Chapter 62 Thresher
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Yan'an stepped on the pedal of the machine, and the roller with piles began to spin rapidly, making a "buzzing" sound.
As Ye Yanan stepped faster and faster, the buzzing sound became louder and louder, and the drum turned so fast that only a blurry shadow could be seen.
Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
"Yan An, what exactly is this thing used for?"
"How come it's spinning so fast? It looks amazing!"
Ye Yan'an said, "This is a thresher, specially used for threshing rice. Everyone, watch carefully!"
Ye Yanping handed over a handful of rice ears, and Ye Yan'an reached out to take them. As soon as the rice ears touched the roller, they were immediately hit by the rapidly rotating roller, making crackling sounds, and the rice grains fell into the bucket below.
Ye Yan'an stopped and raised the rice ears in his hand, "Everyone can see the effect."
The villagers' eyes widened, and they grabbed the rice ears and examined them in their hands.
"Take it off completely!"
"It's much cleaner than doing it by hand!"
"This thing is much better than a person. It's fast, good, and saves trouble!"
"Yan An, how did you come up with that? It's incredible!"
Listening to everyone's praise, Ye Yan'an had a feeling of unreality.
Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Ye family is strong and able to endure hardships, while the third son of the Ye family is knowledgeable and simple.
The second son of the Ye family was best at causing chaos at home, making Luo Qiuyue so angry that she would jump up and down, and they would often chase each other from the east end to the west end of the village.
Ye Yan'an didn't know why he always made his parents angry. He once thought that he was born to be a servile person.
Letting them glare at him or scold him would make him feel inexplicably sweet inside.
Especially when his mother chased him all over the village and beat him, he actually felt a little satisfied.
He hadn't known before that satisfaction could be obtained in this way today.
Surrounded by everyone at this moment, he felt like crying.
"Yan An, did you really make this thresher?"
Some villagers expressed doubts, after all, this kid had never been very reliable before.
"It was really Yan An who did it!" Tietou Dad dove into the crowd, "He asked me to make the iron objects used here! I can testify to this!"
Now everyone was speechless.
"Yan An, you're quite good! I didn't realize before that you're such a talent!"
"Don't mention it, the three sons of the Ye family are all extraordinary!"
The village head stood in the crowd, smiling but saying nothing.
Ever since he discovered that Ye Yan'an arranged the guards perfectly, he knew that this kid looked like a scoundrel, but he was actually very smart and careful, and would achieve something sooner or later.
Ye Yanan felt a little embarrassed by everyone's praise. "I plan to make another one, so that the whole village will have two threshers, which should be enough."
Everyone was delighted to hear this, "Yan An, can we use this too?"
Ye Yan'an said, "Of course. Such a useful thing should benefit the whole village! But I don't have enough materials at home. All the wood and ironware have been used up."
For this machine, Ye Yanping took all the hoes and shovels in the house to Tietou's father to melt them down and make parts. If his mother found out, who knows what would happen.
The village head laughed and said, "There's a pile of scrap metal in the ancestral hall. Come with me later to see if you can use it. If you have the ability to benefit the villagers, I will support you even if I have to tear down my house!"
Everyone laughed.
"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief!" Ye Yan'an thought for a moment, "But there's one thing I need to make clear to everyone first. This thresher is dangerous when in operation, so everyone should be careful when using it!"
Then he talked about some safety precautions, such as not getting close to the running drum, locking the pedal when not threshing to prevent children from touching it, etc.
The village head said, "Let me be frank on Yan An's behalf. This thresher can be used by the whole village! However, if you don't follow Yan An's instructions and something goes wrong, you are not allowed to blame others!"
“It’s natural!”
Everyone nodded and rushed to pull Ye Yan'an.
"Yan An, after you finish your household chores, can you give me some for yours?"
"Then my family will use the second one!"
"My family ranks third!"
"My family is fourth!"
Ye Yanan: ⊙ω⊙
Ye Yanan's smoothly combed hair was messed up.
"Alright, alright!" The village head intervened. "Whoever finishes harvesting the grain first gets to use it first. Come sign up now!"
The village head took the man away.
The Ye family can finally start threshing with a thresher.
Ye Yan'an smiled and touched his messy hair. He turned around inadvertently and saw Xiaotuanzi standing on the ridge of the field not far away, looking at him with a sweet smile.
That look was different from his usual innocent look. It was clear and insightful, as if he could see into Ye Yan'an's heart.
At that moment, Ye Yanan's head exploded.
It turns out Xiaojiu knew!
She knows everything!
She knew his inferiority complex deep down, and she knew his pretense of indifference, so she helped him!
That blueprint was not given randomly at all!
Ye Yan'an's tears fell like rain. He opened his arms, walked towards Xiaojiu with blurred vision, and then hugged her in his arms.
"Wuwuwu..." Ye Yan'an cried like a wronged child, "Xiaojiu, thank you..."
"Cao Cao..." the little dumpling called softly, patting his back with his little hands to comfort him.
Cucu, you are so moved that you cry over such a small thing, what will you do in the future?
"Brother Yan An~"
Suddenly, Shui He's pretentious voice came to my ears.
Alarm bells rang in the little dumpling's head. It was that bad bitch again!
With a wave of her little hand, the power in the space turned into a strong wind and attacked Shui He.
Shui He was walking on the ridge of the field when she suddenly cried out "Ouch" and fell flat on her face into the ditch beside her!
"I just thought I heard Shui He calling me?" Ye Yan'an hurriedly wiped away his tears and looked around. "Strange, no one is there. Did I hear it wrongly?"
At this time, some villagers came calling him with wood and iron tools in their arms, "Yan'an, we got these from the ancestral hall. We're sending them back to your home! Thank you for your hard work in making another thresher!"
"Okay! I'll go back and do it right away!"
Ye Yanan rushed home carrying Xiaojiu.
"What kind of evil wind is this! I'm going to fall to death!"
Shui He was cursing in the ditch when she suddenly heard Ye Yan'an's voice getting closer. She looked at her curves that were faintly visible after being soaked in water, and a smile of success appeared on her face.
It turns out that this evil wind came to help her!
When Ye Yan'an passes by later, he will definitely save her. Then she will be soaking wet when Ye Yan'an picks her up...
The Ye family had to marry her no matter what, right? Why would she need to resort to all sorts of tricks to seduce them?
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Shui He pulled down her wet clothes, revealing a piece of her snow-white neck.
"Brother Yan An!"
Shui He shouted in a sweet voice, but unexpectedly another gust of wind came and blew over a pile of haystacks beside the ditch.
Plop! Bury her completely!
"Strange! Why am I hallucinating again?"
Ye Yan'an rubbed his ears vigorously, carried Xiaojiu across the pile of grass, and walked towards home...
