Chapter 9 Experiment
Yang Zhenyu has been assembling machines for two consecutive days. The combine harvester has been assembled and the rotary tiller has also been assembled.

Because it is already winter, there is no place to test the combine harvester at this time.

There are no wheat fields to harvest in the north, so you can just find a piece of land in the suburbs to test the rotary tiller.

"Director, I'm afraid this harvester needs to be handed over to the superiors for testing. There should be places in the south where harvesters can be used. We can drive this rotary tiller to the suburbs and find a piece of open space to test it." Yang Zhenyu said, patting the rotary tiller.

"Okay, I'll find a tractor, load it onto the tractor and we'll be off."

Director Yang is also an impatient person. When he says he needs a tractor, he goes to find one immediately.

After a while, a tractor was driven into the workshop.

Yang Zhenyu asked the people from Section 3 to load the machine onto the tractor.

"I remember that the closest village to us is Majia Village. They should have some private plots there but they don't grow winter wheat. They will plan to grow vegetables after the spring. Let's go over there and give it a try."

Director Yang was very excited when he saw the rotary tiller, as this thing was not available in China.

In more than an hour, Director Yang and his men arrived at Majia Village.

"No, don't hit it. This thing is approved by the higher-ups. We tried it twice in the factory, but the place is too small and we can't see the effect. We can only see the effect in the fields." Director Yang said, raising his hands to protect his head.

"Isn't this the first rotary tiller in our country? I haven't tried it yet. I thought you have a private plot for growing vegetables, which is empty right now, so I came here to try the machine. If it works, it will be a great contribution to our country. It will save us trouble to grow crops later."

The tractor made an amazing sound, and the rotary tiller dug deep into the ground.

"Is there such a thing? Why don't I believe it?" The old squad leader looked at the rotary tiller and still didn't quite trust it.

"Okay, let's try the machine quickly." Director Yang said with a dark face.

Yang Zhenyu didn't waste any time. He jumped on the tractor and drove towards a piece of land. It was a wasteland where he would grow vegetables next year.

"Why are you here again, you bastard? What is that big thing you brought with you?" Director Yang's old squad leader looked at Director Yang speechlessly. It was obvious that Director Yang came here often.

"Old squad leader, I'm here to see you." Director Yang went to the village and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not know he was here.

"Suddenly..."

"You should have said it earlier." The old squad leader said as he put away his crutches.

"okay."

"Hey, this is a good thing. Have you heard of a rotary tiller? It is used to plow the land, and one of them is faster than all the tillers in your village." Director Yang said proudly.

"Try it?" The old squad leader looked at Director Yang with distrust.

If the experiment is successful and the superiors give approval, then not only can we get production targets, but we can also contribute to the country and earn foreign currency by exporting.

"So you guys aren't even sure of what you're doing, yet you bring it here to ruin my acres of land, right?" The old squad leader picked up his wooden cane and hit him.

This scene had already been seen by Yang Zhenyu and others, and several of them were trying hard to hold back their laughter.

"You didn't ask either." Director Yang muttered.

In a short while, Yang Zhenyu had plowed out more than an acre of land, and then he stopped the machine.

"The depth is 25 centimeters, which fully meets the farming requirements. Chief, we succeeded." Chen Zhiming jumped up excitedly after measuring the farming depth.

In their opinion, this rotary tiller is also a great invention, and it is a great honor for them to assemble this great invention by themselves. "The soil is not completely crushed. It needs to be crushed again. I will try again." Yang Zhenyu said after checking the soil.

The soil obtained from the second plowing is much finer and can be directly used for cultivation.

"Good, great, you did a great job." After carefully inspecting the soil, Director Yang was very excited.

"Old squad leader, we're leaving first. This thing must be handed in immediately. There can't be any delay." Director Yang said to the old squad leader.

"Don't be in a hurry. Now that we are here, we must plow these fields before leaving." The old squad leader said, pulling Director Yang.

"Chief Yang, look..." Director Yang looked at Yang Zhenyu.

"Okay, let's give it a try and see the effect." Yang Zhenyu hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

After driving the tractor to plow the entire private plot of Majia Village, the old squad leader let Yang Zhenyu and the others leave with satisfaction.

After returning to the factory, Director Yang left on his own as he needed to report the news to the higher authorities.

We still have to wait for our superiors to come and inspect, and there are also harvesters, all of which need to be reported and processed.

Yang Zhenyu didn't care about these things. He would leave work at the end of the day. As for the other things, they had little to do with him.

"Old Yi, you're so old, but you're lucky enough to have such a good nephew. Let's put aside his abilities. Section Chief Yang is really filial. I think he's better than the three in my family." Liu Haizhong chatted with Yi Zhonghai as they walked.

"Well, this child has been filial since he was young. Otherwise, why do you think his aunt has supported him for so many years? 20 yuan a month, that's a lot. Fortunately, this child works hard and not only got into college, but also became an engineer. So, going to school is useful."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands and looked as if he didn't care, but from the upturned corners of his mouth, it could be seen that he was still very proud.

"Who said it wasn't? It's a pity that the three kids in my family aren't that kind of material. He is the first college student in our compound. Although he wasn't born and raised here, he was supported by you, old Yi." Liu Haizhong said with deep agreement.

"This is the result of the child's own hard work. It has little to do with me. This is how my life will be. This is the end of my level 8 benchwork." Yi Zhonghai said very easily.

Liu Haixin said: At least you passed level 8, even if it was only two years ago, but, that is still level 8. I haven't even passed level 7 yet.

"Look how proud you are. Old Liu will be able to pass Level 8 sooner or later." Liu Haizhong glared at Yi Zhonghai and said.

"Then you have to work harder. I don't have any goals anyway." Yi Zhonghai said slowly, then walked away with square steps.

"Hey, wait for me. We agreed to go home together." Liu Haizhong quickly took two steps after him.

Yang Zhenyu did not go home with Yi Zhonghai today. He went back first, and Yi Zhonghai and the others got off work a little later.

"Zhenyu, we have a day off tomorrow. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning, and then go to the lumber factory. I'm thinking of buying a bicycle first, then a sewing machine, and a watch. We can buy other things if we like them. We don't need that little money anyway." Yi Zhonghai said domineeringly.

"I think I should just buy a bicycle first. I happen to have the ticket, but I can't use the watch and sewing machine for the time being. It's better to wait until I find a partner." Yang Zhenyu decisively rejected the good intentions of the old couple.

"Don't worry about it. Just leave it to me when the time comes." Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said.

Why have these old couple been so stingy for so many years?
The first is retirement money. You will feel at ease only if you save money.

Second, everyone in the compound is suffering, so they can’t be too nice, lest they arouse envy.

But now it’s different. With the appearance of Yang Zhenyu, he has a very high salary and doesn’t have to worry about not having money for retirement in the future.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai and his wife both knew that Yang Zhenyu was very filial and had decided to provide for them in their old age. If they didn't spend money on Yang Zhenyu at this time, what would the point of keeping the money?
