After the divorce, he settled in Northwest China and became a Shennong (a legendary Chinese farmer).

The next day.

After feeding Xiao Shitou, Gu Tong prepared to go to the county.

Little Stone probably knew that the other person was going out without him, so it clung to Gu Tong's trouser leg and refused to let go.

"You stay home and behave yourself. Someone will come over to feed you at noon."

Gu Tong picked up the small stone, put it back in its nest, and then drove away from home.

Upon arriving in the county town, he went directly to the agricultural machinery company, where Fan Li was waiting for him.

"Mr. Gu, this is your registration card. Just take this card to the agricultural machinery station for training. Best of luck."

Fan Li handed over the registration card with a smile, gave a brief explanation, and then fell silent.

"Thank you, Manager Fan! You don't need to be so polite in the future, just call me by my name."

This was a favor, neither too big nor too small, and Gu Tong kept it in mind.

Fan Li had no obligation to help him arrange this matter, but since the other party still did it, he should thank her out of both courtesy and reason.

After a few more casual words, Gu Tong took the registration card and went to the agricultural machinery station.

The training venue was a large conference room at the agricultural machinery station. When he entered, there were already quite a few people inside. After everyone had arrived, he counted the heads; there were 15 trainees in total. The training class was smaller than he had expected.

"Quiet!" After waiting for nearly fifteen minutes, a man around fifty years old walked onto the podium. "My surname is Luo, you can call me Coach Luo. I will be in charge of the teaching for the next five days."

Coach Luo was serious and didn't exchange many pleasantries with everyone. After a brief self-introduction, he began the theoretical teaching.

"I know that some of you here have driver's licenses, but driving agricultural machinery is not the same as driving a car. Over the next few days, I hope everyone will study hard and strive to pass the agricultural machinery driver's license test on the first try."

"Next, we will first learn about the Road Safety Law and the Regulations for Agricultural Machinery Safety Supervision..."

Coach Luo led everyone through a theoretical study session. He spoke quickly and finished explaining the content in just one hour.

"Everyone, go back and memorize these things. As long as you put in the effort, you'll definitely pass the theory test. Okay, fifteen-minute break. Next, we'll talk about the use and maintenance of agricultural machinery. get out of class dismissed."

The theoretical assessment mainly relies on rote memorization, so Coach Luo doesn't plan to spend too much time explaining it.

Whether you pass the theoretical exam or not depends mainly on yourself; no matter how much he talks, it's useless.

During the break, Gu Tong went to the restroom and returned to continue with the second class.

"Today we'll mainly talk about the use and maintenance of tractors. Tractors are divided into wheeled tractors, tracked tractors, and walking tractors, etc. The corresponding driver's licenses differ depending on the type of tractor..."

"Tractors are easy to learn but difficult to master, and their applications are more complex than those of cars. In addition to attaching trailers, tractors are also involved in field operations, such as tilling, preparing the land, and sowing, which require attaching different agricultural machinery."

Coach Luo started by talking about tractors, introducing not only the different types of tractors but also the corresponding driver's license assessment standards.

Gu Tong couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This assessment system, like that for cars, was divided into different categories of driver's licenses, and was even more complicated.

However, the Lovol 704 tractor he purchased is a medium-to-large wheeled tractor, so he only needs to obtain a G license and doesn't need to consider anything else.

Gu Tong discovered that Coach Luo's lectures were quite effective, with clear and well-organized explanations that ensured everyone could understand them.

Moreover, the content is not boring at all; it often uses specific events in rural areas as examples, which easily resonates with the audience.

"Alright, that's all for this morning. This afternoon, I will take you to visit various exhibits and provide on-site explanations and demonstrations on their operation and maintenance."

Practical training will begin tomorrow, followed by a theoretical assessment on the morning of the fifth day. Those who pass the theoretical assessment will then proceed to the practical assessment and road test. get out of class dismissed!

Before they knew it, it was noon. After giving a few instructions, Coach Luo ended the morning's classes.

Gu Tong never expected the training course schedule to be so tight. There were only four days of actual study time out of the five days, and various assessments would be conducted on the fifth day.

But after thinking about it for a while, I felt relieved.

