Zhou Ziwen took the selected parts and materials and walked to the buyer.
He carefully placed these treasures on the ground, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to the buyer.
"Comrade, these are what I need. How much do you think they will cost?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
The buyer looked at the parts and materials on the ground, calculated the price, and said, "I'll give you five dollars for these parts and materials."
Zhou Ziwen nodded. Although the price was a bit expensive, it was within his expectations.
Anyway, the production team will reimburse him for this money, including the tools he bought.
He paid the money readily, and Zhou Ziwen put the parts and materials into the bag he brought.
"Comrade, thank you so much. These parts are very important to me." Zhou Ziwen said gratefully.
The buyer waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm only accommodating because you need these things urgently. Come back when you need them."
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. Goodbye, comrade."
Zhou Ziwen said goodbye to the buyer, tied the bag full of parts to the back seat of the bicycle, then rode the bicycle and left the scrap collection station happily.
On the way home, Zhou Ziwen felt particularly happy.
He was humming a little tune while riding his bicycle.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on his body, making him feel warm.
Today's harvest was unexpectedly good. Although these parts and materials needed some modification, at least they could allow him to start repairing the machines at home.
Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle back to the pig farm briskly, carrying the treasures he had found from the scrap collection station.
After arriving at the pig farm, Zhou Ziwen carefully untied the bag on the back seat of the bicycle and walked into the warehouse.
He placed the bag on a clean workbench and began to remove the parts and materials inside one by one.
After taking out all the parts, Zhou Ziwen began to clean them up.
He first used a brush to sweep away the dust and dirt on the surface of the parts, and then wiped them carefully with gasoline and cotton cloth until each part revealed its original metallic luster.
During this process, his expression was focused and serious, and he did not miss any details.
After cleaning the parts, Zhou Ziwen took out some tools he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative and began to make necessary modifications to the parts.
Using his understanding of mechanics, he grinds, cuts, and adjusts parts until they fit the machine he needs to repair.
As time went by, Zhou Ziwen became completely immersed in the repair work.
Before I knew it, it was time to get off work.
"Ziwen, it's time to get off work, why are you still busy?" Li Lei walked in from outside.
Zhou Ziwen looked up and saw that it was getting dark outside.
"It's so late? I almost overworked." Zhou Ziwen put down the tools in his hand and stretched vigorously.
Li Lei came over with a smile and said, "You're really putting all your energy into this machine. How was your harvest today?"
Zhou Ziwen pointed to the parts on the workbench that had been cleaned and modified, and said, "Not bad. These parts I found at the scrap collection station have been cleaned and modified, and some of them are already showing results."
Li Lei looked at the parts carefully. Although he didn't know much about mechanical maintenance, he could feel Zhou Ziwen's dedication and professionalism.
"That's great. I hope you can fix these machines soon."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and began to pack up the tools and parts, saying, "Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."
Li Lei helped to clean up, and the two of them quickly tidied up the warehouse.
Zhou Ziwen carefully placed the parts in a special box, ready to continue processing tomorrow.
They walked out of the warehouse. The air outside was a little cold, but Zhou Ziwen was in a good mood.
When they got home, the house was lit with warm lights. Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi heard the door open and came out to greet them. Chen Shiying said, "Ziwen, you're back. How was your day?"
Zhou Ziwen walked into the house with a smile and said, "We've gained a lot today. We found a lot of useful parts and even modified some of them."
Chen Qiaoyi came over holding little Yueyue and said, "Brother Ziwen, you've worked hard."
Zhou Ziwen took Xiao Yueyue, kissed her little face, and said, "It's not hard. As long as we can fix the machine, that's all."
The family sat around the dining table and started eating dinner.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen held little Yueyue and played in the yard for a while.
When Yueyue was tired from playing, Zhou Ziwen carried her back to the house, laid her on the kang, and covered her with a blanket. He then washed up and lay down on the kang, waiting for his evening exercise.
…
In the next few weeks, Zhou Ziwen was busy.
During the day, he either repairs machines at the pig farm or goes to the major scrap collection stations in the county to shop on Taobao.
After a period of time, he really found a lot of things.
For example, the thresher and seed drill, after he pieced them together and shopped on Taobao, he finally got all the parts that were completely broken.
After Zhou Ziwen's repair, the two machines have been repaired.
Although it is pieced together, the quality of machines of this era is very good and it is no different from a new one in use.
There are also crushers and tractors. Maintaining these two machines is a huge challenge for Zhou Ziwen.
So far, he has only repaired part of it. With his current skill level, he is still a long way from being able to completely repair it.
In just one month, his skills have changed greatly.
One AFK slot was also opened, and now he has twenty-one AFK slots.

Among these skills, the most meaningful to Zhou Ziwen are inner alchemy and meditation.
After these two skills reached level three, Zhou Ziwen clearly felt that his mental and physical qualities had been further improved.
The third level of inner alchemy made his internal strength deeper and his breath longer.
His endurance is also better, and he can work longer when doing physical labor.
Especially in the evening when I exercise with the two sisters and Shen Zhaodi, the exercise time is longer.
He also gained more precise control over his inner strength, and could apply it to subtle movements. For example, when repairing a machine, he could use it to hold the tool more steadily, making the operation more precise. (End of this chapter)
