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

Chapter 0013 Mutual Help, Good News

"Here I am, Brother Gu. How did the exam go today?"

Dong Jun then came out of the room at the east end, followed closely by Xiao Shitou, who excitedly pounced on Gu Tong.

"I've already passed the test, and I'll pick up my driver's license in a few days."

Gu Tong responded with a smile, then bent down and picked up the small stone.

During the few days he was away for training, he kept in touch with Dong Jun every day, which is why the other party knew about his assessment today.

"Congratulations! You're much better than I was back then. It took me half a month to get my driver's license, but you only took four days! I brought some food; heat it up and we can have a couple of drinks later."

Dong Jun couldn't help but sigh, then pointed to a large cardboard box placed at the entrance of the living room.

He came here partly to celebrate Gu Tong's completion of her studies, and partly to have a good chat with her.

"What else did you bring with you when you came here?"

Gu Tong casually said something, then put the small stone on the ground and went into the house with Dong Jun.

Not long after, Gu Tong brought over the heated food and sat down with Dong Jun to drink and chat.

"Spring planting is about to begin, when will your farm machinery arrive?"

Everyone here makes a living from the land, and they can't help but talk about their profession. Dong Jun then started talking about spring planting.

"It should be within the next few days, Brother Dong. Do you have something in mind?"

This wasn't the first time the two had discussed this topic, and Gu Tong, sensing the underlying meaning in the other's words, took the initiative to ask further questions.

"I have some ideas, Brother Gu. You have to take care of 80 acres of land by yourself, and I also lack help. We can help each other during the spring planting season."

Also, if you're planning to provide agricultural machinery services and need help, feel free to call me. I can even make a little extra money by doing it for you.

Dong Jun doesn't like to beat around the bush and directly states his thoughts.

He has been working alone for so many years and has come to deeply appreciate the importance of having a helper.

In particular, if he wants to make some money in agricultural machinery services, it's very troublesome for one person, and he and Gu Tong won't have any conflict of interest.

For example, when helping people clear land, a stone-collecting machine needs to be accompanied by a separate transport tractor during operation.

One person operates the stone-collecting machine, and another drives the tractor to load stones and other debris; this job cannot be done by one person alone.

"Brother Dong, your idea is great! It's mutually beneficial, so let's not say anyone's taking advantage of anyone else!"

After listening, Gu Tong nodded repeatedly.

Even if Dong Jun didn't contact him today, he would still take the time to talk to him about this.

"Thanks, Brother Gu! Cheers, let's drink to our upcoming collaboration!"

Dong Jun liked the other person's straightforwardness, so he raised his glass, clinked glasses with the other person, and drank it all in one gulp.

The two got along so well that they finished a bottle of wine before they knew it.

"Let's call it a day since we've had our fill of drinks."

Dong Jun didn't drink too much, and then he called someone from the same village. Soon after, two young men arrived.

One person gave Dong Jun a ride, while another rode Dong Jun's motorcycle, and they disappeared into the night.

Gu Tong stood outside the yard for a while until the sound of the motorcycle engine gradually faded into the distance before returning inside.

I played with Xiao Shitou for a while in the evening, and then he went to bed early.

This day was more tiring than cleaning the yard all day!

the next day.

Gu Tong got up as soon as it was light.

"You can take the second Body Strengthening Pill now."

He was told to take one pill every three days at most, but he hadn't had time to take it because he was busy with his studies these past few days.

With nothing much to do today, Gu Tong opened the box, took out a pill after breakfast, peeled off the outer beeswax, and popped it into her mouth.

He felt warm all over again, and after the warmth subsided, he realized that he was a little sticky, so he quickly took a shower.

After he finished showering, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

"Get to work, get to work!"

Gu Tong then started a live stream and continued tidying up his yard.

"A few days ago I went to the county to attend an agricultural machinery training course. Now I have good news to report to everyone: I have successfully passed the test and obtained my G license."

My next task is to finish cleaning the yard as soon as possible, then build some facilities there, and prepare for spring planting. Little Stone, come on, say hello to everyone.

Gu Tong continued her usual livestreaming style, greeting everyone with Xiao Shitou before burying herself in her work.

Little Stone would occasionally cause trouble, but he wouldn't get angry; at most, he would just pick the little guy up and throw him aside.

The live stream gradually became lively, and the number of viewers quickly rose, soon exceeding 300.

Because Gu Tong was away studying and hadn't been livestreaming for the past few days, his fan growth had almost stagnated. But today, shortly after he started livestreaming, his fan count saw a significant increase.

At that moment, a comment that appeared on the screen drew everyone's attention.

I don't eat donkey meat: "Did you all notice? Xi Gou seems to have gotten a bit stronger."

Many people only realized later that the streamer had indeed become more robust than before, worked more efficiently, and had significantly longer rest intervals.

"You know what, the greyhound really did start developing."

......

This sentence immediately went viral, and many people spontaneously joined in, having a great time.

Xu Zejun happened to be relatively free today, and when he opened his phone, he saw that Gu Tong had started a live broadcast, so he watched it.

Seeing the frenzy in the live stream, I couldn't resist joining in.

To be honest, Gu Tong's current good condition was beyond his expectations. Looking closely, the guy had actually gained some weight.

"You've all noticed, huh? I have indeed gained some weight. Nasu is a great place to nourish the body; the beef and mutton are delicious and nutritious, and combined with the physical labor I do regularly, my health is getting better and better."

Gu Tong naturally couldn't mention the "body-strengthening pills," but regular sleep patterns and good lifestyle habits were also prerequisites for improving physical condition.

Lonely Swordsman: "Is the beef and mutton over there really that good? I'll have to go check it out when I have time."

Traveling with the birds: "All I think about all day is food. Didn't you guys notice how incredibly beautiful the scenery is over there? I'll go when it gets hot."

Many fans went from simply finding it amusing to envying Gu Tong's life.

Gu Tong didn't participate in their discussion, only occasionally saying a word, and gave the center position to Xiao Shitou.

The live stream's popularity continued to grow, with the number of fans breaking through the 500 and 600 marks one after another, finally stopping at 621.

[Influence expands, Shennong value +2]

Gu Tong gained 2 Shennong Points for gaining 200 new followers.

After advancing his cultivation level, Shennong's value, which was originally only 1 point, has now become 3 points.

He was very happy, as each increase in Shennong points brought him one step closer to unlocking the [Shennong Pavilion]. However, he decided to stop while he was ahead and ended the broadcast around noon.

They ate leftovers for lunch; the food Dong Jun brought yesterday was still uneaten and enough for him to have a hearty meal.

He had meat to eat, so naturally he didn't forget Little Stone. In the end, the two of them, one human and one dog, finished off all the leftovers without wasting a single bit.

He had originally planned to take a nap at noon, but before he could even lie down, he received a call from Gulixian.

"Gu Tong, come to the bank this afternoon. The loan has been approved. Once you sign the loan agreement, the funds will be deposited into your account immediately."

"This is fantastic news! I'll set off right away; the sooner I get things done, the more at ease I'll be. Gulixian, thanks! I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Okay, see you this afternoon!"

Although it was something she had expected, Gu Tong was still very happy.

However, from the moment the loan is credited to his account, it means that he will have to pay interest every day he wakes up, which puts him under considerable pressure.
