Chapter 18 Ability
"Is that all?"
The young man was wearing a clean and tidy blue shirt and black trousers. When he raised his hand, the brown strap of his watch was faintly visible. His leather shoes were shiny, and his hair was combed back in a big bun. I don't know what he used to apply it, but the hair was firmly stuck to his scalp.
This is a pretty fashionable guy, Sun Ge thought.
The young man is called Yao Jin. He is a worker on a nearby farm. His father is also the director of the farm and he comes from an outstanding family.
Three months ago, the farm spent a lot of money to buy two harvesters and trained two drivers. One was Yao Jin, the son of the farm director, and the other was Jiang Wen, the secretary's future son-in-law.
Yao Jin and Jiang Wen don't get along. He likes Secretary Xu's only daughter, Xu Ying, and has been pursuing her for a long time. As a result, Jiang Wen came to the farm and became Secretary Xu's secretary. He was close to Xu Ying and bewitched her, and the two started dating.
Originally, the Yao and Xu families planned to become relatives, but Jiang Wen interfered, causing the two families to fall out and become rivals.
As harvester drivers on the farm, Yao Jin and Jiang Wen have work targets. There are regulations on how much grain they need to harvest each quarter. However, this quarter had just begun when Yao Jin's harvester broke down.
The harvester was bought from another province, and it was unknown how long it would take for the mechanic to come. Even if it was repaired by then, Yao Jin would not only fail to meet the seasonal targets, but would also have to face punishment from the farm.
Now the Yao and Xu families are rivals, and Jiang Wen and Yao Jin are also competitors. Yao Jin doesn't want to lose to the other party at all.
Moreover, if Secretary Xu knew that Yao Jin broke the newly purchased harvester, he would definitely criticize Yao Jin at the meeting and at the same time attack Director Yao for not parenting his children well, putting the Yao family at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two families.
So, after learning that there was a man in the county who was very good at repairing things, Yao Jin went to him with a try-it attitude.
"It's fixed. Go and try it." Brother Sun pointed inside the warehouse and asked the man to verify it.
Yao Jin gave a look to the person next to him, who nodded and walked towards the warehouse.
To be honest, Yao Jin didn't have high hopes. It wasn't that he looked down on the repairman, but the harvester in his hand was too high-end. It took less than a year from production to sale, and it was rarely seen on the market. How could it be repaired so easily?
After a while, Yao Jin heard a familiar mechanical sound from inside. Then the man who had just entered ran out excitedly and said in a suppressed voice, "Brother Jin, it's really okay."
Upon hearing this, Yao Jin's casual posture became serious. His voice was not loud, but his excitement was still evident. "Really?"
Yao Jin walked a few steps on the spot, but was still worried, so he went in to try it himself. Sure enough, there was no sense of obstruction as when he operated it, and the cuttings rolled very smoothly.
I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but I always feel that the harvester now drives more smoothly than when he first bought it.
After Yao Jin came out, he didn't hide the smile on his face. When he saw Brother Sun, he praised him: "Which master built this? It's really amazing."
Brother Sun smiled with his hands behind his back and didn't respond.
Yao Jin raised his eyebrows. He had already heard about the repairman's rules when he came here, and he didn't care about Brother Sun's silence.
He just wanted to build a good relationship with others so that if any problems arose, he could find someone to help fix them.
This master has outstanding skills and I think he must be very old. I wonder if he has a daughter at home. It would be nice to get to know him.
The headache has been solved, and Yao Jin has become his usual frivolous and casual self again, even having the leisure to think about women.
Since the harvester has been repaired, Yao Jin needs to pay the balance according to the transaction. He took out three rolls of Great Unity from his clothes and handed them to Brother Sun.
After Brother Sun took it, he did not rush to check it, but took out a piece of white paper covered with dense handwriting.
"This was written by the maintenance master. It contains the daily maintenance methods of the machine and some precautions when operating it. You can take a look." Brother Sun relayed Pei Xingzhi's words to Yao Jin.
