Chapter 253: Xiao Lu’s wife can repair watches?
Zhang Xiaoshu, the daughter of Aunt Wang, followed Aunt Wang with red and swollen eyes. The watch was the most valuable gift Liu Benzhong had given her.
But now it has been ruined by her careless sister Zhang Xiaocao. How can she not be angry and sad?
Aunt Wang felt extremely distressed. Originally, the family was supported by only Lao Zhang's salary. Now the family had to buy dowry items and save money for food. How could they have the spare money to repair the watch?
At this moment, we can only place our hopes on Zhi Meizi.
The sisters-in-law in the family compound were all paying attention to this matter. When they saw Aunt Wang taking Xiaoshu to Captain Lu's house, they all came over following the smell.
"If we take it to the city to have it repaired, it will cost a fortune."
Nowadays, everyone is used to being poor and uses the most economical and simplest method to solve problems.
Either don't repair it and don't wear it, or find someone you know to see if he can repair it.
"Fix it for Xiaolu's wife? Can she do it?"
"How dare you let Jiang Zhizhi touch such a precious watch?"
"What if it breaks down? If you throw a stone into the water, there will be some water splashing up. If it breaks down, isn't that just throwing the stone into the water?"
In their hearts, people don't believe that Jiang Zhizhi can repair watches.
At this moment, Jiang Zhizhi didn't know whether he was either doubting or on the way to being doubted.
Nong Chunhua was good friends with Mrs. Wang, and she called the person over only after getting Zhi Meizi's consent.
Aunt Wang was also worried. She was poor and could not afford to take the watch out for repair. But if it was not repaired, the crying of grievances at home never stopped.
The sisters-in-law who followed kept glancing at Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly, "I'm going to open it and check it."
Auntie Wang stammered, "Tear down...all of them?"
If someone else had said this, Wang would have rejected it outright, saying that she was worried about everything. What if she couldn't put it back together after taking it apart? How could a lady be willing to take it apart?
But this time it was Jiang Zhizhi, so Aunt Wang still gave the decision-making power to Xiaoshu.
Zhang Xiaoshu took a deep breath, carefully took out the stopped watch from his pocket, looked at Jiang Zhizhi nervously, and said in a trembling voice: "Hello, sister Zhi, please, the watch is really very important to me."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded. Mrs. Wang was diligent in the mountain herb-collecting team and was a nice person. Zhang Xiaoshu's target was a soldier in her brother's second battalion and was said to have good character.
Besides, Jiang Zhizhi hadn't touched this kind of mechanical watch for a long time, and he was suddenly addicted to it, so he simply agreed to do it.
Before she crossed into the book, had she dismantled many "big guys" in the special forces? She said confidently that she could put the dismantled things back intact.
Jiang Zhizhi took out a set of maintenance tools from the room and placed them on the wooden table in the small courtyard. She sat on a chair and began to disassemble the watch.
Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their heads, their hearts were hanging in the air, and they watched with fear and terror.
Is it really demolished?
Without any hesitation at all?
Aunt Wang's heart was trembling, and she didn't dare to take her eyes off Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi ignored what her sisters-in-law were thinking and quickly disassembled the mechanical watch into a pile of parts.
She looked at the inside of the watch of this era with interest, and it was indeed simpler than watches of later generations.
Everyone saw Jiang Zhizhi stop what he was doing, and their eyes were filled with disappointment.
They said, repairing a watch is not that easy, otherwise, would those experienced masters who make a living from this craft set the price so high?
Watches are delicate things, and every part must be precisely reset. Sometimes, some difficult problems require even experienced masters to spend two or three days to repair. In short, it is not that easy.
So, how can this cute little girl repair things?
"No wonder watches are so expensive. It turns out there are so many small parts inside. This is the first time I've seen this."
"Don't talk about you. I don't even have a watch. I'm poor and can't afford one!"
Zhang Xiaoshu was too angry to say a word, his heart was beating wildly, and he just stared at Jiang Zhizhi, with all the words that were about to come out of his mouth stuck in his throat.
Is Zhi Meizi stumped?
Aunt Wang's eyes widened even more, and her legs felt a little weak at this moment.
The four brothers sitting next to them smiled lazily because they saw that familiar smile on their sister's face.
Jiang Yuanyang even grinned with pride, which made Lu Xingchen's fists itchy and he really wanted to beat him up.
Jiang Zhizhi checked these parts and found that the mainspring had insufficient energy, which affected the normal running of the watch. There was also a small part inside that was malfunctioning, which affected the stability of the watch's running.
Jiang Zhizhi put down the small screwdriver in his hand and took out a small part from the toolbox to replace the broken part of the watch.
Afterwards, Jiang Zhizhi calmly assembled all the parts. She had a good memory, so these were not difficult tasks for her. Instead, they were extremely simple.
Baozi, Doudou and Yaya ran over and stood on tiptoe to look. Heiwa chuckled and asked if they wanted to play.
The kids shook their heads and said, "Aunt Zhizhi is busy repairing watches and has no time to play with us."
Jiang Zhizhi assembled the watch quickly, put down the tools in his hand, and handed the watch to Zhang Xiaoshu, whose head was buzzing.
Zhang Xiaoshu stared blankly at the watch in Jiang Zhizhi's hand. It was only until Aunt Wang pushed her because she was anxious that she reacted.
Everyone looked over and asked in confusion, "Why is the pointer still stopped?"
"Is this fixed?"
“Is it still bad?”
"After all this time, it's all in vain."
Jiang Zhizhi reached out and pulled the adjustment button next to the watch crown, pulled out the crown, and then compared it with the watch on his own wrist, adjusted Zhang Xiaoshu's watch to the correct time position, and then gently pushed the small button back to its original position.
“Tick-tock….”
The watch started ticking again. Zhang Xiaoshu cried with joy. Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely excited: "That's great, that's great, Sister Zhi, we are lucky to have you to help our family."
The others' feet were nailed in place, looking at Jiang Zhizhi in disbelief. How could the watch be repaired so quickly?
This means that Jiang Zhizhi is talented in this area!
Political Commissar Chen Yueming's wife Yan Zi was bewildered, her mind echoing with Jiang Zhizhi's words - it's okay.
I know that sister is too modest!
Is this okay for her?
Nong Chunhua stared at Jiang Zhizhi, her heart blossoming. She said that Zhizhi would definitely be able to do it, and now these people believed her.
"Hahaha, sister, take it easy. Those new military wives couldn't help but ask you about your situation."
"We know that this time the girl's action was a bit too big, and it scared people."
Because new family compounds have been built with tube-shaped buildings, a new group of military wives are willing to come here to follow the troops.
The whole courtyard was filled with exclamations.
When others praised his wife, Lu Xingchen felt extremely happy in his heart.
The sunlight shone through the leaves and fell on Jiang Zhizhi, who was indescribably beautiful. Lu Xingchen could only see her.
Jiang Zhizhi raised her face with a hint of joy. She was too lazy to care about her man. As long as he was happy, it was fine.
