Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Men have loud voices, and given their current urgency, their words sound like shouts.

Most of the people in the small restaurant turned to look at the entrance, their eyes filled with envy.

Liu Jia also began to sized up the tractor driver in front of him.

At that time, tractors were a rare commodity. If a production brigade had one or two, it was considered a high level of wealth.

Tractor drivers naturally became seen as capable individuals, attracting attention wherever they went.

This job was one of the eight key positions in the commune, and everyone was envious.

However, the tractor driver in front of us looked rather disheveled.

In the short time it took to say just a couple of words, sweat was already streaming down the man's forehead.

He wiped the sweat from his face, leaving several diesel fuel stains.

Most of the people eating at the small restaurant are employees of state-owned enterprises. Although they want to help, they are powerless to do so.

Whether it's driving or repairing a tractor, these are technical jobs that most people can't do.

Seeing that no one spoke, the man became even more anxious, and his face turned mournful.

Seeing this, Liu Jia asked a question.

"Is the tractor broken?"

"Yeah, I don't know what's wrong, it just won't turn on. I've been looking at it for ages, but I can't figure out what's wrong."

The man quickly picked up the conversation, his eyes filled with urgency.

Liu Jia knew that the man in front of her was not lying.

The sweat on his face and the dirt all over his body were proof of it.

Judging from this, this man must have climbed under the tractor more than once to find out why.

Looking up at the time, Liu Jia immediately lifted his foot.

"I'll show you."

"Okay, thank you so much!"

In his excitement, the man stretched out both hands to shake hands with Liu Jia.

You can see one hand holding the tractor crank, while the other hand is covered in oil, and he awkwardly pulls it back.

Liu Jia smiled and gestured for him to follow.

The people around her who were eating looked away, but Guo Xiaoyan was stunned!

Guo Zhiyuan, who was paying the bill next to him, was also completely bewildered. "He... can fix tractors?"

Guo Xiaoyan looked up in shock, then shook her head vigorously twice.

Can Liu Jia repair tractors?

How can it be!

He only did farm work in the production brigade, earning only five or six work points a day. When would he learn to repair tractors?

Thinking about all this, Guo Xiaoyan felt a surge of anger again.

This Liu Jia is truly insane!

He just wanted to show off in front of his dad!

Without the right tools, how can you take on such a delicate task?

Tractors are advanced machines; if even one part is not handled properly, it could damage the entire machine.

The tractor drivers in the production team are selected from among the best, and even so, they still need to be trained for a month or two before they can take up their posts.

It requires both culture and technology.

Even if you beat Guo Xiaoyan to death, she would never believe that Liu Jia could have such ability!

Guo Xiaoyan was both angry and resentful.

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan had finished paying the bill, Guo Xiaoyan said angrily, "Dad, let's go check on things, lest we cause any trouble!"

"it is good."

Guo Zhiyuan's voice carried a hint of worry, but also a touch of curiosity.

The two of them went out together.

At this moment, Liu Jia had already arrived in front of the tractor.

Before me was a small tractor, about 80-90% new, with the four characters "Dongfanghong" (East is Red) prominently displayed on its front.

Upon seeing the model number, Liu Jia felt even more relieved.

Liu Jia was very familiar with this type of tractor.

In my past life, the first job I found in the city was tractor repair.

At that time, I also met my benefactor, Master Peng.

Master Peng is in his fifties and has a kind heart. He not only doesn't look down on me because I come from the countryside, but he also passed on all his skills to me.

They really taught me step by step.

Liu Jia is hardworking, down-to-earth, and also studies diligently.

The master and apprentice had a very good relationship.

Unfortunately, less than six months later, Master Peng had to return to his hometown, and Liu Jia also resigned because the repair shop was far from Guo Xiaoyan's home and he would miss cooking after get off work.

Later, Liu Jia drove all kinds of tractors, then trucks and cars. With more exposure, his skills never declined.

Liu Jia didn't speak, but the tractor driver next to him began to explain what he had found during his inspection.

"This 'Iron Bull' is acting strangely today. There's still more than half a tank of gas in the fuel tank, but it just won't start."

"You're really making me anxious!"

As he spoke, the tractor driver, not caring that his hands were dirty, slapped his thigh.

"Hmm, it's okay, let me take a look."

As Liu Jia spoke, he opened the fuel tank cap, revealing that there was indeed quite a bit of fuel inside.

