Scholars in the courtyard

The sound moves from far to near.

Everyone looked up and saw a car coming this way on the road.

From the looks and the sound, this car is something special!

As the car approached, someone in front waved their arms and slowly slowed down.

Before the car stopped, a person jumped out from the side and ran over quickly.

When he got closer, Wang Xuyang could see that it was Fatty Ding from the grain station.

When Fatty Ding came forward, Wang Xuyang stepped forward and joked, but his eyes were fixed on the tractor.

"Hey, Station Master Ding, you came down in a special car for a visit."

Fatty Ding didn't take it seriously and said hello to Gao Yufeng. Then he looked at the stopped tractor and said, "I'll take you with me smoothly. I'm just here to take a look."

As Fatty Ding said, Yang Xiaotao stopped the car and walked towards Gao Yufeng before everyone gathered around him. Yang Xiaotao stopped the car, looked at a group of people on the roadside, and quickly got out of the car to greet them.

"Director Gao!"

Yang Xiaotao was a little frightened when he saw Gao Yufeng, who looked just like a farmer among the people.

I said before that I would come back to help when I had time, but...

Breaking one's trust feels like lying, not to mention being seen face to face.

Gao Yufeng had no intention of talking to Yang Xiaotao. His attention was now on the tractor.

He has seen a lot of cars, and he usually has a dedicated driver when traveling. He often does this for jeeps and also for cars.

Others saw a lot of tractors because of their work.

There are crawler-type ones, wheel-type ones, steering-wheel-type ones, and hand-held ones.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences even made statistics that there are thirty or forty types of tractors developed across the country.

But the ones that can really be put into practice and can be mass-produced are no more than two palms.

Moreover, after three years of difficult times, many local factories have gone out of business, and this number will continue to decrease.

This is also the dilemma faced by agricultural production. Relying on existing human resources alone, we can at best return to the previous level. If we want to make a big step to improve production efficiency, machinery and equipment are indispensable.

I have at least seen similar walking tractors like the one in front of me, but they are smaller than this one.

And this one looks more pleasing to the eye.

Not just him, but others too.

Wang Xuyang was sitting on Yang Xiaotao's seat, groping with his hands, but fortunately he didn't dare to move.

Yang Xiaotao quickly followed Gao Yufeng to explain.

"Director, this is a tractor produced by our steel rolling mill. Although it uses a steam engine, it is very powerful and is stronger than most domestic diesel engines."

"Also, look at this, the iron plow was also made by our steel rolling mill. With a tractor and a plow, an acre of land can be plowed in minutes."

"and this…"

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Yang Xiaotao followed Gao Yufeng and vigorously boasted about the quality of the tractor. Fatty Ding, who was introducing it to Wang Xuyang, shouted that he had learned it.

I still have to work hard on my shamelessness.

Gao Yufeng looked here and there.

He had also heard about the steel rolling mill these days, but he didn't expect that it would be really different after seeing it.

It's all the way from the rolling mill. It's nothing for such a long distance, which already illustrates the quality problem.

Reconnecting to what the leader said last time, if it is easy to use, those farms in the west have been urging the ministry to buy machinery and equipment.

It really means that.

Especially this tractor was designed by Yang Xiaotao. Looking at the smiling people beside him, he couldn't connect with it.

"You're a director now, so be more serious!"

Director Gao said something, and Yang Xiaotao quickly stood up straight, standing straighter than anyone else.

Although they are both directors, Yang Xiaotao doesn't think that their status is the same.

In terms of rank, director Gao Yufeng corresponds to the level of secretary and factory director, which is at least three levels higher than his director.

From the perspective of work units, the steel rolling mill and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are not the same heavyweights.

If Yang Xiaotao really thought that the two of them were at the same level and therefore neither serious nor serious, then he would not be able to understand clearly.

Director Gao didn't see Yang Xiaotao's expression, and his attention was still on the car.

Yang Xiaotao continued to introduce, "Director, this is the clutch, which is in gear. The car has low speed and high speed, and it can also reverse..."

As he spoke, he drove Wang Xuyang aside and demonstrated it to Gao Yufeng himself.

"This tractor is simple and easy to operate. You can master it after just two lessons..."

Yang Xiaotao continued to brag about himself, but the people next to him nodded.

Compared with the tractors I have seen, this one is indeed a bit simpler.

"What about other features?"

Gao Yufeng asked, Yang Xiaotao still wanted to speak.

Fatty Ding on the side suddenly said, "Director, it's getting late, let's go back and talk first."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and it was already half past seven, and said, "Yes, let's talk tonight."

Gao Yufeng and others looked at the sky. The afterglow of the setting sun was already submerged and the darkness was about to fall, so they nodded.

Yang Xiaotao asked Fatty Ding to add coal, then took out the flashlight from his backpack and asked Director Gao to hold it to light the way.

After waiting for a while, Yang Xiaotao started to start the car.

Gao Yufeng stood on the left, Fatty Ding on the right, and five or six people were sitting beside the carriage. Even Wang Xuyang came up and said nothing about getting off.

The car slowly accelerated and drove towards Yangjiazhuang.

The two villages are next to each other, and the distance between them is only seven or eight miles. It took less than five minutes to see the outline of the village.

At this time, people in the village have begun to go home. The sun rises and sets, and the sun goes down. It's time to go home for dinner.

So, people on the road saw the tractor, Yang Xiaotao, and a bunch of people on the vehicle.

Yang Shitou drove the donkey cart, and there was another one behind him. Mr. Yang sat on the mule cart, with a pile of freshly cut grass behind it to take home to feed the pigs.

