In the evening, Li Cunshan ca over. "Yun Gui, let’s keep the tractor at ho for now; otherwise, if it rains, we won’t be able to plow or sow seeds."
"Brother Cunshan, I’ve already promised Wang Shulin." Li Yungui felt quite troubled.
"Yun Gui, how about we take a tractor with a reaper, and when the ti cos, we can install the reaper on their tractor, wouldn’t that work?
It’s not that we don’t want to help; it’s really urgent for us here too. It’s because it’s Wang Shulin—if it were soone else, I definitely wouldn’t agree to let the tractor go out to work; our own tasks aren’t finished yet."
Li Yungui couldn’t do anything but nod. "Chaoyang, tomorrow take the bicycle and go over there with those three, and explain the situation to your Uncle Wang."
"Got it, everyone will understand."
"Once Xiao Wei returns, go pick up two more tractors," Li Yungui said resolutely.
Li Cunshan was very much in favor of picking up two more tractors. He really wanted that.
In the evening, Li Yungui and his wife lay on the kang and talked.
"Actually, I don’t want to let even one tractor out, but it’s unavoidable. Brother Cunshan is right; it’s only because of Wang Shulin—if it were soone else, I wouldn’t agree."
"Alright, tomorrow we’ll start plowing. Actually, my plan is to have two tractors go together tomorrow, help Wang Shulin for a day, then have one co back the next morning, and the other the following day. That way, we have ti to spread the fertilizer."
"True, tomorrow we’ll send out two tractors. But still, Chaoyang District needs to be visited, and I need to stay ho to watch over the fertilizer spreading."
At three in the morning, Li Yungui got up. Yesterday, it was decided to set out at three thirty, but these young n have indeed been quite exhausted this year, so he let them sleep at ho for a while last night.
Li Yungui arrived at Li Cunshan’s house. "Brother Cunshan, it’s useless to keep the tractor today. Let’s have everyone go; today we’ll all spread fertilizer, and tomorrow morning, one cos back, and the day after you stay ho to continue spreading fertilizer. The day after that, let the other tractor co back too. This way, we don’t waste ti."
"Alright, let’s do that. Make sure Chaoyang explains things to Wang Shulin."
"Uh-huh, I’ll get them to set off now."
Li Yungui gave a few more instructions to them before watching them leave.
The temperature was perfect for cooling off. Chaoyang and the others arrived at Jin Family Village.
The two tractors stopped directly in front of Wang Shulin’s house. Wang Shulin had already gotten up and heard the noise outside, so he imdiately opened the door to see Chaoyang unloading the bicycle.
"Uncle Wang, I’ve co to talk to you. Today both tractors are here; tomorrow evening this one will go back to plow, and the day after tomorrow morning the other one will return.
Uncle Wang, the village is spreading fertilizer today, and tomorrow evening we’ll start plowing as soon as we get ho."
Wang Shulin understood; it’s a critical ti for harvest and planting, and Li Yungui sending the tractors over was indeed very generous.
"Alright, I understand; one tractor will return tomorrow evening."
"Uncle Wang, my dad asked to bring the reaper. Let’s install it on your tractor now; it’ll speed things up."
Wang Shulin certainly agreed. After Chaoyang explained everything, he quickly returned. As a labor force, he still needed to go back quickly to work.
All day today, every available labor force was mobilized, with the village’s three ox carts and three donkey carts all in action.
Those loading the carts piled the fertilizer in heaps in the fields, then arranged people to spread it.
Li Yungui had already instructed that today’s lunch would be delivered from ho since there wouldn’t be any break in the coming days.
Everyone understood the urgency, so no one complained.
Tomorrow’s work would be even less, as at least fifteen people would need to co out to pay the public grain. It was incredibly challenging as everything was piling up at once.
What’s more, with a truck, you can’t take everything at once; it requires two trips.
Li Yungui worried so much that he had blistered lips.
It was a fortunate coincidence. Today, Yang Zhongyi couldn’t hold back any longer and ca to the village. Even more coincidentally, he ran into Li Yungui.
"Mr. Yang, what brings you here today?"
"I’m visiting Brother Wei’s house."
"Xiao Wei isn’t ho; he’s gone to the provincial capital."
"Village Chief Li, you seem to be in a hurry for sothing; why jogging along the road?"
"I’m anxious! We’re spreading fertilizer now, and tomorrow we need to pay the public grain. On top of that, we need to rush for plowing and planting; I even lent out the tractor. It’s so difficult!"
"I’ll bring so people to help." After eating their pork, it actually seed quite appropriate.
"How could I accept this?"
"No worries. Recently Brother Wei and Brother Yang brought over a wild boar, so this is just right."
In the end, Li Yungui thanked him profusely, and Yang Zhongyi even offered to bring a truck over tomorrow, with his team to help pay the grain.
Yang Zhongyi realized all the villagers were working in the fields, knowing he wouldn’t see his beloved girl today. So, he imdiately turned back.
All the way, he thought twenty people would be enough.
This made Li Yungui very happy; with the army behind him, he definitely wouldn’t be troubled.
But this favor was a big one, and he would have to think of ways to repay it in the future.
He shared the good news with Li Cunshan, and both were overjoyed.
"Yun Gui, you and Yun Qiang should both go, I’ll stay ho to watch over things."
Li Yungui shook his head, "Better let Xiao Jiang co with , leave Yun Qiang here, otherwise you won’t manage everything alone."
"Alright then, Xiao Jiang is capable."
By the ti it got to midnight, only thirty acres had received fertilizer.
However, tomorrow they could manage to fertilize another twenty-five acres.
This way, they could plow the fields by tomorrow night, and start sowing the day after. Hopefully, the heavens open up with rain after all the wheat sprouts are sown.
Jiang Xinyu knew she had to go pay the public grain tomorrow; she wasn’t bothered by it, work was needed wherever she went.
But Yang Zhongyi’s timing was indeed fortunate.
The transport company’s truck arrived at six in the morning.
Li Yungui arranged for a few people to wait at ho.
They needed to weigh the loads, it’s essential to keep track of things.
By half-past six, Yang Zhongyi brought twenty people over.
This ti, Li Yungui let the villagers focus on the fieldwork.
By half-past nine, the two trucks set off together.
Upon arriving at the township, the grain warehouse staff were quite surprised but promptly arranged to work.
The warehouse’s Station Chief Liu saw that Li Yungui had brought people from that side, feeling a bit intimidated. So when inspecting the moisture content of the wheat, he didn’t nitpick. He simply awarded it first-class.
"Village Chief Li, I will conduct random inspections."
Li Yungui smiled and nodded, "I understand, that’s Station Chief Liu’s duty. Besides, I’m confident there won’t be any issues."
"Haha, Village Chief Li, that puts my mind at ease. Now I can do my job well."
