303: I learned blacksmithing in the repair shop
Shao Xia smiled gratefully at Yu Xiaoye and did not refuse the kindness.
Yu Jiahui on the opposite side also accepted the steamed bun as a thank you gift.
Several people started eating and chatting while eating.
This was Yu Jiahui's first day at the repair shop. Yu Xiaoye was curious about what his father had been busy with this morning, so he asked:
"Dad, are you adjusting well in the repair shop?"
"I can adapt, of course I can!" Yu Jiahui's face lit up when he mentioned the repair shop. "I found a good job there!"
"What kind of work?"
Yu Jiahui smiled and said:
"Guess what."
Yu Xiaoye didn't know much about the repair shop and what kinds of jobs there were, so he just asked casually:
"They're not going to just ask you to fix tractors, are they?"
Yu Jiahui shook his head:
"No—guess again."
Yu Xiaoye chewed the steamed bun and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that his daughter couldn't guess, Yu Jiahui said complacently:
"I'm learning blacksmithing in a repair shop. Haha, you never thought!"
"Blacksmithing?" Yu Xiaoye never expected that her father would actually be swinging a sledgehammer in a repair shop! "Dad, you actually like blacksmithing?"
Shao Xia was also quite surprised, because blacksmithing is the most tiring job, even more tiring than working in the fields, so most people are not willing to do this.
Yu Jiahui seemed to be enjoying it:
"Yes, blacksmithing is really interesting, much more interesting than working in the fields. I watched the old blacksmith in the repair shop take a piece of red-hot iron, hammer it, and in a short while, he hammered out a new sickle. It was really impressive! I have to admire the working people's hands! They are so skillful!"
Yu Xiaoye was a little amused and confused. He never thought that his father would be interested in blacksmithing.
However, it seems that my father was born an optimistic person.
For example, when the family first arrived, they had no place to stay and were content with having a haunted house and a job working in the fields.
Yu Jiahui is busy and happy every day, and never complains or feels disgusted.
Now that he is at the repair shop, it is impossible for him to compete with the skilled workers for the repair work, as they will definitely not let him interfere.
So Yu Jiahui could only do some heavy work like blacksmithing.
However, from Yu Jiahui's tone, it can be heard that Yu Jiahui is indeed very interested in blacksmithing and does not seem to be reluctant at all.
When the topic of blacksmithing came up, Yu Jiahui forgot about his meal and said with great interest:
"Don't look down on blacksmiths. On the surface, they seem to be doing rough work, but in reality, it's not. They lift the hammer, and the hammer brings skill. I heard that the old blacksmith in the repair shop can make you a tractor part with no difference!"
"Really? The old blacksmith is so awesome!"
"——" Yu Jiahui wanted to say more.
Seeing his father's incessant chatter, Yu Xiaoye quickly said:
"Dad, let's eat first. We can talk about blacksmithing later."
Yu Jiahui thought his daughter had no interest in blacksmithing, so he stopped talking and went back to eating.
After taking two bites, he couldn't help but whispered that the company's home was short of a lot of iron tools, so he would find a way to make a hatchet, an axe, and a few iron hooks to take back with him.
Yu Xiaoye was very happy that her father could find something he loved to do in the repair shop. She had been worried that her father would not be able to adapt to life in the repair shop, but now it seems that her worries were unnecessary.
My father really does what he loves.
When I was farming in the company, I worked very hard on it.
Now that I'm in the repair shop, I'm seriously learning blacksmithing.
Maybe after more than a month, Dad will be able to master this seemingly rough but actually delicate craft, and he will have an additional skill.
After dinner, they didn't leave in a hurry, but took the opportunity to chat for a while.
Yu Jiahui was still talking to his daughter about blacksmithing, and did not mention Zhang Guangtian who was beaten.
Although everyone around was discussing Zhang Guangtian being beaten, the father and daughter acted as if they hadn't heard anything and didn't say a word.
Shao Xia is now completely impressed by the father and daughter and admires them from the bottom of her heart.
They are just like the chivalrous and righteous hermits in ancient stories, hiding on the farm for some unavoidable reasons.
Just wait for the right opportunity one day, then he will soar into the sky and reveal his identity as a hero.
The more Shao Xia thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.
How else could Yu Xiaoye have such talent? He was adept at playing all kinds of instruments, singing, and composing and directing. Shao Xia felt that sometimes Yu Xiaoye was even more professional than Liang Qin when directing the team members' rehearsals.
Sometimes Liang Qin had to listen to her.
Such a capable person must have some unusual origins.
Let’s talk about Yu Jiahui. On the surface, he looks like an uneducated old man, but in fact his words and deeds are different from those of real old men.
Yu Jiahui has the education and attentiveness that other truly rough old men do not have, and his attitude towards his daughter is also different from that of all other fathers.
Sometimes it’s not like the relationship between father and daughter, but more like good friends who can talk about anything.
Shao Xia had never seen such a friendly and equal father-daughter relationship in her life.
In short, Shao Xia felt that this father and daughter were really "outliers".
The word "outlier" is a compliment.
Shao Xia listened to the conversation between the father and daughter silently without interrupting.
They waited until Yu Jiahui had finished speaking and there were almost no people left in the cafeteria before they got up and left.
After leaving the cafeteria, Yu Xiaoye handed his lunch box to Shao Xia:
"Shao Xia, take my lunch box back. I'll take my dad to the repair shop and take a look at what the shop looks like."
"Okay, I'll bring it back to you." Shao Xia guessed that the father and daughter must have something to say in private, so she didn't ask any more questions and took Yu Xiaoye's lunch box.
I’m leaving first.
As soon as Shao Xia left, the father and daughter looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Shao Xia walked away, Yu Xiaoye hugged his father's arm and said nervously:
"Dad, do you know that I almost couldn't sleep last night!!"
"Coward, what are you afraid of?" When Yu Jiahui said this, he was actually a little nervous.
Thinking of the beating scene last night, the father and daughter felt like they were dreaming.
It’s unbelievable that these civilized and law-abiding citizens of the 21st generation would actually do such a thing?
Attack someone in the middle of the night?
I can’t believe it even when I say it!
Yu Xiaoye asked in a low voice:
"Are you sure you wouldn't beat someone to death? Beating someone to death would be a murder, and the higher-ups would definitely investigate it thoroughly."
"Don't worry, there won't be any murder. I just don't know if Zhang will be beaten into a cripple."
"It's better to be lame. After that, you won't hurt people everywhere. You will definitely get your comeuppance when the time comes."
"Now it all depends on how the hospital treats you. Regardless of whether you can be cured or not, at least you and Xiao Shao are safe during this period."
"Dad, last night was so exciting! After I got back to the dormitory, I hid under the covers and my hands were shaking, you know?"
"You didn't hit him, why are you trembling?"
