Wang Jianguo's face felt a little hot. Although he felt from the bottom of his heart that a woman should not meddle in other people's affairs, they were all from the same team after all.
Moreover, most of the people in the brigade are relatives, and he cannot lose face for the Eighteen Qing Brigade when he goes out. Just as he was about to speak up to help, a woman's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Oh, it's a new era of gender equality, but there are still people who look down on female comrades. Am I weaker than you? Or am I not as smart as you?" Du Xiaoying sneered, not tolerating these stinky men who looked down on others.
"Hey, you're still pretty tough. You're just wasting your time, woman."
"That's right, if you have this much time, you might as well earn a few more work points. You can't learn to drive a tractor just by talking hard..."
Several men had undisguised disdain on their faces.
"What's wrong with being a woman? No woman could have given birth to you? Aren't your mother, wife, and daughters women?" Du Xiaoying retorted mercilessly, no longer the soft persimmon that anyone could bully.
"Hey, you bitch, why are you cursing?"
Du Xiaoying sneered, "Oh, telling the truth is considered cursing? You really are good at turning the tables."
"you--"
"Comrade, we were both voted on by our brigade members to learn tractor training. There's no rule that only men can learn tractor training."
Wang Jianguo couldn't bear it anymore. Several older men stood up and walked over, shouting louder and louder.
"Did I call you here to fight? If you want to fight, get out!" Master Liu looked grim and shouted with a stern face.
The threshing ground suddenly became quiet.
Master Liu glanced at everyone with a sullen face and warned them sternly, "I don't care which commune or brigade you're from. You have to follow my rules here. Talk less, watch carefully, and learn carefully."
"What are you still standing there for? Come here quickly!"
Du Xiaoying took the lead and walked towards Master Liu who was standing in front of the tractor.
Several men came to their senses and immediately followed.
Master Liu touched his old friend, and his stern black face softened a little, and his voice became loud and powerful.
"We must not only learn how to drive a tractor, but also master the methods of maintenance and be able to deal with emergencies. Let me first give you a brief introduction to the structure of a tractor."
"As you can see, a tractor usually has two large wheels and two small wheels, and the body is relatively short, so it is relatively bumpy..."
When Master Liu turned around, he saw the woman holding a notebook and a pencil. He was stunned for a moment, his brows knitted into a frown, "What are you doing?"
Du Xiaoying smiled and said, "Master Liu, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I will write it down and review it more when I get home."
"Shh~"
Just a man's disdainful sneer.
"Why are you sneering? Look how smart that female comrade is. She even knows to write it down. How come you remember everything I just said? Okay, then let me ask you, what is this thing?" Master Liu turned his head and stared at the man with a fierce face.
"Is... a motive?" the man stammered.
"What engine?"
"Yes, yes..." The man was so anxious that he scratched his head and ears, and his face turned red but he couldn't hold it in.
Master Liu looked disappointed and pointed at Du Xiaoying, "Come on, you tell me."
"It's a diesel engine."
"How did it start? What should I pay attention to?"
"It's a small machine that's cranked manually, and then it starts the large diesel engine. The startup time is quite long..."
Master Liu nodded with a hint of satisfaction on his serious face, then turned around and scolded with a stern face, "See? Learn more and stop whining."
Du Xiaoying blinked, her heart leaping with joy as she watched a group of grown men lower their heads after being scolded, her eyes and eyebrows raised.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Calm down and learn." Master Liu said with a dark face, and then began to teach how to start the tractor.
......
"Sister, why are you sighing?"
"I wonder how Mom is doing with her studies? It's already noon, and the sun is so bright. I wonder if Mom has nowhere to go?" Daya glanced at the yard outside, which was so hot that there was no shade at all.
Sanya, Siya and Wuya also sighed, their little faces wrinkled.
Erya patted her sisters' heads and said, "Don't worry, sister. Our mother is so capable. She will definitely have no problem learning to drive a tractor. She will definitely have a place to go at noon. After all, it's arranged by the commune. The people in the brigade will not leave her alone."
"Too."
As soon as the five sisters got home from work, they locked the courtyard door from the inside and opened the main room door wide to let out the heat.
Daya lowered her head and continued to sew clothes for her sisters, while Erya helped her.
Sanya was reading and studying, while Siya and Wuya were sleeping with clothes covering their stomachs, their little faces were rosy.
"Sister, we are sisters from the same mother, so why are the clothes I sew so ugly?" Erya frowned, looking at the crooked stitches.
Daya was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and quickly rescued Sanya's new clothes from her second sister.
"As our mother said - everyone has their own strengths, just like you learn martial arts from our father, but I can't do that."
Erya scratched her head and chuckled, "That's right..."
Liujiagou Brigade
No one is rich these days, and normal people would not stay at someone else's house during meal time.
The group brought dry food with them when they went out in the morning. At noon, they were taken home by Master Liu to rest and did not disturb the Liu family. They just asked for some cold water to fill their stomachs with the dry food.
"Xiao Du, come and rest in this room with us." Mrs. Liu was a kind and simple woman.
