With his wife pregnant, Lu Yuan was practically floating on air, radiating joy.
Anyone could tell he was in a good mood.
"Hey kid, what's the good news?"
Lu Guoan came to him to ask about the job at the brick factory. When he arrived, he was beaming with joy, which meant something good had happened.
Lu Yuan was about to say that he was going to be a father, but then he remembered Old Liu's advice and changed the subject, "Hehe, isn't it because the harvest is over that I don't have to work in the fields anymore? I'm so happy!"
"You little rascal, you're so happy about not working?"
"That's natural."
"Alright, you said you'd take them to the brick factory to see the work, when are you going?"
Lu Yuan slapped his forehead; in his excitement, he had almost forgotten about it.
"I'll go tomorrow."
Now that the harvest is over and the grain has been delivered, we need to return the tractor tomorrow and finalize the job arrangements while we're at it.
Lu Guoan rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Okay, I'll go and inform the five of them right now and tell them to get ready."
Although this nephew is a bit lazy, he's reliable and still worth keeping.
Not long after the captain left, the Lu brothers, Xu Dong, Sun Maodou, and He Shenghua arrived together.
They were naturally there to ask the brick and tile factory about needing tractor drivers.
As soon as Sun Maodou came over, he rushed towards him and asked loudly, "A Yuan, I heard from the brigade leader that you introduced me to a job as a tractor driver at the brick factory, is that true? Thank you so much!"
Lu Yuan quickly reached out to stop him, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm, "It's fake."
Sun Maodou was stunned, frozen in place. "Huh? It's fake?"
He instantly wilted, a stark contrast to the cheerful person who had been jumping around just moments before.
Lu Yuan was already in a good mood, and seeing him like this made him even happier.
"Yeah, it's fake."
"Even the battalion commander would make fun of me. Who can I complain to?"
Lu Yuan: "The factory manager only told me to bring the five people from our village who know how to drive tractors so he could choose them himself, but he didn't say he would definitely choose you."
The listless person instantly became fully energized again.
"Haha, yes, yes, that's what the captain said just now. I know I might not be chosen, but I'm happy that you didn't leave me out."
The others standing to the side were just like him; they were happy whenever they had the chance.
"Thank you, Comrade Lu."
He Shenghua really didn't expect that he would get such an opportunity. Two of the five people were his relatives, one was his best brother, and the other was a local from the village. Logically speaking, he could have just designated any of them to be introduced to the factory, but he didn't. Instead, he gave all five people a fair chance to compete. This was rare and showed great righteousness.
"No need to thank me. I'm just making a recommendation. Whether you stay or not depends on your own abilities. Let me make it clear beforehand: no matter who stays at the brick factory this time, the other four shouldn't feel resentful. The opportunity is equal for everyone."
The five men nodded repeatedly and offered their assurances.
"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, whether we get selected or not, we're happy and grateful for your help," Xu Dong said.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, there will definitely be more opportunities like this in the future. Once we learn the skills, we won't be afraid of not being able to use them."
He wasn't just making empty promises; he genuinely believed that such opportunities would come again, and even if they didn't, he would create them.
Upon hearing his words, the five became even more excited. If Lu Yuan had said this before, they would have thought he was just bragging, but now they knew he was capable and that his words were not unfounded.
After the initial excitement came nervousness; I have an interview tomorrow, my first time ever.
Lu Yuan was overjoyed at becoming a father for the first time (even though the child was still an egg in his belly, he had automatically elevated his status). In his happiness, he didn't mind telling the others a few more things to pay attention to during the interview.
The group benefited greatly from the experience, and He Shenghua was once again impressed by him, not expecting that he even knew these things.
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, seeing that the others showed no sign of leaving, he had a sudden thought and called out into the house.
"Wife, are those fruit trees we dug up from the mountain behind the house still alive? If they are, I'll plant them later."
I've been saying for a long time that I wanted to transplant the plum tree out of the space, but I haven't done it yet. Instead, I've cultivated quite a few other fruit trees in the space.
Wen Moxue immediately understood and replied with a smile, "I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, he walked towards the back of the house.
They came out quickly, and "the fruit trees are still alive."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "Do as you please, I'm going to plant fruit trees."
The five of them immediately followed.
"Let's go help."
Lu Yuan's lips curled slightly; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Lu Yuanchao asked curiously, "Brother Yuan, why plant fruit trees at this time of year? Will they even survive?"
"My wife wanted to eat fruit, so I went to the mountain and dug up some fruit trees. We'll only know if they can be planted after we try."
When the group arrived at the back of the house and saw the fruit trees, their eyelids twitched violently.
It has all the common fruit trees, such as pear trees, apple trees, plum trees, persimmon trees, orange trees, and even jujube trees, walnut trees, and chestnut trees.
Some of the trees were already bearing fruit, and they even dug up those trees, which they found quite impressive.
I just don't know if these trees will survive if planted.
However, they admired Lu Yuan quite a bit for finding so many fruit trees on the mountain, which they had never seen before.
The group carried the tree to their private plot and were stunned to see the thriving vegetable garden.
Weren't these vegetables planted just over two weeks ago? How come they're growing so well already?
Cucumbers, pumpkins, tomatoes, loofahs, green beans, cowpeas, and other vegetables are all ripe, and it's a bumper harvest.
Everyone praised the vegetable garden for being well-grown.
Lu Yuan praised them in return, saying, "It's because you planted them well."
