Chapter 3 "Capable Man" Liu Jianjun
Liu Yufan's father's name is Liu Jianjun, is a teacher in Shuangshanzi Middle School, because he teaches physics, understands some simple electrician maintenance knowledge, plus he likes to study electrical appliances, so he is half an electrician in Dazhai Village, who has a problem with the electrical appliances in the village, generally loves to find him to repair, buy new electrical appliances, and most of them are used to calling him to An, from this point of view, Liu Jianjun is a "capable person" in the village, Liu Yufan estimates that if his father goes to open an electrical repair shop or sell small household appliances, it is almost not less than the income he earns from work, It's just that my father's heart is too real, helping anyone repair electrical appliances is a volunteer worker, never confiscating a penny, and never accepting other people's things, so after so many years, in addition to a good popularity, this craft has not brought him any benefits.
Liu Yufan came out of the house and went straight to the fourth uncle's house. Liu Yufan's fourth uncle is called Liu Jiancheng, and he and his father are not brothers, but cousins. The fourth uncle will do some construction handiwork, all the year round outside with the construction team to work, although it is hard a year, but also a lot of money, in 1994 TV is still a rarity, not many people can afford it, who has a TV is a symbol of a good family. If Liu Yufan's family hadn't relied on his father's salary, coupled with his mother's thrifty housekeeping, he would have saved some hard-earned money, and he wouldn't have been able to buy this TV, and he couldn't have imagined that the fourth uncle would have bought it too. Liu Yufan didn't care about these things in his previous life, and he didn't know when their family bought them.
Liu Yufan went out of the gate, several children on the street were playing familiar games, boys were playing a game called "fried tiles", girls were dancing rubber bands, several boys were holding red, green and green "electric light whips" in their hands, one by one carefully placed, reluctant to finish at one time, everything made Liu Yufan feel so kind, but he didn't see a few good partners with him.
The fourth uncle's house is not far from Liu Yufan's house, only separated by four or five households, in the east. Liu Yufan soon came to the gate of his house, the white iron door was not closed, Liu Yufan pushed the door and walked in, just entered the door and heard the barking of the dog, a big yellow dog tied to the pillar of the cowshed, and barked at Liu Yufan, Liu Yufan naturally did not scare it, and kicked it with a gesture, and the yellow dog barked more happily.
The door of the house was quickly opened, and Liu Yufan's fourth aunt walked out of it, she was wearing a dark green cotton jacket, and her unkempt hair was casually tied behind her head.
"Xiaofan, I heard your father say that you caught a cold when you touched the fish jelly, what's wrong, is it better? Come and get inside. The fourth aunt's voice was very loud, and she pulled Liu Yufan into the house as she spoke.
"It's okay, Aunt Four, it's just a little cold, it's fine after taking the medicine, how many days has my fourth uncle been back? When are you leaving? Liu Yufan asked with a smile.
"Oh, that's a good relationship, your fourth uncle came back the day before yesterday, saying that he would leave after the fifteenth year, and there was no work on the construction site during the New Year." The fourth aunt was chatting with Liu Yufan for a while, and she was a little surprised by this nephew's performance today, usually this Liu Yufan is a little boring, and he doesn't like to talk much, but he actually took the initiative to chat with her today, and he spoke so naturally, this child is really sensible.
As soon as he entered the house of the fourth aunt's house, Liu Yufan heard a fragrance similar to his own home, the procedures for the New Year in Dazhai Village are almost the same, and the fourth aunt's house is also cooking meat and fried vegetables today.
"Fourth aunt, it's so fragrant, the dishes are all fried?" Liu Yufan sniffed and asked with a smile.
"It's almost the same, let's try how the fourth aunt is fried, is it delicious as your mother's cooking?" The fourth aunt was very happy when she saw Liu Yufan praising her fried dishes for being delicious, and found a bowl for Liu Yufan to fill it with.
"No need Fourth Aunt, I've eaten at home, don't be busy." Liu Yufan was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the fourth aunt.
"You kid, what's polite to the fourth aunt, eat it just fried." The fourth aunt said with a smile while stuffing the bowl into Liu Yufan's hand.
The elder couldn't give it away, Liu Yufan didn't be polite anymore, took the bowl and picked up a ball and threw it into his mouth, it was fragrant, it must have been meat, it seems that this fourth aunt is more generous than the old mother.
"Delicious!" Liu Yufan praised it, and then asked, "Fourth aunt, where is my father?" ”
"Hehe, let's find your dad to eat, in that house, tell your mom that your dad won't go back, just eat here, and you can also eat at the fourth aunt's house." The fourth aunt said with a smile, and then pointed towards the east house.
"That's embarrassing, hehe." Liu Yufan said with a smile, then put the bowl on the stove, lifted the curtain and walked in.
As soon as he entered the house, Liu Yufan was first choked by a smell of inferior tobacco, his body in this life has not been harmed by tobacco and alcohol, and his reaction to tobacco is very sensitive, Liu Yufan coughed a few times before he gradually adapted, looking at it, there were more than ten people crowded in the small room, both adults and children, and my father was fiddling with a brand-new black and white TV in the middle, and the screen was full of snowflakes.
