On this day, Xiaoqingshan Village was extremely lively. The villagers brought their families with them, and the educated youth gathered together and stood at the entrance of the village in anticipation.
The half-year training is over!
Today is the day for students to return home. If it was just the end of training, there would definitely not be such a big battle.
What really brings everyone together is that today is also the day when the tractors return to the village.
Xiaoqingshan Village is definitely the first village with a tractor in a radius of hundreds of miles. Tractors are definitely a rare thing.
Not long after, the villagers first heard a roar of "dong dong dong".
"I'm home!"
"I'm home!"
A thin boy ran back from the outside of the village happily, waving his hands as he ran.
"Uncle Baogen, they are back!"
Hearing this, the old village chief quickly became energetic. He slowly put down his pipe and looked away.
"Get ready to fire!"
In order to welcome the first tractor, the village specially prepared a 150-gun firecracker.
Spread on the ground in a long piece, such firecrackers are usually set off only during major celebrations.
And today is undoubtedly a momentous moment.
The old village chief waved his hand and spent a huge amount of money to buy a hanging hanging full of red.
winter!
winter!
winter!
The roar of the tractor was getting closer and closer, and soon it broke into everyone's sight.
The red and blue car body was shiny under the sunlight, and there was a bright red flower wrapped around the front of the car, which looked very festive.
"Set off the fire!"
The old village chief waved his hand. Upon hearing this, the person in charge of lighting the firecrackers quickly leaned over and lit the firecrackers.
Crackling!
In an instant, a burst of yellow-gray smoke rose at the entrance of the village, and then the muddy dirt road was covered with a thick layer of red firecracker paper.
"We're back!"
Seeing the people at the entrance of the village, the students in the carriage stood up one after another and waved their hands excitedly.
This is the first time they have returned to the village in the past six months.
As soon as they came back, they saw everyone welcoming them warmly. You can imagine how excited everyone was.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Li Jie couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the crowds of people standing at the entrance to the village.
There are very few entertainment activities these days. Things like purchasing a tractor are definitely the biggest news in the village.
Of course, the villagers gather together not just to see the tractors, but also for the dinner party later.
In this era when supplies are scarce, the joy of eating is something that future generations will not be able to understand.
A good banquet table cannot only have ingredients. Meat dishes, especially meat dishes, are a must.
The banquet held in the village today was held to the highest standards, because the banquet held today was not just to welcome the tractors.
At the same time, it is also to celebrate the establishment of Xiaoqingshan Village Furniture Factory.
Crackling!
One hundred and fifty firecrackers went off for a full three minutes, and the entrance to the village instantly became shrouded in mist, and the air was filled with a choking smell of sulfur that lingered for a long time.
As soon as the firecrackers were set off, many children happily ran into the remains of the firecrackers and began to look for the unfinished firecrackers.
winter!
winter!
winter!
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Li Jie squeezed the brakes and the tractor slowly stopped in front of everyone.
As soon as the car stopped, the scene immediately became chaotic. People in the car jumped out of the car one after another, and the onlookers gathered in front of the car and carefully looked at the tractor in front of them.
"Bingkun, you are finally back!"
Sun Wenhua walked out from the crowd, came to Li Jie, and gave Li Jie a heavy blow on the shoulder.
"How's it going? Did it go well along the way?"
"smoothly!"
Li Jie nodded and asked, "Uncle Wenhua, why didn't you see Xue Haibing and Zhao Hongxing?"
"They are over there at the factory."
Sun Wenhua pointed towards the east end of the village: "They are taking people to inventory the warehouse, saying they want to give you a surprise."
"oh."
Li Jie nodded slightly. No wonder he didn't see the shadow of the two of them. It turned out that they were busy working in the factory.
Calculating the time, I haven't seen them for half a year. Although I communicate with them every month, I still have to personally assess how well they are studying.
However, judging from their attitude, they are probably not lazy.
Thinking about it carefully, the two of them are not very old, and they are at the age where they are full of passion. How can they go around like old fritters?
"Let's not talk about them now."
Sun Wenhua laughed and moved his eyes to the tractor.
"Is this thing easy to drive?"
"Isn't it troublesome to learn?"
"No trouble."
Li Jie shook his head and said: "As long as you have hands, a normal person should be able to do it after learning it for a few hours."
Although it is a little more difficult to drive a walk-behind tractor than a tractor with a steering wheel, it is not difficult to learn.
In terms of difficulty, learning to drive a tractor is not as good as learning to ride a bicycle.
"That's good, that's good."
Sun Wenhua smiled and nodded. In his mind, driving was a very professional thing. He thought it would be more troublesome to learn to drive a tractor.
‘Bingkun’ is of great use, but you can’t use him as a driver. That wouldn’t be a waste!
"Well, Bingkun, when you take some time tomorrow, teach the young men in the village how to drive."
As he spoke, Sun Wenhua glanced ahead.
"These little guys are just waiting to be fed."
"Okay, no problem."
Li Jie patted his chest and promised.
Teaching other people to drive has always been part of his job.
In fact, he understands the thoughts of those little guys. Things like driving are no different from things between men and women.
The first time is always exciting and rare. I wish I could do it ten or eight times in one night. It only counts if I am satisfied.
But once you get started and do it every day, your body will probably be unable to bear it and your mind will feel tired.
How happy these people are now will be how embarrassing they will be in the future.
"Hey, is this car easy to drive?"
At this moment, a female educated youth with a ponytail squeezed in front of Li Jie and asked with a smile.
This female educated youth has a good relationship with Zhao Hongxing. Li Jie has a pretty good impression of her. She is also a relatively outgoing person.
"What, you want to do it too?"
"Hey, you teach me and I'll drive."
The female educated youth chuckled, rolled her eyes, and said charmingly.
Another female seductress who lusted after his body. Li Jie never got too close to such people, so he dismissed her casually.
"Let Zhao Hongxing teach you later, she can do it."
Strictly speaking, this is not a casual dismissal. Zhao Hongxing does know how to drive a tractor because she learned it from her grandfather when she was a child.
Zhao Hongxing's grandfather was a driver and could drive both large and small cars.
"I……"
The female educated youth wanted to say something more, but her words were interrupted by others.
At this time, a tall young man came closer and said hello.
"Brother Bingkun, Uncle Baogen asked you to come over."
