As for the role of these tools.

Most of them are used to remove old tires.

I walked to the gate with my tools and was about to do it, but the bell of a bicycle came from the country road.

When I looked up, I saw that my father had returned.

When the melon saw it, he hurriedly ran over: "Dad, Dad! ”

"Really?" Liu Dazhao hurriedly got off the bicycle, picked up the melon seeds and sat on the horizontal bar in front of him: "Then you and your brother have sold out of river snails and river crabs today." ”

"It's sold out, it's all snatched up!" replied with a tilted little head.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Dazhao was suddenly struck: "Is it as easy to sell as you said?" It's not that he hasn't been to the city to buy river snails, and he almost didn't kill him.

"Absolutely. The melon seed handed the twist flower in his little hand to Liu Dazhao's mouth: "Dad, you are also just right, but it is fragrant." ”

"Hey!" Liu Dazhao was moved by the heart-warming behavior of melon seeds, and after a shallow taste of twist flowers, he pushed the bicycle to the grain drying field, and then walked to the kitchen door with melon seeds in his arms: "Child, Wang Mazi will be buried tomorrow morning, and remember to go to the banquet in the afternoon!"

"Who are you taking with you?" Zhou Qiuxiang walked out of the kitchen, holding a spatula in her hand.

She had five children in her family, and it was impossible to bring them all along.

You can only bring a maximum of two, and that's for the sake of other villagers bringing their children on Sundays.

Otherwise, you can only bring one person to the banquet at most.

Now the question is not to eat the banquet, but who to take with you.

Because the palms and backs of the hands of the five children are full of meat, it is impossible to favor one over the other.

Liu Xing, who was tinkering with old tires, saw his mother's thoughts and said, "I won't go, I don't like to be lively." ”

"There's no way I'm going either, I'm married. Liu Dongju said with a smile.

"I'm not going either, I'm going back to school in the afternoon, and I'll be late for the banquet. Liu Ziran spoke softly, and then walked into the room.

Zhou Qiuxiang was a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene, she called out to Liu Ziran: "Second child, you stop, wait for the banquet, you go with melon seeds, today is Sunday, what book to read." ”

"Mom, what about me!" asked Liu Ye, who came back from Guan Niu, a little unhappy.

"You feed the pigs at home, and when the time comes, you will receive the meat for you to eat. Zhou Qiuxiang glared at Liu Ye and said.

"Okay!" Liu Ye had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Mom, I don't have shoes to wear when I go to the banquet. Liu Ziran walked out with a pair of washed white cloth shoes.

On the top of the cloth shoes, two holes are vividly visible.

"This ...... Mom will make it up for you. Zhou Qiuxiang said softly.

"Oh. Liu Ziran bit his lip and nodded.

Obviously, she was extremely reluctant to wear patched shoes to the banquet.

It would be a joke to be seen by people in the same village like this.

Liu Dazhao felt that his father was very incompetent: "Child, don't patch it, wait for me to go to the village department, ask the village chief for a shoe ticket, and buy a pair of shoes for the second child to go to the supply and marketing cooperative!"

Going out and walking outside can't be too shabby.

Now that Liu Xing has made money, he naturally can't be stingy.

"What about me?" Liu Ye pointed to the straw sandals on his feet.

The melon seeds will also be picked up barefoot to show Liu Dazhao.

At this moment, Liu Dazhao had a headache, and he couldn't stand or sit while covering his forehead.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled: "Dad, when you go to the village to ask for shoes for the second sister, by the way, you also need some bills for the eldest sister! ”

"What's wrong with your eldest sister's house?" asked Liu Dazhao with a frown.

"That's the ......" Liu Xing told the eldest sister about the dilemma encountered by the family in front of the family, even if the eldest sister tried her best to stop it, he didn't care.

After all, if the eldest sister's family doesn't care anymore, it will really collapse.

Liu Dazhao listened carefully, and when he heard that his eldest daughter had suffered so many grievances at her mother-in-law's house recently, his angry face became gloomy, but he didn't get mad, but took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it.

In fact, he usually doesn't smoke at all, and this cigarette was obtained with the help of Wang Dazhu's house.

Now take it out and smoke it, proving that his emotions are extremely manic and extremely anxious.

