"Don't worry, I'll ask you when I go out to work. But your current ability level is still very low, so don't try to control other people's minds too easily. You might end up making yourself an idiot."
"Oh my god, is it that serious? Okay, I'll start practicing after you've found out the details."
"Hehehe, Double Egg, I'm still very lucky. I didn't expect to actually be able to activate my superpower, and it's an incredibly awesome mental superpower." It's written in the novel that mental superpowers are the best way to take down opponents without them even noticing.
"Yes, yes, my host is amazing."
"Hehehe, you flatter me, you flatter me. If it weren't for our Double Eggs being so amazing, bringing me back such a powerful potion, I wouldn't have been able to activate my superpower even if I used all my strength!"
Shuangdan felt especially happy to be praised by its host: "It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure."
Oh, so you know how to be humble!
Sun Kaicheng, who saw this scene in the space, burst out laughing. This little system and its host are really a pair of clowns. Last time, it opened a window to the outside world and forgot to close it. Today, it made him watch this show.
"Erdan, are you awake yet?"
"Oh, Grandma, I'm awake."
"You're awake? Come out and eat something, aren't you hungry?"
"Coming, coming, coming!" Qian Xiao didn't want to stay in bed any longer and quickly got up to get dressed.
"Grandma, why are you home alone? Where is everyone else?"
The old woman glanced at the sky: "It looks like it's going to snow soon. Everyone's gone up the mountain to gather firewood, and maybe they can pick up some mountain produce while they're at it."
Our eldest granddaughter was away for several days this time, and no one in the family was in the mood to work. Who would have thought that things would suddenly change like this?
"Grandma, why do I feel like it snowed earlier this year?"
"That's for sure, the snow this year is going to be heavy. Come on, let's eat, it's all keeping warm in the pot."
Qian Xiao quickly washed up and ate. After putting down her bowl and chopsticks, she took her wood-chopping knife and went up the mountain. She was strong and could bring back more firewood at once. In the countryside nowadays, if you don't have plenty of firewood, winter will be hard to get through.
The old man was very accurate in predicting the weather. Snowflakes began to fall in the evening. The first snowfall wasn't heavy, but the temperature dropped quite quickly. Qian Xiao quickly found her little cotton-padded jacket and put it on.
"Oh my god! Erdan, why are your sleeves so short?"
Qian Xiao looked at his exposed wrist: "I only saw it today when I put it on. I'll just put another piece back on when I come back from gathering firewood today."
"What are you waiting for? Take it off now, it'll be done in a minute," Auntie quickly found the sewing basket.
Qian Xiao didn't stand on ceremony. Although she had also learned to sew, her skills were really only good enough to sew up small holes.
The first snow fell for three days in a row. Qian Xiao sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) in her room, fiddling with the radio in her hand. The six boys surrounded their eldest sister, watching her fiddling with this big, unfamiliar device.
"Big sister, does this really produce sound?"
"Yes, if the eldest sister can fix it, she can broadcast it."
"When will you be able to fix it, big sister?" Big sister has had this thing for several months, and they won't even let their own grandmother touch it. They also want to see where the sound is coming from.
"Almost there, almost there, stop messing around and go read your comic books," Qian Xiao was already in a bind, and these six kids were still causing trouble.
"Okay, then let's not talk and just see if it works." Children love to see new things.
"Okay, but don't talk and bother me."
After buying the discarded radio, Qian Xiao seized the time to learn the basics. She knew absolutely nothing about repairing it. Shuang Dan made it sound simple, but the problem was that she was completely clueless about it.
"Double Egg, do you think I did it right? I feel like these hand-polished parts are a little too big. It just doesn't seem right no matter how I assemble them."
"Let me see, it's a bit too big. You can continue to polish it."
Qian Xiao could only pry out the copper piece and continue to carefully polish it with the small tools that Shuang Dan had brought. If the thing was too big, she could polish it smaller, but if it was too small, she couldn't make it bigger. With limited materials, she couldn't afford to make any mistakes!
After three days of hard work, the part was finally found to be acceptable, the cracked casing was repaired, and the entire radio was finally assembled.
"Double Egg, can you check if it's fixed? Will it work after installing the batteries?"
"Okay, it will definitely work. You can try it with a battery."
Do you have any batteries at home? I don't think I see any flashlights at home.
"Grandma, Grandma, do we have any batteries?"
"What the heck?"
"Battery, the one that's in a flashlight."
"It seems there really is one. Wait here, I'll find it for you and see if it works. This is a flashlight your dad brought back last year. We haven't been able to use it yet, but we don't know if the battery will run out of power."
She heard those batteries were really expensive, and you even needed an industrial permit. So she just put them away. It's not like she couldn't go to the toilet in the dark, why waste that stuff?
Qian Xiao looked at her grandmother and found the oldest flashlight at the bottom of the box: "Here, see if it still works. Your dad said it's a new battery, and we haven't used it, so it should still be new, right?"
Qian Xiao had given up all hope. How could this thing still have electricity after being left for over a year? He might as well just take it out and use it.
Finding the switch and turning it on, this flashlight wasn't as bright as the flashlights of later generations. The dim yellow bulb, combined with the fact that it was daytime, made it almost invisible. "Grandma, it seems to actually have power. I'll go try it out."
Surprisingly, this battery actually has power. I wonder if it will still work when I put it in the radio.
"You should use it sparingly. I heard that stuff is hard to buy and expensive."
"Okay, Grandma. I'll try to see if my radio is fixed. I'll definitely give it a try and return it to you."
Qian Xiao took the two batteries out of the flashlight and put them behind the radio. She took a deep breath before turning on the radio. A hissing sound came out, and she quickly tuned the radio to see if she could receive a broadcast.
"Hello everyone, this is China Central Television..." A clear and resonant voice came from the radio.
The six little ones stared wide-eyed at the big thing, and the old lady who came over also opened her mouth wide. My goodness, is her eldest granddaughter so amazing? She actually fixed this radio.
Good heavens, her eldest granddaughter is what everyone calls a child prodigy! Good heavens, the Qian family's ancestral graves are truly blessed.
