Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

In the courtyard of the new residence on Saturday, an iron pot on a coal stove was steaming. The rich aroma of meat kept wafting in the room, making Yang Dongxu, who was assembling a bicycle, keep looking into the pot.

It was now the twelfth lunar month, and the first snow had fallen in Yanjing last week, causing the temperature to suddenly drop below zero. Therefore, the assembly work that had previously been done in the yard was moved to the side room.

No one else is willing to move here, so there are only Yang Dongxu and Wu Aibing here every day. Usually when he goes to school, Wu Aibing is alone.

It's a long way from Maoer Hutong, and it's too cold in winter so we can't go back to eat at noon. So we set up a coal stove here. Wu Aibing came back here to have a meal at noon, and in the afternoon he gave the assembled bicycles to those who had originally booked

As soon as the door is locked, you can go home and take care of your mother.

"Cross, the car strips should cross. The longer the brake line is, the better. When you hold the brake, you have to put force on the brake pads." I got a car strip in the rim and glanced at the head next to it.

The profusely sweating martial arts soldier Yang Dongxu reluctantly went over to teach him step by step.

Wu Aibing is good at everything and has a smart mind, but he is confused about the technology of assembling bicycles. He is like a smart child who can do anything, but looks like a fool when he learns to read.

However, with the help of Wu Aibing, he can make money instantly by assembling the bicycle, which saves Yang Dongxu a lot of work. More importantly, Wu Aibing is so honest. Sometimes when he sees him so stupid, Yang Dongxu can't bear to say that he can only do it once.

Teach all over.

Bicycle parts are cheaper than Yang Dongxu imagined because they are purchased in large quantities every time. So on average, it costs about 60 yuan to assemble a bicycle.

Bicycles with bills and no worries are selling very well at a price of 150 yuan. Just the factory where Wu Aibing helped his comrade buy parts was in short supply.

At first, Yang Dongxu planned to only cost 120 for a car, leaving enough profit margin for Wu Aibing. How much he could sell it for depends on his ability.

But Wu Aibing didn't agree with anything he said, and said that the apprentice was just in charge of the food and didn't need to be paid. Seeing how "cute" he was, Yang Dongxu was really a little worried about how he would survive in the era of explosion of fraud technology.

In the end, Yang Dongxu decided to set the price of the bicycle at 150 yuan to avoid selling it for 70 yuan. Whenever I think of Wu Aibing seeing someone paying 150 yuan to buy a bicycle, the look in his eyes made him want to say it but dare not say it.

Yang Dongxu felt even more that he was a black-hearted businessman.

150 for a bicycle, and Wu Aibing gets 10 yuan for selling a Wu Aibing. This is what Yang Dongxu finally forced him to agree to. Then he will give his comrades 10 yuan for each set. You can't let people work in vain, right?

.So Yang Dongxu can transfer 70 yuan to assemble a bicycle.

Because of schooling, Yang Dongxu has only assembled three cars in the past few days, one of which was given to his godfather. After selling the remaining two cars, old man Xuan felt uneasy for a while and ran here three times a day.

, for fear of something happening.

Yes, you are all good people! I am the only one with a dark heart. Yang Dongxu suddenly felt that his future business theories were so out of place in this era.

"Can we set up three cars today? Everyone who wants the car has paid a deposit, so it's a bit tight." Wu Aibing asked with embarrassment as Yang Dongxu smoothed out the car strips that were just like a mess.

But he didn't know why he was obsessed with this. He could dismantle a machine gun used in combat and assemble it with his eyes closed. But he just couldn't handle the cross-strengthening of the machine guns.

"It should be no problem. I'll do the bike strips and brake lines this afternoon. You just assemble these big pieces." Yang Dongxu nodded after looking at the four bicycle rims that had been completed.

"This is no problem." Wu Aibing assured him, patting his chest. As long as he was not allowed to work on the car strips and the brake line, he could do the rest with ease.

After coiling the car rods in their hands, they did not rush to straighten the car rims. They poured hot water from the kettle. Yang Dongxu and Wu Aibing washed their hands and prepared to eat. At this time, the chicken stewed with mushrooms in the pot was already thick and the meat was rotten.

The white-faced steamed buns are also transparent.

Naturally, the chicken is not an ordinary chicken. It was caught by Wu Aibing last night. Now, whether it is Qianhai, Houhai, or Beihai Park, there are grassy areas along the water. When it snows in winter, many people go there to chase rabbits and catch pheasants.

We can't even see wild animals like foxes.

Authentic pheasant, paired with mushrooms that Mr. Xuan picked and dried in the summer, plus some dried vegetables and Mr. Xuan’s unique secret recipe. Although it is not the first time to eat it, every time I eat it, I feel like I am in a hurry and might bite my tongue.

"After dinner, while it's still hot, you can take me to the post office to mail the letter first, and then we'll come back to assemble the bicycle." After shaking his head for a while, Yang Dongxu filled a bowl of soup and soaked the steamed buns in it. In fact, at this time, there were even more pot stickers.

Regarding the taste, it was a pity that neither he nor Aibing knew how to make noodles, so they had to make do with ready-made steamed buns.

