Chapter 118 Hope



In the minds of the villagers, it is easy for someone who has attended college to repair a tractor, just like if you say you have attended college, your family will ask you to repair a TV.

Jiang Ye had never come into contact with a tractor before, but he had read some books about machinery and knew its structure.

But he knew who could fix it.

"I can fix it, but I need someone's help."

Master Liu felt dizzy and confused by Jiang Ye's constant talk.

"Comrade, you can't joke with the country's property!"

"This tractor is a valuable asset in every county."

"If you don't know how to repair it, don't try to show off!"

He stroked the front of the tractor with a serious expression and said, "I know you want to protect national property, but this thing is really not something to be taken lightly."

Jiang Ye looked serious. He walked firmly to the tractor and pointed at the things on it, explaining them in detail: "This is the accelerator, brake, and dashboard..."

"Inside are the engine, water tank, and fuel tank..."

As Jiang Ye introduced each one carefully, Master Liu gradually relaxed a little. After Jiang Ye finished introducing each one, he asked solemnly.

"Comrade, can you really fix the tractor?"

Jiang Ye said solemnly, "Master Liu, I promise the organization that if I can't fix this tractor, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Ji Ping didn't have much trust in Jiang Ye, but rather trust in the country's highest institution of learning.

He and the people in the village thought that Jiang Ye was a college student, so if he said he could repair a tractor, then he must be able to do it.

Master Liu felt relieved only after hearing Jiang Ye's assurance to the organization.

He nodded and said, "Comrade, thank you for your help."

Jiang Ye walked over to Yao Qiyue and whispered to her, "Go find Teacher Lu. He knows a lot about these machines."

Without any hesitation, Yao Qiyue turned around and walked towards the cowshed.

Jiang Ye turned around and asked Master Liu: "Master Liu, do you have any tools, such as wrenches or pliers?"

Master Liu returned to the car, took out a wrench and handed it to Jiang Ye.

After finding the tools, Jiang Ye climbed onto the tractor and carefully studied the various components of the engine.

Master Liu, who had just felt relieved, was now worried.

Lu Zhian now has his hair shaved into a crew cut and is jogging behind Yao Qiyue.

Jiang Ye saw Lu Zhian and jumped off the tractor.

"Teacher, I suspect the engine of this tractor has malfunctioned and it's not easy to repair."

"That's why I asked July to come over and invite you."

The crowd was in an uproar when they heard Jiang Ye calling this bad guy "teacher".

Everyone just learned that Jiang Ye was a college student at the best university in Beijing. His teacher must be a very powerful person. It was surprising that there was such a powerful person in their remote area.

"He's a teacher of college students, so what is he?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. No matter how powerful you are, aren't you still living in the bullpen?"

"Yeah, that's a waste of talent."

Lu Zhian nodded to the team leader Ji Ping and walked to the tractor.

Jiang Ye has been with him for seven or eight years, and he knows very well what level his disciple is at now.

Logically speaking, Jiang Ye could handle a minor problem with the tractor by himself.

Letting him come now would only cause big problems.

Lu Zhian didn't know that his disciple now had his own little plan.

He deliberately revealed to his fellow villagers that he and Lu Zhian were master and apprentice, so that it would be natural for him to take care of the cowshed in the village in the future.

Lu Zhian disassembled the front of the tractor with a serious look and studied the various components inside.

When he started working, he exuded a scholarly air of dignity and seriousness.

The onlookers unconsciously quieted down.

"wrench……"

Jiang Ye handed over the wrench in his hand.

"Look at the Dongfanghong tractors that are currently manufactured in our country. They are produced by a local machinery factory in Northeast China."

"This Model 28 tractor has a special feature..."

Master Liu originally had some concerns in his heart, but after Lu Zhian gave Jiang Ye a detailed explanation, his worries gradually dissipated.

Even the villagers who had no idea what Lu Zhian was saying listened attentively and devoutly.

The master and apprentice worked together in perfect harmony, and the tractor was repaired in just half an hour.

Master Liu shook Lu Zhian's hands gratefully and said, "Comrade, thank you for your hard work."

“Thank you, comrades, for repairing the state property.”

Ji Ping also had a new idea in his mind. He felt that it was a waste for people like Jiang Ye and Lu Zhian to farm in the countryside.

When they returned home at night, Ji Ping and Li Hong were lying on the kang. Ji Ping tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Li Hong said impatiently: "What's wrong with you being like a pancake?"

Ji Ping sat up suddenly, which scared Li Hong.

"Hey, you old man, why are you still so nervous in the middle of the night?"

Ji Ping scratched his hair worriedly. "Old woman, did you see that bad guy in the cowshed go to fix the tractor today?"

"That tractor is a rare commodity. Our Yanjiang Village has been negotiating with the commune for two or three years, and this is the first time we've been allocated the right to use a tractor."

When Li Hong heard Ji Ping talking about tractors, she became interested. She sat up and took out the coat next to the quilt and put it on.

"I was at home taking care of my grandson during the day and didn't go out to the fields, so I didn't see the bad guys repairing the tractor."

Ji Ping's somewhat cloudy eyes shone brightly at night, making Li Hong even more curious about the bad guys in the cowshed.

"Is he really that amazing? He can even fix a tractor?"

Ji Ping nodded affirmatively: "Not just him."

"Yao Qiyue's husband Jiang Ye is also a college student."

"I've noticed that Jiang Ye is a low-key person. His work is pretty ordinary, but I didn't expect he'd even research tractors."

"Old woman, you know our village primary school has been abandoned for several years."

As soon as Li Hong heard it, she knew what her old man meant.

She said with some concern: "If Yao Qiyue's husband Jiang Ye becomes a teacher in our village, there will be no problem."

"But this bad element, if we do this, we will be disobeying the organization's arrangements!"

"If someone with ulterior motives gets hold of something, you'll no longer be able to be the captain."

Ji Ping sighed: "I know everything you said."

"But look at us. No one in our village has passed the exam in years."

"In our poor place, the only way out is to study."

Ji Ping looked at the dark night outside the window with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Yanjiang Village is poor, and the farmers who rely on the weather for their livelihood are now having trouble even getting enough food and clothing.

He didn't want Yanjiang Village to remain so poor.

He believes that knowledge can change destiny.

However, there is not even a teacher in their village.

Jiang Ye and Lu Zhian gave him a glimmer of hope today.
