Zhong Wanwan knew the cylinder pressure was too high. She calmly walked to Xia Ning's side and whispered a reminder:
"Don't rush, listen to me. Do you know where the engine is?"
Xia Ning nodded gently. Zhong Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xia Ning recognized the engine; that made things much easier to explain!
Zhong Wanwan continued:
"There's a small handle on the tractor's engine called the pressure relief handle. You need to open the pressure relief handle first, otherwise the pressure will be too high and you won't be able to turn it at all."
"After you start cranking it, go and turn off the pressure relief handle first, otherwise it won't start!"
"Don't rush after you get on the bus. Shift to a low gear, hold the handrail firmly, and maintain your balance!"
Xia Ning knew there was no turning back now. She took a deep breath and followed Zhong Wanwan's instructions step by step.
Xia Ning opened the decompression handle, and sure enough, it was much easier to crank it. He closed the decompression handle, shifted to a low gear, pressed the clutch, and gripped the handlebars firmly. Sure enough, the tractor slowly moved forward.
After driving a short distance, Xia Ning shifted to neutral, gently applied the brakes, and the tractor came to a stop.
Seeing Xia Ning get off the tractor, Zhong Wanwan stepped forward and flipped the pressure relief valve, forcing the tractor to shut down.
Their coordination was perfect, and the two exchanged a smile.
Bai Yueyao's face turned green at this moment. Xia Ning actually drove the tractor away. When did she learn to drive a tractor?
Bai Yueyao pointed at Xia Ning and blurted out:
"How do you know how to drive a tractor? Did you steal one too?!"
Xia Ning countered with a question:
"So you're admitting that you stole the tractor and broke it? You were just deliberately framing Zhong Zhiqing to shift the blame for the tractor's breakdown?"
Bai Yueyao realized she had misspoke and could no longer cling to Zhong Wanwan.
"But since Xia Ning has bumped into us, dragging her along is the same thing. If she's not doing well, nobody else will either," Bai Yueyao shouted.
"They were all stealing the tractor; you were just lucky that someone helped you turn it off."
"Since stealing a tractor should be punished, then let's all be punished together!"
Many villagers were furious when they heard Bai Yueyao's words. The tractors on their farm were handled with great care by the tractor drivers.
As it turned out, this group of educated youths were incredibly audacious; one by one, they secretly drove the tractor. What were they planning to do?
The villagers voiced their dissatisfaction to Director Wei, saying:
"Director Wei, this must be severely punished! We can't let this matter of stealing a tractor go unpunished!"
"Whether the tractor was damaged or not, it's wrong to drive it without permission. What if people follow suit and do the same if we don't stop them?"
"Exactly. If we don't care, I'll have my son sneak over at night to open it. Why should only educated youth be allowed to sneak over? What's wrong with us?"
...
When Xia Ning stepped forward to help, she was mentally prepared for Bai Yueyao to seize on her weakness.
Anyway, she didn't damage the tractor, so even if she gets punished, it won't be too serious.
Zhong Zhiqing taught her how to use a tractor, which was also at a risk. She was willing to be punished for helping Zhong Zhiqing, and she had no complaints!
Xia Ning is the kind of person who is completely open and honest with those she cares about.
Otherwise, Zhong Wanwan wouldn't have helped Xia Ning so much; she valued Xia Ning's loyalty to his friends.
However, whether Bai Yueyao has the ability to drag Zhong Wanwan's valued friend into the mess is another matter!
