Chapter 133 The Lazy Girl in the Historical Fiction 21
The police came in the afternoon, interrogated them briefly, and then took Wang Qiuman and Yang Bo away. In those days, the police had absolute authority, and Wang Qiuman and Yang Bo confessed as soon as they were questioned. They are probably already in the police station now.
Luo Shu's family was having dinner when a staggering figure pushed open the courtyard gate and rushed in. It was Zhang Wuniu.
"Uncle Dashan, I heard that Qiuman has been arrested by the police for damaging public property. Uncle Dashan, Qiuman is so timid, she would never do such a thing. Please, please save her."
Then Zhang Wuniu knelt down in front of Luo Dashan with a thud, startling Luo Shu. At this moment, Zhang Wuniu also saw Luo Shu. The girl was beautiful with bright teeth and unparalleled beauty. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately kowtowed to Luo Dashan without stopping, even when his forehead was bruised.
Luo Dashan and Luo Aimin forcefully helped Zhang Wuniu up. Luo Dashan said seriously, "Comrade Wang and Comrade Yang have already confessed to the police about damaging public property. They have already gone to the town's police station. I have no right to punish the two educated youth comrades. They made a mistake themselves. If you are worried about that girl, you can go to the police station to see her."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuniu turned and ran, presumably heading to the town's police station.
Luo Dashan sighed helplessly. Wang Meifeng glanced at him sideways and said, "What's there to sigh about? Wu Niu abandoned his parents for a woman. Watch closely, and don't follow his example, or you'll never call us parents again."
Wang Meifeng spoke with a serious expression. Luo Aimin, seeing his mother's face, didn't dare to pick up any food, only slurping up sweet potato porridge, wishing he could bury his head in the bowl.
"Look at you, what are you saying? We are all good kids in this family. Eat, eat."
Luo Dashan smoothed things over while urging everyone to continue eating.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when Zhang Wuniu returned from town, that he returned. The police were very efficient these days. Yang Bo was the main culprit in the case and was exiled to the Northwest to reclaim wasteland. Wang Qiuman was an accomplice and her crime was relatively minor (she didn't commit any acts), so she would be detained for two months before being released.
Time flies, and the rice seedlings in the village are growing very well and thriving. Luo Dashan led the villagers to get the seedlings ready for transplanting.
Before transplanting rice seedlings, the field needs to be plowed again, and now it's the tractor's turn to come in. By this time, everyone in the village knows that Luo Shu and Xu Yanhui have modified the tractor, and everyone is gathered around the edge of the field, waiting to see what's different about the tractor.
Xu Yanhui steered the tractor into the field, moving much faster than before and turning the soil much deeper. This was evident to all, saving about a third of the time compared to before.
After the field was plowed, everyone was reluctant to leave. Most of the young men's eyes were fixed on the girl in the homespun clothes on the edge of the field. Today, Luo Shu did not wear her hair in braids. Her beautiful hair was loosely tied behind her head, revealing her smooth forehead, bright almond eyes, red lips and white teeth. She was the most beautiful sight in spring.
The young men in the village didn't dare to look openly, only daring to steal a glance, and then their dark faces would turn bright red.
Luo Dashan looked at the tractor, his eyes welling up with tears. What do farmers care about most? Their fields! This tractor can save more time and help them cultivate more wasteland. It's truly a wonderful thing!
He couldn't wait to report this to his superiors.
After plowing the fields and transplanting the rice seedlings, it was time for Luo Dashan to report to the town. Around these important days of autumn harvest and spring planting, village officials like them would go to the town for meetings, where the higher-ups would inquire in detail about the details of farming and harvesting. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and this is a major issue.
When it was Luo Dashan's turn to give his report, he passionately recounted the improvements to the tractor, and his words shook the entire conference room.
This is no small matter. If one tractor can save so much time, what about ten or a hundred? Moreover, he said it was modified by two young comrades, which is even more remarkable. The Cultural Revolution is gradually fading, and now is the time to vigorously introduce talent. Unexpectedly, Shanghe Village has produced two, and they have already achieved results. This is truly good news.
The town mayor immediately inquired about the details of the matter. After confirming that the tractor had been successfully modified and tested in the fields, he smiled broadly and told Luo Dashan that he would accompany Luo Dashan that afternoon with the people from the town's agricultural machinery station to see the tractor's amazing capabilities.
Luo Dashan remained relatively calm, but the town mayor was going to their Shanghe Village. Oh dear, it seems his daughter's invention is more important than he imagined; this is truly a source of pride for him.
In the afternoon, the town mayor and his entourage returned to Shanghe Village with Luo Dashan. As soon as they got back to the village, before they even sat down, they said they wanted to go see the tractors. They had all come by bicycle, so they were very fast and arrived at the warehouse in no time.
The fields in their village had all been plowed, and now the tractor was quietly parked in the yard. Everyone saw how clean and tidy the tractor looked and couldn't help but admire it, saying that the tractor driver was someone who cherished his tools.
Luo Dashan then sent someone to the fields to call Xu Yan back, and also sent someone to his home to call his daughter over.
Xu Yan returned quickly. As soon as he arrived, Luo Dashan said that he was one of the improvement team members. The town mayor even patted Xu Yan on the shoulder and praised him as an "outstanding youth of the new era." This was what Luo Shu and Luo Dashan said. She was able to improve the tractor because Xu Yan provided her with important ideas. The tractor was improved by them together.
The staff at the nearby agricultural machinery station were full of praise when they saw the added equipment on the tractor. Xu Yanhui answered their questions fluently, proving that this young man was truly capable.
Xu Yanhui was actually quite conflicted. The improvement of this tractor was handled entirely by Luo Shu, and he hadn't contributed much. However, Luo Shu had broken it down and explained it to him in detail. Now, Xu Yanhui also had many ideas about machinery. He felt that the modification of the tractor should not stop here, but could go further.
Then Luo Shu arrived. It could be said that her arrival brightened up even the dilapidated courtyard. No one expected that the other reformer would be such a radiant girl.
The agricultural machinery station staff were somewhat dazed. After forcing themselves to calm down, they dared not look directly into the eyes of this stunning beauty. They lowered their heads and asked a few tricky questions. After Luo Shu answered them casually, she even gave them some elaboration. Only then did they realize that the girl with unparalleled beauty in front of them was another researcher.
Having confirmed that the tractor had indeed been successfully improved, the town mayor also took away a device made by Xu Yanhui under Luo Shu's guidance, which was more advanced than the first version. He was going to report this matter, believing that the news would soon shake the entire province and even the whole country.
The setting sun silently blooms on the horizon, its brilliance like a raging fire.
