Protagonist:

Chai Mi

"Uh..." Hearing Chai Mi's bad tone, Chai Youqing only then stopped messing with Lao Qingniu and started to go check the plow handle.

He took a look and found there was indeed a problem, only then did he pick up the living board and start repairing it; it was a few fixed screws that had loosened.

That is to say, the threads were stripped...

Chai Youqing was just repairing it when he heard a noisy commotion coming from the old house in front, as if a group of people were making trouble...

Chai Youqing put down the plow handle in his hand, just wanting to move, when Chai Mi called out to him: "Dad, you repair your plow handle, don't start being unable to control your legs every time something happens at the old house. The old man and old woman are far from death, no need for you, this great filial son, to go provide for them in their old age and see them off!"

Chai Youqing was instantly at a loss for words, and could only squat down and continue repairing his own plow handle.

Chai Mi brewed a pot of tea all by herself, but then couldn't be bothered to drink it.

The tea was too hot, not drinking it was hot weather, drinking it made the stomach hot.

Anyway, this damn weather, hot to death, uncomfortable to the extreme, whole body listless.

Chai Mi was just feeling irritable beyond measure when she heard the chug-chug-chug of a tractor on the street, and in a moment's time, the tractor stopped at the door.

Chai Mi raised her head and looked, and sure enough it was Liu Zhijing driving a tractor delivering fertilizer.

In these times, having a tractor was the most awesome production tool, much better than an ox cart.

(Explanation: old-style vehicles like ox carts and donkey carts, the cart is relatively small, carrying capacity is very low, generally can only load a few hundred catties of stuff, if you load a thousand catties of stuff, it's especially strenuous, one is the space isn't enough, two is the ox might not be able to pull it. This is also the main reason Chai Mi looked for Liu Zhijing, the family's ox being tired is one thing, not being able to pull it is also the actual situation.)

Liu Zhijing stopped the tractor, and even specially took off the pair of white gloves on his hands, then said: "Oh my, Youqing Uncle is at home, huh..."

Chai Youqing frowned: It's already seven in the evening, the sky is dark, if I'm not at home, where would I go? Do I have to learn from your dad, in the middle of the night going everywhere knocking on other people's widows' doors...

Cough cough...

Liu Zhijing's father Liu Zhanggui, right now is just an old bachelor, although knocking on widows' doors is purely Chai Youqing's fabrication, Liu Zhanggui going everywhere strolling and visiting neighbors is true.

After all, Liu Zhanggui has nothing to do, and no one cares about him.

Moreover, Liu Zhanggui is the Village Chief... the village is big, affairs are many.

Today the east family has an incident, tomorrow the west family has an incident, the day after tomorrow this one invites him to drink wine, the day after that that one invites him to be the guest greeter...

Liu Zhanggui is busy to the point of being unable to get away every day.

"At home, what's the matter?!"

Liu Zhijing blanked for a moment: "I came to deliver fertilizer to Chai Mi."

Chai Youqing was also stunned:???

My family's Chinese cabbage was arching by a pig?

Deliver what fertilizer?

Liu Zhijing definitely has no good intentions!!!

But before Chai Youqing could speak, Chai Mi walked out lazily, smiling as she said: "Hard work, hard work."

Liu Zhijing instantly looked like he'd been injected with duck blood, hurriedly saying he wasn't tired, almost blurting out: Serving you, I couldn't ask for more.

"Dad, where do you think is best to put the fertilizer?" Chai Mi asked.

Chai Youqing scanned the courtyard, and finally said: "Put it on that drip water platform under the eaves for now."

(The drip water platform refers to a platform built to prevent eaves dripping water from causing pits in the ground; generally bricks are used to pad it up, raising it above ground level, facilitating drainage. Hence called a platform, full name drip water platform. In later generations mostly cement concrete structure.)

"Okay, wherever is fine." Liu Zhijing said: "Then I'll drive the car in, it can be a bit closer..."

"That won't do, this vehicle easily presses a row of pits into my... my family's courtyard." Chai Youqing directly refused.
