Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 606 Xiwang

Actually, Wei Kaiyun’s design is quite simple. The rotary cultivator is a central pillar, wrapped with sharp thick iron pieces, and pulled along by a tractor.

As for the seeder, it’s also quite simple. It has a central pillar with a few notches on top, which is the seeding area using a drum mechanism.

After Master Yang saw it, he laughed and patted Wei Kaiyun on the shoulder, "I didn’t expect you to have researched this?"

Wei Kaiyun felt embarrassed; it was all his wife’s idea. His wife’s words made it simpler and resulted in this design.

"Xiao Wei, I’ll call tomorrow morning. If it’s possible, I’ll accompany you to return the sprayer and then go with you to get the tractor.

If you can explain the equipment you need over the phone, that would be even better. When you arrive, you can come back with it. If they don’t understand, I estimate the machinery factory will be able to make it in a day, so it won’t delay any big matters."

"Okay. I understand. If it really works, it’ll save us a lot of effort."

"Xiao Wei, this isn’t just about saving effort; it’ll also give you some achievements."

"I hope so. I didn’t care about these before, but now I’m the father of three children and a husband. I want to stand cleanly behind them and give them the best."

Old Yang felt a twinge of sadness in his heart, as he had nothing himself.

Early the next morning, before it was light, the two of them got up, had breakfast, and went straight to ponder over the materials. Old Yang also called in two skilled helpers for Wei Kaiyun.

After a day, the sprayer was ready. When tested, the nozzle didn’t work well, but finally, someone came up with the idea of using a plastic tube with small holes, which worked okay. The large plastic tank on the back was quite a burden though.

Old Yang had already made contacts. No acquaintances at the tractor factory, but he knew the leaders, and upon hearing that Wei Kaiyun was coming, they promised to get it for him.

On hearing that Xiao Wei also designed a rotary cultivator and seeder, they immediately contacted the tractor factory.

Wei Kaiyun discussed with the engineers at the factory for a while, and they immediately understood his concept.

The tractor factory promised to complete it within five days.

They were genuinely happy about this, "Old Yang, come back with me now. I’ll return the sprayer and then get some money to pick up the vehicle."

"Sure, you don’t need to handle this matter, I’ll deal with Li Yungui."

Took the prepared medicinal materials required by Shang Zhenkun.

The two managed to get home by six in the evening. The family was eating dinner: wheat flour buns, corn grits porridge, fried dried radish with sea shrimp, and red salted veggies with scrambled eggs.

Jiang Xinyu stood up happily upon seeing Wei Kaiyun come in with the homemade sprayer. Old Yang followed, pushing a bicycle.

"Sister-in-law Liu, go fry some eggs. Also, cook some noodles." Jiang Xinyu quickly instructed. The buns were enough but not the corn grits porridge.

Wei Kaiyun hurriedly set down the sprayer and supported Jiang Xinyu with his hand, "Be careful."

"I know what I’m doing. Master Yang, please come in and sit; the meal will be ready soon."

"Xiao Jiang, don’t be so formal, what is the relationship between our families? No need for such invitations."

Wei Kaiyun, supporting Jiang Xinyu, gave instructions while watching his son, "Jianbin, Shi Jing, you two go to the village chief’s house and invite him over."

The two boys were thrilled to be given a task. They felt a sense of responsibility, as being given chores by adults means they are considered grown up.

Shang Zhenkun tried the sprayer with water, pressing to build pressure. Although it didn’t spray a mist, it was quite good and could be refined by professionals.

Jiang Feifei watched and felt her father was quite talented. Despite a crude design and poor explanation, he’d made it a reality.

It seems she should have her mother give the necessary chemical materials to Uncle Yang, so both herbicides can be produced.

As for pesticide residue issues, there shouldn’t be much, as there aren’t vast amounts of those chemicals available.

Sister-in-law Liu was quick at cooking; fried eggs and each person got a large bowl of noodles cooked with animal fat, containing only a bit of pickled cabbage. The house was really running low on vegetables.

But they could get by, as soon there will be wild vegetables to gather in their spare time.

The two of them each took two buns, a large bowl of noodle soup.

Just as they finished eating, the village chief arrived. Earlier, he wasn’t home, and the kids had been sent to fetch him. Learning Wei Kaiyun had returned, he hurried over.

Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun stood to welcome him.

"Xiao Wei, is this the sprayer?"

"Yes, village chief, you can try it."

"Okay, let me try."

Li Yungui was grinning ear to ear. If this herbicide works, it’ll free up a lot of time for other tasks.

He kept experimenting, like a child playing with his favorite toy, unwilling to let it go.

Old Yang called out to him, "Village Chief Li, I have more good news to share with you along with Xiao Wei. Do you want to hear it?"

"What good news?" Li Yungui, filled with excitement, came over without letting go of the sprayer.

"Village Chief Li, Xiao Wei has also come up with a seeder and rotary cultivator, but we are unsure of their effectiveness. I contacted a tractor factory, and they have agreed to make them. Xiao Wei can go there tomorrow and bring back the machines and tractor."

"Tractor? Seeder? Rotary cultivator?

Old Yang, Xiao Wei, are you saying what I’m hoping for?" Li Yungui was already babbling with excitement.

"Village Chief Li, rest assured, it’s true. I’ve already had someone buy the tickets. Xiao Wei will set off tomorrow, as the tractor factory is in another city, and it’s not nearby."

Now Li Yungui finally put down the sprayer.

"Old Yang, how much is this tractor?"

"Five thousand six hundred for one, including the equipment, you should prepare about eight thousand. It shouldn’t cost that much, but it’s better safe than sorry." Old Yang said with a smile.

"Eight thousand?" Li Yungui had seen a thousand yuan only a few times, and it was money exchanged from grain deliveries.

"Yes, a tractor in the future is a money-burner, after all, it runs on diesel."

This made Li Yungui hang his head, as no matter how good something is, it’s useless without money. Wait, Old Yang said they’d pick up the vehicle tomorrow.

He suddenly lifted his head, "Old Yang, what about the money?"

"Xiao Wei and his wife don’t have enough savings for this money, and the rest I lent to him. As for the diesel, we’ll figure something out together. If your village gets a tractor, it’ll be the first in your township."

"Old Yang, Xiao Wei, how about this? You two advance the money first?"
