Chapter 213 Cheer Up

Bai Zhenfei was puzzled and confused.

Zhu Changsheng, standing by, began to explain, "It's not a good deal if you're chasing after it. You understand, right?"

"Besides, we haven't even dealt with the village chief yet, so we should save the gas money first."

Su Nanzhi nodded on the side.

There is some truth in the saying that chasing after someone is not a good deal.

Now you are actively giving it to the people in Lingshui Village to try out. While they are using it, they may still think you are playing tricks.

And of course, it is best to provide timely assistance when a blizzard is about to freeze people to death.

Bai Zhenfei only had a vague understanding of what was going on, but he knew he had to listen to Su Nanzhi, so he just stayed aside and didn't dare to speak again.

As the sun set, it quickly became dark.

In order to save time, the villagers endured hunger and wanted to do more work before it got completely dark.

But soon the tense atmosphere was broken by a scream.

"My feet."

The sound instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the farmland.

"Ouch, Lei San's toes are bleeding."

"It gets dark so quickly that I can't see the ground clearly."

"How can we match the speed of the tractor? We are definitely going to lose this year."

Just like a broken hole, as soon as these discouraging words came out, everyone's morale immediately dropped.

Although they worked diligently all afternoon, when they opened their eyes the next day at daybreak, there was still unturned land waiting for them.

And this kind of days lasted for more than half a month.

They just feel that there is no hope in life.

"We are doomed to fail."

"I don't want to work anymore. I'm too tired."

"I want to rest. I'm hungry."

…

If only one person said this, Lei Dashui could still dissuade him, but now that so many people said this, Lei Dashui couldn't say anything.

He was tired too, but as the village chief he couldn't say such things.

Su Nanzhi did not leave in the afternoon. She also went to work in the fields. While working, she became a friend of the women in Lingshui Village with her good mouth.

The accident happened suddenly, and she immediately turned her attention to Lei Dashui who was standing not far from her.

With her good eyesight, she immediately noticed the frustration on Lei Dashui's face.

The snowstorm finally arrived, and her tractor was ready to go.

Everyone talked about Sanqiang's pain, the injuries he had suffered over the years, and their own grievances. Finally, when their emotions got the better of them, they said to Lei Dashui, "Village Chief, take a day off. We really can't take it anymore."

Lei Dashui felt a little bitter when he saw everyone's expressions, which were so tired that they were almost numb.

But he still shook his head.

"If we rest on the first day, we'll have to rest on the second. If we don't complete the three-harvest task, what will happen next year if the commune doesn't give us enough seeds and pesticides? And the village's harvest will be affected next year, and then going hungry will be even more unbearable."

Everyone knew that what Lei Dashui said was not unreasonable, but at the moment no one wanted to listen to reason and just wanted to solve the endless farm work.

"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year. If I keep doing this, I don't think I'll survive for many more days."

"Me too. I'm so tired. I might as well die."

…

When Lei Dashui heard what everyone said, he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything.

At this moment, a low, hoarse male voice sounded.

"Don't worry, everyone. If you don't mind, we can lend you our tractor."

Su Nanzhi's voice was not loud, but after she finished speaking, the only sounds left in the originally noisy farmland were the sound of wind and insects.

"Really?"

Someone in the crowd quickly reacted, but from the sound of his voice, one could tell he looked shocked.

Su Nanzhi nodded in affirmation at first, but when she realized that it was dark and many people couldn't see clearly, she spoke immediately.

"Of course, although I'm not from Lingshui Village, my aunt is from Lingshui Village, so I can be considered half a Lingshui Villager. How could I not help Lingshui Village when it's in trouble?"

Although her voice was sincere, what she said made sense.

But everyone still found it a little unbelievable.

Tractors are rare, so how could Su Nanzhi lend them to her just like that? And was this tractor from a legitimate source?

All sorts of questions flashed through the villagers' minds...

The desire for a tractor to make the work easier overcame all of this.

"We can't afford a tractor driver, and we don't have any gas coupons."

Lei Dashui suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

A smile flashed in Su Nanzhi's eyes. The big fish was finally caught.

"Since we have helped everyone, the tractor driver should also help everyone for free."

She paused slightly, looked at Lei Dashui and said, "As for the gasoline, we only have a small bucket of oil, and the tractor can only work for one or two hours."

"We can use this gasoline first. If you still want to borrow our tractor, you will need to find the oil yourself."

When everyone heard that Su Nanzhi was really willing to lend them the tractor, they were all happy.

As for what Su Nanzhi said about the tractor having only one or two hours of oil left, they didn't care.

After all, if you can get a good deal, you'd be a fool not to take advantage of it. Even if it's just for an hour or two, it's not bad.

Lei Dashui was not in a good mood when he heard Su Nanzhi's words, and his brows were slightly frowned.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frug

After everyone saw that a tractor could easily accomplish what they had been working for an hour, would they really still use manpower?

After all, when the agricultural machinery station sent tractors to the village a few years ago, everyone saw the tractors' working efficiency, and even today, many years later, they still talk about it from time to time.

Su Nanzhi gave Lei Dashui a bright smile.

Old ginger is always spicy, and she has lived two lives, isn't she a super old ginger?

Bai Zhenfei had been feeling frustrated for the entire afternoon, and finally it was his turn to take action. He immediately drove the tractor to the edge of the field.

An hour later, Bai Zhenfei dismantled the tractor's bed, replaced the front wheels with triangular track wheels, and pulled a wooden board up to the back to level the mud raised by the wheels.

As the roar of the tractor sounded, everyone who had been peeking stopped what they were doing and looked at the tractor in unison.

Bai Zhenfei drove the tractor into the mud, and the tractor instantly sank into the ground. He immediately increased the gear, and then the wheels of the tractor began to turn in the mud, splashing mud and water, splashing all over the villagers nearby.

But the villagers were not angry and couldn't help cheering.

"We have tractors in our village now too."

"The tractor is like an ox. It can finish a row in an acre of land in no time."

When Bai Zhenfei heard this, he didn't care that his body was splashed with mud, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Although everyone was very tired, with the addition of the tractor, everyone seemed to be injected with energy, and began to sing songs to cheer themselves up under the moonlight.