This eliminates the possibility of burning the oil.

Then Liu Jia began to inspect the oil pipes and connectors.

The tractor driver next to him stood on tiptoe, craned his neck, and peered over to see what was going on.

Seeing Liu Jia's skillful technique, the tractor driver's expression relaxed a bit.

Driving a tractor is a skilled job, especially since tractors were relatively new and prone to breaking down.

Even after training, they still lack confidence.

Now, when a man sees someone knowledgeable, he practically stares at them with wide eyes, hoping to learn something from them.

At the same time, the tractor driver's heart was in his throat.

The young man in front of me is staring at the oil pump. Could it be that the oil pump is broken?

If that's the case, then a major demolition will be necessary.

At this moment, Liu Jia looked up, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a wrench."

A wrench is a type of wrench.

Upon hearing this, the tractor driver immediately opened his toolbox and handed over the wrench.

Liu Jia took it and was about to tighten the screws when suddenly, an urgent voice came from behind.

"Liu Jia, stop! What are you trying to do!"

"This is a tractor; you'll have to pay for it if you damage it!"

Guo Xiaoyan's eyes were blazing with anger; she wished she could snatch the wrench right now.

I was only a little late, and he actually started to make a move!

Tractors are public property; there aren't many in a whole town. If he breaks one, he can't afford to pay for it!

Liu Jia didn't even look up, continuing with what he was doing.

Guo Xiaoyan was so angry that she stomped her feet, and tears were about to come out.

"Dad, what do you think he's trying to do?"

Guo Zhiyuan patted Guo Xiaoyan on the shoulder and shook his head slightly, indicating that he should take a look first.

Liu Jiasong tugged at the screw, but didn't unscrew it directly. Then he took the crank handle from the tractor.

He applied pressure and turned the crank in one smooth motion.

Oil was leaking from the loose screws.

Liu Jia then said, "The oil pump is fine, it's not broken."

Guo Xiaoyan was stunned.

Guo Zhiyuan also looked incredulous.

The tractor driver next to him nodded vigorously, "Hmm, hmm, not bad."

Seeing someone repairing a tractor on the street, many people curiously gathered around.

In the blink of an eye, a crowd had gathered around the tractor.

The crowd pointed and whispered among themselves.

"So young and already a skilled worker, that's amazing!"

"He's carrying a satchel; he's here to take the college entrance exam, not a skilled worker!"

"Look how well they handle inspections; those who just earn work points don't know how to do that."

"..."

The people around him were talking amongst themselves, but Liu Jia had no interest in paying attention to them.

Since the oil pump is fine, the rest is much easier to handle.

Liu Jia checked the embolism, the lever, and finally the guide tube and valve.

After adjusting the pressure relief device, Liu Jia picked up the crank handle again.

After a few shakes, the tractor started!

"Tu Tu Tu!"

Loud voice!

Full of power!

The tractor driver's eyes widened, and his voice was filled with excitement.

"Wow, bro, you're amazing! You finished it already?"

"never mind."

Liu Jia smiled and nodded, then handed the crank handle to the man.

Just now, I almost said that I'm a seasoned driver, and I can tell something's wrong as soon as I start the tractor and it spins around!

If you say it's okay, then it's definitely okay!

The man took the crank handle and put it back, then patted the tractor head happily.

Then he remembered that Liu Jia's hands were still oily!

He took a coarse cloth towel from the toolbox and quickly handed it to Liu Jia.

"Thanks, brother, thank you so much!"

"It's okay, just a small problem."

Liu Jia didn't stand on ceremony and took the towel to wipe his hands.

I have an exam coming up soon, and my hands can't be dirty.

Liu Jia returned the towel to the man, whose face was already filled with gratitude.

"Hey bro, where are you going? Let me give you a ride! Um, tell me your name and which village you're from, I'll come find you later!"

The man was so excited he was incoherent, looking at Liu Jia as if he were a precious treasure.

Liu Jia shook his head and pointed to the Hongxing Middle School examination site across the street.

"No need, I'm taking the exam right across from you, you go ahead and do your thing!"

"Then tell me your name, and which village you're from!"

The man was stubborn and insisted on exchanging names.

Left with no other choice, Liu Jia had to agree.

Finally, the man said a few more words of thanks before driving away in his tractor.

Liu Jia turned around.

He looked up and was met with Guo Xiaoyan's astonished gaze.
