Reborn in 1982: I Became the Richest Man by Repairing Cars

After November, the poplar trees along Wudaoying Street had long since lost their lush green of midsummer.

The palm-sized leaves were dyed a golden yellow, and they fell to the ground with a rustling sound when the wind blew.

It wasn't just one or two flakes drifting down; it was clusters and bunches of them crashing down.

It makes a rustling sound when you step on it, and in no time, a thin layer of yellow residue accumulates on the street.

An old man sweeping the street pushed his bamboo broom back and forth, and just as he finished cleaning a section, the wind blew down new yellow leaves.

The smell of coal smoke wafting from the alleyway became the most authentic scene in this autumn.

"Brother, I heard you've been giving lectures to people at Shougang these past few days?"

As soon as Jiang Hui got home, Jiang Yu eagerly came over and took the braised pig ears that Jiang Hui had weighed on the way.

These past few days, Jiang Hui has been buying some food whenever he comes back.

Pig ears, pig tongue, pig liver, pig heart, pig kidney, pig stomach, pig large intestine, pig small intestine, pig lung, as well as pig skin and pig tendons, do not require meat coupons.

These are also the main ingredients for the braised food stalls that have sprung up on the roadside, and they are much cheaper than fresh meat.

For just five or six cents, you can add a big dish to your family's dinner.

"Haven't you always envied other classmates who could ride bicycles to work?"

"Tomorrow's Sunday, I'll take you to buy one."

Jiang Hui took out the bicycle ticket from his pocket and waved it in front of Jiang Yu.

Earning money is for the purpose of enjoying life.

There's no need to keep it there indefinitely.

You can assemble your own bicycle by buying parts.

However, if possible, Jiang Hui would prefer that the car he gives Jiang Yu has a license plate.

So that she wouldn't lose face in front of her classmates.

Girls this age know quite a lot.

"Bicycle ticket?"

Jiang Yu recognized the item in Jiang Hui's hand at a glance and couldn't help but hug Jiang Hui's arm, her whole body filled with excitement.

"Yes, it was given to me by Shougang."

Just as Jiang Hui said this, Chen Qingxiang returned from outside.

"Section Chief Zhou is really generous, actually giving you such a rare bicycle ticket."

As a truck driver for Shougang Group, Chen Qingxiang was well aware that many people in the factory wanted a bicycle ticket.

However, the number is very small each year, and ordinary people have no chance of getting one.

Only model workers or workers who have won important awards have the opportunity to be awarded one.

"I owe this all to Uncle Chen, who introduced me to Shougang Auto Repair. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet Section Chief Zhou."

Jiang Hui smiled and replied.

"Xiaoyu's school isn't far, why does she need a bicycle?"

"You should keep this ticket; it might come in handy someday."

Zhang Yuxiu felt that her second son was spending money too extravagantly, and couldn't help but chime in from the side.

"Second brother, I've been walking to school for so many years, one more year won't make a difference. Sister Wanqiu needs a bicycle more than I do."

"Why don't you buy it for Sister Wanqiu?"

Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed after her mother said that.

However, her suggestion only made Zhang Yuxiu even more unhappy.

Her son and Lin Wanqiu are nothing to each other yet, and this girl is already suggesting giving him a bicycle?

Is this how people live their lives?

"I will definitely make preparations for Sister Wanqiu later."

"But I'll buy you this bicycle first."

Jiang Hui didn't explain much, and directly stated his thoughts, "Mom, I'm so hungry, can we eat now?"

Jiang Hui's interruption silenced Zhang Yuxiu.

The key is to listen to Jiang Hui's opinion: if he doesn't buy it for Jiang Yu, then he should buy it for Lin Wanqiu.

It would be better to buy one for Jiang Yu; the bicycle is still at home.

After all, Lin Wanqiu isn't officially married yet.

"It'll be ready soon."

Zhang Yuxiu said irritably, "You just keep spoiling her."

……

"How's it going with Shougang? Is everything going smoothly?"

As soon as Fan Weimin returned home, Fan Chengtian couldn't help but ask.

His son had formally become Jiang Hui's apprentice, and he was naturally eager to know how effective it would be.

"Master is truly amazing."

"People at Shougang Group really admire him."

"I feel that in the future, if their own repair shop can't fix a car, they will consider inviting a mechanic to come and help with the repair."

Reflecting on what he had seen and heard over the past few days, Fan Weimin is now very confident in mastering the skill of car repair.

Because his father was a driver with some car repair skills, he had a deeper understanding of the car repair industry.

Therefore, it is very clear how well Jiang Hui is performing at present.

"That's good. You should learn well from Master Jiang."

"I feel that with his level of skill, his future is definitely limitless."

As a driver, Fan Chengtian traveled all over the country and was considered a fairly well-traveled person in those days.

Especially after entering the Coca-Cola factory, I saw more things than the average person.

"Yes, I will study hard under my master's guidance."

With this conviction in his heart, Fan Weimin's enthusiasm for learning car repair was naturally extraordinary.

……

The next day was Sunday. After dinner, Jiang Hui went to buy bicycles with Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqiu.

"I heard that the Xidan bicycle shop has all kinds of bicycles, why don't we go there?"

Although it wasn't for herself, Lin Wanqiu was very enthusiastic.

"Hmm, I want to buy a bike that's more suitable for girls to ride."

Jiang Yu is currently very motivated.

There's no need to be so polite with your own brother.

In particular, she knew that her second brother was not short of money now and could earn a lot of money every time he repaired a car.

It's much better than being an apprentice at a repair shop.

"Okay, let's go to the Xidan bicycle shop then."

Jiang Hui had Lin Wanqiu sit in the back seat, while Jiang Yu sat on the front crossbar.

Don't be fooled by the fact that I assembled this bicycle myself from parts; the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

Following the flow of bicycles, it took Jiang Hui nearly an hour to reach the Xidan Bicycle Shop.

Jiang Hui gripped the brakes and stopped the car at the parking area on the east side of the store.

There are two rows of parking racks made of welded thick iron pipes. An old man wearing a blue cloth hat and a dark blue work jacket is sitting on a small stool, holding a stack of kraft paper parking plates in his hand.

Seeing Jiang Hui approach, he looked up and tapped the metal bucket at his feet: "Want to park your bike? Two cents, or I'll compensate you if it gets stolen."

"live."

These days, public security isn't as good as you might imagine. If you don't park your car, it might be gone when you come out.

Even if it has the police station's official seal on it, it's useless.

No matter the era, people always have many ways to turn your things into theirs.

So Jiang Hui simply assembled the car himself and pushed it over to be stored there.

Jiang Hui skillfully parked his bike against the metal frame. The old man pulled over a thin wire, wrapped it around the handlebars and the frame twice, and then tore a piece of cardboard with numbers printed on it from a stack of paper and pinned it to Jiang Hui's handlebars.

The other one was handed to Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui took out two coins and dropped them into the iron bucket, then went into the store with Lin Wanqiu and Jiang Yu.
