Siheyuan: Why does your brother beat you up every day, Shazhu?

"Master He, I...I'm here to help you!"

He Weiguo nodded:

"Okay, Sledgehammer, hand me that box of tools, and also, bring me that can of kerosene."

Although Li Dachui looks dull, he is very strong and is a good helper.

Li Dachui watched He Weiguo tear the carburetor and air filter apart, more thoroughly than Captain Wen or Liu Jun usually did, and couldn't help but ask worriedly:

"Master He, after dismantling it so loosely, can we put it back together later?"

He Weiguo didn't even raise his head, and deftly cleaned the carbon deposits on the parts with his hands, his tone firm:

"If you can disassemble it, you can put it back together. Don't worry, all the parts will be there."

"Watch carefully from the side. I'll explain the principle to you in detail later when I have time."

"Today is mainly about treating patients, not teaching."

"Oh..." Li Dachui nodded, not quite understanding, and pointed to a shiny copper part in the carburetor:

"Master He, this...how did this needle get worn like this? I saw the captain rub it with sandpaper before..."

He Weiguo picked up the worn float needle and looked at it against the light:

"The material of this thing is not good. It wears out quickly."

"Rubbing the surface is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. You have to check if it's crooked or not, and if the hole is blocked or not."

He carefully poked it with a thin wire. "Look at this metering hole. It's half blocked. It's a wonder the oil can be supplied! How can the idle speed be stable? How can the fuel consumption be low?"

The problems with this GAZ car are far more than that: when in half-clutch state, a harsh "clattering" noise comes from the gearbox.

This is a typical symptom of excessive wear of the clutch plate. There is also a large amount of play in the steering gear, and the steering is unclear.

The drive shaft universal joint is severely worn, and the car body shakes noticeably when driving...

There are constant minor problems inside and outside.

He Weiguo got under the car to check the drive shaft, shook it with his hand, and frowned:

"Sledgehammer! Bring the crowbar! This universal joint is loose. We need to find a way to tighten it. If that doesn't work, put some iron sheet under it!"

He Weiguo spent the entire afternoon hiding under the car or lying in front of the hood.

He was extremely grateful that this body still retained the car repair memories and experience that the original owner had acquired during the Korean War.

If we rely solely on the souls that traveled from the future, we would definitely be terrified and helpless.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if these cars are taken to the two old foreign manufacturers, they may not be able to install them back.

After all, all the parts inside were replaced using traditional methods, so authentic! !

It was not until nearly the end of the working day that He Weiguo finished inspecting the car.

Overall, the first day of work went pretty smoothly, but I wonder how that Shazhu guy is doing with his debt collection! !

Chapter 76: Asking Jia Dongxu to Pay Back the Money (Fourth Update)

A little after five in the afternoon, in front of the steel mill.

Workers leaving work poured out like a flood from a dam.

In the noisy crowd, Xu Damao, He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu were mixed in.

Today, Yi Zhonghai was rarely with them.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Yi Zhonghai is a very smart man.

The scene of Sha Zhu being hung at the door of Jia's house and beaten with a belt by He Weiguo the day before yesterday, and Jia Dongxu being slapped twice is still vivid in my mind.

In fact, when it comes to Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai has the biggest problem!

He hasn't figured out how to deal with He Weiguo yet.

Therefore, he didn't want to get involved in the Jia family's mess for the time being, so as not to get himself into trouble.

The best strategy is to protect yourself.

Sha Zhu walked in the crowd, his heart in turmoil.

His elder brother He Weiguo's cold voice echoed repeatedly in his mind:

"Go to the Jia family and get back the money and grain I lent you, not a penny less, not a grain less!"

"If you don't come back, just wait..."

He spent the whole day flipping the wok in the cafeteria, mentally preparing himself: I must go and ask for it!

The taste of the belt-fried meat that my brother received was so unforgettable that the whip marks on his body were still aching. He really couldn't bear another beating!

