"Comrade, hello, do you have any tickets to Jianghai County?" Zhao Guoyang walked to the ticket desk and asked loudly.

Seeing the tall and handsome Zhao Guoyang standing in front of him, the girl at the ticket desk lit up.

She pursed her lips and said, "Jianghai County is right? Yes, it's a coincidence that the train will be set off in ten minutes."

Zhao Guoyang paid the money, thanked the girl at the ticket window, and then rushed to the ticket gate.

"Well, the ticket is 8:30 in the morning, yes, go up." The aunt with a red armband at the ticket gate glanced at Zhao Guoyang's ticket and said lazily.

After leaving the ticket gate, a dilapidated minibus lies in front of Zhao Guoyang. In these days, transportation between county-level cities has become like this.

After getting on the bus in a hurry, Zhao Guoyang found that there were four or five empty seats. He picked up someone close to the window and sat down, then looked at the people busy picking up and dropping off the passengers.

A "clang" sound attracted Zhao Guoyang's attention. He followed the sound and looked at the car door. He saw a middle-aged man in Zhongshan suit standing tall near the car door, saying something to the driver with a embarrassed look on his face.

Although the middle-aged man's Zhongshan suit was a little white, he was very neatly tidy, and there was a pen on his chest bag. He looked like an intellectual at first glance. Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

After listening carefully, Zhao Guoyang quickly learned the reason why this man was stopped.

It turned out that the middle-aged man was named Hu Ping, and he was the deputy president of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative of Jiangyu Town, Jianghai County.

Something went wrong with a batch of hoes purchased by their supply and marketing cooperative in Ninghai City. Yesterday, he brought these hoes to the manufacturer to deal with them.

As a result, Hu Ping came to Ninghai City and found that the original manufacturer had gone bankrupt and the factory was empty.

In desperation, Hu Ping had to take a bus back to the supply and marketing cooperative early this morning.

However, after Hu Ping bought the ticket, the driver said that he would not let him carry the hoe into the car.

The reason is very simple. His car is going to attract customers along the way. If dozens of hoes take up space in the car, it would be a waste of customers.

"Comrade, why don't I add another ticket and ask me to bring these hoes into the car, okay?" Hu Ping said with a pleading face.

"What can you pay for if you add a ticket?" the driver said disdainfully.

"You don't even look at the space in my car. Even if you have two seats, can you put so many hoes?"

Seeing the situation stalemate, Zhao Guoyang stood up and said, "Driver, do you think this will work? Let this comrade add the ticket and sit in the last row with him. In this way, his hoe can be put down and it will not occupy too much space?"

"This..." The driver may have been annoyed by the middle-aged man. After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, he nodded casually.

"That's fine, then that's it. You can add a ticket and let the two of you sit in the four seats in the back."

After hearing the driver's words, Hu Ping nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'm in trouble. I'll make up for the tickets..."

After Hu Ping finished the ticket, Zhao Guoyang helped him move more than a dozen hoes to the last row of the minibus and put them on the ground.

After doing all this, the middle-aged man gratefully said a lot of words of gratitude to Zhao Guoyang and briefly introduced himself.

I heard that Hu Ping was the vice president of Jiangyu Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and Zhao Guoyang felt a little moved.

Jiangyu Town is one of the relatively wealthy towns in Jianghai County. Its supply and marketing cooperative is one of the three branches directly under the supply and marketing cooperative in Jianghai County and has its own purchasing rights.

In this era when many materials are still in short supply, having the right to purchase means that you can have limits on food coupons and various types of coupons.

For example, when purchasing tickets for bicycles, TVs and other things, the supply and marketing cooperatives have quotas, which is an incredible power for ordinary people today.

After Zhao Guoyang was reborn, he had many ideals and ambitions to realize, but the most realistic and most needed right now is undoubtedly to make yourself and your relatives live a better life.

So for him, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to get to know the vice president of the supply and marketing cooperative.

With Zhao Guoyang's intentional friendship, the two soon became familiar with each other.

When Zhao Guoyang just helped Hu Ping move those hoes, he had already discovered the roll of these hoes.

At this moment, he pretended to be unknown and asked: "Brother Hu, why are you running around with so many hoes? It's both laborious and troublesome..."

Hu Ping sighed and said, "Oh, Brother Zhao, you don't know anything. These hoes were purchased by our supply and marketing cooperative from Ninghai Haifeng Agricultural Tools Machinery Factory for more than 100 yuan."

"Who knew that less than a month after buying them, these hoes had cracks and were completely useless. I called them, but I couldn't contact them. I could only go to find them myself. Who knows..."

"Is this agricultural tools machinery factory closed down?" Zhao Guoyang asked tentatively.

"Yes, Brother Zhao, you guessed it right!" Hu Ping sighed.

"I took these hoes to Haifeng Farm Tool Machinery Factory yesterday and found that the door of the factory was locked and there was no one inside."

"Hey, our Ninghai Small Machinery Factory has closed a lot in the past two years. I have heard of this Haifeng Agricultural Tool Machinery Factory. It is indeed closed down not long ago. Brother Hu, if you want to find them, you may not be able to find them." Zhao Guoyang said in a realistic manner.

"Who said no? Unfortunately, so many hoes bought by our supply and marketing cooperative are ruined like this." Hu Ping said in anger.

"Brother, you don't know. What I brought this time was only a small part of the procurement of the supply and marketing cooperative. There were hundreds of hoes in the cooperative that had similar problems. I returned without success this time, but how should I explain to those members..."

Listening to Hu Ping's angry and frustrated words, Zhao Guoyang's eyes turned and he smiled and said, "Brother Hu, I'm really a mechanical processing person. If you don't mind, let me take a good look. Maybe I can find a way to repair you."

"Ah? I didn't see that, brother, are you an expert in machining?" Hu Ping widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Guoyang with an incredible expression.

Zhao Guoyang said modestly: "Experts can't say it, but hoes are not considered high-end and sophisticated. The principle is very simple. I think I'm still sure."

"What are you waiting for? Brother, please help me see!" Hu Ping said impatiently.

Zhao Guoyang nodded, picked up a hoe and looked through it carefully, and he already knew it in his heart.

These hoes obviously had problems during the heat treatment at the top. During quenching, the internal stress was too high, causing the strength to decrease.

If you want to solve the problem, just reheat it, which is not a big trouble that is difficult to solve.

As for several hoes with severe cracks, in Zhao Guoyang's opinion, they may need to be repaired with brazing, which is a little troublesome, but it is better than buying a new one.
