Chapter 960: Going to buy a tractor

~25 min read 4,912 words

The couple had an unusual experience. Lin Xiuqing was so nervous that her whole body trembled. After it was over, her legs couldn't stand straight and she almost slid to the ground. Fortunately, Ye Yaodong supported her from behind.

And he was full of satisfaction, smiling with a lewd and proud face.

Lin Xiuqing was angry when she saw it and scolded in a low voice, "I told you not to come, not to come, but you insisted. I don't know if the movement was heard."

"It won't be. Didn't I do it quite lightly? Alright, alright, you go lie down, I'll fetch water for you."

He pulled up his pants, went out shirtless, and nimbly fetched a basin of warm water for her.

Lin Xiuqing glared at him while washing. "There's still a long time before the house addition is finished. You should behave yourself from now on."

"We'll see, we'll see. It's a bit early to say now."

"Don't look at what time it is. You could endure it when you went to Zhejiang Province for two months before..."

"That's different. That was a group of old men. Now you are lying by my side sleeping. Can it be the same?"

"Then go sleep in another room."

"No, if you're embarrassed, we can go to the beach at the entrance, truly using the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed."

"Shut up!"

"Okay."

Having taken enough advantage, he didn't argue anymore. When told to shut up, he shut up. Moreover, he was a little sleepy, and there was no sound next door. Only the whispering of the couple was indeed abrupt.

Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to speak again. When wringing the towel, she was especially gentle, fearing the sound of water would reach next door. If they heard it, they would know what they had done, and how awkward it would be to meet the next day.

After she got into bed, she still wanted to scold him twice, but she didn't expect snoring to sound beside her. This made her angry again, so she could only take advantage of his sleep and slap him twice more.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Ye Yaodong woke up instantly and asked hurriedly.

"Like a pig."

"Ah? Nothing? If nothing, then I'll sleep."

Before long, the snoring sounded again. Lin Xiuqing kicked him, snatched his quilt, turned her back to him, and closed her eyes.

At night, it was Ye Yaodong's turn to go to sea, letting his father watch at home. The two took turns, which made it easier for both to relax and slow down.

He had to go to the city to take the train early the day after tomorrow, so he just took it as a rest.

The train in the early morning would arrive in the provincial capital probably by dusk. He would definitely have to stay in the provincial capital for one night, and could only go to drive the car back the next day.

After returning from sea, Ye Yaodong went to the village committee to re-issue an identity certificate, also issued one for Lin Guang, and then asked the village committee to help issue a certificate for the individual purchase of a tractor for the transport of local specialties.

Then he went to find Lin Guang. Uncle Pei had gone to sea, and he was idle at home anyway, so he just called him to accompany him, and the two would have company.

That night, he asked Aqing to prepare the money for him, because he didn't know how to pay for the tractor. Ye Yaodong only asked her to take three thousand yuan.

If he really had to pay the full amount to pick up the car, it wouldn't be a big problem. Just take it as a deposit, get a receipt, and such a big state-owned unit couldn't cheat him.

When it was time to drive, he would go over and pay the balance. Anyway, a large sum of money was pressed there, and they wouldn't have any opinions. The purpose of this trip was also to drive the motorcycle back first.

"Do you really want to buy a 25-horsepower one? It seems unnecessary. It's too expensive, almost half as expensive. We can just buy the 12-horsepower one like Uncle Zhou's."

Lin Xiuqing was reluctant to spend so much money. Ordering so many boats only cost a deposit of ten thousand yuan, and buying three shops only cost nine thousand yuan. A tractor cost six thousand. She felt it was unnecessary to buy an expensive one.

They were all tractors, and they could all be driven. There was no need to buy one that was so much more expensive.

"How can it be the same? The horsepower is so different. A 25-horsepower one can also be faster back and forth, saving the trouble of bumping on the road for so long. Time cost is also cost. Moreover, this car can be used for a lifetime after buying it. Small horsepower will definitely be eliminated very quickly."

"Since we are going to buy it, we must buy one with more horsepower. At that time, of course, we can carry more goods. Like that fish sauce, a big bucket is several tons. If the horsepower is too small, what if it can't move?"

"You haven't even sold it yet, and you're already planning."

"This is called planning ten steps ahead. We must plan in advance. Buying a car is a lifetime thing. Listen to me, you won't be wrong. When have I ever made a wrong decision?"

Lin Xiuqing could only continue counting the money. "Then just take three thousand one hundred yuan?"

