Unexpectedly, Zhou Yichen would ask about a stranger. Li Mingyuan reacted for a moment before replying:

"Oh... He's Zhao Ying, the son of the commune director. Don't be fooled by his good-tempered appearance. He's actually a well-known bad guy in our commune! He has a terrible reputation!"

Zhou Yichen turned his head when he heard this, "Bad conduct?"

"Yeah! Alas! He works in the Revolutionary Committee and is a famous Red Guard in the commune. He is eccentric and cruel." Li Mingyuan replied with a frown.

He was really worried. The Zhao family was domineering in the commune. Could Comrade Chu, an educated youth, escape their clutches?

Zhou Yichen didn't say anything after hearing him sigh. He just glanced at the direction where the few people left, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Chu Xin had already taken Wang Youzhi to the state-owned restaurant to order food.

"Uncle, why are you here again today? I can probably go back tomorrow." Chu Xin asked him while eating.

The braised pork was too fatty and Chu Xin didn’t like it. After eating a piece, she stopped eating and only ate the fish next to it.

Wang Youzhi looked at the people in front of him who were feasting heartily and sighed inwardly, "Ordering two meat dishes for two people, how can such a lavish person ever get married?"

He answered her honestly, "Your aunt is worried about you, so she asked me to come and see you. Have you gotten into trouble again?"

Chu Xin looked at him with an indescribable look. What did she mean by causing trouble again? From the beginning to the end, she was the one who was causing trouble passively!

He consciously concealed his great achievements last night.

"What's there to worry about? I'm fine. The only ones who will suffer in my hands are others! Just let your aunt wait for me at home."

Wang Youzhi wasn't as optimistic as she was. A hint of worry crept into his eyes. "You make it sound so easy, but how can I not be worried? I see Zhao Ying hasn't given up yet. Will there be trouble in the future?"

Chu Xin's eyes flashed with danger, and she looked up at Wang Youzhi, "Don't worry, everything is fine now. I believe he won't come looking for me soon."

Wang Youzhi's eyes widened. It wasn't that he didn't want Chu Xin to be good, it was really...

"What do you want to do?" He knew Chu Xin a little bit, and what she said was definitely not a good thing.

I don’t know if my little heart can bear the “surprise” this girl will bring me!

Seeing Wang Youzhi's cute reaction, Chu Xin grinned. When she first met him, she thought this old man was quite serious, but she didn't expect him to be so funny.

It’s fun to tease him!

"I didn't mean to do anything. Am I the one who started the trouble? Don't worry."

After the meal, one of them was heartless, the other was worried. Chu Xin persuaded Wang Youzhi to go back home and wait for her.

With nothing to do, Chu Xin bought some apples and planned to go find Du Bo.

When we arrived at the courtyard, the gate was open and there was a young man inside talking to Du Bo.

Noticing someone coming in, the two people who were talking turned their heads to look over.

Chu Xin nodded at them, but did not go forward to disturb them. She found a stool and sat down, waiting quietly.

Instead, the young man who had spoken called out, "Comrade Chu?"

Huh? You know me?

Chu Xin looked up, taking in the man's signature dark skin and gleaming white teeth. She recognized him as the educated youth she'd seen on the train. His name seemed to be Liu Qiang, and he'd been sent to the countryside in the Hongxi Brigade.

Chu Xin stood up and greeted him, "It's Comrade Liu."

Liu Qiang was very happy to see Chu Xin again, and even happier that Chu Xin still remembered him.

"It's me, it's me, Comrade Chu still remembers me!"

Chu Xin smiled. Her memory was indeed quite good.

Du Bo, who was standing by, walked over slowly and coughed lightly. "Okay, if you have nothing else, go ahead. I have guests here!"

Liu Qiang gave Chu Xin a wry smile, then shrank his neck and said to him in a muffled voice: "Master Du, please help me, this job is very important to me."

Du Bo's slightly furrowed brows tightened even more. "I'm saying, young man, why don't you understand? I've already told you I can't help you. You should think of another way!"

Liu Qiang wanted to persuade him again, but he heard Chu Xin standing beside him say softly: "Du Bo said he couldn't help you, and he definitely couldn't help you. He wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for you."

