Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 576
Chapter 576
Seeing that the cotton harvest season is about to come again.
Production and Construction Corps, a garage of an armored regiment, several soldiers are wiping the tanks.
The sound of footsteps came from a distance, and the squad leader Niu walked over like a meteor.
“Squad leader, are you back from the meeting?”
“Squad leader, what are the latest instructions in the company?” Everyone stopped their work.
Squad leader Niu yelled out loudly; “Stop what we are doing, let’s have a short meeting first.”
Everyone immediately gathered in front of monitor Liu and stood in line consciously.
“Take a rest.” Squad leader Niu cleared his throat and said: “I went to a meeting in Lianli just now. This meeting is mainly to arrange the task of picking cotton this year.
The cotton ripening season is about to come. As in previous years, our group will still go to the farm to help pick the cotton. It is estimated that we will still go to the Jinlinzi Farm.
It’s been one or two months before. This time I went to pick cotton. It is estimated that I would have to work for two consecutive months. There would be no rest time in between. By that time, I would eat and live on the farm.
So the League Department decided that all comrades who participated in the cotton picking activities will have one day off tomorrow. It will also give you time to prepare for your outfits. Let’s set off the day after tomorrow! ”
“Report!” a young soldier said suddenly.
“What’s the matter?” Squad leader Niu asked.
“Squad leader, aren’t we driving tanks, why do we still pick cotton?” the young soldier asked.
Squad leader Niu followed the voice and saw that the soldier who spoke was surnamed Zheng, a soldier who had just been assigned this year, from the south of his home.
So Squad Leader Niu explained: “We are the production and construction corps, not only to undertake national defense tasks to defend the country, but also to participate in some production and construction activities.
Cotton picking is a kind of production activity. Cotton is the main economic crop grown here. When cotton is harvested, it must be picked quickly. If it is past the season, the quality of the cotton will decline.
In the farm of our corps, there are usually enough people, but when it comes to picking cotton, the manpower is insufficient, so we need our support to help them complete the cotton picking work as soon as possible. ”
“Report to the squad leader, I don’t know how to pick cotton!” The soldier surnamed Zheng Qing continued.
“I forgot this crop. You are from the south, do you not grow cotton there?” Squad leader Niu asked.
The soldier replied: “Report to the squad leader that all the cotton in our place grows on trees.”
“You have kapok, which is different from our Northwestern cotton, but don’t worry, I have picked cotton for several years, and I will teach you hand-in-hand by then. Xiao Zheng, do you have any other questions?” Then ask.
“Report to the monitor that I have never picked cotton. What should I bring when I go to pick cotton? Do I need to bring bedding?” Xiao Zheng then asked
“What kind of quilt? Where is the cotton-producing area, can you still lack your quilt? Just bring the basic daily necessities like toothpaste and toothbrush. Also bring some old clothes. This time we are going to work on the farm and wear new clothes. Spoiled.”
Squad leader Niu paused, and then said: “The material conditions of life on the farm are much better than ours here. They not only grow cotton, but also a variety of fruits and vegetables.
There are also chickens, sheep, and cattle. Every time we go to help the farm pick cotton, the farm will kill the chickens and sheep as a treat, and every meal will be delicious. Some farms have dairy cows, and they can drink fresh milk every day after they go!
The Jinlinzi farm that we went to in previous years, there was an uncle Nigomati, and the lamb roast was very delicious. Every time we go, Uncle Nigomati will roast the lamb for us by himself.
At that time, let the farm kill two sheep, cut the mutton into large pieces, wear it with red willow, and use a pouch when it is cooked. It is simply delicious on earth! What I said was drooling…”
…
Two days later, the soldiers boarded a large military truck early in the morning, ready to go to the farm.
“This road is not close. It is estimated that you will have to wait until dark to arrive.” Squad leader Niu said, looking at the young soldier Xiao Zheng, and then said: “Xiao Zheng, you are a southerner and you have never picked cotton. I will teach you now. How to pick cotton.
First of all, you must remember that you must wear gloves when picking cotton, but you cannot pick it with bare hands. Although the cotton is soft, the outer shell is still quite hard. Without the protection of gloves, it is easy to hurt your hands.
When you pick the cotton, they will give you gloves. Don’t be reluctant to use them. You have enough care. Protecting your hands is the most important thing. Come back and count on you to open the tank with both hands!
At that time, one person will hand out a snakeskin sack, carry it with him, and after picking the cotton, throw it directly into the snakeskin sack. If the snakeskin sack is full, replace it with a new one.
