Chapter 131 The Lazy Girl in the Historical Fiction 19
After Xu Yan finished tilling the field, Luo Dashan rushed over, stroking the tractor with obvious affection, and asked, "How is it? Is there any difference in how the tractor works now compared to before? Is it more strenuous?"
Xu Yan replied, "No, it's much smoother to use than before, and it doesn't require much effort to operate."
Upon hearing Xu Yan's words, Luo Dashan clapped his hands. This was even better. His daughter was truly a genius. People in the countryside still held great reverence for the supernatural. Luo Shu had grown up to be as beautiful as a flower and was born with immense strength. Luo Dashan and Wang Meifeng both felt that this child was a reincarnation of a god who had been born into the Luo family.
His daughter was different from others since she was a child, but no matter what, she was still his daughter. Seeing how successful his daughter was, Luo Dashan was even happier.
However, this matter requires careful consideration. It is no small matter. There is still a month before the meeting in town. In this month, we need to confirm that the tractor has been successfully modified before we can report it.
Basically, all the fields in the village have been turned over. The next step is to sow the seeds as soon as possible, and then turn them over again when it's time to transplant the rice seedlings.
Luo Dashan pondered this matter and wanted to take his daughter back first, but Luo Shu waved her hand and said that they would wait until Xu Yan finished plowing their fields and see how efficient the machine was before going back.
Everyone was busy in their own fields, and Luo Shu sat in the corner of the field without attracting attention. It wasn't until the sun set in the afternoon that Xu Yanhui finished plowing all the fields. Luo Shu looked at the young man walking towards her with his back to the setting sun, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Looking at the girl's smiling face, Xu Yanhui's face flushed again, even his ears burned. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Comrade Luo Shu, you really succeeded in improving this tractor. You're amazing!"
Xu Yanhui's eyes were fixed on the girl sitting on the edge of the field. She was wearing a blue coarse cloth dress, with two loose braids. Her fair cheeks were flushed with pink, and she was breathtakingly beautiful. His bright black eyes seemed to be burning with flames, shining amazingly.
"Yes, it's good that it works. I came up with this after reading the instructions and my second brother's notes. It's just a bit troublesome to make. It would be even better if there were tools."
Luo Shu sighed. The Flower Kingdom was still backward at this time, and she didn't know what changes her unintentional act would bring.
"Comrade Luo Shu, let me take you back. It's getting dark, let's go."
Xu Yan greeted Luo Shu. He was currently just a "black five categories" person, but things were slowly getting better, weren't they? If that was the case, things would only get better in the future. He would definitely get her what she wanted.
Luo Shu nodded. Xu Yanhui drove the tractor over and saw the nimble girl leap onto the tractor like a graceful butterfly. Xu Yanhui's outstretched hand froze awkwardly. Luo Shu grasped the rough, well-defined hand and sat down on the tractor with a push, then gently released Xu Yanhui's hand.
Xu Yanhui's hands still seemed to retain the girl's unique fragrance and softness. He unconsciously rubbed his palms, feeling an itch that went straight to his heart. The young man's ears turned even redder. He forced himself to calm down, started the tractor, and took the girl he cherished to the warehouse.
Xu Yan wasted some time repairing the machine at noon today, so he finished work much later in the afternoon. He watched Luo Shu's figure disappear on the village path before heading back to his own home in the opposite direction.
That evening, Luo Dashan was very happy, praising Luo Shu over and over again. He even had a couple of small cups of wine and enjoyed a delicious meal. Wang Meifeng and Luo Aimin were also happy. Their younger sister was already very capable, and now she had such abilities. They couldn't stop praising Luo Shu. Even with Luo Shu's strong mental fortitude, they were all a little blushing from their praise.
Luo Dashan also talked to Luo Shu about the matter of reporting it. Luo Shu nodded, saying she had no problem with it. Luo Dashan said that it might not be reported until the end of the month. He would bring up this matter to the town when he went to the meeting. If the tractors could hold up this month, it would definitely be a good thing for the country and the people!
After the family finished their meal together, the spring night was still a bit chilly, so the Luo family went to bed early.
The next morning, Xu Yan went back to the warehouse to get the good seeds and went to work with the villagers. There was no need to plow the fields today; he would sow the seeds with the villagers.
Wang Qiuman and Yang Bo noticed that Xu Yanhui hadn't driven the tractor. Yesterday, Xu Yanhui had only driven the tractor to work after 2 PM, and the fields he passed by didn't include the one they were cultivating. Naturally, they didn't know that the tractor had been repaired.
Wang Qiuman didn't need to work; Zhang Wuniu helped her with her farm work. With a quick glance, she turned and went to the village committee.
Luo Dashan was recording feedback on the improved tractor efficiency and Xu Yanhui's comments. Li Taimin had also heard about it. He believed Luo Dashan's words because he thought Luo Dashan was reliable. He had also met Luo Shu, a girl he had never seen before, and was amazed by her skills.
"Village chief, are you there?"
A delicate, girlish voice rang out from outside, giving the two grown men goosebumps. These days, people say "women hold up half the sky," but there are very few women acting like this, especially not in a place like the village committee.
Luo Dashan opened the door with a "bang" and saw Wang Qiuman standing outside. He asked, "What are you doing here so early in the morning instead of going to work?"
Wang Qiuman's voice became increasingly affected, and Zhang Wuniu was most susceptible to this. She unconsciously adopted this demeanor and said to Luo Dashan, "I noticed that Comrade Xu didn't drive the tractor to the fields today, so I came to ask out of curiosity if the tractor was broken."
Upon hearing this, Luo Dashan's expression changed, and Li Taimin beside him had an even darker face. So, the one who damaged the tractor last time was this Wang Qiuman, the educated youth! They wanted to see what this woman was here for today.
Luo Dashan's expression turned serious, and he said with even greater authority, "Wang Zhiqing, this has nothing to do with your work. Go do what you're supposed to do. The tractor driver will naturally have his own arrangements."
Wang Qiuman looked at the two people in front of her who seemed unaware that the tractor, which Shanghe Village treasured, was broken. She thought to herself with sarcasm, "Muddleheads are muddleheads, tsk, this is going to be good."
She feigned concern and said, "Village Chief, Party Secretary Li, it seems Comrade Xu damaged that tractor. I didn't see him at work yesterday afternoon. Would you like to go and take a look?"
As soon as she finished speaking, another man entered through the door. It was Yang Bo. He said breathlessly, "Yes, Comrade Wang is right. I also saw Xu Yanhui secretly repairing the tractor yesterday."
He obviously didn't see it, but he also didn't see the tractor leaving work, which proves their plan was successful.
Yang Bo gave Wang Qiuman a knowing look, a slight smile playing on his lips. Luo Dashan and Li Taimin, being shrewd enough, naturally noticed the unspoken exchange between them. Luo Dashan then asked, "Is that so? Then let's go to the warehouse and see what's wrong with this tractor?"
After saying that, Yang Bo and Wang Qiuman could no longer suppress their smiles. They lowered their heads and said they wanted to go and take a look together. So the four of them went to the warehouse together.
