After entertaining and seeing off the guests, the team leader directly announced the results of the selection of tractor drivers. As expected, Lin Mingyue was elected.
Anyone who saw it at the drying yard in the afternoon was not surprised by the result at all. Even those who didn't go to the drying yard had heard about it from those who had returned.
In order not to delay everyone's production, the team leader announced the selection results directly on the radio and even gave half an hour for rebuttal, as long as anyone disagreed and had reasons and evidence.
The tractor driver will make a new choice.
But after half an hour no one expressed any negative opinion.
No one in the team has Lin Mingyue's ability. She can not only drive a tractor, but also repair it.
Any brigade that has such a capable person would be a hot commodity, so why would they disagree? What's more, Lin Mingyue and his daughter are poor peasants of good family background, and there is no problem with their status.
Even if someone is dissatisfied, they cannot point out any mistakes.
Half an hour later, Lin Mingyue put down his work in the fields and went to the brigade headquarters to completely confirm his identity as a tractor driver.
The team leader repeated to her the salary and work matters.
Lin Mingyue had heard it clearly before and had no objection at all.
Just as he was about to leave, the team leader stopped him and said, "One more thing. Can't you repair this tractor? I see that other teams usually have to find someone to repair this tractor when it breaks down."
"Having you in our brigade has saved us a lot of trouble. Don't worry, there are extra subsidies for repairing the tractor, but we don't have the tickets anymore. You can give us money, but you know our brigade doesn't have much money. It's not much, just a token of my appreciation."
Paying money is a small matter. If the tractor breaks down, you have to beg for help and find connections to ask a mechanic to fix it. You also have to provide him with good food and drink. Even then, the mechanic may not be able to fix it for you.
The captain now believed without hesitation that An Jingzhi had taught Lin Mingyue how to drive a tractor using a book in advance.
The matter of repairing the tractor should not be fake, as he still has great trust in the character of Lin Mingyue and her daughter.
Lin Mingyue didn't expect such unexpected income, and nodded in agreement without hesitation. After making sure that the captain had nothing else to do, she turned around and left.
I immediately ran home to share the good news with An Jingzhi.
"This is what you deserve. You haven't slept at night and have to work during the day for most of the past half month. Thank you for your hard work." An Jingzhi said.
The more powerful his meal ticket is, the more comfortable he lies.
Lin Mingyue was moved and hugged An Jingzhi and said, "If it weren't for your help, how could I have learned it?"
"I know, you're just a burden physically, otherwise this tractor driver position would definitely be yours."
An Jingzhi sighed pretending to be weak and looked at Lin Mingyue with relief. "It doesn't matter. As long as you are well, I'm happy."
Lin Mingyue was moved and made a bold statement, "Don't worry, I will work hard to earn more money and tickets to keep you fat and healthy!"
An Jingzhi also nodded with emotion, indicating that he would definitely wait.
Within a day, matters concerning the Lin family became the front-page headlines of the brigade again, not just the fact that Lin Mingyue defeated the young men in the brigade to be elected as the tractor.
Whether An Jingzhi has real ability has also become a controversial topic.
Lin Mingyue made a bold statement, but didn't stay at home for long before she immediately ran out of the house to start her first day as a tractor driver.
Everyone was envious when they saw Lin Mingyue sitting in the driver's seat of the tractor, driving the tractor majestically and working in the fields.
"I didn't expect Mingyue to have such a great skill."
"What good skills? Didn't she say it was taught to her by An Jingzhi?" Aunt Qiu said with a pout.
"An Jingzhi can even train his wife to be a tractor driver, but what about your son-in-law? Is he still at home preparing to run for the position of teacher in our brigade?" The third grandmother teased.
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
People are afraid of comparison.
In the past, both of them were sons-in-law who were looked down upon by everyone in the team, but now everyone's impression of An Jingzhi has completely changed.
Everyone in the team unanimously felt that An Jingzhi was a man of real skills and abilities. If he had no skills, could he teach people to drive a tractor with just a book?
It's just that I'm really weak.
He can't work because he hasn't fully recovered from an illness he contracted in his early years. It's not that he really wants to be lazy, but this son-in-law of Aunt Qiu's is really useless and arrogant.
Aunt Qiu was upset by everyone's laughter and said with a blank face, "If you keep chatting, I will report you for being lazy!"
Everyone glared at Aunt Qiu. "Why are you like that? We talked, but it didn't interfere with our work!"
"You're unhappy at home, so you come here to vent your anger? If you have the guts, go ahead and tell us! We'll see who will pay attention to you from now on."
Aunt Qiu was filled with anger and stopped talking. She just focused on her work, her mind in a mess.
She returned home with a gloomy face, and seeing her useless son-in-law looking at her with guilty eyes, Aunt Qiu became more and more angry.
"I don't know what you are waiting for when you cook. Every day you just sit there and wait for food and clothes to be served. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are a rich young master from somewhere." Aunt Qiu said in a sarcastic tone.
Her son-in-law's face turned grim after hearing what she said, and he clenched his fists hanging at his sides.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Don't think I don't know. I asked you to cook before, and you coaxed my daughter into doing it for you! If I didn't tell you, would you really think my wife is blind?!"
"Look at which family has a live-in son-in-law like you? He's just like you, not doing much housework, but he's capable of having his wife be a tractor driver. What about you? Besides bullying my daughter, what else do you have?"
"Mom, what's wrong?" It happened that Aunt Qiu's daughter walked in from outside the courtyard gate. After hearing this, she hurriedly walked to her man nervously and asked Aunt Qiu cautiously.
"What else? I found you a live-in son-in-law so that you can enjoy life, not to serve the old man. If I see you helping him with work in the future, don't blame me for being rude as a mother."
Her daughter is easily influenced, and her son-in-law is poor, arrogant, and incompetent. Aunt Qiu feels that if she doesn't speak more sternly, she may not know what her life will be like in the future.
"Mom, Mingfa didn't have time to do it because he was busy preparing for the exam." Aunt Qiu's daughter defended herself.
Aunt Qiu said with a cold expression, "I don't care what he's busy with. Anyway, don't let me forget a single thing I'm supposed to do, or get out!"
After saying that, she told her to hurry up and cook, then turned and left, not wanting to see her miserable daughter's useless look again.
Aunt Qiu's daughter watched her mother leave before carefully comforting Li Mingfa, "My mother didn't mean it, don't take it to heart."
Li Ming had a cold face and pulled out his arm, his eyes filled with disdain. "Hurry up and cook."
