Although Lu Xiaorong didn't take a closer look just now, he knew that this radio was broken!
It is not easy to repair a broken radio. Even in specialized repair departments, there are only a handful of masters who can repair radios.
Although he was full of curiosity about Shen Lin repairing the radio, in the end, Lu Xiaorong returned to the bedroom silently, lying on the bed quietly, thinking about Shen Lin's changes.
Outside the bedroom, Shen Lin screwed on the last screw of the radio and couldn't help but stretch. Although he was in his twenties and his physical fitness had improved a lot compared to his previous life, he was still a little tired after a busy day. Already.
Not to mention the radio repair just now was even more taxing.
sleep!
Instinctively, Shen Lin wanted to walk into the room where Lu Xiaorong was sleeping, but according to his memory, he and Lu Xiaorong had slept separately just a few days ago. If he suddenly broke in at this time, he would probably bring him to the house just now. My goodwill was ruined.
More importantly, Lu Xiaorong is pregnant and cannot get her excited now.
With some reluctance, Shen Lin returned to the bedroom where he slept. Just when he was about to lie on the bed and plan his future life, he did not expect that he would fall asleep in just a few minutes.
"Sweet honey, your smile is so sweet.
It's like flowers blooming in the spring breeze.
Blooming in the spring breeze..."
The melodious singing suddenly woke up the sleeping Shen Lin from his sleep. He subconsciously opened his eyes and looked around.
Old-fashioned wooden bed, high and low cabinets, patterned wires...
It was still the house he remembered from his previous life. He was not dreaming, he really went back to the past.
Gently pushing the door open, Shen Lin came to Lu Xiaorong's room. Lu Xiaorong was sleeping soundly. Her body was curled up, as if she was resisting something...
Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong's sleeping posture. His thin body looked clumsy, like a newly hatched chick. This image made him feel a little heartbroken. But he knew that at this time, haste makes waste. , his most important thing is to let Lu Xiaorong take good care of his health.
Finding Lu Xiaorong's Plum Blossom watch on the table, Shen Lin saw that the hour hand was pointing to six o'clock, and walked quietly to the kitchen.
In addition to some rice in the kitchen, there are only the leftover steamed buns from yesterday. How can this be done?
For the sake of his unborn child, he had to find ways to increase nutrition for Lu Xiaorong.
Putting the remaining five dollars and twenty cents in his pocket, Shen Lin prepared to walk towards the morning market according to his memories of his previous life.
But thinking of the morning market, Shen Lin hugged the radio he repaired yesterday.
The morning market is a small street to the left of Shen Lin's house. I don't know when a market has been formed here. Not only are there farmers selling their own vegetables, chickens and ducks, but there are also some selling old items.
Shen Lin originally planned to sell this repaired radio, but what he lacks most now is capital!
When he walked out of the family's courtyard, Shen Lin met several neighbors who were walking in a hurry. These neighbors looked at Shen Lin coming over with a radio and ignored them all.
To them, this guy who was fired from the factory and drinks and beats his wife all day long is totally unacceptable to them.
Shen Lin didn't care about the cold treatment of his neighbors. He was holding the radio and wondering how much he should sell it for.
The morning market is bustling with people coming and going. You basically don’t need a ticket to buy things here, but some products that are in short supply are much more expensive than in the store.
"Don't miss it when you pass by. The nylon socks imported from Guangzhou are more stylish when worn by young men, and beautiful when worn by girls!"
"Dress, wholesale dress from Shanghai, five yuan a piece!"
"Hot spicy soup, delicious spicy hot soup, only 15 cents a bowl..."
Various hawking sounds filled the morning market. Shen Lin walked around from south to north, found a place, put the radio on the ground and said: "Radio, who wants a radio? A radio imported from abroad." , good sound quality, only 20 yuan!”
Shen Lin's shout attracted a lot of attention.
Although radios have entered more and more households, the price of twenty yuan still attracts many people.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and was wearing a yellow shirt looked at Shen Lin for a few times at the huge radio and said, "Young man, can your radio ring?"
