Author: Purple March

Chapter 12 Assembling the Fan

The wind blows and the flowers settle, time leaves its light footprints, and the beauty of the past slowly fades away.

In the blink of an eye, midsummer has arrived. After the junior high school graduation certificate and high school admission letter were distributed, his uncle took him to the high school.

After reading the admission notice, work certificate, and the reputation of Director Wang's father-in-law, the school agreed to let him register as a student at the school. He would not come to school normally, but he must be there during exams.

The most important thing is that you must pass the high school graduation exam to get a diploma.

He has not fallen behind at work. Through this period of study and the help of Angkor, he has been able to complete various purchasing tasks independently.

Starting from this month, he also has the amount he needs to purchase every month.

Today was a rare break. He came to the moat to fish, and only then discovered the flow of time when he heard the croaking of frogs.

I still remember that when I went fishing for the first time, the tadpoles in the river were still densely packed little black particles, but now they have turned into a jumping frog.

Suddenly, a frog jumps out of the water plants on the river bank, stops, croaks twice, and then jumps away from you.

After entering July, the weather this year has been particularly hot. For example, today the sky is clear, there is no cloud in the sky, and the sun is shining brightly on the earth.

Occasionally, a little wind blows, but it brings a gust of hot wind, which blows on people, making the heat even more uncomfortable.

In this season, people are all looking forward to a rain, but it never comes.

The weather is too hot, and the house is even more stuffy. A scene will appear in the courtyard at night. As soon as they finish eating, every household will move their chairs and bamboo beds to the shade at the door, holding a big fan to enjoy the coolness at the door.

Until the moonlight shrouds the earth and there is dew, they will go back to their rooms to sleep one after another.

He couldn't bear the heat in the house today, so he chose to go fishing.

It was relatively cool by the moat, so he found a shade and unfolded the deck chair under the tree. In order to bring this deck chair, he specially rode his uncle's bicycle today. In addition, he also brought a large bucket.

There are also many fishermen on the shore. They are lying on chairs and watching the wind blow over the water, bringing a slight coolness. They put the fishing rods with bait on them and put them into the water, and then cover their heads with hats.

He gradually fell asleep and finally woke up after a long time. He raised the fishing rod in his hand and found that the bait was gone.

I looked at the time, it was already noon, it was time to go home.

Take out a few big fish from the system space, put them into a bucket, hang the bucket on the handlebar, tie the recliner to the back seat, sit astride the bicycle, push hard, and the vehicle starts to move quickly.

Fortunately, thanks to the sign-in system for more than a month, his body has been recuperated and he has been replenishing his body with food that is rich in oil and water, and his health has improved a lot.

Otherwise, with the quality and height of today's bicycles, he might not be able to ride them, let alone ride them from home to the moat.

The car was very convenient, and he also thought about buying a bicycle, but he couldn't get the tickets for the time being, at least not on the surface.

Of course, he wants a fan more than a bicycle ticket.

He really couldn't figure out how to spend the summer without a fan.

After thinking about it for a long time, I walked to the car repair shop and saw the single tire, and suddenly I had a new idea.

Maybe there is no need to buy a new one, he can assemble one by himself, and the same method can be used for bicycles.

Thinking of this, he rode quickly, returned home, and unloaded the fish and the deck chair from the car.

The fish was put into the large water tank at the door. This was the former peace tank of the courtyard house, used to hold water and prevent fires.

It had not been used for a long time, and it had accumulated a lot of rainwater and attracted a lot of mosquitoes. So a few days ago, while he was off work, several cousins ​​helped him clean out the tank and put in new water, which happened to be used today.

After cleaning up, I took a few mouthfuls of lunch and went to find the carpenter whose name was on the street.

Fan blades were easy to make, so he looked for them. In less than an hour, the carpenter made five fan blades of the same size and slightly curved according to his requirements.

The fan frame and base are also made of wood.

He paid the master and asked the master to help him make a similar one and pack one for his aunt.

For other parts, he planned to go to the scrap station to take a look and buy them.

Speaking of scrapyards, this is the best choice for people who have been reborn through time to make a fortune. It has been so long since he was reincarnated and he has never been there.

I didn't know if he had that kind of luck, so with the idea of ​​trying his luck, he went to the largest scrap yard near his home.

"What are you doing?" Seeing him stop at the door for a while, an old man stood up.

"Comrade, I want to find some better newspapers to use to build the wall." This is a universal reason learned from many protagonists who have been reincarnated and time traveled.

"Go in, the newspaper is to the east," the old man had a good temper and enthusiastically pointed the direction to him.

Seeing a room full of newspapers and other books, he also wanted to find the treasure, and then he started flipping through them one by one.

I found several newspapers from January to now this year, which were still very new, and then I continued to scroll down, and I also found the ones from last year.

In fact, what he wanted to find most was all newspapers from October 1, 1949 to the present.

I found newspapers from other years one after another and looked through them, but I couldn't find them all.

He would pay more attention another day. He wanted to see if he could collect a copy of all the newspapers from the founding of the People's Republic of China to before him.

Seeing that he couldn't turn it over anymore, Zhang Yu got up and went to other rooms to look for other things.

It's not a special period yet, so there are really only scraps in the scrapyard.

However, he still found an electric motor, which was removed from a rusty iron lump.

He took a look and found that the wiring inside was no longer usable. After returning, he would replace the wiring, polish it smooth, and apply lubricant.

In addition, he also received a bicycle frame. Although it was full of rust, he knocked on it and found it was still strong.

"Uncle, can you calculate how much it costs?"

Seeing that he had brought out so many, the old man smoked his pipe and began to weigh himself.

"Newspaper is 5 cents a pound, a total of 16 pounds, 80 cents; iron is 35 cents a pound, a total of 26 pounds here, 9 yuan 1. That gadget is 50 cents, a total of 10 yuan and 4 cents."

I paid quickly, looked at the pile of things, and bought two better pieces of wood. I asked the old man for some rope, fixed the pieces of wood on the back seat of the car, and then put the bundled newspapers on top.

After the newspapers are laid flat and bundled, a car rack is placed on top.

On the way, he picked up the finished fan parts and bought tools for grinding and assembly. As for the ones he didn't buy, thanks to his sign-in one morning, he got a universal tool box.

The tool box is a large one cubic meter box with a full range of tools.

The places where things can be hung on the big 28 bar are all full, so I can’t ride on it anymore, so I have to push it all the way back.

Along the way, everyone kept looking at him like a monkey. Fortunately, he was a famous person in the neighborhood, so no one went to the police to arrest him.

In this way, I encountered several inquiries along the way, and by the end Zhang Yu could no longer keep the smile on his face.

When you get home, put the newspapers aside and find someone to make a bookshelf another day. You can organize it when you have time.

Repair the motor, assemble the fan, take out the insulating tape from the universal tool box, connect the wires, and test them with an electric pen before you dare to plug in the power strip.

Pressing the switch, the fan started turning, and a stream of cool wind blew away the sweat on my face.

Unfortunately, the conditions are limited, the fan cannot move its head, and it only has one gear.

Because it was assembled at the door, many neighbors’ eyes almost popped out when they saw the finished product assembled by Zhang Yu.

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
