Chapter 117 Educated Youths Going to the Countryside 7

The old man also came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, "Little girl is quite capable. This is my youngest son, Zhang Tao, let him keep an eye out for anything you want to find in the future. It's not easy for you to carry these parts, why don't you assemble them here. My house is next to it, you can go there, it's safe."

Xuanyunduo's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Thank you so much, sir. We are so embarrassed to bother you."

The old man smiled and waved his hand, "It's no big deal, Taozi, help the two girls move their things over."

Xuanyunduo thanked him again and followed Zhang Tao to move the things to the next door.

Next door was a large courtyard with five rooms, which was a bit messy. Zhang Tao smiled embarrassedly and wanted to clean up a place for them.

We are borrowing their land, so how can we have the nerve to trouble them to clean it for them? Besides, their pile of spare parts are not clean either.

Xuanyunduo moved the things to the corner behind the door and borrowed tools such as a wrench and a screwdriver from Zhang Tao.

Don't mention it, this family actually has these things that most people wouldn't prepare. Not only that, but they are quite complete.

Seeing the two were surprised, Zhang Tao explained, "I took over my father's job and looked after the gate next door. I had ideas about those bicycle parts every day, but unfortunately I didn't find the trick. I didn't repair the bicycle, but I did leave these tools behind."

After listening to Zhang Tao's words, Xuanyunduo had an idea in her mind. She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly. "Brother Zhang, do you have a way to sell it?"

Zhang Tao nodded and said, "I'm a local and I know many of my classmates and friends. Bicycles require tickets and are expensive, so not everyone can afford them. The main reason is that there are no tickets. If you don't need tickets, you won't have to worry about selling them." As he spoke, he looked up at Xuanyunduo with an inexplicable look on his face.

Xuanyunduo laughed when he heard him say that. "Brother Zhang, how about we work together? You are responsible for finding parts and selling them. I will be responsible for assembling them, and we will split the profits 50-50."

Although Zhang Tao already had this idea in his mind, he couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Xuanyunduo say this.

He agreed without hesitation. The two sides did not argue and the partnership was finalized.

Zhang Tao thought about it and mentioned the watch and sewing machine again, "Sister Xu, can you repair watches and sewing machines?"

Xuanyun nodded, "Yes. Brother Zhang, can you find these two things as well?"

Zhang Tao just asked casually, but he didn't expect Xuanyueduo to really know how to do it. He couldn't help but admire this girl who was much younger than him.

"Yes, it's in the two warehouses behind the scrapyard. I'll take you there later to see if it can be repaired."

Xuanyunduo nodded in agreement and continued to assemble the bicycle. He Fangfang helped her.

The two of them worked very efficiently and repaired both the bicycle and the radio in just one morning.

We had lunch at Zhang's house. There were only two people in the family, a father and a daughter, and neither of them could cook, so He Fangfang prepared lunch.

After dinner, Xuanyunduo followed Zhang Tao to the scrap yard to look at watches and sewing machines.

This thing is difficult to transport. We have to wait until we have accumulated a lot of it and then take it all to the machinery factory for processing.

There is a sewing machine and three watches in the scrap yard now, which is quite a lot.

Xuanyuduo checked one by one, but unfortunately, there was no replacement for the damaged parts and it could not be repaired.

However, Xuanyunduo wrote down the parts he needed and asked Zhang Tao to see if he could get them.

In the end, a repaired bicycle and a radio were left behind, and Uncle Zhang made the decision and gave Xuanyunduo half of the money first.

Xuanyunduo gave Uncle Zhang a thumbs up, which made Uncle Zhang's old face smile like a chrysanthemum.

The two parties agreed that Zhang Tao would try his best to collect materials, and when Xuanyunduo and the others were free, they would come over to assemble them.

After putting the shopping items into a backpack, Zhang Tao found a rope and helped tie it to the back seat of the bicycle.

The two of them rode their bikes to mail the letter first, and Xuanyunduo also bought some more stamps for her collection. This was something she often did, and He Fangfang didn't understand but was used to it, so she didn't say much.

Then the two of them rode their bikes back to the team.

The two men rode their bicycles much faster than the ox carts, and they arrived at Nangou Brigade in more than half an hour, but they had not yet finished work.

The two of them packed up their things and put them back in the dormitory. When no one was around, Xuanyunduo gave He Fangfang 20% ​​of the money he earned from assembling the bicycles.

This is how the two have been sharing their cooperation profits.

After that, the two of them had nothing to do, so they went to the backyard to tidy up the vegetable garden.

They are usually so exhausted from working in this vegetable garden that they have no time to tidy it up. They just pull out a handful of weeds when they come to pick vegetables.

Now the whole vegetable garden looks extremely overgrown with weeds, which have taken away all the nutrients in the vegetables, and the vegetables are not growing well.

In order to have food to eat in winter, the two of them had no choice but to weed and water the plants and take care of the vegetables.

"It's okay to work in the fields normally, but now that I finally have a chance to take a break, I have to continue weeding here. It's really unfair." He Fangfang looked at the worn gloves on her hands with a look of resentment.

What could Xuanyunduo say? She didn't want to do it either. But she had to eat vegetables in winter, right?

Fortunately, the vegetable garden was not big, and the two of them finished pulling out the weeds in no time.

Then the other educated youths came back one after another. When they were all there, everyone started to check the accounts.

Like the meat that Xuanyunduo bought today, the oil that Dou Jiakang bought, and the eggs that Yan Feng and his teammates bought a while ago.

Since we all eat these things together, the money should naturally be shared equally.

Fortunately, everyone is a decent person, and there is no one who wants to take advantage or cheat.

After counting the money, Huang Xuhua suddenly mentioned the bicycles in the yard, "When I came in just now, I saw two bicycles in the yard. Who put them here?"

He Fangfang tried to suppress the corners of her mouth and pretended to be calm and said, "That belongs to Duoduo and me."

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, with a look of disbelief on their faces. But when they thought about the fact that these two people had much more candies and cookies than others, they didn't feel that surprised anymore.

I also asked them where they bought it and how much it cost.

Xuanyunduo and the other two did not hide it and told them the truth that they could assemble it.

This time everyone really felt incredible.

Jin Miaomiao and Huang Xuhua even asked directly if one could be assembled for them.

Xuanyunduo didn't even raise his eyelids and told them that there were no spare parts and that he didn't have time as he had to work every day, but he promised to lend them the bike if they needed it.

Although everyone looked unhappy, no one said anything.

However, Xuanyunduo didn't care what they thought. She felt uncomfortable living here, and with her abilities, it would be easy for her to find a way to return to the city.

After dinner, it was getting dark, and there were not many people on the road, so Xuanyunduo took the radio and went to the captain's house with He Fangfang, leaving behind everyone with different thoughts.