"Uncle, don't worry, the sound quality of this radio is excellent." As Shen Lin spoke, he turned on the switch, and a burst of melodious singing began.
"The sunset over the western mountains and the red clouds are flying,..."
The clear sound quality suddenly attracted the attention of many people. Some people stared at the English letters on the radio and said: "It is imported from abroad. The sound quality is better than the new ones we bought at home."
"Sounds good, but a little old."
Shen Lin patted the radio and said, "My radio is quite old, but I just hired a master to repair it. According to the master, there will be no problems with this radio within four to five years."
"Whoever likes it can take away twenty yuan. After passing this village, there will be no store like this!"
The middle-aged man in his forties looked at the radio carefully, his expression full of hesitation.
He has always wanted to buy a radio, but new radios are a bit expensive, and one costs him one month's salary.
The current one, from the appearance point of view, is not worse than the new radio, but it is only half the price of the new radio.
Although it was a bit old, the sound quality of this radio was the best he had ever heard.
"Young man, I'll buy it for fifteen yuan!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Shen Lin looked at the middle-aged man who looked like he was in pain and knew that this was someone who wanted to buy. He immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, I can see that you are still very discerning and tasteful. So be it. , let’s give it a fixed price, seventeen, if you think it’s okay, take it; if not, you can try it again.”
Although Seventeen cost two yuan more, it was still acceptable for a middle-aged man. He fiddled with the radio and tried to tune a few stations, and found that the sound quality of most stations was very pure and extremely high. Penetrating, it sounds like the sounds of nature.
This discovery made the middle-aged man fall in love with it even more.
"Young man, you are an old thing. What if I take it home and it stops ringing?" The middle-aged man was about to pay, but hesitated again.
Shen Lin didn't know what the middle-aged man was worried about, so he said happily: "Uncle, I live in the courtyard of a hardware factory not far from here. Within this year, as long as it is not damaged by man, I will repair it for you."
"If it is damaged by man, I will only charge one part for repair."
Hearing what Shen Lin said was so honest and he really liked this radio in his heart, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll buy it."
A worker, peasant, and soldier note, a five-yuan note, and two red one-dollar bills soon fell into Shen Lin's hands.
Shen Lin was very happy when he touched the workers, peasants and soldiers who had hard work. This second-hand radio earned him the money he had worked so hard for yesterday. If he had received an old TV, then...
With money in hand, Shen Lin became more confident. He walked around the morning market and bought a few kilograms of millet and two sesame cakes in addition to five kilograms of eggs.
But what disappointed Shen Lin was that he couldn't find the soldering iron he expected. He only bought a few screwdrivers at a hardware stall.
When she got home, Lu Xiaorong was already awake and making breakfast. She looked at Shen Lin who was carrying a large bag of things and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you from?"
"I bought it at the morning market." Shen Lin raised the eggs in his hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's boil three eggs later, two for you and one for me."
Looking at the eggs that Shen Lin was carrying in a wicker basket, Lu Xiaorong felt a little sad. He had just eaten fish, and eating eggs again was such a waste.
Shen Lin is still as greedy as ever!
But good food is good, and now Shen Lin is using his own money. This makes Lu Xiaorong want to say something, but he can't.
Shen Lin didn't wait for Lu Xiaorong to speak, then picked up the eggs and prepared to wash them and boil them.
"You...did you spend all the money you earned yesterday?" Lu Xiaorong hesitated for a moment, but still asked this question.
Shen Lin earned eleven yuan yesterday and gave five yuan to the landlord. Plus these things now, there should be nothing left.
Shen Lin, who was about to put the washed eggs into the pot to cook, heard Lu Xiaorong ask and said casually: "No, I still have less than twenty yuan now. The radio I bought yesterday cost me seventeen yuan." ."
The radio is sold!
Lu Xiaorong felt distressed in her heart. The radio played the night at the military port yesterday. The song was ethereal and full, which made her feel very comfortable.
