When they arrived at the village chief's house, Grandpa Niu carefully recounted everything he had inquired about. After listening, Li Dafu exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Old Niu, do you think I did something wrong?"
Perhaps if he had acted like the village chiefs of other villages back then, following the commune's requirements, it wouldn't be so difficult for him to hire a technician now.
Grandpa Niu immediately glared at him: "Nonsense! If that were the case, many people in our village would have starved to death long ago. How could we be living peacefully like we are now?"
He was also feeling bad, but he still comforted the village chief, saying, "The difficulties are temporary, and we will be able to overcome them."
Li Dafu sighed, "But without technicians, nobody can figure out that thing. There's no one capable in our village who understands it."
"Can I try?"
Just as the two were feeling gloomy and dejected, a voice suddenly appeared.
The village chief was taken aback, and then he saw that the little girl Fan Xiaofan was also in the yard. Li Dafu quickly waved his hand: "Little girl, that thing is not an ordinary farm tool. What if you break it?"
Fan Xiaofan said, "But now, if it can't be used, it's just a pile of scrap metal. I've heard what Uncle Niu said, but who knows when the technicians will be sent down. I used to..."
She wanted to say that she had studied these things before, but Li Dafu still refused her. The tractor was the most precious thing in the village, and Li Dafu couldn't believe that Fan Xiaofan was a young girl who had just settled in the village.
It's such a simple matter to help a homeless girl get a household registration; Li Dafu didn't want to make things difficult for her. But a tractor is an expensive item, and it's not something that can be easily handled.
Fan Xiaofan returned to his little thatched hut dejectedly.
She looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl now, so how could the village chief dare to entrust such an important matter to her carelessly?
After taking a few bites of the bread, Little Lemon's voice rang out: "Host, you must seize this opportunity."
Fan Xiaofan asked with great interest, "But even if I fix the tractor, I can't sell it to the mall, so what's the use?"
The tractor is a treasure in the village; if it were to disappear into thin air, we would be doomed.
The upgrade system was perfected by Xiao Ningmeng, and Fan Xiaofan really didn't know what the benefits were.
Little Lemon immediately replied, "Of course it's useful! You can sell tractor blueprints to the system shop and earn points in return."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaofan's eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "Blueprints can also earn points, then my mind is full of..."
Fan Xiaofan was overjoyed at the thought that he could immediately upgrade the mall to the highest level.
Little Lemon immediately switched to merciless mockery mode: "Host, only blueprints with physical existence can be sold to the mall. Daydreaming is nice, but wake up."
Fan Xiaofan had just sat up excitedly, but after hearing Xiao Ningmeng's words, he immediately lay back down.
The village chief's children are all away from home, having gone to play in the mountains. When they come back, they can bring back some firewood and wild vegetables to ease the burden of food supplies at home.
In the courtyard, the village chief puffed on a cigarette made of straw paper. The tractor was a major concern for him, as it was related to the grain supply.
The village chief's wife was mending clothes. There were many boys in the family, and clothes were a lot of work to make. By the time it was the youngest's turn, the clothes were already tattered and worn out, but she couldn't bear to throw them away. She carefully mended them and they were still wearable.
Watching the old man puff on his cigarette, his brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly, she couldn't help but say, "I don't think Xiao Fan is one to talk big. There's really no other way now..."
