Liu Shunlai snorted coldly: "Haha? How bad is it? If I tell you, will it get better on its own? I think you two should do what you need to do and don't get in my way."
"Maybe we can fix it!" Ning Xi raised her head and was not afraid of him at all.
"How shameless! You probably don't even know how to start a tractor, and you still want to fix it? Aren't you afraid that the wind will be too strong and your tongue will be blown away?" Liu Shunlai sneered sinisterly.
Master Zhang, who was invisible at the side, stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Hey, you two youngsters, stop messing around here. Master Liu was in a bad mood because his machine broke down this morning, so he spoke a little harshly, but it was all for your own good, so don't mind it."
After saying that, he patted Liu Shunlai on the shoulder and said, "They are still young, why are you bothering with them? Captain, let's go back quickly so as not to delay your trip to the county to recruit people."
The captain was watching the two people arguing with each other, and thought that Ning Xi was quite sharp-tongued and didn't give in at all, which was very different from her seemingly weak appearance.
Being suddenly awakened, he touched his head awkwardly and asked Ning Xi and the others to go back quickly.
Ning Xi stood in front of Master Zhang and said, "Master Zhang, you didn't tell us what broke. Don't you want us to fix it?"
Zhang Guodong didn't expect the two of them to still be entangled here. His face darkened and he was about to lose his temper, but Liu Shunlai got angry first, pulled him away, walked in front of Ning Xi, pointed at her and said loudly:
"Come on! I'll take you there. I want to see what you two can do. I'm afraid you haven't even seen a tractor in the city! You're just standing here pretending to be cultured and boasting."
Ning Xi hated being pointed at and talked to, so she pointed back: "What if we fix it?"
"If you can fix it, I will resign from the commune and let you be the tractor driver, okay?" Liu Shun looked at the two men's fair skin and tender flesh, and knew without hesitation that they were fresh out of school.
What can you learn in school nowadays?
If I had studied in a vocational school, I would have been assigned a job long ago and would not have come to the countryside to work as a farmer.
So he was sure that these two people were just trying to show off in front of the captain. They calculated that they would not let the two of them repair it, so they deliberately used them as ladders to paint themselves gilded.
He wanted to see how these two would end up if he couldn't fix it.
"Forget it, Xiao Liu, you're just too impulsive. Why bother with the kids?" Master Zhang pushed him aside and urged, "Captain, let's get going."
The captain was really unsure, was Ning Xi bluffing or did she really know how to repair it?
He was wavering between going to the county town and letting the two of them take a look first.
"Uncle Yu, let us go and take a look. If it can't be repaired, I'll run errands to the county town to hire someone for you!" Ning Xi saw the captain's hesitation and added another chip.
Liu Shunlai twisted his lips and said, "Be tough now, or you'll end up crying when the repair fails."
Master Zhang looked anxious: "Stop arguing. The most important thing is to find someone to fix it as soon as possible."
Unfortunately, no one listened to him.
Chu Hongchen stepped forward and said, "Captain, let us give it a try. If we can fix it, you won't have to make a trip and it won't delay your work in the fields. If we can't fix it, we can run errands for you. It won't be too late."
My parents both worked at the Mechanical Research Institute, so I was taught by example since I was a kid."
Seeing Ning Xi trying hard to fight for opportunities for him, he was very touched, but as a grown man, he couldn't just hide behind others.
Mechanical Research Institute? It sounds even more impressive than the County Agricultural Machinery Station.
"Then why don't you give it a try?" Seeing his determined face, and with the blessing of his parents' halo, the captain felt even more inclined.
In fact, he had only been to the county a few times, so he was a little scared to suddenly ask for help.
If it can't be repaired, just let these two educated youth help run errands. Since they have put in the effort, there is no reason for others to hold on to them.
"Captain, this...how can we treat it so lightly!" Master Zhang was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his face, but the other people ignored him.
With a sigh, Master Zhang followed the others silently.
Ning Xi turned around and smiled, "Master Zhang, you're a tractor driver. Can you tell us how the machine broke down? What are the specific symptoms?"
"Oh, you're asking for advice now? You don't want to learn and apply what you've learned right away?" Liu Shunlai became even angrier when he saw that she ignored him and would rather ask Zhang Guodong behind her than him.
Hooked!
Ning Xi provoked him again:
"Master Liu, what are you talking about? We need to understand the situation well before we can take action. Besides, Master Zhang is obviously very experienced, so it's normal for us to ask him for advice."
"Do you look down on me? I was the one driving it this morning. The machine has been emitting white smoke and the speed is slower than usual. So what do you think? Do you understand?" Liu Shunlai was so angry that his fingers were shaking.
If he can’t fix it in a while, just wait and see how he’ll deal with these two ignorant guys!
At the very least, we must report these two people to the commune for disrupting normal production activities, and make them pay the consequences.
The few of them soon arrived at the edge of the field. Liu Shunlai made way for them and said, "Look, come and fix it! I'm waiting to plow the fields, and I can't be idle like you!"
Chu Hongchen stepped forward and examined it in a serious manner.
Liu Shunlai stared at him from the side, thinking that this guy was pretending quite well.
Just as Chu Hongchen finished checking the bottom of the fuel tank and was about to conduct further inspections, Master Zhang stepped forward and said loudly:
"Captain, I think they just spoke rashly. Let's just forget it. We can't afford to repair it if it's damaged. After all, this is public property."