"How much did you pay for the radio?"
"Fifty cents, those people in the electronics classroom don't know how to repair, and they've wasted a good thing! Wife, do you know where I can buy soldering irons?" Shen Lin put down the pot and asked casually.
After Shen Lin repaired something worth fifty cents, he earned seventeen yuan. This...
"Let me ask you, by the way, when will you repair the radio?" Lu Xiaorong couldn't help but asked curiously.
She and Shen Lin have been married for half a year. She has experienced Shen Lin's family's rise from prosperity to the present decline. She has been extremely disappointed with her man, but she never expected that he could repair electrical appliances.
"I loved thinking about this when I was a kid, and I'll naturally get it after thinking about it a lot." Shen Lin had already prepared for this, so he answered normally.
Boiled eggs, egg drop noodle soup, a few yellow noodle steamed buns, and a plate of pickles. Although it is light, it is very delicious.
Although Shen Lin was determined to increase nutrition for Lu Xiaorong, he also needed money. Now he wanted to break every penny in half and spend it. What's more, it would take more to increase nutrition for Lu Xiaorong and the child in her belly. Come step by step.
"What are you going to do today?" Lu Xiaorong finally picked up the eggs at Shen Lin's insistence.
Shen Lin ate the eggs very slowly, not because he was reluctant, but because he was afraid that if he swallowed it in one gulp, Lu Xiaorong would force the eggs in her hand to him.
"Collecting old newspapers." Shen Lin did not hide his plans. He smiled and said: "If today goes well, maybe I can collect one or two old electrical appliances."
Lu Xiaorong looked at this sunny and confident man, and his heart moved inexplicably. Is this still the same stranger? Yesterday, he only knew how to drink and beat himself!
After hesitating for a while, Lu Xiaorong finally said: "Scavenging rags is not a long-term solution. You... you'd better find a temporary job."
"I know, I can only do this picking up rags for half a month at most!" Shen Lin had his own plan, and he didn't hide it from Lu Xiaorong.
While talking, Shen Lin took out another five dollars and handed it to Lu Xiaorong: "You can keep these five dollars first so that I don't lose them."
Looking at the money handed over by Shen Lin, Lu Xiaorong was in a daze.
Just when she was about to say something, a nauseating feeling suddenly surged out of her stomach. Lu Xiaorong quickly covered her mouth and ran towards the kitchen sink.
Lu Xiaorong, who retched twice but didn't spit anything out, rinsed his mouth with cold water and walked out.
Shen Lin felt that Lu Xiaorong's reaction was normal. After all, Lu Xiaorong was pregnant now. However, Lu Xiaorong himself did not know about this situation.
Should he directly tell Lu Xiaorong that she was pregnant? Shen Lin hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell her for the time being.
After all, he and Lu Xiaorong were almost on the verge of divorce at the moment. If he told Lu Xiaorong this matter all at once, Lu Xiaorong might have crazy thoughts.
It would be better for him to change slowly, and Lu Xiaorong slowly discovered the pregnancy.
My child, for you, dad can only do this.
Having made up his mind, Shen Lin asked Lu Xiaorong, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, maybe what I ate yesterday was a little greasy." Lu Xiaorong picked up the eggs again and said.
After breakfast, Lu Xiaorong went to work. Shen Lin did not go out immediately, but after tidying up the house, he borrowed a flatbed truck from Aunt Chen and walked towards another factory he had planned.
When they just left the house, many people saw Shen Lin pulling the cart. Some said hello, while others just glanced at Shen Lin and then looked elsewhere.
Shen Lin didn't care about these things. After rebirth, how could he have time to care about the contemptuous looks of these people? What he wanted was to let himself and his family live a good life.
Spending thirty cents, Shen Lin bought Ximei cigarettes, and then strode into the office area of the factory.
At this moment, Lu Xiaorong had an additional notice in his hand.
A notification for her to go to the workshop for exercise!
