Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 304 The 70s (2)

"Xiaohua, help me clean this." After assembling it, Wangyou checked it and found no problems. The inner drum of the washing machine was made of wood, so she would need to apply some chemicals after washing.

"Okay." Xiaohua fetched water and washed the entire iron lump clean, then put it in the sun to dry.

After washing her hands, Wangyou took out the herbs she had collected a couple of days ago and began to brew a preservative lacquer.

After the medicinal lacquer was prepared, Wangyou carefully applied a layer to the entire washing machine. It was almost dark, and Xiaohua had already gone to make dinner.

"It's so late, why haven't my parents and brothers come back yet?" Wangyou was just muttering to herself when she saw several of her nephews running in.

"Auntie, the team's tractor broke down, and the team leader said everyone has to harvest overnight!" Qian Xiaobao said, panting after taking a sip of water.

How did the tractor break down?

"I don't know, but it became unusable after a short while this afternoon. The village chief has already gone to the county to apply for a technician, but technicians are always in short supply, so I guess it won't be long!" Qian Xiaobao said. "Auntie, have Xiaohua deliver dinner again tonight. I'm going to rush to harvest first. Auntie, don't come. It's not safe tonight."

After Qian Xiaobao finished speaking, without waiting for Wangyou's reply, he left his younger brothers behind and disappeared like the wind.

Wangyou glanced at the weather. The weather hadn't been good these past few days. If it rained, the farmers would have worked for nothing for more than a year.

"Auntie, it's going to rain heavily in a few days. I'm going to hurry and deliver food to Mom and Dad. I'm also going to help with the harvest. Be careful tonight, Auntie. Little Stone, Tiger, keep an eye on Auntie. Auntie, I've put the food on the stove. I'm off now." Xiao Hua said hurriedly, then grabbed her basket and ran off.

He left Wangyou and her few nephews staring at each other blankly.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll go check on the tractor."

Little Stone and Tiger knew they couldn't stop their aunt, so they simply stopped trying. The three of them quickly finished their meal, and Wangyou locked the door before heading to the fields with her two nephews.

The tractor driver was guarding the tractor, checking it from time to time, trying to figure out what was wrong. But he only knew basic repairs and couldn't find the problem even after a long time. Looking at the endless wheat field, Qian Xiaoye was extremely anxious.

"Ono, how's the tractor?"

"Auntie, what brings you here so late?"

"I heard the tractor broke down, so I came to check it out," Wangyou said with a smile.

"Aunt, I...I..."

"Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating?"

"Auntie, can you watch the tractor for me while I go harvest the wheat?" Qian Xiaoye said anxiously, looking at the large swath of unharvested wheat. As for worrying, there was none. Wangyou's fighting strength was such that four or five grown men couldn't even get close to her. With Wangyou guarding her, Qian Xiaoye felt at ease.

"Alright, you go ahead, I'll keep watch!" Wangyou readily agreed, and Qian Xiaoye ran off like a rabbit upon seeing this.

After Wangyou and the others left, he took out a flashlight and looked around the tractor. He then looked at the crank handle placed to the side and, after thinking for a while, decided to try it out. He discovered that the problem with the tractor was that the spark plugs were clogged and there was also a problem with the fuel system.

"Little Stone, Tiger, keep watch, someone's coming to talk to Auntie."

"Okay, Auntie!" The two children stood guard on either side of her like two generals.

Wangyou took out the toolbox that was always on the tractor, and in no time he disassembled the tractor's fuel tank. After inspecting it, he wiped the spark plugs clean with a cloth, and then took out a small thing from his pocket and modified the fuel system.

Then, Wangyou looked around, reinstalled the fuel tank, and made some minor modifications to the engine. Otherwise, the tractor was already heavy and old, and prolonged use would cause the engine to overheat, which would also affect the tractor's operation.

After Wangyou finished modifying it, he still didn't find anyone coming. He quickly reassembled the disassembled engine and put it back in. Then he took the crank handle and cranked it hard twice. Sure enough, the tractor was working again.

"Little Stone, you and Tiger go tell the brigade leader that the tractor is fixed. I'll wait here."

"Great!" The two children jumped for joy when they saw that Wangyou had fixed the tractor, and then ran off to spread the news without looking back.

However, it wasn't the two children who went to inform the others, because many people heard the sound of the tractor. The brigade leader was the first to run over, followed by Qian Xiaoye. The others were curious, but the autumn harvest couldn't be lost.

Wangyou, on the other hand, took advantage of the fact that no one had arrived yet and drove a tractor to enjoy the harvest, but his legs were a bit short, so the experience wasn't very good.

So Wangyou tried it and then stopped.

"Wangyou, did you fix this tractor?"

"Yes, I guarantee there won't be any problems. Xiao Ye, hurry up and drive to harvest!" Wang You said with a grin as she jumped off the tractor.

"Qian Xiaoye, you left Wangyou here all alone! Don't you know there are wolves around?!" The captain looked around and saw nothing but wheat, and roared angrily.

"Dad, I didn't mean to! I just got anxious and forgot!" Qian Xiaoye was also a little scared. How could he have been so careless as to leave his third uncle's precious child here?

"Captain, it's alright, I'm fine. Besides, even if there were wolves, who knows who would be the unlucky one? Hurry up and get Xiao Ye in the car, I'm taking Xiao Shitou and Hu Zi back." Wang You didn't want to listen to a long explanation, so she grabbed her two nephews and ran away decisively.

When the captain saw that everyone had run away, he glared angrily at Qian Xiaoye. Qian Xiaoye chuckled, started the tractor, and found that it was much easier to use than before. "Dad, this tractor is really easy to use now. It's much easier to use than before."

"Hurry up and start harvesting the crops. I'll call some more people over." The brigade leader was also surprised, but since the person in charge wasn't there, he decided to wait until the autumn harvest was over before asking.

Wangyou went home and said, "You two should go wash up and go to bed. I'm going to make something."

"Auntie, we'll help you!"

"What can you two do to help me? Go to sleep." Wangyou sent the two children away and then started working with the tools in the yard.

She didn't have enough parts to build a tractor, but she could make a few simple harvesters.

Little Stone and Tiger were just kids, and they fell asleep shortly after getting on the kang (heated brick bed).

Wangyou spent the whole night working hard and made three simple harvesters by hand. No one else in the family had returned yet, and it turned out that they really had to harvest all night.

Wangyou saw that it was dawn and decided not to go to sleep. She washed her face with water, and just then, Qian Xiaohua came back to make breakfast.

"Auntie, why are you up so early?"

"Were you harvesting all night?"

"The team leader told everyone to rest a bit in the middle of the night, so to save time, we just ate whatever we could find in the field. It's already started, so I'll go make breakfast first," Qian Xiaohua said briefly before heading into the kitchen.

Wangyou had only heard about the urgent situation during the autumn harvest in Northeast China in the 1960s and 70s, but she never expected that no one would be going home tonight.
