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

Chapter 94 You want me, a master repairman, to fix your bicycle?

Yu Dawei rested at home for a day. After feeding the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and pigs in the morning, he took his wife and children to the backyard. Yu Dawei held the child, while Han Jingfan held a book in her arms.

Han Jingfan was like this on weekdays. After finishing her work, she would read whenever she had free time. Occasionally, she would take the old fountain pen that her grandfather had given her and write something in a notebook she bought from a small shop, something that resembled a diary or a collection of essays.

My younger sister Xiaofang went out to have fun as soon as she was on vacation. My mom said that the two kids disappeared after breakfast.

Nowadays in the village, there aren't many like Xiaofang who have gone through junior high and are about to take the high school entrance exam. Most are like Eryan, who only went to junior high after the first or second year of junior high and then dropped out, as if it were a dead end.

Yu Dawei once secretly asked Er Yan if she regretted not studying at school like Xiao Fang.

Er Yan shook her head and explained that, on the one hand, she really wasn't good at studying and had never been able to concentrate in class since she was a child. She knew that her personality wasn't suited for studying. On the other hand, her father had worried a lot about her second brother over the years and couldn't do heavy work now, so she didn't want to add any unnecessary burden to the family.

When Yu Dawei asked about this, he had just gotten a new car. Although he knew that Er Yan didn't like studying, the importance of studying was self-evident.

Even she herself realized this when she went to Hohhot in the future, so she worked part-time and saved money to attend night school. The hardships she endured are beyond what outsiders can understand.

Yu Dawei didn't want his second sister to go through such hardship again, but he was also afraid of disrupting her life trajectory.

After all, among the five children in the previous life, the youngest sister's family was the richest, but the second sister's family was the happiest.

Whether in her past life or this one, the second sister always raised Xiao Muyu, accompanied her sister-in-law during her postpartum period, and helped her take care of the child.

It's impossible for Yu Dawei not to be grateful. It's just that he was carefree in the past and didn't think about it carefully. Even after his divorce in his previous life, he kept bothering Er Yan to take care of his youngest son until he was admitted to university. During winter and summer vacations, he would send his son to Er Yan's house to be taken care of.

His silly younger sister has always been devoted and selfless.

So every time Yu Dawei brings Xiao Fang something delicious, he also brings Er Yan a portion when they return to the village. In addition, he also brings a bottle of her favorite canned food, but it's not good to eat it often because it's too sweet and might affect her health.

Yu Dawei lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) lost in thought for a while when he suddenly heard the laughter of several girls outside. Then he heard Xiao Fang run in from outside, shouting, "Big brother, big brother, what are you doing?"

"Sleeping." Upon hearing his younger sister's voice, Yu Dawei turned over and began to snore.

"Ugh, you're so annoying! You're sleeping and you're talking to me, you're lying!" Xiao Fang has now shown her fearless nature. She reached out her little hand and grabbed Yu Dawei's head, then clamped her head between her arms and used her fingers to pry open Yu Dawei's closed eyelids.

"Brother, you've already opened your eyes, so tell me you're not lying?" Xiao Fang smiled smugly.

"My eyes, oh, my eyes!" Yu Dawei was forced to stand up, covering his eyes with his hands in an extremely exaggerated gesture, "I'm blind, you'll have to take care of me from now on."

"Big brother! If you keep doing this, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Yu Fang was so angry that her teeth itched. She puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at her older brother.

Yu Dawei raised his hands above his head: "I'm done playing. What's up? Speak."

Er Yan followed Xiao Fang in. When she saw Xiao Mu Yu, she couldn't help but go up to Xiao Mu Yu and ask for a hug.

Xiao Muyu seemed to have found her relatives and reached out her hands towards Er Yan.

Two girls followed behind Er Yan. They were from the same village. One of them was surnamed Yu and the other was surnamed Tian. The two girls had met Yu Dawei in the village before.

Ever since they heard from their parents that Yu Dawei was now very rich and had become the new richest man in the village, the two girls looked at Yu Dawei differently. In addition, Yu Dawei was already physically strong with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. One of the girls, surnamed Tian, ​​had a different look in her eyes.

In the midst of blooming flowers vying for beauty, which flower does not yearn for spring?
As girls grow older, they become women and eventually choose an equal man to marry, become wives, and raise children.

"Brother, my bicycle is broken, can you fix it for me?" Xiaofang said, clearly a little embarrassed.

After all, I had just bullied my older brother and needed his help. I should have been gentler and slapped him awake.
"Hehe, little sister." Yu Dawei put his hands on Xiao Fang's shoulders and said earnestly, "You actually made a master who can repair imported excavators lower himself to repair your bicycle. You really have a lot of ideas."

"Oh no! Dad's gone out, and I can't find him. I have to ride my bike to school tomorrow!"

"No need, I'm going to town tomorrow too, I'll take you in my four-wheeled vehicle."

