Chapter 9 Left and Right
The winter rain finally stopped, and the sky gradually cleared.
In the backyard of the "Taichang" trading house, He Shuisheng, a 30-year-old truck driver, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the Chevrolet pickup truck imported from the United States that had just been driving for half a year suddenly couldn't move.
He Shuisheng, who was helpless, suddenly remembered that when he chatted with Liang Zai not long ago, he heard him say that his car was bulky and backward and he quarreled with him a few words, it seemed that this Liang boy with superb mechanical repair skills knew how to repair cars, so He Shuisheng, who was in a hurry, strode into the No. 4 warehouse with the mentality of trying his luck, and regardless of An Yi being guiding the two apprentices to disassemble the sewing machine, he pulled An Yi over and said loudly: "Liang Zai, go out with me." โ
"What's going on?"
An Yi, who is called Liang Zi from top to bottom of the trading house, has improved his Cantonese conversation skills very quickly after hard training, especially after the shopkeeper Chen summoned two local apprentices to him a month ago, An Yi benefited a lot from the two apprentices who could not speak Mandarin.
Maybe it was because his car broke down and he was embarrassed to say anything, He Shuisheng pulled An Yi all the way to the car in front of the No. 2 garage and whispered: "Pretty boy, didn't I hear you talk about repairing the car last time?" How about helping me see? You can repair so many complicated imported machines, I guess there is also some way to do it, right? โ
An Yi looked at the water and the car, knowing that the arrogant He Shuisheng would never ask for help when he was at the end of the mountain, although this was just an old-fashioned Chevrolet with a load of one and a half tons, but in the entire city of Guangzhou, there would never be more than fifty, and he could drive such a car that everyone envied on the road, but he was very proud, and the pride, that sense of superiority was incomparable, and it was estimated that it was better than driving a Mercedes-Benz 600 in later generations.
An Yi thought about it and finally decided to help out, although He Shui was usually arrogant and didn't even let him in the front of the car once, but at this moment, seeing the sweaty Shui Sheng's face full of pleading, and the carriage was full of goods, An Yi still dispelled the psychology of watching the excitement and said give it a try. After asking Shui Sheng about the malfunction, he stepped forward to open the heavy hood and instructed Shui Sheng to enter the cab and start it a few times, and Shui Sheng also changed his arrogance and complied one by one.
"Flutter-"
The pressure of the water tank increased suddenly, and the sealing ring of the melted water tank cover emitted a mist, which attracted the exclamation of seven or eight workers such as Mr. Ou, and frightened the aquatic life, who was only five months old and had only five months of driving at home. An Yi did not show any panic, but took the soft cloth to wipe the car and covered the water tank, walked to the corner of the wall and moved a stack of green bricks to stuff under the wheels, and then took the tools and climbed on the front of the car against the water mist to play with them one by one, checked the spark plug and ignition wire and installed them as they were, and then checked the air motor and cooling water circulation system, and found that there was no problem and felt puzzled, jumped out of the car and squatted in front of the water tank and thought for a while, and suddenly found that there was an oil stain on the ground in the middle of the bottom of the car, and the turbid engine oil was still dropping to the ground.
An Yi lay on his back on the ground and got into the bottom of the car in full view of everyone, and immediately saw that the oil pan of the transmission toothbag that had been injured had cracked a hole more than two inches long, and the remaining engine oil was falling drop by drop, so he also judged the reason why the engine hair hot water tank could not be started. The cautious An Yi climbed out and explained the fault situation to the anxious aquatic life. Shui Sheng suddenly realized, and immediately told An Yi that due to the continuous rain, the road was sunken, and he must have been hit by the raised stones on the rugged road after walking on the old road in the eastern suburbs after being fully loaded.
An Yi nodded and asked: "The seam of the oil pan is not small, it has to be welded and repaired, is there an auto repair shop in Guangzhou City?" โ
"How? Who has the ability to open a car repair shop? If the car is broken, it will be driven to the Shaji maintenance point driven by the foreigners, but those foreigners are very arrogant, if our car is sent in, I am afraid that we will not want to repair it every month, alas! It's all my fault, if the technology of choosing the road surface is better, it won't hit the oil pan, this is a new car that has just been bought for half a year, what if you let the owner know...... "Shui Sheng is so anxious.
"Do you know anyone in the shipyard on the south bank of Baietan?" An Yi thought for a while and asked.
