After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 136, Episode 0141: Eating Melon from Secretary Chen's House (Part Two)
Ye Man, a young woman who married into the village, had a younger brother-in-law named Chen Xiaoliu who was going on a blind date in a few days. Today, she took a day off to go to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative to buy a piece of cloth to make new clothes.

"When Chen Xiaoliu came back, he brought a little girl who was as thin as a monkey and had dark skin. He said he met her on the way back."

The little girl's name is Liu Ya. Look at that, she doesn't even have a proper name. She said her mother's name is Chen Xiaoxiao, and she's the daughter of the village secretary of Hongxing Brigade.

Lin Yuexi remained calm at this point, unaware of how serious the situation was.

It's likely that Chen Xiaoxiao suffered a loss outside and wanted her family to support her, but she knew that because of her past actions, her family wouldn't give her face if she stepped forward, so she sent her youngest daughter instead.

I despise her, what kind of person is she?

However, Ren Yan told her that this was not the case, "According to Huang Liuya, Chen Xiaoxiao has passed away."

Ok.

Ok?
What? ?

Is Secretary Chen having a run of bad luck lately?

On one hand, a minor leader of a committee is causing him trouble, and on the other hand, his beloved daughter has passed away.

Because Secretary Chen was constantly patrolling the fields, Chen Xiaoliu took Huang Liuya to the fields to find him. Coincidentally, when the two met, they were close to where Ren Yan and the others were working, allowing them to witness the drama unfold up close.

As Ren Yan sliced ​​potatoes, she sighed, "Oh, you didn't see it. Huang Liuya is as thin as a stick, with no flesh on her face, her hands are like skeletons, her clothes are all patched, and her hair is all matted together. She looks like a beggar."

This was the first time I'd ever seen Secretary Chen's expression so grim.

In that instant, the image of Secretary Chen as a kind and gentle person that she had always held in her mind was shattered.

But I understand, anyone would have been unable to remain calm in that situation.

They just watched the drama unfold behind the scenes. Whether they could help or not, it was ultimately someone else's family matter. Many people don't like outsiders paying too much attention to their family affairs, let alone interfering.

&
Leng Xingran and the others went to work and came home every day; Lin Yuexi, though not working, was not idle all day either, guiding several students of all ages and spending time with Xiao Zhaoyang every day.

Life went on seemingly peacefully like this.

That day, the village became unusually lively early in the morning. Before the usual time to start work, the fields in the south of the village were already crowded with villagers.

The village's most prized tractor was parked by the roadside, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was that next to the tractor was a lump of iron that looked like a shovel or a rake.

The upper part of the iron lump was encased in a curved sheet of iron, with five triangular 'iron teeth', each about the size of an adult man's foot, protruding from the bottom. These teeth were sharp and gleamed with a cold light.

An old man circled the strangely shaped iron lump again and again, his brow furrowed in worry. "Liang boy, you said this is the thing that can help us dig? Can it even dig anything?"

But it looks pretty... well, how should I put it?

He thought about it.

Oh right, Liangwa said it was high-tech.

It looks quite high-tech.

Anyway, this was the first time he had ever seen it in his life.

A crowd of people gathered around the tractor, all curious about the metal object next to it. However, since the old patriarch of the Chen family was there, everyone just watched with curiosity, without asking any questions.

When Elder Chen asked the question, everyone perked up their ears and fixed their gazes on Chen Youliang. Liangwazi was a high school graduate and had even studied under Lin Zhiqing for several months. They'd heard that Lin Zhiqing had taught them how to make this iron lump, so... he should be reliable, right?

Chen Youliang was well aware of the situation.

Although he had studied under his master (he had already decided in his heart that Lin Yuexi, who had taught him valuable skills, was his master) for several months, he had only learned to repair radios and flashlights. He was still a long way from being able to research something on his own like he was doing now.

But they already experimented with it last night!

With her neck slightly raised, her nostrils flared up, and her face radiated confidence. "Sixth Grandpa, you can rest assured. It's definitely possible. My master designed it herself and personally guided us to make it. Don't you believe me? She even had the city's machinery factory come to ask her for help."

Old Clan Chief Chen also recalled the incident from half a month ago, but he didn't know the details. It seemed that there was a problem with some kind of production line at the city's machinery factory. The person who had promised to fix it kept delaying. Since the young man from Dayou's family happened to work at the machinery factory, he went to Lin Zhiqing.

It is said that Lin, the educated youth, did not even go to the factory. He just asked a few questions over the phone, then told them where the problem lay, and the matter was resolved.

Thinking about this, Elder Chen felt much more at ease.

Their village is lucky; they finally got a truly capable educated youth!

"What are you all doing here? Get back to work! Do you all want your work points deducted or something?"

The captain arrived with his loud roar.

Old Party Secretary Chen followed behind the brigade leader, but today he looked a little listless.

However, no one was paying attention to him now. They couldn't even care about the novel iron lump. Work points were the most important thing. As soon as the brigade leader said that work points would be deducted, the villagers immediately scattered.

The brigade leader ignored those people; he was also preoccupied with the machine that had cost the village nearly three hundred yuan.

“Liangwazi, it was agreed that this piece of land in front of you, ten acres, would be yours for experiments.”

He didn't say whether it was successful or not. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he knew that these kids had secretly experimented with it once last night in the north of the village.

The fact that they put on this show so early in the morning was specifically for the villagers to see...

Well, it's almost three hundred yuan. I need to make some money to cover that.

It's not easy for their village to save up some money!
Chen Youliang excitedly exclaimed "Hey!" Although the plow was quite large, it was equipped with wheels underneath, so one person could easily push it to the back of the tractor for loading and unloading.

After assembling the tractor, Chen Youliang took out the crank handle from the vehicle and started the tractor with a cool gesture.

The "putt-putt-putt" sound drew the attention of the villagers who were already watching the scene even more closely. They could see the metal lump had been loaded onto the back of the tractor, and they all looked at the assembled behemoth with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

Even though the climate in Northeast China is warming up now, the soil is still rock hard.

They actually have a lot of land here, but because the permafrost is difficult to dig, the amount of land that can be reclaimed is limited. After a year of hard work, even a bumper harvest can only guarantee enough to make ends meet.

If, if this big iron lump can really dig, then wouldn't they be able to grow more crops this year?!
Does that mean we won't have to go hungry anymore?

With everyone's expectant gazes upon it, the tractor chugted into the field.

Then, everyone witnessed a miraculous scene: the 'teeth' beneath the iron lump were alive, slowly extending down and deeply embedding themselves in the soil.

As the tractor slowly moved forward, the soil that everyone had been digging with all their might but couldn't dig very deep was easily lifted up like cotton by those 'teeth'.
