"Shall we go to the city for a walk now?"

"Let's go to the city and have a look. I originally planned to walk around."

"Then let's go to the busiest area we just passed, the one with the highest building, and have something to eat. I was in a hurry to find a place, so I only stopped to ask for directions, and didn't even think about eating."

"Are you going back tonight?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. If we go shopping for a while and then go back, the sun will go down. It's not safe to walk at night. Why don't we stay in a guest house for one night and go back early tomorrow morning?"

"Then come back tomorrow, lest you roll down the hill like the leader before."

"It wasn't the leader who rolled down the hillside, it was the officer who rolled down the hillside because it was dark and he couldn't see the road clearly and there was a curve."

"That's wrong. It would be nice to know what it means anyway."

They also told Uncle Zhou that they would return tomorrow, and now they were heading towards the city they just came from.

After the important things were done, everyone felt relaxed, and it didn't take long to get to the city. When we first arrived, it was time-consuming because we were asking for directions while driving.

When walking back, everyone was interested and looked at the scenery along the way.

However, Ye Yaodong quickly shouted to stop when the tractor was passing through a section of road.

Uncle Zhou thought something had happened and stopped quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"What's the matter, Dongzi?"

"What are you doing? Why do you want to stop?"

Everyone turned to look at him.

Ye Yaodong pointed to the factory building that was behind him after driving too far, "I saw the agricultural machinery factory. This should be a factory that produces tractors. I didn't pay attention to the scenery on the roadside when I went there. I didn't expect that the tractor factory was also nearby.

.”

Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "My tractor was also produced by this factory at that time, and it is still there decades ago."

"Let's go take a look. We're here anyway."

"What's so good about this? We don't want to buy it. If we go in, we might be kicked out. This kind of state-owned factory can be entered at will."

"Yes, you need a letter of introduction and a unit subscription, right? It's easy for you to get in if you want."

"You guys wait here, I'll go ask."

He had read the newspaper and found that at the beginning of this year, farmers were allowed to purchase motor vehicles and tractors individually or jointly, but he didn't know what procedures were required.

When he saw this news, he kept it in mind, thinking that if he planned to buy a tractor at any time, he could go directly to the factory to make a reservation, and it didn't necessarily have to be a company.

Although this document is small, it is the first time that the legality of private purchases of cars and tractors has been clarified. It means that car consumption will make a qualitative leap in both policy and production and sales - from a single channel of public-funded car purchases to diversified consumption.

"I'll go with you." Aguang jumped down immediately behind him.

The two dads couldn't stop them and could only watch them run away again.

Father Ye couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you so bold? For such a large state-owned factory, why do they come to your door as soon as they say they will?"

"Maybe I'm thinking that I've already come and passed by, and I'm curious and want to take a look. Let's wait. Anyway, we'll be kicked out after a while."

Uncle Zhou couldn't help but ask: "Is A Dong planning to buy a tractor?"

"Ah? Haven't heard of it? You haven't told me about it. Maybe you just passed by?" Father Ye said in surprise.

"I heard he made a lot of money during this trip. He can buy a 25-horsepower tractor for only 6,000 yuan. Didn't he say he wanted to buy it?"

"You haven't told me about it, and I don't know. This kid has a good idea, and I don't know what his plans are. Anyway, when we talked about planning and plans last night, he didn't mention buying a tractor."

"oh."

Father Ye and Father Pei looked at each other. They both understood, but did not discuss it.

They all knew what Lao Zhou was worried about. Dongzi was now a big family in the village and Lao Zhou's big customer. Throughout the year, his car alone was worth the sum of the other jobs he took on.

With the loss of Dongzi, a large owner, his income has been reduced by half.

However, seeing as he uses the car so frequently now, it is really better to buy one by himself. Although it consumes a lot of fuel, the tractor is durable and will not break down after decades of use. If it is used for a longer period of time, it will only take a few years to pay back the cost.

Give money to others to earn.

Ye Yaodong also thinks so. If you buy one now, you can use it after forty years. The quality of the things these days is very good, and it will be more valuable after forty years. Although the purchasing power of the two generations is different,

But it won't be a loss.

The most important thing is that with the tractor, he can handle the transportation problem himself and achieve a one-stop service without entrusting others. Anyway, he now needs people and money.

The policy has also been opened up, allowing individuals or joint households to buy and sell, which is also a good opportunity.

