The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 204
"How is it? Can it be fixed?" The man looked at Yan Jiecheng and asked nervously.

Yan Jiecheng thought that the pipe inside was probably burnt, so he said, "It can be repaired, but it needs to be replaced. I'll open it first and look inside to see if there are other problems."

"It's good if it can be repaired, you see." The man thought that anyway, it was agreed just now, and if he can't repair it, Yan Jiecheng will pay him money.

Yan Jiecheng took the toolbox that Liu Guangtian handed over, took out the screwdriver and opened the radio casing, and saw that there was a blackened electronic tube inside. It was indeed burnt out, and he checked the other places again.

There were no other problems, so Yan Jiefang asked Yan Jiefang to go to a department store to buy a tube from a place that sold radios.

Then he turned his head to the man and said, "I sent someone to buy accessories. It will take a while for the machine to be repaired. Why don't you find a place to sit?"

The man waved his hand: "No, I can just stand up. I see that you are very skilled in dismantling the machine just now, why haven't you seen you before?"

"This is also the first time for us to come here, and we have been at Xizhimen before." Of course, Yan Xiecheng could not say that this was the first time they were being repaired by others, otherwise he would run away, so he could only talk about a place to send him there. .

"Your machine looks quite new, is this newly bought?"

"You're mistaken. I bought it for more than ten years, and I bought it when I got married. It's well maintained, and I don't use it often. Usually, my parents listen to the radio." The man heard Yan Xiecheng joking. replied.

After waiting for a while, Yan Jiefang ran back on his bicycle out of breath, parked the bicycle, and handed the tube in his hand to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Xiecheng removed the blackened pipe, installed the newly bought one, and then plugged in the power, there was a crisp sound coming from inside.

The man listened to the voice from the radio and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, the voice used to be like this, I thought it couldn't be fixed."

"How is it possible, as long as it is broken, it can be repaired, it's just a question of how much money it takes." Yan Xiecheng said with a smile, this is the first time he has repaired electrical appliances with others.

"That's right, by the way, I'll give you how much it costs to repair this machine." The man realized whether the money was given or not, so he asked Yan Jiecheng.

"You can give me five yuan. The main reason for asking for so much is that one pipe broke, and we didn't earn much." Yan Xiecheng explained. Yan must know that the monthly living expenses of a person in an ordinary family is only this amount. Yan Jiefang I told him just now that the pipe cost more than four yuan, and they only earned a few cents.

The man didn't think it was too much after hearing it. He took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it directly to Yan Jiecheng, and then left with the radio in his arms. He was by the side when the radio was being repaired just now. The pipe alone cost more than four yuan, and the family didn't want much.

When the people walked away, Liu Guangtian smiled happily. "Brother-in-law, it's too easy for us to earn money. We can earn [-] cents in a short while, but it can't be more than ten yuan in a day, and it's just a month..." Liu Guangtian counted his fingers while talking.

"Shut up you, it's so easy, it's a replacement part, if there are some minor problems, you will only be charged a fee of one or two cents, besides,
Now where do we get so many electrical appliances for us to repair. "Yan Jiefang stared at Liu Guangtian angrily, thinking that this kid thinks more beautifully than him, if it is so easy to make money, then why should he work.

"It's fine to earn a few yuan a day, which is more than my salary." Then Liu Guangtian began to count on his fingers how much he earned a day and how much he earned a month.

Watching it, Yan Xiecheng had a headache: "Okay, don't count, you should rest while you have this time. You have to run errands later, it's your turn."

"I know brother-in-law, isn't it the first time I've made money fast, I'm a little happy." Liu Guangtian said with a grin.

Yan Jiefang heard Liu Guangtian opened his eyes and said nonsense, and immediately replied: "This is not the first time, you forgot about asking me to paint my bicycle, I don't believe you didn't ask me for more money."

"Cough, cough, it's been so many years, I've forgotten it, just that one time, how long did you remember it?" Liu Guangtian said awkwardly, at that time he hadn't married Yu Haitang, and he had no relatives with the old Yan's family. Relationship, when you can't help in vain, shouldn't you take some kickbacks?

"As for it, of course I will. It's several dollars, but it's not 01:30. No, you have to return the money to me." Yan Jiefang looked at Liu Guangtian angrily.

"Okay, the past is over, don't make troubles, you have to feel sorry for what you did back then." Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Jiefang speechlessly.

"My brother-in-law is right. It's been years since you did this. Besides, I got a lot of favors to help you paint that bicycle. This debt of favor is harder to repay than money."

Yan Jiefang looked at himself and said, but Liu Guangtian muttered, "I'm too lazy to talk to you", picked up the cigarette that Yan Jiecheng put on the car, and ran away to smoke by himself.

Afterwards, several waves of people came to ask them to repair electrical appliances, most of them were small electrical appliances, and some even came to ask if the electric light at home was broken. repaired.

Yan Jiecheng was busy until after three o'clock in the afternoon before he planned to call it a day, and they didn't even eat lunch.

"Okay, everyone, we are going back to eat, and there are still repairs to be made until next Sunday. We are still here."

After sending them away, Yan Jiecheng brought Liu Guangtian and the others to a small restaurant.

After ordering a few dishes and some steamed buns, Yan Jiefang originally wanted to share the money and go home to eat, but it was Yan Jiecheng who persuaded him to come down.

Don't worry about the money, it's not just this time, there will be opportunities in the future, the first time to earn extra money, the three of them have to celebrate anyway.

After ordering, the three found a table next to the window and sat down.As soon as he sat down, Liu Guangtian couldn't wait to ask Yan Jiefang: "Jiefang, how much did we earn today? How about you take it out and I'll count it for you."

"I don't need you, I've counted it several times, and it's four or seven dollars in total." Yan Jiefang looked at Liu Guangtian with a look of disgust, and asked him to count, but he had to snap his fingers again with his brain.

"Ah, I see quite a lot. Why is it only four yuan?"

"It looks like a lot of them. They are all small jobs. How much do you want to ask someone to fix a flashlight or something?" Yan Jiefang said to Liu Guangtian angrily.

"Okay, it's quite a lot. From now on, you two will go to work. You can earn two or three yuan a day, which is enough for you to buy a pack of cigarettes and go to a restaurant. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

"If you two save a little, you can save about ten yuan this month."

.........

Yan Jiecheng and the three of them returned to the courtyard after eating at the restaurant. Yan Jiefang was afraid that Wu Juan would find out, so he gave Yan Jiecheng the tools and went to his house to get them next time.

Back home, Yu Li pulled Yan Jiecheng and asked how the harvest was today.

She was moved when she heard Yan Jiecheng say that she earned several dollars a day, which was equivalent to her salary for several days.

That is to say, their family is not short of money, otherwise she would have quit her job and spent all day repairing electrical appliances for others.
