The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

A few minutes later, Chen Bing and Liang Zhixiang arrived one after another. Under the watchful eye of Station Master Wang, they quickly got into their roles, picked up the broom and dustpan and started cleaning together.

Then splash the ground with clean water. In winter, it means the same thing. Don't splash too much water to avoid slipping.

Water represents cleanliness and holiness, and there are many details in Chinese customs, such as the Water Splashing Festival, the water gate when the plane lands, the three baths when the baby is born, the water splashing ceremony at the wedding, and the rushing water of ethnic minorities.

In the ceremony to welcome distinguished guests, water is also poured on the ground to express respect.

The ancient saying of "splashing the streets with clean water and paving the roads with loess" is a noble etiquette.

Stationmaster Wang looked at the much cleaner courtyard and then at the garbage dump, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Liang, go and tidy up there."

The two had no choice but to walk towards the stacking point with a grimace.

Under the guidance of stationmaster Wang, Li Yuan arranged eight brand-new bicycles neatly outside the warehouse.

Under the sunlight, the color shines, and it seems to be brighter and more eye-catching than those big brand car paints.

At that time, Li Yuan found a suitable ratio. Instead of using a brush to paint directly, he found a gasoline spray gun and replaced the gasoline with the prepared paint.

Tried it, it works very well.

The paint is sprayed evenly with no traces of paint, making it look natural, beautiful and professional.

Over the weekend, the paint on 8 bicycles had dried, and they were just ready to be displayed today.

Because we didn’t decide whether or when we would come, everyone at the purchasing station was busy with their own affairs.

Li Yuan continued to work on bicycle assembly. After a while, Liang Zhixiang also hurried over and took over Li Yuan's work.

"Brother Liang, there are not enough components. Why don't you disassemble the remaining bicycles first? Instead, you assemble them and I repair them.

Now Li Yuan is slowly showing off his fitter skills. The welds are getting straighter and flatter. His use of files is even more superb, and the polished parts are smooth and smooth.

"Chen Bing, please wipe the office again." Stationmaster Wang's roar came from outside.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and without even thinking, they knew that Chen Bing was probably sunbathing under the window sill. Today is a special day, so Webmaster Wang scolded him loudly.

After 9 o'clock in the morning, the work at the purchasing station gradually increased, and even stationmaster Wang had to do it himself. Now Li Yuan is the only one left in the warehouse.

The brand-new bicycles immediately attracted inquiries from collectives or individuals who were selling scraps.

In the end, I had to find two large rainsheets to cover all the bikes.

Stationmaster Wang has been in a bad mood today. He also wonders why there are so many people selling scrap products today, and the cleaning work in the morning was in vain.

At about 10:, a GAZ car screeched to a stop in the courtyard of the purchasing station. Stationmaster Wang hurriedly asked Chen Bing to greet Li Yuan.

Liang Zhixiang is still busy bearing the weight of the last guest.

When Li Yuan went out, he saw Director Wang and three strangers on the street. He knew that these might be people from the head office.

He ran into the house very foolishly, poured some hot water, added cold water, ran out, and poured the water on the ground with his hands.

Webmaster Wang explained in real time, "I have been busy all morning and the ground is a bit messy."

One of them, a middle-aged man in his 50s, pointed at Webmaster Wang with a smile, "Every little slicker has learned to do this."

But judging from his expression, he didn't seem angry.

Director Wang gave Li Yuan an approving look, but did not say hello to him.

"Let's go, let me see the surprise you said," the middle-aged man said cheerfully.

"Director Luo, Tian Ke, Xiao Ma, Director Wang, come with me," he said, leading with his hands, and walked towards the place where the bicycles were parked.

Li Yuan walked a few steps quickly. When Chen Bing saw Li Yuan's movements, he quickly jogged a few steps and lifted up the rain cover with Li Yuan.

"Ah!" Several people exclaimed in unison.

Director Luo's face became serious, "Xiao Wang, you didn't assemble it with new parts, did you? Look at the condition, it's even newer than new."

Stationmaster Wang continued to smile as he took a bicycle pushed over by Li Yuan.

“Leaders, look at this, are there any obvious unevenness, because this is a welded seam? Also, it needs to be a little thicker here, that is to reinforce the frame;

And these places have all been restored.”

Several leaders all squatted down, observed carefully, and touched them with their hands from time to time. Director Luo also walked to other bicycles and observed them one by one. There are more and more smiles on my face.

"Xiao Wang, it's really been repaired. It seems that there is a hidden dragon and tiger hiding here, and there is actually a fitter master hiding there. Come on, take me to see you."

Stationmaster Wang pulled Li Yuan over, the pride and smile on his face kept occupying the position, "Here, he is the fitter master mentioned by the leader."

"Ah!" Everyone looked in disbelief. After a while, everyone knew that this was not a joke.

"Little comrade, where did you learn fitter technology?" Director Luo was very interested. Director Wang from the street had a complex expression, with worry and relief.

"I graduated from junior high school. I have never formally studied fitter. I just like to think about it. I have been interested in machinery and electronics since I was very young. When I was in junior high school, I was even more obsessed with the principles of transformers.

My parents also support me, so I like to tinker around at home and can be said to be a hobbyist.

Most of the people in the compound where I live are employees of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, and there are two level 2 workers in the compound. I like to listen to their chats. When they repair things at home, I even like to squat next to them and observe.

After going back and forth, I have gained some foundations.

This time, I just thought it was a pity to leave the bicycle there, so I thought of disassembling some useful parts, which is also a way of turning waste into treasure.

During the disassembly, I found that the structure of the bicycle was not very complicated, so I kept it in mind.

Later, I heard from the station manager that it would be better if the disassembled parts could be assembled into bicycles, and then the contribution to the country would be greater and more direct.

So I just thought about it, and the webmaster also helped prepare tools.

From the initial stumbling, to now I am barely able to get started, and it took only half a month to assemble 8 bicycles. But the leaders can rest assured that the quality will not be bad.”

Director Wang of the subdistrict was relieved to see that Li Yuan could talk freely in front of the leaders.

When Stationmaster Wang heard Li Yuan keep mentioning him, he felt so happy that he wanted to shout. When the various buying stations hold meetings, he will be able to show off his power in front of those bastards.

"Let me tell you, some bicycle repairs look like they were gnawed by dogs, but some are handled very skillfully. This fully shows that you, a little comrade, have a very strong understanding. Not bad, not bad."

Li Yuan hurriedly pretended to be frightened and said, "Boss, um, um, you've given me the reward."

Li Yuan's behavior made people around him laugh.

Uncle Song looked at Li Yuan's performance and nodded lightly.

"No, where did you get the special car paint?" Director Luo suddenly thought of something.
