The business of the repair shop is getting better and better, and Liu Jun officially named the shop "Limin Electrical Appliance Maintenance Service Department". A very modest name, in line with the current environment.

Less than a month after opening, more than ten second-hand tape recorders and radios were sold, plus repair costs, the net profit reached more than 1,000 yuan, and Liu Jun and Fang Wenti were half of each other. With this unprecedented "huge amount of money" in his arms, Fang Wenti sometimes wakes up laughing even when he sleeps.

The business was quite large-scale at the time. Relying on Liu Jun alone, he can't be busy no matter what. Helplessly, Fang Wenti is inherently insensitive to reading, and he has always learned radio principles very sloppily. can only learn from the same, what problems Liu Jun taught him to fix, he will only do this, there is no theoretical basis, and he can't draw inferences from one another. After a few days of teaching, little progress was made, and he couldn't help but be discouraged, so he handed over the clumsy work of disassembling the machine, testing, and cleaning the components, and Liu Jun was only responsible for repairing and assembling second-hand electrical appliances. Rao is like this, at least four or five hours of time to stay in the store every day, the holiday is still reluctant, once the school starts, is it difficult to skip school every day? Besides, Liu Junzhen said that he would spend his time in this small repair shop, although the income is very high, it is still not cost-effective in comparison, and it may be more useful to use this time to learn more knowledge in the future.

Yoo Joon decides to hire a helper.

Tell Fang Wenti about this thought, but this guy is squeaky and unhappy.

Liu Jun groaned for a moment, and then he was stunned.

In their combination, Fang Wenti has neither technical advantages, nor financial advantages, nor backing, and the reason why Liu Jun is looking for him to partner is purely because he is too young and wants to use him as a cover. If you recruit a helper, he will almost become a superfluous person. Yoo Joon can kick him out of the way at any time.

Knowing this, Yoo Jun laughed.

"It's not going to work. Do you still want to live on this small shop for the rest of your life? Tell you, I have a big heart, as long as you don't have a crooked heart, let's do it together, and if there is mine, you will have yours. ”

It doesn't sound like it came from the mouth of a nine-year-old child, but it looked like the tone of a big brother on the road.

Fang Wenti was very calm and believed that Liu Jun had a bright future in the future. Imagine that it is already so good now, no matter how old you are, it will not be a thing in the pool.

"Okay, young master, whatever you say is what you say, my cripple will follow you in this life."

Liu Jun thought about it and decided to call his second cousin Liu Zhaomin to help. He is fifteen years old this year, he has not gone to school early, and he earns six points of work every day in the brigade, which is not enough for himself to eat.

Although the second brother does not study, he is extremely intelligent and skillful, so it is just right to be a helper in this repair shop.

When someone comes to Liujiashan, ask them to bring a message. From Liu Jincai to the deputy director of the county revolutionary committee, Liu Jiashan and several nearby brigades often came to visit.

At this time, Liu Jun couldn't help but think of the communication tools of later generations. Well, I don't know when the phone first appeared, and I don't remember the specific year. It is estimated to be around 90 years. As for the pandemic, it's going to be ninety-eight or ninety-nine, and it's still a decade or two away.

Coincidentally, as soon as Liu Jun returned home, his brother-in-law Ruan Chenglin was also there, and he was still holding a copy of "Baozhou Daily" in his hand.

Liu Jun immediately understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle, come to receive the manuscript fee again?" ”

Ruan Chenglin smiled embarrassedly.

Ruan Bixiu glanced at her son with a smile and said, "Your brother-in-law is really promising, he just published an article in the provincial newspaper, and now he has published an article in the "Baozhou Daily", and it is all purely theoretical. ”

Ruan Bixiu knew about Liu Jun's writing of his uncle's manuscript. But naturally she won't say it. When it comes to the future of the younger brother, how can you talk nonsense? Yan Yucheng and Lao Liu Jincai meant that they wanted to open a column or a series in the provincial newspaper, but the essay collection activity has not ended, and they have not yet taken action for the time being.

With these two articles at the bottom, Ruan Chenglin's work has considerable hope.

"Uncle, you're amazing."

Yoo Jun raised his thumb and seemed to know nothing about the inside story. Pretending to be to such a realm can be regarded as a very good foundation.

Ruan Chenglin was still tender after all, and he was embarrassed to rub his hands.

"Uncle, have you received the manuscript fee?"

"Got it."

"Then you don't have a treat?"

Ruan Bixiu knocked on her son and scolded with a smile: "Your brother-in-law finally has a few dollars in his pocket, so you make up your mind?" I made braised pork tonight, which is enough for you to satisfy your cravings. Later, I will call Aunt Xie and Uncle Yan to come to the house for dinner. ”

Yan Liu's two families live close to each other and have a close relationship, and it is common for each other to invite each other to have a meal.

The relationship between the first and second leaders is so harmonious, it is a taboo thing to be in the big yamen above the region, but the county-level team is not so conspicuous.

Liu Jun suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but pat his head, and hurriedly ran out.

