After Sun Kaicheng explained it this way, Qian Baozhu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard someone mention it when he went to the county town for a meeting last time. He had even seen pictures of it, but he hadn't seen the real thing. He said it looked familiar but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Back then, many people were asking when this machine would be available for sale. Although it was a bit expensive, they heard it was very fuel-efficient, and they figured they could grit their teeth and buy one. After that, no one mentioned it again, and he completely forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, his brother's grandson brought him such a big surprise this week: "I know, I know, I saw the photos at the last meeting, but we don't sell them here. Did you bring this from the capital?"
"Yes, many places are experiencing drought right now, and this machine is in short supply. You may not be able to buy it here yet."
"That's great, but you must accept this money. We can't take advantage of you." Their village can afford this amount of money, and this thing will be useful in the future, so it's not a bad deal to buy it.
"No need, no need, just consider it my grandfather's contribution to the village."
"That won't do. This isn't cheap. Don't refuse. I'll send you the money later. It's already a huge help that you even thought of buying one for me." What a great favor! To accept something so valuable.
"Does the village have any oil? Want to try it?" Sun Kaicheng was still anxious and went over to see what was going on with Comrade Erdan.
"Okay, I'll find someone to buy some engine oil. We'll try it out in a bit. The water truck won't last much longer." Who could have imagined that this drought would be so severe?
"Sanbao, go ahead. You have a bicycle, so you can go back and forth quickly. Go buy some engine oil and come back. Don't forget to pick up the letter of introduction first."
"Understood, Uncle," Qian Sanbao was watching his eldest niece work when he was conscripted into the army, but he liked doing errands.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm going to check on Erdan," Sun Kaicheng never called Qian Xiao by her nickname in front of her, but he always did so in front of the villagers, as it made them feel closer.
The village chief didn't think much of it, knowing the two kids were close: "Go quickly, go quickly, there's a problem that's stumped Erdan, go and give him some advice."
Sun Kaicheng stood up to go over, but then remembered that he had other luggage. He couldn't just leave it there. He turned his head and saw his grandfather walking over from a distance.
He quickly picked up his luggage and placed it in front of his grandfather: "Grandpa, keep an eye on things for me, I'm going to check on Erdan first."
Before Grandpa Zhou could even ask his grandson, "Didn't you say you were too busy? Why are you here again?", he saw his grandson hurriedly walking towards Erdan's daughter.
He muttered under his breath, "You brat, you knew you didn't come here to see us."
Qian Xiao felt someone squat down next to her. She turned her head and saw Sun Kaicheng: "Oh my god, how could I forget to pick you up!"
"Shuangdan, why didn't you remind me? Didn't I tell you to remind me?" Qian Xiao asked Shuangdan in her mind, her voice booming. "Can I still count on you?"
Double Eggs… Could it say that Sun Kaicheng forbade it to remind him? But thinking of the benefits it would receive, it could only shut up and play dead.
The two eggs have plenty of energy now. Perhaps the sense of crisis that the energy was about to run out at the beginning has made them used to it and they have no resistance to energy now.
Now that it has seen energy, the only bottom line it can guarantee is not to betray its host; otherwise, it will agree to anything else.
“I know you’re busy, and it’s not a long way, so I thought I could just walk back myself,” he said, reluctant to let Erdan drive under the scorching sun to pick him up in such hot weather.
Sun Kaicheng glanced at Qian Jingshen, who was deep in thought: "And who is this?"
The topic changed so quickly that Qian Xiao almost couldn't keep up: "Ah! Oh, this is Qian Jingshen, the new educated youth who came to the village. He knows a lot about these things and has been a great help this time."
"You've just gotten back, go back and rest. I'm almost done here, I should be done today." As for introducing the two of them, she hadn't even thought about it, since they would hardly ever cross paths again anyway.
For Qian Xiao, Qian Jingshen was not even as close as an ordinary villager; he was more like a classmate, and it was already quite good if they could greet each other when they met.
She doesn't really like people who cry easily, whether they're men or women. If someone comes to help, the village will naturally have its say, but it's not her business.
"I'm not tired. Do you understand? Do you need my help?" Sun Kaicheng was quite satisfied with Qian Xiao's attitude. Luckily, Erdan was a bit dim-witted, otherwise this pretty boy would be in quite danger.
"That's about it. I don't need to do the rest of the work. Once everything is connected, it'll be finished."
Qian Xiao still had some conscience, and carefully observed Sun Kaicheng's expression: "Is the problem over there serious?"
Sun Kaicheng understood what Qian Xiaowen meant and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with me, but we have too much extra time. After you've rested here, let's go up the mountain for a walk."
"Sure, I haven't been idle since I got back. I was just thinking of going up to take a look. I wonder what it's like inside. I'm afraid the situation inside isn't good either, with wild animals coming down from the mountain."
The hunters in the village are very busy this year. Many of them take turns going into the mountains whenever they have free time, just in case the wild animals in the mountains have nothing to eat and come down to harass the villagers. I wonder if she also wants to go into the mountains to see what the environment is like.
She dared to venture into the deep mountains where hunters were hesitant, since she had a safe haven to protect herself, and it would be even better if someone could accompany her.
Aunt Qian, who was watching from the side, was getting a little anxious. Although Qian Xiao was from the countryside, she was capable and a college student. If her son worked hard to marry her, she would be able to rest easy knowing that her son was living alone here.
People are never satisfied. At first, he only wanted the locals to help take care of his son, but in the last couple of days, he's had other ideas. If his son could marry a girl from the village, wouldn't life be better?
She glanced at the woman beside her, then pulled her aside and asked, "Was that young man who came over later Qian Xiao's brother?"
Erhua's mother was confused. Who was she asking?
Who is Qian Xiao?
Oh right, that's what Erdan's real name is.
"You mean Erdan?"
Aunt Qian? "Who is Erdan?"
She didn't go with her son when he went up the mountain a couple of days ago, thinking that she shouldn't cause trouble for him. She didn't go out much either, so she didn't hear anyone in the village calling Qian Xiao by her nickname.
Erhua's mother pointed and said, "Isn't that Erdan?"
Aunt Qian looked over and exclaimed, "Wow, this girl's nickname is Erdan? That's... quite down-to-earth."
