For Lao Jiefang, it is common to not be able to catch fire.

The old liberation still uses the ancient platinum ignition, the old-fashioned Dongfeng 40, and the old Beijing 212 jeep, all of which are platinum ignition.

For the driver, the platinum ignition method is very technical, and the platinum gap needs to be manually adjusted, but any error cannot be started.

If it were the current driver, even if he was given an old liberation, he wouldn't be able to drive it, or even start it.

However, there is no shortage of experienced veteran drivers in the transportation company, and starting an old liberation is as easy as eating and drinking, and they have a way to start an old liberation.

And the drivers of that era knew some car repair technology, if it was just a general small problem, there was no need to pull the car to the auto repair workshop, the old drivers themselves could solve it.

Obviously, this old Jiefang was towed to the repair workshop, but it encountered a problem that even the old driver could not solve.

Repairman Xiao Zhao walked to the old liberation, Master Cai hesitated, but still handed over a pair of cigarettes.

Master Cai saw that Xiao Zhao was young, and he didn't want to hand over the cigarette, but after thinking about it, even if Xiao Zhao didn't repair well, he still had to count on Xiao Zhao's master, so he simply didn't skimp on this cigarette.

Xiao Zhao put the cigarette on his ear in style, and then opened the hood.

"What do you call Master Zhao?" said Master Cai, intentionally or unintentionally.

"My name is Zhao Hu, just call me Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao seemed to be worried that Master Cai would look down on him, and then said: "My father is Zhao Youtian from the logistics department. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Youtian's son. "Master Cai's eyes are much kinder.

In the early 80s, the workers of state-owned enterprises were above the top, and even in the same unit, they could distinguish between 369 and so on.

In state-owned enterprises, they are also workers, and the children of their own units who were born and raised in their own units, and the secondary school students assigned from outside are completely two levels, and the children of their own units will naturally be treated more. When you mention who you are and whose son you are, you will be surrounded by uncles and uncles.

As for the assigned workers, if they have an urban hukou, it is better to say that those secondary school students from rural areas who are assigned to state-owned enterprises are congenitally inferior, and they usually have to be people with their tails between their legs.

Zhao Hu's sentence "Zhao Youtian's" son seems to be saying, I am biological, you have to be kind to me.

While inspecting the car, Zhao Hu asked, "Master Cai, has your car often failed to catch fire recently?"

"Yes, there is, but my car is produced in 75 years, and it is common for it to not catch fire, so I tinkered with it myself and repaired it. Master Cai replied.

The new apprentices may not understand the meaning of Master Cai's words, but Li Weidong does.

From the late 60s to the mid-70s, for ten years, FAW could only barely maintain production, and the quality of the old liberation output during that period was the worst, and it was normal for small problems to be mostly defective.

Later, after the second generation of Jiefang was put on the market, the trucks introduced from Eastern Europe in the 60s continued to be used, but the old Jiefang produced in the 70s was the first to be eliminated.

Zhao Hu then asked, "Master Cai, has your car often stalled recently?"

"It's a lot of stalls, but it's all an old problem with this car. Master Cai spoke.

Zhao Hu removed a few screws and waved his hand to call an apprentice: "You help me hold this valve, I'll go up and start it." ”

The apprentice held the valve, Zhao Hu got into the car and started to start.

The sound of the engine starting, and some fire could be faintly seen through the dismantled air gate, but the engine never started.

Zhao Hu jumped down from the cab, came to the engine again, checked it again, and then said: "This is a broken carburetor, you have to replace it with a new carburetor." Master Cai, you wait a while, I'll change the carburetor for you now. ”

Today's drivers are relatively unfamiliar with carburetors. Because as early as the end of the nineties, the state banned the production of carburetor cars, and in 2001, carburetor cars were discontinued. And in the eighties, almost all cars were carburetors.

Zhao Hu began to replace the carburetor, and the apprentices gathered around, learning as they worked.

With the help of a few apprentices, Zhao Hu quickly replaced the carburetor.

Zhao Hu climbed into the cab, ignited and started, and with a puff of black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, the car really started successfully.

"Okay, Master Cai, the car has been repaired for you!" Zhao Hu jumped out of the car and said with a smug face.

"Okay, Xiao Zhao, the craftsmanship is good. Master Cai said, handing over another cigarette.

"Dirty hands. Zhao Hu didn't take the cigarette, and Master Cai directly stuffed the cigarette into Zhao Hu's chest pocket.

Old-fashioned blue overalls, with two pockets on the chest and two pockets on the waist, can hold a lot of things.

At this moment, a sigh sounded, which was particularly noticeable.

Everyone followed the sound and happened to see Li Weidong there, sighing and shaking his head.

"This young man, at a young age, sigh what!" Master Cai asked with a smile.

When Master Cai saw that Li Weidong was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he knew that this must be his own child of the transportation company, and his attitude seemed very friendly. Because the assigned secondary school students or veterans are not so young.

Li Weidong raised his head, looked at the old Jiefang that had just been repaired, and then looked at Master Cai, and then said: "Master Cai, if the engine turns off halfway in a while, drive the car back again, and find a master to take a new look at you." ”

"Shut out the fire halfway?" Master Cai didn't quite understand what Li Weidong meant, and then looked at Zhao Hu with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Hu next to him heard it, Li Weidong meant that the car had not been repaired at all.

"Li Weidong, what do you mean?" asked Zhao Hu with an unkind face.

Li Weidong had no choice but to explain: "Brother Zhao, this car can't catch fire, it's not just because of the carburetor problem. ”

"Isn't it the carburetor problem?" Zhao Hu pursed his lips disdainfully, picked up the carburetor that had just been replaced, and said: "See for yourself, what is the paste inside this carburetor! It's not the carburetor problem." ”

As Zhao Hu said, the inside of this carburetor is dark and slimy, and some solidified impurities can be seen carefully, according to this situation, there must be serious wear and tear inside.

At this time, an old auto mechanic in his forties happened to pass by, and he didn't ask the reason for the incident, but just looked at the dismantled carburetor and said: "The carburetor is like this, and it can't be used anymore." ”

The old auto mechanic's words seemed to be the final word, and Zhao Hu's waist straightened up a lot in an instant.

"I said Li Weidong, do you wander around the workshop every day, do you know how to repair cars? I'm afraid you can't even tell the difference between the brake and the clutch!

Next to him, several apprentices also looked at Li Weidong with disdain, but these apprentices were all temporary workers, and Li Weidong was formal, so these apprentices did not dare to speak disrespectfully to Li Weidong.

If it was a young and vigorous Li Weidong, he would definitely have an argument with Zhao Hu at this time, but after being reborn, Li Weidong had already lost the competitive spirit of young people, and in the face of Zhao Hu's pointing, he just smiled helplessly, and then turned to leave.

Zhao Hu said to Master Cai: "Master Cai, he is a bastard in our workshop, he doesn't understand anything, don't listen to his nonsense, I have repaired this car, you can drive on the road now, there is absolutely no problem!"
