Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Captain Zhao Lei stood in the middle of the open space and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Captain, what's the matter? I was just about to lie down after a tiring day when you were called over." A man sitting on the ground shouted.
Captain Zhao Lei glared at the man and said, "What are you yelling about? If you want to say something, just say it first. I'll make room for you."
"I won't say anything more. Captain, you speak first." The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly.
Captain Zhao Lei glanced at the grinning crowd, and waited until no one had whispered anymore before he spoke.
"Last year, our Shibaqing Brigade was awarded the title of Advanced Brigade. The awarded tractor has been approved and is already on its way!"
“Pah pah pah…”
There was thunderous applause.
Every face of men, women, young and old was filled with excitement and cheered, clapping their hands loudly.
Captain Zhao Lei, who usually had a serious face, smiled for a rare moment and raised his hand to signal.

Those who had just actively raised their hands to sign up immediately put their hands down and whispered to each other. They all felt that learning to drive a tractor was not an easy task and it would take at least one or two months to learn it.
But doing so would waste a lot of work points.
The young and middle-aged men in the brigade could earn full work points every day, and they were a little hesitant for a moment.
"Captain, I sign up!"
A clear female voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look, their eyes wide with shock.
Du Xiaoying ignored the surprised and strange looks around her, took a step forward with a firm tone, and spoke again.
"Captain, I'm signing up to learn how to be a tractor driver."