Ruan Bixiu shouted: "It's time to eat, what are you going to do when you run out?" ”

"Go and go back, soon."

Liu Jun promised to buy a set of books for Yan Fei, but it dragged on for several days, and if he didn't honor it, he would be hated. Thinking of Yan Fei's delicate appearance of pursing her red and glamorous little lips, there was a ripple in her heart for no reason.

I trotted all the way to Xinhua Bookstore, fortunately it was not closed yet, but there were few people left. The salesman stared at Yoo Jun very unkindly, probably thinking that he was an elementary school student who came here to read comic books.

At this age in his previous life, Liu Jun often did this kind of thing. After school, I ran to the Xinhua bookstore early and picked out my favorite comic book for an hour or two, which was inevitably driven away by the salesperson very impatiently. Fortunately, there is far more than one child who mixes with the comic books, and everyone is very persevering, fighting wits and courage with the salesman, fighting guerrilla warfare, and most of the time they can win.

Liu Jun soon fell in love with a set of "Journey to the West" published by Shanghai Fine Arts Publishing House, a full set of ten volumes. It is expected that Yan Fei will like this set of comic books. When Liu Jun took out a large piece of solidarity and went to the counter to pay the bill, the salesman was very surprised, and stared at him for a while. At that time, there were not many people who could casually pull out a big unity.

Seeing Liu Jun's calm and relaxed look, the salesman didn't ask much after all.

Back at home, Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai hadn't gotten off work yet, and Xie Ying and Yan Fei arrived first. Ruan Bixiu was busy in the kitchen, and Xie Ying was like an ordinary housewife, leaning on the kitchen door frame and chatting with Ruan Bixiu with relish.

Yan Fei sat there, flipping through the newspaper a little bored.

With her age, the party newspaper really didn't arouse much interest in her. Seeing the villain book in Liu Jun's hand, the little girl immediately cheered.

"Ah, "Journey to the West", look good......"

Liu Jun shrank his hand narrowly and said with a smile: "What's the matter, forgot what we said good?" ”

"Thank you, Brother Yoo Jun!"

Yan Fei's little face smiled like a flower and exclaimed sweetly.

Sweat!

originally thought that the little girl was tender and would definitely pay the bill. Who knew that people were so honest and obedient, and Liu Jun was blushing. Seeing that Ying looked over in surprise, Liu Jun was embarrassed, and hurriedly stuffed all the "Journey to the West" into Yan Fei's hands, and turned his face away.

If Xie Ying knew that she would take a few villain books to bargain for her daughter, it would not be fun. It doesn't matter if you offend your old father-in-law, if you offend your mother-in-law, it will be difficult for your son-in-law to endure it.

After a while, Yan Yucheng and Liu Jin came back from work, and the two families gathered around a table to eat. Ruan Bixiu's cooking skills are quite average, but the portions have always been very large. A whole large plate of braised pork was served, and I was afraid that there would be two or three catties of meat, and my saliva would flow down in public.

It was not the first time Xie Ying had eaten at Liu's house, but it was the first time she saw Liu Jun gobbling up meat for the first time, and she was surprised and amused.

"Bixiu, Xiaojun's appetite is better than Jincai's."

"My dad doesn't exercise, but I practice hard qigong with Section Chief Liang every day, half an hour a day to punch with horse steps, 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups, don't eat more, where can I eat ......"

Liu Jun replied vaguely as he swallowed two pieces of braised pork and swallowed it.

"Well, I heard that this Xiao Liang was a famous martial artist in Fenglin Commune before joining the army, and he has been a scout in the army for many years, so it seems that he does have some skills, and the security work of the compound of the county revolutionary committee is very good...... Minister Wu transferred him by name to be the head of the security section, which is very discerning. ”

Yan Yucheng also had a very good impression of Section Chief Liang.

Liu Jun said with a smile: "Since Minister Wu has the wisdom to understand people, uncle, you should also let him share some of the work at hand." ”

"Good boy, he is getting more and more nose in the face, and even dares to interfere in the division of labor of the county revolutionary committee."

Yan Yucheng scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, just casually. Do you like to listen or not? The county revolutionary committee is now the eight chief and deputy directors, right? Even numbers may not be in line with organizational principles. ”

Yan Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Liu Jincai.

Liu Jincai nodded.

It is customary for team members to be odd in order to facilitate voting. Yan Yucheng has been thinking about making up a deputy director, and he can't make up his mind for a while. Wu Qiuyang was classified into the Wang faction before, but compared with Zheng Xingyun, he had a closer relationship with Wang Benqing. It has never been Wang Benqing's descendant. This man is more upright, very principled, and has old qualifications. In other counties, the organization ministers are all deputy directors. It is very logical to add him to the team of the county revolutionary committee, and there is no need to worry about what pimples he has in his heart, he is really a good candidate.

However, Yan Yucheng was reluctant to discuss such an important personnel issue at the dinner table, and changed the topic with a smile.

"Cheng Lin, that's good, the pen is quite good. In the future, I can be a good helper for your brother-in-law. ”

Ruan Bixiu was immediately overjoyed.

