"Du Chen, shall we go play glass balls?"
During the ten-minute break, Liu Yi came to play with Du Chen.
"No, it's boring."
"Catching stones?"
"No, my hands are dirty." Du Chen continued to wave his hands and didn't want to go.
Ever since Liu Yi became familiar with him, when Liu Yi had nothing to do after class, he would go find Du Chen to play with. However, he had no idea about these things that children played with, they were too childish.
"Then what do you want to play?" Liu Yi asked, scratching his head.
"There's nothing I want to play. Besides, what can I play in ten minutes? Okay, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be there soon."
In order to get rid of Liu Yi, Du Chen stood up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.
"Wait for me, I'll go with you!" Liu Yi said as he trotted after Du Chen.
"Du Chen, let me tell you, my dad went to get his bicycle repaired yesterday. The mechanic said the bicycle chain was broken, so he asked my dad to replace it."
Liu Yi, who was peeing, turned around and spoke mysteriously to Du Chen.
Du Chen had a face full of question marks.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Oh! Bicycle chain! Don't you want it?" Liu Yi said to Du Chen exaggeratedly.
"Why would I need a bicycle chain? It's incomprehensible."
"Make a chain gun! Don't you like it?"
The word "chain gun" suddenly brought back Du Chen's memories. He hadn't heard of or seen a chain gun for a long time. A chain gun was once the dream of many boys. Du Chen also wanted to own a chain gun, but he had never been able to realize his wish.
"Where is the chain now?" Du Chen suddenly became interested and wanted to try making a chain gun himself.
"It's at my house. I asked my dad to bring it back."
"Okay, did it work?"
"It's useless. My dad said he gave it to me!"
"Can you bring it over this afternoon? I'll make a chain gun for Xiang Xiang!"
"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll bring it over in the afternoon." Liu Yi said happily.
During the remaining two classes in the morning, Du Chen's mind was not on the classroom. He was recalling how the chain gun he had seen was made.
A chain gun actually uses a firing pin to fire match heads inside a chain. You can only hear a "pop" sound. It is not dangerous, but it is very fun.
Du Chen thought about it carefully. The chain gun was actually very simple. It just used seven or eight sections of bicycle chain. Motorcycle chains would be even better, but they were hard to come by. Then, rubber bands and thick wire would do. The structure was simple too.
In the afternoon, Liu Yi really brought the bicycle chain, a whole bicycle chain!
"Liu Yi, such a long chain can be used to make several chain guns!" Du Chen said to Liu Yi happily. There are very few children's toys that can arouse Du Chen's interest.
"You do whatever you want, just give me one." Liu Yi said naively. He actually just wanted to play with Du Chen, and his parents also told him to get closer to Du Chen.
"I went home at noon and saw that there was no thick wire at home. So, on Saturday or Sunday, I asked my dad to take me to his workplace. He had plenty of wire and tools there."
"Okay, you can do it as soon as you can, but can you take me with you when the time comes?" Liu Yi asked nervously.
"Just go if your parents let you go." Du Chen answered casually.
…
"Dad, are you free on Sunday? I want to go to your workplace to find something."
While having dinner in the evening, Du Chen asked Comrade Lao Du.
"I have time. What are you looking for? Let me see if I can find it. If I can, I can just bring it back, right?" Comrade Lao Du asked casually.
"I'm going to find some thick wire, steel wire would be even better, because I want to make a chain gun." Du Chen answered honestly.
"Do you have a bicycle chain?" Du Bin, who was standing next to him, asked with interest.
"Well, Liu Yi gave me a bicycle chain today, and I thought about making a chain gun to play with." Du Chen told Du Bin directly.
"Dad, I also want to go with my brother." When Du Bin heard about the chain gun, he was also jealous and wanted to go and see it together.
"Okay then, boss, you have classes on Saturday, so go on Sunday, but you can't fall behind in your studies," Comrade Lao Du advised.
That is, Du Bin did well on his midterm exams, and he's been doing really well in recent months, so Comrade Du is going to relax. Based on Du Bin's past performance, if he wants to go out and play, he'll be fine. He'll be lucky if he doesn't get beaten up.
"Okay, okay, Dad. I'll definitely finish all my homework on Saturday night."
Du Bin was also very jealous of the chain gun. He also wanted to own one, but chain guns were really rare toys. Although he was in junior high school, Du Bin was still a child.
Sunday came in the blink of an eye. Liu Yi had made an appointment with Du Chen in advance to meet at his store. After Liu Yi arrived, Du Chen, Du Bin and Liu Yi followed Comrade Lao Du and went to Comrade Lao Du's unit together.
The unit's repair shop is located in a corner of the unit's outermost wall. It is a very large workshop. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles, a large door is opened directly on the wall, so there is no need to go around from inside the unit.
Comrade Lao Du opened the door and several people filed in. As soon as they entered, they smelled a mixture of gasoline, diesel and engine oil, which was strong but not unpleasant.
Du Chen took a deep breath. He hadn't smelled this smell for a long time. You know, he was influenced by his father and later opened a modification shop, and he also smelled this smell every day.
After his rebirth, he has never been to his father's workplace, so he hasn't smelled this smell for many years. Now when he suddenly smells it, he misses it quite a bit.
