Comfortable life in Siheyuan

At the dinner table, Liu Qingsong told Liu's father the result of the discussion, which made the old man very happy.

However, after a short while of being happy, he began to hesitate again.

"If we hire another person, what if we lose money? Besides, all the skilled people are in large state-owned factories. Who would be willing to work for one person?"

Liu's father's words silenced everyone, and finally Liu Qingshan spoke first.

"Dad, just find a young apprentice to follow you and help you move things. He can also learn some skills." Liu Qingshan came up with a solution.

"Yes, you can let the apprentice help you move the heavy things, and then you can ask him to help you clean up the store. You just need to be responsible for the repairs."

"That's great. I can find an apprentice to teach me so that I can have some fun." Father Liu finally became happy.

"As long as you are satisfied, I will find a store for you later." Liu Qingshan took the responsibility.

"We have to find one closer to home, not too far away!" said the eldest brother.

"Row!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink."

The problem was solved and everyone was happy. I drank too much wine without realizing it. At night, no one went home and just slept at home.

Liu Qingshan acted quickly. After get off work the next day, he told his brother-in-law about finding a store and asked him to keep an eye out for it.

I bought the shop over the weekend.

It was called a shop, but it was actually just the front room of a courtyard. It wasn't very big, just two rooms, less than 20 square meters in total. Liu Qingshan didn't spend much money on it.

Father Liu came over to take a look and was very satisfied.

"Dad, let's go take a look at some of the tools needed in this store and buy some of them together, shall we?" Liu Qingshan wanted to take advantage of the weekend to buy him some things so that he wouldn't have to carry them all by himself when the time comes.

"No, I can buy these things myself, I don't need you! I have to find someone to make a sign!"

Father Liu's enthusiasm was completely aroused, and he went straight to find someone to make the signboard.

Liu Qingshan was at a loss for words for a moment.

After a few days of hard work, the store was fully stocked. Liu Qingshan also pulled out a set of desks and chairs for him so that he could have a place to rest.

The repair shop's sign is also very simple, with just a few words "Home Appliance Repair". Father Liu has also found some professional books and started to learn these days.

A few days later, Liu's father's repair shop opened quietly, without any ceremony or fancy moves.

The people in the courtyard found out about it after a few days.

The second uncle and the third uncle also made an appointment to go over and take a look together.

"Old Liu, you have such a good life but you are doing all this trouble. Does Qingshan need your spending?" Yan Bugui rarely had a chance to tease Liu Yaohui, so he had to say a few words now.

"Don't talk nonsense. I fought hard to get this. The children at home didn't agree at first, but after I explained it to them, they agreed.

They also set a time for me: I have to work after 9 o'clock and cannot come in earlier. I have to leave work at 5 o'clock and cannot leave later. I have to go back home to rest for two hours at noon to eat and take a nap. "

"Then running this store is just like playing, right? You might as well not open it." The second uncle said in confusion!

"This is work, and it's also my pleasure. I can't explain it to you." Father Liu didn't get angry with the second uncle. He knew that this man said whatever he thought and was a straightforward person.

"You really know how to have fun. You spend so much money just for a little fun." The third uncle had a complicated look in his eyes, not knowing whether it was envy or pity.

"It's okay. Their family is rich. They can afford it."

"I told you two that you don't expect anything good from me. I lost money, so what good did it do to you two?"

After looking for a while, the two didn't think there was anything interesting, so they went back.

Liu Qingshan now has to talk to his old father every day after get off work, asking him if there is anything difficult to repair in the shop, so that he can give him some advice, and sometimes he can even work with him.

On this weekend, Liu Qingshan went to the store to work.

"Xiao Fang, go and get those two radios so I can take them apart and take a look." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

Xiao Fang’s full name is Chen Yufang. He was introduced by his brother-in-law Feng Lei to be an apprentice.

Xiao Fang is also from this street. His family is not well off. His father is disabled and now works as a security guard in the street welfare home. His mother is also weak and often plays while taking medicine.

Seeing that the child was quite sensible, Feng Lei introduced him to be an apprentice.

Mr. Liu was a kind-hearted man. After hearing about Xiao Fang's family situation, he immediately kept him.

But I haven't become a disciple yet, I'm just an apprentice.

"Are these these two?" Xiao Fang reached out and took the two radios.

Liu Qingshan found a screwdriver and disassembled the radio in front of the child, explaining the process to him as he did so.

It didn't take much time to repair these two radios, but the explanation took nearly an hour.

At eleven o'clock, Liu's mother brought the food over. These days, Liu's father did not go back to sleep, but lay down in the next room.

At first he went back at noon, but later he felt that this was a bit troublesome, so he bought a small bed in the next room and took a short nap on it at noon.

After Liu Qingshan finished his meal, he sat at his desk, found a small electronic clock, and started tinkering with it.

"Is the boss here? Can the TV be repaired?" A voice suddenly came from the door, and it sounded like a man of some age.

"We need to take it apart first. If it can be repaired, we will do it. But if the main components are broken, then we can't repair it!" Liu Qingshan did not take on too much responsibility. He didn't want to be too firm at this time.

"Okay, go ahead and tear it down! But be careful not to break the TV."

Liu Qingshan nodded and moved the TV to the workbench. He carefully checked the appearance before slowly disassembling it. Xiao Fang watched intently, not blinking, afraid of missing any details.

As the shell was opened, the complex circuits and parts inside were exposed. Liu Qingshan frowned slightly and took tools to test each component. The man next to him was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he kept reminding Liu Qingshan to be careful.

After some investigation, Liu Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, there's nothing serious wrong with it. It's just a capacitor that exploded. Just replace it." When the man heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Liu Qingshan skillfully replaced the capacitor and reassembled the TV. When he turned it on, the iconic snowflakes appeared on the screen. The man was so happy that he thanked him repeatedly and paid the repair fee.

Liu Qingshan didn't ask for much and only took seven dollars.

Xiao Fang's eyes were full of admiration. Liu Qingshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "In our line of work, we have to be careful and patient. You watched very carefully today. You will become more proficient if you practice more in the future." Xiao Fang nodded vigorously.