Inviting Yan Yucheng's family over for dinner today, I originally had this meaning, and I wanted to help Ruan Chenglin say a few words. Bi Liu Jincai wants to avoid suspicion. Who knew that Yan Yucheng actually took the initiative to mention it, and it seemed that Ruan Chenglin's secondment as a state worker was a foregone conclusion, so he didn't like it?

Liu Jun originally had some ideas to talk to Yan Yucheng, but he thought about it or forget it. At present, the two of them have only been in office for more than a month, and the layout has just begun, and it is far from being completed. It is still more prudent to grasp the implementation of one thing at a time. If you spread the stall too wide all at once, it is inevitable that there will be no mistakes. Liu Jun's ideas are mainly about developing the local economy, the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee has not yet been convened, and the market economy has not been started at all.

Let's first tinker with the "Limin Maintenance Service Department", and the right is to explore the way.

The next day was Sunday, and Xie Ying came early in the morning to ask Ruan Bixiu to go shopping. Ruan Bixiu worked as a deputy instructor at the police station, and her working hours were originally irregular. Unlike the Education Commission, Sundays are thunderous and you have to rest. Fortunately, the leaders of the Public Security Bureau insisted that Ruan Bixiu take care of Director Liu on Sundays.

Yoo Jun had just returned from a workout and finished breakfast.

"Liu Jun, come with us to play, my family wants to buy a TV."

Yan Fei wore a goose-yellow dress, tied two bows, and jumped behind Xie Ying, very excited.

Yan Yucheng became the leader of Xiangyang County, and it was very appropriate to buy a black and white TV at home. This is also in 1978, and if it is ten years later, why do you need to do these things yourself? I don't know how many people will fight to serve her.

"Okay, where do I go to buy a TV?"

"I don't know, Mom knows."

Xie Ying smiled: "Where else can I go, Wujiaohua Company." Quanxiangyang County is the only TV set that sells there. ”

It can be seen that Ruan Bixiu is a little reluctant. The burden of the Liu family is heavier than that of Yan Yucheng's family, and seeing people buying TVs, I can't help but feel a little lost. It's just inconvenient to sweep away Ying's face.

The store department of Wujiaohua Company has not been built recently, and it is on the edge of the old street, not far from Qingshanling. This area between Lao Cai and Qingshan Ling will be developed into a prime location in Xiangyang New Town in the future. At the moment, it's still relatively biased.

There are some goods on the counter, far from being dazzling, there are only two brands of TVs, the "Yanjing brand" produced in Tianjin and the "Kai Clicquot brand" produced by Shanghai Radio No. 4 Factory, there are only two models, 12-inch black and white screen and 14-inch black and white screen.

Not long after I started work, there were very few customers in the store department, but there were about a dozen salespeople, most of them were middle-aged women, and there were also one or two young people. Chatting together, the guests entered the door without raising their eyebrows a little, completely ignoring.

In the era of planned economy, the salesmen were all state workers, and they were consciously superior to others as they ate the imperial grain, and the sense of service was completely unspeakable. It wasn't until Liu Jun and they stood in front of the electrical counter for at least a minute or two that Xie Ying opened his mouth to ask, that a female saleswoman in her thirties reluctantly walked over and asked impatiently, "What are you doing?" ”

Although Xie Ying is nearly forty years old, she has been working in the county, she is well maintained, and she likes to dress up, so she looks quite charming. The salesman's eyes were full of jealousy when he looked at her.

"Comrade, which is better, a Veuve Clicquot TV or a Yanjing TV?"

"It's pretty much the same."

When the salesman heard that he was buying a TV, his tone was more polite. After all, there are not many people who can afford to buy a TV set in Xiangyang County.

Yoo Jun laughed. It is estimated that this salesman can't afford to buy a TV at home, so he really can't tell which one is better.

"Aunt Xie, buy Kaige's. Although the Yanjing brand is old, the technical force of Shanghai radio manufacturers is stronger than that of Tianjin, and the quality is more guaranteed. ”

Xie Ying smiled: "How do you know?" ”

"His dad used to be a radio player, and he taught him these things."

Ruan Bixiu explained with a smile, a little proud.

"Okay, let's buy the Veuve Clicquot one, buy the bigger one. How much? ”

The specifications and models of the TV, not many people know at that time, and Xie Ying can't figure out the difference between 12 inches and 14 inches.

"Six hundred and four."

Liu Jun was taken aback, the 14-inch color TV was only two or three hundred yuan in his memory. But then I remembered,That was after the price of color TVs plunged in the 21st century。 At that time, the cost of domestic production of TV sets was still quite high. It is understandable that black-and-white televisions will be more expensive than color televisions thirty years later.

Xie Ying nodded, Wujiaohua Company is a state-owned unit, and there is no problem of bargaining.

"Aunt Xie, wait a few days."

Liu Jun said suddenly.

"Why?"

Liu Jun smiled and said, "The picture tube I bought will arrive in a few days, I will install two 14-inch TVs, and we will ...... each of them";
