Chapter 138 The Tractor Broke Down

“Driving a tractor is not much different from using oxen for plowing. Once you master the ‘skills,’ you can make it act according to your wishes.”

Cen Yan walked to the front of the car, waved to the girls, and asked them to gather around her.

"First, we need to understand the body of the tractor, that is, its overall structure. The structure of a tractor is mainly divided into three parts. The first is the engine, which is located here. It can be said to be the heart of the tractor and the power source of the entire tractor."

"The second is the chassis, which is the body, frame and legs of the tractor, the body and tracks, responsible for functions such as walking, steering, and braking. The parts that make it move and stop are all on this."

"The third is the working device..."

Cen Yan gave the girls a brief introduction to the structure of the tractor, but since it was a "crash course," too much theoretical knowledge would be beyond the students' comprehension.

"Next, we'll begin the most important lesson: how to start the tractor. Comrades, look at this iron crank handle in my hand. It's like the key to the tractor. Put it in the hole and crank it hard! See! Like this, the tractor starts."

As Cen Yan concisely demonstrated to them how to start and operate the tractor, the girls' faces were already filled with barely suppressed excitement.

He wished he could rush up right now, snatch the tractor from Cen Yan's hands, and try out how the tractor worked for himself.

Cen Yan clapped her hands to calm everyone down.

“I don’t have much time to teach and answer questions, so for the next course, I will personally lead you around twice, with two students each time. If you have any questions, you can ask them on the bus.”

"Then we'll take turns, I'll sit next to you and you can drive the tractor to get familiar with it. You can gradually become proficient at it during the autumn and summer harvests."

"Now I'm going to help transport grain. Who wants to be among the first to board the truck and learn?"

"Me!" Meng Xiaolian, who couldn't contain herself any longer, raised her hand. "Master, I want to be the first to learn!"

“Me too, Master. Aren’t there two people going on this trip? Can it be just me and Xiaolian?” another girl said.

Cen Yan nodded and had them sit on either side of her, then began to explain to them in detail how to operate the tractor and how to control its direction.

Meng Xiaolian and Xiang Caiyun, who were next to her, studied very diligently, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.

The other girls who took turns getting on the truck and transporting grain with Cen Yan did the same.

Overall, Cen Yan was very satisfied with this group of students. They didn't have any strange problems, were focused on learning the craft, and did whatever she said.

very good!

"Next, we will begin the second phase of the tutorial. I will sit here and guide you. You will be responsible for driving the tractor to transport grain along the field ridges. Xiaolian, you were the first to learn just now, and now you will be the first to drive the tractor."

After saying that, Cen Yan moved aside, making room for Meng Xiaolian.

Meng Xiaolian excitedly sat on the tractor and, following Cen Yan's instructions, started the engine, climbed on, held the steering wheel with both hands, and carefully drove it towards the ridge of the field.

Suddenly! The tractor screeched to a halt halfway down the road, unable to move!

No matter how hard Meng Xiaolian tried, she couldn't get the tractor to move forward. Her face turned deathly pale. "Master, Master, I... I think I've broken the tractor..."

Before Cen Yan could even react to Meng Xiaolian's words, Zhang Wei jumped out!

"Fine! Cen Yan, you're just looking for trouble! You've damaged the tractor that belongs to the collective assets!"

"This tractor is supposed to be returned to the commune, but it's broken now. How are you going to compensate us?"

"I told you, don't take on a job you're not qualified for. Now look what's happened, the tractor broke down, delaying the production team's harvest. You, Cen Yan, deserve to die!"
