Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

"During this period of time, I will select some people to be my apprentices. Who they will be depends on your performance. Maybe if I am happy, I can accept everyone as my apprentices."

After saying that, Li Feng assembled the intact parts from several damaged bicycles together, and during the assembly process, he also performed oiling maintenance.

After assembling, Li Feng said, "You've seen it all, right? Isn't it simple?"

"This bicycle is made up of four cars. The purchase price of the four cars is about 20 yuan. Now this one can be sold for at least 80 yuan. I have made 60 yuan in such a short time. Is this a good rate of earning money?"

After saying that, Li Feng rode his bike around the yard a few times.

He stopped and said, "If this car is cleaned up, it can be sold for an extra five dollars. If it is repainted, it will be more expensive."

"I am here to show you the process of repairing a car, so I didn't clean it up. Before you start assembling it, make sure to clean every part. You can easily earn these five dollars."

"You don't have to worry about spray painting for now, because it is still quite difficult for you. I will teach you after you become proficient in it."

"Okay, now it's your turn to perform. If you forgot anything, you can take a look at the bike I repaired for comparison."

"There are six of you. Now divide into three groups of two. We will see which of you three groups performs the best."

Time flies. More than a month has passed and we are about to enter December, and the weather is getting colder.

In the rental house, Ding Fengqin drew circles on Li Feng's chest and said, "Stinky brother, I still want a child."

"Ah? No, what would you say if your belly got bigger?"

"Then I don't care. I just want to have another child."

"I don't object to this. If you want, you can have as many children as you want. The key is that you are single now and suddenly you get pregnant. Not only will you be criticized on the street, but you will also be gossiped by your neighbors!"

"Let's work out a good solution for this matter first!"

"Well, let's talk about it later." Ding Fengqin didn't necessarily want a child, she just wanted an attitude.

"By the way, little brother, you have repaired more than 200 bicycles in this month, but why haven't you repaired a single radio?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Eat your rice one bite at a time. Be careful not to chew too much."

"Yeah, I think Xiaomei and the others are already very capable, how about I find a few people to come over and help them?"

"It's faster this way."

"No, I find you are becoming more and more like a capitalist."

"Humph, what's wrong with me? I just want to save more dowry for our son. Besides, you took the lion's share. How dare you blame me?"

Li Feng…….

"No, am I wronged? I haven't seen a penny so far, why are you embarrassed to say it?"

Ding Fengqin lifted the quilt, took her bag, took out a newspaper package from it and handed it to Li Feng.

"what?"

"You'll know if you open it and take a look."

“Isn’t this money?”

"Wow, it's really the front!"

Li Feng looked at the six stacks of banknotes and said, "This is, 6?"

"Yes, that's 6. It's all for you."

"Why give me so much?"

"It's not much. This is what you deserve, minus the costs and expenses, and the share between the six of them. We each get half."

"Okay, since you said so, I'll take it."

"Heh, man."

"Ahem, what are you talking about? I prepared a gift, but now I can't give it away."

"No, stinky brother, you must have heard it wrong, where is my gift?"

"Here, be careful, don't break it."

Ding Fengqin couldn't wait to open it and asked, "Is this a pearl necklace?"

"Well, does it look good?"

"It looks good, but I can't take it out with me, right?"

"That can't be helped. Not only can you not take this with you, you can't take the gold and silver with you either."

"That's right! If I repair hundreds of bicycles this month, will you give me a gift?"

"Gifts are fine, but they don't have to be so expensive. This necklace must be worth more than a thousand dollars now. If it were in the heyday, it would be worth hundreds of thousands."

"Oh, this is too expensive, isn't it? I can't have it."

"You're telling me this?"

"It's not that I'm a stinky brother, it's just that I'm too expensive."

"What's so expensive? In my heart, this necklace is not even worth one of your fingernails. Keep it. Maybe you can take it out later."

"There is one more thing. I won't repair bicycles for the time being. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's not suitable to work outside. In the next period of time, I plan to teach them how to repair radios."

"This way they can stay warm in the house and won't suffer."

"Well, you are so thoughtful, brother. No wonder you didn't repair the radio before. It turns out you were waiting here!"

"Oh, brother, there is one more thing. That is food. The food supply of the thieves' sect is running out again!"

Li Feng frowned and said, "Haven't we cleared out more than half of the people?"

"Well, this is a long story. To put it simply, these children have started working, so they naturally eat more."

"Also, Uncle Fu has taken in some more children!"

"No way? It's winter now, are there still people fleeing famine?"

"That's not the case! These half-grown children were also among those who escaped from the famine."

"Fengqin, you'd better be careful. You deal with bicycles, collect waste, and pick up junk. I don't know how many people are watching you. Be careful that there may be spies from other forces among you."

"You said that the Xiaodao Gang had some friction with you recently. Who knows, there might be one of their people in there, as well as the Eight Generals of the Thousand Gates. These scammers can do anything! You should be careful too."

Li Feng thought for a moment, took out a dagger from his clothes, handed it to her and said, "Try not to go out at night if you have nothing to do, and wear this."

"Hey, what's the point of giving me a dagger? If he has a gun, how can I be his opponent?"

"Haha, look carefully. Do you see these four small holes? There is a switch here. When it is turned on, you can see that the bottom part can be pulled, just like a trigger. When you pull it, the bullet will be fired."

"And this dagger can hold four rounds of ammunition, and the reload is quick."

"Just imagine, a man is pointing a gun at a woman, and at this time the woman takes out a dagger and says, 'Don't come over here, I will be rude to you if you come over here', what do you think the man will think?"

"Just when he's laughing at you, you shoot him a few times. Who will be laughing at whom then?"
