Since his father and brother had both raised their opinions, Du Bin had nothing to say, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Yi heard the conversation and looked at Du Chen eagerly, his eyes full of hope. Du Chen had no choice but to make a proposal to Comrade Lao Du.
"Dad, since we're making a slingshot, why don't we make one for Liu Yi as well?"
Comrade Lao Du did not object, but he wanted to give the slingshot to Liu Yi's father or mother. After all, the slingshot toy was a bit too dangerous and it would hurt others and yourself.
Liu Yi didn't object when he heard it, as long as he had it.
After a pleasant negotiation, Liu Yi continued to wind the enameled wire while Du Bin went to twist the slingshot frame.
Du Chen continued to wander around the workshop with nothing to do. There weren't many cars in the workshop, mostly double-row engineering vehicles. The only sedan he saw was a Santana owned by the section chief.
"Dad, what do you guys usually repair in this repair shop? Engines and chassis? And are they all these construction vehicles?"
Du Chen asked Comrade Lao Du curiously. After all, he was thinking about contracting the repair shop for his own family, so he needed to know his future main business direction.
"Well, I'm mostly good at fixing engines and chassis, but I can't even fix circuits. There are very few sedans, and most of them belong to the leaders of the company. I can fix a broken suspension or engine, but I can't fix circuits at all."
Comrade Lao Du answered truthfully.
"What if there's a problem with the circuit?"
"If it can be opened in the city, then we can find an electrician to fix it. If it can't be opened, we can either tow it away or hire an electrician to come over."
"Dad, do electricians make money?" Du Chen became even more curious. He studied automotive electronics in college, and later on, he couldn't do without circuits when repairing and modifying cars.
"It's very profitable. The starting fee is 200 to 300 yuan. My monthly salary is only over 500 yuan now. Do you think it's profitable?"
Comrade Lao Du said enviously that he joined the army after graduating from junior high school and was half illiterate, so he knew nothing about circuits.
"Dad, the circuit is simple, I can do it!"
Du Chen said excitedly to Comrade Lao Du.
"You can do it? Where did you learn it?" Comrade Lao Du was a little skeptical.
"Your reference books, don't you have a lot of automotive reference books at home? They teach you circuits, and they even cover the latest electronic fuel injection vehicles. You haven't seen an electronic fuel injection vehicle, have you?"
"Oh, is there? I'll take a look later. I've never seen an EFI car, they're all carburetors now."
Comrade Lao Du laughed and was not very willing to study. After all, wouldn’t it be nice to watch TV or read martial arts novels in that little time?
"Dad, circuits are very simple. I'll go back and teach you. Just imagine how much money you can make if you learn it! When we have money, we can buy whatever we want! And then we can buy a car!"
Du Chen began to seduce Comrade Lao Du. He knew that his father had been driving and repairing cars all his life, but his only regret was that he didn't have a car and had never been willing to buy a motorcycle.
By the time Du Chen and his brother Du Bin both had cars, Old Du was old and his eyesight was blurry, so he hadn't driven much. But he clearly remembered Old Du driving his brother Du Bin's car, praising the current cars for being so good, quiet, powerful, and having a light steering...
So Du Chen asked his father to learn about automotive circuits first. In his opinion, automotive circuits were not difficult, but at that time there were very few people who could repair them.
When he was doing car modification, he often heard his predecessors say that most of the first batch of car repairers became rich. He couldn't say how much money they made, but at least they were financially free. They met a few smart people who changed their careers and continued to do other things and made a lot of money.
"Is it really not difficult?" Comrade Lao Du was a little tempted, but still worried.
"It's not difficult, Dad. Look, I've only been reading for a few days. I had nothing better to do, so I just flipped through some reference books. I just found out what's wrong with Santana!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you. I'll go read when I get home!"
Comrade Lao Du gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Well, Dad, if you don't understand, let's discuss it together. If there's any problem with this Santana, just fix it. Don't rush to find an electrician. I'm here for you. I have a complete guide to Santana at home. If you understand it, there will be no problem!"
Du Chen encouraged his father. Just kidding, if he couldn't fix a Santana, all those years Du Chen had spent would have been wasted.
The father and son were chatting animatedly here, while Du Bin and Liu Yi were working hard over there.
Du Chen walked over and took a look. Liu Yi had almost finished wrapping the second frame, and Du Bin's first slingshot frame was almost done.
Seeing that the work was almost done, Du Chen stopped wandering around, after all, he had to use a soldering iron to close the edges.
Du Chen dared to say that no one present here could use a soldering iron as well as he did. Although it was a tool from the repair shop, Comrade Du had definitely never used it before, because he had just been searching for the soldering iron for a while.
"Here, Du Chen, this is also wrapped."
Du Chen was in a daze when Liu Yi handed another wrapped frame to Du Chen.
Du Chen quickly used a soldering iron to close the opening, and then assembled the link and the frame together.
The sound of "click" means that the chain gun is also ready.
Seeing that the two chain guns were ready, Du Bin and Liu Yi became even more motivated.
Du Bin had already made a slingshot stand. Seeing that he was fine, Du Chen finally picked up the enameled wire and started to help.
If Du Chen doesn't help, it will take until after twelve o'clock to finish all these things. Du Chen also wants to finish early and go back to the store to eat. He didn't eat in the morning and is a little hungry now.
With Du Chen's help, the efficiency increased and they finally made three chain guns and three slingshots before twelve o'clock.
Comrade Lao Du checked the water and electricity again, then locked the door of the repair shop and walked into the store. On the way back, Du Bin excitedly shot stones with a slingshot.
At first, Du Bin wanted to shoot birds, but Du Chen thought it was a bit bloody and cruel, so he didn't let Du Bin go.
"Brother, this slingshot is very useful and powerful. It is much better than the one I had before."
Du Bin said to Du Chen happily.
"The one you used before was made of a hair tie, which was too weak. This one uses a valve core rubber tube, which is very elastic and of course it works well."
"Brother, I just told you not to play with this normally. It's too dangerous. Look at how your slingshot can even knock off a piece of the bark!"
Du Chen pointed at a poplar tree by the roadside. A large piece of bark had fallen off the tree when Du Bin hit it with a slingshot.
"Yeah, I get it. I'm just standing there to have some fun. I don't have the time normally."
Du Bin naturally knew that his father and brother were doing this for his own good, so he was very obedient.
Liu Yi was also playing with his chain gun along the way, and he had used up half of a box of matches.
"Liu Yi, aren't your ears ringing?"
Du Chen listened to the "pa! pa" sound all the way, it was really too loud.
"Hey, you're not happy. I used to play with other people, but after playing with them once or twice, they won't let me play with them anymore."
"I have one myself, and it's much better looking than what they made. I can't help but want to play with it."
Liu Yi explained to Du Chen.
"You're giving me a headache from all this banging. Stop it now. You can do whatever you want when you get home!"
Du Chen said to Liu Yi helplessly.
"All right."
