Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

When they entered the He family's house, the dishes on the table were all ready. For dinner, there was braised fish, fried cabbage and shredded potatoes, plus the leftover soup from lunch. He Yuzhu was also very cunning. He covered the soup with a lid when it was hot and has not opened it yet, for fear that someone would smell the smell. As soon as Jiang Feng entered the house, they closed the door. He Yuzhu and He Yushui were waiting for Jiang Feng. The three of them sat around the table, picked up the steamed buns and started eating.

After finishing dinner, He Yushui went to wash the dishes. The two of them poured themselves a glass of water and sat there chatting slowly. Jiang Feng also told him about his future plans. Although they would graduate by then, the street office said that martyrs' families could be arranged with jobs, but if they had skills, the jobs arranged would be technical positions. Moreover, they would have to show off in front of the factory leaders through He Yuzhu so that they could gain a firm foothold in the factory.

He Yuzhu said, "That's fine. There are not many electricians in the factory. Now the entire electrician team has only four or five people. After the public-private partnership, the steel rolling mill now has nearly ten thousand people. It's definitely not enough for such a large factory to have only a few electricians. Although I just do inspection work every day, with so many workshops and machines, it takes several hours a day to inspect. If something happens, I have to work overtime. But it's very comfortable when I have nothing to do."

"Well, I went there just for comfort. It's best to work when there's something to do and rest when there's nothing to do. It seems I made the right choice. Brother Zhuzi, are you familiar with the electricians in the factory? What level are they at?"

"We know each other. You know, my skills are so-so in the steel mill." He Yuzhu said, raising his thumb. "Everyone in the factory has eaten in my cafeteria. For example, several people in the electrician class have an easier job, so they come earlier than the workers and eat in my cafeteria every day. I heard that there is one level four, two level three and two level one. Their levels are not very high, but I heard that there is an electrician master above them. He often goes on business trips and is called an electrician technician in the factory. Anyway, I have never seen him once."

"Master, how big is it?" Jian Geng said this while making the number eight with his hand.

"I don't know. I haven't asked around. Since you have this idea, I'll find some time to ask a few people in the electrician class."

"Well, don't worry. There is still a year left. I will learn first and then take the test. It will not be too late to ask then. I have to find out what kind of personalities some of the people there are. Even if I can't do it, don't we still have Brother Zhuzi in the factory? With your skills, I don't think anyone will ask me for a job."

He Yuzhu's head almost rose to the sky after hearing Jiang Feng's flattery. He looked at Jiang Feng with his nose and said, "That's right. Don't worry when you enter the factory. If anyone dares to bully you, I will shake him to death with my spoon."

"Not really, not really. I believe that no one would be blind. But Brother Zhuzi, you have to be careful in the factory. The workers are all big brothers now. Don't give them a chance to eat. If the workers don't have enough food, they will cause trouble."

"No, you haven't offended me. I would never do such a thing. It's not like there's no food at home. I don't even bring leftovers now. The leftovers from the factory are not even as good as the ones at home. Who would I bring them back for?" He Yuzhu looked at Jiang Feng and retorted.

Jiang Feng saw He Yuzhu saying this, and it should be true. He never brought a lunch box, and the family had meat at least once a day. What's the point of keeping the big pot of food? It's better to share it with the people in the kitchen. Jiang Feng said to He Yuzhu seriously, "By the way, you have to win over your subordinates. As the chef, you will definitely have the final say, but if you have the opportunity in the future, it is not impossible to move up a level. You are still young now, and I guess the higher-ups won't consider you if there is a vacancy. It will take at least three to five years."

"I haven't thought about that. I'm just thinking about cooking well. I'll take the exam someday and raise my level."

"You should take the exam. Although the highest level in the factory is only level five, you can take the exam through Uncle Guo. With a higher level and better skills, the leaders in the factory will value you more. Then I can also benefit from it."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he had completely forgotten what had just happened. At home, I have to rely on you. At the factory, I still have some face as the chef. However, when I think about the time being, it is still early. At least I have to wait until Jiang Feng comes to the factory before I can start. It feels a bit boring.

"Got it. When you are about to graduate, I will find a leader to talk to. Don't worry. If you want to learn electrician, then study hard. If there is anything you don't understand, I can also ask the electrician class in the factory to come out for dinner and let them give you some pointers."

At this point, Jiang Feng stopped talking. There was no need to make it so obvious. The factory matters would take another year to deal with, and the matters in the yard would have to wait for an opportunity. He would see when he could talk to the aunt about it.

He Yushui washed the dishes and walked in. She watched her two brothers talking about something without saying anything. Now that the family had no worries about food and drink and her two brothers were so nice to her, she didn't care about anything happening in the courtyard. The only thing now was to go to school. It would be best if she could get into university.