Shui Sheng jumped up happily: "I know, my fourth uncle is working as a plumber, now it's okay!" โ
An Yi smiled: "That's good, I'll remove the oil pan later, you can take it and find someone to help, I'll stay and help you check the other parts and lines, if it goes well, you can drive away in the afternoon." โ
"Great! Pretty boy, after repairing, I will invite you to Yuexianglou for three days of morning tea. โ
An Yi didn't say anything and got under the car again, took the tools handed by Shui Sheng and quickly unloaded the damaged oil pan, and Shui Sheng rushed to the shipyard with the damaged parts. An Yi wiped his hands and returned to the No. 4 warehouse, carefully guided the two diligent apprentices to arrange the work, and returned to the car again and climbed into the front of the car. Looking at the lively workers, they knew that An Yi still had great skills in repairing cars, and seeing that An Yi's eyes were full of admiration, even the ninth uncle, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, also came, and couldn't help but praise An Yi's frequent nods. You must know that in the current city of Guangzhou, it is a great thing to be able to repair imported machinery, and few Chinese can pull aside these skills that only foreign technicians can do, let alone repair expensive cars.
Manager Ou dispersed the onlookers, and stood in the shade of the tree with Uncle Jiu and watched the busy An Yi and whispered, thinking that his firm was too lucky to be able to recruit such a baby. After a while, a black American sedan slowly drove into the yard from the side door of the backyard, and Manager Ou and Uncle Nine immediately hurried up to meet them when they saw it, and said hello to Ou Yaoting and others, the owner of the car.
A long-haired girl about seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a lilac floral jacket saw Uncle Nine hurriedly go up, pulled Uncle Jiu's arm and asked for warmth, only to see that her complexion was better than snow, her face was beautiful, her body was graceful and dignified, and her big eyes were shining brightly, which made Uncle Jiu's old eyes squint into a line.
Ou Yaoting, who was wearing a black imported camel hair coat, leaned on his gold-wire glasses, pointed to the two legs exposed under the truck, and asked unhappily: "Manager Ou, what's going on with the aquatic life?" How did a car break down after just a few months of driving? โ
"It's suddenly broken, but it's not aquatic under the car, it's the kid Fu Anyi, the master in our industry. Owner, this guy is amazing! The car couldn't move, Shui Sheng was so anxious that he couldn't jump up and down, and after calling this kid, he found out the damage in three clicks and two clicks. We've been watching, this kid seems to be able to fix cars, he's very skilled, he can name every part of those complicated machines after opening the front of the car, we don't understand many words, no, Aquatic took the damaged parts he removed to the shipyard to repair them, this guy filled up the water tank and checked the front of the car again and again, and finally got under the car to get it until now, we don't know what he's doing. It is rare for Mr. Ou to say so many words, and Ou Yaoting was also quite surprised to say such a large list at this moment, obviously An Yi's ability has shocked everyone, otherwise Mr. Ou, who is not surprised, would not be so excited.
Ou Yaoting nodded, but his good impression of An Yi in his heart increased, from the first time he watched An Yi deal with trouble from a distance at the door of the commercial house, Ou Yaoting faintly felt that this was a talent, as time went by, An Yi brought him more and more surprises, repairing various damaged machines in batches for Ou Yaoting to save tens of thousands of losses, and what is even more rare is that this young tall guy never takes credit for himself, never bargains, and works hard and complains. Ou Yaoting gave him a monthly salary of 38 yuan per month from the second month, and this guy didn't see any excitement, he was calm about everything, as if he didn't care about his own interests at all, which made Ou Yaoting uncertain for a while. Therefore, today I took the opportunity to take my baby daughter home, Ou Yaoting deliberately came here to take a look without saying hello, but he didn't expect to surprise him again.
"Mr. Ou stays, don't call him, take me to the place where the machine is repaired." Ou Yaoting had a little more heart, her baby daughter meekly supported Uncle Nine to follow behind, and asked about An Yi in a low voice as she walked, looking very curious, and Uncle Nine also replied in a low voice with a loving smile.
The two apprentices saw that Mr. Ou brought the big boss in, and hurriedly got up and bowed, standing there looking very nervous.
Ou Yaoting glanced at the orderly space, nodded and turned to the apprentice, asked the names of the two kindly, and asked the shrewd young man named Ah Hua: "I heard that Manager Ou said, you have been here for almost a month, how are you?" What have you learned? โ
Ah Hua replied nervously, "Yes...... It can be disassembled and assembled. โ
"Oh? Not bad! Ou Yaoting smiled slightly: "How does your little master usually treat you?" Is there a hidden hand that doesn't teach you? โ
Ah Hua shook his head: "Master An is very good to us, as soon as he comes, he will show us more than 30 drawings drawn by himself, and after three days, when we all understand it, he will teach us to disassemble the machine...... It's just that after he knew that the two of us were older than him, he wouldn't let us call him master, but brother, and we were very unaccustomed to it. โ
Ou Yaoting nodded with satisfaction: "Can you show me the drawings drawn by your master?" โ
Another apprentice named Ah Zhi was very clever, and soon brought a roll of yellow kraft paper and opened it on the desktop in front of Ou Yaoting, Ou Yaoting was surprised when he only saw the first one, he saw such a delicate and standard hand-made drawing for the first time, especially the many symbols and signs on it surprised him, such as "ยค", "mm", contour lines, error and other measurement marks, which shocked the big boss who returned from studying in France, and he knew that if he had not received a Western-style professional education, Anyone who has not studied trigonometric solid geometry will never have this level.
