Time travel to 1984

Chapter 65 Buying a Walk-behind Tractor

The economic conditions are getting better, and I feel tired of eating bacon all the time.

Before buying a TV in the county seat, the three brothers went to cut a piece of beautiful two-knife meat.

Cooked in the evening.

Make a large bowl of fragrant garlic sprouts twice-cooked pork.

Each person in the family held a No. [-] rice bowl.

The bowl is filled with rice and twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts.

The feature film on the TV began to play.

A familiar song sounded.

"The shoes are broken
broken hat

The cassock on the body is broken
……

Where there is injustice, there is me

……

"

Memories of Zhang Jinhai's childhood came to mind instantly.

In the age of the previous life.

The Zhang family can't afford a TV at all.

It can only basically keep the family fed.

At that time, the entire production team had only one TV.

If you want to watch this TV show.

It is necessary to make an appointment with brothers Zhao Jin and Zhao Jun.

Ask the family for a coin or a penny note.

Over the mountains.

Go to the house of the only person with a TV, and you need to pay a coin to enter and watch TV.

People in those days watched TV.

Eyes are glued to the TV.

Not even the ads.

Unlike later, there was a rich cultural life such as the Internet, a lot of TV, movies, online articles, and short videos.

At that time, before there was no TV in the rural areas, most people listened to radios, tape recorders and the like.

There are also some paper novels.

Such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Fengshen Bang, Outlaws of the Marsh, and Journey to the West are more common.

Dream of the Red Chamber is relatively rare.

Popular martial arts novels.

There are even some handwritten novels, which have been torn apart by the time they reach you.

At the critical moment, the handwriting is unclear, and the storyline is all based on imagination.

Thinking of the past, Zhang Jinhai's eyes became moist.

Silently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes.

A large family watched the program on TV, exuding natural cheerfulness.

From this day on, Zhang Jinhai needs to slowly train the Zhang family to learn how to watch news broadcasts.

Especially the four brothers of the Zhang family must always pay attention to the news broadcast.

Because there are many major policy trends in it.

Why do some people always take the opportunity?

A large part of the reason is that they understand the future trend information hidden in the news broadcast.

Why do some people always miss the opportunity?

A large part of the reason is that they misunderstood the news they saw and did not study the deep logic inside.

On Sunday, the second, third, and fourth brothers of the Zhang family rode on bicycles.

Go to the county seat and take a long-distance bus to Lemei City.

They need to find a point of sale for the tractor.

Lemei City must be a big city for the three brothers who have never crossed the county border.

Only Zhang Jinhai, with the memory of the future time, stood calmly by the side of the road.

Wait for the taxi to come.

When Zhang Jinhai stopped the taxi and sat in the front row, the second and third children were still in a daze.

Zhang Jinhai greeted with a smile: "Come up quickly."

Forget it, I guess I don't know how to open the door.

Zhang Jinhai returned to the right side again, helped to open the car door and said, "Get in the car, we are not familiar with the roads in this city.

It is more convenient to take a taxi. "

Zhang Jinshan's lips moved, he wanted to ask what a taxi was but was too embarrassed to ask.

In this era, the taxis in Lemei City are rather strange, the steering wheel is on the right.

Unlike future cars, the steering wheel is on the left.

Zhang Jinhai chatted with the driver: "Master, do you know where there is a tractor?"

Driver: "Of course I do.

The economy has developed rapidly in the past two years.

There are many places where tractors are needed.

I have to pull customers several times a day to buy tractors. "

Zhang Jinshan said with satisfaction: "Then just ask the master to take us to the place where tractors are sold."

Arrived at the destination.

Zhang Jinhai paid the taxi fare according to the metered amount.

The three brothers got out of the taxi and Zhang Jincheng complained: "What kind of taxi is this.

Only took a few steps.

It's too expensive to charge that much.

Why didn't he go grab it. "

Zhang Jinhai explained with a smile: "Forget it.

In the city, there is nothing that does not cost money.

You have to get used to it slowly.

Don't bring the desire to spend basically nothing in the countryside to the city.

Otherwise, it will be very tiring. "

Three brothers step into a tractor sales shop.

As soon as I inquired, the type and model of the tractor were only the ones that are commonly used on the road.

Walk-behind diesel tractor.

four wheels.

The two wheels where the engine is located are smaller.

The two wheels of the cargo box are larger.

The price is a one-time price, no bargaining.

2800 yuan a car.

And there is only one place in Lemei City that sells this walk-behind tractor.

There is no choice at all.

Zhang Jinhai discussed with the owner of the tractor sales shop how to drive the walk-behind tractor back.

As a result, there is already a market outside tractor shops.

Some tractor drivers are out there waiting to make quick bucks.

After bargaining, pay the price of 50 yuan.

A driver helped drive the tractor back to Zhang's house.

In places where the road is smooth and there are few cars, it can also teach the driving skills of the second and third children.

And also promised to pack the church.

Ok, now the problem is completely solved.

This tractor driver is a small man, everyone calls him Master Xiang.

Master Xiang first showed the three brothers how the tractor started.

Mr. Xiang took out a brand new joystick stored under the seat cushion of the tractor.

The left hand pinches a part, and the right hand inserts the rocker into a small hole in the tractor head.

Then shake vigorously, after shaking a few times.

The tractor started "cracking".

By the way, a pile of black smoke will be spewed out.

Master Xiang sat in the driving seat and asked Lao Zhang Jinshan to sit on his right side and observe carefully.

Zhang Jincheng and Zhang Jinhai naturally sat in the trunk of the car.

After Xiaoxiang drove out of the city smoothly, he explained while driving.

Run nearly 20 kilometers all the way.

Zhang Jinshan feels that he has learned it.

Strongly request to get on the car for a test drive.

Master Xiang knows that these new drivers are addicted and courageous.

But it doesn't have to be really learned.

So I found a relatively spacious dam on the side of the road.

Let Zhang Jincheng and Zhang Jinhai get off the car.

Turn off the fire.

Let Zhang Jinshan learn from the start.

As a result, Zhang Jinshan started the tractor for the first time.

Clearly inexperienced.

After the engine ignited successfully, I forgot to take out the rocker in time.

Zhang Jinshan reached out to grab the joystick.

Master Xiaoxiang stopped him loudly and quickly turned off the tractor.

Even if it is handled like this.

Zhang Jinshan's hand was still injured by the joystick, and the pain was excruciating.

Constantly shaking hands, blowing hands, calling.

Seeing that Zhang Jinshan was injured, Zhang Jincheng still asked to learn how to start the tractor.

If you don't learn it, the walk-behind tractor that you bought back with a huge sum of 2800 yuan will become a decoration.

This time Master Xiang also became quite serious.

Did not let Zhang Jincheng get started directly.

Instead, he took out the rocker, squeezed the pressure reducer, and slowly shook the rocker.

Explain the key points of the left and right hands and eyes very clearly.

And repeated it three times.

Make sure Zhang Jincheng has seen it clearly.