Next, let’s talk about the technique of picking cotton. When picking cotton, grab the whole boll and pull it down directly. This process must be fast enough to increase the efficiency of picking cotton…”
Squad leader Niu said while demonstrating movements with his hands.
Next to him, Squad Leader Wang of another class said, “Old Niu, don’t make any gestures. There is a saying that good memory is not as good as bad writing. If you say it here dozens of times, it is not as good as going to the farm and picking a few bags on the spot. Cotton. You let Xiao Zheng stay in the cotton field. Within three days, he will be an expert in picking cotton.”
“I’m going to class with soldiers in our class, don’t worry about it!” Squad leader Niu snorted coldly.
“Just your two brushes, give them back to others for class, don’t be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue!” Squad leader Wang said with a smile.
The two men were comrades-in-arms who joined the army in the same year. They are familiar with each other. Now sitting in a car, they naturally have to quarrel, exposing each other’s bottom lines.
There are two monitors quarreling, and it’s not lonely to come down this road.
“I said Lao Niu, this route seems to be wrong, I used to go to Jinlinzi Farm, not this way.” Squad leader Wang said and looked out the window.
The squad leader Niu immediately put his head out of the car and looked around.
As a tank soldier, squad leader Niu is very sensitive to roads and directions. In that era when there was no navigation, it was necessary to use a map to identify the position and the road.
Senior tank soldiers like squad leader Niu can basically print the road conditions in their minds just by looking at the map. And as long as the road he has traveled before, squad leader Niu will not be so easy to forget.
The cattle squad leader has been to Jinlinzi Farm several times, and the road leading to Jinlinzi Farm, the squad leader Niu has already remembered in his mind. At this time, he discovered that this road did not lead to Jinlinzi Farm, and even the direction was wrong.
“This is really not the way to Jinlinzi Farm, don’t you go to Jinlinzi Farm this year?” Niu squad leader muttered to himself.
Squad leader Wang said; “Looking at this route, it seems that I really don’t go to Jinlinzi Farm this year! It’s a pity that I won’t be able to eat the lamb roasted by Uncle Nigomati this year.”
The young soldier Xiao Zheng beside suddenly became nervous, and he asked; “Squad leader, it’s not going to Jinlinzi Farm, then where are we going?”
Squad leader Niu said with a smile: “Don’t worry, if you follow the big army, you can still be sold out!”
…
In the evening, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
said it was the evening, but it was actually more than ten o’clock in the evening, but in the northwest, this suit was just getting dark.
“Welcome, welcome!” The head of the farm had been waiting for a long time. He greeted him warmly and said, “Supper is ready, and I asked the kitchen to specially prepare thin-skin buns with fried rice and lamb.
In addition, I also informed the boiler room that hot water was specially used, so that the soldiers could take a bath after eating. Although the dormitory is a big shop, the bedding is new. Instructor Chen, don’t think our conditions are simple! ”
Instructor Chen, who led the team, said; “You have meat for meals, new bedding for sleep, and hot baths. What’s so crude? I used to go to other farms, but you don’t have such good conditions here!”
The field commander said, “The commander specifically explained to me that this time they are all tank soldiers. They are precious talents in our army. Let me take care of them!
We are a farm, the most important thing is food, so let’s not say anything else, this meal, as well as various seasonal fruits, is definitely indispensable. ”
Instructor Chen was taken aback. When he led the team to Jinlinzi Farm before, he was also the same group of tank soldiers, but he never heard of special care.
So instructor Chen said: “Director, you don’t need to eat big fish every day, we just eat the same as usual, no special treatment.”
“That won’t work!” The field commander shook his head: “You are tank soldiers, you are in a technical position, unlike the others.”
Instructor Chen was taken aback for a moment, and he secretly said that although driving a tank is a technical job, but collecting cotton does not need to drive a tank to collect it. What kind of technical position is it?
But since the farm is willing to give better treatment, Instructor Chen will not refuse, but gladly accept it.
…
Everyone eats, bathes, and sleeps. Early the next morning, they gather after breakfast and prepare to pick cotton.
“I came late yesterday. It will be dark after people arrive. I didn’t take a closer look. Now it seems that this farm is really big enough!” Xiao Zheng looked around curiously.
The squad leader Niu said, “Xiao Zheng, take a good look and study hard. After receiving the gloves and snakeskin sacks for a while, follow me to see how I pick the cotton!”
“I see, monitor, I will definitely study with you.” Xiao Zheng said.
“Stop for a while, stand at attention, turn right, and walk together!” Under the command of Instructor Chen, everyone set out in the direction of the cotton field.
