Chapter 23 1. A "Combine" came to Beijing Railway Station

There are all kinds of evil people in this world, and the policemen encounter more evil people.That day there was a policeman who looked like Ma Tianmin, and when he was patrolling the entrance of the Beijing station, he felt that there was a new one. This one looks fresh? Look at this question, people are not vegetables, who can grow fresh?The northern men in their late forties or near fifty, their eyes are slightly dull, and their skin is tanned black and red, which is not fresh at all.She was wearing new clothes, but under the sun, if you look carefully, the collar of the new clothes was covered with yellow sweat stains.

The person is not fresh, but the expression is fresh. The police saw him at eight or nine in the morning and didn't pay attention at that time.This man noticed that the policeman was staring at him, and turned his head to look hard, like a son-in-law. After watching a lot, Comrade Ma Tianmin didn't take him seriously-it was clear at a glance that this one had nothing to do with breaking the law.He must be an honest farmer from the Northeast, and this is his first time in Beijing. Just look at the collar of the clothes.That Chinese tunic suit still has dead folds on it!Most of them were changed in sleeper berths when they arrived in Beijing, in order to give Beijing a good impression.When I come to Beijing, I have to wear all the clothes that are in the bottom of the suitcase.

There are no bathing facilities on the train, your clothes are new, and the sweat on your neck doesn’t give you face, it won’t take you half a day, that’s all. By the way, in the early 1980s, visiting Beijing was a big deal.There was a correctional cadre in the Northeast who went to Beijing, and when he came back, he walked in and pulled out a Beijing old prisoner: How dare you play me, kid?Who said that the rollers under Tiananmen Square would be pushed back at night?Yoyo lied to me for three years... For three years, this person firmly believes that Tiananmen Square is a thing that hides at night, which is unimaginable today.

What is that guy watching the police for?That's because people want to see what the capital police wear and how to dress up, so they can learn from the villagers when they go back. If he knew how many days he would have to watch the police later, he would definitely not be as serious as he is now. Ma Tianmin was happy, raised his chest and went on patrol.When I turned back at 11 o'clock, I felt a little wrong-why is this person still here? If you want to ask, I see that this guy is staring at the north side, as if he doesn't care about himself.At this moment, an aunt asked Ma Tianmin if there was a donkey meat shop nearby, and she forgot about it as soon as she interrupted.

After eating at noon, he took a nap. In the afternoon, Ma Tianmin went on patrol. He took a cold look, alas...why hasn't this guy left yet? ! I saw that this guy was still standing in the same place, his legs were like stances, which meant that he hadn't even moved his nest since morning.Nothing else has changed, except that the two eyes are as big as the buns. There must be something wrong with this guy.Ma Tianmin is an enthusiastic policeman, so he wanted to go up and see what he could do to help.With this step, Ma Tianmin hesitated again. what happened? The place where this guy is standing is not suitable - he is standing on the curb beside the square in front of the station.

There are two police stations at the railway station, one is for the railway police and the other is for the Beijing public security police.The railway does not care about law and order, and the law and order does not care about the railway. The so-called railway police each manage a section, and the border between the two is the curb. Ma Tianmin is a public security policeman. Hey, you really know how to choose a place where you stand. I just overstepped my authority. How about I find a railway policeman? Just as he hesitated, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Catch the thief!"

Ma Tianmin turned his head reflexively, and saw a group of people, holding bedding rolls and travel bags, gnashing their teeth around something. "It's reasonable, I'm a policeman, don't hit people!" Ma Tianmin rushed over, he knew that he was surrounded by thieves, so he had to go quickly, later, who will be counted if they kill someone? While shouting and running, he turned his head abruptly, and saw that big old man who raised his jacket sleeve to wipe his eyes—Ma Tianmin felt a "thump" in his heart—"crackling" tears, this There must be something big!

Ma Tianmin managed to settle this group of people, and when he looked up again, the man was nowhere to be found. The shoe repairer next to him told him: "I went to the police station, I think my daughter-in-law ran away..." Wife ran away?No, I think it's more sad than a daughter-in-law running away.Ma Tianmin took off his hat and blew it, and walked towards the police station. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the man sitting on a chair, crying moo.The only female police officer in the station was twisting a towel and handing it over: "Secretary An, wipe your face."

