Chapter 453 Brother, can you repair the radio?
Pengfei's notice has not arrived yet, but he is not in a hurry and runs around with Dongzhe every day.
That afternoon, when he returned home, he brought Dongzhe back with him, and the two of them blocked Hongbin in the house.
Hongbin reported to the unit and the unit gave the new employee a week to prepare for his daily life. He packed up his single dormitory and went home. He planned to rest at home for a few days and then take Zhu Xiu Yu to see his unit and dormitory.
Pengfei sat down next to Hongbin, took the book from his hand and asked:
"Brother, can you fix the radio?"
"That's what I studied! Whether I can repair it well or not depends on how bad it is, but even if I can't, I can definitely find the problem." Hongbin was confident.
Pengfei and Dongzhe high-fived each other.
Seeing that they were sweating, Hongbin went to the kitchen and served each of them a bowl of mung bean soup.
He had nothing to do during the day, so he made it at home, thinking that his elders could drink it when they got home from get off work.
Seeing how hot they were, he asked with concern:
"It's so hot, just stay home and be careful of heatstroke."
The two drank mung bean soup, and Dongzhe whispered mysteriously:
"Brother, the radio is relying on you. Don't worry, we will pay for its repair."
When Hong Bin heard this, his face turned serious:
"What are you talking about! You already call me brother, how can I ask you for repair money? Who do you think I am? Bring the things over!"
He was very happy to see the two of them. He drank up the mung bean soup and was about to leave.
"Where are you going again?"
"Brother, don't go out! Wait for us, let's go get the radio." Pengfei shouted.
Hong Bin looked at the two people running and smiled helplessly:
"What good brothers! It takes two people to carry a radio. What a big radio! It's too big to lift!"
He washed the two empty bowls and then returned to his desk to read.
His favorite thing about this house is that it is cool in the summer and he doesn't feel hot at all with the fan on at home.
After a while, he heard the sound of a bicycle. Thinking that his two younger brothers had returned, he got up to see. He saw that they were pushing a tricycle into the yard.
"Brother! We're back!"
"Yes, help Suihualou move things."
Hongbin saw the words "Suihualou" spray-painted on the tricycle. He walked over and the two of them smiled and opened the lid of the cardboard box in the truck bed.
The cardboard box was full of radios.
Hong Bin looked at the two of them in astonishment: "This...this...is the radio you want me to repair!"
The two younger brothers, their faces covered in sweat, showed him their eight neat white teeth at the same time, and nodded in unison.
"You guys!" Hong Bin was speechless for a moment.
Their radio was not what he thought it was.
"Where, where did it come from! Tell me quickly." Hongbin was very worried and asked again.
These two troublesome guys didn't cause any trouble during their senior year of high school. I thought they had grown up, but it turned out they just knew their priorities!
"If you do something bad, you'll see... I won't take care of you!" Hong Bin became more and more scared the more he thought about it.
Pengfei and Dongzhe hurriedly shook their heads and told Hongbin the situation.
It turned out that Pengfei had nothing to do, so he repaired the old tricycle that was discarded by Suihua Building, and then carried Dongzhe on it, and the two of them collected waste to make money.
That day, the two of them were holding up a loud speaker and shouting "Collecting waste" along the street in the dormitory area of the tire factory, and they were seen by Chu Wanghai.
Chu Wanghai was leaning against the wall smoking while watching the two people doing business, which seemed quite serious.
He waited until they finished this order before he walked over.
"Brother Hai!" the two shouted.
"Why suffer this? I'll buy you whatever you want, but no cigarettes. Your Aunt Huang will beat me if she finds out." Chu Wanghai said with a smile.
"We're not buying anything. We're just trying to earn some money for college," the two told him.
Chu Wanghai narrowed his eyes, threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, then smiled wickedly and walked forward, stretching out his arms and placing them on the shoulders of the two men, one on each side.
"You guys, you still want to trick me? When I was lying, you were still wearing open-crotch pants! Tell me, or I'll tell Aunt Huang!"
He grabbed the two of them hard, and their three heads bumped together, and everyone screamed.
The three of them sat on the side of the road. Chu Wanghai treated them to soda. The two told Chu Wanghai that they wanted to buy gifts for their parents. They had saved money from junior high school to high school, but the rising prices still couldn't keep up, so the money was not enough.
"You're killing me, is that a price issue? Don't you see how many people there are in your big family? Two bottles of soda per person costs a lot of money." Chu Wanghai saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.
yes!
There are seven people, three pairs of parents and an aunt, and two bottles of soda each cost seven dollars.
"Originally, if it were someone else, it would be easy to deal with. I could just invite him to have a meal together. But this big family also has a restaurant. Oh! It's really difficult to deal with." Chu Wanghai sighed.
The two children also sighed, thinking that this was really difficult to deal with.
"I have an idea..." Chu Wanghai said again.
The two looked at him, and Lin Dongzhe shook his head: "Forget it, Brother Hai, you sold us out, and we still smiled and helped you count the money."
Pengfei was not afraid and asked, "Brother Hai, tell me about it."
Chu Wanghai told the two that collecting scrap was profitable but it was slow and tiring. He had a batch of unsold radios in stock, which were either broken or had scratches on the outside. It was very expensive to find someone to repair the broken ones, but it was a pity to sell them as scrap. In addition, he had found better business with Huang Ling, so he just left those radios unattended.
He could give these goods to the two people without charging them money first, and then see how many they sold, and then charge them the price of scrap.
Pengfei and Dongzhe looked at each other and started to think. Not to mention the broken ones, the ones with damaged surfaces could be sold at a low price. They would definitely make more money than selling scrap. This business was a good deal.
So, we have this scene today.
After they confirmed that Hongbin could repair the radio, they asked for the broken one as well.
Hongbin's head was tingling.
It was indeed too careless.
He agreed to repair radios, but he didn't expect to repair dozens of radios.
Seeing his two younger brothers looking at him eagerly with excitement, he gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves to get to work!
Dongzhe went back first and made an appointment with Pengfei to sell the radios with poor appearance tomorrow to give Hongbin time to repair them.
In the evening, when Zhuang Hualin and his wife came back, they saw their two children fiddling with the radio in the house. There were several radios on the table, so they asked curiously what was going on.
"Well, aunt, I took some work, helping people repair radios." Hongbin, who never said nonsense, was a little tongue-tied.
"Oh, so how about making money? If you can't make money, then don't do it. It's a waste of your eyesight. You'll have to go to work soon, and it will probably be hard work! You should have a good rest for a few days." Zhuang Hualin said with concern.
"Aunt, I'm here to make money. I'm also practicing my skills. It will be useful when I go to work in the future." Hongbin became more natural as he continued talking.
Zhuang Hualin nodded. "Right, right, that's right. Then you can let Pengfei help you. He has nothing to do anyway."
"Mom, don't worry! I'm helping!" Pengfei responded quickly.
"Turn on the lights a little brighter. Don't be afraid of wasting electricity. It's bad for your eyes if it's too dark." Zhuang Hualin gave the instructions before going to cook.
The two brothers tinkered in the house until midnight.
The next day, Hongbin continued repairing with dark circles under his eyes, while Pengfei and Dongzhe went to sell radios with dark circles under their eyes.
