In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 460 The house is completed

Not only that, Mr. Liang also has a particularly large warehouse in Luhe, which stores an unknown number of spare parts, both domestic and foreign, for cars, trucks, construction vehicles, and everything except airplanes and tanks.

The news was spread with great detail and seemingly certainty.

When the news accidentally reached Yu Dawei's ears, he was completely dumbfounded.

They then quickly went to discuss it with Brother Duan. After a discussion, they concluded that it must have been that shameless person who was bragging about it everywhere.

However, Yu Dawei didn't care or expose it. Sometimes, when people from other places came specifically to repair cars and asked about it, Yu Dawei would tell his men to help lift Boss Liang up.

After all, when he's expanding into new markets, his reputation is a very important asset.

Although he gave himself face in the beginning, as his brother, we can't just watch him get exposed, can we?

Duan Dahai had the same idea. When someone came to inspect his factory and mentioned "General Manager Liang," Duan Dahai also gave him a compliment, so that the guy wouldn't have a bad reputation outside.

Meanwhile, things were gradually getting better for Yu Da himself.

First of all, the house has been completely built, with a large warehouse that can fit two cars, a huge storage room, and brand new pig sheds, chicken coops, and duck sheds.

The goose shed wasn't built, mainly because Yu Dawei felt that geese and ducks don't fight, so if Xiao Fan were to raise geese, he should put them together with the ducks.

Yu Dawei also renovated the garden in the courtyard, reducing its original large area by a circle. In the southernmost part, near the woods outside, he planted cherry trees, plum trees, pear trees, and apricot trees.

These are the kinds of fruit trees that are commonly planted in every household in Northeast China. As for peach trees and apple trees, almost no one in the villages plants them.

Yu Dawei didn't plant too many trees; one of each type was enough. He wasn't going to get rich from them. He was just worried that he wouldn't be able to eat fresh fruit in the summer because of the underdeveloped transportation system.

Yu Dawei also divided up the rest of the garden, with each plot of land designated as an area, containing eggplant vines, chili pepper vines, cucumber vines, bean vines, and chive vines, among others.

Chives are different from other vegetables. Once they settle in a certain place, you don't need to take care of them. Every year when you go to that place, after you harvest one crop, another crop will grow back. They are very much like those "real chives" in the stock market who are harvested by capital.

The garden's walls were made of bricks and cement, and where they met the courtyard walls, Yu Dawei had deliberately stuck many broken pieces of porcelain and glass in them to prevent unscrupulous people from stealing things during holidays.

Because the front yard had undergone major renovations, and all the vegetables in the garden had been harvested and then discarded, Yu Dawei shamelessly decided to take advantage of the backyard, where the old man had planted a ready-made vegetable garden.

Finally, there's Yu Dawei's newly built house. Someone in the village suggested tiling the house inside and out to make it brighter.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei immediately rejected the idea.

In the later part of my previous life, many rural houses were tiled. At first, they were thought to be very beautiful and easy to clean, but later they found that the houses were unusually cold all year round.

Burning a stove in winter is fine, but once the stove is turned off, the temperature in the room drops instantly. Moreover, experts have said that the tiles contain toxic substances.

So Yu Dawei didn't agree to any of those fancy things. He just wanted to put on an insulation layer, seal it with cement, and then paint the ceiling and other rooms with latex paint a few times. That would complete the whole thing.

Because latex paint has only been available in China for less than two years, it is not only expensive but also difficult to buy. Fortunately, my third and second uncles are in the construction business, so it was very convenient for them to bring over a few buckets.

When Yu Dawei bought it, the people in the village were very curious. After all, they were used to seeing paint, but they had never heard of latex paint.

After Yu Dawei demonstrated it, many villagers thought it would look better with tiles, and they left amidst the noise.

Yu Dawei rolled his eyes at these people, saying that it was pointless to talk if they didn't understand anything.

Because the electricity supply in the village is currently unreliable, sometimes not and sometimes not, Yu Dawei didn't dare to buy a refrigerator for his home.

However, after buying the color TV, Yu Dawei still bought two after much deliberation, one in the front yard and one in the back yard.

In addition to the color TV, there is also an antenna for receiving TV channels.

Assembling the antenna is simple, but it can't be too low, otherwise there will be no signal. So the old man and his son Yu Dawei started to make antenna poles by using wooden poles that are more than ten meters long.

Although they could only receive three channels after turning on the TV, and all of them had static, everyone in the village, young and old, was overjoyed.

For seven days in a row, everyone ran to the backyard. Those who usually liked to play cards also signed a truce agreement and went to Yu Laonian's house to get close to him. Then they sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and listened to the Errenzhuan (a type of folk opera) that was played at fixed times.