When Ma Tianmin came in, everyone around him greeted him.As I said earlier, there are two police stations at Beijing Railway Station, this one is for the railway, and Ma Tianmin is for the public security.He came from a brother unit. Although the brother unit came three times a day for nothing, and maybe brought two defenses when it caught up with the dinner, it was also a brother unit after all, which was different from our own. This is different, the "Secretary An" misunderstood - he thought it was the leader who came. I saw this "hu" stood up at once, knelt down at Ma Tianmin with a "plop", and kowtowed "dangdangdang", but what he said was vague, to the effect that the police comrades begged you, help me with Get it back, arrest brother-in-law and the others...

Ma Tianmin hurriedly helped him, taking a breath in his heart: Based on his experience, if this person cries, there are still problems to be discussed. The owner of the earthquake in the house. "What did he lose?" Ma Tianmin asked the policeman inside. The policewoman said softly, "He lost a tractor." "Ah?" Ma Tianmin looked towards the door subconsciously. There were everything thrown at the Beijing station, but this was the first time he heard such a thing as a tractor. What's the matter? It turned out that Secretary An was the secretary of a brigade in Boli County, Heilongjiang.The place was vast and sparsely populated at the time.Although Lao An is just a brigade secretary, the territory he manages is no smaller than a city in Japan, and he is also a figure who responds everywhere in the local area.The land in this place is very good. Later, an investigator who solved the case recalled: "I didn't know until I went there. No wonder Little Japan wanted the Northeast so much. It's so fertile. Everyone likes it. The Northeast The big steamed buns are so delicious and fragrant!" The crops in this place can be planted in whatever they grow, and one person can spread hundreds of acres of land. If the standards of the year were followed, even those who could not marry a wife could be classified as landlords.

