Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

While removing the door of the box, Brother Lin explained to everyone: "Your sister wanted to install a lock on her box and asked me to help improve the door. So I agreed to do the modification work on the spot. It's that simple."

Due to the lack of necessary tools, Lin Xiangdong had to return home to get them.

"What? Your sister wants to lock the trunk door?" Shada looked at He Yuting in shock and asked.

Aunt Li, Mrs. Qin, Uncle Yi, Mrs. Jia and Xiao Zhao were all surprised. "Why do we need to lock our things?" Everyone asked.

"Yuting lost a 5-cent bill, so I want to lock her box. There's nothing wrong with that."

"This is not a good influence." "What are you talking about? The money in the house has been stolen, so why do you care about the negative impact?"

After a moment of astonishment, Han Da immediately opposed He Yuting's proposal to lock the door.

"Then if you don't want to lock it, you should lock the door of the house." Yu Ting said calmly.

"Yu...Yu...Yuting!" The silly brother was so angry that he could hardly continue speaking.

"No problem! Our hospital will be nominated for the Excellent Residential Hospital next year, so we definitely can't lock all the doors!" Uncle Yi immediately spoke out to stop them. However, in the face of He Yuting's firm attitude, even Han Da's strong opposition could not change the situation.

A locked house will cause dissatisfaction among others. After all, if a door is locked, there will be no hope for their community to be rated as excellent in the next year. However, adding a lock to a personal cabinet is completely a personal choice.

He Yu was unable to lock her silly brother's cupboard, but at least she could protect her own wardrobe.

After returning home, Lin Xiangdong mentioned this matter to Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e could also understand He Yu's feelings.

Although only fifty cents was lost, it was not worth mentioning to Lou Xiao'e; however, it was a serious negligence for someone to dare to break into He Yu's home and steal property.

Lin Xiangdong brought tools from home to modify He Yu's cabinet door.

The heavy solid cabinet door is difficult to move with one hand.

Lin Xiangdong assisted He Yu in completing the improvement project of the locker, which attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhang and many neighbors gathered to chat.

"Sister Yu is just straightforward."

"Brother Lin's woodworking is really first-rate, on par with the master craftsman at Baihua Huyi."

"The closet in my room could also use a padlock."

"I'll have to trouble Brother Lin to modify our wardrobe later."

While this group of aunts were talking, Lin Xiangdong had already successfully modified the cabinet doors.

Lin Xiangdong's meticulous design not only gives the cabinet doors a locking function, but also adds to their beauty.

He Yu, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Brother Lin, how much is the salary?"

"Since you call me brother, please don't be polite." Lin Xiangdong replied with a smile.

Even if they charged a fee, it would probably only be a few cents, so Lin Xiangdong generously said that there was no need to pay.

Upon learning that no compensation was required, He Yu expressed his gratitude again.

Then He Yu happily took the wardrobe back to install the lock.

After installing it, she looked for a suitable keyhole.

After putting the valuables in the closet and locking it, He Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the wardrobe was originally lockable, it lost this function due to damage over time.

Even if his silly brother didn't steal his money, He Yu was thinking about how to repair the wardrobe.

This time, because her property was stolen, she asked Lin Xiangdong to help deal with it immediately.

He Yu was now filled with joy, but Brother Sha Zhu was not happy.

Although she did not install a chain on the door, locking the closet in the bedroom made Sha Zhu unhappy.

Even though the cabinet was locked, Sha Zhu didn't say anything more.

...

"I'm really asking for trouble this time!" Lin Xiangdong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After helping He Yu to modify the door panels for free, several aunties came to him for requests. Some asked him to repair the stools, while others asked him to adjust the dining table.

Since he didn't charge a penny for helping He Yu before, does he have to charge for helping them now?

The narrow-minded Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, and the ungrateful Xiao Banggeng might have some complaints about this.

However, Lin Xiangdong was not too worried. With his family background, social reputation and job as a projectionist, as long as he did not make any major deviations, there was nothing to worry about.

After sending away these aunts, Lin Xiangdong glanced at his backyard, but saw that the deaf old lady did not appear and did not say a word for He Yu.

As soon as Lin Xiangdong stepped into the factory gate and parked his bicycle, two people approached him.

"Chief Nie?" Lin Xiangdong was a little surprised.

One of the visitors was Section Chief Nie from the Security Department, and the other was a stranger he had never met before.

"Xiangdong, I'm looking for you this time because I hope I can ask you for a favor." said Section Chief Nie.

Lin Xiangdong smiled and said, "You are so polite." But he became alert in his heart.

It is not easy to hear the word "request" from the mouth of this man named Nie.

Although he didn't want to offend the other party, he didn't dare to agree easily.

"This is my nephew Nie Aimin. He has just been in the factory for a few days. He is a high school graduate. He is very interested in showing movies. I wonder if you could give him some guidance?"