"The car repair costs 120 yuan. You're not going to give me the twenty yuan in change? And don't I have to stay in the provincial capital for a day? Doesn't eating and drinking cost money? You're not going to give it to me?"

"I didn't even settle the thirty-eight yuan with you last time, and I don't know how much change you intercepted later. You said it was change yourself, so why give it?"

Ye Yaodong glared at her. "That's one thing, this is another. The previous accounts have already been cleared. Now that it should be given, of course you have to give it to me."

"Don't tell me you spent all those dozens of yuan?"

"How is that possible!"

"Then that's it. Anyway, the money in your pocket has to be spent, so spend it first."

Spend it???

"Is 'spend it' this kind of 'spend it'?"

"What? Yes. I'm letting you take out the money in your pocket and spend it first. Anyway, you have to spend it. The motorcycle is driven by you, and the tractor is also wanted by you. Aren't they all yours? Then isn't it the same if you pay for it yourself? Shouldn't you spend money on yourself?"

Ye Yaodong was a little confused. Hearing her say this, he felt it made sense. They were all cars he wanted, so it seemed there was nothing wrong with him paying for them?

Before he could ponder whether he should take out his private money to subsidize it, Lin Xiuqing handed the stack of counted banknotes to him, instantly interrupting his train of thought as he circled into a maze.

"Count it, is it 310 notes?"

He hurriedly took it, dipped his thumb in saliva, and began to count.

The thought of arguing and keeping his private money had long since vanished.

"That's right, that's three thousand one. Put it in the two pockets of the pants I'm going to wear tomorrow. Next time you make clothes for me, make them longer, preferably covering the butt. This way, the clothes are thin in midsummer, and it's not easy to put things, but it can cover the bottom."

"Got it. Don't you want to bring a set of clothes to change?"

"No, it's troublesome. Anyway, I'll be back after staying for one night. It's a bit chilly, so why take a bath."

"Alright, then I'll cook a few eggs for you at night..."

"Don't, don't prepare anything. I'll be at the train station at six or seven o'clock, are you afraid there's nothing to eat? The train station entrance is full of food. I'll just buy something to eat after getting off the car and bring it on the train."

"Isn't this to bring it from home, so you don't have to spend money outside?"

"Is it short of those few cents or a few yuan?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him. "Talking so rich and imposing, people only earn a few cents a day weaving nets."

"Times are different now. Whatever is convenient, just do it. It also saves you from having to get up in the middle of the night to burn fire and cook."

Mainly, boiled eggs don't have much taste. In the mouths of other children, boiled eggs are delicious and can't be eaten every day.

But he wasn't someone who hadn't eaten anything. Eating this was too choking, dry and dry. He might as well gnaw on corn or sweet potatoes.

"Then whatever you want. If you don't want me to prepare, then I won't prepare. Anyway, you have pocket money in your pocket. Buy whatever you want to eat. You're such a big person, you won't starve yourself."

"Hmm, right, right."

"Then you'll go empty-handed, don't bring anything? Don't even need a cloth bag?"

"That's still needed. Take one for me to carry, and the two certificates in my pocket, I'm afraid they'll be lost. It's better to put them in the cloth bag."

"Good."

After preparing everything, the couple went to sleep, and looked for the children.

Ye Yaodong was also woken up by the creaking sound of the bed next door at night, as well as the creaking sound of the door opening, and all kinds of rustling sounds. His elder brother and second brother were up to go to work.

He squinted for a while. After the movement was gone and he vaguely heard a little tractor sound, he also climbed up, preparing to set off for the city.

Sleeping in the open air is indeed not good. A little movement will affect each other. Fortunately, it only needs to persist a little longer. Take advantage of good weather to do more, and when the weather is bad, there is still a nylon canopy to cover it.

Anyway, when it rained in the past, it rained heavily outside and lightly inside the house. It wasn't that it hadn't happened. Just make do for a few days and everything would be fine.

Because Ye Yaodong had explained it before, the old lady and Aqing didn't follow him to get busy when he got up at night.

After all, he had been to the provincial capital. Once familiar, twice skilled. This time, it wasn't that important, and he was going out at night every three days, which was a common occurrence.

After Lin Guang came over, they set off together.

Along the way, bumping and bumping, between the butt constantly leaving the stool, the dark night slowly faded, and the sky brightened little by little.

In the early morning, there were already many scattered passersby on the streets of the city, some carrying baskets, some riding bicycles, all of whom were going to buy vegetables early in the morning.

