Two days later, Xu Yin helped the villagers who came to ask for the tractor to plow the land and returned the tractor to the farm as scheduled.
Seeing the shiny new tractor and the fuel tank filled with diesel, Master Yu praised her for her ability to do things and asked her if she would be interested in driving a tractor on the farm after graduation.
Xu Yin: "..."
A bit embarrassing.
"Hahaha..." Master Yu laughed, "I know you girls love fair skin and don't like this kind of work under the sun, so I was just kidding. Okay, you go home quickly, it will get dark soon, these do not forget."
Master Yu gave her a lot of melons, tangerines, and crisp pears grown on the farm.
Xu Yin didn't have the nerve to take it for nothing, so she walked away and stuffed a box of ginger biscuits and white rabbit toffee into his arms that had been stored in the system warehouse so that she could feed her little nephew at any time. She pushed the bicycle and ran away.
"This kid..." Master Yu looked at the expensive biscuits and toffee in his arms and smiled.
The busy farming season has not yet ended, but Old Xu’s family is much more relaxed this year. They have plowed and fertilized the fields in advance, and are waiting for the rice transplanting.
There was light rain falling in the sky, and Xu's mother was not so anxious anymore.
The millet was exposed to the sun four or five times and dried completely. The grain that was handed in was reserved, and the rest was filled into several large baskets and carried into the barn basket by basket.
"This year's harvest is good. The salary your brother sent me will be enough if I don't buy black market grain."
Xu's mother peeled the pods and occasionally looked up at the yard.
Xu Yin held an umbrella, covered the chicken coop with a weatherboard, fed a handful of rice bran, and walked back to the eaves.
"Since there is enough food, don't worry about cooking just a little bit. The meat is not enough. Why don't we eat enough?"
Xu's mother was angry and funny: "Three meals in the past few days have been dry rice, and you haven't been fed yet?"
"I'm full, but my sister-in-law has to eat alone and two people make up for her. She's pregnant. Forget about other things, she has to be full, right?"
Xu's mother curled her lips when she heard this: "She doesn't go to the ground, so what's the use of eating so much."
During the busy farming period, the whole family was busy working in the fields, but the eldest daughter-in-law was hiding in the house, saying she was making clothes. Who knows if she was lazy.
She couldn't stand it. She only left a little bit for each meal.
"She doesn't work in the fields, but she makes clothes. Our family's income depends entirely on her."
Xu Yin took a small bench and sat down next to Xu's mother. She peeled the edamame beans with her and broke them in a low voice.
"Mom, think about it, city people eat commercial grain, and their monthly salary is just that little, right? My sister-in-law has earned enough in the past few months. If she buys commercial grain to eat, she will eat so much white rice every day that she can't finish it."
"Okay, okay, who am I doing this for?"
Xu's mother poked her daughter's head with hatred.
"You little heartless boy, help your sister-in-law deal with me now."
"How is that possible!"
Xu Yin was busy begging for mercy.
"I'm also thinking about our family. If my sister-in-law gets angry and stops making clothes, won't our family have no income? Besides, isn't she carrying your grandson and my little nephew in her belly? Sister-in-law Eat enough, isn't it the people of our old Xu family who will benefit? It's better than giving birth to a thin, sickly boy, right? If you really give birth to a sick boy, Mom, you won't have to spend money to feed him in the future. Medicine and injection? The gain outweighs the loss."
Seeing that Xu's mother looked relaxed, Xu Yin continued to coax:
"Also, Mom, I have thought about it. I will major in fashion design in the college entrance examination. This industry has just started now, and it will definitely become popular in the past few decades. My sister-in-law is good at making clothes. I want her to teach me. Not only do I need to become a teacher outside, Treating guests, giving gifts, and charging apprenticeship fees. We are our own family, so this expense will definitely be saved, but I am afraid that my sister-in-law will not be willing to give out all the money..."
"She dares!"
"Oh mom, we need a gentle policy."
Xu's mother said suspiciously: "What are you pregnant with? Meat? I've never heard of it! I've only heard about the big stick policy on the radio."
Xu Yin said quietly: "That's for the enemy. Can you use a big stick against your own people?"
Xu's mother thought about it carefully: That's right! No matter what, when a daughter-in-law marries into her own family, she is from the old Xu family, and she still carries the seed of the old Xu family in her belly. She cannot be called an "enemy" in any case.
"Okay, let's do what you said and feed her. What else? Have a better attitude? When did I treat her badly?" Xu's mother's voice became louder again.
Seeing the disapproval on her daughter's face, she curled her lips and changed her words: "Okay, okay, whatever you say will be done."
"Lao Xu! Is Lao Xu at home?"
While the couple were chatting, the village party secretary walked into the yard with his hands behind his back.
"Old party secretary, what brought you here? The road is slippery on a rainy day, so be careful." Xu's mother stood up to greet her.
The village party secretary came to Xu Yin to help the brigade drive a tractor to transport public grain.
Didn't the village's tractor team go to the city to pull bricks a few days ago, and they just came back today. Those who failed to catch Xu Yin's borrowed tractor and had to wait in line for the old scalper to plow their fields felt unbalanced.
Seeing that the young men from the tractor team had only just come back and were still laughing and joking on the side of the truck, I couldn't help but complain in front of them, saying they didn't care about priorities.
Then those young and energetic young men gave up their responsibilities.
"The brigade will definitely have to deal with this matter, but the top priority is to deliver the food as soon as possible. I heard from the weather forecast that there may be heavy rain later. I don't know when the rain will stop. If the food delivery is delayed..."
Xu Yin responded readily: "Okay! When will we set off?"
She was also very happy to be able to do something practical for the village.
By the way, try to see if you can unlock the advanced driving skills after these two trips.
The junior level was rewarded with a book, which covered driving skills and maintenance issues under various circumstances; the intermediate level was awarded a car; the advanced level did not know what the prize would be.
This made her a little eager to try.
In the drizzle and mist, the brigade headquarters was crowded with people.
When everyone heard that Xu Jianjun and other tractor veterans were giving up their burdens and not delivering public grain to the brigade, everyone was so anxious that they rushed over from the fields.
Xu Jianjun and his younger students leaned against the doorpost and smoked:
"Aren't you quite capable? If someone can drive better than me, then go find him!"
"That's right, go find him!"
"Brother Jianjun has been driving a tractor for four or five years, but he can't compare to a newbie? Damn!"
When the old branch secretary arrived with Xu Yin, the two sides were having a war of words.
"What's the fuss about? Stop the quarrel! Each family brings the grain to the brigade, weighs it first and then puts it on the truck. It will be transported first today. If there is time, it will be transported again in the afternoon. If not, it will be tomorrow. In short, it will not delay everyone's delivery of grain. "
"Did the old party secretary invite the precious daughter of the old Xu family?"
Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and clapped.
"Now everyone, please relax. I have seen Yinyin's skills with my own eyes. They are indeed better than Jianjun!"
Her family has a large population and only has five or six acres of rice fields.
But Xu Yin came out and plowed the plow in less than half an hour. The efficiency... wasn't what she said. Several young men in the tractor team couldn't even keep up.
Xu Jianjun couldn't help but stand up straight: "..."
Is that a mistake?
A little girl who can drive a tractor?
Still better than him?
Are these people bragging about not even drafting?
