"That's because Zhong Zhiqing was willing to give us the opportunity; this is a big deal—teaching us a trade!"

"Your aunt isn't good at saying nice things, but your aunt and uncle understand everything. Just watch how our family behaves from now on!"

Since they'd already gone this far, it would seem rather hypocritical for Zhong Wanwan to remain polite. So, she didn't dwell on the topic and smiled, saying:

"Aunt Wei, Aunt Zheng, you work so fast! I saw this whole side of the field was cleared this morning!"

When it comes to work, Aunt Wei has a lot to say. None of her four children are unskilled at housework!

Aunt Wei said cheerfully:

"With so many people here, this job can be done quickly. We can finish the roof and garden for you this morning!"

Zhong Wanwan rolled up her sleeves, ready to join in, but Aunt Wei and Aunt Zheng stopped her in unison:

"We don't need you. The four of us are enough. You go and continue repairing the tractor. You can rest assured that we can handle this!"

Since Aunt Wei and Aunt Zheng were speaking from the heart, Zhong Wanwan couldn't say anything more.

But in return for their kindness, we can't just offer empty words!

Zhong Wanwan glanced at Wei Maisui and Zheng Nannan, and made a judgment in her mind. She discussed it with her two aunts:

"Aunt Wei, Aunt Zheng, I'm a bit busy repairing the tractor and I can't manage on my own. Could I borrow two of you?"

"I see that Mai Sui and Nan Nan are working so efficiently, I'd like them to help me out!"

With that one word, the two aunties understood perfectly. They were so busy that they immediately started teaching their daughter!

Aunt Wei quickly said:

"Why not? Let them learn from you. Your Aunt Zheng and I will sow some cabbage and spinach seeds and plant a few rows of scallions. The two of them can handle this kind of work with ease!"

It's already the end of September. In Heilongjiang Province, other vegetables are no longer available this month, only spinach and cabbage are still edible.

Aunt Zheng was also very happy and said:

"Let them go with you. They may not be good at anything else, but they can handle handing you a tool!"

"We eat lunch at my aunt's house. She kills the chicken and puts it in the pot before she comes in the morning. The old chicken tastes so good if you stew it for a while!"

This is a truly heartfelt invitation to dinner; the person didn't even show up, but the chicken was already killed and cooked.

Since they've already said that, it would be really impolite to refuse, so Zhong Wanwan nodded and said:

"Thank you so much, Auntie! We're so lucky to have such a delicious lunch!"

Aunt Zheng was even happier when she saw that Zhong Wanwan had agreed. If she didn't still have work to do, she would have loved to go back and watch over the pot of chicken right now.

After talking to the two aunts, Zhong Wanwan didn't linger any longer. She led her two newly accepted apprentices back to continue the repairs!

Because she also wanted to teach her apprentices, Zhong Wanwan slowed down the entire inspection process, and she explained each item in detail.

The old-fashioned tractor wasn't actually that difficult to construct, but Zhong Wanwan checked and explained it again and again.

So when it was time for lunch, Zheng Nannan and Wei Maisui, although they were still far from being able to repair the tractor, had already memorized about half of the parts!

During lunch, Accountant Zheng secretly pulled Zheng Nannan aside and asked:

"Nannan, how was your morning? Did you manage to sneak a peek at the educated youth repairing the tractor at one o'clock?"

These days, when a master teaches an apprentice, it's truly a matter of working for the master for a year or two, and if the master allows you to even glance at him once or twice, that's considered good.

So Accountant Zheng didn't have high aspirations. As long as Zheng Nannan could sneak a peek every now and then and learn for 3-5 years, wouldn't she have learned quite a bit of the skills?

After spending the morning with Zhong Wanwan, Zheng Nannan felt nothing but admiration and trust for her mentor. She was completely captivated by Zhong Wanwan's personal charm and was now a devoted fan of her mentor.
