Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 719: Money is never wasted
On the way, Wang Li returned the 30 yuan to Wang An and asked Wang An:
"Fourth brother, what are you going to do with all these things?"

To be honest, Wang An was very lazy to talk when driving or riding a four-wheeler.

Because the diesel engine is so loud when it's running, you have to shout every time you say something.

So after hearing Wang Li's words, Wang An said directly:
"Let's talk about it when we get home. You'll understand when you get home."

Wang Li nodded and stopped talking.

A few minutes later, Wang An and Wang Li drove the car back to Wang An's yard.

At this time in Wang An's yard, Liu Guilan, Mu Xueqing, and Shen Wei were picking dried cabbage and dried mushrooms.

The walking tractor was not at home. Wang Dazhu must have gone to plow the soil. Wang Li's walking tractor was also gone. Wang Daliang and his wife must have gone back as well.

Seeing Wang An and the other man coming back, Liu Guilan stood up and asked:

"Xiao An, I heard from your father that you went to buy a rice transplanter?"

Wang An pointed at the truck bed and said with a smile:

"Well, I bought them all. I bought them at scrap metal prices. They are really cheap."

Liu Guilan did not go to see the rice transplanter, but asked worriedly:

"Are you sure the rice transplanter can work? No one has used it in our area for years. Don't let it destroy all the rice seedlings and paddy fields."

It can be seen that Liu Guilan was very conflicted at this time.

He wanted to dissuade Wang An, but he didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm. He also wanted efficiency, but he was afraid of taking risks.

In fact, China's agriculture at this time is far more developed than imagined, and many things that are conducive to improving agriculture have been developed.

For example, seed plows, sprayers, irrigation pumps, harvesters for various crops, and so on.

However, most of these things only appear on large farms. For ordinary farmers, they still use the most primitive way of farming.

On the one hand, there is no money to change, and on the other hand, the cost of trial and error is too high.

Although there is a lot of land in Heilongjiang Province, and each household has dozens of acres of land, there is only one season of crops in Heilongjiang Province, and disasters such as insect plagues, floods, and frost are also quite serious.

To put it simply, if this batch of crops does not grow well, there will be no chance to remedy the situation.

Even if you plant something else, you can only harvest some straw to feed livestock, and this piece of land will be completely wasted this year.

Therefore, Liu Guilan’s worries are actually completely necessary.

Wang An looked at the worried look on my mother's face and said with a smile:

"Of course it will work. Do you really think I'm a tiger? I'm sure this thing will work for him. Otherwise, why would I buy it?"

After hearing this, Liu Guilan felt a little relieved. She looked at the rice transplanter on the truck bed and seemed to want to say something, but she opened her mouth and said nothing.

So Wang An said again:

"Don't worry, mom. I will never let our rice fields go to waste."

After saying this, Wang An turned to Wang Li and said:

"Come on, Lao Wu, let's take all this stuff off."

"Okay, fourth brother." Wang Li agreed casually.

As they talked, the two men moved all three rice transplanters down. Only after they had moved everything did Wang Li ask again:

"Fourth brother, what do you want to do with those things?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Li still remembered this. Wang An pointed at the rice transplanter with his chin and said:
"I must put these things away and tinker with them."

After saying that, without paying any more attention to Wang Li, Wang An turned around and went to the car to take down the pile of newly bought things.

Then, Wang An took out a wrench and started to remove the screws from one of the rice transplanters.

Until Wang An had removed two screws, he looked up and found that Wang Li was watching him tighten the screws with great interest.

So Wang An said unhappily:
"What are you looking at like an idiot? Go, there's a wrench in the bag. When you see a machine you like, just look for the bearings and remove the screws one by one. Then apply some butter when you're done."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li agreed and went to find a wrench excitedly.

I have to say that probably most men like to tinker with something, such as tightening a screw or repairing a tool.

Anyway, Wang Li was tightening the screws seriously and happily.

Less than an hour later, the two brothers had completed the maintenance of all three rice transplanters.

Then, Wang An started to cut the iron sheets with scissors and then drilled holes in the cut iron sheets.

The rice transplanter at this time was different from the one that Wang An had modified in the fence in his previous life. Fortunately, the structure and principle of this thing were basically the same, so it was not difficult for Wang An.

It is nothing more than adjusting the amplitude of the seedling needle movement, changing the position of the hydraulic rod, raising the height of the floating plate, and finally letting the seedling pusher pierce deeper.
In short, as soon as the seedlings are picked up by the rice transplanter's needles, they must be deeply embedded in the mud to ensure their survival.

Either the seedlings were not picked up by the seedling needles, and then the places where the seedlings were planted could be clearly seen where the seedlings were missing, giving people time to remedy the situation in time.

The most taboo thing about rice seedlings is that you can see them standing there, but after a few days they fall to the ground and die, making it too late to remedy the situation.

The reason for this problem is that the roots of the seedlings are not embedded in the mud, but only enter the mud a little bit shallowly.

Wang An modified his own rice transplanter while guiding Wang Li in doing the same. In this way, an entire afternoon passed.

When Wang Dazhu came back in the evening, Wang An and his partner had completely modified the rice transplanter, but had not yet debugged it.

When Wang Dazhu came back from turning the fields, not only was his tractor covered with black mud, but his body was also covered with black mud.

But it can be seen that Wang Dazhu is in a serious and good mood.

Because the first time he saw Liu Guilan, Wang Dazhu said with a smile on his face:
"Xiao An really made a good deal by buying this walk-behind tractor. My second brother and I have already tilled all the rice fields of our three families in just one afternoon. This thing that uses oil can work quickly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guilan prepared a bath for Wang Dazhu and asked in surprise:

"More than 40 acres of land are finished in the afternoon?"

Wang Dazhu nodded with a smile on his face and said:

"Yeah, we just did it like it was a joke. This thing is really good and it's fast."

Liu Guilan nodded and said:
"Of course, money is never wasted."

It can be seen that Liu Guilan is also very happy.

After cleaning, Wang Dazhu came to Wang An and his partner who were adjusting the rice transplanter, and asked impatiently:

"Xiao An, what's going on? Can this thing be used tomorrow?"
