All Fixed

The Lus were curious too, all eager to hear Lin Nannan’s reply.

"The village’s harvester is broken. I checked, and we’ve got the parts at home to fix it. The village head agreed to pay me twenty yuan. I need help, so I’m taking A Ming along—so he can earn a cut too." After saying this, Lin Nannan happily announced to them, "From now on, I’ll be the one operating the village’s harvester. Not bad pay, huh?"

The Lus didn’t know what to celebrate first.

"Can you really fix it?" Granny Lu asked.

"Nan Nan, do you really know how to operate a harvester?" Zhang Xiaofeng followed up.

The rest of the Lus stared at her as she confidently declared, "That’s nothing. It’s like child’s play. Not only can I fix it, but I can also make the harvester work even better than before."

From the wheelchair she had built, it was clear she was truly skilled. The Lus were thrilled but also uneasy.

Money was tight now. Knowing that Lu Hang was being taken care of by Lin Nannan, Lu Fang and Lu Zheng had gone out to find work, but the two of them combined still earned less than Lin Nannan. This left them torn.

If it weren’t for Nan Nan, this family would have fallen apart by now.

"Mom," Lin Nannan said, seeing how excited her mother-in-law and grandmother were. She thought of something and asked, "Harvest time’s almost here, and every village is waiting for the harvester. If I teach Dad and second uncle how to operate it, couldn’t they earn money too?"

They’d make just as much as from odd jobs.

"Operate a harvester?" Pan Xiaoping was the first to snap to attention, exclaiming excitedly, "Can they really do it?"

This was skilled work. Without a teacher, you’d never crack it or dare to try.

If they really learned, not only would they earn a lot during harvest season every year, but they’d also be respected and treated like kings—better than any gig.

Yeah, they’d bake in the sun, but it wouldn’t be tiring.

"Of course! I’ve got their backs!" Lin Nannan patted her chest and said.

Lu Ming perked up. "Sister-in-law, I want to learn too!"

"No problem!"

One more or less made no difference to her. She said it without any hesitation.

The Lu women were thrilled and full of hope. Lu Hang watched his proud wife, just praying to heal faster. Otherwise, with the whole family relying on her, the pressure on him would be even greater.

...

Though the Lus were happy, they kept it quiet.

Han Yan wasn’t around, so no one else knew about their excitement.

Lin Nannan selected the parts, brought the tools, and had Lu Ming follow her as they quietly entered the warehouse, getting to work...

Lu Yuan, out of curiosity, joined them too.

Seeing how filthy the harvester was, she even helped clean it.

By the time Lin Nannan finished repairing and modifying it, and actually drove it out of the warehouse, the fields were ready for harvest.

Over the past few days, Lu Ming had followed his sister-in-law closely, mastering the harvester inside out—all that was left was to try operating it himself.

The warehouse yard was quite spacious, and since it wasn't the busy farming season yet, few people came around. So after testing the harvester's performance, Lin Nannan let Lu Ming take over while she supervised from the side.

Lu Ming was bold, and with Lin Nannan there, he felt completely secure. He started operating it directly, and after some initial nervousness, he gradually got comfortable with it.

"Sis, am I good now?" he couldn't help but ask proudly.

Lin Nannan scoffed, "What’s there to be proud of with just this? Wait till you drive big trucks or even fly planes—then you can brag to me."

"Big trucks? Planes?" Lu Ming, who had never even dreamed of such things in his lifetime, was completely floored.
