The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

"How is it? Can it be repaired?" The man looked at Yan Jiecheng and asked nervously.

Yan Jiecheng thought that the pipe inside was probably burned, so he said, "It can be repaired, but a part must be replaced. I'll open it first and look inside to see if there are any other problems."

"It's good if it can be repaired, just take a look." The man thought that anyway, as he had just said, if he couldn't repair it, Yan Jie would pay him money.

Yan Jiecheng took the toolbox handed over by Liu Guangtian, took out the screwdriver and opened the radio casing. He saw that there was a black tube inside, and it turned out that it was burned out. He checked other places again.

There were no other problems, so Yan Jiefang went to the department store where radios were sold and bought a tube.

Then he turned to the man and said, "I've sent someone to buy accessories. It will take a while before the machine is repaired. Why don't you find a place to sit down first?"

The man waved his hand: "No, I can just stand. I see that you were very skilled in dismantling the machine just now. Why haven't I seen you before?"

"This is also our first time here. We have been at Xizhimen before." Of course Yan Jiecheng can't say that this is the first time for someone to repair, otherwise he will run away, so he can only send him there by randomly talking about a place.

.

"Your machine looks quite new. Is it a new one?"

"You may have misjudged this. It has been over ten years since I bought it. I bought it when I got married. Even though it has been well maintained, I don't use it often. My parents usually listen to the radio." The man heard Yan Jiecheng say this with a smile.

He replied.

After waiting for a while, Yan Jiefang ran back panting on his bicycle, parked the bicycle, and handed the tube in his hand to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng removed the blackened tube, installed the new one he bought, and then plugged it in. A crisp sound came from inside.

The man listened to the voice coming from the radio and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, the sound was like this before. I thought it couldn't be repaired."

"How is it possible? As long as it breaks, it can be repaired. It's just a matter of how much money." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile. This was his first time repairing electrical appliances with others.

"That's right, by the way, I'll give it to you how much it costs to repair this machine." The man realized that he didn't have the money, so he asked Yan Jiecheng.

"Please give me five yuan. The main reason for asking so much is because one of the pipes is broken, and we don't earn much." Yan Jiecheng explained. Yan must know that the living expenses of an ordinary person in an ordinary family are only this amount per month. Yan Jiefang

I told him just now that this pipe costs more than four yuan, and they only earn a few cents for it.

The man didn't think much after hearing this. He took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it directly to Yan Jiecheng, then left with the radio in his arms. He was beside him when he was repairing the radio just now. He saw the invoice Yan Jiefang was holding and knew that

This pipe alone costs more than 4 yuan, so I don’t need much.

When the others walked away, Liu Guangtian laughed happily. "Brother-in-law, it's so easy for us to make money. I made fifty cents in a short while, but it would be more than ten yuan in a day, and that's it in a month..."

"As he spoke, Liu Guangtian also counted on his fingers.

"Shut up, it's so easy. This is a replacement of parts. If there are some minor problems, you will only be charged a cent or two. Besides,

Where do you get so many electrical appliances for us to repair now?" Yan Jiefang glared at Liu Guangtian angrily, thinking that this kid had better ideas than him. If it was so easy to make money, why would he work?

"It's okay to earn just a few yuan a day. It's more than my salary." Then Liu Guangtian started counting on his fingers how much money he would earn in a month if he earned just a few yuan a day.

Yan Jiecheng felt a headache when he saw it: "Okay, don't count anymore. You might as well rest during this time. You'll have to do some errands later."

"I know, brother-in-law, this is not the first time I've made money quickly, so I'm a little happy." Liu Guangtian said with a grin.

When Yan Jiefang heard Liu Guangtian tell lies, he immediately responded: "This is not the first time. You forgot that I asked you to spray paint my bicycle. I don't believe you didn't ask me for more money."

"Ahem, cough, it's been so many years, I've forgotten it. Is this the only time you remember it for so long?" Liu Guangtian said awkwardly. At that time, he had not married Yu Haitang and had no relatives with the Lao Yan family.

As for the relationship, I don’t think I can help you in vain. Isn’t it appropriate to receive some kickbacks?

"As for that, of course I don't care. It's several dollars, not just a little bit. No, you have to return the money to me." Yan Jiefang looked at Liu Guangtian angrily.

"Okay, bygones are bygones. Don't hold it accountable. You have to feel sorry for what you did in the first place." Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Jiefang speechlessly.

Devour

"My brother-in-law is right. It's been so many years since you did this. Besides, I must have received a lot of favors just to help you paint your bicycle. This debt of favor is harder to repay than money."

Yan Jiefang looked at himself and said that Liu Guangtian muttered, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." He picked up the cigarette that Yan Jiecheng put in the car and ran away to smoke by himself.

After that, several waves of people came over one after another to ask for repairs to their electrical appliances. Most of them were small electrical appliances. Some people even came over to ask if the light at home was broken. Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to call back, so he had to send Yan Jiefang over to help them repair their electrical appliances.

Fixed.

Yan Jiecheng was busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon before he planned to call it a day. They didn't even eat lunch.

"Okay everyone, we have to go back and have dinner. We still need to repair things until next Sunday. Let's stay here."

After they were sent away, Yan Jiecheng took Liu Guangtian and the others to a small restaurant.

After ordering a few dishes and some steamed buns, Yan Jiefang originally wanted to divide the money and go home to eat, but Yan Jiecheng persuaded him to do so.

There's no need to be anxious about sharing money. It's not just this one time. There will be many opportunities in the future. It's the first time to make extra money. The three of them have to celebrate.

After ordering, the three of them found a table next to the window and sat down. As soon as they sat down, Liu Guangtian couldn't wait to ask Yan Jiefang: "Jiefang, how much did we earn today? Why don't you take it out and I'll help you

Count.”

"You don't need it. I've counted it several times. It's four yuan and seven dollars in total." Yan Jiefang looked at Liu Guangtian with disgust and asked him to count. He had to count on his fingers.

"Ah, I see it's quite a lot. Why is it only more than four yuan?"

"It looks like there are quite a lot of them. They are all small jobs, such as repairing a flashlight or something. How much do you want to ask for?" Yan Jiefang said angrily to Liu Guangtian.

"Okay, it's quite a lot. From now on, you two will go and do it. Each of you earns two or three yuan this day. It's enough for you to buy a pack of cigarettes and go to a restaurant. What else are you not satisfied with?"

"If you two save some money, you can save about ten yuan this month."

………

After dinner at the hotel, Yan Jiecheng and the three of them returned to the courtyard. Yan Jiecheng was afraid that Wu Juan would find out, so he gave the tools to Yan Jiecheng and asked him to pick them up at his house next time.

When she got home, Yu Li took Yan Jiecheng and asked her how the harvest was today.

She was moved when she heard Yan Jiecheng say that he earned several dollars in one day, which was equivalent to several days of her salary.

That is to say, their family was not short of money, otherwise she would have thought of quitting her job and repairing people's electrical appliances all day long.
