The place Shen Lin rented was a family area of a factory.
After dinner, in the courtyard of the family area, people who had worked hard all day were holding big teapots and chatting about the Dragon Gate Formation.
Seeing Shen Lin, many people showed indifference on their faces, but some people showed a hint of smile towards Shen Lin.
Shen Lin paid no attention to these. He quickly followed his memory and came to a dilapidated bungalow.
The house is not big, but it is very lively inside now. Four or five young guys are playing cards under the dim light.
Although each of them was shirtless and sweating, their expressions were full of excitement.
"Haha, Brother Shen is here." Seeing Shen Lin come in, a stocky young man who was playing cards greeted him with a smile.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for two days. Do you miss everyone?"
The young man raised the cards in his hand and said, "Brother Shen, come and play a few games."
"Guangzi, you better fight, I'll come and take a look."
"Brother Shen, there is a new small restaurant opened on the street. I heard that the food is really good. Brother Shen will take us to have a meal someday?"
The speaker was another young man playing cards. Although this man was young, his whole person exuded a shrewd energy.
Shen Lin glanced at the young man twice, and countless memories came to his mind. In two years, this young man will be in jail for burglary.
When Shen Lin saw him again, he was completely useless.
"Having a meal is no small matter," Shen Lin waved his hand and said, "I, Shen Lin, keep my word. Let's go have a meal next Sunday."
Shen Lin's promise on this matter was very much in line with his previous style.
Hearing what Shen Lin said, several young men were very happy. Only the stocky young man Guangzi frowned.
"Brother Shen, don't listen to Qiangzi's nonsense. You have no salary now and your family is supported by your sister-in-law. If you want to eat, it's our turn to treat you." Guangzi said solemnly.
The shrewd young man known as Qiangzi frowned and scolded Guangzi directly: "Guangzi, do you look down on Brother Shen when you talk like this?"
"Let me tell you, who is Brother Shen? He used to be the director of our factory. Can your family compare?"
When Shen Lin listened to Qiangzi's words, he curled his lips inwardly, thinking that this guy was still the same as before, he loved to take advantage.
But when he came, he had already made up his mind. At this time, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, what's the point of arguing about this little thing? It's just a meal!"
"My brother, this bickering makes people laugh."
A trace of helplessness flashed across Guangzi's face. He felt that Shen Lin was good at everything, but he was so flattered that he didn't know what to do.
Since they are brothers, we can't always take advantage of him!
"Qiangzi, I came to the brothers this time to ask you for a favor." Shen Lin said with a smile, "Brothers, you won't want to help, right?"
Several young men were stunned for a moment. They looked at Shen Lin in surprise, wondering what happened to Brother Shen?
In the past, he was omnipotent and never asked me for help.
"Brother Shen, you don't want us to help you deal with the white-eyed wolf, do you? I can tell you that now is the period of severe punishment. If we beat him, we..." Qiangzi said with some flinch.
"Guangzi, where are you thinking? Even if I want to deal with the white-eyed wolf, I can't cheat our brothers." Shen Lin said calmly: "We have good shoes and don't step in mud, so we don't have time to talk to him!"
When Qiangzi heard that it was not a group fight, he immediately became energetic. He patted his chest and said, "Brother Shen, if you have any plans, just tell me and I will definitely make it happen for you."
"Okay, Qiangzi, please be cool. Aren't you following your dad in the machine repair shop? Are there any scrapped motorcycle engines there?"
Qiangzi immediately frowned at the scrapped motorcycle engine. Although it existed, it was not easy to get it out! Not to mention giving it to Shen Lin for nothing, he was a little reluctant to part with it.
"Why, isn't it hard to find it?" Shen Lin saw that Qiangzi was trying to evade, so he asked.
Qiangzi faced the gazes one after another and knew that he couldn't shirk it at this time, otherwise others would think he wasn't a brother enough.
"Brother, what you are talking about is going to be a mountain of fire. I, Guangn, must do my best! I can't get you a good engine, and it will be useless if you take it apart. That won't be a problem for you brother!"
After Qiangzi slapped his chest and signed the guarantee, he felt a little unsure in his heart. It seemed that he couldn't handle this matter by himself, and his father had to take action.
