Chapter 243 [Yan Bugui's second-hand electric fan burned out the distribution box (4k chapters)
the next day.
Yan Bugui spread the news throughout the compound that he had purchased an electric fan, and also bought two small basins in front of his house.
In this era, he only dared to ask for his own son's money. If other people in the compound wanted to come to his house to cool off, they could only give them peanuts or cornmeal.
Yan Bugui stood at the door with a smile, waiting for someone to come and deliver food to him.
"Uncle Yan, I heard that your family bought an electric fan."
"I'll come over and take a look!"
The first person to come to the door was Xu Damao.
During this time, Xu Damao was so hot that he was boiling over. Qin Jingru, that damn bitch, has been clamoring for an electric fan for the past two days.
If he doesn't buy that damn bitch, he'll talk about having a baby all day long.
Xu Damao was so annoyed that he had no choice but to come to Yan Bugui to take a look.
"Da Mao, come in and hand over some peanuts!"
Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile full of cunning calculations.
"No, I just went in to take a look!"
"He'll be out in three minutes!"
Xu Damao knew what this old guy Yan Bugui was doing blocking the door here.
He just wanted to see what the one he bought looked like and whether it was cool or not.
"Then you have to pay peanuts too!"
Yan Bugui knows that the rules cannot be broken. Once the rules are broken, everyone will be like Xu Damao. How can he continue his business?
"OK!"
"How many peanuts does it cost in one day?"
Xu Damao asked impatiently.
He was really fed up with this scheming Yan Laoxi, who was just as hateful as Liu Jiacheng.
"One tael of peanuts or two taels of cornmeal a day." Yan Bugui smiled and pushed up the glasses that were about to slip off the bridge of his nose.
"OK!"
"I'll go and blow for three minutes and give you three peanuts."
Xu Damao knew who Yan Bugui was, and he had been prepared for it.
He immediately took out three peanuts from his pocket and swaggered in.
"Second-hand?"
Xu Damao thought Yan Bugui had bought a new one, but he didn't expect that it was also a second-hand one like the bicycle.
But it’s right to think about it!
Where can I get an electric fan ticket?
Even if he really wanted to buy it, he would probably have to go to the second-hand market!
"Xu Damao, do you want to brag or not?"
Yan Bugui suddenly became unhappy.
As soon as Xu Damao came in, he said that his electric fan was second-hand.
He originally didn't want to do the business of Xu Damao's three peanuts. These three peanuts were not enough for him to turn on the electric fan.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the first order and he wanted to get a good deal, he would have kicked Xu Damao out by now.
"Blow!"
"Open it for me quickly, I'm going to die from the heat."
With a clicking sound, the electric fan started spinning rapidly.
Three minutes passed quickly!
After the experience, Xu Damao left without saying a word.
After Xu Damao left, there were also a few curious babies who were interested in electric fans.
They either exchange peanuts or cornmeal for a day of enjoyment here in Yanbugui.
Seeing these peanuts and cornmeal, Yan Bugui smiled from ear to ear.
"Lao Yan, what are you doing here?"
"Didn't you do the funeral for the deaf old lady that the neighborhood office ordered?"
Yi Zhonghai has been busy since early morning.
But apart from him, there was only Qin Huairu who helped him two or three times.
Other than that, there was no one to help.
"What are you busy with?"
"The old deaf lady has been cremated. What else is there to do now?"
After everyone finished speaking, they continued to enjoy the coolness brought by the electric fan.
"Of course I'm offering my condolences to the deaf old lady. Are you just going to let the deaf old lady lie there like this?" Yi Zhonghai said angrily.
"Condolences are your business!"
"The deaf old lady never regarded us as her own sons, nor did she give us a peanut."
"If you feel lonely, go and call Silly Zhu over."
Everyone ridiculed Yi Zhonghai.
At this time, they felt that Liu Jiacheng was right again.
The deaf old lady has nothing to do with them, why should they care about such an old lady's affairs.
The fact that I could be responsible for burying her after three days was all because of the matters assigned by the street office.
They have to do it!
"You..." Yi Zhonghai's lips turned blue in anger.
Why are there so many white-eyed wolves in this compound who don’t respect the elderly?
"Lao Yi, if you have nothing to do, please leave."
