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

Jiang Hui spent 1000 yuan in foreign exchange certificates, leaving only 82 yuan in less than an hour.

It's definitely not enough to buy big items, but it's certainly enough to buy small things.

Buy, buy, buy! Money talks!

Jiang Hui spent all the foreign exchange certificates he had prepared today!

He carried a radio in one hand and held Lin Wanqiu's hand in the other.

The two strolled slowly through the Friendship Store.

The food section, in particular, opened Lin Wanqiu's eyes to new things.

The glass jars contain Swiss chocolates and Danish Blue Tin cookies, packaged in elegant and stylish tin boxes, priced at 6 yuan per piece and 12 yuan per box respectively.

Coca-Cola was on the shelf, priced at 2 yuan in foreign exchange coupons per can, more than ten times the price of domestic Beibingyang soda.

There are also imported milk powder and imported red wine, which are rare items that are hard to find on the market.

In the adjacent daily necessities section, Swiss Lux soaps and French perfumes are neatly arranged.

Lux soap costs 1 yuan a bar, has a rich fragrance, and is much more refined than ordinary soap.

The perfume costs 100 yuan a bottle, making it a luxury item that Jiang Hui couldn't afford even if he wanted to.

In the end, Lin Wanqiu didn't let Jiang Hui spend all the money; he only bought two bars of Lux soap and two bottles of Wuliangye liquor.

A bottle of Wuliangye costs 18 yuan in foreign exchange certificates, which is significantly more expensive than outside.

However, since no tickets are required, the price is actually about the same as the black market price.

Thinking about getting engaged, I figured I'd definitely have to have a couple of drinks with the meal.

It would be inappropriate not to have some good wine.

Jiang Hui and Lin Wanqiu returned home with a full load of goods that morning.

With so much stuff, it's not so convenient to eat out.

The two decided to go home first.

"Mom, look what I bought for you."

Jiang Hui had just placed a radio in the repair shop, and Lin Yuanwu and Fan Weimin were excitedly fiddling with it.

Now he brings another one home and presents it to Zhang Yuxiu like a precious treasure.

As for Lin Wanqiu, he simply told her to go and get the bicycle license plate nearby first, and he would come to find her later.

"You silly child! Have you been wasting money again?"

Zhang Yuxiu's face lit up with a smile when she saw the radio.

However, he was actually complaining.

Jiang Hui put the things on the table, smiling and not annoyed at all. "Mom, I earned it, so I should spend it when necessary."

"Even if you're working hard, you can't waste money like this!"

While grumbling, Zhang Yuxiu's hand involuntarily reached out and gently touched the brand-new Chunlei radio box, her eyes shining with undisguised gleam.

She's usually home alone, doing housework and pasting matchboxes.

It's actually quite boring.

Having a radio would be wonderful.

Unexpectedly, her own son had already arranged this thought that she had never mentioned.

Jiang Hui ignored the radio and instead opened the cloth bag, revealing four gleaming watches on the table.

Its shimmering silver appearance was almost blinding.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuxiu felt that the radio wasn't so appealing anymore.

"Second brother, what you've done..."

Besides the watch on the table, Zhang Yuxiu also noticed that Jiang Hui had another watch on his wrist.

"Dad, Xiaoyu, come here, where's big brother?"

Jiang Dadong had just come out of the inner room, his hands still covered in cigarette ash, when he saw this scene, he stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Yu even lay down on the table and picked up one of the women's watches to look at it.

"Your older brother recently started dating someone, and he also went out early this morning."

As Zhang Yuxiu spoke, her eyes never left her watch.

Jiang Hui didn't need to explain anything; she naturally knew what was going on.

Watches aren't cheap, and this...

Jiang Hui picked up a Shanghai brand all-steel men's watch and held it up to Jiang Dadong's wrist.

"Dad, this is yours. It'll be convenient for you to check the time when you go out for a walk or to work."

Jiang Dadong's lips moved as if he wanted to say, "Too expensive, a waste," but his hand obediently reached out.

As soon as the watch strap was fastened, he subconsciously raised his arm and shook it, his face tense, but the corners of his mouth subtly turned up.

Jiang Hui then picked up a gemstone flower women's watch and handed it to his third sister, Jiang Yu.

"Xiaoyu, this is yours. A girl should have a watch too."

Jiang Yu let out a soft "Ah!" and quickly stretched out her arm. After putting it on, she looked at it from left to right, reluctant to take it off, and smiled with two small dimples on her face.

Zhang Yuxiu watched from the side, muttering, "What a waste of money... buying so much all at once..."

But she had already gently picked up her own women's watch and asked Jiang Hui to help her fasten it.

The watch face was clean and elegant. She looked at it again and again in the light, her complaints long gone, leaving only undisguised joy.

"Mom, this is for my eldest brother. Please put it away for me."

After Jiang Hui finished speaking, he plugged the Chunlei radio back into power and then turned on the switch with a "click".

"Sizzle—"

After a brief hum of electricity, the voice of the Central People's Broadcasting Station came through clearly.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Dadong touched his watch and nodded with a smile:

"Good, good, that's a really bright voice."

Jiang Yu kept touching his watch and listening to the radio, jumping up and down with joy.

Zhang Yuxiu gently patted the radio casing and then touched the watch on her wrist.

Finally, he stopped saying "wasteful spending," and just sighed, "You're a thoughtful child... but you spend too much."

That's what she said, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"I still need to accompany Sister Wanqiu to register her bicycle, so I won't be home for lunch."

After Jiang Hui finished speaking, he got up and left.

Zhang Yuxiu wanted to ask something more, but after opening her mouth, she ultimately said nothing.

Today, my son bought so many things, and even bought an extra bicycle for Lin Wanqiu. It doesn't seem like an exaggeration.

However, when Jiang Hui passed by his own auto repair shop, he found a Shanghai SH760 parked in front of the shop.

Clearly, business has come knocking.

In this situation, it was definitely not appropriate for Jiang Hui to continue looking for Lin Wanqiu, so he went to the store entrance first.

"Brother Yuanwu, what's wrong with this car?"

From a distance, Jiang Hui asked a question.

"Jiang Hui, I heard from a customer that this Shanghai SH760 started making a 'buzzing' sound as soon as it started running yesterday."

"The slower the speed, the quieter the sound. But once it goes over 60 miles per hour, the noise is like an airplane taking off, so loud it hurts his ears."

"The strangest thing is that the noise doesn't disappear no matter whether he steps on the gas or releases it."

"Even when coasting in neutral, it still makes that noise, so just keep up with the car's speed."

Lin Yuanwu quickly came forward and explained the situation.

"Also, the car owner said that when driving straight, the steering wheel felt a bit floaty and veered slightly to the right."

After listening to Lin Yuanwu's words, Jiang Hui had already arrived at the car.

He knew without even using the system that the wheel bearing was definitely broken.

However, the problem I was worried about finally happened.

In this case of wheel hub bearing damage, the only way to repair it is to replace it with a new one.

The part itself is not worth repairing.

But I don't have any spare parts in my own shop.

Could it be that today's joy will turn into sorrow and ruin the reputation?
