After Jiang Che finished his breakfast at home, he went out with Da Zhuang.
"Da Zhuang, why did you send me to town? Where is Uncle Jinshui?"
Jiang Che asked.
"Oh, Uncle Jinshui was busy sowing in the fields today, so he threw the tractor handle to me. The village chief happened to find me this morning and told me he was here to pick you up. I didn't expect you to come back."
Da Zhuang spoke with a simple and honest look on his face, but there was a slight sense of distance between his words, which Jiang Che could still feel.
They have all grown up. Da Zhuang has experienced some hardships after traveling to the big city. Some social skills have made the honest rural boy grow a lot.
However, Jiang Che did not have any other thoughts. Da Zhuang would always be his brother. Seeing that his childhood friend looked a little unnatural, Jiang Che stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders.
"You are such a fool. You're already alienated from me after not seeing me for a year. Don't forget that we are good brothers who grew up together."
"Don't think too much. I'm telling you I'm not leaving this time. I'm planning to rebuild Huaxi Village. How about you stay and help me?"
Jiang Che looked at Da Zhuang seriously, wanting to hear what he thought.
"I'm definitely willing to stay in Huaxi Village, but you know my family's situation. If I stay in the village, my father will definitely break my legs."
"My family is too poor. If I don't make more money, no girl will be willing to be with me in the future."
Jiang Dazhuang looked conflicted. Passing on the incense was a major event in life. If this issue could not be resolved, it would be absolutely impossible for him to stay in the village.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Dazhuang would become smart and realize that he needs to find a wife. Tell me, bro, do you have a lover while working outside?"
Jiang Che patted his good brother's shoulder and teased.
Hearing Jiang Che's question, Jiang Dazhuang's dark face turned red and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Xiao Che, please stop talking. I'm just doing hard labor at the construction site. There aren't any girls around here."
After saying this, Jiang Dazhuang still had a somewhat lonely look on his face, which Jiang Che saw. It was very likely that Dazhuang had been stimulated in the city, but since Dazhuang was unwilling to speak, Jiang Che did not ask any more questions.
"It's okay, Dazhuang. As long as you're willing to stay in the village and help me, I can help you find a wife. How about that?"
Jiang Che looked at Da Zhuang seriously.
Who knew that Dazhuang actually laughed and said in disbelief: "Xiao Che, you're just talking big. Wait until you've settled your lifelong affairs before you speak."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the threshing ground at the entrance of the village. The tractor usually parked here, and sometimes helped the villagers thresh the grain when it had nothing to do.
This small tractor has many functions. Dazhuang took out the crank and skillfully put it into the start hole of the engine.
Although Dazhuang is not very smart in studying, he has strong hands-on ability.
He skillfully pressed the throttle of the tractor with his left hand, grabbed the crank with his right hand and started cranking with all his strength.
The flywheel of the tractor began to rotate slowly. As Dazhuang's speed became faster and faster, the tractor began to emit black smoke and was about to catch fire.
Da Zhuang felt it and thought it was about time, so he let go immediately, and the tractor that was about to start stalled again.
Da Zhuang was a little surprised that the crank didn't work. It seemed that he hadn't cranked the tractor for a long time and was not very skilled. He spat, rubbed his hands, and put the crank back in. It was very difficult to crank the tractor.
Following the previous steps, Da Zhuang started again, gritting his teeth and shaking the tractor with all his strength, and the tractor began to emit black smoke again.
But as soon as Dazhuang released the crank and throttle, it stalled again.
Da Zhuang looked a little embarrassed. If he failed to hit the target today, it would be embarrassing. If he ran back to the village and called Jinshui Uncle, he would be laughed at to death.
Unconvinced, Da Zhuang tried again, but the result was the same: the car was about to catch fire, but it stalled as soon as he let go.
Jiang Che was getting a little anxious watching from the side. This tractor was so difficult to start. He didn't know how Uncle Jinshui usually did it.
Jiang Che even suspected that Uncle Jinshui was unwilling to come because he knew that the tractor was too difficult to operate and was deliberately making an excuse to be lazy.
"Da Zhuang, take a break. Let me try."
Jiang Che suddenly interrupted Da Zhuang who was about to try again in a different position. He saw that Da Zhuang was sweating all over after shaking three times. If he tried again, he probably wouldn't be able to lift his arms tomorrow.
Da Zhuang glanced at Jiang Che and shook his head. His frail body could be blown away by a strong wind, so how could he possibly crank a tractor? If he was hit by the crank, he would break a bone.
"No, no, no, forget it. It's too dangerous. I can't do it, let alone you. At worst, I can call Uncle Jinshui over."
"How can a man say no? Give me the crank and you control the valve. If you dare to look down on me, I'll show you what it means to have flesh growing inside your bones."
Jiang Che snatched the crank from Da Zhuang's hand and stuffed it into the engine, looking at Da Zhuang who was still in a daze.
"What are you waiting for? Press the valve. I don't know how to use that thing."
Da Zhuang couldn't persuade Jiang Che and had to let him do whatever he wanted. Jiang Che tried to turn around first and found that it was not difficult, then he gradually increased his speed.
Jiang Che's arms were moving, but his body was motionless. He shook the tractor calmly.
Seeing Da Zhuang's eyes wide open, this seems a bit too easy!
Soon the tractor began to make a rumbling sound and the whole tractor began to shake. Da Zhuang had stalled the engine here just now. Thinking that Jiang Che did not let go, he continued to increase his strength.
"Alright, Xiao Che, hold on like this. I'll let go when I say one, two, three."
