Chapter 121 The Formal Ceremony



Xiao Gengwu's on-site teaching was easy for anyone to understand, especially the tractor driver. Although he couldn't repair it, he had taken apart tractors before when they broke down.

What he lacked was a mentor to guide him. The people from the previous agricultural machinery factory who came to repair things were never willing to show them their skills.

Now, Xiao Gengwu breaks down each part and explains it to him in detail, which is like dissecting and explaining it to him in detail. He immediately understands it.

And the youngest one, knowing that a bad pen is worse than a good memory, had artistic skills and drew pictures of each part, numbered them, and wrote down everything Xiao Gengwu said.

The others were things that you memorized a little bit and I memorized a little bit, but by the time Xiao Gengwu had finished speaking three times, everyone had gained something.

After repeating himself three times, Xiao Gengwu ignored those who wanted to ask more questions and turned around directly. He didn't have the patience for anyone except Yao Tongjia!

As they were heading back to the courtyard, several educated youths walked towards them. One of them, with two shiny braids, looked at Xiao Gengwu with deep affection.

That look in her eyes was so intense, like a hunter eyeing its prey. Yao Tongjia touched her arm and said, "Brother Xiao, look at that woman. The way she looks at you is like you're a big piece of fat pork!"

Xiao Gengwu kept his eyes straight ahead: "Ignore everyone, let's go!"

But how could these educated youths let Xiao Gengwu and his companion leave? Today they're improving the irrigation machine and repairing the tractor, making the educated youths look utterly useless.

The most crucial point is that they are clearly the most educated people in the village, but because of Chu Minxue's shady dealings, they lost the opportunity to take the exam.

If no one has the opportunity, then we can only do farm work and have no other choice but to continue like this. But now there is an opportunity right in front of us, yet we have no chance to participate.

The already arduous and tiring farm work became exceptionally difficult! They were extremely resentful! This was something that should have been done by farmers.

Now things are different. Farmers can take exams and become workers, while those who should have been workers are now forced to toil in the fields.

How unfair this is! They came here today hoping to get the chance to take the exam, even if it means begging.

They pushed each other, none of them willing to be the first to act. Only the girl with the shiny braid seemed unsteady and about to fall onto Xiao Gengwu.

Xiao Gengwu didn't even look at them. When he noticed someone had turned upside down, he reflexively pulled Yao Tongjia to the other side.

The girl with braided hair was convinced that a warm embrace would greet her, and she could then ask him to marry her so she wouldn't have to do any work anymore.

Unfortunately, she was greeted by the soft touch of the earth. It was truly unbelievable when the girl with braided pigtails came into close contact with the earth.

Was he just being evaded? How dare he? How could he bear to do that? After all, she was from Beijing, definitely a thousand times, a hundred times better than the girl next to him!

Yao Tongjia: "......" Please don't mention me!

The girl wasn't afraid of losing face, and said in a gentle voice, "Brother Xiao, it hurts, can you help me?"

Yao Tongjia chuckled: "Sister, how old are you this year? And you still call me Brother Xiao?"

This girl looks to be at least twenty years old, while Xiao Gengwu is not even an adult yet, and she's already calling him "Brother Xiao" without any shame!

The girl blushed deeply after Yao Tongjia's words and struggled to stand up, but Xiao Gengwu quickly pulled Yao Tongjia back, saying, "Let's go back quickly!"

Mom! The outside world is so scary, he just wants to hide in the yard!

As soon as Xiao Yan stepped off the operating table, she sneezed violently. Yue Ling said with concern, "You should go back and rest. You've been exhausted these past two days! I'll take care of things!"

Xiao Yan was certain she didn't have a cold: "I wonder if that brat is talking about me!"

Yao Tongjia readily agreed and walked back to the courtyard together: "Brother Xiao, your peach blossom luck is really good!"

"They're all rotten suitors, they stink! Go back and hide in the yard. If anything happens in the future, tell them to come to the yard to find us! Next time you ask me to come out, make sure they manage their people properly!"

Rarely hearing Xiao Gengwu speak so much, Yao Tongjia asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you scared? Do you want them to clear the area for you?"

"Yes! Get everyone to work. I believe the captain can do it!"

Thinking of the village chief and brigade leader's fawning expressions, Yao Tongjia nodded: "They'll definitely do whatever you ask, but are you willing to give it up? There are girls chasing after you!"

"What do you mean by being willing or unwilling? If you were to treat me like this, I wouldn't be willing!"

Xiao Gengwu smiled, his eyes fixed on Yao Tongjia. Yao Tongjia pushed him away, saying, "You're just handsome, but you want to be beautiful!"

These words made Xiao Gengwu burst out laughing, a laugh as warm as spring flowers in bloom. Yao Tongjia laughed and scolded, "You devil! No wonder people wanted to get closer!"

"Wrong! They didn't come because of me, or because of my appearance; they came because of the job at the watering can factory."

"So no matter if I'm an old man in my fifties or sixties, or incredibly ugly, they'll still flock to me! It's all about self-interest!"

Yao Tongjia knew this was the case, and immediately lost the will to mock him: "Shall we go back today?"

Xiao Gengwu was about to get water to wash his hands when he said, "You can't use this soap yet, right? Why don't you wait until they're dry before going back? Didn't you bring your textbook? I can teach you!"

"Don't you want to go back? You can leave the soap here, we're not in a hurry to use it anyway!" Yao Tongjia asked curiously! Actually, she didn't care whether to live in the county or the countryside.

She mainly dislikes people visiting without permission.

"Could it be because that girl was pretty?" Yao Tongjia asked casually.

"I think the most beautiful person in the world is you!" Xiao Gengwu suddenly said something surprising. Luckily, Yao Tongjia hadn't drunk any water, or she would have choked to death.

"What kind of monster are you? Give my Brother Xiao back!" Yao Tongjia joked. Xiao Gengwu looked around and, seeing no one, simply took Yao Tongjia's hand.

Yao Tongjia's hand was suddenly pulled, and she couldn't say anything else!

"Do you still want to observe the watering machine? Or do you want to see if they can repair tractors?" Xiao Gengwu immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing Yao Tongjia's words.

Actually, he just liked the time he spent alone with Yao Tongjia. When they went to the county, whether it was at school or at home, there were always people following them. He just didn't like Yao Tongjia's attention being taken away.

He liked it when Yao Tongjia looked up from her book and saw only him, and he could look up at her and smile without any reservations.

Just like now, when he wanted to hold her hand, he could do it without having to explain to anyone!

The previous wedding seems to have been forgotten, but so be it. That kind of ceremony last time was too unfair to Yao Tongjia. He will give her a proper wedding in the future!

Xiao Gengwu thought to himself!
