But no matter how much he twisted, the cart was almost upright, but the wood just wouldn't budge.

As darkness fell, Wang Yuanjun grew anxious, sweating profusely despite the cold weather.

Wang Yuanjun was a bit confused. He got out of the car and circled the wood several times, but couldn't find the problem.

It was dark, and the fence was hidden by several pieces of wood, so Wang Yuanjun didn't notice it at all.

After turning around several times without finding the problem, he tried twisting the handle several more times, but it still wouldn't budge.

"Is this even going to work? It's just a few pieces of wood, why are you taking so long?"

Sheng Xiping, who was sitting on a piece of wood quite far away smoking, finally couldn't hold back after finishing his second cigarette and shouted at Wang Yuanjun.

"If you can't do it, just come down and I'll give it a try."

Wang Yuanjun was truly at his wit's end and had no choice but to hand the tractor over to Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping entered the driver's seat, first pretending to rummage around for a bit, then reversed the car a few meters, loosened the bag strap, and got out to check.

Taking advantage of Wang Yuanjun's inattention, Sheng Xiping loosened the lock straps tied to the tree fence and then returned to the car to re-lock them.

The timber was loaded onto the truck safely. Sheng Xiping ignored Wang Yuanjun and simply left him on the mountain, then drove the truck down the mountain with the timber.

The usually arrogant Master Wang walked back along the tractor track with his head down and a droopy corner. It took him a lot of effort, but he finally made it back to his post.

When he got back, everyone in the cafeteria had already finished eating, and a group of people were chatting and joking around.

Wang Yuanjun entered the canteen dejectedly and went to the food serving window. "Master Li, is there anything else to eat?"

"Hey, it's so late, why are you only coming to eat now? There's not much food left." Chef Li, who manages the canteen, asked curiously.

"Oh, well, something came up on the mountain and I was delayed, so I just came down," Wang Yuanjun said awkwardly, stammering.

"Master Li, do you have anything else? Could you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten yet, and I'm tired and hungry."

Wang Yuanjun walked down the mountain, a distance of seven or eight li. How could he not be hungry?

"Hey? Master Wang, what caused your delay? Just now at the loading yard, I saw Xiping driving the tractor back."

"Master Wang, where have you been? I heard you couldn't even manage to winch the timber properly, you couldn't keep up with your assistant!"

Meanwhile, Pan Fusheng, Zhang Zhijun, and a few others working in the loading yard deliberately shouted loudly.

"Huh? Really? Isn't Master Wang supposed to be a very skilled driver?"

When he first arrived, he looked down on the tractor drivers at our forest farm. "How come he can't even wind up a log?" "Oh dear, you'd better learn from him."

Meanwhile, Guo Yongping and the others joined in the commotion.

Where there are people, there is a world of its own. Now the forest farm is divided into two factions: the locals and those transferred from elsewhere.

It takes time for two groups of people to integrate when they work together, but the people transferred from outside are arrogant and look down on everyone.

The locals were all holding their breath, and seeing Wang Yuanjun get his comeuppance was a rare treat, so they were all cheering him on.

Wang Yuanjun's face flushed red and then turned pale; if there were a hole in the ground right now, he would definitely crawl into it.

"Hey, Mr. Li, could you please get me something to eat?"

Wang Yuanjun didn't want to chat with Pan Fusheng and Guo Yongping, so he could only turn to the head chef and ask him to make him something to eat.

"I happen to have some dried noodles, so I'll cook you a bowl." Master Li is in charge of the kitchen, and his main task is to ensure that the workers have food.

Wang Yuanjun hasn't eaten yet, so we have to make him something; he can't go hungry.

And so, Master Li cooked a bowl of noodles for Wang Yuanjun.

It's evening, and there's not much left in the cafeteria kitchen, so they can only stir-fry some scallions and oil.

Even so, Wang Yuanjun ate with relish, slurping down a large bowl of noodles before hurriedly putting on his hat and returning to his dormitory.

As soon as he left, laughter erupted in the cafeteria.

"Xiping, it has to be you. You've got him one after another." Chen Weiguo gave Sheng Xiping a thumbs up and laughed.

"Tch, his skills are nothing to brag about, yet he's always making a fuss and looking down on everyone else."

"Let's teach him a lesson and see if he behaves himself then!" Wang Jianshe chimed in from the side.

Sheng Xiping just smiled and didn't say anything.

Today I was just playing a little joke on Wang Yuanjun to tease him, so he wouldn't act so arrogantly.

People should be more humble and not be so arrogant all the time; it doesn't do them any good.

From then on, Wang Yuanjun no longer dared to be so arrogant when he saw Sheng Xiping. He could even discuss any problems with the tractor with Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping is indeed skilled. Several times when the tractor broke down, Wang Yuanjun couldn't find the problem, but Sheng Xiping found the problem and fixed it.

As time went on, everyone on the mountain knew that the tractor driver in the Fifth Work Team was not as capable as the assistant.

Tractor-driven timber collection is a crucial link in the entire timber production process. "Tractors drive up to cut down trees, tractors drive down to load them onto trucks, and tractors drive in the middle to clear the forest."

Tractor drivers are highly sought-after in the entire timber production process. They are given priority when it comes to selecting model workers or advanced producers, and they are also potential candidates for foreman.

Of course, this only applies to truly experienced tractor drivers; those half-baked drivers with poor skills are just talking nonsense.

If a tractor assistant works with an experienced tractor driver, he might not see a half-shaft or turbine all winter.

If you're going to work with someone inexperienced, then go ahead and do it: lift the rear axle, lift the brake clutch, correct the large and small balance shafts, replace the half shafts, replace the turbine, rivet the drive gear rings, and so on.