In this era, the academic qualifications of high school graduates are still very valuable. Even if they are not as good as those from college, it is easier to find good job opportunities after graduation.

After glancing at Nie Aimin, Lin Xiangdong said nothing more.

Normally speaking, as a high school student and the nephew of Section Chief Nie, he should be a little arrogant, but we can't generalize.

He didn't yet understand Nie Aimin's character, and it would be awkward if he rashly accepted him as his disciple.

However, since Section Chief Nie took the initiative to speak, it would obviously be inappropriate to refuse directly.

After all, this Section Chief named Nie is the head of the Security Department and has considerable power in the factory.

It is wise to avoid conflicts with them as much as possible.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xiangdong decided to agree temporarily.

In this era, is there ever a situation where a master is bullied by a **?

If Nie Aimin has poor character, we can find an appropriate reason to exclude him.

According to traditional rules, apprentices need to run errands and do odd jobs in their first years, give gifts to their masters on festivals every year, and some even have to take on the task of caring for their masters in their old age.

Just like Yi Zhonghai, he could have adopted a child, or his disciples, but no one was willing to take on this important task. This also shows that he may be lacking in his life management.

In other words, in Yi Zhonghai's mind, perhaps only Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are more important.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai also believes that Lin Xiangdong is a person worthy of investment.

When Nie Aimin saw Lin Xiangdong nodded in agreement, a smile broke out on his face.

Although today's ceremony of accepting a disciple is not as complicated as in the past, where one must kneel and kowtow, offering a cigarette or serving tea to the teacher is still a necessary etiquette.

Nie Aimin took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

When Lin Xiangdong saw the cigarette Nie Aimin took out, a light flashed in his eyes.

It’s amazing, it’s the precious Panda brand, this cigarette is so good!

Only occasionally at his father-in-law's house could he taste this kind of elegant flavor and delicate smoke.

Just like a rare animal like the panda, this cigarette is definitely a treasure among cigarettes.

Even Lou Zhenhua praised the Panda brand highly.

After all, in the department store, Panda cigarettes are charged by the stick.

"Master, please smoke."

Director Nie handed Lin Xiangdong one and took out a match to light it for him.

And Lin Xiangdong was not polite either.

Then, after a brief conversation with Lin Xiangdong, Director Nie left and went to the Security Department.

When Lin Xiangdong showed up at the Propaganda Department with his new apprentice Nie Aimin, all his colleagues were surprised.

"Xiangdong, you have also received a disciple?"

“This kid looks very energetic.”

In fact, many people in the factory were eager to become Lin Xiangdong's students, but Lin Xiangdong was never in a hurry. Unexpectedly, a new apprentice appeared now.

Although Nie Aimin has an ordinary appearance and a slightly dark complexion, he gives people a sense of being down-to-earth and reliable. He does not look like an intellectual, but more like a farmer.

But Lin Xiangdong did not hide Nie Aimin's identity - he couldn't hide it anyway.

After everyone knew that he was Director Nie's nephew, the voices of discussion gradually subsided.

Unless the factory arranges a designated candidate, it is entirely up to Lin Xiangdong to decide who to accept as an apprentice.

Even if Director Nie proposed it, Lin Xiangdong could refuse, but he had no reason to do so.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Xiangdong accepted the first bowl of tea presented by Nie Aimin.

……

Xu Damao, a cleaner of the public toilet in the factory, also learned the news.

When he heard the news that Lin Xiangdong had accepted a new apprentice, the nephew of Director Nie from the Security Department, he felt extremely bad.

Because before that, Xu Damao had always been a projection technician in the factory, and Lin Xiangdong was just an apprentice fitter at that time.

However, Xu Damao encountered bad luck and forgot his work skills.

If it was Lin Xiangdong who caused the trouble, that would be impossible, after all, the latter is just an ordinary person.

So we can only say that it was Xu Damao's own bad luck.

Unwilling to continue cleaning toilets forever, he began to re-learn projection techniques, but they were still not enough to restore his identity.

No matter what, Xu Damao must regain his position as a projectionist next year.

……

The morning passed quickly.

With the help of an apprentice, Lin Xiangdong's work became much easier and he could direct the apprentice to do things when necessary.

As for the professor of projection technology, he was not in a hurry. Generally speaking, according to the rules, Nie Aimin would be asked to run errands and do odd jobs for at least three years. Even if he was treated a little more kindly, he would have to do similar work for at least half a year.

Because Nie Aimin had received high school education, writing articles or designing slogans were not a big problem for him.

Lin Xiangdong spent most of the morning killing time.

At noon, Lin Xiangdong put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the enamel kettle and drank a cup of tea, then stood up and walked towards the cafeteria with two food boxes.

Seeing that Nie Aimin was still busy, Lin Xiangdong signaled him to stop for a while.

"I'll finish this last bit in a while, and then we'll have our meal," Nie Aimin said with a smile.