Yao Jin was stunned. After taking it and taking a closer look, he admired the repairman behind him even more. What was written on it were all his irregular movements during normal operation. It was obvious that he had only repaired it once, but the repairman had guessed his operating habits.
When did such a powerful figure appear in their Hongshan Town?
At this time, Pei Xingzhi was in the supply and marketing cooperative, bending over and looking at various commodities on the shelves.
Brother Sun came in from outside and walked behind Pei Xingzhi. "Xingzhi, you're really amazing. You can even fix something as big as that. What on earth can't you fix?"
Pei Xingzhi smiled, joking for once, "Yes, but I don't know how to fly a plane."
Brother Sun slapped Pei Xingzhi and scolded him with a smile, "You little bastard, you're so arrogant."
"Here, the money is for you. Remember to keep it safe." Brother Sun handed the big unity of the two groups to Pei Xingzhi.
"It's so late today, you can stay at my house for one night and go back tomorrow."
Pei Xingzhi took it and shook his head, "No, thank you, Brother Sun. I have to go to work tomorrow and can't be late."
Brother Sun: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. You earn in one day as much as others earn in a year. What's there to worry about?"
Pei Xingzhi still disagreed, but Brother Sun said he would lend him the bicycle. Pei Xingzhi refused again, which made Brother Sun so angry that he called him a stubborn donkey.
Pei Xingzhi smiled and didn't care. Brother Sun's workplace was not close to where he lived, and he didn't want to trouble anyone.
After a few words, Pei Xingzhi asked the salesperson to bring out the White Rabbit milk candies, pens, pencils and notebooks that he had set his eyes on. In a short while, one-fifth of the Great Unity candies were gone before they were even warmed up.
In fact, the most expensive items were pens and White Rabbit milk candies. Pei Xingzhi bought more pencils and notebooks.
After the salesperson finished packing, Pei Xingzhi left quickly. In fact, the supply and marketing cooperative should have closed half an hour ago, but Pei Xingzhi kept wandering around inside, buying things from time to time. The salesperson was an elderly lady, and seeing that Pei Xingzhi was handsome, she didn't chase him away.
But in the end, Pei Xingzhi bought so many things that the saleswoman felt that the wait was worth it.
By the time Pei Xingzhi walked out of the town, it was already completely dark, but the moonlight was very bright, and Pei Xingzhi was very familiar with the road, so it did not affect his walking.
In the silent mountains, the hoarse calls of crows can be heard occasionally, the moonlight is like a silver gauze draped over the earth, the chirping of cicadas and frogs linger in the ears, and a figure is walking quickly on the mountain path.
Pei Xingzhi walked very fast, but he did not sweat. The night wind blew on him, making him feel very cool.
He held the package tightly in his hand, expecting Meng Wanqiu to show a surprised expression after seeing these things, and her beautiful big eyes would surely turn into crescent shapes.
I don’t know if she has ever eaten White Rabbit Milk Candy. He ate it when he was a child. It has a strong milky flavor and is very sweet. Meng Wanqiu will definitely like it, but I don’t know if she is willing to share some with Zhuangzhuang.
After spending some time together, Pei Xingzhi also learned about some of Meng Wanqiu's characteristics, such as her food protection, great strength, and restless sleep.
But in Pei Xingzhi's view, these were not big problems. Instead, he found them very strange. He had never seen anyone like Meng Wanqiu around him.
What was Pei Xingzhi thinking about Meng Wanqiu doing at this moment?
Back to the time when Meng Wanqiu was in the Youth League, as soon as she asked about Pi Jingxuan's whereabouts, she was ridiculed by Zhang Xiuqing.
Meng Wanqiu turned to look at Zhang Xiuqing, her large eyes unblinking. Her dark pupils made Zhang Xiuqing feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me?"
