Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 171
Uncle Yuanchao drove his newly bought tractor on the way back to Hantun. He Ping and Uncle Accountant sat in the tractor's body and listened to him bragging about his difficult journey when he first learned how to use a tractor.

"You don't know that in order to become a tractor driver, I spent two years getting a driver's license. In the first year, I was a helper at the agricultural machinery station. I was familiar with the car, familiar with the machinery, parts, and working principles. And the maintenance method, dismantled and reassembled, reassembled and dismantled. It took me a year before I was allowed to touch the car and started to learn to drive a tractor. It took two full years to get my driver's license. After I got that driver's license, I was so happy. My daughter-in-law agreed to our marriage just because I was a tractor driver."

With an intoxicated expression on his face, Uncle Yuanchao recalled the glorious past.

The accountant said: "Don't listen to him talking nonsense. This kid is just too stupid. He has been there for several months and still hasn't figured out what a tractor is. Can he not let him learn more time?"

Uncle Yuanchao didn't feel annoyed when Uncle Accountant revealed the truth, "I'm a good learner, now you just say, who else in the team can repair tractors besides me."

"You're just bragging about Hantun. Are there any other tractor drivers in the team? Sorry."

Uncle Accountant introduced He Ping and found out that Uncle Yuanchao was given the position after the death of the old tractor driver in the team.

"Hey, then I'm also the only tractor driver in Hantun." Uncle Yuanchao said boldly.

He Ping wanted to laugh when he heard what he said. He didn't have the heart to dismantle Uncle Yuanchao's dream. Soon there will be more people in the team who can drive, not only tractors, but also trucks and cars. I don't know when Uncle Yuanchao will be able to drive. How will this bluffing personality behave.

The tractor entered the chicken farm, and many members of the working community came out to watch the fun. Although they knew that He Ping and the others were going to buy a tractor, everyone still gathered together to watch the fun, and everyone gathered around the tractor to comment.

"Hehe, this is the Great Eastern Red."

"He Ping, how much is this tractor? Looks like it's much better than the old one in our team."

"Look at how majestic this front face is, and how positive this look is."

The big red tractor is parked in the chicken farm. The front face is unusually atmospheric, and the center grid is radiating. There is a rising sun on the lower part, and the center grid is the sun shining in all directions.Above the China Net, you can see the words "Dongfanghong".

Because of the relationship between the front and rear drive, the two rear drive tires are very tall, and the momentum is much stronger than some off-road vehicles of later generations.

Everyone looked at the tractor with greedy eyes, but they just started to touch it. After all, there are basically no people in the team who can drive it. The only users of this thing are currently limited to South Korea and North Korea.

Speaking of which, Han Yuanchao is two or three years older than He Ping, and he is called Uncle because of his seniority.

Now that there are more and more machines in the team, the training of drivers has to be put on the agenda, and it is not enough to rely on Han Yuanchao alone.

He Ping had greeted Liang Yuejin earlier, and planned to send the young men in the team to learn how to drive in their factory. After all, it would be very expensive to learn how to drive if the traffic department supervised him. Even with He Ping's personality, he felt very painful.

Throwing people to Liang Yuejin's printing factory, and learning to drive and repair cars from the master is the same. Just ask Zhang Guoqiang for help during the exam.

He Ping discussed this matter with the old captain, and the old captain readily agreed that it would allow the youngsters in the team to learn one more skill, and the cost was not expensive.

However, learning to drive is a big deal these days, and being a driver is a highly sought-after profession. They are all members of the team, so whoever is allowed to learn and who is not allowed to learn.

The old captain slapped his head and drew lots!
He Ping complained in his heart, can't you save something new, besides drawing lots, it is drawing lots.

However, this can be regarded as the only way out. Compared with the grandiose examinations and selections, this method seems to be the most time-saving, labor-saving and relatively fair method.

The next day, the old captain shouted all the members of the team to the warehouse of the brigade with a loud horn. When the matter of learning to drive was mentioned, the members of the team were instantly blown away.

Learning to drive, in this era, is no less than an opportunity to reincarnate and assign jobs to people in the production team. After all, driving is a serious craft these days, and the kind that can eat food supplies.

"It's all bad." He Ping interrupted everyone's quarrel, "This learning to drive is regarded as an entrusted training for our chicken farm. It has nothing to do with the team. The fee is also paid by our chicken farm. The work can only be arranged by our chicken farm, do you understand?"

"I hear what you mean, if we finish learning how to drive, we can only work for the chicken farm?"

When He Ping heard someone questioning from below, he glanced at the member contemptuously, "What's wrong? The chicken farm has to train you for free? Should I find you another job?"

The crowd roared with laughter, and booed: "That's right, what good things are you thinking of? Why are you planning to let people spend money on you for nothing?"

"Thinking blind, don't you think I'm a fool?"

"Hahaha……"

He Ping looked at the man's blushing face with embarrassment, resentment and helplessness, and he was very relieved that the vast majority of members still understood the reason.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you something. This time we are asking comrades from Yingcheng Printing Factory to help you train. We need you to stay in Yingcheng for two months. When you get to the place, you can do whatever you are asked to do. While learning how to drive I also want to help others with some work, can you accept it?"

"Yes!" There is an opportunity to learn to drive for free, how could the members refuse, and doing some work for others is nothing.

"Okay, now let me talk about our requirements. This time the selection requirements are a little looser than last time." He Ping looked at the expectant eyes of the people below, and paused for a while.

"What's the condition, what do you mean?"

"This shriveled calf, make it up again."

"Say it quickly, don't talk about it."

He Ping saw that the public was angry, so he said: "Male, 18 to 40 years old, healthy, good eyesight, um, literate, five people are tentatively trained."

After announcing the conditions for the selection, the old captain threw the prepared slips of paper to everyone, "Come on, fill in the papers one by one, and fill in the ones that are suitable."

After everyone finished writing, the old captain took back the lots, gathered them together, and drew out five paper lots under the attention of everyone.

"Liu Jiaming, Han Zhaogui, Han Zhaoguo, Han Yuwei, Han Dongbao."

As soon as the old captain finished announcing, the crowd buzzed, not because they were dissatisfied with the result of the lottery, but some people still couldn't help cursing, complaining about their bad ideas and the old captain's bad hands, The form has been used in the production team for 30 to [-] years, and the members still recognize this result.
