Chapter 44: Did the captain benefit from Song Cenyue's help?

"Little educated youth Song, let's go inside." Zhang Shengjin smiled and took Song Cenyue into the middle room of the tile-roofed house.

The main hall is in the middle of this tile-roofed house, and there are two rooms on both sides of the main hall, which should be rooms. The kitchen is built against the gable of the room on the left.

Song Cenyue followed Zhang Shengjin into the main room and found that the furniture inside was quite old-fashioned and looked a bit rustic, but it was very clean and tidy, and there were some farm tools in the corner.

As expected of a farmhouse, there are so many furnitures! Song Cenyue thought to herself.

"Young educated youth Xiao Song, your home is simple, please don't mind, just sit anywhere." Zhang Shengjin greeted politely.

"No! This house is nice and full of warmth. It looks like a warm home at first glance." Song Cenyue said with a smile.

Zhang Shengjin was very happy, thinking that this girl was really good at talking and praising, which made people feel comfortable and like her very much.

"Young educated youth Song, please sit down." Zhang Shengjin specially went to get the best chair for Song Cenyue to sit on. After Song Cenyue sat down, he just said he would make a cup of tea for Song Cenyue when he saw his wife coming with two cups of tea.

"Girl, have some tea..."

"Thank you, auntie." Song Cenyue reached out to take a cup of tea and took a look in the cup. It was the worst kind of tea. But think about it, the farmers at that time were not like the people in the city who would be given some tickets every month. Farmers did not get any tickets. They only got cloth tickets once a year. If farmers needed something, they could only go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange their agricultural products, which was not easy.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for Zhang Sheng and his family to exchange for this little bit of tea without the tea tickets.

Zhang Shengjin was relatively lucky, at least he could still get some tea to drink. Ordinary farmers certainly couldn't get enough tea to drink. Tea was scarce at that time, so it was naturally expensive.

"My daughter, this tea is not very good, but please don't despise it. We farmers don't have tea tickets. Your captain uncle spent a lot of money to buy this tea from the supply and marketing cooperative. He usually doesn't want to drink it, and told me to only use it to brew tea when there are distinguished guests. It's specially made for distinguished guests..."

He is lucky to have you here today, because you are here, so he can drink this tea with you." Dong Jinhua said to Song Cenyue while handing another cup of tea to her man.

She felt bad when she thought about how her husband took more than five kilograms of sorghum flour to the supply and marketing cooperative and only got this kilogram of inferior tea in exchange. But her husband said that sometimes when people from above came, it would be impossible to entertain them without some tea. It seemed like this was the truth.

"Aunt, you actually gave me such precious tea. I am so grateful that I would never despise you." Song Cenyue said quickly. "Aunt, Captain, I am flattered by your hospitality!"

Zhang Shengjin and Dong Jinhua both smiled. Zhang Shengjin then went to get a small stool and placed it next to Song Cenyue. "Little Song Zhiqing, put your teacup on this stool to avoid burning your hands by holding the cup all the time."

"Well, thank you, Captain."

Zhang Shengjin then took the chair he usually sat on and sat opposite Song Cenyue.

Dong Jincha went to the room behind the main hall. When she came out, she had a handful of melon seeds in her hand. She returned to Song Cenyue and put the melon seeds on the small stool where Song Cenyue placed his teacup.

"My girl, I don't have anything good to treat you, so I just found some melon seeds to treat you, please eat some."

"Thank you, auntie." Song Cenyue hurriedly thanked them, thinking that the couple really treated her as a distinguished guest.

"I'll go back to the kitchen to cook. You can chat with your team leader." Dong Jinhua thought that the dishes in her kitchen were not finished yet, so she said something to Song Cenyue, left the main room and went to the kitchen.

"Young educated youth Xiao Song, eat some melon seeds." Zhang Shengjin pointed at the melon seeds on the small stool and greeted him.

Song Cenyue nodded, but did not reach out to eat the melon seeds. Instead, she asked, "Captain uncle, I wonder what's the matter that you called me here alone?" She had not had the chance to ask before, but now she had to ask, as she had been sitting in the room for a while.

"It's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask if you can repair a tractor." Zhang Shengjin took the opportunity to say. If she didn't ask, he was just about to ask her about this.

"Yes." Song Cenyue nodded immediately, "Uncle, but there is a broken tractor in the team. Do you need me to repair it? No problem."

The captain and his wife treated me so warmly and kindly. If there is a tractor that needs to be repaired by me, I must agree... No, that's not right.

Song Cenyue suddenly remembered something, realized that something was wrong, and shook her head in her heart.

Zhang Shengjin had said before that the Yongfeng production team didn’t have a tractor…

"Our team is extremely poor and we don't have any tractors to repair for you, but there are tractors to repair for you elsewhere." Zhang Shengjin shook his head and smiled.

A hint of doubt appeared on Song Cenyue's beautiful face, "Is there a tractor somewhere else that I can repair?" What does this mean?

"Uncle, I'm not going to hide it. I'm going to tell you straight. Although our production team is poor and doesn't have tractors, several communes in this area and several wealthy production teams all have tractors. Their tractors break down from time to time, and usually they go to the tractor factory or agricultural machinery factory in the city to repair them...

But not only do you have to pay, you also have to ask your grandma to sue your grandpa, say nice things, and give gifts before they will repair it. And you have to wait in line, it can't be repaired immediately...

I was thinking that if you can repair tractors, I will tell them to come to you to repair their tractors in the future. Our fees are cheaper than those of the tractor factory and the agricultural machinery factory, and there is no need to wait in line, so you and our production team can both make some money. "Zhang Shengjin explained his intention.

Fearing that Song Cenyue would not agree, Zhang Shengjin quickly continued, "You may not know that repairing tractors is very profitable. A minor repair costs more than ten yuan, and for a major repair, the tractor factory and agricultural machinery factory will charge fifty or even hundreds of yuan.

Although you are a member of our production team, the money you earn from repairing the tractor will be counted in the production team's account, but you will never suffer a loss. You and the production team will split the profit 50-50. If you make 10 yuan from repairing a tractor, you earn 5 yuan and the production team earns 5 yuan. If you earn 20 yuan, you earn 10 yuan and the production team earns 10 yuan...

And you don't have to work in the fields, but you will be given five work points every day. Although the work points here are not valuable, one work point is only two cents, but if you are given five work points every day, that means 150 work points a month, which can earn you three yuan. Moreover, when the food is distributed, you will be given special care and an extra 20 kilograms of food will be given to you.

But you have just arrived. I am afraid that people will gossip about you and it would not be good if you don’t work in the fields all day. So I have to bear with you for a few days. You still have to work in the fields like other educated youth... When a tractor breaks down, you go to repair it. When you earn money, you don’t have to work in the fields anymore.

This way, other people won’t be able to say anything or have any opinions, because after all, you have helped the production team make money.”

In order to get Song Cenyue to agree, Zhang Shengjin really spent a lot of money and gave her the best conditions he could.

I wonder if Song Cenyue will agree?