"Yo, it's coming, hurry up and see how your dad got it, and follow along." The fourth uncle saw Liu Yufan, patted him on the shoulder and said. Subsequently, several other adults in the room also saw Liu Yufan and talked to tease him.
"Xiaofan, are you here for dinner with your father?" The second uncle, Ma Hua, spit out a puff of self-rolling dry smoke and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth at Liu Yufan.
"Yes, second uncle, you didn't play chess today." Liu Yufan asked with a smile, this second master is a chess fan, he has itchy hands if he doesn't touch chess for a day, and he is also the chess king of Dazhai Village, his chess skills are very high, and few people in the village can play him.
"Don't you watch your dad pretend to be on TV, watch the news broadcast in a while." The second uncle said with a smile, very satisfied with Liu Yufan's cleverness and politeness.
Liu Yufan's father, Liu Jianjun, heard his son's voice, turned to look at him, and asked casually, "How is the cold better?" ”
"Okay, there's nothing to do, and I haven't done it yet." Liu Yufan looked at the snowflakes on a screen and asked.
"It's coming." Liu Jianjun's father continued to bow his head and fiddle with the antenna as he spoke.
At this time, Liu Yufan's eyes saw two guys sitting on the kang and playing "catch the car" with playing cards, and the two guys saw Liu Yufan and immediately came up.
"Xiaofan, you're okay." The one who spoke was a small man with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, with a fine self-curl, very likable, but he was thin and small, and he looked a little malnourished, he was wearing similar to Liu Yufan, and it was also a green stall uniform, but it was more torn than Liu Yufan's, and it was already a little white after washing a lot of water, and there was a small patch on the left knee. This guy's name is Wang Xiaoyong, and he is the child of Liu Yufan's second aunt next door.
Wang Xiaoyong and Liu Yufan have a very good relationship, usually play together, this kid is very skillful, the slingshot is particularly good, and he can also make foreign muskets, Liu Yufan has a foreign musket he sent, which also makes other friends hot, in this materially barren era, foreign muskets are the most luxurious toys for children.
"It's been fine, you kid didn't catch a cold, I remember your shoes were wet." Liu Yufan asked with a smile, he remembered that it was this kid's idea to go fishing in the river, and of course, Lu Jian, who was standing behind him, also had a share.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm playing with the thrifty head to catch the big car, just when you're here, let's hit fifty k." Wang Xiaoyong knew that Liu Yufan liked to play fifty k, and said excitedly.
"Don't play, I'll eat in a while." Liu Yufan said, and looked at Liu Jian, who was standing behind Wang Xiaoyong in a daze, this guy was taller and stronger, wearing a black hand-sewn coarse cloth clothes, and his head was like an eastmelon. Fortunately, Liu Yufan knew that Liu Jian had always been like this, and he didn't care, but felt very kind.
"Son of Heaven, show you something good!" Wang Xiaoyong said a little mysteriously, and then reached out and took out an object from behind his waist.
"Wow! Xiao Yong, when did you do it, show me quickly! Seeing the wooden musket in Wang Xiaoyong's hand, Liu Jian's eyes straightened, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand, but Wang Xiaoyong dodged with his hand.
"Don't mess it up for me." Wang Xiaoyong said cautiously, then handed it to Liu Yufan with confidence, and said angrily: "Yes, I did it for a week to do it." ”
Liu Yufan took Wang Xiaoyong's "baby" with some amusement, the wooden butt was selected as a branch of the poplar tree, the outer bark has been peeled clean, revealing the white xylem, the firing pin made of thick wire is sharpened very straight, and the "gun barrel" made of a few thick motorcycle chains looks very powerful, usually the "gun barrel" of the foreign musket is made of the chain of the bicycle, the chain of the motorcycle is not easy to find, and I don't know where he found it, three leather bands made of the bicycle belt pull the barrel and the firing pin tightly, If the ordinary foreign musket is a luxury for children, then this obviously "majestic" much more strengthened version of the foreign musket can be called an "artifact".
This foreign musket also evoked many childhood memories of Liu Yufan, he was childlike, he took two guys to the outside of the house, and fired several shots in a row, smelling the faint smell of sulfur, the corners of Liu Yufan's eyes were a little wet. A precious childhood, only when you lose it can you know how to cherish it.
After playing for a while, the current Liu Yufan is not a child's state of mind after all, and he quickly thought of his "business". When I entered the house, I saw that my father was still fiddling there, but there was still a snowflake on the TV, and I felt a little strange in my heart, why it hadn't been good for so long, not at my father's level.
"Dad, it's not okay yet." Liu Yufan looked at his father who was fiddling with the antenna and asked.
"It's fast, strange, why hasn't this TV been fine-tuned?" Dad muttered to himself.
Looking at his father's frowning and thoughtful expression, and then looking at the TV, Liu Yufan was happy, stepped forward to squeeze through the crowd, and said to his father: "Dad, let me get it." ”
