Lu Guoan was in a great mood.
He ran happily toward the brigade headquarters to make an announcement over the loudspeaker.
He hummed enthusiastically the whole way.
"The commune's red flag flutters in the wind; the commune has many people and great strength..."
Come on, come on...
The commune's red flag flutters in the wind, and the flowers of happiness bloom towards the sun.
Walking on the broad road to heaven brings joy to my heart.
Follow the CCP and stride forward.
Come, come, come…
Seeing him like this, everyone knew that something good was about to happen.
Someone asked with a laugh, "Captain, what good news has happened?"
Lu Guoqing held up three fingers. "There are indeed two good things. I'll go to the brigade headquarters to make an announcement now, and you'll all know in a bit."
After saying that, he hummed a little tune and walked away, "Come, come, come... come, come, come..."

"Did the captain just say it was two good things or three?" someone asked uncertainly.
He clearly saw three, but it seems he misheard and felt it was two.

Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just then, the brigade's loudspeaker came on.
"Hello, hello, hello—"
After several greetings, the announcement was finally broadcast in a dialect interspersed with Mandarin.
"Attention all members, we are about to announce two pieces of great news."
First, Comrade Lu Yuan borrowed a tractor from the brick and tile factory. This year, our brigade will be rushing the harvest, so we won't have to carry the grain ourselves; we'll use tractors to transport it all.
The news caused an uproar in the Changhe Brigade.
Cheers erupted one after another.
They all began to praise Lu Yuan.
"Well done, you even managed to borrow a tractor."
"Having a wife really makes a difference; he's become more capable."
"I've known for a long time that Lu Yuan is a capable kid."
Some people scoffed, because the person who said this had said it before.
"I saw it coming a long time ago. Lu Yuan has been lazy and good-for-nothing since he was a kid. He'll definitely grow up to be a scoundrel."
