The next day, at the crack of dawn, Xu Dong and his four companions arrived at Lu Yuan's doorstep to wait for him, along with Lu Guoan.
When the group arrived, Lu Yuan was fast asleep, cuddling his wife!
The group stood outside the gate without knocking, just circling the tractor. Lu Guoan patiently gave them instructions on how to do things, and finally concluded with one sentence: "Listen to Lu Yuan in everything!"
As dawn broke, Lu Yuan finally got up. When he opened the courtyard gate, he saw several people simulating starting a tractor, and his lips twitched.
He looked at Lu Guoan and asked, "Uncle, when did you arrive? Why didn't you knock?"
The other person waved their hand, "It's alright, waiting outside is just as good."
Lu Yuan gestured to the group, "Come inside and have something to eat before you leave."
The group waved their hands repeatedly, saying that in this day and age, every household was short of food, so there was no reason to eat at someone else's house.
"No need, we've already eaten. You can take care of yourself."
That sounds like a lie. The villagers only eat breakfast during the harvest season; otherwise, they don't have the habit of eating three meals a day to save food.
Lu Yuan told his wife to prepare more food and put it on the table, following his words.
“If you’ve eaten, you should eat some too. My wife knew you’d be coming this morning, so she prepared a lot extra. If you don’t eat, we won’t be able to finish it and it will spoil easily.”
The group looked at the table and saw a large bowl of plump white steamed buns, a half bowl of white rice porridge, and several small dishes of side dishes.
They swallowed hard, without even realizing it.
Wen Moxue ladled out several bowls of porridge and greeted them with a smile, "Uncle, please eat up, this was made especially for you."
Since they had already said all that, and it seemed that they had indeed prepared a portion specifically for them, they didn't stand on ceremony any further.
They all expressed their gratitude and were deeply moved, feeling that the couple had been incredibly kind to them, and they were all thinking about how to repay them in the future.
While moved, He Shenghua was also very glad that Wen Moxue had not listened to their advice and had resolutely married Lu Yuan.
I used to think that Wen Moxue was such a good girl, and that marrying Lu Yuan, a country bumpkin, was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, ruining her life. Now I realize how good her judgment was.
After breakfast, the group set off. Lu Yuan carried a large basket on his back, which was full of things. The others were still savoring the delicious meat buns and white rice porridge, and had no time to pay attention to what he was carrying.
Before sitting down at the table, everyone secretly decided to eat less, but once they were at the table, their mouths and hands had their own thoughts. It smelled so good that they couldn't help but eat too much.
"You guys take turns driving, I'll sit in the back."
Lu Yuan placed the basket on the back of the tractor and lightly jumped onto it.
He Shenghua and Lu Jiefang wanted to be modest, but the other three had already rushed towards the lever. Lu Yuanchao was the closest and fastest, and he grabbed the lever to start the tractor.
He grinned and laughed, "Haha, I'll go first."
Xu Dong quickly raised his hand, "I'll be second."
“I’m third,” Sun Maodou followed up.
Lu Jiefang looked at He Shenghua, and seeing that he didn't intend to speak, said, "Then I'll go last."
He was the slowest learner of tractors back then, and he has the least hope today, so it doesn't matter whether he's in the front or the back.
He Shenghua nodded, "Thanks!"
Lu Guoan waved, watched the tractor drive away, and then happily went home with his hands behind his back.
He'll be busy distributing the grain tomorrow!
Driving the tractor to the commune takes less than half an hour, and each of the five people can only drive for a few minutes. But even those few minutes are a rare opportunity to practice, and everyone takes it very seriously.
As soon as the tractor stopped at the entrance of the brick factory, Zhong Quanyong came out with a big tea mug and a smile.
"Little Lu is here!" The tone was familiar and warm.
Lu Yuan jumped out of the car and responded loudly with a smile.
"Yes, Grandpa Zhong, we've come to see you."
"Hehe, you little rascal."
He came to return the tractor, but said he was there to see him. I knew he was just being polite, but it was still nice to hear.
Lu Yuan took out two cleaned wild rabbits from his basket.
“Take a taxi up the mountain, one for you and one for Director Zhong.”
Actually, they were raised in the space. After catching a few big guys and a pair of wild goats and raising them in the space last time, I also caught pheasants and rabbits.
Rabbits reproduce quickly, even faster in enclosed spaces, where the speed of movement is four to five times that outside.
There are now litters of rabbits in the space, probably fifty or sixty in total. It's very convenient to eat rabbits now.
After receiving the rabbit, they also gave me about ten pears.
"Uncle Zhong, I picked this from the very top of the tree. The tree is tall, and the fruit at the top gets the most sun and is the sweetest. I saved it especially for you, so please have a taste."
If his wife were here, she would definitely cover her face. These pears were all taken from his spatial dimension. However, after planting the cores in the spatial dimension, pear trees grew and were transplanted to his private plot.
Hearing him say that, Zhong Quanyong hurriedly put down the wild rabbit he had just picked up, then picked up a pear, wiped it casually on his clothes, and took a bite.
She immediately narrowed her eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Mmm, delicious, this is the sweetest pear I've ever eaten."
Lu Yuan chuckled, "I told you it would be sweet. The one you're eating must be the one that grew to the very top of the branch."
Zhong Quanyong was touched, "Yes, but don't climb so high next time, it's dangerous!"
"I'll pick them for you to eat, I'm not afraid of any danger!"
Zhong Quanyong was almost moved to tears. "Little Lu, thank you so much. If you ever need anything, just come to me."
As she spoke, she stuffed all the money and bills in her pocket into his hand.
Lu Yuan looked at it and saw that there was a large ten-yuan note, as well as two yuan, one yuan and a few mao notes, and several grain coupons.
