But he didn't sleep well. It seemed that he had only slept for a short time when Wan Feng felt someone coming into the room where he and Zhu Ping were sleeping.
When I opened my eyes, I saw my aunt acting suspiciously.
"Auntie, what are you doing? It's like stealing."
"What did you see today?" Zhu Yan asked in a low voice.
What did you see? I didn’t see anything!
Wan Feng glanced around and found that his aunt's face seemed very nervous. Then he thought about it and suddenly realized what was going on. He immediately sat up and perked up.
Isn't it true that a thief will confess himself if he is not punished for three years? Doesn't her question prove that the thief is guilty?
"Hey, Auntie, I didn't expect that someone as quiet as you could pull off something so strange. I've been seeing you acting suspiciously lately, and it turns out you're feeling amorous. How did you get involved with that old so-and-so?"
"How can you talk to your aunt like that? You are so rude."
"Let's not talk nonsense, okay? What do you want to do? If you want me to help you out, then show your sincerity. Don't act so condescending. I, your nephew, am an educated man with a feather fan and a robe, and I can see through things like seeing through fire."
"How is he?" Zhu Yan asked shyly.
"Who is it? How can I ask you for advice if you don't even know your name? I can't just find someone to give me advice, right?"
"Humph! I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'm telling you my story and you're not allowed to leave."
Zhu Yan turned and went out.
As if I am happy about it. I earn several tens of cents a minute, so why should I have time to talk about your family matters?
Unable to sleep, Wan Feng got up to eat.
The main course tonight is corn porridge, and the side dishes are boiled turnips and a plate of steamed salted fish.
It is made from dried fish caught in the sea. When steaming, it is cut into one-inch pieces and steamed with a little soybean oil. The orange fish aroma fills the house.
This was given by Luan Ying. As for who it was given to, she didn't know. Wan Feng thought it was for himself and only left a few for Luan Feng's family. He took the big ones to his grandmother's house.
Anyway, Luan Feng's family has no shortage of this stuff.
Although Wan Feng doesn't eat crabs, shrimps and clams, he does eat fish.
In addition to the taste, the main reason is that fish is much more beneficial to humans than pork.
Fish is rich in protein and contains fatty acids that can reduce heart disease. Eating more fish can help lower the body's cholesterol content. It also has the effect of improving eyesight and memory.
People who eat fish regularly can greatly increase muscle elasticity and toughness, thereby increasing the coordination of the human body. This is why European and American athletes almost never eat pork and mainly eat fish.
For Wan Feng, the main thing is that his appetite does not object to the entry of fish, both freshwater and saltwater fish can pass through unimpeded.
A piece of steamed fish and a bowl of corn porridge almost filled Wan Feng's stomach.
Just as I was about to run after finishing my meal, my grandfather stopped me and said, "My radio box is not working. Don't you know how to do everything? Please clean it up."
It will take some time.
Wan Feng took the radio box down from the wall and disassembled it.
The radio box was about ten centimeters long and five centimeters wide, roughly the size of half a brick. Inside it was a speaker about two inches in diameter connected to a few wires.
If one of the wires is broken, the speaker will of course not sound.
As for soldering, forget it. Without a soldering iron or solder, Wan Feng simply twisted the broken wires together with his hands and it was done!
Zhu Ping was waiting for Wan Feng on the street. He wanted to go to Liang Wan's house with Wan Feng. After all, he was now a member of the leadership of the Wahou team, and if there was any big thing in Wahou, he could hardly be left behind.
The ones waiting for Wan Feng with him were naturally Zhu Yan and Jiang Xue. If there was no power outage at night, they would go to Luan Feng's house to earn extra money.
After repairing the radio and walking out, Wan Feng started to think.
The tape recorder is of little use for the time being because we can't buy cassettes, but getting a phonograph for Luan Feng and the others to listen to doesn't seem to be a problem.
Buy new?
Wan Feng would never waste that kind of money. That thing would be obsolete in a few days, and he wouldn't be fooled.
Normally, the brigade radio station should have several damaged or faulty phonographs. He went to ask for one and had it repaired.
That kind of plastic record is only two cents a piece, just buy a few and you're done.
"Hurry up and leave!" Zhu Ping acted like a leader and gave orders to the dawdling Wan Feng on the street.
What are you so anxious about!
Wan Feng muttered to himself, without any intention of speeding up his pace.
My uncle was in a hurry to go to Liang Wan's house to drink, so he didn't eat at dinner time, leaving his stomach empty for the yellow soup.
That was the reason for his anxiety but it had nothing to do with Wan Feng, as he was full.
When they reached the street, the four men walked in unison towards the ditch.
Zhu Yan and Jiang Xue were chattering about what kind of clothes looked good and how they would make one when they had enough money.
"How much money have you made from Luan Feng now?" Wan Feng interrupted.
"At first, there were more than ten apprentices, and they were paid two cents a night."
Wan Feng knew that the money was set by him, so he shouldn't think it was too little. Apprentice Luan Feng didn't get a penny a month.
"We have been sewing trousers for the past few days. We are paid one cent for each pair of trousers. We can cut about 30 pairs of trousers in one night. Each of us earns one dollar and fifty cents a night. Now I have ten dollars." Zhu Yan said proudly.
"Ah! Did you make one dollar and fifty cents?" Zhu Ping suddenly said from the side.
Even though Jiang Xue also worked for Luan Feng, he was so careless that he had never asked Jiang Xue about this matter. Now he was shocked.
One dollar and fifty cents a night was a shocking figure for the rural people at that time.
"Jiang Minyi earns more than three dollars, maybe even four." Jiang Xue finally said.
This number surprised Zhu Ping even more. How much wine could he buy with just three or four dollars?
"Don't envy her. She has been able to sew and mend her own pants since she was six or seven years old, and started learning to make clothes at the age of ten. After her family got a sewing machine, she has been using it for two years. What else can you do besides embroidering two flowers? Practice hard, and when you reach her level, you will naturally earn as much as her." Wan Feng comforted his aunt and Jiang Xue.
Women's jealousy can cause very bad things, and we must not let this tendency grow recklessly.
"We know that we just need to do it as quickly as possible and strive to make money like Jiang Min."
Yes, it is a good thing to have ideals, which is better than living in ignorance.
"We want to buy sewing machines. Can you help us get two?" Aunt is so romantic.
Two? Wanfeng can't get two at the moment.
"You'd better wait until you save enough money. With the ten dollars you have now, you can't even buy a sewing machine leg."
Although you may not be able to buy a sewing machine even if you have money, you definitely cannot buy one without money.
The supply of sewing machines is too tight, and he has no other choice now. If he could buy a sewing machine, he would not have come up with the idea of adding a charm to the machine.
Even though the wear and tear cost of a sewing machine may not seem like much, it still adds up to more than seventy yuan a year, and a new sewing machine will be gone in two years.
