Three hundred and forty-seven agricultural water pumps
The sun sets in the west and the night falls.
Zhang Yu drove the tractor slowly into the brigade warehouse.
"Xiaoyu, I've been troubling you these past few days."
Captain Xie came forward with a smile.
Zhang Yu jumped off the tractor quickly, smiled slightly, and responded: "Captain, what you said is too polite. I have nothing to do, so I just want to help."
After hearing this, Captain Xie nodded with satisfaction and patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder: "Good boy, thanks to you these days, if you hadn't been able to drive a tractor, we wouldn't have known how to use the tractor when we got it. With tractor help
Hold on to the water, everyone has been relieved these past two days, and it’s all thanks to you, Xiaoyu.”
Zhang Yu waved his hand and said modestly: "Captain, thank you for the award. I just did my best. Besides, this is also everyone's contribution. Compared with those who carry water, my contribution is nothing!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then Captain Xie sheepishly explained the reason for his visit.
"Xiaoyu, I just want to ask you this time, how are those brats doing?"
Captain Xie didn't want to rush this at first, but he heard from Xie Zhiying that Zhang Yu would be returning to Beijing in a few days, so he was a little worried.
Zhang Yu didn't care about this and said bluntly: "We have almost learned how to drive the tractor alone. There is no problem. Starting from tomorrow, we can let them take turns driving."
As soon as these words came out, Captain Xie's smile became even more obvious.
Now it's good, even if Zhang Yu goes back, there will be tractor drivers in his brigade.
He no longer has to worry about the commune taking back the tractor because they have no tractor drivers.
Zhang Yu suddenly thought of something and added: "By the way, the tractor in the team is quite old. It needs to be maintained during daily use. There are also some common minor problems that need to be taken care of."
When talking about this, Captain Xie also became worried.
Before their brigade, there was also a brigade that was assigned tractors.
It's just that this tractor is easy to use, but it's really annoying when something goes wrong.
There are very few people repairing tractors in the entire commune, and most of them are in the agricultural machinery institute of the commune.
But it’s not that Captain Xie looks down on them. It’s okay for the masters from the commune’s agricultural machinery institute to let them fix a minor problem. But if there really is a major problem, with their skills, it’s just fooling around and they can’t fix it at all.
So every time I invite them, I have to beg my grandpa and grandma.
Those people even took the food and took it away, and they didn't know what it meant to be polite.
Sometimes a lot of good stuff comes out, but in the end the tractor is not repaired.
As a last resort, I had no choice but to go to the county town to find a master. After all this trouble, the tractor would have to sit idle for at least five or six days.
Seeing the sad look on Captain Xie's face, Zhang Yu also thought of this.
The illiteracy rate in Long Country at this time was over 80%, let alone in rural areas.
Those who have skills in their hands have only been running to the county town for a few days.
"I'm not proficient in this area, but I'm pretty good at it. Otherwise, let them come here early from the day after tomorrow, and I'll teach them where to go wrong before starting work. As for the tools, the captain
Don’t worry, I happen to have an extra set of tools, which are quite heavy. I won’t take them with me when I go back, so I’ll just keep them here.”
Of course, this tool was not what he was used to.
Zhang Yu would definitely not be willing to give out the tricks he was used to.
This set was signed by him before. The contents are not complete, but it is more than enough to repair a tractor.
He got a more complete toolbox later, and this set became useless.
It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away, and it still takes up space.
In this case, it is better to sell the Xie Family Brigade a favor.
As soon as these words came out, Captain Xie was so excited that he stepped forward and held Zhang Yu's hand tightly, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Xiao Yu, are you really willing to teach them how to repair a tractor?"
You must know that tractor repair is a craft.
Craftsmanship is not easy to learn these days.
In order to learn the carpentry trade, the third son of his family not only received money, but also worked as a master for several years. He worked hard all day long and was comparable to an old scalper.
The master then relented and began to teach him his skills.
Even this, I only learned about it, and I didn't even plan to teach the real core part.
The masters of the church starve their apprentices to death, and they are afraid that if the apprentices are handed over, they will have no work.
Real skills are left to their sons.
But even then, the third child in his family has a skill that can make a living, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
Zhang Yu waved his hands and said indifferently: "What's the point? If others are willing to learn, just come together."
