"What? You little brat, you're thinking of fixing this precious thing?" If Erdan had gone up the mountain and brought back a wild boar, he wouldn't have been this surprised.
Is repairing this thing something an ordinary person can do? Even the people in the village who went to junior high school wouldn't dare to say that. How did this little girl, Erdan, just open her mouth like that?
Qian Xiao immediately became indignant. What did that mean? Who did she look down on? She didn't know how, so what? She hadn't had much hope of fixing the radio, but after listening to her great-uncle's words, she was determined to fix it. How could he look down on her like that?
"Grandpa, how can you look down on people? People say that heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times, so why can't I? I can go hunting in the mountains, so I can definitely fix this thing too."
Qian Baozhu was furious when he saw his usually carefree granddaughter getting angry. Had he blurted out something wrong? Even if he looked down on children, he shouldn't have said it so openly. Had he hurt the child's feelings?
"Well, Grandpa was just thinking that this thing is too complicated, so I can't give you too much hope, otherwise you'll be so disappointed!"
Your words of comfort are less helpful than saying nothing at all: "I'm sure I can fix this." She simply doesn't believe that she, a 21st-century college student, can't fix such a primitive appliance.
Qian Xiao had no idea that her thinking and personality were becoming more and more like a child's, and she had lost all the reserve she had when she first regained her memories, as if she had never lived those twenty-odd years.
It's easy to understand, since all she has is a memory. She is now a genuine eight-year-old child, born in the 1940s and raised in the 1950s.
Qian Baozhu admired the child's never-give-up spirit: "Alright, alright, you can fix it. If you can fix it, your great-uncle will buy it and put it in our village so everyone can listen to it."
Qian Xiao's eyes darted around. That was a good idea. If they kept it at home, not only would the batteries be difficult to obtain, but how many people would come to their house every day to see this strange thing? It would be too noisy!
"Could you give me some food coupons and meat coupons?"
Qian Baozhu... This guy acts like you can actually fix it, but he doesn't pour cold water on it.
"Okay, if you can fix it, I'll give you not only grain coupons and meat coupons, but also a cloth coupon, how about that?" Of course, that is, provided that you can actually fix it.
Qian Xiao's eyes lit up. Cloth coupons were the most scarce coupons in the countryside. "Then it's settled. Grandpa, you can't go back on your word later."
Qian Baozhu tapped Qian Xiao's head with his finger: "You brat, your great-uncle's words are always full of hidden meanings. You just need to try your best to fix them."
Qian Xiao patted his still somewhat thin chest loudly: "Just you wait and see, there's nothing I, Qian Xiao, can't do if I set my mind to it."
Qian Erbao and Qian Sanbao's lips twitched. Their Erdan was getting more and more boastful. He only knew a few words, yet he dared to make such a guarantee.
Qian Baozhu was amused and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, okay, your great-uncle is just waiting to give you the invoice."
The coachman shook his head with amusement. This Qian Dabao's daughter was quite a character, just like Qian Dabao when he was a child.
Provoked by Qian Baozhu, Qian Xiao blurted out those bold words. When she got home, she regretted it. If this thing were that simple, the radio wouldn't have been sold. Is it too late for her to regret it now?
Qian Xiao was also a person who refused to admit defeat, and she really planned to learn this knowledge from the little system. If she couldn't be a scientist, being a repairman in this day and age would be pretty awesome, right?
Of course, she also got her share of nagging. She was incredibly bold to buy such a big thing. Of course, it was only her mother who nagged a bit, while her grandparents thought it was good for their granddaughter. Having ideals would motivate her to work hard, which was much better than not wanting to go to school at all. The family wasn't short of money.
Having already boasted, Qian Xiao wouldn't allow himself to be laughed at. He became more serious than ever before in his life, almost to the point of studying relentlessly, spending all his time reading books.
The book she's reading now is the one she brought back from the junkyard; it's about the most basic knowledge of electricity. This knowledge is definitely not enough, but her family doesn't know that, and Shuangdan will supplement it for her if needed.
At this point, Qian Xiao would no longer call the little system useless. Look at it, it can get whatever she wants, just like Doraemon. Every time she sees the little system, she has an urge to find the location of the little system's magic pocket.
Shuangdan felt more proud than ever before. It turns out that being a teacher feels so good. Should she try to seduce her host and learn more from her?
If Qian Xiao had known that Shuangdan was such a know-it-all, she would never have been fooled by it this time.
"Host, I have to go out to work. I'll answer your questions when I get back. You can write down the ones you don't understand first." Shuangdan repeatedly reminded him, still very worried.
"Ah! It'll take a long time?" Judging from your tone, I'd think you were my father.
"I don't know yet. Let's go and take a look first. But if you have any urgent matters, just call me and I'll be back soon." Anyway, we share the same space, so it will be back quickly if it comes back.
"Okay, be careful. We're not short of money right now. If you don't like it, you don't have to go out to work anymore."
Although the little system goes out to work and can bring her back some modern things and a lot of food that money can't buy now, she doesn't really need the little system to support her. She treats the little system as a secret partner, the only little friend she can confide in.
"I really enjoy going out to work, and I can see what other places are like," it said. It also wanted to take good care of its host, whose family was too poor.
"Alright, go ahead then. Be careful, and if you see any danger, run away immediately. Only a fool would face the enemy head-on, understand?"
"Okay, I'm off then."
"Go ahead, go ahead," this system is acting like a restless child who can't stay at home. But if she had the chance to go out and explore, she would definitely agree without hesitation.
She lowered her head and continued to work on her textbook. To be honest, she really wasn't cut out for scientific research. She'd be much more satisfied with going to the mountains and getting a wild boar than with this.
She counted on her fingers. It was 1956. Higher education institutions should have stopped enrolling students in 1966. There were still ten years left. She was eight years old now, and she would be eighteen in ten years. Should she skip a grade and get a university diploma?
