The old man first walked around the car to measure where it was going, then tilted his head and moved slightly closer to the hood, listened twice and clapped his hands.
"It's not a big deal. I'll just have to fix the oil pan."
"Hand over the wrenches and pliers, and give me some screws and other things."
As he said this, the old man looked at the soldiers.
"Okay, sir, I'll get it for you right away."
Several fitters had just learned a lot from the old man, and now when they were asked to run errands, they ran really fast.
Liu Xiaojun looked at the old man in confusion.
"Uncle, don't you need to open it and examine it carefully? Don't make a wrong diagnosis and embarrass yourself."
When the old man heard this, he was not angry, but happy instead!
"Damn it! I was an eighth-level mechanic in the army. If it weren't for my health problems, I wouldn't have wanted to retire!"
"Don't try to provoke me, kid. Just wait and see."
After a while, several soldiers came with equipment to dismantle things.
"Uncle Cao, I've brought you something."
Uncle Cao pointed to a spot not far from the car and said, "Okay, put it on the ground."
Soldier: "Do you need my help?"
Uncle Cao waved his hand: "No need, I can handle it alone. Please move away and don't block the old man's light."
The soldiers immediately took several steps back.
Several people watched the old man operate, and they were also nervous.
The mechanics came and went, one after another, and the people who came said this one needed to be replaced, and then they said that that one needed to be replaced.
Is it okay if this old man doesn't say anything?
Besides, these eighth-level repairmen are precious talents. Uncle Cao wouldn’t be deceiving them.
Just when everyone was thinking this, Liu Xiaojun did start to figure something out. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable confidence in Uncle Cao at this moment.
Several people just watched Uncle Cao tinkering with things here and there.
After a while, the old man shouted, "It's done."
The soldiers and other fitters looked at the car that hadn't been tinkered with for even a few minutes, then looked at the old man and said in disbelief:
"Is this all right?"
The old man spread his hands and said, "Yeah, what else do you need to do? It's fixed now."
"We've only been messing around for a few moments. Uncle, are you kidding us?"
The old man laughed and scolded when he heard it: "Whether it's good or not, you will know it after you try it."
Then he threw the key to the soldier.
The soldier was not hesitant and tried it directly.
The car circled the factory several times, and all the previous problems disappeared.
After a while, the soldier parked the car in the backyard again. After getting out of the car, he gave the old man a thumbs up.
"Sir, you are amazing. You can tell what the problem is just by listening to the sound."
Uncle Cao: "That's nothing. For us drivers, knowing how to repair a car is just basic operation. Besides, which car repairman these days doesn't know how to locate a car by sound? If you can't do that, how can you be qualified to repair a car?"
After hearing what the old man said, the soldiers didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Xiaojun stood up at this time and smiled at the old man.
"Uncle Cao, if you say that, then I guess more than half of the mechanics in our country are not qualified to repair cars."
As he said that, Liu Xiaojun handed the prepared fare to Uncle Cao.
"Uncle Cao, this is the money I promised you for the ride."
When Uncle Cao saw Liu Xiaojun take out a stack of money, he quickly pushed it away.
"Before I met the employer, I was indeed planning to accept it, but now that I see it's you, I'll forget about it."
"That won't do. One thing is another." Liu Xiaojun stuffed the money into Uncle Cao's hand without allowing it to be refused.
Through observation, Liu Xiaojun roughly knew that Uncle Cao was not short of money, but he couldn't refuse to pay just because others were not short of money!
"Alright, I'll take it. By the way, did you forget something?"
Uncle Cao put the money in his pocket and felt even more favorable towards Liu Xiaojun.
These days, repairing a car usually costs two to three dollars or ten dollars at most. This guy actually gave me the money according to the black market price, which can be considered as keeping his promise.
But he must not forget his promise to teach him how to fish.
Since retiring, this is the only hobby that Old Man Cao has left. In addition, he knows that he may not live for many years, so he has become obsessed with his hobby of fishing.
"What?"
Liu Xiaojun didn't react at once.
Uncle Cao: "Fishing skills, didn't you say that if I could really tell what's wrong with your car just by the sound, you would tell me all the fishing machine skills you know?"
"Don't regret it."
When Liu Xiaojun heard this, he also laughed.
"I dare not."
This old man is quite funny. He doesn't want to accept the fare of more than 100 yuan, but he has a special liking for this fishing skill.
Liu Xiaojun half-jokingly said:
"Okay, I can teach you this fishing skill, but I don't have time this afternoon. How about you stay in our parts factory and help me teach these fitters? I'll take you out for dinner this afternoon and show you my fishing skills."
"You kid, you're really calculating, but who told me not to bother? These are just a few kids, right? I promise to teach you a lesson."
Liu Xiaojun was stunned. He didn't expect that Uncle Cao would agree so readily.
"Well...how about I pay you a salary? Otherwise, I'll feel bad."
Uncle Cao: "You kid want to keep me in your small parts factory, right? I tell you, this is not possible. I am sick..."