At this moment, Yang Hui was slapping his knees with a smile on his face. Yang Hui, who was pulling the mule, touched the mule's neck from time to time, showing great concern.

"Huizi, you have learned a lot about this stone. It will be time to become an apprentice in a few days!"

Yang Hui smiled shyly, "Uncle Shitou has many abilities, and I still have to learn from them!"

Being able to take care of this mule, but Mr. Yang personally spoke, of course it was also related to Yang Xiaotao.

Ever since I learned how to castrate pigs from Yang Xiaotao, although I don't have the name of master and disciple, I have the reality of master and disciple.

With this relationship, Yang Hui was extremely polite to Ran Qiu's aunt Ye. He usually came to help with work and showed respect both inside and outside.

Because of this, Mr. Yang gave him this opportunity.

"Master, what is that?"

Yang Hui saw Yang Shitou stop the donkey cart, then stopped and looked towards the road.

"Huh? It seems like a bunch of people!"

Mr. Yang stood in the car and looked far away, and saw a group of people gathering together, moving quickly in the dark.

"It's a car!"

"Huizi, come over quickly."

"Stone, get out of the way quickly."

Mr. Yang shouted, but Yang Shitou accelerated towards the road. He was also curious about what it was.

Soon, the intersection was full of people, and Mr. Yang stood in the car and kept smiling.

As the car got closer, I could see clearly what was going on.

The driver was his grandson.

Yang Xiaotao stopped the car. Mr. Yang had already jumped out of the car and came closer.

Yang Xiaotao told the story again, and the people around him laughed from ear to ear.

There is something wrong with this guy on the farm, and it would be unreasonable to do anything wrong.

Everyone looked at the car, it was already dark, and Mr. Yang was about to get in the car.

Several people quickly moved out of the way and helped Mr. Yang up.

Although it was not far from home, Yang Xiaotao still satisfied everyone's curiosity and drove around the village before walking to the brigade headquarters.

However, the people in the car were satisfied, and Yang Dazhuang and others came up to him out of curiosity. Even Ran Qiuye came out of the house after hearing about it to see what was going on.

She came back from school and prepared dinner at home.

Two teachers from school came to visit her home tonight. They actually took turns eating in the village, but she accepted her invitation today.

At this time, Li Lanxin and Ran Qiuye were preparing in the room.

Then I heard the eldest son of Yang Dazhuang's family running over, saying that Yang Xiaotao had driven back and was taking people around the village.

When I came to the door, I saw a group of people gathered around the door of the brigade headquarters, everyone on the left and right were surprised.

In the carriage, Mr. Yang held a flashlight and kept shining it in front of him.

"Move forward, get out of the way, don't block the light."

Mr. Yang shouted, and Yang Dazhuang was directing from the front, moving his hands to the right and forward.

It turned out that the door of the brigade headquarters was a bit narrow, and Yang Xiaotao felt that he couldn't get in. Later, Fatty Ding found a meter ruler and measured it. It was exactly ten centimeters wider. As long as it was operated correctly, he could get in.

There was no other way, Yang Xiaotao could only move inside bit by bit.

After the car safely drove into the brigade headquarters, Yang Xiaotao turned off the engine and parked, then walked out.

My arms felt trembling as I drove all the way.

Everyone rushed up to watch again.

"Stop looking now and help get the things!"

Yang Xiaotao watched a group of people gathering around, looking around and asking people to help them get things.

All the tines of the plow were lifted aside.

But he was preparing to go home with wine and meat.

Next to him, Mr. Yang was still sitting in the car, fiddling with the handlebars.

Director Gao was stroking his chin. Along the way, the car drove steadily and loaded with so many things. Plus people, it could pull more than an ordinary small truck.

The most important thing is that Yang Xiaotao said that coal was added twice from the steel rolling mill to here.

This is battery life!

I was thinking about it and asked about the production status of this car. If everything goes well, I really need to purchase it in large quantities.

Yang Xiaotao asked Yang Shitou to help take the things home. He would be bleeding heavily tonight.

Ran Qiuye was watching outside. He had seen the tractor last time in Sijiu City, and to him, the tractor was far less interesting than his own men.

After being pregnant for so long, my belly is getting bigger day by day, and my nostalgia for my husband is getting stronger and stronger.

Sometimes, she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. She always felt that Yang Xiaotao was not by her side and she couldn't sleep well.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Yang Xiaotao walking out of the door.

"Uncle Da Zhuang, this gate needs to be expanded, otherwise it will be troublesome to get out of the car."

Yang Xiaotao said to Yang Dazhuang, who was carrying vegetables at the side. Behind him, Mr. Yang, who was carrying wine, nodded, "That's right. Cultivating bigger will save you trouble in the future."

Yang Dazhuang nodded after hearing this, "After finishing this work, start practicing!"

After a few people walked out of the gate, Yang Xiaotao saw Ran Qiuye.

He went immediately, not being too affectionate in front of everyone, Ran Qiuye reached out and took a bag of tomatoes, "Back!"

"came back!"

Yang Xiaotao stared at Ran Qiuye and smiled, making Ran Qiuye blush a little.

"Why are you back so late!"

There was some sadness in her words, because she hadn't come back to see her for so long.

"I didn't come back as soon as I had free time!"

Yang Xiaotao had long heard from Director Gao that the news about what happened in the steel rolling mill had not been reported back, and he felt relieved.

When several people came to the house, Yang Xiaotao greeted Liu Yonghui and Li Lanxin and started preparing to cook.
