In the days that followed, Lu Yuan used the opportunity of driving the tractor back to the village every night to teach Xu Dong and the others how to drive the tractor.
Later, the villagers heard about this, and Sun Maodou, He Shenghua, and some other young men from the village came to listen in.
Lu Yuan didn't care about them. Listening was fine, and he would answer any questions they had, but he wouldn't give them hands-on demonstrations like Xu Dong and the others did.
As he expected, Wen Moxue was the first to learn how to drive a tractor.
She has some basic driving skills. Although tractors and cars are different, with different operating positions and structures, the basic operation is similar.
Wen Moxue was able to drive the tractor away in just three days.
This was a huge blow to the group of young men.
Lu Yuan also mocked, "Shameful, so shameful! A bunch of grown men and not one of them can compare to my wife. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Xu Dong and the others naturally felt embarrassed and were annoyed that they were too stupid.
It looks easy to understand at first glance, but it's impossible to do it properly once you start.
Diligence can make up for lack of talent.
In order not to embarrass themselves further, the group studied with all their might.
After that, when Lu Yuan went to the commune in the morning, they followed him and studied diligently.
After arriving at the commune, they walked back.
In the afternoon, they went to the commune again and returned to the village with Lu Yuan.
This way, you can have an extra hour or so of study time each day.
When I'm farming during the day, all I can think about is the tractor.
When I have nothing to do, I just operate the air based on my memory.
And I must say, the results are really good.
On the fifth day, Lu Jiefang was able to drive the tractor.
I learned it from Xu Dong.
Everyone thought it would be Lu Yuanchao's turn to learn next, but the good news came from Sun Maodou, an unofficial member.
Next was He Shenghua, and finally Lu Yuanchao.
Lu Yuan also gave other people who wanted to get started a chance, but as he always said, "You can learn it at first glance, but you'll fail when you try to do it."
In the end, only Xu Dong and the other four, plus Wen Moxue, learned it, and it only took about ten days.
The injured worker at the brick factory has almost recovered and is back to work, which means Lu Yuan no longer needs to help out at the brick factory.
Lu Yuan had been counting down the days and didn't want to go anymore; he'd been exhausted these past few days.
People say driving a car is tiring, but driving a tractor is even more tiring.
The constant jogging almost shook him to pieces.
On this last day, Wang Fengnian really invited him to the state-run restaurant.
No, to be precise, it was the factory manager Jiang Haishan who invited him to dinner at a state-run restaurant, with Wang Fengnian accompanying him.
"Come on, Xiao Lu, let me toast you. You've worked hard these past few days."
Now Jiang Haishan has changed his address for him from Comrade Lu to Little Lu.
It wasn't because he helped deliver the bricks, but because Lu Yuan later also gave him plums and roe deer meat.
This made Jiang Haishan want to get to know him better, and he became a bit more enthusiastic towards him.
Lu Yuan quickly picked up his wine glass. "Director Jiang, I'm the junior. It's my turn to toast you and Uncle Wang. I'll drink this, you can drink as you please."
He then downed the drink in one gulp.
This wine was given to him by his fake wife today. It's from her online space. I don't know what brand it is, but it tastes pretty good.
Jiang Haishan laughed heartily when he saw how readily he agreed.
After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more lively, and the three of them started talking more casually.
Jiang Haishan also took the opportunity to extend an invitation.
"Xiao Lu, would you like to come drive a tractor at our brick factory? That way, the two of you can have an easier time."
Lu Yuan refused without even thinking about it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Jiang, but I'm used to being lazy and not used to working regular hours."
Once he got to know the group, he wasn't worried that they would say he wasn't ambitious.
Jiang Haishan felt a little regretful. In the past few days, he had seen that Lu Yuan was a capable person.
Not only can he drive a tractor, but he's also smart and knows how to handle things.
He likes it quite a bit.
He was moved by the talent and wanted to keep the person at the factory.
He hadn't expected the other party to refuse. He couldn't force the issue.
Wang Fengnian was worried for Lu Yuan; how could he refuse such a good job?
He said, "Xiao Lu, why don't you reconsider? This is a really good job that's hard to find even with a lantern. Our Factory Director Jiang really thinks highly of you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Jiang and Uncle Wang, but I really can't do this job well. However, if you need tractor drivers, I can recommend a few to you."
"You know someone who can drive a tractor?"
"Or just a few?"
Both of them were surprised.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, there are several young men in our village who know how to drive."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, and I taught it to you."
Then he told them about teaching them how to drive a tractor over the past few days.
He doesn't have to come to work, but he must let them know his skills, that he is not only fast at learning to drive, but also fast at teaching others to drive.
In the future, I'll think of myself if anything happens.
"Don't worry, I didn't waste any diesel fuel. When I got back tonight, I just explained the theory to them. They learned the actual operation by following me on my way to and from the commune."
The two were greatly shocked.
"You mean that in the past ten days or so, just in the evenings and on your way to and from the commune, you taught several people how to drive a tractor?"
Jiang Haishan found it incredible.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes."
Then, with a smug look on his face, he said, "My wife is the best. She was the first to learn how to drive a tractor, and it only took her three nights."
"Your wife learned it too?"
This surprised the two even more.
His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were almost bulging out.
