She really doesn't care what others think or guess. Her life is her own, and she can't live if she cares too much about what others think.
"Ye Zi, do you want to learn how to drive a tractor and become a tractor driver in the village?" The team leader blurted out this sentence as he touched the front of the tractor to the back.
If it were any other girl, the captain would definitely not ask this question. After all, people of this era are still very conservative and think that such a difficult job as driving should be done by men.
But Ye Zi is different. Not to mention that the tractor could be delivered to the village, it was all thanks to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi is more capable than many strong laborers in the village, not to mention that he is a rare high school student. Only an educated person like Ye Zi can open such a precious thing.
Chen Ye quickly shook his head: "I can learn to drive a tractor, but forget about being a tractor driver. You should find a few good young men in the village to learn from you. You can use your skills when things get busy."
"Really? Don't worry about what others think. Our village can't get this tractor without you. Just tell me what you really think."
This tractor was obtained by the person's father, so the person's daughter should be the tractor driver. Besides, this is such an enviable job that no one else can do it.
"Uncle Zheng, when have I ever pretended to be someone you're not? I can learn how to drive, but you can't really ask me to be a tractor driver."
"You know I love the mountains. If I really became a tractor driver, I wouldn't dare leave the village all day. What if there's an emergency and I can't find a tractor driver? What will happen?"
"Have you really thought about it?" He was afraid that Chen Ye would refuse out of concern. This job was so good. So many people were trying their best to do it but never had the chance.
"I've really thought about it. Choose two people in the village with good character and send them to the agricultural machinery station to learn how to drive a tractor. It would be best if they could also learn how to repair it. That way, if you have any small problems, you won't have to go out and ask for help."
"Then do you have a suitable candidate?" Tractor Zheng Bing always felt unsure about the arrangements.
Chen Ye shook his head. "The tractor has been given to the village. It's the village's property. I have no say in the matter."
"It's up to you, sir. The tractor has been delivered, so we'll go back first. It's almost time for dinner." Chen Ye planned to leave quickly, as if the tractor was her private property.
Cen Zixiang saw Chen Ye's eyes and laughed and said, "That's right. Now that we have entered the village, it's our village's things. It's up to you to decide what to do. We have walked back and forth once, and now we're going back to rest."
Zheng Bing was satisfied. He was also really afraid that if he got the tractor back, there would be more people giving orders, and it would be difficult to manage it.
"Alright then. I'll give you two days off. Go back and have a good rest. You must be exhausted from the autumn harvest."
Cen Zixiang grinned and bargained, "Four days, is that okay? A friend of mine is getting married in the city, and I'd like to take Ye Zi there to meet her. Two days isn't enough time."
"My third uncle also asked me to take my younger sister to the city to do some shopping. There aren't many good things in our county, so it's a good opportunity to do this at the same time."
When Zheng Bing saw Cen Zixiang's attitude, he knew that the other party didn't take his test seriously. That's good, that's good. After all, this thing was given to him for free, so he couldn't be so ungrateful.
He laughed and scolded, "You little brats are so unstable and just want to play all day. Okay, I'll give you four days off this time, but don't exceed that by much. Come to me tonight to get a letter of introduction."
"Thank you. I'll come see you tonight. I'll take my little sister back first."
Zheng Bing waved his hand and ignored them, then started shouting, "Look, but don't touch it. If you break it, I don't think any of you can afford to pay for it."
"Captain, was this tractor really obtained by Ye Zi's biological father?"
"How could that be false? I would say this person is kind-hearted. Look, he's getting the reward."
"Really?"
Zheng Bing rolled his eyes at the person asking the question: "I would like to give money, do you think our village can afford it?"
"Hehehe, this feels like a dream. Captain, what kind of family does Ye Zi's dad have? This tractor is such an expensive thing, how can you just give it away like that?"
"How would I know? We just need to know that they have done us a favor. We shouldn't worry about anything else."
"You're right. We just need to treat Ye Zi better in the future. Who would have thought that Ye Zi, a girl who grew up like a cabbage, would have such a powerful father."
"Alright, alright, everyone, disperse. Watch the kids and don't touch them. If they break, all your work points will be deducted. Someone, get the tractor back to the warehouse. It's not safe to leave it outside."
Zheng Bing shouted several times but no one stood up: "What's going on? Come over here and find someone who can drive a tractor. Send the tractor to the warehouse and put it there."
The villagers who were gathered around looked at each other in confusion: "Captain, who in our village do you think can drive this?"
Zheng Bing choked. He was careless. How could he forget that this high-end thing was different from the old cow in the village. It couldn't be moved by just a whip.
"What should I do then?"
"Let's find Cen Zhiqing and the others. No one else knows how to drive a tractor."
"Here he comes, here he comes. I see it's Gao Zhiqing coming over. Cen Zhiqing can drive a tractor, so Gao Zhiqing can too, right?"
There was no logic in what he said, but he was right. Several people were walking towards home, and halfway through, Chen Ye suddenly remembered that the tractor was parked at the entrance of the village.
For the villagers, such valuable things certainly cannot be left there, but is there anyone in the village who can drive a tractor?
So he quickly asked his fourth brother to come back and move the tractor to a safe place first, so that the team leader wouldn't have to come over to look for someone later.
Boss Cen Zixiang was unhappy. He was driving a tractor back from the county town, and the road conditions were very bad. He was so tired that his arms were shaking, and he didn't want to drive the tractor for a while.
He directly put his arm on Gao Fei's shoulder and said, "Brother, the time has come to witness our friendship. Go back and move the tractor. I will go back with Ye Zi first to see what we have for dinner."
Gao Fei pulled away Cen Zixiang's arm: "Okay, okay, I can't go anymore. I want to eat meat tonight." He really couldn't stand Cen Zixiang's occasional stickiness, and he got goosebumps.
"Eat, eat, eat. Just eat meat. I'll make plenty of meat for you." Cen Zixiang was coaxing a child.
This is the whole process of Gao Fei's return.
The captain was delighted when he saw Gao Fei: "Gao Zhiqing, are you back to move the tractor?"
"Yes, I'm thinking that the young people in our village haven't gone to study yet, so I'll do you a favor. Please quickly select someone to go and study. We can't just leave the tractor here unused."
