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

"Alright, enough talk, let's get started!"

Gu Tong then started a dual-camera live stream, and he and Ai Kebai each jumped onto the tractor.

Because it's a dual-camera operation, shooting from two different positions will yield better results.

The live stream can switch automatically; he has already set the parameters in advance to ensure the smooth running of the live stream.

The two tractors started from the start line, and Gu Tong's three-furrow plow and Aikebai's five-furrow plow simultaneously cut into the soil.

The roar of the machines is the accompaniment to agricultural machinery operations, and the whole scene is exhilarating to watch.

[Lonely Swordsman]: "It seems that Xiao Ai's device is better than Xigou's!"

【Small Town Exam Taker 123】: "Isn't that obvious? Xiao Ai's device looks a whole size bigger than Xigou's device. Bigger is the truth."

【Ice Lake Snow Lotus】: "The efficiency of dual-machine operation is really high! It's inspiring to see."

......

The live stream was bustling with activity, with the number of viewers exceeding 1500, setting a new record.

Gu Tong was focused on the operation. Although turning the soil had a higher margin for error, he still felt that he should try his best.

Ai Kebai drove the Dongfanghong tractor alongside Gu Tong. His operating skills have improved significantly, and his work efficiency has also increased markedly.

However, in the eyes of fans, there are still differences between the two.

[I don't eat donkey meat]: "I feel that Xigou's homework has a unique rhythm, while Xiao Ai's is a bit lacking."

【Traveling with the Birds】: "That's how it is! The greyhound driving the tractor through the fields is very beautiful, which is exactly what Xiao Ai lacks."

"Agree +1"

"Agree +1"

.......

Gu Tong's skill level has been recognized by fans. Perhaps many people are not experts in this field, but the rhythm and aesthetics can be truly felt by everyone.

At this moment, the two tractors turned around almost simultaneously in front of them, and the distance they had deliberately maintained beforehand left just enough space for them to turn around.

Gu Tong and Ai Kebai's precise maneuvers earned them widespread praise from fans.

The two of them didn't stop to rest, especially Ikebai, who was currently in a state of extreme excitement.

Before noon, they had completed the tilling work on a total of 80 mu of land.

"Family members, aren't you having a feast for the eyes? In the Northwest, the era of farming by manual labor is over. Take Nasu County for example, the mechanization rate of agricultural production has exceeded 90%."

Xiao Ai and I will take a short break at noon. We'll be doing a second round of stone collecting this afternoon. I wonder if everyone still has the patience to continue watching? Okay, that's all for this morning's live stream. See you this afternoon!

Gu Tong walked to the camera position, picked up her phone and chatted with her fans for a few minutes before ending the broadcast.

He then called Ai Kebai back home together, as they would be carrying out a second round of stone-collecting work in the afternoon, and both of them would need to change their farm machinery.

After a simple lunch and a short rest, we returned to the fields.

"Brother Gu, it seems like you have fewer stones in your field than Professor Mao's. You can't tell just by looking at it; it all depends on luck."

Ai Kebai discovered this problem when he helped Gu Tong with his first stone-collecting task.

He didn't say anything at the time, but after turning the soil this morning, he became even more certain that it wasn't a misjudgment on his part; the actual situation was just as he had imagined.

"Yes, just like you said, some things depend entirely on luck, and you can't force them."

Gu Tong laughed it off, not thinking it was a big deal.

A few more or fewer stones in the field won't affect the overall situation; there's a lot more to do afterward. This includes irrigation, fertilization, pesticide spraying, field management, and so on—any one of these will be disastrous.

After Dong Jun arrived, he started the live stream.

The afternoon's stone-collecting operation was slightly adjusted. Gu Tong operated Aikebai's stone-collecting machine, while Aikebai drove Gu Tong's tractor and Dong Jun transported the stones together.

The three of them now work together very well, and their work efficiency has improved compared to before.

