Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

"tractor!"

Ji Han stared intently at Shi Shaoyu.

"If you can get a tractor for Zhangzhuang Brigade, you'll become a big celebrity in the entire Zhangzhuang Brigade and even the Qianjin Commune!"

"Think about it, once you have a tractor, you can attach a header to the front of the tractor to mechanize wheat harvesting, attach a trailer to the back to haul wheat, attach a stone roller to thresh it, and you can also haul people or goods."

"So, what do you think? Isn't this idea brilliant?"

Shi Shaoyu recalled the longing looks in the eyes of the brigade leaders when they first met and saw them eyeing the only tractor. He felt that Ji Han's idea was absolutely brilliant!

only,

"By the way, the few points we have in our system aren't enough to buy tractors and cutting platforms, are they?"

Ji Han gestured for Shi Shaoyu to open the system store and check it out.

"Young Master Shi, do you have some misunderstanding about current prices? Think about how we earn less than a penny a day in work points, and then think about how an egg costs three cents. How can you think that more than two thousand yuan can't buy a tractor?"

Most importantly, Ji Han had checked the system beforehand and found a Dongfanghong tractor from this era, priced exactly at the lower limit of two thousand, at one thousand eight hundred yuan.

After verifying everything in the system store, Shi Shaoyu perked up. He quickly rubbed himself a couple of times, changed his clothes, and headed straight for the brigade leader's house.

Of course, he returned helplessly less than a minute later, since Ji Han, whose pacemaker was supposed to be for a vegetable, hadn't kept up with him and was still leisurely taking a bath in the water.

"Hey Lao Ji, hurry up! Why are you taking so long to take a shower, you grown man?"

If it weren't for having something to tell him, Ji Han wouldn't have bothered with this idiot.

"You rushed over there so hastily, did you think about how to tell the brigade leader? What will you say if the brigade leader asks you where you got the information? You haven't left the brigade recently and haven't received any letters from home. Are you so sure your family won't leak the information? Or do you have other channels?"

Shi Shaoyu was somewhat bewildered by Ji Han's barrage of questions, unsure of where to begin his response.

"So, Lao Ji, what do you think we should do?"

Ji Han was very skeptical. With Shi Shaoyu's brain, how did he manage to survive in a large family in his previous life? Aren't children from wealthy families supposed to be scheming and plotting from birth? How come this one looks so stupid?

"Didn't the system store mail you something last time? Did you check the return address on it?"

Shi Shaoyu slapped his forehead.

"I was really stupid. I only wrote Heilongjiang Province as the sender address, without any details. The sender's name was Shi Xi."

At this moment, Ji Han also dried himself off, went ashore, and changed his clothes.

"Alright, let's go. Your uncle had a falling out with his family back then and ran away to Heilongjiang Province. He's only still in contact with you in the entire Shi family now, and it's said that he's doing quite well in Heilongjiang Province, holding a high-ranking official position."

"Of course, if the battalion commander doesn't ask you in detail, you won't tell him. If he does ask, you'll just give a brief answer. If he asks even more questions, you'll say it's a secret. At this point, no battalion commander can resist the temptation of the tractor."

"As for the remaining quarry and such, your personal abilities are limited, so you can directly ask the brigade leader to apply to the commune. It would be best if the brigade leader could get it himself, but if he can't, we'll have some leverage to negotiate, right?"

Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han went over their "statements" again in detail before leisurely walking towards the brigade leader's house. They arrived just in time; if they had been two minutes later, the brigade leader's family would have started eating. At this time of day, going to someone's house empty-handed during mealtime would not have been a welcome gesture.

The captain, puffing on his pipe, ushered the two men into the inner room.

"Shi Zhiqing, Ji Zhiqing, do you two need something from me?"

Although the brigade leader never said it, he actually had a pretty good impression of Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. Although these two educated youths were not very enthusiastic about their work, they also did not cause trouble. Moreover, they had paid for all the points they were entitled to. At least in the brigade leader's eyes, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu could be stamped with the seal of "money and little trouble".

As usual, Ji Han huddled in the shadows by the door, leaving Shi Shaoyu to fight alone.

"Captain, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. We'd like to ask for leave tomorrow to go to the county town."

Upon hearing this, the team leader frowned instantly. Normally, he would approve two days' leave for these two men, but now it was the summer harvest season. Even if they were sick and not hospitalized, they would still work together, let alone two healthy young men.

Fortunately, Shi Shaoyu didn't pause for too long while speaking.

“As you know, Captain, I went to the commune once before the autumn harvest. When I was on the phone with my uncle, I overheard that he could get a tractor. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention because I had little experience. Now that I’m actually participating in the summer harvest, I realize how important a tractor is to our rural area.”

"Besides being able to haul grain, I've also heard of harvesters that are mounted on the front of tractors, which can quickly harvest wheat from the fields. That's much faster than doing it manually!"

"certainly......"

The captain couldn't hear anything about the cutting platform anymore; his mind was now stuck on the word "tractor"! He grabbed Shi Shaoyu, who was still chattering on and on, and said excitedly...

"Shi Zhiqing, are you serious? Can you really get a tractor for our Zhangzhuang brigade? Really?"

Ji Han watched as the captain sprayed saliva in excitement, expressing 120% satisfaction with the viewing spot he had chosen from the beginning. Meanwhile, Shi Shaoyu, standing opposite him, could only endure this baptism with his forehead.

"Really, Captain, I heard from my uncle that there are tractors, but that was before the autumn harvest. Now I need to ask for leave to call and ask to confirm if there are any left. Also, I need to ask if we can sell them to our brigade if we do. So, Captain, what do you think about our leave requests?"

"Approved! I'll approve it right away! Or, Shi Zhiqing, you two can go to the commune and make the call now!"

Ji Han... Fortunately, Shi Shaoyu's mind didn't go blank with the captain's excitement.

"Captain, I was thinking of making a call today, but look at the time. The commune's post office has been closed for ages."

The captain finally snapped out of his extreme excitement.

"Ahem... Well, Uncle Gang misspoke. Um, I've approved your leave this time, Shi Qing. You must set off early tomorrow morning to make the calls. After you make the calls, don't linger. Come back quickly and report the results to the team."