Soon, an endless cotton field appeared in front of everyone, and there were ten cotton harvesters lined up.
Beside the cotton harvester, there were a few men in blue overalls standing with the words “Fukang Agricultural Machinery” printed on their chests.
Only listen to the manager’s introduction: “These are the cotton harvesters. The 100,000 mu of cotton we planted this year will definitely not be able to be harvested by manpower. I count on these newly purchased cotton harvesters!
Next to is a technician from the manufacturer who is responsible for the follow-up maintenance and maintenance of the cotton harvester, and will also teach you how to open the cotton harvester.
These harvesters were bought by our corps at a high price. I heard that one will cost one million! This is the treasure of our farm, and I am afraid that it will be broken by ordinary people, and I will not be able to afford it.
So I specifically applied to the chief to transfer tank soldiers to drive this cotton harvester. Instructor Chen, you can even drive around in a tank. You can drive this cotton harvester and you will surely learn it right away! ”
Instructor Chen finally understood that the farm manager had been emphasizing technical skills before, and that was the reason.
In the team, squad leader Niu and squad leader Wang glanced at each other, and they did not expect that this time they would drive the cotton harvester to harvest the cotton.
“Lao Niu, I thought I was going to go down to the fields with snakeskin sacks like before. I didn’t expect that this time I was driving a machine to harvest cotton. Sitting in a car is much easier than picking cotton with my hands.” Squad leader Wang said. .
“Not necessarily. Is it easy to open a tank? I think it’s more tiring than picking cotton. You don’t need to use your brain to pick cotton, and you just need to use your strength. There are various tactics to open a tank, which is more troublesome than picking cotton.” Said.
“You can drive tanks, but are you afraid that you can’t drive the cotton harvester?” The squad leader smiled slightly, and then said; “Look, the instructor told us to go over. The first squad, all come to visit this cotton harvester.”
“Second class, let’s get familiar with it in the past.” Squad leader Niu also said.
Everyone immediately stepped forward, but Xiao Zheng was still there and looked around.
“Xiao Zheng, what are you stunned?” Squad leader Ni frowned, saying that this recruit is really dull.
Xiao Zheng asked stupidly: “Squad leader? Where are the gloves and snakeskin sacks?”
“Gloves and snakeskin sacks!” Squad leader Niu sighed helplessly, and then said; “Follow me, look and learn!”
…
Squad leader Niu sat in the cab of the cotton harvester, holding the steering wheel nervously.
The technician of Fukang Agricultural Machinery stood on the pedal outside the cab and said, “This comrade, don’t be nervous, look ahead, send off the harvesting platform, and use one gear to harvest…not that gear, but the next…first gear. Just break it, you don’t have to break it to the end…”
The squad leader Niu was hurriedly directed by the technician, and then all kinds of mistakes were made during the busy schedule.
In the tank regiment, the squad leader Niu is an absolute technical vanguard. The commander, the gunner and the driving are all good at it, and he can be described as an elite talent in the combination of vehicle, artillery, and driving.
However, I don’t know what’s going on. The squad leader who sits in the cotton harvester is at a loss. The entire cotton harvester has five control levers, which is much simpler than a tank, but the squad leader is always confused.
It seems that the cow squad leader is really only suitable for driving complex tanks, but simple cotton harvesters cannot be driven.
The technician has been teaching for a long time, but the squad leader Niu still makes a mistake, and the technician has no choice. Both were anxious and sweated profusely.
At this time, someone outside shouted: “Lao Liu, there seems to be something wrong with the transmission of this cotton harvester, like something stuck, come and have a look.”
“I’ll go right there!” The technician responded, and then said to squad leader Niu: “This comrade, I have to take a look at the machine, or do you practice it yourself?”
Having said that, the technician shook his head self-consciously: “Forget it, you are not proficient in the operation, let you practice by yourself, but don’t have any accidents! I’ll find someone to come over and practice with you. I can rest assured.”
I saw the technician jump off the harvester and shouted at Xiao Zheng not far away: “That young comrade, yes, it’s you, come here!”
Xiao Zheng walked over immediately.
The technician said to Xiao Zheng: “Comrade, I remember that you are already very proficient in operation, so let’s come up for a while, and by the way, I also show this comrade how to operate the cotton harvester correctly.”
The technician looked at the squad leader Niu again: “This comrade, you have to follow this little comrade, look and learn! Try to learn to drive the cotton harvester as soon as possible!”
The technician finished speaking, then turned and left.
Xiao Zheng smirked and looked at his monitor.
“Squad leader, look good, study hard!”