Counting the days, Yang Dongxu has been away from home for almost half a year. Although he has the heart of a forty-year-old, he has been away from home all year round. But I don’t know why I feel so homesick recently, so one letter a month ago has become half a month now, or

Closed on a Monday.

"Why don't you give me the letter and I'll send it to you? It should still be at the same address, right? I remember, it's quite cold outside." Wu Aibing, who was sweating from eating, said.

"I also want to go over and call Uncle Chen Weimin, my godfather's student. It seems like there is no way to go back this year. My godfather is too busy and can't spare the time. So I want to call Uncle Chen.

Please call me and ask him to take care of my parents' place." Yang Dongxu sighed and said.

Originally, when summer came, we agreed to go back during the Spring Festival. It happened that Yang Dongxu also had a long winter vacation at that time. But who would have thought that Zhou Yiren would be so busy that he could not spare any time.

Although there are no child abductors in this era, no one would be at ease if Yang Dongxu, a child, traveled thousands of miles to return home. So there is no need to think about returning home during the New Year. All we can do is see if there is a chance to go back during the summer vacation next year.

Thinking about the thrifty character of his parents, even if they have money, they will aggravate their temper. So Yang Dongxun planned to say hello to Chen Weimin in advance and let him have time to send some things and send some new year's goods during the New Year. Everything was sold.

You can't just look at it and not eat it, right?

Of course, although Chen Weimin was very willing to help, Yang Dongxu did not take advantage of him in vain. When writing home, he would occasionally write a letter to Chen Weimin, which contained some suggestions on some economic markets and how to develop agriculture.

Chen Weimin benefited greatly from these suggestions, and sometimes even wrote unsolicited letters to Yang Dongxu. I heard from my godfather that the fertilizer plant built in Chengwang District at the beginning of the year had been put into production. This incident made Chen Weimin a big star, and maybe next year

I can move up a bit.

After dinner, Wu Aibing took Yang Dongxu to the post office by bicycle. He called Chen Weimin. Some things were unclear in the letter, so it was more convenient to call.

Unfortunately, telephones cannot be installed in private homes now. Even in Yanjing, if you want to make a call, you can only go to the subdistrict office or a national institution such as the post office.

As for whether you can install a telephone in your hometown, don’t even think about it. The telephone lines in Anhui Province have only been laid in the district. There are no telephones even in the town. If there is anything, you have to ride down to notify me, let alone the lower level.

The countryside.

But one advantage is that it is free to make phone calls now. Yes, it is free. Because there are no private phones, all calls are business-to-business, so there is no phone fee. This makes Yang Dongxu see that this era is even more advanced than later generations.

Wherever you go, phone calls are free.

Of course, even if it is free of charge, ordinary people generally cannot use the telephone, which means that the current telephone is not available to anyone who wants to. What’s more, Wu Aibing has a child who works at the post office, so Yang Dongxu takes advantage of this convenience.

.

After making the call, he came out of the post office. Yang Dongxu handed the new bag to Wu Aibing. Wu Aibing ran to the counter and bought a stamp to put it on. The counter was too high for Yang Dongxu to reach.

"It's done, let's go back." Wu Aibing shook the letter in his hand at Yang Dongxu, indicating that it was done, and then threw the letter to the person receiving it at the post office.

Yang Dongxu nodded without saying anything and turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and came out. Wu Aibing who was following him almost bumped into him.

"What's wrong?" Wu Aibing looked at Yang Dongxu strangely.

Yang Dongxu looked blankly at the frowning expression on the other side of the counter. A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind just now, but the light disappeared too quickly and he didn't catch it, but he instinctively felt that he seemed to have overlooked something important.

things.

Seeing that Yang Dongxu was silent and staring blankly in the direction of the counter, Wu Aibing turned around and looked carefully at everything in that direction. He found nothing wrong and turned to look at Yang Dongxu in confusion.

"Aibing, you haven't left yet, haven't you sent the letter yet?" Liu Shengli asked, as Wu Aibing came out from behind with a teacup in his hand.

"It has been sent, I am not..." Wu Aibing didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"By the way, send the letter!" Yang Dongxu's eyes lit up and he ran towards the counter. Although Wu Aibing was surprised, he could only follow from behind. After arriving at the counter, Yang Dongxu stepped on his feet and blinked his innocent big eyes and said: "Auntie, help me get it.

One page of stamps requires a whole page. It’s the red one with monkeys printed on it.”

"Kid, why do you want so many stamps? A whole page of stamps is not cheap." The staff behind the counter looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile, obviously treating him as a seven-year-old kid who was interested in bright things.

Treated.

"It's okay, I have money." Yang Dongxu took a ten-dollar bill and handed it over through the small window on the counter.

"This..." The post office worker was a little dumbfounded. After working for several years, the money passed through her hands, ranging from 100,000 yuan to 80,000 yuan. This was the first time she saw a child take out 10 yuan. She

He couldn't help but look at Wu Aibing behind Xu Dongxu. The meaning in his eyes was very clear, why don't you hurry up and take care of your children?
