Li Xiangdong directly harvested wheat from forty mu of land!

The harvester was billowing black smoke, and everyone seemed to be injected with boundless energy as they methodically bagged, transported, and laid out the harvesters to dry in the threshing ground!

After many tedious tasks were simplified, people still felt a little lost. How could the wheat harvest be so easy?

...

Tonight, the liveliest place in Lijiapo has changed from the brigade headquarters to Li Xiangdong's house.

From inside the house to the yard, and then to the main road outside, it was packed with people.

Of course, the place with the most people was where the two harvesters were parked.

People aren't even eating dinner at home anymore!

Each person held a bowl and chopsticks, eating flatbread with pickled vegetable strips while chatting and drinking mung bean soup.

The villagers touched the big machine with great interest, recalling how it had been working. Their movements as they stroked the machine's exterior were gentle and extremely careful!

Good heavens!

One machine harvested dozens of acres of land in just a few hours!

There are two of them here!

Our land in Lijiapo can't withstand the harvesting of these two big machines. It's like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts—a piece of cake! It'll be harvested in no time.

Hahahaha!

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the occasional sound of adults scolding children could be heard: "Be careful! If you break it, I'll spank you!"

The most prominent among them are Li Ping and Li Jiabao!

All the children followed the two of them around. Li Jiabao, with his little belly sticking out and his head held high, put his hands on his hips and said, "Tomorrow I'll drive this one, and my second brother will drive that one. The two of us brothers will go harvest wheat together!"

The children's eyes were filled with envy, and they vied to please Li Jiabao, hoping that he would take them with him when he drove tomorrow.

Throttle thud, whoosh whoosh whoosh, how impressive!

Like an adult, Li Jiabao pretended to think for a long time before saying to his friends, "It depends on how you behave. I'll talk to my second brother tonight!"

Li Ping was surrounded by girls, all talking at once, "Can we drive a harvester too?"

Li Ping said, "Of course! Women hold up half the sky! What men can do, we can do too! What men can't do, we women can do too!"

She then went to ask her second brother for the key to the driver's cab so she could take her friends up for a ride and experience what it's like to drive a harvester!

Why experience it in advance?

Of course, they'll each have to own one when they grow up!

As a result, Li Ping and Li Jiabao couldn't squeeze in front of their second brother!

Li Xiangdong was surrounded by a group of adults!

"Xiangdong, where did you get these two harvesters from?" That's what my great-grandfather asked.

He simply couldn't believe that the usually silly and playful kid could drive back two harvesters all by himself!

It's like seeing a seven or eight-year-old child suddenly find two aircraft carriers sailing back – the same kind of shock we feel.

"Yeah, tell me! How can you operate two machines by yourself? Do you have a god helping you?" someone asked.

"Don't talk nonsense! What gods or immortals!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an older person interrupted him, saying, "These days, you're not allowed to talk about demons, monsters, gods, or bodhisattvas! Even if you believe, you should believe in secret. How can you say it out loud like this!"

Seeing everyone's curious gazes, Li Xiangdong could only pick and choose what he could say.

After hearing this, the villagers suddenly realized what was going on, and then they all praised Li Xiangdong for being courageous, knowledgeable, and cultured!

How could someone be so bold? Hearing a rumor, he dared to travel alone to Dongfang City, four or five hundred miles away! And he actually managed to drive back two harvesters!

Looking back at her own silly, snotty-nosed brat, she was instantly furious. She pulled out her hand and slapped the boy, who was listening intently to Li Xiangdong's words, across the head!

What a useless snack!

The children who were chosen were unhappy. "You're over thirty, have you ever been to Dongfang City?"

“Dad, you’re forty-five this year, and you’re even afraid to go to the commune’s supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce, worried that the salesperson will jinx you! And you’re criticizing me? I’m just like you from the family!”

The man's face flushed red after his son exposed him, and he slapped him with the sole of his shoe. "You really don't respect your father! Why do you have to blurt out all this nonsense!"

Everyone burst into laughter and tried to persuade him, saying, "Don't even mention your son, look at our whole village, the whole commune, how many children are like Xiangdong?"

He truly lives up to his reputation as the captain's son; the captain has done an excellent job of educating him!

Some people privately wondered if the ancestral graves of the brigade leader's family had better feng shui!

Why are my own children so useless? When we visit our ancestors' graves later, I must have a good talk with them!

Ancestors underground: ...Achoo!

However, with more people, there are naturally more thoughts and ideas.

Just as the villagers were unanimously praising Li Xiangdong, some observant people were thinking to themselves, "If a bicycle costs 160 yuan, how much would such a big thing cost? Probably too much!"

Where did Li Xiangdong, a mere child, get the money?

Besides his father Li Jin, who else could give it to him?

But Li Jin is the captain of our brigade! This money couldn't possibly be his own, could it?

Sigh, they took the brigade's money, bought the machines, and claimed them as their own. What can we, an ordinary citizen, say?

Of course, only a very small minority of people can think this way!

After all, anyone with a clear head knows that Li Jiapo's assets are not much at all!
