Chapter 25 People Who Can't Be Kept



Fan Xiaofan had already taken out the prepared blueprints. Li Dafu hurriedly rubbed his hands together and carefully picked them up to look at them.

But he couldn't see anything wrong either, so Fan Xiaofan explained: "These tractors nowadays, when they need external help, are very prone to the same problem of running out of oil in the tracks that happened last time, so they can't start. After this modification, the fuel consumption is lower and it's easier to start."

Li Dafu's eyes lit up as he listened. This meant that there wouldn't be as many problems as before, and that low fuel consumption meant that their previous investment in expensive engine oil would be lower. This would be a real benefit for every household.

"Will this work?"

His eyes were now fixed on the blueprint, clearly looking at a gold nugget with the same fascination.

Fan Xiaofan nodded affirmatively. This matter should be handled sooner rather than later, and Li Dafu immediately decided to make arrangements for tomorrow.

After Fan Xiaofan left, the village chief sighed. His wife asked curiously, "Why are you sighing?"

Li Dafu took a drag on his cigarette and sighed deeply: "Although I don't know what this girl's background is, with her abilities, we can't keep her... Keeping her here would be a waste of talent. With the country building up, we should all contribute. I don't know what kind of family could raise a child like her... What a pity, what a pity, we can't keep her..."

He pondered this matter in his heart. If it could be accomplished, and it was reported to the county, it would surely attract the attention of the county. At that time, it would probably be time for the young girl to leave.

The village chief's wife laughed and said, "What's the big deal? It's good karma. We'll have an acquaintance in the future, so we won't have to run around like we used to for trivial matters."

Fan Xiaofan was unaware that the village chief was already thinking about how to prevent her talents from being forgotten and was considering promoting her to a higher level.

People of this era have just experienced some things and, more than ever, want to use all their strength to make their country stronger.

In Fan Xiaofan's hands, the tractor became like mud that a child could knead and shape at will, and it was soon dismantled into pieces.

Li Daquan watched enviously from the side, not daring to make a sound to disturb him. He just silently took notes, wanting to learn more, but no matter how smart he was, he couldn't keep up with Fan Xiaofan's speed.

He looked completely bewildered after a while.

Fan Xiaofan noticed Li Daquan's burning gaze, paused in her movements, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you want to learn?"

Li Daquan's eyes immediately lit up. He was always considered a smart person by others, someone who knew how to get things done. Although he was illiterate, he secured his position as the only driver in the Xiangyang Brigade by relying on his ability to learn through trial and error.

Is that alright?

Traditionally, when it comes to learning skills, most people believe that teaching a disciple will lead to the master's starvation, so they are generally unwilling to teach others. If someone wants to learn a skill, they don't know how long they would have to humbly serve the master.

But now Fan Xiaofan actually wants to teach him, and Li Daquan is so happy that he doesn't know which way is up.

Fan Xiaofan chuckled: "Of course, it's thanks to everyone's kindness that I've been able to settle down here for the time being. But as for these skills, it depends on how much you can digest..."

Next, she slowed down her movements, not only telling Li Daquan what each part was and what its function was while assembling, but also answering Li Daquan's questions.

Although Li Daquan was illiterate, he was very clever and soon figured out most of the parts.
