Chapter 134 Teaching Comrades to Drive Tractors
The rain continued to fall, and Cen Yan continued to drive the tractor to help transport the grain. Until it was completely dark, there was still no news from Qi Jingchuan about clearing the village entrance.
Xiang Yiguo felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.
"Comrade Cen Yan, you are really amazing. If it weren't for you, all the grain in our Xiangyang Brigade would probably have been lost. Thank you, on behalf of all the comrades, thank you."
Xiang Yiguo was already so tired he could hardly breathe, but he still couldn't help but grab Cen Yan and thank her profusely, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Cen Yan parked the tractor at the warehouse entrance, jumped off, and took a big gulp of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.
"Captain Xiang, I've been driving the tractor for over five hours straight. My physical and mental strength has reached its limit, but there's still a lot of grain to harvest in the fields. How about this, you arrange for a few comrades to come over, and I'll teach them how to use the tractor tomorrow."
"Once they are skilled, they will be able to drive tractors to transport grain themselves. They will be able to deliver grain to the commune every year without having to wait for someone from the commune to come down."
"What? Comrade Cen Yan, are you serious? You're going to teach our production team how to drive a tractor?"
Xiang Yiguo looked at Cen Yan with tears in his eyes. This was a skill that was essential for making a living, and Cen Yan was actually teaching him like that?
It should be noted that although the commune's tractor driver claimed to be accepting apprentices, he was only willing to accept close relatives as apprentices. If you wanted him to do something for you, you had to give him meat, grain, cigarettes, and alcohol.
Now Cen Yan said she would teach this skill, which was essential for making a living, to the people in their production team. How could he not be moved?
"Of course it's true. I'm doing this for myself. I'm a member of the medical team sent down from the island's health center. Once the disaster situation in the countryside improves, I'll have to go back to work in the city. After that, I won't be able to participate in things like paying public grain taxes. So I might as well take advantage of my time in Xiangyang Brigade to teach as many people as possible."
"Besides, during this busy harvest season, I can't possibly keep up with everyone running back and forth in the fields. My physical strength and energy can't keep up, and on the other hand, I also have to do my work as a medical team member..."
"Understood, we understand! Comrade Cen Yan, we are already very grateful that you are willing to teach the comrades in the production team how to drive a tractor! I will gather the female comrades who want to learn how to drive a tractor and they will come to you as your apprentices tomorrow."
Xiang Yiguo knew that Cen Yan and Zhang Wei were competing, so he thought it best to choose a woman for the tractor training course.
This also served as a way of showing Cen Yan a slap in the face to Zhang Wei, demonstrating to him that women can do just as much as men can.
Cen Yan didn't care about Xiang Yiguo's intentions. Whether he was a man or a woman didn't matter. As long as he could quickly become a skilled tractor driver and take over the job, she would be satisfied.
"Alright, then we'll start teaching tomorrow. You'll learn how to drive a tractor after a few trips with me to transport grain. The rest is just practice and gaining experience!"
"Okay, Nurse Cen, you can go back and rest now. I need to go back and direct everyone to harvest the crops." Xiang Yiguo left happily.
Cen Yan sat in the driver's seat of the tractor for a long time, and her whole body ached.
The first thing she did upon returning to her residence was to lock the door and go into her spatial dimension to soak in the spiritual spring water.
Cen Yan was unaware that after she left, Tang Qiuxia appeared around the shed where the tractors were parked.
She looked around furtively, like a thief, standing at the front of the tractor, her hands flailing about, seemingly doing nothing...
