Chapter 20 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (20)

After a few seconds of silence, the villagers started talking:

“Which girl is this from? She’s so capable!”

“I take back what I just said, she is not here to cause trouble, she is really here to help us steal seeds.”

“Yes, according to this progress, my family will be able to fertilize the fields tomorrow.”

“My family will be able to put water in and plant rice in two days.”

 Several other tractor veterans: “…”

Hey Hey hey! Don't include our progress! We can't plow that fast!

 After the old master asked Xu Yin’s opinion, he cheerfully said to them:

"How about you discuss it with her and let her do the plowing. She doesn't need any money or votes. Just give her the quota of two kilograms of pork. After that, you can lend her the tractor for two days."

 The veteran tractor owner thought about it and felt that this business could be done.

According to Xu Yin's speed, it would not take the ten days originally planned. It could be completed in three or four days.

I lent her the tractor for two days, not to mention being able to go back two or three days earlier, and my income was not reduced... No! If you go back early, you may be able to earn extra money, and your income may increase!

 The price is just two pounds of pork quota, where can you find such a good thing?

"make a deal!"

 …

 In the dog days of summer, the cicadas are chirping, the sun is shining brightly, and the ground is as hot as a steamer.

Xu’s mother packed up and went to the fields to deliver water. On the way, she met a village woman who was also delivering water to her family.

"Aunt Jinhua, your family is on summer vacation, right? Why haven't you seen her?"

The person asking the question was Li Laogen's daughter-in-law. She and Li Qiaohong were neighbors. When chatting with each other, Li Qiaohong often talked about the little girl of Lao Xu's family. She was a eldest girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She was never considerate of her family and did not help the family with farm work. Work.

How could Mother Xu not hear the sarcasm in her words? She threw the basket and said, "It's none of your business whether our family has summer vacation or not. You'll have to eat enough!"

 “You!” The little wife’s cheeks turned red with anger.

“Okay, maybe I’m going to take the college entrance examination next year, so I’m hiding in my room to review!”

 The village woman on the side saw this and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Aunt Jinhua, how is your rice harvest going? My dad has been very worried these past two days. It was sunny a while ago, and it has been a bit windy these past few days. It might rain, and the millet hasn't dried yet. The ground hasn't been plowed yet. What if it rains?"

 “No!” Speaking of this, Xu’s mother couldn’t help but worry.

"My rice harvest is almost done, and we can finish it today. I don't know what day it will take to plow the fields. There are only a few oxen in the team. I'm afraid it will take three to five days for our family to finish plowing." We still need to fertilize the fields and release water. I don’t know if it will be too late. I hope God will bless me and the rain will not fall until the water is released..."

As he was talking, the sound of a tractor's motor came from the entrance to the village.

 Everyone turned around and looked.

“Is it the tractor from the brigade? Come to help us plow the fields?”

“No, I heard from my family that the tractors of the brigade recently went to the county to transport bricks to earn extra money and they haven’t returned yet.”

　　“Then this is…”

　　While talking, the tractor drove closer.

Xu Yin stuck her head out and waved to Xu's mother: "Mom, can I do it? I borrowed a tractor for our family. After harvesting the rice, we can plow the land immediately."

　　　…”

Xu’s mother was a little confused: “Did you borrow it?”

"No!" Xu Yin said with a stern expression, "I helped the master of the farm plow the land for three days. In return, they promised to lend me two days of work for free, but our family has to pay for the diesel fuel ourselves, mom. Don't think I'm a prodigal." "No, no, no!" Xu's mother was too happy. With the help of her daughter, she climbed into the passenger seat of the tractor, and her daughter drove towards her fields.

Xu Yin also gave Xu’s mother the coupons for meat purchases within the farm that the masters had given her, which could buy eight kilograms of meat.

Xu’s mother’s eyebrows were so happy that she said, “My daughter is very capable!”

Then she didn't know what she thought of, she turned around and glared at Li Laogen's daughter-in-law, who was still standing there in a daze, and shouted loudly:

“Aren’t some people curious about what my daughter is doing during the holidays? Do you know now? Humph!”

Li Laogen’s daughter-in-law was annoyed and ashamed, and stamped her feet: “What are you showing off by being stinky!”

The village women nearby had no time to pay attention to her, thinking about what Xu Yin had just said: The farm's tractor would be borrowed from her house for two days. The little land in Lao Xu's house is not worth two days, if...

They looked at each other and hurried to the field.

 “Hey, you guys...”

Li Laogen's daughter-in-law was so angry that she kicked the stones when she saw them walking away without looking back.

 The field of Old Xu's house was crowded with people, all coming to see the tractor.

“Old Xu, your daughter is like this!”

 The old man in the field next door gave Mr. Xu a thumbs up.

Daddy Xu was so happy that he almost lost his way. He rubbed his hands and laughed: "She made it on her own."

There were also people gathered around Xu’s mother to inquire about the origin of the tractor. When they heard that it was lent to them by the farm, they became excited:

“Jinhua, it only takes half a day to plow your land. Can you lend it to my family later?”

 “Use it? Does your family know how to use this thing?”

Xu’s mother immediately got to the point.

 “Is this...or is Yin Yin coming? Do we have to pay for it or provide food for it?”

The work of plowing is really tiring, and the tractor plows deeply, and the soil turned up is darker and more fertile. Therefore, most people would rather pay some money or food to hire a tractor to plow.

Had it not been for the fact that the brigade only had a tractor and went out to earn extra money, they would have queued up long ago.

 “Okay, I’ll talk to Yinyin.”

Xu’s mother reluctantly agreed.

 In fact, this is exactly what Xu Yin proposed.

 She helped the farm master plow the land for three days. Not only did she unlock the [intermediate driving skill] and earn a bunch of energy points, but she also received a "little potato" civilian car that was popular in the early 1980s as a reward.

 It's a pity that it burns gasoline.

But then she thought that after unlocking the riding skill, she was rewarded with an electric bicycle that converts solar energy into electricity; no matter how hard she worked, she could still drive an electric car even if her driving skills were not perfect.

Thinking about this, Xu Yin felt so hot that she wanted to plow the entire village's fields.

 The next morning, she spent two hours plowing her own field, rode a small electric donkey to the farm, and came back with three kilograms of meat.

Xu's mother was in a good mood, so she cooked everything, including two pounds of braised pork and one pound of steamed pork with pickles and vegetables. She asked the relatives who had helped in the previous two days to make a hearty meal, and also gave the family a large watermelon.

 After that, Xu Yin started plowing the land for the villagers.

Xu’s mother repeatedly told her not to be too tired:

"Not to mention your speed is much faster than that of an ox. Even if a large team of tractors come with skilled hands, they can't plow you. Just rest when you get tired in the middle. We're not fighting for anything, so we don't have to work so hard."

 “Don’t worry, Mom, I’ve got it figured out.”

Having said that, she still worked hard for "S" and even broke several records. Her energy points were doubled many times. She was so happy that she almost jumped on the tractor head to dance.
