After returning from the commune, Zhou Yang and Lin Yi plunged into Warehouse No. 4 and made a threshing machine.
The principle of the threshing machine is very simple. It is actually just a drum and a casing. The real difficulty is its power.
The threshing machine in the commune is driven by electricity, that is, a motor is installed under the threshing machine.
But this structure is not suitable for Babaoliang Village. On the one hand, they have too few motors and not enough crushers to allocate them to threshing machines.
On the other hand, the motor they brought back from the Ninghai Iron Mine was too powerful. When used on such a small threshing machine, it was simply a big horse-drawn cart and was not suitable.
After discussion between Zhou Yang and Lin Yi, they decided to use the tractor engine as power to drive the threshing machine.
After confirming the plan, the two of them, with the cooperation of Cui Qianjin, Bai Yang and others, started cutting materials, welding, and got busy.
It started at 10:30 in the morning and was busy until 11 o'clock in the evening!
Finally, a slightly rough threshing machine was produced.
Afterwards, everyone brought the diesel engine over, started it and put on the belt.
I saw that driven by the belt, the drum in the threshing machine also rotated at high speed.
Although I don’t know how effective the threshing is, at least this thing can spin.
Therefore, Zhou Yang decided to take it to the threshing floor tomorrow to try the effect.
If it can really be done, it can indeed save a lot of manpower.
.......
As soon as the rooster crowed the next day, the whistle sounded for the production team to start work.
Zhou Yang opened his eyes and looked at his watch and found that it was not even five o'clock.
But thinking that today was the day when the production team was working, I immediately got up from the kang, quickly dressed and got up.
When Li Youwei heard the noise, she also got up.
"It's still early, please sleep a little longer!" Zhou Yang said.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I have to go to work in the fields today!" Li Youwei said.
"Didn't I say you won't be allowed to work?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"My father came over yesterday afternoon. He said that the village is short of labor this year and asked me to follow him to the fields to harvest crops if there was nothing particularly important. I agreed!"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "He is really his biological father!"
"Haha, Dad has no choice. So many strong laborers in the village have been transferred to participate in collective labor. There are so few people in the village who can work, which will inevitably affect the autumn harvest!"
Then Li Youwei continued: "As for our family, the eldest brother was injured and hospitalized, and the eldest sister-in-law stayed with him in the hospital! The second brother and the second sister-in-law went to work in the city, the third sister-in-law gave birth to a baby, and the fourth sister-in-law also just gave birth. In our family, only the father and the third sister are left. When brother and fourth brother are involved in labor, it is inevitable that people will gossip!"
"Anyway, I just read books at home and do whatever I can to help the team!"
Although Zhou Yang felt sorry for his wife, he could only nod his head when he saw her firm look.
"Then please pay attention to your health and don't be too tired. Our family does not lack that kind of work!"
"Um!"
After washing up, the couple took a simple bite, then took some chicken cakes and malted milk for their parents and Bao'er, put them on the stove, and then went out.
When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, it was already crowded.
Since it was the first day of autumn harvest, everyone who could come from home came.
Li Fengnian, the village party secretary, conducted a simple mobilization and then asked the two team captains to assign tasks!
Afterwards, more than 300 men and women from the village drove to the oats field on the other side of the river.
After the members left, Zhou Yang, Cui Qianjin, Bai Yang, Xu Siping, Zhang Zhenhua and others came to the No. 4 warehouse. Then everyone loaded the threshing machine and the diesel engine onto the donkey cart and transported it to the threshing floor.
The threshing floor has been pressed with liù ZhOU a few days ago, and the ground is very solid.
After everyone cleaned the surrounding area, they quickly installed the threshing machine and diesel engine.
At the same time, Zhou Yang asked Xu Siping to drive the donkey cart to the small river beach to bring back some summer oats.
After a while, Xu Siping came back with his donkey cart, which also carried half a cart of summer oats that had just been cut down.
Zhou Yang looked at these summer oats and found that they were shorter than last year, and the grains inside were not very full.
Obviously, the drought some time ago still affected the growth of summer oats.
Since there was still some dew on it, Zhou Yang did not conduct the experiment immediately. Instead, he asked people to spread the summer oats on the ground and let the sun dry them first, and then try the threshing effect after the sun was almost dry.
After doing this, everyone returned to Warehouse No. 4 again.
After returning to the warehouse, Lin Yi took out the grinder drawings that Zhou Yang gave him yesterday, pointed out the areas he had questions about, and asked Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang immediately explained his design ideas to Lin Yi one by one!
To be honest, Lin Yi was really shocked after listening to Zhou Yang's explanation.
As a mechanical expert, Lin Yi naturally knows about crushers, but in comparison, he feels that the crusher designed by Zhou Yang is more reasonable and precise.
Although I don’t know the effect of the final product, based on this design plan, it should be good!
At that moment, he couldn't wait to start cutting materials and prepare to make a crusher!
Originally, Zhou Yang wanted to stay here to help, but just as he was about to start working, he saw Tan Shiqing rushing over.
"Zhou Zhiqing, someone is looking for you ahead!"
Zhou Yang immediately put down what he was doing and asked, "Who is looking for me?"
"I don't know you. They are a middle-aged couple in their fifties. It's just that their accents are a bit strange. I can't understand them. I can only roughly recognize your name!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang was stunned.
A middle-aged man in his fifties, could it be that his parents are here?
Thinking about it, I think it's unlikely. First of all, although my parents speak Beijing dialect, it is indeed very different from the Saibei dialect, but if they speak slowly, they won't be incomprehensible.
Secondly, Tan Shiqing also met his parents, so he shouldn't forget them after one night. This girl's memory is not that bad.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang thought of the possibility that Lin Wanwan's parents were here.
Calculating the time, it was almost twenty days before she wrote to her parents. If they had left as soon as possible after receiving the letter, they should have arrived by then.
Moreover, they are from Hucheng and speak Wu dialect. Part of this language is pronunciation of ancient Chinese, which is indeed incomprehensible to northerners.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately asked: "Did they say where they came from?"
"I seem to have heard them mention Shanghai City, but I don't know if that's the case. Their words are really difficult to understand. I...I..."
Zhou Yang immediately said: "It's not your fault!"
Then, he left Tan Shiqing behind and ran directly towards the brigade office!
As soon as he turned the corner, Zhou Yang saw two middle-aged men with gray hair standing at the door of the office.
The man was wearing a decent blue-black tunic suit, a pair of old leather shoes, and a black luggage bag in his hand. He didn't look like an ordinary commune member or worker.
The woman was wearing a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of beige trousers on the lower body. Although she was not very fashionable, she could tell at a glance that she was not a local.
After all, most local people, regardless of gender, wear blue, green and black, and it is rare to see such brightly colored clothes.
After seeing how these two people were dressed, Zhou Yang was even more certain that this should be Lin Wanwan's parents here!
Immediately, he strode towards the couple!