As the Seiko drawings unfolded, Ou Yaoting's brows tightened more and more, and the neat fonts and beautiful Arabic numerals on the drawings were like letters, all of which made him have many questions about this young man of unknown origin at the bottom of his company.
"Dad, this is incredible! These drawings are better than those drawn by the teachers of our academy, a wandering beggar with no academic qualifications...... How is this possible? Could it be that the guy surnamed Ann got it back from somewhere else? Beautiful Miss Ou's eyes were full of suspicion.
"Miss, you can't wronged my master, these are all hand-drawn by my master, you wait......" The honest Ah Zhi, who had not dared to open his voice, spoke, and he quickly took a small drawing from the desktop next to the wall and opened it in front of Miss Ou: "You see, this is the drawing of the improvement of the bearing seat of the rolling machine drawn by my master yesterday afternoon, and Ah Hua and I have been watching him draw on the side, and the master said while drawing, it would be nice if there were professional drawings, and the speed could be more than doubled." โ
Ou Yaoting took the drawings and looked at them carefully in his daughter's surprised eyes: "There is a level!" One small improvement simplifies two parts, remarkable! Genius...... Daughter, it's true, you see, although these drawings are cut flat, they are all machine wrapping paper, and a real technician will not use such inferior paper. โ
Uncle Nine stepped forward and said with emotion: "Dongjia, Ah Zhi is my grandson, every day when I go back, he tells me what he has learned, I am very pleased to see my grandson learn skills day by day!" Master Xiao Yi didn't hide any secrets, and took two apprentices wholeheartedly, and now Ah Zhi and Ah Hua can read and repair by themselves, and they can get answers to questions they don't understand. The owner, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not? โ
"Uncle Nine, you watched me grow up, what can't the family say?" Ou Yaoting has great respect for this old man who has served his family all his life.
Uncle Nine nodded and said earnestly: "I have to keep such a treasure!" Although he has not been here for a long time, his contributions are obvious to all, everyone looked down on him at the beginning, and now everyone respects him, which is rare! The day before yesterday, I saw that Mr. Hans, the deputy manager of the German "Lu Lin" foreign company, came to Xiao Yi again, at first I heard that Hans did not believe the words of the shopkeeper Chen, and thought that our people would never have such a high level of repair, so I ran over to see for myself, and Xiao Yi stayed for an afternoon, and then came twice again, until the day before yesterday with a small roll of brown paper and hurriedly left. The owner, I'm worried that foreigners have taken a fancy to Xiao Yi, foreigners are rich and willing to spend money, the income of the locals who work in foreign banks is good, and the sweepers can also get a monthly salary of 18 yuan, and the sales are terrible, the minimum monthly salary is 80 yuan, and there is a dividend commission, and the comprador is higher. So I'm worried that Xiao Yi is young and his surname is unstable, maybe he will change jobs in a daze, and if that happens, we will lose a lot. โ
Ou Yaoting nodded: "What Uncle Nine said is that it seems that we have to pay attention." Okay, it's almost lunch time, and I won't see An Yi if there are guests at home. โ
"Slow down!"
Ou Yaoting walked out of the No. 4 warehouse and suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Ah Hua, who was sent out: "What did that Hans say to your master the day before yesterday?" I remember that this Hans was very young, just came to Guangzhou from Germany for a few months, and he didn't speak Cantonese or Mandarin yet, how did the two of them communicate? โ
"I can tell that he speaks English, Hans's English is very good, the master's English is not very good, and he stammers, but the master can even understand Hans with a drawing, especially the drawings drawn by the master, Hans understands it at a glance, and gives the master a thumbs up." Ah Hua obviously admired his master.
"He speaks English? I see...... Manager Ou, you inform An Yi on my behalf, I will invite him to dinner tonight, and the place is in the Yuexiang Mansion next door to us. Ou Yaoting made up his mind that he must meet this hidden young man, and everything must be discussed after meeting.
Manager Ou hurriedly replied: "I remember, I'll tell him later." โ
Ou Yaoting nodded and turned to leave, got into the car and saw his baby daughter staring at the side ahead, Ou Yaoting looked at the situation, An Yi didn't know when he was standing six meters away, his clothes were full of oil and dust, and he looked at his daughter like an evil.
Miss Ou saw An Yi's dirty clothes and a confused pig on his face, and scolded angrily as a "hooligan". The car turned around and drove out of the yard, and Miss Ou said angrily: "Dad, what point can that surnamed An show that he is honest and loyal?" The whole person is sloppy and sloppy, like a hooligan, hum! โ
"Haha! Who made my baby daughter so pretty? Don't talk about An Yi, Dad sees you like an angel. โ
"Dad, you're here again!"
"Haha! So, you go to dinner with your father tonight, and we'll see how much material this An Yi has......"