I wanted to buy a brigade tractor last year, but I just remembered Uncle Zhou's affection. He was a tractor driver in the brigade, and there was no one on hand at that time, so I didn't have time to drive it.

Ye Yaodong and the others came and went very quickly. After getting in the car, they asked Uncle Zhou to continue walking.

Uncle Zhou was also relieved and didn't delay for too long, which meant he was kicked out directly without going in.

Father Ye asked him in a low voice from behind, "Did you get kicked out?"

"No, I didn't go in either. You're not allowed in."

"That means being kicked out."

"Can you please stop thinking that way? I just went over to ask a few questions. Do you really want me to be kicked out?"

"Isn't this because if you hadn't been kicked out, how could you have come back so quickly?"

Ye Yaodong glanced sideways at his father and ignored him.

He actually asked if he could come in.

After being unable to enter, he asked again if individuals could really buy it. He said that he had read in the newspaper that individuals were allowed to purchase, but he didn't know what conditions were required.

Then, because he was going to cause trouble, an old man at the door also told him everything.

It is said that the motor vehicles, ships and tractors purchased by farmers individually or jointly are used for non-commercial transportation to serve agricultural production and farmers' lives, and to transport agricultural and sideline products for sale to the state or to the market. They can transport them with a certificate from the township government.

To engage in commercial transportation, you must apply for registration with the local industrial and commercial administration department with a certificate from the production brigade or village committee. After review and approval by the county and city industrial and commercial administration departments, you can only operate after a business license is issued.

There are no restrictions on purchasing, as long as you provide proof of identity.

After getting the information, he left with satisfaction.

The dried fish he transported was an agricultural and sideline product and was not used for profit-making transportation. The formalities were not that troublesome, as long as the township government issued a certificate.

But he didn't dare to make a decision on the spot. This was a very large item, and it was also an important farm tool and means of transportation. He had to go back and discuss it with Ah Qing anyway.

It's something worth several thousand dollars. If I don't discuss it with her, I'll probably be really angry. Very angry.

He already has a long criminal record and has been executed many times before being punished. He must not do it again, lest he be thrown into the cold palace.

Moreover, during this period, he was ordering a ship, buying a shop, buying land to build a workshop, and building a building. Each of these would cost a lot of money, and he had to go back and settle the account with Ah Qing.

You also need to first check how many shops you want to buy and how much the land will cost. Once these are determined, if you have a lot of money left, you can then consider a tractor.

He cannot be impulsive and must control his spending.

It was true that he was passing by just now, which just hit the hidden thought in his mind. In fact, he was not in such a hurry. Everyone was still waiting on the roadside, so how could he make a decision immediately on the spot.

Anyway, I will come here to ride a motorcycle in a while, and the two factories are close to each other. If I am sure, I can make another reservation.

Father Ye stopped asking when he saw that he didn't speak. The tractor was also very noisy while it was driving. It was inconvenient to speak softly because he was afraid that he would not be heard. He also had concerns about speaking loudly.

Along the way, they continued to look at the scene on the road. There were many villages and farmland around the motorcycle factory, and there were also many farmers coming and going. It was also some distance away from the building they saw before.

The buildings being built now give everyone who is used to seeing short bungalows a sense of shock and excitement. Although it will not matter in the future, it is a characteristic of progress in this era.

It also gave everyone a signal that times are really different.

After the tractor arrived in the city again, Uncle Zhou found a slightly open place and stopped first to let them walk past so as not to get too close to the crowd and unable to move.

It happened that the place where he parked was still a park. When they jumped out of the car, they saw that most of the people walking in the park were young men and women, some with children, and some old people.

"It's quite beautiful. It even has a park. It deserves to be a provincial capital."

"Hey, someone is playing disco in front."

"What the hell?"

"Over there, look, there are young people dancing there."

They all took a few steps forward and looked around. They saw a group of men and women dressed in fancy clothes, dancing to the music in the open space in front of them. Some of the men were very naughty men with slicked back hair, toad glasses, and flowery shirts.

Bell bottoms and some overalls.

Aguang said with envy: "They are so fashionable in their dressing up, and they can even dance."

"They are all in a hurry."

"All the educated youth have returned to the city, so the streets in the city are now full of young people."

"Let's go, let's continue to look forward, and leave the things to Uncle Zhou to look at."

Although there are two lockboxes, there is no money or anything valuable in them, so it doesn't matter.

Ah Guang and the others were accompanying him, and they had at most a hundred dollars with them to buy things.