"Qiangzi is so happy." Shen Lin patted Guangzi on the shoulder, then looked at Guangzi and said, "Brother, doesn't your hardware factory have a lot of waste? I want you to help me weld a shelf. Are there any difficulties?"
"No, tell me the dimensions of the shelf and I'll make it for you." Photon agreed happily without hesitation.
Shen Lin was not surprised by Guangzi's generosity. This was not only due to his personality, but also because in those days, it was completely normal to use items from the factory to process small items for his own home.
Moreover, there are many young factory workers who, because their wages are too low, rely on others to do small businesses with leftover materials, and they will also be let off with a blind eye.
Gears, bearings, oil tanks...
Shen Lin made arrangements for each of these young buddies based on their abilities. After everyone agreed, Shen Lin said with a smile: "I'm tinkering with something myself, and when it's ready, I'll treat everyone to a good drink. "
Qiangzi felt a pang of pain when he thought about the old engine he had taken on. Although he could do it by himself, giving Shen Lin an old engine for no reason made him feel uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.
"Brother Shen, this is what you said. When the time comes, you can't keep your word. We will have to buy at least two bottles of wine worth more than 50 cents."
The wine costing more than 50 cents was already very good at that time. Shen Lin thought of the gasoline tricycle he had already arranged, and immediately said with a smile: "Fifty cents? You look down on me too much. Laojiao, who earns at least one yuan, must of!"
Shen Lin's boldness naturally attracted a chorus of responses. Guangzi's voice was the loudest: "Brother Shen is so bold, so we can't keep Brother Shen waiting. Don't worry, we promise to give you everything within three days." You solved it."
After finishing the matter, Shen Lin did not stay long. After saying a few words, he left the small room.
After Shen Lin left, Qiangzi couldn't help but muttered: "Why is Brother Shen so different from before? In the past, he never asked us to do anything when he treated guests. What's going on today?"
Everyone who was playing cards stopped at this time. If Qiangzi hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have felt anything strange. Now that Qiangzi said this, they also felt that this Shen Lin seemed to be really different from before. .
"What are you thinking about? Brother Shen just asked us to help him with something. If there is any difficulty, we have always eaten from other people's food before."
It was Guangzi who spoke, and he said in a rough voice: "If you ask me, we shouldn't let Brother Shen treat us again. He has been fired from the factory now. Wouldn't it be too unkind for us to let him spend money again! "
Everyone stopped talking. Only Qiangzi said angrily: "Shen Lin is willing to invite me. What does it have to do with you, Guangzi?"
"Let me remind you, stop pretending to be a good person here. Aren't you just a dog trying to meddle in other people's business?"
Looking at the vicious Qiangzi, Guangzi snorted and said, "Why, you still want to fight? Let me tell you, I'm really not afraid of you!"
Seeing that the two got angry, everyone who was playing cards quickly pulled the two away, but the lively card court suddenly became quiet.
Shen Lin opened the door and saw Lu Xiaorong flipping through an old book under the dim light. He immediately said: "The light is too dim. If you want to read, just turn on the big light in the room."
Lu Xiaorong looked up and saw Shen Lin, feeling a little happy.
Although she was reading, she kept thinking about her mother's words in her heart. Shen Lin had not been working for two days before he went to find his friends again. Is there any need to continue to live the life between the two of them?
The word divorce kept flashing through her mind. But every time she made up her mind to get a divorce, what came to her mind was the scene of Shen Lin pulling a car under the scorching sun today.
"Why are you back?" Seeing the sudden return of Shen Lin, Lu Xiaorong asked in surprise.
"I'll be back when the matter is done." As Shen Lin spoke, he took two broken radios and opened one back cover with a screwdriver.
Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Lin's skillful movements and had an idea for no reason. If Shen Lin worked hard and repaired the radio, he wouldn't starve to death.
But she didn't say anything and just continued reading.
Under the dim light, Shen Lin repaired the radio, and Lu Xiaorong read quietly. This situation made Lu Xiaorong feel very happy.
Just when she was about to speak, she suddenly felt an overwhelming feeling welling up in her stomach, and she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from spitting it out.
At this moment, a tingling sound came from the radio that was being repaired. Lu Xiaorong looked up and saw Shen Lin, who was extremely serious. Under Lu Xiaorong's gaze, the sound of the radio slowly sounded. It slowly turned into a beautiful singing voice.
Another radio was repaired by Shen Lin.