"The noise level is quite high during operation, but the cab of the Dongfanghong tractor is well-sealed, so it shouldn't affect the live broadcast."

He still used a dual-camera setup for live streaming, except that one of the phones was mounted inside the cockpit, allowing him to see the open farmland through the windshield.

The pressure of collecting stones mostly comes from transportation, which is why he has the energy to chat with his fans from time to time.

The screen was filled with comments, all sorts of things, and many fans even asked if it was too late to go to Northwest China to farm, and whether they would still get a house and farmland.

"I'm not sure about that! But you can just call and ask. It doesn't necessarily have to be Nasu. Xijiang Province is vast; there might be even better places."

Gu Tong started the voice broadcast and found that the question quickly became the focus of everyone's attention, so he gave a reply.

Fans immediately found a new topic and started chatting enthusiastically about settling down in Northwest China, completely ignoring him, the streamer.

Gu Tong was happy with this. He quietly carried out his work, only occasionally chiming in with a comment from the others.

Three hours later.

The second round of stone-collecting on the 80-acre site was then completed.

"Family members, thank you for being here! Tomorrow there's an important part: opening the compost pile. After that, we'll spread fertilizer and till the soil, followed by sowing."

I'm planting not just crops, but hope for the future! The harvest will determine whether I'll be eating meat and drinking wine or scrambling for food next year. After the spring planting is finished, I plan to take everyone to the mountains; if conditions permit, we might even pick some mushrooms.

Gu Tong spoke from the heart, and although his tone was similar to before, a closer listener could detect a slightly different flavor.

【Lonely Swordsman】: "Little Dog, do you have to be so sentimental? Trust me, you can do it."

[I don't eat donkey meat]: "You'd be better off trusting Xigou. With his diligence, his autumn harvest is sure to be good."

[Traveling with the Birds]: "Go for it! I want to see the rapeseed flowers. Is it July?"

......

As the voice messages echoed in Gu Tong's ears, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Thank you everyone, I will work hard. As the rapeseed producing area with the latest flowering time in the country, the rapeseed flowering season is from the end of June to the beginning of August, with July being the peak flowering period."

Everyone is welcome to visit the rapeseed flower fields when they bloom. If you can't come, just follow along through my lens. Okay, that concludes today's live stream. See you tomorrow!

Gu Tong's words successfully piqued everyone's interest, but he quickly ended the broadcast himself.

Ai Kebai then took the stone-collecting machine home, but it was no longer needed. He would have to bring back all his farm machinery one by one.

"Brother Gu, I have something to tell you. Things with Professor Mao might be a little different from what we thought. Those people who were surrounding him earlier probably weren't just after a little money."

While packing his things, Dong Jun told Gu Tong about a new development.

He had a good relationship with Professor Mao, so he was very angry when Professor Mao was deceived and cheated.

So Dong Jun went to find out more, and the whole thing might also involve Honghe Agricultural Machinery Service Cooperative.

It is said that Li Yong was very unhappy that Professor Mao had given the agricultural machinery service to outsiders instead of the cooperative.

"Are you saying that using inferior seeds and encouraging Professor Mao to plant rapeseed on raised beds was actually retaliation by Li Yong and others?"

Gu Tong gasped in shock after hearing Dong Jun's words.

No wonder Dong Jun said that Li Yong was arrogant and domineering. He felt that another reason should be added: this person was absolutely wicked.

"Yes, it's a pity that it's hard to find any evidence against the other party in these kinds of situations. I've already reminded Professor Mao again, and there's nothing more I can do. Brother Gu, we both need to be careful from now on; that Li Yong guy is no pushover."

Dong Jun knew his own limitations; he couldn't afford to mess with Li Yong and his gang.

All he could do was remind Professor Mao to stay away from those bad friends and not to easily trust others.

At the same time, he was also a little worried that, given Li Yong's personality, he might hold a grudge against Gu Tong for taking Professor Mao's agricultural machinery service contract from him.