Ye Yaodong first let Uncle Zhou send him to the wholesale market, and after asking his father-in-law for the train ticket, he drove to the train station.

No need to transfer cars back and forth, it would be more convenient and save waiting time.

The passenger flow at the train station was no less than that at the seafood wholesale market.

The streets were cold and clear everywhere, with few people, but these two places were full of people.

At the entrance of the train station not far away, there were all kinds of hawking sounds of food, and there were also many street stalls on the open space by the roadside. People were coming and going, and the passenger flow was not small. Most of them were carrying large and small bags, looking like they were traveling in a hurry.

Ye Yaodong looked at the time. It was just past seven o'clock, and there was still enough time.

He told Zhou Shu to just stop in an open space. As for the money, he would send it over after he got back. It was easy to lose it by digging around here, and besides, Aqing had forgotten to calculate the fare for him.

Now there were only one or two yuan of coins and small change in the pockets on both sides. If it's gone, it's gone, and he wouldn't feel distressed. Besides the integer in the crotch, the private money was put in the cloth bag and carried inside the clothes.

Cheating people, she fooled him, and he still had to subsidize a large sum of private money.

After going home, he would settle the account with her fiercely. This woman was a bit cunning.

He and Lin Guang tried their best to avoid the crowd and walk forward. One hand held the water bottle, and the other hand pinched the hem of the clothes while also pinching the cloth bag inside. They planned to go to the hawker selling food in front to see what food there was.

Buy some for breakfast and lunch, and eat it when they get on the train later.

Under the shade of trees on both sides of the road, there were also some people carrying large and small bags. Probably the departure time hadn't arrived yet, and they didn't want to enter the station to enjoy the crowding, so they stood under the shade of trees nearby to wait first.

Walking all the way, they also saw many large red and blue plastic bags. Damn familiarity, didn't expect that there were already such large plastic bags to pack luggage now.

"Tea eggs, tea eggs..."

"Selling steamed buns, fragrant meat buns, flower rolls, steamed buns..."

"Chicken cake soda..."

"Melon seeds... melon seeds... boiled peanuts... boiled peanuts..."

A pile of hawking sounds.

After they bought ten tea eggs, the food sellers nearby all surrounded them, asking if they wanted this or that? Extremely enthusiastic, almost scaring them.

He picked again, bought six meat buns, two bottles of soda, and a bag of peanuts, then pushed everything else away, and then pulled Lin Guang to stand in the empty corner to squat, secretly touching the bag made in his clothes and his crotch, and then felt relieved.

"Damn it, so many people are peeking at us! As soon as you take out money, they all surround you..." Lin Guang complained.

"Isn't it? In this kind of place where fish and dragons are mixed, you must keep vigilant at all times, otherwise you don't know when things are lost. You also have to pinch the money in your pocket from time to time to see if it's there?"

"No need to worry at all, I didn't bring money!"

Ye Yaodong: "???"

"Don't you have it? You bring it, anyway, I'm here to accompany you. Don't I have to eat yours, drink yours, live in yours, spend yours?"

Count you ruthless.

Ye Yaodong glanced at him sideways, divided the buns in his hand to him, and the two ate with water first.

From getting up early to now, he had only eaten two eggs brought by Lin Guang. Although he didn't want to eat, it was free, so he reluctantly ate two to pad his stomach.

Just while squatting and eating buns, the two of them already felt many eyes in the crowd aiming at them.

"Damn it, so many people are peeking at us!" Lin Guang was also very vigilant.

"Maybe we bought too much food. Eat quickly and go in. There's only half an hour left."

He looked at his watch, it was almost seven-thirty.

After eating in two or three bites, they walked to the entrance and glanced at the station. As a result, they saw people crowding people inside, noisy, feeling that there was almost no place to stand.

But there was no way, they still had to bite the bullet and squeeze in.

Didn't expect that there were so many people taking the train in this day and age.

Fearing the loss of money on his body, Ye Yaodong put the food he bought into the cloth bag in front of his chest. If he couldn't put it down, he let Lin Guang hold it in his hand. Anyway, his pockets were empty, and he was fearless.

Then he put one hand into his pants pocket, secretly covering his crotch. After all, the life root was close together.

The person squeezing in front of him was carrying a pile of luggage, and in the process of moving forward, he kept making clanging sounds, probably pots and pans, and was also carrying a bundle of quilts on his back.

This separated the distance between the two, saving his buns in front of his chest from being squeezed flat.