It is because there is too much land, too good, and something goes wrong. Because although the land is good, there are not enough people, and the crops cannot be harvested. In the early 1980s, agriculture began to engage in contracting, and everyone was motivated to farm the land. After all the villagers gathered together, someone finally made a move: Let’s pool our money to buy a "Combine", and you can sleep as soon as it is turned on. , Woke up, turned around and went back to sleep.A day's work is done after two sleeps, and I don't need to take a nap when I go home at night and have fun with my wife. Someone asked: "Where do you have a wife?" Reply: "I directly regard 'Combine' as my wife." Look, to be able to spend the night with "Compaine" happily, don't all the Northeast people have the qualities of Zhao Benshan? Wait a minute, that person said, what is "Combine"? The farmer in the Northeast asked: "Do you know what Jiangzi is? Do you know what Zou Zhaogong is? Hehe, this time it's our turn to teach you how to speak. 'Compaine' means Combine... ..." Ok?Is this still a Northeast farmer in the 1980s?It seems that English was not generally taught in rural primary schools at that time. It’s really not bragging. Although few people understand Combinein on the Internet today, the farmers in Northeast China were familiar with it. Back then, Mr. Ye Yonglie wrote a well-known "Little Smart Roaming the Future". There is a plot in it: PHS saw a monster pulling a wide plowshare all the way in the field of Future City. Automatically filled with seedlings.Seeing this guy slowly go straight to the ridge, PHS was startled, and after the shouting was ineffective, he went up and pulled around for a while, and finally stopped this "dangerous" machine. PHS is of course wrong, this kind of monster is equipped with an autopilot (presumably GPS), and can turn by itself... The so-called "Combine" is a large-scale agricultural machine that can plow the land, transplant rice seedlings, sow seeds, spray medicine, and harvest. Except for the lack of GPS, everything is similar to this monster. It is a good tool for farmers in the Northeast. The original "Combine" in our country came from the former Soviet Union.Later, Hinton, an American red agricultural expert, went to China and promoted three major agricultural killers-"Combine", sprinkler irrigation and no-tillage method, which ranked first. What kind of image is this kind of thing promoted by the two superpowers? It sounds mysterious, but the structure of this thing is not complicated. A tractor can do sowing work with a planter, and harvest work with a harvester. It is similar to the Transformers popular in the toy market. To a certain extent, it can replace the manual labor of farmers.Some materials now only refer to "Combine" as "Combine Harvester", which seems to be a bit one-sided about its capabilities. One more thing, since it is so good, why is "Combine" only used so much in the Northeast? This is not surprising, although Combine is good, it also has disadvantages: first, it is rampant, so it is only suitable for large farms, and it is powerless when it comes to small plots or terraced fields; second, it It is necessary to reserve a passage in the field. For Chinese farmers who cherish the soil like gold, this is a distressing waste; third, it is a mechanized operation after all, which is not comparable to the traditional intensive cultivation of Chinese farmers, and it will reduce production a little. How did Lao Sa know this?It's very simple, Sa Niang was working in agricultural machinery back then!At that time, Saniang had just been transferred back to Beijing. She was in her thirties and was in the middle of her career. Her colleagues were similar.Although the "Ten Years of Catastrophe" made most people alienated from business, once they got into work, even Hinton, who was a friend, did not expect the abilities of these Chinese people.For example, the threshing machine brought by Han Ding, the core component is a steel roller covered with thorns. Old corn enters here, and the corn kernels on it are immediately caught by the sharp thorns on the steel roller. "The finished corn stalks are amazing, but the price is also unbearable.There is no production equipment for this kind of steel barbed roller in our country, so it seems that we have to import it from the United States.As a result, Sa Niang and the others got a black iron shaft and asked a young welding worker to spot weld it continuously. One point is a spike. After a while, they made something with American patented technology, and the cost was equal to a thousandth of the import. one.Mr. Han Ding held the iron roller and turned it three times, almost hitting himself on the head with the mace-like thing. However, other things can be made simple, but the most critical part of Combine - the tractor, can't. This thing can only be bought with a genuine brand. Speaking of now, if necessary, anyone who sells bean cakes can also run a tractor.In the commodity economy, it is only right and proper for everyone to do what makes money.But in 1981, tractors were definitely a commodity that was in short supply, and they couldn't be bought with money. At that time, if you wanted to buy a tractor, you had to approve a note from the Ministry of Machinery. The farmers were very supportive of the purchase of Combine, and expressed that they could pay for it.As a party member and cadre, Secretary An is the most trusted, responsible for finding ways to buy tractors.I can't help but praise that the party members and cadres in 1981 were still very prestigious. Secretary An, hardworking and fair to others, is well-respected in Boli, and he is also a capable person, but when he arrives in Mudanjiang, he has more energy than he wants.Going through the organizational procedures, isn't that the Year of the Monkey? For the cadres at that time, corruption was not a problem, but rigidity was a problem. The tractor was in the warehouse, and the approval procedures were not complete, so it just couldn't be driven. After running Mudanjiang and running Harbin, I got nothing.Where can I buy this tractor?Secretary an was worried.At this time, it may not be a good thing if you can really spend two money to lubricate it. If this person is at a loss, he will inevitably chatter when he sees everyone.On the train to Shenyang, Secretary An met a young man surnamed Qi.Hearing Secretary An's distress, the young man said don't worry, I know a brother surnamed Ge who has special skills, maybe he can help you solve it. "Brother, how can I thank you?" Secretary An was very happy. "Whether it will be successful or not is up for debate." The young man seemed quite sincere. When he arrived in Shenyang, the young man brought his friends.After chatting, the friend surnamed Ge said that there is a tractor, so go to Beijing directly. My brother-in-law works in the Ministry of Machinery in Beijing, so you can come with me. Later, the police who participated in solving the case said that Secretary An's biggest problem was that he met honest people for half his life... Can this be considered a problem? Lao Sa has encountered mostly honest people in his life. Comrades from the police said that there was still half a sentence, and at that time, there were only eight model plays back and forth, and there was no Internet. There are only eight model plays, and the characters in them all look like facial makeup. Poor Secretary An has spent half his life in Boli, and he doesn't know what a liar looks like in the world.Let’s put it aside for now, let alone being cheated, a foreign swindler who is a little bit indifferent comes to China, and if he can resist the temptation and not buy three abductions to take back, he will be considered determined.
