollers, call me, this job is easy."

"Ah...ah...ah..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big black donkey behind him stretched his neck and cried.

"What are you doing? I'm not trying to steal your job. "Chen Tiezhu said unhappily.

His words also made everyone laugh. It should be said that Chen Tiezhu's strength is too strong for this job.

"Tiezhu, our crops covered with film are growing very fast. It has only been a short time since we planted them, and the seedlings have come out and are quite tall." He Jianguo said.

"This is a way of farming in the future. Anyway, we will slowly explore it. Even if it is farming, we have to be better than others and earn more than others."

"That's for sure. Now we can find some ways. "He Jianguo nodded.

It should be said that the land covered with plastic film is really well cultivated.

No one has ever thought of such a way of planting before. Chen Tiezhu's first time to do it also gave confidence to the villagers.

If selling green corn is more profitable than growing grain, we can do some in the future. We can plant a second crop of land, and Tiezhu can help everyone sell vegetables when selling vegetables.

Confidence is actually accumulated little by little.

Erdaoling Village has experienced a lot of things so far, and every time it happens, it proves that Chen Tiezhu's decisions are really wise.

Good days are really waving at you in front, it depends on whether you want to work hard.

If you want to have a good life but don't want to work, it's all nonsense.