Agricultural machinery driving is not like car driving, and there are not many people who usually participate in the assessment, so this arrangement can improve efficiency.

Didn't Coach Luo say that tractor (agricultural machinery) driving and operation is easy to learn but difficult to master? Once you learn it, you can get a driver's license, and you can continue to improve in practice.

As the trainees left one after another, Gu Tong followed them out of the agricultural machinery station. He then spotted Gu Lixian and Fan Li standing by the roadside.

"Gulixian, Manager Fan, what are you doing here?"

Gu Tong stepped forward and greeted the two of them.

"I asked Sister Fan to have lunch with me, but she said you came to the county for training, so I thought I'd invite you along. I sent you a message but you didn't reply, so I guess I'll just have to wait here..."

Gulixian wore a red woolen coat over her work clothes, and every smile and gesture made her exceptionally radiant and beautiful.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Gu Tong quickly took out her phone to check, and sure enough, the other person had sent several messages.

"Sorry, I had a theory class this morning, and I put my phone on silent, so I didn't see it. What do you two want to eat for lunch? It's on me."

Since Gu Lixian and Fan Li had both helped him, Gu Tong decided to take this opportunity to treat them to a meal to express his gratitude.

"How could I let you treat me? Gulixian introduced me to such a big client, and she's been nagging me to treat her to a meal ever since. You can't compete with me. We're planning to go for minced meat pilaf, what do you think?"

Fan Li quickly took over the conversation, saying that she would treat everyone to lunch today.

It wasn't a formal dinner, just a casual meal, so it wasn't Gu Tong's place to pay.

"Minced meat pilaf sounds good, let's go then."

Gu Tong did not insist and went with the two to a well-known local pilaf restaurant.

樊丽点了3份碎肉抓饭、3碗酸奶、20串烤羊肉、20串烤羊肠、3串烤羊排，等了没多久，碎肉抓饭和酸奶就端了上来。

"Gu Tong, try this yogurt, it's delicious. By the way, what will happen to Xiao Shitou while you're away studying?"

Gulixian is very good at creating a lively atmosphere; since the three of them met, there hasn't been a moment of awkward silence.

She logged into her account in the morning, but Gu Tong hadn't started a live stream at all, so she naturally didn't see Xiao Shitou.

That little sheepdog is still on my mind.

"Mmm, I'll try it. I've asked a friend to look after Little Stone, and besides, I'll be back tonight, so it'll be fine."

Gu Tong took a sip of the yogurt; it did taste quite good.

The three of them started eating, and the barbecue was served soon after. Gu Tong ate with great relish.

He really enjoyed the food in Nasu, and he ate all kinds of beef and mutton. At least half of the barbecue on the table ended up in his stomach.

Fan Li had ordered quite a lot of barbecue, but with Gu Tong, this big eater, there was no way to stop the plates from being empty. She called over the waiter to order some more roasted lamb.

"No, no, I'm full."

Gu Tong waved his hands repeatedly, saying that the portions in the Northwest were already larger than in the South, and with so much barbecue, even the biggest stomach would be full.

"Are you really full? If you're being polite and going hungry, then don't blame me."

Fan Li was delighted and immediately got up to pay the bill.

Gu Tong and Gu Lixian went outside and waited at the restaurant entrance.

"Gu Tong, your loan application is still under review. The results will be available soon, and there shouldn't be any problems."

Gulixian then recounted the progress of the loan application, telling the other party not to rush.

Gu Tong nodded. He knew that this was the bank's procedure, and it couldn't be rushed.

"Could you please keep an eye on things for me? Thanks!"

At this moment, Fan Li also came over and overheard their conversation. She said, "Don't worry about my situation. I will definitely deliver the goods on time. You can focus on studying for your driver's license test."

After saying that, the other person handed Gu Tong a bag.

Gu Tong instinctively took the bag and glanced inside. The contents were wrapped up so tightly that she couldn't see anything. Curious, she asked, "What's this?"

"This is for you. You'll see when you open it later."

Fan Li and Gu Lixian turned and left. Gu Tong watched their retreating figures and muttered to herself, "So mysterious. Let me see what good stuff they have."
