Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

The next day, Jiang Feng opened his eyes. It was another sunny morning. As soon as he opened the door, the cool morning air blew in. Jiang Feng stretched, closed the door and went to the toilet outside. People in the yard also got up one after another, but they didn't look very energetic. Last night, there were ghosts howling in the backyard until very late. The people in the backyard and the middle yard suffered greatly. At night, they were talking about the electric fan that Jiang Feng brought home. They couldn't control themselves while talking about it. They sweated again at night, so it was understandable that they were not energetic in the morning.

Jiang Feng repeated his daily morning routine, cooking and eating, but today He Yushui got up only after He Yuzhu left. With the electric fan, the weather was cooler and his sleep improved. After breakfast, Jiang Feng went to the ear room to get the electric fan and moved it to the front yard. He Yushui followed him in, went into the house to take a look, then ran back to get a chair and a book, and sat down to read where the fan could reach.

Jiang Feng sat at the table and picked up the two remaining radios. He felt uneasy, determined not to end up with the same three radios he had taken down yesterday.

I gritted my teeth, picked up the screwdriver, and started today's "work".

After dismantling the first one, opening the back cover, and cleaning the inside with a brush, Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he did not see any obvious signs of burning. He picked up the meter and tried the wires one by one, but there was no problem and they were all connected. Jiang Feng was puzzled, so he cleaned it inside and out. He pulled the power strip in and turned on the switch, but there was no sound. Jiang Feng fiddled with it for a long time and finally used a multimeter to measure that there was a problem with the current in one of the lines on the circuit board. After checking, he found that a resistor was burned out and the electron tube was also broken.

After Jiang Feng found out the problem, he became excited. He quickly took out the three radios he had disassembled yesterday afternoon, found resistors and tubes of the same model, took out the soldering iron, and replaced them. After Jiang Feng finished, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to get up and move around, but he was startled by He Yushui who was standing next to him.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you standing here silently? Go read your book."

He Yushui stood here when Jiang Feng took out three radios to replace the resistors. Seeing Jiang Feng busy and happy, He Yushui's heart was lifted up. It seemed like there was hope. He waited until Jiang Feng finished changing. He was also scared by Jiang Feng, but he still patted his chest and said, "Cousin, how is it, is it okay?"

"I don't know yet. We need to turn on the electricity and see. Please stay away."

Jiang Feng picked up the brush again and cleaned the inside again. He closed the back cover, connected the power supply, and after turning on the switch, he heard the "buzzing" sound of the speaker inside. Jiang Feng pulled out the antenna and started to tune the channel. After a while, he heard a voice from inside: China National Radio, now telling you the time, it is 10 o'clock in the morning.

He Yushui jumped up and said to Jiang Feng, "Try again, try again, there is still the radio station."

Jiang Feng also slowly adjusted the knob, and only two stations could be heard. Nowadays, all radios are tube radios that can listen to shortwave, and there are not many stations that can be listened to. However, with such a successful example, Jiang Feng and He Yushui couldn't stop smiling. The key is that it is cheap, only 25 yuan. Now a radio outside costs more than yuan, and you need a ticket.

Jiang Feng disconnected the power supply, closed the back cover of the radio, screwed it in, wiped the surface with a damp cloth, and brushed it slowly. After cleaning it, it looked about 30% to 40% new. After Jiang Feng finished installing this radio, he began to dislike it. As a otaku in later generations, his home is full of electronic equipment, but these two radios are big and bulky, which is really not a good fit.

He picked up the radio and handed it to He Yushui: "Take it and listen to it. Don't disturb me. There is another one."

He Yushui took the radio, put it on the cabinet beside, plugged in the power, turned on the switch, sat there and listened. After a while, a voice came from inside: Let's row our oars, and let the boat push away the waves...

He Yushui sat there and sang along with the sound of the radio. Jiang Feng had already disassembled the second radio and found that it had the same problem as the previous three. There was no way to repair it. He simply cleaned it up and put it in a pile next to it.

Turning around, he saw He Yushui singing and making gestures with her hands. He couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the time and said to He Yushui, "Let's move all the things over there so we don't have to run back and forth every day. I'll move the table over there later and do it there every day."

After listening to this, He Yushui nodded repeatedly. These things were placed in the dining area. Every day, he would eat while enjoying the fan and listening to the radio. In the past, such a life was unimaginable.

Jiang Feng ran several times before he moved all the things over. He Yushui then took a radio. When the people in the yard saw the radio, they came forward to ask questions. He Yushui followed a few aunties and told them that it was his cousin who repaired it.

After moving all the things, Jiang Feng looked at the time and went to cook. He Yuzhu wouldn't be back at noon, so he just made some noodles. After a while, Jiang Feng fried a few eggs for the sauce, cut some cucumber shreds, and put a handful of noodles in the pot. When the noodles were cooked, Jiang Feng took two large bowls, picked up the noodles, and each had half of the sauce and cucumber shreds, and took the bowls out.