Meng Wanqiu tilted her head and didn't answer Zhang Xiuqing. She continued to look at her for a while, then suddenly realized, "Comrade, do you like Pei Xingzhi?"
Zhang Xiuqing felt embarrassed and annoyed that her little thoughts had been discovered. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
But Meng Wanqiu didn't even look at her. She turned around and said to Pi Jingxuan, "Jingxuan, do you know?"
Pi Jingxuan nodded as a matter of course. Yes, everyone in the Youth League knew that Zhang Xiuqing liked Pei Xingzhi.
Zhang Xiuqing didn't expect that Pi Jingxuan would not stand on her side and actually admitted it so carelessly. She was so angry that her chest hurt and she pointed at Pi Jingxuan and couldn't speak.
After receiving a positive answer, Meng Wanqiu frowned and looked at Zhang Xiuqing with regret, "Comrade, you and Xingzhi have known each other for so long, why haven't you been together? Is it because Xingzhi doesn't like you..."
Meng Wanqiu was very irritating. She half said what she said and half hid what she said. She covered her mouth and looked at Zhang Xiuqing innocently with her big eyes.
Zhang Xiuqing's fingers scratched the wooden door so hard that white marks appeared. His eyes were full of jealousy, as if he would pounce on her at any second.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiuqing still had a bit of common sense and knew where she was. In Qinghe Village, she, an educated youth with no background, dared to attack the daughter of the branch secretary. The outcome was not something she could bear.
Seeing this, Meng Wanqiu's eyes flashed with boredom.
She had seen all kinds of people in her previous life. She had to do the logistics work for the killer organization, and she had no idea how many people she had dealt with, men and women, young and old, good and bad. She had suffered losses and been deceived, and she had long since developed a character that was not easily surprised by honor or disgrace.
In this life, she never hides her emotions in front of her family, but when there are outsiders around, she always pretends to be harmless, like a village girl who knows nothing.
However, kind people are often bullied. While maintaining a soft appearance, you must also show a hint of sharpness in order to better protect yourself.
Facing the provocation from the person in front of her, what was there for Meng Wanqiu to not understand? Wasn't it that he just liked Pei Xingzhi and wanted to prove that she was not valued by Pei Xingzhi?
Meng Wanqiu didn't care.
Her original intention of getting married was to reassure her parents. Whether she loved him or not was not her concern at all. She came to Pi Jingxuan to ask about Pei Xingzhi's whereabouts, just to fulfill her wife's responsibilities. So far, Pei Xingzhi has been quite responsible, so she certainly can't be ungrateful.
As for life, as long as he has no other thoughts, sends money home on time, and can support his wife and children, that's enough.
After returning home, facing the questions from her family, Meng Wanqiu did not show any emotional fluctuations and told them naturally.
The men were not so attentive and didn't care once they knew Pei Xingzhi's whereabouts, but Meng's mother and Dong Hanyun looked at each other and understood each other's concerns.
Meng's mother didn't know what to say to her son-in-law. She just wanted to find a time to talk to Meng Wanqiu so that she wouldn't get stuck in a dead end.
However, Dong Hanyun was dissatisfied with Pei Xingzhi and decided to teach him a lesson.
Meng Wanqiu didn't know about her mother and sister-in-law's worries. After dinner, she played with Zhuangzhuang for a long time. After Zhuangzhuang fell asleep, she followed him back to the room and fell asleep as soon as she covered herself with the quilt.
As the night deepened, the Meng family members fell asleep one after another.
At this moment, Meng Wanqiu suddenly woke up.
She sat up and scratched her hair, her eyes moved to the place where Pei Xingzhi usually slept, pursed her lips, and there was no movement for a long time.
After a while, Meng Wanqiu got out of bed quietly, changed her clothes, took a flashlight, and quietly left the house through the back door.
Meng Wanqiu had often sneaked out before, so she was naturally familiar with this route.
Meng Wanqiu didn't know what she was doing. When she came to her senses, she had already reached the village entrance.
