Chapter 3 Repaired Television
Whether it's a school in China or a school in Japan, there is such a thing as homework after school.
Lin Yan is writing his homework, and he writes it very easily, because whether it is "past life" or "present life", there are ways to solve these exercises stored in his memory.
It's an old house, and the soundproofing is not good. Although Father Lin didn't make much noise when repairing electrical appliances, he didn't have to tinkle and knock like a blacksmith repairing a pot.
But there was a stir downstairs, and there was a guest or something, and Lin Yan, who was doing his homework upstairs, could still hear it clearly.
"Brother Fushi, has the TV been fixed?"
It was already dark, and a male voice sounded from downstairs and reached Lin Yan's ears.
That's right, Lin Yan's cheap dad is called Lin Fuzhi, if his name is changed, it will be changed to Lin Fugui. There may be many people who think that he came from a corner of the countryside in China.
In fact, the Japanese surname Lin and the Chinese surname Lin have little to do with it.
Before 1870, only Japanese aristocrats had surnames.
After 1885, Emperor Meiji promulgated the "Civilian Miao Character Must Be Called Order", which made it mandatory for Japanese people to have a surname. The vast majority of Japanese civilians have a surname.
However, due to the low level of education of the Japanese masses at that time. Therefore, the question of what is the surname, just rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water, and what you are familiar with is the surname.
Therefore, those who are born near the water are called, by the river, by the river. Those that grow on the side of the mountain are called Yamada, mountain villages.
The reason why the Lin family is surnamed Lin is that it is estimated that it is also the ancestor of the Lin family, and the place where they live is the deep mountains and old forests.
"I didn't ...... Brother Jingyuan, I'm really sorry......" Although Lin Yan said upstairs, he couldn't see his father. But I can also imagine his hands rubbing together now, full of apologies.
"Oh, it's fine." Holding the briefcase, Guangcun Jingyuan, who was slightly embarrassed in middle age, waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big problem if it was not repaired.
"Wait......" However, he stopped halfway through his hand. Because he pressed the switch on the TV, the TV turned on......
Daddy Lin Fuzhi, although he doesn't know why he didn't fix the TV, why it suddenly works well. But his brain is not stupid, a businessman is a stupid person, wouldn't he want to pay for his death. He dragged out a long voice and said really sorry, and it became, "I'm really sorry, fortunately, I didn't dishonor Brother Jingyuan's trust and repaired it." ”
"Dude is dude, technology is awesome!" Hiromura Jingyuan gave a thumbs up.
He patted the TV's head and continued, "Don't hide it from Brother Fuzhi, this TV has been around for many years and has passed the warranty period. After it broke, I first looked for an official repair, but you know, after the warranty period, the price of the repair is too touching.
Their maintenance staff also told me that if you can't fix it elsewhere, you will come back sooner or later. To tell you the truth, before coming to Brother Fuzhi, I had been to three stores, but unfortunately they didn't find anything wrong. It didn't work for several days. It's still Brother Fuzhi, and it's repaired in one day. Technology really doesn't have to be said. ”
Daddy Lin Fuzhi can now say that he has been puffing all afternoon, and he is stunned that he has not repaired it, and then the TV is inexplicably better? Of course you can't say. The store only boasts, how can there be self-deprecation.
"It's not as outrageous as Brother Jingyuan said, it's just luck, it's ......just luck," Lin Fuzhi said with a honest smile.
"Brother, don't say that, strength is strength, if there are electrical appliances at home in the future, I will come to my brother to repair them." Hiromura Jingyuan said, took out a few yen from his briefcase, and handed them to Lin Fuzhi.
"This ...... Brother Jingyuan, the maintenance cost is not so high......" Lin Fuzhi, who counted the money, said.
"This is what my brother deserves. To be honest, this money is several times lower than the official maintenance fee. Speaking of which, I should have taken advantage of my brother. Guangcun Jingyuan said.
"That'...... All right...... Next time Brother Jingyuan comes, I will be cheap. Lin Fuzhi hesitated for a while, but still put the money in his pocket.
Because the TV is too big, it is undoubtedly impossible for Guangcun Jingyuan to take it back alone.
But it's not a thing, there is a small company specializing in electrical appliances in Akihabara, Lin Fuzhi made a phone call, and within two minutes, two young men drove over.
"Goodbye, Brother Fushi." Hiromura Jingyuan said.
"Come again......" Lin Fuzhi said when he delivered it to the door.
Seeing Guangcun Jingyuan go away, Daddy Lin Fuzhi looked around, saw that his wife was not nearby, took out the money in his pocket, and counted it carefully. Then, put the previously agreed maintenance fee into the cash box and put it into the ledger.
And the extra money, he put it under his nose and sniffed deeply. This is the taste of money, this is the taste of your own money.
Lin Yan, who was upstairs, of course, didn't see all this. However, according to the content of the conversation, he has already guessed that it is not far from ten. The corners of his mouth turned upwards, slightly curling.
Rebirth, start small. Although, he has no ambitions, and he has no ideas to change the world and lead the trend. However, there is still an ambition to make life a little better for the family.
When his mother returned from grocery shopping, Lin Yan went downstairs and told his mother that he had eaten outside after school. Could have done a little less.
My mother didn't say anything except for reprimanding me twice, I didn't know how to save, and I was a loser.
Well...... The taste of this miso soup...... It's the taste of mom......
"It's delicious!" Lin Yan couldn't help but say.
"Uh-huh...... It's delicious......" Father Lin on the main seat hurriedly echoed.
Lin Fuzhi, Lin Yan's father, has been annoyed by Lin Yan's smiling expression. He knew that this bastard must have heard about the extra money from the guests. Looking at him like this, it is not possible not to give some hush money.
An intimate family dinner was over.
"you, I'll go out for a while, Senior Yumeno said he wanted to get together with me today." After eating, Lin Fuzhi put on his coat, made up a reason randomly, and said to his mother who was cleaning the dishes and chopsticks.
"Come back early and don't drink too much." Mom said. Don't look at her fierce at home, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is a traditional Japanese woman who is a housekeeper.
The windfall does not stay overnight, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy. Even if you don't get reprimanded by your wife, you will inevitably be confiscated from the treasury. Daddy Lin Fuzhi, the reason why he is in such a hurry to go out and spend his money is because of this reason. After all, the painful memories are still in the mind. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, how can you not eat a trench and grow wise.
"Hmm." With money in his pocket and his body seemed to be upright, Daddy Lin Fuzhi said with a full heart.
Lin Yan saw his father's careful thoughts, and shook his head with a smile.
It seems that life is not bad to go on like this.
Ordinary, mediocre, all well.
He sat on the first floor, staring at the appliances that were piled up everywhere, unrepaired, or repaired.
"Xiaoyan, what are you looking at? Don't you usually hate electrical appliances the most? After washing the dishes, Lin Yan, who saw that it was different from the past, was in a daze.
"Yes...... Is there one? It took Lin Yan three seconds to come back to his senses.
Mom shook her head and walked away. I don't know what's going on today, the two of them are not normal at home.
Xiaoyan may be in love, but what's the matter with the old man. When he returns, be sure to ask. My mother, who went upstairs to watch a soap opera, was secretly determined.
