Jiang Yue had just put down her work and was about to stretch when she was startled by a group of people gathered at the door. Before she could even catch her breath, she was bombarded with questions from everyone.
"Accountant Jiang, is the radio fixed?"
"Wow, that was fixed so quickly!"
"Could we listen to this?"
"...."
Jiang Yue waved her hand and hurriedly said, "No, we're missing a part. We'll see how it goes after we replace it. We'll buy the part tomorrow and try it out."
"Why wait until tomorrow? Xiao Jiang, tell me what you need, and I'll go buy it for you right away."
"Yes, I can go too."
Jiang Yue had originally planned to buy it tomorrow, but everyone was so enthusiastic that she could only choose one person to buy a part. He even borrowed her bicycle. Jiang Yue saw that the bicycle was almost smoking from being pedaled, and she didn't even have time to tell him to slow down.
An hour later, she successfully bought the parts and carefully took them out of her pocket to hand to Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue replaced the parts and checked them again. Although she had this skill, she had never used it before, but based on her experience, she couldn't find any other problems. If all else failed, there was always Bai Ze as a backup.
After installing the accessories and waiting a while, it was turned on. Soon after, the sound of the radio came through. Before Jiang Yue could say anything, she heard cheers from the onlookers.
After listening for a while, it was time to leave work. Jiang Yue packed up her things and prepared to go home. Several colleagues looked at Jiang Yue's radio with reluctance. Suddenly, someone asked Jiang Yue, "Accountant Jiang, I also want to buy one. Could you help me fix it? I'll pay for it."
"Sure, I got a bargain here. The problem is obvious, but this is my first time repairing a radio, and my skills are really not good. If you really buy it, I can help you without charging you, but be prepared to lose everything. It might be that I could fix it, but I might make it even worse. Don't blame me if that happens."
Jiang Yue can help, but only with her own abilities. It would be strange if she could fix every single one. Let's make it clear beforehand so that you don't blame her if you can't fix it.
Jiang Yue's frankness was understandable to the others. They packed their things, locked the accounting office door, hung the radio around their necks, rode their bicycles home, and, you know what, the radio did get quite a few stares.
When Jiang Ze, who was playing at the gate of the courtyard, saw Jiang Yue, he abandoned his friends and ran towards her. Jiang Yue stopped and let him get on the bike, then pushed him home. With the little kid in the way, no one could see the radio hanging around her neck.
After entering the house, I saw that my older brother and sister-in-law were helping Aunt Jiang cook. It has to be said that Aunt Jiang was very observant and immediately noticed the radio hanging around Jiang Yue's neck.
"What are you wearing around your neck?"
"radio."
"What! ×3"
"It's a radio." Jiang Yue took it down and put it on the table, speaking casually.
The moment it was put down, the three of them crowded around. They had only heard of this thing a few times at other people's houses and had never been close to it before. Jiang Ma slapped her eldest brother's restless hand and picked it up to take a look.
"How do I use this?"
"Mom, let me do it, I know how to use it."
Jiang Yue ignored them and went to wash her face with a basin of water. The wind had blown dust all over her face. When she finished cleaning up and returned to the house, her mother and the other two were already listening to the program.
While Jiang Yue was drinking water, her mother suddenly remembered something: "Where did you get the money and the tickets?"
"I bought the broken one and fixed it myself. It cost me a total of sixteen yuan."
"Hey, Xiaoyue, can you buy one for your older brother?"
"Get out of my way, where am I supposed to buy it for you? That's not easy, is it?"
"Yeah, I asked when I first started working. It takes more than two or three months to get one fully functional broken one. And that's only if you're lucky. Otherwise, why would anyone buy a new one?"
"Hey! Right, by the way, can I borrow it for a few days to play?"
"Sure, it's for home use anyway."
"You go away, your dad and I will listen for a few days first, you go ahead and get in line."
"Mom! Let's cook first, Dad will be back soon."
"Oh dear, I forgot! Quick, your sister-in-law and I have already chopped it up, just waiting for you to stir-fry it."
"Mom, should I cook today?"
"No need, you rest. Let Xiaoyue cook; she's a good cook, so don't argue."
After dinner was ready, Mr. Jiang returned home. He seemed quite calm when he saw the radio. After dinner and cleaning up, Ms. Jiang started a family meeting. Attendees included: Jiang Yue, Jiang Jianguo & Yang Xiaomei, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Ze.
Meeting content: After Comrade Jiang Jianguo gets married, the Jiang family should follow the example of the Zhao family. Jiang Jianguo and his wife will each contribute 15 yuan per month for living expenses, and keep the rest of their wages. Although Comrade Jiang Yue is not married, she is financially independent and will contribute 10 yuan per month for living expenses. Since Comrade Jiang Ze is only four years old, he does not need to contribute any living expenses and will be raised by Comrade Jiang Dazhu (Jiang's father).
Meeting Outcome: Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Jianguo agreed, and asked if 15 yuan was enough. Mrs. Jiang said that if it wasn't enough, they could discuss it and adjust it as needed. Comrade Jiang Yue agreed, and Comrade Jiang Ze raised both hands in agreement. The meeting was a complete success.
The meeting added: Since the radio purchased by Comrade Jiang Yue is for the use of all members, after discussion, Comrades Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Dazhu each contributed five yuan, which was given to Comrade Jiang Yue.
After the meeting, the radio provided a welcome change from the boredom of being idle. Seeing that little Jiang Ze was sleepy, Jiang Yue took him back to bed. During the house renovation, Jiang Yue's room also underwent changes; a bed was added, and little Jiang Ze finally had his own bed.
The next morning, when Jiang's mother got up, she had already prepared breakfast. Although Jiang's mother didn't work, she was very busy all day long and didn't have a break from morning to night. Jiang Yue had wanted to get up and help, but Jiang's mother said that she didn't need to and that she should rest well. She said that she would have time to catch up on sleep after they left.
After breakfast, the whole family went to work. When Jiang Yue arrived at the station, many people greeted her warmly, which seemed to indicate that the news about repairing the radio yesterday had spread.
After lighting the stove and boiling water, she started handing out money to everyone. After finishing the work, she had some free time. Although the salary here was fixed, unlike salespeople who had bonuses, it was easy and relaxing. This job was perfect for Jiang Yue.
Around noon, I took my lunchbox to eat, and as usual, I only ordered a small portion of the same three dishes. After returning home, I had an extra meal. After eating, I took a short nap, and when I woke up, I made a cup of tea. Before leaving get off work in the evening, I went fishing and caught a few fish. Today, no one wanted to trade with me, so it seems I can only take them home and eat them myself.
After arriving home, I handed the fish over to Aunt Jiang to prepare. Since there was sauerkraut stewing in the pot, I decided to steam the fish. People who were going to work would be back soon, so this way we could eat it without delay.
