Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua thought that the installment payment would take at least half a month to discuss, after all, efficiency is very slow these days.

But she miscalculated one thing: there were several unsold tractors in the warehouse of the agricultural machinery station. They would just rust if they were left in the warehouse, so it would be better to find a way to sell them.

In fact, the wealthy communes also bought back the walk-behind tractors and then distributed them to various production teams, allowing them to pay them back when they had money.

Now, there is no need to go through the commune, and we can directly connect with the agricultural machinery station. The process is relatively simple.

Of course, Zhang Sanxi also contributed a lot. When he returned home that day and saw the gift Zhang Xiuhua had given him, he felt guilty and ungrateful. It was unreasonable for him not to help Zhang Xiuhua get things done after receiving such an expensive gift.

Zhang Sanxi's father-in-law Liu Mangui was the workshop director at the agricultural machinery station and treated his son-in-law like his own son. When someone in the factory mocked Zhang Sanxi for being a live-in son-in-law, he dared to go to their house and scold him.

Those people in the factory were no match for him. So after a while, no one dared to say anything mean.

The fact that Zhang Sanxi can thrive at the agricultural machinery station is closely related to his father-in-law.

It is impossible to say that Liu Mangui was not on guard against Zhang Sanxi. However, he is open-minded and does not like to be mean. Instead, he advises his daughter to be more open-minded and not to take love affairs to heart. The key is to stand up for herself. As long as Zhang Sanxi lives with her steadily, she will truly treat him as a relative. Zhang Sanxi cannot be bullied, otherwise even the most open-minded people will have some problems in the long run.

Even if Zhang Sanxi is a white-eyed cruel man who can't be supported, she shouldn't give up on herself. As long as the child she gives birth to still has the surname Liu, she won't lose.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Zhang Sanxi had been competing for food with his two older brothers and younger brother since he was a child. As he was in the middle, he was destined not to get much favor from his parents.

Meeting a broad-minded person like his father-in-law, he learned a lot from him.

Uh, we've gone off topic.

Liu Mangui learned that Lijiatun could pay in installments. After asking Zhang Sanxi about the annual surplus, he was the first to raise his hand when the leading cadres held a meeting to vote.

So when Zhang Sanxi was taking a break, he rode his bike back to report the good news.

The team leader patted Zhang Sanxi on the shoulder three times in a row, praising him for being a good comrade and doing a great thing for the village.

This matter has been finalized, and the next step is to discuss the payment of membership fees with the members.

3200 yuan, of which 1100 yuan is required to be paid in the first year.

This is not a small amount, it is equivalent to paying half of the money previously distributed. This year, every household has bought quilts, and it is hard to say whether there is any extra money on hand.

The brigade cadres held a meeting to discuss how to pay their share.

The brigade accountant suggested that the payment be made according to the population, so that it would be easier to collect the money.

But others think this is inappropriate. "If it is divided according to population, some families will not get any money at all. For example, if there are only orphans and widows in the family, they will not get any money every year, so it doesn't make sense to ask them to pay their share."

Finally, the team reached a unanimous decision.

This year, those who earned ten work points participated in paying the share. Why these people? Because the function of the hand tractor is to plow the land. Without a tractor, the land has to be plowed, which is a ten-work-point job, saving them work. Of course, they have to pay the share.

This logic is impeccable.

According to the brigade accountant's statistics, the entire production team had a total of 187 ten-work-point units, which averaged out to yuan per person.

Finally, the accountant of the brigade decided that each person should pay RMB 5.90, and the remaining amount would be paid next year.

After the brigade cadres finalized the decision, they began to call these strong laborers to a meeting. Most of the people who could earn ten work points in the team were men. Of course, now that men and women are paid the same for the same work, some women also earn ten work points.

When these people learned that the team asked them to pay a share of the money, they immediately went crazy.

