Chapter 239 Zhang Shengjin wants to buy an old tractor
After Song Cenyue came back, although she didn't have to work in the fields, she was not idle, because everyone knew she was back and the villagers came to her every day to grind rice.
She had been back for four days and had already milled rice for thirteen villagers. But since it was not for free, she charged ten cents to each person. So Song Cenyue felt it was not bad because she earned one yuan and thirty cents.
Although she is not short of money and she is quite rich now, it would be a bastard not to make money.
So even though she earned little, only 1.3 yuan, she was still happy.
That afternoon, Song Cenyue was pounding rice for a villager again. Just after she finished pounding the rice and watched the villager leave, she saw Zhang Shengjin coming, and he looked like he had something to do.
"Uncle Captain, please come in and sit down. Is there anything you need?" Song Cenyue greeted him immediately.
"Yes. I came to see you because I have something to tell you." Zhang Shengjin nodded, followed Song Cenyue into the house and sat down, explaining his purpose: "It's like this, yesterday my two boys had business again, they went to a commune to repair a tractor yesterday, and learned that the richest production team under the commune was going to replace the tractor, and wanted to sell the old one and buy a new one, so they came back and told me, and I was tempted when I heard it, and wanted to buy the old one...
I had always wanted to buy a tractor for our production team, but I didn't have the money to buy a new one. However, I could afford an old one by scraping together some from here and there. That tractor only cost 500 yuan.
So as soon as I finished the work this morning, I asked my two sons to take me to see the commune secretary whose tractor they repaired yesterday, and asked him to help me contact the production team leader who wanted to sell the tractor. The other party was a good person and took me directly to see the production team leader. We met him smoothly and learned that the tractor was sold so cheaply because it was seriously broken and could not be repaired. This was also the reason why the production team wanted to sell it and buy a new one.
My two kids went with me at the time, so I asked them to fix it, but they were not able to do it. Seeing that they could not fix it, I did not dare to buy it. It would be a shame if I could not use it after it could not be repaired. I could not do such a stupid thing as spending 500 yuan to buy scrap metal. "
At this point, he paused and swallowed. He had said too much in one breath, which made his mouth a little dry, so he had to swallow some saliva to moisten his throat.
His throat was no longer so dry, and he continued, "But after I came back, I still couldn't let go of that tractor. I missed it so much. I've always wanted to buy a tractor, but I couldn't afford a new one because it was too expensive. It was rare to find such a cheap tractor for sale. If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no such store. I'll never find such a cheap tractor again..."
So I thought of asking you to repair the tractor. What if you can fix it? If you can fix it, I can buy this tractor... Although my two sons can't fix it, you are their master and your repair skills are much better than theirs."
"No problem. I can go with you to repair that tractor right now." After Song Cenyue knew Zhang Shengjin's purpose, she agreed without thinking.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Zhang Shengjin knew that she would not refuse, but when he heard that she agreed immediately and said that she could go with him to repair the tractor right now, he was still very happy and hurried to thank her.
"No need to thank each other, uncle. Let's go!" Song Cenyue shook his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's leave now."
After locking the door, Song Cenyue drove away from the village with Zhang Shengjin. On the way, Song Cenyue asked the production team that sold the tractors what it was called and where it was. She learned that it was called Dayin Production Team, and was 120 miles away.
"I didn't expect there was someone named Dayin in the production team!" Song Cenyue said with a smile, thinking that the name was a bit interesting.
"This production team was originally called Dayin Village. After the village became a production team, it naturally became called Dayin Production Team." After Zhang Shengjin finished speaking, he showed Song Cenyue the way and told her how to get there.
On the way to Dayin Production Team, Zhang Shengjin introduced to Song Cenyue the specific details of the tractor that Dayin Production Team wanted to buy.
"I heard from the team leader of the Dayin Production Team that this tractor was bought nearly seven years ago, which is quite old, but it has always been very durable. However, half a month ago, the driver of the tractor had a problem. The brakes of the tractor suddenly failed and the tractor crashed into a tree. He asked someone to repair it, but they said it couldn't be fixed. So he thought about buying a new one, since his production team has the money to buy a new one anyway."
"If it crashes into a tree and can't be repaired, that means the crash is serious and the car is badly damaged." Song Cenyue said. "By the way, the brake failure caused the tractor to crash into the tree and damage the tractor. This is not the fault of the tractor driver. The tractor driver was not held responsible. Should he be compensated?"
If there is, the tractor driver is so unlucky and pitiful.
"How can we let the tractor driver pay for it!" Zhang Shengjin smiled.
"What do you mean? Is there any relationship between the team leader of Dayin Production Team and the tractor driver?" Song Cenyue guessed with a hint of curiosity.
"You guessed it right. The tractor driver was his son. How could he ask his son to pay for it? Besides, the collision with the tree was caused by brake failure, so it cannot be blamed on his son." Zhang Shengjin nodded.
"So he is the captain's son! We definitely can't ask his son to pay for it. If we ask his son to pay for it, wouldn't that mean he has to pay for it himself?" Song Cenyue said with a smile as a glimmer of realization flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly Song Cenyue remembered something and said, "If I can repair this tractor and buy it back, I can let Brother Zhang and Xiaobo be the tractor drivers. I have already taught them how to drive a tractor."
"That's what I thought. Since they brothers can all drive a tractor, they don't have to ask you to teach them. Otherwise, no one will know how to drive a tractor, and you will have to work hard to ask them to teach." Zhang Shengjin nodded and smiled.
Even if his two sons did not know how to drive a tractor, after buying one, he would let his two sons learn to drive a tractor and give the tractor to his two sons.
Tractors are expensive things, and he doesn't feel safe letting outsiders drive them.
There is also an old saying that goes "good things should be kept within the family." He is not a saint and he also has selfish motives. When something good happens, he will definitely think of his son first.
Song Cenyue and Zhang Shengjin chatted while driving and found that one hundred and twenty miles was not particularly far, but because the road was difficult to drive on, the car could not go fast.
Song Cenyue drove for an hour and a half before arriving at the Dayin Production Team.
Song Cenyue followed Zhang Shengjin and drove to the production team office of Dayin Production Team. Zhang Shengjin said that he didn't know where the leader of Dayin Production Team was, so he went to the office first. He hoped that the person was in the office, otherwise he would have to ask the villagers.
Fortunately, they were lucky. The door of the Dayin Production Team's office was open. Just as they were about to get off the car, they saw two middle-aged men coming out of the office.
"Captain, it's really a car! And it's a military vehicle!" The man who first came out of the office shouted to the man behind him, looking very excited. "I didn't expect there would be a car, or a military vehicle, coming to our place."
"I don't know who drove this car?" Liao Youhua, the team leader of Dayin Production Team, also looked excited. He stared at the military jeep in front of him and wondered in his mind who was driving the car. When he saw Song Cenyue and Zhang Shengjin getting out of the car, he was shocked.
"Old Zhang, why is it you here!" Although Liao Youhua didn't know Song Cenyue, he had just met Zhang Shengjin in the morning, so he naturally remembered him.
