Chapter 130 The Lazy Girl in the Historical Fiction 18
The tractor was still parked where it was, and Xu Qinghe was sitting at the warehouse entrance, wondering why his brother wasn't there, but still obediently waiting for him.
When Luo Shu and Xu Yan returned, Xu Qinghe's eyes lit up instantly. He was about to greet the fairy sister when he saw Village Chief Luo, and his words caught in his throat. He instinctively felt that letting Village Chief Luo know that they knew the fairy sister was not a good thing.
Finally, the child just tugged at his brother's pants and said, "Brother, sister, hello village chief uncle."
Luo Dashan was completely focused on the tractor and didn't notice Xu Qinghe's unusual behavior. He opened the fuel tank and smelled it. Sure enough, something had been added. He had been dealing with diesel fuel in the warehouse for many years, so he could easily tell the difference.
Damn bad guys, even if the tractor is repaired, this diesel fuel is unusable. It's all money! Luo Dashan was heartbroken.
Luo Shu also circled the tractor. The machine was really old. The moment she saw it, dozens of ways to improve it came to mind. However, her original intention for coming here was not to improve it, but only to repair it. For her, this was a very simple matter.
"Dad, it's not a big problem. It can be fixed by noon today."
Upon hearing Luo Shu's words, Luo Dashan's old eyes widened in disbelief. He had never seen his daughter read any books before, so how could she know how to fix tractors? The old father thought that with Xu Yanhui by his side, his daughter couldn't possibly make things worse by fixing them, so he nodded and agreed to let Luo Shu take over.
Xu Qinghe, despite his young age, was quite clever. He ran into the warehouse and took out a bag of repair tools, which Shanghe Village had gradually accumulated. With these tools, they could fix minor problems with their tractors themselves. Luo Aihua, for example, had done quite a bit of tinkering with them.
Luo Shu picked up a wrench and asked Xu Yanhui to drain the fuel from the tank and clean it. She herself tapped here and there, tightened a screw and removed a piece of metal. After about half an hour, she stopped. Meanwhile, Xu Yanhui was still cleaning the tank. Luo Dashan didn't leave and simply sat down to watch.
Seeing that he would need a while to clean up, Luo Shu went into the warehouse where some discarded tools were stored, intending to make a small gadget. She hadn't done anything like this in a long time, and now she was itching to try.
Xu Yan looked back at the blue figure disappearing through the door, then turned his attention back to cleaning the fuel tank.
At this moment, villagers came one after another to get their farm tools and start working. When they saw Xu Yanhui cleaning the oil tank, they all curiously gathered around to see what was going on.
Luo Dashan bluntly stated: "There are bad elements who damage our public property and break tractors. They are disorganized and undisciplined. Such behavior should be severely condemned. Everyone should supervise each other. If you catch that person, you must report it. Whoever catches them will get an extra work point."
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately became indignant, cursing the vandal as they grabbed their farm tools and went to work. Although they wanted to see Xu Yan return to repair the engine, they valued their work points more, and the group left reluctantly.
Nothing new happened in the village, and before long, news of the bad guys damaging the tractor spread throughout the village.
Most of the comments were cursing the two men, and a few complained that Xu Yanhui hadn't taken good care of the tractor. They were rebuffed, saying that you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. It's better to be robbed than to be targeted by thieves. How can you guard against someone who intends to sabotage you?
Yang Bo also heard these gossips and felt scared. His face turned pale. Li Yu, who was working with him, asked him if he wanted to go to the clinic. Yang Bo waved his hand repeatedly and said that he was fine, but he was sweating more and more.
Xu Yanhui finally finished cleaning the fuel tank, which took more than an hour. He then replaced the fuel with new diesel, started the engine, and the tractor started running normally, even the sputtering sound was much quieter than before.
Luo Dashan's face crinkled with even deeper wrinkles from smiling. This tractor was a precious treasure, and now that it could work again, he was naturally overjoyed!
Moreover, it was his own daughter who fixed it, and he was even happier that his daughter had such a skill.
Then Luo Shu came out with two things: a long iron sheet and a small square iron box. Luo Dashan didn't understand what his daughter was going to do. He watched as his daughter's fair little hands fiddled with the tractor for a while, then she put the iron sheet and the iron box on the tractor, clapped her hands, and said, "Done."
"Girl, what did you put in there?" Luo Dashan asked curiously, walking around the tractor but still couldn't figure it out.
Luo Shu sounded excited. After all, it had been a long time since she had done any "handicrafts." She had just been itching to make this thing. She said with a hint of excitement, "I added two little gadgets to the tractor. Let's go to the field and test them out. Come on."
After saying that, he pulled Luo Dashan into the car, and Xu Qinghe followed, snuggling up to Luo Shu like a well-behaved little puppy. Xu Yan started the tractor, and the group went to the last field of Luo Dashan's house that had not yet been plowed.
Luo Dashan and the other two jumped out of the truck bed, and Xu Yanhui drove the tractor to plow the land. As soon as he got started, Xu Yanhui felt the difference. The plowing speed was much faster, the operation was much smoother, and the plowing was much deeper.
Xu Yan suppressed the turmoil in his heart. Improving a tractor was not a simple matter. Even at his grandfather's level, not all engineering professors could easily improve a tractor. This girl had only read some notes and instructions and was able to successfully improve a tractor. What terrifying talent that was.
Xu Yanhui calmed his excitement and continued to control the engine to finish plowing the land. Luo Dashan, standing next to him, watched in astonishment as the tractor plowed the entire acre of land at a speed two steps faster than before, turning the soil even deeper than before. He couldn't believe it.
He knew his daughter well; she was incredibly strong but lazy, yet she was also strikingly beautiful. She didn't like going out, and he and his wife went along with it, even watching her study listlessly. They never imagined she would have such great abilities.
Luo Dashan looked intently at Luo Shu. His daughter's usual carefree attitude had now transformed into the unconventional genius of a prodigy. He asked, "Daughter, can all tractors be made like this? Can the scrap metal in our warehouse be used to make it?"
Luo Shu nodded. This thing was indeed not difficult, but the current industrial level of the Flower Kingdom was too low, so no one thought of it.
Luo Dashan's eyes lit up with excitement. He was determined to report this matter to the town leaders. It might even alarm the city. With these two items, land reclamation in the Northwest wouldn't be so difficult.
His daughter is truly a genius. If it weren't for the constant criticism of feudal superstition at this time, Luo Dashan would have thought that she was a fairy bestowed upon his Luo family by the Queen Mother of the West.