When Yu Dawei moved into the newly built house with Xiao Fan and his eldest son, Yu Dawei didn't cry. Instead, Han Jingfan hid under the covers and cried.

That night, the girl, who was only twenty-one or twenty-two years old, hid in Yu Dawei's arms and cried very sadly.

In her world, it seems that having a new house to live in is a dream that can never be realized.

Before she got married, she thought she would be like the other women in the village, working hard, raising children, and saving money to make ends meet.

But ever since Yu Dawei got involved in the agricultural machinery parts incident, he has gradually changed his family's situation and the unbearable days he once lived. That night, Yu Dawei held Han Jingfan and talked a lot. The future life he described was not like the life he had in his previous life, where he just held his wife and made empty promises to her.

No matter how hard the pancake is, he insists that his wife eat it.

This time, he talked about his ordinary life. He didn't have any grand ambitions to build a big company or become a big shot. He was just an ordinary person who made a living by maintaining his car.

Incidentally, it's about seizing the opportunities that have passed you by in the past, nothing more.

Han Jingfan was moved once again after hearing this.

Of course, although the house was completed, the overall process was not perfect.

For example, when it came to inviting everyone to dinner after the building was completed, Yu Dawei originally didn't plan to invite the Han family, but the old man was concerned about his reputation, so he asked Yu Dawei to invite them.

When the person arrived, he, emboldened by alcohol, brought up the matter of borrowing money again, and did so in front of everyone.

Yu Dawei didn't tolerate his older sister and brother-in-law's behavior and refused outright.

Han Jingfan's eldest and second eldest brothers, seeing their eldest sister lose face, also became uncomfortable and retorted to Yu Dawei, saying things like, "You've got money, so you're getting arrogant."

Then he left with his older sister and the others.

Finally, the Han family and Yu Dawei had a preliminary break.

However, Yu Dawei didn't care about this. During the most difficult time of his life, he still had his eldest son and his youngest son, and they both made it through.

It seems like there's no difference between having such relatives and not having them.

After the brief incident, Yu Dawei returned to his work.

In the blink of an eye, the summer and autumn of 1994 passed quickly, and winter arrived.

Yu Dawei's Fanfan Repair Shop has a daily customer volume that is basically the same as during the summer peak season. This is also thanks to Boss Liang. Because of its growing reputation, many business owners who live not far from Luhe like to drive their cars here to have their oil changed and maintenance done at Fanfan Repair Shop.

Fanfan Repair Shop has been performing well with engineering vehicles, but the daily number of passenger cars has decreased. However, due to the arrival of winter, there have been more field rescues.

Lao Ji quickly reorganized the personnel, and those who didn't usually do much work went with Ben Jun and the others to carry out rescue operations in the wild.

It's worth mentioning that Fanfan Repair Shop only has one Daihatsu van, and it's impossible for five or six people to squeeze into one vehicle, since there are also equipment and tools inside.

So Yu Dawei acquired two more second-hand vans, which, after modification and repair, have been put into use for wilderness rescue.

During this period, Fanfan Repair Shop also started buying cars, refurbishing them, and then selling used cars.

Unlike Yu Dawei, who buys and refurbishes construction vehicles for resale, Fanfan Repair Shop mainly deals in sedans, vans, and trucks. As for other vehicles, Yu Dawei did not agree to sell them, mainly because he was afraid they would be unsellable and stuck with them.

From July to the end of November, Fanfan Repair Shop refurbished a total of six cars.

At first, Lao Ji and Taozi were quite cautious, but as the profits from the renovations and sales continued to increase, they gained more confidence.

However, Luhe is just a small town, and there aren't that many wealthy people. Even with customers coming from outside, they can't sell many units.

So after a while, the idea of ​​Fanfan Repair Shop refurbishing cars for resale cooled down.

Yu Dawei didn't care about this. After all, he wasn't a saint and didn't know which decision was right. There were many things he hadn't tried in his previous life, and he would only know if something would work after trying it.

Ultimately, Fanfan Repair Shop's car refurbishment business could only continue in a half-hearted manner.

However, the six cars that were refurbished and sold did indeed allow the repair shop to make a small profit.

At the end of November, the ninth section of the project on the Luhe side of the Eighth Bureau was completely completed, and Yao Jinfu ushered in a long vacation that he had never had in a year.

The other party planned to stay with his elderly father for a while before returning to Fanfan's repair shop to help repair the car.

Yu Dawei didn't refute this. He knew that the kid was saying he was accompanying his old man, but actually he just wanted to see Mi Yao every day and take their relationship to the next level.

It's strange, though. These two have been together for quite a while, but it seems there hasn't been any real progress.

Yu Dawei used to have a pretty good impression of Mi Yao, but ever since he found out that this woman had been stringing his brother along, he has developed a less favorable feeling towards Mi Yao.