"Blowing the wind here means harvesting peanuts. You have been standing here for a while."
Yan Bugui immediately issued an expulsion order to Yi Zhonghai.
It doesn't matter if Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to spend money, but don't delay his making a fortune.
"Aren't you afraid that no one will care for you in the future?"
After Yi Zhonghai said these words, he left in a hurry.
People who ignore the elderly in this way may be abandoned by their own children in the future.
"We are not worried at all when we have a son, but you should be worried."
"That's right! I don't have any children, so I just want to rely on others to provide for him in his old age?"
"I really think too much!"
"It is impossible for such a sanctimonious person to be supported in his old age by anyone in the future."
"..."
Everyone was blowing electric fans while cursing Yi Zhonghai.
It was fine at first, but as the sun got higher and higher, more and more people were sitting in the room...
"Lao Yan, your electric fan doesn't work!"
"Yes! All the hot air blowing out is not cool at all."
"This is far worse than Liu Jiacheng's electric fan!"
"That's right! Your second-hand electric fan is buzzing and the sound is so loud. The one Liu Jiacheng has is not only louder, but also quieter, and the wind it blows is cooler than yours."
"..."
The temperature in the room was getting higher and higher, and everyone began to complain.
"Are you guys going to brag about it anymore?"
"I don't like the loud sound and the low wind. It would be nice to have some blowing now."
Yan Bugui's smiling expression changed instantly.
The most unpleasant thing for him to hear now is that his electric fan is second-hand.
"Yan Bugui, why are you talking?"
"We've given you the peanuts and cornmeal."
"You have to keep us cool!"
"That's right! Otherwise, our peanuts and cornmeal would be in vain."
"..."
Everyone was dissatisfied with Yan Bugui's attitude, and even more dissatisfied with the temperature in the room.
At this moment, a person who had just gone to the toilet hurried over: "Everyone, come out quickly. It's not as cool in this room as under the old locust tree outside the courtyard."
When everyone heard this: "Really?"
But no one answered them because the man had run away.
When everyone saw it, they all ran out...
really!
It's cooler outside!
When everyone came to their senses, their first reaction was to go to Yan Bugui to get their cornmeal or peanuts back.
"What do you want to do?"
Yan Bugui hugged his two small basins tightly, and he had already realized that something was wrong from the looks on these people's faces.
"Of course we want our things back!" everyone said.
"You have already put it in the basin, and it is mine. How can you take it back now?"
Yan Bugui held the two basins tightly and refused to let go.
He had just imagined that if he could do this every day, then after this summer, his family would be able to eat cornmeal until autumn.
"We've only been playing for a long time, why do you want me to have two taels of cornmeal?"
"Yes! Give it back to us!"
"If you don't return it, I will smash your electric fan."
"I'll go to the street office and sue you!"
"..."
Compared with the harmonious scene just now where we were sitting in the same room with an electric fan blowing on, it now looks much uglier.
After some debate, Yan Bugui had no choice but to compromise.
He was not afraid of these people smashing his electric fan.
If you smash it, you can give him a new one!
He was mainly afraid that the street office would pursue the matter.
Finally, Yan Bugui returned half of the cornmeal or peanuts to everyone and the matter was settled.
"You don't want to blow the wind, but there are many people who are willing. Just don't regret it when the time comes."
After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he angrily turned off the electric fan.
Now that they are the only family at home, how can this old calculator be willing to sit in the room and blow the electric fan?
…
Dinner time.
With a snap, the entire compound instantly became pitch black.
"There's a power outage!"
"What's going on?"
Every household in the compound took out kerosene lamps and lit them, and everyone gathered around the compound to discuss the cause of the power outage.
At this moment, the comrade from the sub-district office who was responsible for patrolling the streets happened to pass by and walked in after seeing the power outage in the compound.
"What's wrong with your compound? Why don't you turn on the lights?" a comrade from the street office asked after he came in.
"Comrade, there is a power outage in our compound, can you help us fix it?"
The person who stood up this time was not Liu Haizhong.
But Yi Zhonghai!
Liu Haizhong has been depressed for the past two days since he knew that he had no chance to become an uncle again, and he didn't want to care about the affairs of the compound.
The whole person is in a state of complete ruin!
"Uncle Li went back to his hometown today, why don't we wait until tomorrow."
