Chapter 18



"That's great. A bullock cart or a horse cart can't pull it. A tractor should save a lot of effort."

Oxen and horses were usually requisitioned from the villagers, but usually these oxen and horses also had to do farm work and pull wood, so their efficiency was very low.

Han Zhiqiang cleared his throat and said, "Okay, stop talking. No matter what, being able to have two tractors is already very good for us. Xiao Wang, Lao Li, don't you two know how to drive a tractor? You are responsible for driving it!"

"Hey, okay, Captain Han."

The two of them couldn't wait to jump onto the tractor, eager to give it a try.

Old Li was also in trouble when he drove the car: "Team Leader Han, this tractor is new and I don't know how to operate it. Just now, the technician drove the car over and ran away before we had a chance to ask."

Xiao Wang also said: "Yes, I am afraid of this. Don't go into the mountain ditch."

Team leader Han frowned and jumped onto the tractor, "Let me take a look."

He was also completely confused and had no idea how to start the tractor.

Lu Zhi yawned. He couldn't sleep last night because of the stench from the shop.

Hearing their discussion, he quickly pushed Hu Shengli and said, "Shengli, you can drive a car, right? You should be able to drive a tractor too!"

"That would be easy."

Hu Shengli swung forward and arrogantly pushed away the people watching the excitement, "Move aside, let me try."

Han Zhiqiang stared at him suspiciously, "Why, Hu Shengli, you can drive a tractor?"

"Of course I can. I've even driven a car before!"

He thought driving a tractor was as easy as driving a car.

"Then you should try it!"

None of the dozens of educated youth had ever seen such a new tractor, so they could only let Hu Shengli, a rookie, try it out.

Hu Shengli tried to push the drum for a while and it started. However, before he could figure out the direction, the tractor suddenly rushed towards Lu Qingyang's dilapidated house.

This was too much. Lu Qingyang quickly jumped onto the tractor and pulled the brakes. It was only one meter away from the broken house and it was about to collapse. Wouldn't he have to find another place to live?

Han Zhiqiang pulled Hu Shengli over, cursing, "You're really good. You almost demolished the house! What if you get hurt?"

"That is, can you afford to pay for the damage to the tractor?"

Hu Shengli lowered his head in shame, thinking that tractors were the same as cars, but who knew there were some differences.

"Isn't this something I'm not familiar with yet?"

Lu Qingyang frowned, "Didn't you just say you would open it?"

The current situation is different from that in the book. In the book, Hu Shengli was still in the forward team, driving a tractor, and had a very glorious life.

It's no wonder they didn't know how to operate it. This is a tractor specially used for transporting wood. They had never received any training before and thought it was the same old-fashioned one.

Lu Qingyang took the initiative to suggest: "Captain Han, I know how to drive this tractor. Let me give it a try!"

"Don't act like a winner."

Before Han Zhiqiang finished speaking, he found that he had already driven the tractor steadily towards the road to Mount 껗.

"Wait a minute, you little bastard!"

Han Zhiqiang picked up the tool kit and jumped away.

Although the tractor moved slowly, it finally climbed the mountain.

Han Zhiqiang was impressed by Lu Qingyang. "Good boy, you are a very capable man. You drive this car. When you are free, teach me how to operate it."

Lu Qingyang pretended not to hear and took out a piece of cold steamed bun from his bag and started to chew it.

He sighed with a hint of melancholy: "Captain Han, I don't have time. I have to repair the house after work. Hey, I don't know when this broken house will be repaired."

"You...you did it on purpose, right?" Han Zhiqiang was already an old fox, so he naturally saw through his little tricks.

Lu Qingyang also walked down the stairs. "You've seen all this, Captain Han. How about this? I can teach you how to drive a tractor, but you have to find a few workers to help me repair the house. Of course, I don't want them to work for free. How about I pay them?"

"Pay wages? You really treat that shabby house as your home."

"I'm just thinking about my own son."

Han Zhiqiang thought about it and decided that it wouldn't hurt to do so, so he would inform them when the time came.

Those who are willing to go can go, and those who are unwilling can forget it. Anyway, Lu Qingyang said he would pay the wages.

"You said you would pay the wages. How much do you plan to pay?"

"Just follow the team's rules and give as much as you should. Anyway, you won't be at a disadvantage."

He had only been here for two months and didn't know many people. For something like this, he still needed someone with a little prestige to issue orders before they would be willing to come.

"Okay, let's do this! Let's get to work first!"

Today is a sunny day. The sun shines through the clouds and onto the ground through the gaps between the branches, forming the Tyndall effect.

Lu Qingyang couldn't help but sigh, if only he had a camera to capture this beautiful scene, it would be exactly like the scene in the movies.

His grandson Xiang Qian and his two brothers were quick learners and had already started formally learning how to cut wood. These two strong young men, who ate well on weekdays, naturally worked quickly and well.

Sun Xiangqian selected a pine tree and was about to attack it when he was stopped by Lu Qingyang.

“This tree cannot be cut down.”

"What?"

"This is a mother tree. For the sake of ecological balance, mother trees cannot be cut down."

"What is ecological balance?" Sun Xiangqian obviously didn't understand this statement.

Lu Qingyang explained to him seriously, "The mother tree bears fruit, and when the fruit falls to the ground, new seedlings can grow, right? The new seedlings can continue to grow and can be reused."

Sun Xiangqian suddenly understood, "I understand, I understand now that you put it that way."

“I just think these trees are all the same.”

The oval-faced female educated youth next to them heard the two people's discussion and came over. "Lu Qingyang, you really know a lot. When I first came here, I didn't know these things either. It was the old educated youth who told me. You see, these mother trees are marked on their bodies. These trees cannot be cut down."

She continued, "My name is Gu Ni, nice to meet you."

The original owner had never met these female educated youth, so Lu Qingyang didn't know what kind of girl Gu Ni was.

But seeing how enthusiastic she was, it didn't seem like she was a bad person.

Sun Xiangqian was speechless when he saw the pretty girl and could only smile foolishly.

"Lu Qingyang helped us yesterday. If you don't understand something in the future, just ask me directly. I'm happy to help you." Gu Ni lowered her head, a little shy.

"Okay, thank you."

"Okay, let's get to work! Do you still want work points?"

Ten work points, on the premise of completing the task.

Generally, men can hold all ten, and strong female educated youth can also hold all ten. However, those with weaker constitutions cannot hold all ten.

This is the case with Jiang Wanwan. If it weren't for Hu Shengli's help, she probably wouldn't even get six work points.

Hu Shengli had to work for himself and help Jiang Wanwan at the same time, and he really felt overwhelmed.

I didn't expect it would be so troublesome to chase a girl in the educated youth team.

It was easy for him to chase girls in the city. He only needed to buy them some small toys to make them happy and send them to school in a friendly way, and he would have hooked them long ago.

In fact, Hu Shengli also has a girlfriend in the city, and her family background is very good.

The two were dating secretly. His girlfriend was a nurse in the hospital, a good job that he envied, but that didn't stop him from finding game to eat in the countryside.

Besides, Jiang Wanwan was so beautiful, he would feel uncomfortable if he couldn't have her!

In this case, he could only grit his teeth and continue working. He didn't believe that he couldn't catch up with her.

Lu Qingyang watched all this with cold eyes. If Jiang Wanwan got stuck in the mud this time, he would not be a stepping stone. He would just watch from the sidelines.

No, it should be a stone thrown into a well.