Five yuan and ninety cents is not a small amount of money. Why should they pay more than others? They earn more because their family conditions are too poor. If they earn more, they have to pay more. So they will earn nine work points starting next year.

There are more than one or two people who have this idea.

The team leader quickly promised them one thing, "As long as you participate in buying the tractor, after plowing the land, any work you do will be counted as 10 work points."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Even though these people have a low level of education, when it comes to work points, they are all outstanding.

In fact, it was not possible to earn 10 work points every day in the team. For tasks like weeding, even a strong laborer could only earn 8 work points.

If they earned ten work points for working in the fields, they would earn two or three yuan more than in previous years. And this was not a one-time deal, it would be the same in the future.

Everyone discussed with each other, explained the benefits involved, and finally agreed to pay the money.

After paying the money, the team leader went to the commune to get a letter of introduction.

When Secretary He of the commune learned about this, he immediately asked about the whole story. When he learned that they had come up with a good idea, he even praised them for doing a good job.

The team leader, the team accountant, and Zhang Sanxi took the letter of introduction and money to the agricultural machinery station, paid the money, and drove back a tractor.

Of course it wasn't them who were driving it, but the technicians at the agricultural machinery station.

At this time, the technicians are equivalent to trainers, who have to teach them step by step how to drive a tractor.

The captain had already decided to let his son drive the tractor, so that his vacant scorekeeper position could be given to Zhang Xiuhua.

So when they got home, the team leader asked his son to learn from him. Of course, other team leaders also sent their sons to learn from him.

The job of a tractor driver is not easy, because he has to sit on the tractor and steer it all the time. During the busy farming season, tractor drivers must take turns to plow more land while they rest.

When the tractor drove back to the village, the rumbling sound immediately attracted the villagers' attention, and many children circled around the machine.

Zhang Xiuhua's children all ran over when they heard the noise. Even Zhuzhu, who had just learned to walk, followed behind them.

Almost all the villagers came over to watch, and everyone was trying to figure out how to operate this thing.

The technicians taught them how to operate the machine. The young men were probably worried that the machine was too expensive and were reluctant to shake it hard, fearing that it would break. They shook it several times and it went out of commission. Others watched anxiously, "Oh, it's smoking, could it be broken?"

In fact, smoking is normal, and not smoking is a big problem.

The children's faces turned red and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

The technician had probably never seen such a stupid person before, and his attitude was a bit arrogant, "Can you please get a smart person to learn from us?"

The villagers looked at each other. There were two middle school students, the smartest kids in the village. It would be a waste of time if it was someone else.

Zhang Xiuhua was annoyed to see the technicians looking down on the villagers, so she said, "Let me give it a try."

When the villagers heard that a woman was going to try it, they thought she had driven a tractor in Jiang Province and looked over curiously.

The technician looked at her suspiciously, "You can shake it? Don't break it."

Zhang Xiuhua said calmly, "I shook it!"

In her previous life, Zhang Xiuhua worked on a farm to earn money. At that time, she also drove a hand tractor, which was very simple to operate.

She took the crank, held one in each hand, palms down, and cranked it clockwise. When it reached a certain speed, she would feel the pressure relieved, but she could not take out the crank at this time. Instead, she had to use more force. The tractor started and the crank slid out from the slope.

It worked in one go. Zhang Xiuhua explained the key points of hand-cranking to the captain's son, "Don't be afraid. Use some strength. Don't be afraid of breaking the machine. Come on! Go up and try it first."

The captain's son jumped on. The tractor was moving very slowly, so as long as he kept the direction, he wouldn't be dragged into the ditch. He needed to learn how to change gears and turn the direction.

The villagers watched for a while and felt bored, and as the wind was too strong, they all went home.

After Zhang Xiuhua taught the captain’s sons how to shake, she also took her sons home.

Before leaving, she looked back at the walk-behind tractor. She remembered that the walk-behind tractor could be used to make popcorn sticks after being modified. She wondered if the team leader would agree to the modification!