The Uncle Li mentioned by the comrades from the sub-district office is naturally the electrician in charge of this street.
"Didn't Uncle Li say it would take several days to come back?"
A person from the courtyard who had a good relationship with Uncle Li stood up.
The comrade from the sub-district office slapped his head, "I almost forgot what you said, why don't I think of a solution for you until tomorrow."
Just as the sub-district office was about to turn around and leave, they bumped into Liu Jiacheng.
"Comrade Liu Jiacheng, where have you been?"
The female comrade who took the lead from the sub-district office took the initiative to go up and say hello.
"I went outside and looked at the power distribution box."
"Already burned!"
After the power outage, Liu Jiacheng turned off the main switch and went outside to check.
Although he was a fitter by training, he has learned a lot about electricians since becoming a technician's assistant and joining the locomotive construction team.
Now I can confirm that it is indeed burned!
"Comrade Liu Jiacheng, you know how to do electrician stuff."
Comrades from the sub-district office were surprised and happy.
I admire Liu Jiacheng even more!
"I know a little bit," Liu Jiacheng said.
"Everyone should learn from Comrade Liu Jiacheng."
"Look at people!"
"While we were in a daze here, Comrade Liu Jiacheng had already repaired the power distribution box."
When the comrades from the sub-district office came up, they praised me.
No wonder Liu Jiacheng was able to become an eighth-level fitter in such a short period of time, no wonder he was able to become a technician's assistant later, and no wonder he was able to join the locomotive construction team.
There is a reason for all this...
"Comrade, I... haven't fixed it yet!"
Liu Jiachengdu was embarrassed by the compliments from the comrades from the street office.
He wanted to fix it, but there was nothing he could do.
"Comrade Jiacheng, are you in some trouble?"
"It's okay! Our street office can stay and help you."
Comrades from the street office are actually a little embarrassed.
It seems that Liu Jiacheng did not say that he had repaired the power distribution box just now.
"It's not that it's troublesome, it's just that it can't be repaired."
"This power distribution box is completely burned out and there is no possibility of repair."
When everyone in the courtyard heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Is the power distribution box directly burned out?
In this era of tight supplies, even a power distribution box is not immediately available.
It takes many days to apply!
It seems they can only use kerosene lamps during this period.
Originally, this matter was considered over here!
But at this time Yan Jiefang jumped out immediately!
"It must be Liu Jiacheng!"
"His home uses the most electricity, including electric fans and radios. He must have used too much electricity to cause this distribution box to burn."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was focused on Liu Jiacheng.
"Yes, it must be him!"
"There is nothing using electricity in our house except light bulbs."
"Make him pay!"
Jia Zhang also followed behind and barked.
Although the others didn't say anything, they already acquiesced in this statement in their hearts.
After all, the combined electricity consumption of the people in this compound is not as much as that of Liu Jiacheng's family. Many people only have one flashlight at home, and it still uses batteries.
The only place in the house that uses electricity is the light bulb!
"Shut up, everyone!"
"You are not allowed to slander your own comrades without evidence."
"Have you forgotten what Comrade Liu Jiacheng helped you repair your electricity just now?"
Although the sub-district office does not know whether Liu Jiacheng is responsible for this, as the sub-district office he cannot encourage this unhealthy trend.
The horoscopes haven’t been written yet, so let’s set the rhythm here!
"Comrade, it's okay!"
"I'm used to it!"
He went to see the power distribution box not because of the beasts in the compound, but simply because he wanted to turn on the electric fan.
However, he was not surprised at all by Jia Zhang's beastly behavior.
If these people thanked him, they would actually make him feel panicked.
Liu Jiacheng took two steps forward, looked at Yan Jiecheng and sneered: "You should really learn from your father with your pig brain."
"Liu Jiacheng, what do you mean?"
"Is it okay to curse people here in front of the street office?"
Yan Jiecheng shouted at the top of his voice, because this would make him feel confident.
"The reason why you bit me was because you felt guilty."
"Don't bring it upon yourself!"
"The reason why this distribution box was burned out is because your home was damaged."
Liu Jiacheng had just seen that the wire in Yan Bugui's house was scorched black at the connection point of the power distribution box.
The situation is obviously that the power distribution box was damaged by his arrogant operation!
