Erhua didn't expect that after being robbed of his money last time, he would suffer another setback in his life so soon.
The previous chapter said that Erhua finally started the tractor, and his self-esteem, which was about to be destroyed, was finally restored.
He thought: Sure enough, a tractor is not that difficult to drive.
At this moment, he has naturally transitioned from driving a tractor which is very easy to drive to driving a tractor which is not very difficult to drive. I believe everyone can appreciate the subtle difference between the two.
"Erhua, take a break. The sun is almost setting. Come and have some ginger and salt tea. Don't get too hot!"
Sun Ada advised Erhua to take a break, but he didn't expect that he would be so enthusiastic about learning.
Erhua drank a large cup of tea, wiped his mouth and said, "Uncle, it's better to study when the sun goes down. It's not so hot anymore."
Well, the young man is full of energy, so we should strike while the iron is hot.
Erhua and Sun Ada sat together in the driving seat of the tractor and listened to his detailed explanation of the methods and tricks of driving a tractor.
Driving a tractor requires the use of both eyes and hands. The accelerator pedal, speed regulation, turning, and braking system are basically all operated by both hands.
Because tractors have low speeds and there were few other vehicles on the road in that era, safety was relatively high. The key issues were turning and connection.
"When turning gently, you should turn early and hit slowly, with less hitting and less return; when turning sharply, you should turn late and hit quickly, with more hitting and more return."
Erhua listened carefully and nodded from time to time. Sun Ada's operations were really dazzling!
"Come down quickly, it's time for dinner!"
Auntie greeted them and said that dinner was already on the table, waiting for them to wash their faces and come to the table to eat.
"Uncle, you go first, I'll turn off the fire."
Erhua was obviously not satisfied. He just listened to Sun Ada's explanation but didn't get to touch it himself.
"Okay." Sun Ada thought that the tractor had been parked and the only thing left to do was to turn off the engine. He thought that Erhua must find it novel and exciting at the moment, so he let him do it. As long as he didn't start it, there would be no problem.
But Erhua was a brave man. As soon as Sun Ada left, he thought about trying it himself, so he gave it a try.
Erhua thought that if he just drove straight for a few meters, he would be successful today.
He sat seriously, holding the handle and looking ahead, and he really had the strength of a master.
The tractor, which was obedient and flexible in Sun Ada's hands, started to act unruly when it came to Erhua.
The tractor started slowly with a rumble. Erhua held the handrail tightly and felt his whole body was a little stiff.
It moved, it moved forward!
Excitement also surged up, Erhua breathed a sigh of relief, a drop of sweat flowed down his forehead, passed through the thick eyebrows, jumped down and hung on his eyelashes.
For a moment, the view was obstructed.
"Tsk." Erhua blamed the sweat for coming at the wrong time. He quickly used one hand to wipe away the annoying sweat bead.
At that moment, the tractor twisted uncontrollably like a wild dog with its head lassoed.
"Oh no! It's broken!"
Sun Ada had just finished washing his face when he noticed that the sound of the tractor was still there, and he immediately rushed out in a hurry.
It was too late. Both the plane and the people on board had already overturned to the side.
When Tang Sannan and Luo Zhen arrived at the hospital entrance, Erhua was limping out.
"Erhua, what's wrong with your leg?"
Tang Sannan's heart tightened. Luo Zhen's leg had always been a source of worry for him. Now that he saw Erhua in the same state, he naturally thought of the worst.
"Oh, it's okay, don't be nervous." Liang Genfa accompanied Erhua to the hospital and was holding medicine in his hand.
Erhua had several abrasions on his arms and legs, especially on his right knee. His pants were torn and had blood marks on them. The wounds had just been cleaned and coated with mercurochrome.
Luo Zhen was frightened by Erhua's miserable appearance. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hey, Senior Sister, don't cry, I'm fine, really fine, just a little skin broken."
In order to prove his words, Erhua turned around in a circle again, but the funny way he limped around made Luo Zhen even more sad.
Erhua said he wanted to learn how to use a tractor and I didn’t stop him. Now, he’s just like me!
She knew that Erhua learned to drive a tractor for the sake of her father and herself, and it was also because of her being indifferent to him these days.
"Let me see."
Luo Zhen pulled Erhua over and looked at every wound carefully. Every wound was rubbed bloody and bloody. She was frightened every time she looked at it. When she saw the right knee, she burst into tears.
"What should I do now? Can you still walk? It's all because of me... because of me, you..."
"Senior sister, how can I blame you for this? I wanted to learn how to drive a tractor."
Erhua spoke in a relaxed tone and even joked: "If my leg were lame, that would be perfect. Senior Sister wouldn't look down on me anymore."
This time Luo Zhen cried even harder, squeezing his hand hard and saying:
"Will you really become lame? That's impossible! I don't dislike you. How could I dislike you?"
Late at night, the hospital entrance was deserted. Tang Sannan had already dragged Liang Genfa somewhere to smoke a cigarette.
Erhua looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he excitedly shook Luo Zhen's hand. The light was dim, which made Luo Zhen look even more beautiful.
"Master...Luo...Luo Zhen."
The person in front of me had tears in her eyes. She nodded continuously as she listened to Erhua's soft call.
Erhua was greatly encouraged, and a fire ignited in his chest, ready to burn the dark night clean away.
"Stop ignoring me..."
"How could I ignore you..."
Her nostrils trembled slightly, and every breath she took was on Erhua's heart. Her mouth opened and closed, and every word she said made him hold his breath and listen.
“You have! You have!
Yes, you talk to me every day, I ask questions and you answer them, it’s really like a senior sister to a junior brother.
But I don’t want to be just your junior apprentice, you know my feelings…”
Luo Zhen had already burst into tears, and her slightly trembling body made Erhua feel distressed.
"Even now, or in the future, if someone mocks you, I will go up and punch them. It's not that I can't bear their ridicule, but I don't want you to bear it.
I beg you..."
There are no stars tonight, and a few careless fireflies have come into view. Their little glow is far less fascinating than Erhua's eyes sparkling with tears.
Luo Zhen sniffed, wiped away her tears, and let out a breath.
"Okay, I believe you. Nothing in life is guaranteed. I'll be a gambler today and place a bet next time.
If there ever comes a day when I lose, I will accept the loss!"
Erhua was stunned, then suddenly squatted down with his hands covering his face. After a moment, he suddenly stood up again, ecstatic.
"How could I bear to let you lose!"