"But I still need to ride my bicycle home! I have to use a bicycle! Yu Dawei! Will you help me or not!" Xiao Fang glared at him fiercely, like a little female dog ready to pounce and bite him at any moment.

Yu Dawei rolled over and lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), pretending to sleep: "No way. I've never seen anyone beg for help so arrogantly in my life." (横heng, pronounced with a fourth tone, can be understood as rude and rude.)
Yu Dawei insisted that he must hear some nice compliments this time. Xiao Fang was dumbfounded. She looked at her mother sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), then at her sister-in-law, and found that they were both just smiling and not saying anything. In the end, she could only look to her second sister for help.

Er Yan curled her lip. It was clearly you who asked for help and you were still so arrogant. Who can you blame for that?

Although that's what he thought, he still held Xiao Muyu and pleaded with Xiao Fang: "Big brother, don't take it to heart. That's just her personality."

"That's right, that's right, good brother, please help me fix it. You've even fixed our four-wheeled vehicle before. With your amazing skills, a bicycle should be no problem!" Xiao Fang also turned around and quickly showered him with compliments.

Yu Dawei forced a smile and reluctantly got off the kang (a heated brick bed): "Sigh, what can I do? I have a sister like you."

Han Jingfan was about to turn the page when she heard this and couldn't sit still any longer. She looked up and glanced at Yu Dawei: "You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent. If you really scare your little sister to tears, let's see what you do."

Yu Dawei's face immediately darkened. "Wife, you can't just ruin things like this!"

"Alright! Yu Dawei! How dare you bully your little sister? I, Yu Fang, will fight you to the death today!" Xiao Fang suddenly realized what was going on, and swung her little fists in the air, aiming for Yu Dawei's chest.

Yu Dawei stretched out his left hand and easily held Xiao Fang's head down, while picking his nose with his other hand. He looked calmly at the two little fists that were waving in the air like wheels of fire: "If you don't stop, I really won't fix it anymore."

"Hmph! This young lady is magnanimous and will let you off this time." Xiao Fang felt that there was too much of a height and strength difference between her and the other party, and it was obvious that she could not cause any harm. She could only reluctantly withdraw her hand, but she would not give in. She raised her small head, crossed her arms, and glanced at Yu Dawei: "Yu Dawei of the Yu family, why don't you get to work!"

Yu Dawei rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with this brat. He went to the four-wheeled vehicle in the yard, lifted the old-fashioned bicycle out of the vehicle, and put down the kickstand next to the rear wheel, so that the rear wheel was completely suspended in the air.

"What's wrong with the bicycle?" Yu Dawei asked.

"It's getting harder and harder to pedal, and my pants legs get caught in it. Plus, lately this place has been really uncomfortable on my butt," Xiaofang complained.
Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei made up his mind.

This old, worn-out bicycle was the one Grandpa Yu used when he went to work in the production brigade. Later, it was stored in the warehouse. His second son rode it, and he himself always hitched rides on Yao Jinfu's bicycle.

He crouched down and glanced at the bicycle chain.

The chain was visibly rusted, and the chain guard was completely stuck to the chain. I wonder how much effort this girl must have had to pedal the bicycle.

The bicycle seat is no longer secure; the metal pipe supporting the seating position has pierced the leather. All the thumbtacks around the seat have also come loose and are frayed.

"Brother, what are you looking at? Why aren't you fixing it?" Xiao Fang approached Yu Dawei, resting her chin on her hands, completely puzzled.

"How can I fix it without tools? I've taken all our tools to town."

"Then how?"

Yu Dawei gestured with his chin toward the neighboring yard: "Let's borrow some from my second sister's house. I need pliers, a hammer, an adjustable wrench, a flathead screwdriver, and thumbtacks if possible, but it's okay if not."

"Should I go?" Xiaofang stared wide-eyed, pointing to herself.

"Do you expect me, an eighth-level repair expert, to do it?" Yu Dawei rolled his eyes at the other person with annoyance.

"Okay, okay, Yu Dana, you wait here, I'll be right back." After saying that, Xiao Fang skipped over the earthen wall of the neighboring yard and went to her second sister's house.

Yu Dawei wasn't idle either. He went to the old man's storeroom, found a small jar of butter, opened the lid, applied a little, and felt that the lubrication was sufficient to lubricate the bicycle chain.

Xiaofang returned shortly afterward, clutching several tools in her hands, almost unable to hold them all.

Seeing this, Yu Dawei had no choice but to step forward and take the tools, and began to disassemble the seat. The chain guard, also known as the chain guard plate, was relatively difficult to disassemble, so he put it aside for now.

He first used pliers to straighten the baffle, then placed the flat side of the baffle on the brick and gently hammered it flat. After comparing the gap between the chain and the chain baffle, he felt it was about right and then put the repaired baffle aside.

This is just the first step. He also needs to clean the chain, use a brush to remove as much rust as possible, dry it with a rag, and then apply grease.

But Yu Dawei was very cautious and didn't dare to apply too much butter. He only used a small amount, about the size of his index fingertip, in a few places.