Captain Xie patted Zhang Yu's shoulder with excitement: "Okay, okay, these brats are lucky! I'll go back and tell them right away, asking them to study hard. This is a blessing you can't even ask for."
"
After watching Captain Xie leave, Xie Zhiying, who had been silent next to him, spoke up: "Xiaoyu, you don't have to be like this."
He knew what his nephew was thinking, and he was so generous mainly for their sake.
Zhang Yu shook his head: "Second uncle, it's okay. Besides, I don't rely on this craftsmanship to make a living. I'm teaching Beijing."
He also had his own little thoughts in doing so.
No matter what you say, Grandpa Xie, they are still his mother's family.
If nothing else, just because his mother sacrificed her life for the country, Zhang Yu couldn't forget Grandpa Xie.
His mother is gone, so he has to fulfill his filial piety on her behalf.
He came over this time to persuade Grandpa Xie that those who were interested in the Xie family's property had already sunk and had no ability to cause trouble for the Xie family again. Grandpa Xie might as well take his family back to the capital.
Although they will go through those ten years later, the Xie family has gone through such a circle, which can be regarded as clearing their identity. When they return to the capital, no one will associate them with the Xie family back then. Although there are wind and rain, they should
It's no big deal to the Xie family.
He always felt that the Xie family was buried here.
In the end, there are more opportunities in Beijing.
With the abilities of Uncle Xie and Second Uncle Xie, they should not continue to remain silent.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Apart from anything else, just seeing Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie working under the scorching sun made him feel a little sour.
The two of them used to go out, but the person who could be called Young Master Xie and Young Master Xie, now...
It’s just that Grandpa Xie doesn’t want to go back to Beijing.
Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie even tried to persuade Zhang Yu in turn. They felt that they were living a stable life now and did not want to change too much.
Even if he wants to return to Beijing, it is not now.
Zhang Yu thought carefully about it later. Since the Xie family was unwilling to return to Beijing, he couldn't force it too much. At most, he could come a few more times to fulfill his filial piety for his parents.
However, not returning to the capital does not mean that the Xie family cannot live a better life.
He helped the brigade train a group of tractor drivers who knew how to maintain their tractors. The brigade owed him a big favor.
With this favor, even if he didn't say anything, these people would usually take more care of Xie's family.
Zhang Yu shook his head, that was all they could do for the Xie family.
But I have to say that Grandpa Xie is particularly keen.
There are still several years to go until 1965, and the other party can already guess that things will not be peaceful next.
If Zhang Yu hadn't read about it in history books, he might not have been aware of the ups and downs when things came to pass.
But it doesn't matter, he had no intention of taking the political route in the first place. He was determined to take the technical route in this life.
If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world.
As long as he doesn't seek death, no one can touch him given his current background.
Looking at the tractor in front of him, Zhang Yu suddenly had inspiration.
He had seen the water pumps of later generations, and vaguely remembered that before the portable water pumps, people used a tractor-driven agricultural water pump to water the fields.
Until he was reborn, some places still used agricultural water pumps like that.
Now that the tractor is available, can he make a water pump to pump water directly from the well, and then extend the hose to the field?
In this way, there is no need to carry water manually.
This is many times more efficient than manual watering.
The principle of a water pump is actually quite simple, and it doesn't require many things. It only needs one inlet and one outlet, one drain nozzle, and it can continuously form a vacuum or negative pressure at the inlet, and a slight positive pressure at the exhaust nozzle.
By pressing, the well water can be pumped out.
This is not a difficult problem for Zhang Yu now.
"Come on, let's go home for dinner. Your grandma and the others have probably prepared the meal and are waiting for us to go back for dinner." Xie Zhiying's voice interrupted Zhang Yu's memories.
There was no pen and paper at the moment, so Zhang Yu simply stopped thinking about it.
Think about it later when you get back.
While he was on his way back, he remembered that today's check-in had not been used yet, so he wanted to see if he could get anything good today.
"System, sign in!"
As his voice fell, the system beeped.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully today."
"Get a bundle of hoses."
Zhang Yu was slightly shocked when he saw the extra water ribbon on the system page.
The first reaction was: "The system also said that you can't control the sign-in. What is this?"
