Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 14 The Uninhibited Life of the 60 Educated Youths 13
The captain, Ji Han, and Shi Shaoyu caught up with the tractor one after the other. The tractor was driven by a very tall, middle-aged man.
"Brother, brother, are you here to deliver a tractor to our Zhangzhuang brigade?"
The other person glanced at the three of them, finally fixing their gaze on Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu.
"Which of you is Shi Shaoyu?"
Shi Shaoyu quickly stepped forward.
"Big brother, it's me!"
After confirming the person's identity, the man took out several delivery slips from his briefcase.
"Here comes the tractor, sign for it!"
Shi Shaoyu stepped forward and quickly signed his name. Then the big man pulled out two pages and took them back, leaving the rest for Shi Shaoyu. He then took a bicycle from the back of the truck, put his briefcase down, and leisurely rode away.
Ji Han and the others... so quickly?
After everyone had gone far away, the captain remembered to call out.
"Hey buddy, don't go yet! Stay and have a meal!"
Ji Han thought that the other person might not be able to hear him at such a distance, but to his surprise, the other person not only heard him, but also reached out and shook his hand to indicate that he refused.
After everyone had gone, only the captain, Ji Han, and the other two remained. They looked at each other, and finally, Ji Han couldn't hold back any longer.
"Captain, where's the person you found who can drive a tractor? Neither Shi Shaoyu nor I can drive one, and we can't just leave this tractor sitting here forever, can we?"
The captain then seemed to wake up from a dream.
"Ah, right, right, we need a tractor driver, we need a tractor driver..."
"Wait a minute, Shi Qingqing, Ji Qingqing, did that guy forget to collect the money? The brigade accountant isn't here, so we haven't paid him yet!"
"Quick, quick, go and bring him back! This guy, how could he forget something as important as taking money!"
Shi Shaoyu quickly pulled the captain aside.
"Captain, I already paid for it in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to bring the tractor over. Just pay me back the money according to the price on this invoice later."
"Ah, yes, yes, that's true. They definitely won't drive the tractor over here if we don't pay them."
"My goodness, Shi Zhiqing, you're really rich!..."
The captain didn't say what he meant next, but Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu both knew what he meant. However, this was something Shi Shaoyu deliberately revealed to the captain so that the two of them could slack off and not work in the days to come.
By acquiring this tractor, the two men demonstrated both their influence in the city and their ability to live without working, laying a solid foundation for their comfortable life in Zhangzhuang Brigade.
Just as Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu predicted, the moment the tractor appeared in Zhangzhuang Brigade, the news spread to several surrounding brigades and even the entire Qianjin Commune. After all, when the brigade leader applied for diesel fuel and a cutting platform, he also had to go through the commune's approval.
The name Shi Shaoyu became the hottest word during the summer harvest. The team members' attitude towards Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu changed from avoiding them to flocking to them. In fact, two out of every three aunties wanted to introduce Shi Shaoyu to potential partners. As for Ji Han, he used his newly learned invisibility skills and always hid perfectly.
The busy summer harvest, even with the addition of tractors and harvesters, lasted for more than half a month. Judging from the beaming smiles on the team members' faces, Ji Han knew that the harvest had been quite successful.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu also gained a lot of points. Not counting the points they spent, they now have accumulated another 100 points in the system. In addition to the 200 points they hadn't spent before, 352 of them are Dark Values.
Given the speed at which they've been targeted, Ji Han strongly suspects they'll be secretly eliminated before they've even completed one-tenth of their goal.
After hearing Ji Han's concerns, Shi Shaoyu was quite nonchalant, even jokingly saying that mediocre people are not envied. However, not long after, he bought two Body Strengthening Pills and two Strength Pills from the system shop. His more than 10,000 points, which he had just received and hadn't even warmed up yet, were reduced to three digits.
Looking at the pitiful three-digit score and the even more pitiful task completion status, Ji Han felt like he had jumped into a huge pit. After all, spending money in the system did not count towards the task completion progress. However, given the current supply of materials, they estimated that in the short term, they would still have to shop in the system store more than in the outside world.
After the summer harvest, Zhang Dahe became a tractor driver in Zhangzhuang Brigade. To express their gratitude to Shi Shaoyu, the brigade not only arranged the easiest jobs for the two of them, but also introduced them to a martial arts master at Shi Shaoyu's request.
The man called Master Wu was actually Zhang Xingyi, the militia captain of the brigade. Zhang Xingyi was the cousin of the brigade captain Zhang Dezhu. According to the team members, he joined the army when he was thirteen years old and participated in many battles, big and small, when he was young. He was later seriously injured and had to retire.
Originally, the army had arranged a job for him after he was demobilized, but he gave the job to his eldest son due to health reasons and went back to the countryside to retire. Then, he was invited by the battalion commander Zhang Dezhu to help manage and train the militia in the team.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were more than happy to learn from such a person. They were extremely enthusiastic about it and changed their lazy attitude from when they first got to work. They trained exactly as Zhang Xingyi told them to, and sometimes they even secretly did extra training on their own.
Fortunately, Zhang Xingyi wasn't a talkative person. They usually chose less crowded places for training. Otherwise, given their physical strength and daily work performance, even if they got a tractor for the brigade, it wouldn't stop some people with dark intentions from secretly reporting them.
The days passed little by little amidst the two's tearful and joyful training. By the time Ji Han and the others had made some progress and were able to rejoin the crowd to gossip, the autumn harvest was already over.
The team members, pushing carts and carrying baskets and sacks, gathered in the square in front of the brigade headquarters, waiting for the biggest grain distribution day of the year. This year, Zhangzhuang Brigade had good weather and abundant harvests, and the grain yield was much higher than last year. Even the price of work points had risen from more than two cents per work point last year to four cents per work point now.
In other words, a laborer can earn 40 cents a day if they work 10 centimeters, which is 146 yuan a year if there are 365 days. If a family has many strong laborers, they can really have a prosperous year. Of course, the climate in Zhangzhuang Brigade is not suitable for working all year round. Once November arrives, the weather starts to freeze below zero.
However, none of this concerns Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. They have barely managed to accumulate enough work points for the day; otherwise, they would have to spend money to make up for the lost work points, otherwise the team would not distribute rations to them.