But when he really got off work and saw Jia Dongxu's tired and haggard face, he opened his mouth several times, but the words were in his throat and he swallowed them back.

Looking at Jia Dongxu's pitiful appearance, he really couldn't bear to ask for repayment.

Xu Damao next to him was extremely anxious!

He kept in mind He Weiguo's mission of supervising the army!

Seeing Sha Zhu's cowardly look, he quickly poked Sha Zhu's waist with his elbow and made faces!

The meaning is very clear, let him collect the debt!

Sha Zhu became impatient after being stabbed and glared at Xu Damao fiercely.

But the deterrent power of his elder brother was like a sword hanging over his head, coupled with Xu Damao's dog-skin plaster-like supervision, he made up his mind and spoke with a stiff upper lip:

"That...that, Dong...Dongxu brother!"

Sha Zhu licked his dry lips.

"Just before, when your family borrowed money from me, didn't you agree to pay it back on time?"

"Look, this has been delayed for quite some time. I... I'm really short of money here..."

He tried hard to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying:

"My eldest brother...took away all the money in my pocket. Now I only have a few cents left!"

"You say I'm a grown man, but I don't have a couple of coins in my pocket. How...how shabby is that?"

"Can you give me some back first? For an emergency?"

Sha Zhu tried to be as tactful as possible, not mentioning his elder brother's debt collection, but only emphasizing his own difficulties.

But when Jia Dongxu heard that he was asking for money, his already haggard face immediately fell:

"Zhu Zi! My good brother!"

"It's not that I don't want to return it to you! It's that I really don't have it!"

"You know my family situation, don't you? My mom doesn't have a ration, my wife doesn't have a job, and there's still a big mouth waiting for food!"

"With my salary, I can barely make ends meet. How can I have extra money to pay off my debts?"

"If I had it, how could I not give it to you? You're forcing me to jump into the river!"

"We ran out of food at home yesterday," Jia Dongxu wiped away his non-existent tears.

"Banggeng was so hungry that he kept crying. I had to go to Aunt Wang's house in the next yard and borrow half a bucket of corn residue to make ends meet!"

"Zhu Zi, check your conscience, am I the one who owes the debt?"

"I really can't make ends meet!"

This result was within Shazhu's expectations, but he still didn't give up. After all, he was in a difficult situation now:

"Brother Dongxu, I...I'm having a hard time too!"

"These past two days, I've even been saving on the steamed bread from the cafeteria! I really... I really spend every penny very carefully!"

"How about... give me back a few cents first? Let me take a break?"

Sha Zhu thought that the more money he could get back, the better. At least he could report to his elder brother and solve his urgent problem.

If he really couldn't get a single cent back, what would happen to his elder brother... he didn't dare to think about it.

But who is Jia Dongxu?

He had no intention of paying the money back at all!

Not to mention that his pockets are cleaner than his face now, even if he has money, he will never take it out!

He knew Sha Zhu, a soft-hearted sucker, too well. He knew that as long as he cried poor and acted pitiful, he would be able to fool people!

"Pillar!"

Jia Dongxu's face grew long, and his tone hardened a bit:

"What are you talking about! Am I the kind of person who doesn't pay back the money?"

"I really don't have any! It's useless even if you force me to death! You can't ask me to sell blood, right?"

He started to act like a rogue and even resorted to the moral kidnapping tactics he learned from Yi Zhonghai:

"Besides, Zhuzi, we are neighbors, isn't it right for us to help each other?"

"Look at you, one person feeds the whole family, but you're single, what do you need so much money for?"

"My whole family is waiting for the food to be cooked! Can't you understand my difficulties? Why do you have to force me now?"

"Look, your eldest brother is back too. I heard he's a driver. Does your family need this little money?"

"Why are you competing with a poor guy like me?"

Xu Damao, who was standing by, was already furious after hearing this!

He couldn't bear it any longer, jumped out, pointed at Jia Dongxu's nose and cursed:

"Jia Dongxu! Fuck your grandma! Can you still have some shame?"
