Chapter 5 On the way back to the village, the farm tractor broke down (2/2)



Zhong Wanwan was worried about what her three siblings would do during the busy farming season!

Now look, the solution is right here, and the female lead even offered it to us willingly!

Repairing tractors is a piece of cake for her!

She could easily work as a repairman on the farm. Repairmen don't work in the fields during busy farming seasons; they just need to ensure the tractors are working properly.

And Zhong Songbai and Zhong Baiyang will also have a place to settle down.

Zhong Songbai secretly taught her how to drive a tractor, and she could easily become a tractor driver later.

Zhong Baiyang is only 12 years old, so he definitely can't drive the tractor. He can only follow behind her as an apprentice!

As for why the original owner knew how to repair tractors, it's not difficult to explain to Zhong Songbai and Zhong Baiyang.

The original owner's father had studied abroad, specifically automobile manufacturing. The family had many books on the subject. The original owner was exceptionally talented and learned on his own through reading, with his father's guidance, which was quite remarkable!

With the heavy burden on Zhong Wanwan's heart lifted, Zhong Wanwan was overjoyed.

Thinking that she needed to seize Bai Yueyao's opportunity, and therefore had to closely follow Bai Yueyao and her two companions, Zhong Wanwan took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xia Ning:

"Comrade Xia, you're going to Hongxing Farm in An County to work in the countryside. My brother and I, along with two other people, are going to Wanglin Village, which is next to Hongxing Farm!"

“My name is Zhong Wanwan. The person opposite me is my younger brother Zhong Baiyang, and the one by the window is my twin brother Zhong Songbai.”

"Since we're going the same way, why don't we travel together to Dongsheng Commune?"

Xia Ning didn't think much of it and immediately agreed:

"Great! It'll be good to have someone to look out for you on the way!"

Although Bai Yueyao was unwilling to walk with Zhong Wanwan, she was not asked at all and had no chance to answer.

After enduring a day and two nights on the train, the six people, each with their own thoughts, did not rest and headed straight for Dongsheng Commune.

When we arrived at Dongsheng Commune, the farm and village officials who had come to pick up the educated youth were all waiting there!

Seeing that Zhong Wanwan was picked up by an oxcart while she was picked up by a tractor, Bai Yueyao gave Zhong Wanwan a smug look.

Zhong Wanwan didn't even bother to glance at her. Anyway, she was going to get her comeuppance soon, so let her be smug for a while!

Just as Zhong Wanwan put her luggage on the oxcart, she saw the tractor from Hongxing Farm chug past her.

When Wang Youcai, the brigade leader of Wanglin Village, saw the three educated youths who had come, his face darkened.

The quality of the educated youth sent to the countryside is getting worse every year. At least the female educated youth were stronger before, and the male educated youth were all adults!

Look at these three educated youths. The female educated youth is so thin that a gust of wind could blow her away, and the male educated youth looks so young, he must be only 12 or 13 years old!

What's going on? Are they forcing people into their village without even carrying them on their backs?

Tomorrow he'll go to the commune director and demand an explanation. If he doesn't get some benefits, he'll definitely send the person back!

No matter how unwilling he was, Captain Wang couldn't just leave Zhong Wanwan and the other two behind and go back by himself. Captain Wang waved his hand dismissively, signaling Zhong Wanwan and the other two to hurry up and get on the oxcart.

Zhong Wanwan didn't care. Anyway, the three of them weren't really going to stay in Wanglin Village. She pulled Zhong Songbai and Zhong Baiyang and quickly climbed onto the oxcart.

When we saw the tractor again, it was at the intersection leading into Wanglin Village.

When the village head of Wanglin Village saw that the tractor from Hongxing Farm had broken down on the road, he stopped the oxcart, got off, and struck up a conversation:

"Director Wei, is the tractor broken down?"

Manager Wei said with a troubled expression:

"That's right, we were only a few miles away when the car broke down!"

Captain Wang said enthusiastically:

"Then I'll send a message to the farm and ask them to send someone who can repair tractors over?"

Speaking of this, Director Wei became even more worried. He sighed and said:

"We don't have anyone on the farm who can repair tractors. We've asked the county several times, but no one is willing to come!"

“Every time it breaks down, we have to wait for the county repair station to send someone over, and eight out of ten times it can’t be fixed. In the end, we have to go back to the tractor factory, which delays things every year during the busy farming season!”

As the two were talking, a woman's voice interrupted them:

"When a tractor breaks down, it's usually just a matter of a clogged spark plug, worn oil lines, a faulty clutch, or worn gears. It's not that hard to fix!"
