If Mo Yuan can indeed complete a series of operations so skillfully and easily solve the problems he encounters, then Lao Zhou might seriously doubt his own understanding.
Could this Mo Yuan truly be born with innate knowledge? How could there be such a gifted person in the world? For Lao Zhou, a staunch believer in materialism, this would undoubtedly be a huge upheaval.
Fortunately, Mo Yuan hasn't reached that level yet. Although he's very familiar with disassembling equipment, he's not good at repairing actual malfunctions.
This was mainly because Mo Yuan possessed a wealth of theoretical knowledge; he had carefully studied many blueprints. After purchasing these devices, he specifically selected the relevant blueprints from his mind and studied them repeatedly until he knew them by heart.
Therefore, he had a thorough understanding of the structure of certain devices. However, this knowledge remained merely theoretical; despite his rich theoretical knowledge, his practical skills needed improvement.
Even so, this was enough to surprise Lao Zhou.
He initially thought he had discovered a rare genius. For Lao Zhou, who had dedicated most of his life to education, this was a dream come true. He was quite excited, almost like someone who had just found a rare talent!
So Lao Zhou began his performance, fully demonstrating his outstanding teaching skills. Using the motor that Mo Yuan had disassembled as an example, he explained its working principle in detail to Mo Yuan and another person, pointing out the parts that might malfunction and the corresponding repair methods.
The atmosphere became very harmonious, as if one were in a university classroom. This feeling made Lao Zhou feel somewhat dazed, as if he had returned to his university days, imparting knowledge under the watchful eyes of many students.
Mo Yuan and the other person both showed great enthusiasm for learning. They listened attentively to Lao Zhou's explanation, afraid of missing any detail. Unlike Mo Yuan, the other person did not have such noble motives, but had a simple and honest idea—to learn more skills and master more abilities so that he could gain a firm foothold in the factory, and even possibly make a name for himself in the future with this skill.
After all, Lao Zhou's outstanding performance in the factory had made everyone envious.
So, Old Zhou became more and more enthusiastic as he lectured, especially when he encountered a bright student like Mo Yuan who could apply what he learned to new situations. He felt very excited and satisfied. Mo Yuan could not only quickly understand and master the knowledge that Old Zhou imparted, but also quickly apply it to real-world situations and ask insightful questions. This made Old Zhou very gratified, because such a student was truly rare.
Mo Yuan's questions were always perfectly timed, making Lao Zhou feel refreshed and invigorated. Their conversations were full of wisdom and inspiration, as if they were in the atmosphere of an academic discussion. Lao Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, "This young man is truly a genius!" As time went on, Lao Zhou became increasingly dedicated to imparting his experience and skills to Mo Yuan, who absorbed this valuable knowledge like a sponge.
Because Mo Yuan showed a strong interest and enthusiasm for learning mechanical repair, Lao Zhou decided to change his attitude towards him. He became stricter, requiring Mo Yuan to do more than just listen and observe; he demanded that Mo Yuan practice personally. Lao Zhou hoped to deepen Mo Yuan's understanding and skills in mechanical repair through hands-on experience.
Mo Yuan readily accepted Lao Zhou's request and actively participated in the actual repair work. Whenever he encountered problems or confusion, he would not hesitate to ask Lao Zhou for advice. Lao Zhou would patiently answer his questions and provide detailed guidance and suggestions. Through continuous attempts and mistakes, Mo Yuan gradually accumulated rich experience and improved his problem-solving abilities.
After several days of hard work, Mo Yuan was able to independently repair some small motors. His technical skills improved significantly, and his confidence grew accordingly. He realized that only through hands-on practice could he truly master the essence of mechanical repair. Now, he no longer needed Lao Zhou's help and could handle various complex malfunctions on his own.
Mo Yuan was deeply moved. He understood that without Lao Zhou's guidance and support, he could not have made such great progress. He was grateful for Lao Zhou's meticulous guidance and expressed his willingness to continue learning more techniques and experience from him.
I never expected to stumble upon such a gem. If nothing unusual had happened, how could such an outstanding university professor have appeared before me? And personally tutoring me one-on-one! He even helped me with those dirty and tiring tasks. It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
His stage should have been in the wider university classrooms, on the podium, cultivating more professionals. However, Mo Yuan knew in his heart that this situation would soon change.
The vast majority of people have been exonerated and returned to the city smoothly. Old Zhou's case probably belongs to the later batch. Judging by the timeline, it shouldn't be too long.
Therefore, he decided to seize this time and learn diligently from Lao Zhou. Even setting aside Lao Zhou's professional knowledge, he was a wise elder, and for Mo Yuan, this was a rare opportunity.
Therefore, all he could do was to learn as much as possible in the limited time he had, while also taking good care of the two of them, which could be considered as repaying Lao Zhou's kindness in teaching him.
Their time working at the oil mill was far from easy, often requiring them to engage in strenuous physical labor. If it weren't for a later equipment malfunction that left everyone helpless, and Old Zhou's expertise in repairing the equipment, their difficult situation would have remained unchanged.
The factory manager expressed his gratitude and took good care of them, even arranging a dormitory for them. However, long-term fatigue, malnutrition, and a bad mood left the two extremely weak.
Not to mention that Old Zhou's wife, Teacher Zhao, is in very poor health, Old Zhou himself is also dark-skinned and thin; if it weren't for the glasses on his nose...
There's absolutely no indication that this person is a highly knowledgeable university professor!
Mo Yuan still remembers the look in the couple's eyes when they first saw noodles, even though plain noodles were now a very common food in Mo Yuan's family.
However, the fact that the two of them almost lost their composure while eating allowed Mo Yuan to understand what had happened between them!
All Mo Yuan could do during this time was to make sure they ate and drank well, take good care of their health, and hope that they could enjoy a relaxing and pleasant time in Xiao Mo Village.