Although they had not known each other for long, she was sure that Du Bo was not a cold person.

Liu Qiang's expression became even more depressed. He knew that he was forcing it, but he was really unwilling to give in.

Chu Xin saw that he looked as if the sky was falling, and Du Bo's expression was also a little heavy. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened that made them look like that.

"Excuse me, could you tell me what happened?"

Liu Qiang, like a wolfhound caught in the rain, hung his head and spoke in a muffled voice, "There's nothing to hide. Our brigade has a tractor. The previous tractor driver found a job in the city and quit, so I was fortunate enough to be trained as the new tractor driver.

Everything was fine before, but today the tractor suddenly broke down.

I couldn't find the problem, so I went to the farm machinery station and asked for help. They said the mechanics were not there and couldn't fix it.

I didn't dare report this to the team because there were several people competing with me for the position!

Regardless of whether I broke it or not, I'm responsible, and I won't shirk responsibility. But I really want this job. My family is struggling, and being a tractor driver pays well, so I can save more food and send it back home.

If the tractor can't be repaired now, not only will I lose my job, I might even be punished!"

The more Liu Qiang spoke, the sadder he became.

"Then why did you look for Uncle Du?" Chu Xin was puzzled.

Liu Qiang glanced at her and said, "Master Du was introduced to me by a big brother at the agricultural machinery station. He asked me to ask him to try. If Master Du can't fix it, then there really is no way it can be fixed!"

Liu Qiang was so depressed that his words were weak and it was obvious that he was in great pain.

When Du Bo saw Chu Xin looking at him, he nodded, indicating that what Liu Qiang said was true.

"I didn't realize you could repair tractors?" It's no wonder Chu Xin was surprised. How could someone with such skills spend his days in a scrap yard?

A bitter smile appeared on Du Bo's old face. "It's all in the past!"

Is there a story behind this? Knowing that this was the old man's privacy, she didn't continue to ask.

Liu Qiang looked so aggrieved like a young wife, not as cheerful and cheerful as when we first met.

The corner of her eye twitched, and she asked him, "Where is the tractor? Take me to see it."

Although she has never repaired a tractor, she can repair all kinds of vehicles. They are all mechanical, so she should be good at everything, right?

Liu Qiang looked at Chu Xin in surprise. Comrade Chu could actually repair a tractor? Was this something a lesbian should be able to do?

Even Du Bo looked at Chu Xin in shock.

"Ahem, are you still going to practice or not?" Chu Xin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two men.

Liu Qiang, who had come to his senses, immediately responded, "Repair, repair, repair, Chu Zhiqing, can you really repair a tractor?"

Chu Xin touched his nose and said, "Whether it can be repaired or not, we will know after we take a look!"

There was a mixture of sincerity and guilt in her tone. Du Bo gave her a complicated look, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go over and take a look too!"

We can't let this little girl lose face by saying that.

Liu Qiang was overjoyed to see that Master Du had agreed, and he immediately took his men to the agricultural machinery station. "The tractor is at the station, and it can't be moved until it's repaired."

The commune's agricultural machinery station was essentially a spacious courtyard with several houses built side by side. A few tractors were parked in the empty yard, but nothing else.

The tractor of Liu Qiang's team was parked in a corner of the yard. A middle-aged man with bronze skin was sitting on the tractor, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

When Liu Qiang led his men over, he immediately put down the palm-leaf fan in his hand, stood up and jumped out of the car.

"Master Du, you're here!" His tone was full of excitement.

Uncle Du waved his hand, his voice a little hoarse, "It's Kong Yuan, it's been a long time since we last met! Don't call me Master Du anymore, I'm not one anymore."

Kong Yuan looked sad when he heard this and turned to look at Liu Qiang. "Xiao Liu, this is..." What's going on?

Liu Qiang smiled grimly and pointed at Chu Xin, introducing her to him. "Brother Kong, this is Chu Xin, the educated youth who went to the countryside with me. She should know something. I want her to come and see."

Kong Yuan choked and was speechless for a moment.

[Is Liu Qiang so anxious that he has lost his mind? Asking a young girl to fix it is ridiculous!]