The slightly dull voice of the system reminded him in his mind: "The system has no right to interfere with signed items!"
"Then what is this?" Pointing to the hose on the system page, he asked again.
"The system has no right to interfere with signed items!"
Zhang Yu almost laughed out of anger at the system.
This is also called not having the right to interfere with signed items.
He was just trying to make an agricultural water pump when the system brought him a bundle of water hoses. He didn't believe it if the system had not tampered with it.
There are also those used diapers he signed in before. Could it be that he has dirty hands?
Even if his hands were dark, they wouldn't be that dark.
As if aware of Zhang Yu's thoughts, the system beeped again.
"Ding, the system has insufficient energy and is about to enter a dormant state!"
"System, don't pretend to be dead!"
"Ding, the system has insufficient energy and has entered sleep mode."
Zhang Yu was completely angry this time.
The co-authoring system also knows what is evasive but useful.
However, looking at the hose on the system page, Zhang Yu still clicked on the detailed introduction above.
Looking at the 50-meter-long water belt, he was both happy and wanted to sigh.
Agricultural water pumps are not a big problem for him.
But the hose...
After much deliberation, I guess I can only ask the rubber factory if they can produce hoses.
The fifty-meter hose in his hand is the only hose he currently has.
This is not the future. There is a well not far from every house, which is very convenient for irrigation. Although the 50-meter water belt is not long, it can be used barely.
But it's different now. Many fields don't even have wells next to them.
Zhang Yu is not sure about other places, but in Xie's brigade, there are fewer wells because there are rivers passing by the fields.
In order to facilitate the villagers to use water, the few wells are scattered in the village.
If you want to use the well in the village for watering, a short fifty-meter hose will definitely not solve the problem.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but poke the system.
"Can you change tomorrow's check-in items into water belts?"
The system remained silent, and Zhang Yu took it as if he agreed.
As for how to take out the hose, it's another worry.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.
There must be a road from the car to the mountain, and from the bridge to the bow of the boat, it will naturally be straight.
Let’s find a way to get the agricultural water pump out first.
After dinner, Zhang Yu returned to the house and quickly drew a picture according to his memory.
With the drawings in hand, the next step is to find a place to build the agricultural water pump.
Zhang Yu has already thought about the location. Isn't the machinery factory in the county the best place?
It happened that Factory Manager Li owed him a favor, so he didn't feel embarrassed to come to him for help.
Several tractor drivers have been taught enough and are now able to work independently.
The next day, after Zhang Yu watched several tractor operators taking turns pulling water, he mentioned it to Captain Xie and prepared to go to the county seat.
Captain Xie saw that a few tractor drivers could really do the job, so he didn't say anything.
However, knowing that Zhang Yu was going to the county town, Captain Xie asked him to help him go to the hospital to see how Wang Zhiqing was doing. If he was well, he should stop lingering in the hospital.
"Okay, then I'll go to the hospital for a walk."
"Excuse me, Xiaoyu. I'm supposed to do this, but I really can't spare the time these two days. Xiaoyu, don't argue with them. If Wang Zhiqing doesn't want to come back, let him continue to stay in the hospital.
Yes, but the two female educated youths who took care of him must come back."
Speaking of this, Captain Xie couldn't help but darken his face.
Neither of these two things gave him any peace of mind.
Originally, he didn't care at all when the few educated youths would come back.
On the contrary, I think it would be better if a few educated youths did not come back, which would save them and their crops.
As for sharing food.
A few educated youths want to eat shit!
It is absolutely impossible to distribute food to them without time.
Captain Xie looked at the new educated youths who didn't look like money-hungry people. Even if they couldn't get food, they wouldn't starve to death.
I just thought that I would leave them alone and let them stay in the hospital for a few more days, so as not to have to wipe their butts at this juncture.
The result was not good, they only stayed in the hospital for a few days before they got into trouble again.
Two female educated youths were jealous of Wang Qing and started fighting in the hospital.
Hearing that two female educated youths were fighting over Wang Qing, Zhang Yu's eyes widened and he subconsciously blurted out: "Didn't those two already have a falling out? Why did they get together again?"
He could clearly remember that in front of everyone, the female educated youth surnamed Song dug out the secrets of Wang Qing and another female educated youth.
The two sides were already in such trouble, why did they get together again?