The noisy sounds in his ears and the crying of children never stopped. Either someone was stolen, or looking for luggage, or looking for people, looking for children, a mess.

It felt like squeezing into the Spring Festival travel rush, but there weren't so many people, and it wasn't so chaotic. Squeezing was also because everyone brought a large pile of luggage, large and small bags, looking like moving.

The weather in October was clearly cold, but in the process of queuing forward, he still squeezed out a lot of sweat. It wasn't until he walked onto the platform and stood in the open space that he breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's really hard to go out in this day and age, and the experience of taking the train is also terrible.

Before getting on the train, they also saw many passengers getting off the train walking through the tracks to the outside of the station. After getting on the train, let alone, three words summarized it: dirty, messy, poor.

The aisles were all kinds of garbage mixed with luggage. It was extremely difficult to find their own seats. The train had already started, and there was still a group of people in the aisle moving forward with difficulty.

Every step forward, they could hear a pile of complaints and scolding. It was really hard to describe in one word.

It was hard for the brothers to find their seats, but the seats were occupied by others. Fortunately, the big brother and the people next to him were quite reasonable. They explained, and took out the tickets to show them, and they returned the seats to him.

After sitting down with difficulty, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

"There are so many people, it's too crowded. I'm taking the train for the first time, and I finally experienced it."

"Actually, it's not that there are many people, people are okay, mainly because there is a lot of luggage. I haven't seen a few people like us taking the train empty-handed. Which one is not a large and small bag?"

"That's true."

Even the position by their feet was luggage. I don't know whose it was.

Fortunately, they didn't have luggage or other things. If they were like others, bringing pots and pans and quilts, plus wives and children, they would really have the heart to die. Taking care of the big, taking care of the small, still having to take care of luggage, and still having to squeeze with others.

Too hard.

If there is nothing important, it is better to go out less in this day and age. It is inconvenient everywhere. It is more comfortable to stay in your own one-third of an acre.

His hand had been in his pants pocket and never taken out. The foreign body sensation in his hand had always existed, and he felt heavy in front of his chest, and his heart was much more at ease.

"Sleep for a while. Do you want to eat something else?"

"Eat something, sleep a fart, so noisy."

Ye Yaodong ate something and tried to close his eyes, but after closing his eyes, he felt that the carriage was even noisier.

The noisy sound never stopped. Either scolding children or scolding each other because of a little friction. Every time it stopped at a station, it was even noisier, and he couldn't sleep at all.

He had to open his eyes and look out the window, occasionally eating something, automatically shielding all kinds of movements in the carriage.

After sitting in the car for a long time, the two had no desire to talk.

Just like this, from eight o'clock in the morning to the sun in the middle of the sky, and then to the sunset, they arrived at the station. Ye Yaodong slowly moved with numb legs and painful butt, following the crowd to get off the train.

After getting out of the station, he took a deep breath of fresh air. The turbid smell in the carriage almost blocked his nose.

"Finally comfortable."

"Yeah, finally comfortable. This train is not good to sit at all. My butt is sore, and I can't stand up and walk around. There is luggage everywhere in such a big carriage."

"Let's go, find a rickshaw and go directly to the hostel."

Still go to the hostel from last time. Once familiar, twice skilled. Solve the place to stay first. The sun has already set. Sleep at night, and go to pay the repair fee and drive the car early tomorrow morning.

He didn't feel at ease running to the factory to drive the motorcycle at this time. He was worried that such a cool car would be gone if he put it at the entrance of the city hostel for one night.

Don't underestimate the thieves of this era. Even if there is a strict crackdown, there are still people who commit crimes against the wind.

The bold are full, the timid are hungry.

After arriving at the hostel and opening a room, he called home to report safety for the first time. It is never wrong to call home to report safety when going out.

The purpose of this trip was also very clear. He had already visited the whole city by tractor last time and took many photos. This time he had no interest in visiting again. He just wanted to go over quickly today, go over early tomorrow morning to drive the car, and buy a tractor by the way.

So, the two didn't go anywhere. Moreover, the sun had set, and there was really nowhere to go. They casually ate a bowl of mixed noodles and fish balls on the roadside nearby, and planned to go back to the hostel to sleep.

But heaven has unexpected storms.

When he wanted to cross the road after paying the money, he heard talking behind him.

"Bad luck, actually squatted inside for half a month. Fortunately, the money was not all put in the pocket, otherwise it would have been collected. Wouldn't that oil fish be sold in vain?"