The two chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to sleep. The whole compound slowly became quiet again, except for the children in the house who were still making noises, such as not doing their holiday homework and the sounds of being beaten. It must be said that since Jia Zhang returned to the countryside, Banggeng has done his homework well and even made less noise during meals. As long as Jia Dongxu is at home, Banggeng dare not learn from his grandmother to throw a tantrum.

By the next day, Jiang Feng's headache was gone. He got up, washed, cooked and ate. Today was Monday and everyone had to go to work. However, after a while, there were basically only some old men and women left in the yard. The monotonous life was repeated every day.

Jiang Feng said to He Yushui: "What are your plans for today? If you want to go out to play, just let me know. If not, just read a book at home. If you go out to play, remember to come back for lunch at noon."

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, "It's too hot. I don't want to go out. Cousin, can we go downstairs and buy some soda later?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go get a few bottles and put them in the water tank. You can drink them at noon. Remember not to take them out. Just drink them at home."

When He Yushui heard that there was soda to drink, she nodded her head continuously. Jiang Feng touched her head, turned around and walked out of the yard. He Yushui ran back to her room to read a book. It was only eight or nine o'clock and she was already feeling hot. Jiang Feng thought about it and decided to push his bicycle to the scrap collection station. Now that he had electrical knowledge, he could buy some broken things he saw at the scrap collection station and try to repair them. Although he was not a repair professional, he could get a few more machines to make do. If there was no problem with the wiring, he could also try it. He always had to have something to practice on.

After riding for about ten minutes, he arrived at the scrap collection station. Jiang Feng parked his bike outside the door and walked in. An old man guarding the door stopped him and said, "Hey, young man, what are you doing here?" Mainly, everyone who comes here is selling scrap. When the old man saw that Jiang Feng had nothing in his hands, he became alert.

Jiang Feng walked up to him, took out a pack of cigarettes, smoked one, and handed it to the old man before saying, "Uncle, I'm here to take a look. I'm short of something at home. Don't you think it's expensive over there? I'm here to try and find something useful. I can fix it at home."

The old man was well-informed. Seeing that the man's clothes were clean and he didn't look like someone who would cause trouble, he advised, "There are very few good things here. Families are not doing well these days. Basically, things are sent here when they are too old to be repaired. If they can be used and repaired, they are usually kept by the family for their own use."

Jiang Feng smiled at the old man and stuffed a pack of cigarettes into his hand. "Hey, thank you, old man. I just want to try my luck. I don't necessarily have to buy anything. I'll go in and take a look. I'll get back to you if I find something suitable."

The old man looked at a pack of Daqianmen on the table, his smile crooked, and said to Jiang Feng: "Go ahead, go ahead. You look like an honest kid. When you find a place to sleep, come find me. I'll say hello to them and I can give you a discount."

"Hey, thank you, sir. What's your name?"

"Oh, your surname is Huang, if you are worthy, just call me Mr. Huang."

"That won't work, Mr. Huang. Thank you. I'll go in and take a look first."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he walked inside and looked around. There were piles of waste, tables and chairs, paper-shell books, and all kinds of things. Jiang Feng looked left and right until a young man inside saw him walking around and ran up to him and asked, "Comrade, what do you do? Go over there if you want to buy anything." After saying that, he pointed over there.

Jiang Feng looked over there and said to the visitor, "I was planning to buy something. Mr. Huang asked me to come in and take a look. I wanted to ask where the radios and other things that were collected here are kept."

"It was Uncle Huang who asked you to come. The things are over there. They are all scraps and basically useless."

"I want to go take a look, and if I find something suitable I'll buy it. I think I can get a ticket here."

"Yes, you can open it, but basically no one buys these, and they can't be used after buying them."

The two talked as they walked and came to the place where electronic products were placed. In this era, there were relatively few electronic products, and there didn't seem to be many here. But they were lucky enough to see an electric fan there. It was all dirty and no one knew how long it had been there.

Jiang Feng walked forward to take a look. There were probably less than ten radios and only one fan. He felt a little unsure. His original plan was to recycle the waste and repair the problem by robbing Peter to repair Paul. There was only one fan, and if the components were broken, he would have nowhere to find them. The radios were still okay, so he could just buy a few more at once and replace them.

Jiang Feng said to the young man, "Comrade, can I take a look here, just look at these things?"

"Look, they are all waste anyway. I'm right over there. Just call me when you see them."

Jiang Feng put on gloves and walked forward to check several radios. None of them were taken apart, so he couldn't tell what was wrong with them. He also picked up the electric fan and took a look. He didn't see any obvious signs of burning, so he felt a little relieved that at least the motor was not broken. He took a few newer-looking radios and the electric fan in his hands and walked towards the place that the man had just pointed.