The two were eating noodles when they heard someone knocking on the door. Jiang Feng went to open the door and saw Huang Ming standing outside. He said in surprise, "Uncle Huang, why are you here now? Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I just got off work and came to ask you something."

"Okay, then come in quickly. We're having noodles for lunch today. I'll go get another bowl and we'll talk while we eat."

Huang Ming walked in and felt a cool breeze blowing towards him. At this time, He Yushui saw the person coming and stood up and called out, "Uncle Huang."

"Hey, good rain, wow, where did you get the electric fan and radio? It's much cooler inside."

"Uncle Huang, I'm not a child anymore. I know what I'm telling you."

Jiang Feng looked at He Yushui who was eager to show off, and said to Huang Ming: "Uncle Huang, please wait a moment."

Jiang Feng turned around and went back to the kitchen. Here, He Yushui pulled Huang Ming aside and told him that his cousin went shopping yesterday morning and repaired the electric fan in the afternoon. He also repaired a radio this morning. He also told Huang Ming about several old men coming last night. Huang Ming nodded. Although he was angry at the behavior of the old men, he didn't say anything. He had seen a lot of such things working in the street. It wasn't just one or two households that couldn't stand others living well. Moreover, this courtyard was managed by another person in the street, so it was not easy for him to interfere.

After a while, Jiang Feng came out with a big bowl of noodles. Huang Ming took it, looked at the eggs in the bowl, took the bowl, and started eating.

Several people ate noodles in the breeze and still sweated profusely. However, the feeling was different with the electric fan. Usually, without an electric fan, they would put the noodles in the pot and leave them there, and then eat them when they were almost cool. Otherwise, they would not only be hot, but also burn their mouths.

Jiang Feng had finished eating long ago. He took a few bottles of soda and put them on the table. After Huang Ming finished eating, he handed them to him, took out a cigarette and handed one to him, then lit one himself. He was a heavy smoker in his previous life, but now he really can't get used to smoking with a mouthful of tobacco. Most of the cigarettes don't have filters, so he smokes less often.

The two lit up their cigarettes and took a sip of soda before Huang Ming spoke up, "Xiao Feng, your food standard is beyond the living standards of most people, even better than my family's. You must not do anything wrong. If you get caught and ask me to bail you out, that would be a disgrace to the old squad leader."

"Uncle Huang, don't worry. I have money. Brother Zhuzi also makes more than 50 a month. I have more than enough money to eat. It's just that I don't have enough tickets. I can go to the pigeon market to buy some. I have never been to the black market."

Huang Ming also knew that supplies were tight, but there were always people who had money but no tickets. Those who had tickets but no money could only go to Pigeon City to find someone to exchange them. The leaders above knew about this, and unless they were on a mission or reported by others, they would turn a blind eye. They couldn't let people starve to death with the money.

Huang Ming stretched out his hand and nodded at Jiang Feng, skipping the topic, and pointed at the electric fan and said, "What He Yushui said is true, did you really fix this?"

"Yes, maybe I'm just a bit more talented. I read books at home for more than ten days and thought it was okay, so I went to the scrap yard. I was planning to buy a radio, mainly to get familiar with the circuit. I was also lucky. This thing was sold as scrap metal, so I picked it up at a discount and only spent 30 yuan. But when I came back to clean it, I found that a small part inside was broken. I took it apart from the radio and found a similar one to install, and it worked fine."

Jiang Feng's words were reserved. Coil winding should be something that only mid- to high-level electricians can do, and the book he borrowed now is only for beginners. He also knew that Uncle Huang just wanted an excuse and would not ask any questions.

"That's good. It's okay if it's legitimate. Don't take yesterday's incident to heart. I'll go back and talk to Director Li. She's the one who's in charge here."

"It's okay. Those old men just have nothing to do. Everyone saw me when I came back from shopping. The whole yard was talking about it. They just didn't believe it. I don't bother to pay attention to them. I just live my own life."

Huang Ming nodded: "Just think like this, live your own life, if there is any injustice, or if you are bullied, come to me. Although I don't manage this hospital, I can ask Sister Wang to manage it. I just don't know if this Li knows the truth or is deceived by the boss below."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something to talk to you about today. Did you go fishing on the 8th of this month and rescue someone in Shichahai?"

"Yes, a little boy choked and I helped him get the food out. What happened? Did something happen?"

"They couldn't find you, so they asked someone at the fishing spot and found out your name. They found out about our street, so I came to ask you if you really saved the person."

"Yes, yes, I was watching from the side. My cousin was so awesome. He went up and hugged the kid, and in just a few seconds the big date pit was spat out." He Yushui was finally able to get a word in, and he spoke excitedly while gesturing.

"Don't listen to Yu Shui, it's not that exaggerated. It's just a date pit the size of your little finger. I saved it." After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he gestured with the tip of his little finger with his right hand.
