The next day, a red shelling machine arrived in the village, looking quite festive.

Everyone in the village came to watch the fun. With this shelling machine, things became much more convenient.

It only takes one or two hours to peel all the peanuts in the village.

If it is done manually, it will take at least ten days to half a month.

Everyone looking at the shelling machine found it amazing. How could such a large machine remove the peanut shells so accurately?

Li Mingqing was familiar with the driver, it was still Zhao Changgui.

Zhao Changgui saw him and said kindly, "I've been to several villages today. This shelling machine is really fast."

"You still have multiple jobs. You just came to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver goods yesterday."

"Who can resist money? I happen to have some free time and can make money, so I'm more than happy to come. Besides, this job isn't tiring at all. I just need to drive to various villages. Driving is my livelihood, I can do it with my eyes closed."

"Come home and have some tea."

"You're right, I'm really thirsty. Wait for me to fix this."

After he finished speaking, he went to find the village chief.

"Village Chief, where do you shell your peanuts? This is the entrance for peanuts, this is the exit for the peanut kernels, and this is the exit for the peanut shells."

"Comrade, could you please drive the car in?"

Zhao Changgui got in the car immediately, and the village chief led the way to the village office.

This way you don't have to go through the trouble of carrying bags of peanuts outside.

All the laborers in the village came.

Zhao Changgui explained the precautions and dangerous operations.

The shelling machine was throttled to the maximum, and the rumbling sound spread throughout the village.

Although many children in the village were curious, they did not go forward due to the loud noise, but huddled under the eaves to watch the fun.

There was really a lot of dust flying everywhere.

Li Mingqing immediately closed the windows and doors when he saw the dust blowing towards his doorstep.

What Zhao Hongbin said is absolutely right. After the shells are removed, a layer of water will accumulate on the ground.

Zhao Changgui was watching there the whole time to make sure no one was stupid enough to put their hand in. This thing was no joke.

Fortunately, no one did anything unreasonable.

The shelling machine kept on running for an hour and a half before it stopped.

The village chief and villagers were extremely surprised when they saw the peanuts that had been beaten.

Zhao Changgui said, "Pack the peanuts and shells, and don't touch anything else."

After he said that, he went to Li Mingqing to ask for some water.

"Finally it's done. My ears are almost deafened from all this noise all day."

"Come, have a cup of tea."

Li Mingqing poured him a cup of tea and added some spiritual spring water to relieve his fatigue.

After drinking it, Zhao Changgui felt refreshed and full of energy.

"If I had known your water was so delicious, I would have come here long ago."

"Since you like it, come here often."

He looked around at the neatly-knit courtyard and said, "I see your life in the village is much more leisurely than in the city. It's spacious and comfortable, and you can go out and visit friends."

"I don't know about others, but I think living in the village is pretty good."

"Everyone basically grew up in the village with nothing, but they were so tired of poverty that they ran away to the city and didn't go back. It's rare that you're willing to return to the village even though you work in such a good place like the supply and marketing cooperative."

Some people rent a house or live in the crowded tube-shaped building of their workplace as soon as they get a job in a town or county.

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "I feel comfortable living in the village."

"It's really comfortable. Let's stop talking. We can talk later when we have time. I think the peanuts are almost packed. I still have to go to the next village."

"You've had a tiring day."

"It's okay. I'm not really tired, but it's troublesome."

Li Mingqing handed him two green apples, which looked very crisp.

"Brother Zhao, we've known each other for such a long time, so don't be polite. There's still some at home, take it quickly."

"Okay, then I won't be polite, but one is enough."

He finally just took an apple and ate it while driving.

Li Mingqing followed him over to see how many bags of peanuts he had picked.

You don’t know until you go, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Zhou Jingli, who didn't know what he was doing, actually climbed onto the car and stepped on the accelerator.

Why doesn't he stay at the educated youth center and come here to show off his abilities?

Li Goudan, who was standing by, was also shocked when he saw him start the car.

Li Goudan didn't achieve success until he actually dared to drive.

The village chief and the team leader didn't notice it at all and were grinning foolishly at the bags of peanuts.

It wasn't until a rumbling sound was heard that everyone noticed.

The village chief quickly looked at the starter at his feet, but it was gone!

Zhou Jingli sat in the car and shouted to Li Goudan outside, "Isn't it just driving? If Li Mingqing can do it, I can do it too. So, are you convinced?"

"Come down quickly, the village chief is here."

"I'm much better than Li Mingqing. Look at me driving around the village."

Li Goudan regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he provoke Zhou Jingli when he had nothing to do? Now he was in trouble again.

The village chief shouted sternly, "Zhou Zhiqing, come down quickly!"

Zhou Jingli doesn't know how to drive, and the fact that he was able to start the car was pure luck, but he became arrogant and thought he had talent.

Li Mingqing, a peasant who had only seen a few cars, could drive one.

He is an educated youth, how could he lose to Li Mingqing.

Zhao Changgui was almost scared to death. If such a heavy thing hit someone, it would be the end of him.

"What's wrong with you? Come down quickly."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

"Come down quickly! If someone dies, you can't afford the responsibility."

Zhou Jingli was furious when he heard this and put his hands on the steering wheel to drive.

Li Mingqing took a quick step forward and injected several needles into his forehead.

He just felt that his arm was not his own and he couldn't lift it no matter how hard he tried.

The people around him were amazed at his smooth operation and were dumbfounded.

He dragged Zhou Jingli out of the car and threw him on the ground.

Then he took the silver needle out of his body.

Zhou Jingli looked at Li Mingqing in horror, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

"Zhou Jingli, you've lost your mind! How dare you act recklessly with so many fellow villagers here? If something really happens, how will you be held responsible?"

Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the matter.

If they had really injured or killed someone, their lives would have been hanging by a thread.

Li Goudan huddled there quietly, preparing to leave in stealth.

Zhou Jingli said, "Li Goudan instigated me to do this. I was a little impulsive."

"Zhou Zhiqing, I have no grudge against you, either recently or in the past. Don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask you to drive. You secretly stole the starter next to the village chief. What does it have to do with me?"

"I originally came here to watch the fun, but you started to sow discord in front of me, and I was provoked by you."

These two grown men are even more petty than these old women.

There's something missing in the brains of these two people.

Li Mingqing rolled his eyes several times without any hesitation, he was really an unwitting victim.