"I don't know which killer reported it. It was only sprayed for two or three days, and they went to report it. Isn't it good to eat? Damn, closed for half a month, delaying me from earning money."

"I am innocent. I clearly just helped you hawk, and didn't get a share of the money. Just because I rented with you, I was caught for half a month. You have to compensate me for half a month's loss..."

The brothers looked at each other, tacitly not looking back, calling out in their hearts that enemies are narrow, and the world is really small.

Actually met again as soon as they came over, and listening to their tone, several of them were just released from prison?

The two heard intermittent talking and were a little curious. Seeing them walk past from behind, they looked at each other, then tacitly lifted their chins forward, tacitly following, wanting to listen again.

"Forget it, how much money can shoe shining earn? Still have to carry a small stool and run around every day. These are women's work."

"Do you think I want to do this? Isn't this easy? Before selling tea eggs, I was beaten by a group of people, not allowed to grab business. Damn, why is it so hard to mix a meal. Before calling home, they told me that shoe shining can earn money, grass..."

"It's okay, brothers take you to get rich..."

Shoe shining can earn money...

Ye Yaodong stopped when he heard this. He was speechless.

Wasn't this what he chatted with Lin Ji casually, and then it spread throughout the village? Didn't expect that after so many turns, it could still pit Chen Wei...

Lin Guang saw him stop and didn't keep up, so he also stopped.

"No wonder going to shine shoes, it turns out the tea egg local snake doesn't allow selling. Who told him that shoe shining can earn money?"

"Family, care what he does."

"Isn't it just a coincidence? Curious, right? The provincial capital is really small."

Ye Yaodong shook his head, looked at the hostel opposite, and pulled him over first.

Still that sentence, hope he can find a way to get rich.

Bad luck, he won't be happy. Getting rich, it has nothing to do with him. Just now, it was purely curious about the content of their chat, so he followed for a few steps.

Wanting to get rich, just shoe shining is not enough. Of course, it also needs cost. The original start-up fund must be available first. Shoe shining can save some money, but he doesn't know what way to find to earn big money.

What he knows is hearsay. The history of various big guys in the previous life is also summarized in a few sentences on the Internet. If you want to think about it, you know it's not that easy. Time, place, and people are also conditions.

Hmm... it's still more reliable in his familiar field. Can't just believe the big cake on the Internet. After all, this is someone else's experience, not his own. How can it be so easy to replicate.

After they returned to the hostel slowly, they didn't go anywhere. They woke up at two o'clock in the night, and had already been tired to death by a whole day of tractor plus train. Now that they were full, they just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.

"Are you going to the tractor factory first or the motorcycle factory first tomorrow?"

"Go to the tractor factory first?"

Carrying a huge sum of money, no matter what, you have to spend it first. Only after spending it can you be at ease. The money spent is your own money. Anyway, the two factories are not particularly far apart.

After getting the tractor done, walk to the motorcycle factory. At that time, you can drive the motorcycle and go home directly with "hmm hmm~", which is also convenient, saving you from carrying a pocket of money and shaking everywhere.

The next morning, they slept until they woke up naturally before going to the tractor factory.

In fact, starting from two or three o'clock in the night, there were constant talking sounds in the corridor, coming and going, lasting until the morning. However, both of them could lie down quite well, and could barely sleep until the sun was high.

The gatekeeper of the tractor factory was still the uncle from last time, but people had long forgotten him.

Ye Yaodong handed over two cigarettes, explained the purpose, and showed the identity certificates of the two, and the certificate for the tractor used for the transport of local specialties helped by the village committee.

After looking at it, this uncle enthusiastically led him to find the person in charge.

As soon as they entered the factory, the two were attracted by the rows of tractors on the construction site.

It was really row after row, I don't know how many rows, full of them.

Ye Yaodong was full of joy. This shows that there is spot goods directly, and can be driven away directly.

"Uncle, are these tractor heads all produced? If you want to buy them, can you drive them away directly?"

"If you don't need to install a car bucket, that's possible."

"Oh, that must need a car bucket. How to load goods without a car bucket."

"Yes, so, these tractor heads are all ready-made. A batch of various horsepowers can be produced every day. It depends on the requirements. Some people want to install car buckets, some people just want to take them to plow the land, and there are also those who don't want car buckets. You can weld them yourself after driving back."

"How much does it cost to add a car bucket?"

"It depends on how much horsepower you want. You ask me this, and I don't count. You will know after you go in and ask later."

"Good, good..." **CHAPTER 961**