I just don't want to show it in front of my children.

And cigarettes are a tool for cover-up.

Wait for Liu Xing to finish.

Zhou Qiuxiang couldn't cry anymore, he hugged Liu Dongju: "Girl, you suffered such unfair treatment at your mother-in-law's house, why don't you tell me!"

"Is it useful to say that? Isn't our family eating the last meal now? Liu Dongju choked up and replied.

"Eldest sister, I don't like to hear what you say, our family now eats meat every day, and drinks bone broth every day, your family can't compare. Liu Ye couldn't help but interject.

"You shut up Lao Tzu!" Liu Dazhao finally found the person who was angry, threw away the cigarette in his hand, picked up the bamboo stick on the ground and smoked it towards Liu Ye.

"Don't!" Liu Ye was so frightened that he turned around and fled, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Liu Dazhao still wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhou Qiuxiang: "Liu Zhao, don't toss the child, while it's still early, you can go to the village now, ask the village chief for some bills, if possible, I won't go to the banquet in the afternoon, just pick up daily necessities and help the eldest daughter get back face." ”

"Yes, the eldest sister and mother-in-law don't care about her, and us!" Liu Ziran said angrily.

"Yes, I'm not dead yet! I must not let the Zhao family bully my daughter like this. Liu Dazhao said and pushed the bicycle and rode towards the village.

"Remember to come back early for lunch. Zhou Qiuxiang admonished.

"Got it. Liu Dazhao waved his hand without looking back.

Zhou Qiuxiang sighed lightly, hugged Liu Dongju and didn't know what to say for a while, until the smell of burning came from the kitchen, and then quickly came back to her senses and ran in.

Liu Dongju also went into the kitchen to help with the apron, as for the second child to take care of, he was not worried at all.

Liu Xing sat under the eaves and disassembled the old tires.

Seeing the melon seeds sitting on the side and watching curiously, he smiled lightly and shook his head.

In fact, he dismantled the old tires, not to make pig troughs, but to use the rubber material inside the tires to make shoes.

This is not his whim, but there is a basis.

Before he was reborn, it was reported on the news on TV that African people used old tires to make slippers and sandals, and because the rubber quality of the tires was very good, the slippers and sandals made were very popular with the people.

Maybe he can't make very complicated shoes out of old tires, such as leather shoes, boots, etc., but he can still do it with slippers and sandals.

The reason why I am so confident is because after starting a family before I was reborn, I spent most of my time working in coastal areas.

The coastal areas are the most numerous, followed by shoe factories and garment factories.

Then there are leather factories and some private mold factories.

In order to make a living, Liu Xing once worked as an apprentice in a shoe factory of more than 20,000 people, and after knowing some basic processes, he entered the board room to make model shoes, and later jumped to a foreign-funded enterprise to make a model of casual shoes.

But he didn't have anything to lose, it was the boss who lost.

He was eventually poached by a private shoe factory.

That's five years.

In other words, he is very familiar with the shoemaking industry, and as long as there are materials and tools, it is not difficult to make a pair of shoes that can be worn.

Of course, he can't tell anyone about this, and if he does, he'll definitely be pulled into research like a guinea pig.

And before he was reborn, he knew not only the craftsmanship of a shoemaker, such as the parking space for working on a sewing machine, but also some simple mold manufacturing in a mold factory, as well as the maintenance of some large machinery and equipment, such as wine filling equipment, sewing machines, popular machine tools, planers for carpenters, nailing machines for hardware machinery, etc...... And so on, he's all familiar with it.

Suffice it to say that his life before he was reborn was like a big dye vat.

Basically everything happened to him.

Jobs in most industries have also been tried.

This rebirth came in the eighties.

Liu Xing found that these work experiences were the greatest wealth in his life.

As for money, that's a piece of!

As long as these work experiences are not forgotten, it is not a matter of minutes if he wants to make money.

Seeing that the old tire in his hand had been sawed open, Liu Xing hurriedly retracted his thoughts.

Then pick up scissors and cut off a layer of 'embossing' on the side of the old tire.

This cut almost didn't scare him.

There is still a steel wire in this old tire.

And it's intensive.

If this were to be put in a few decades, I am afraid it would not be possible.

There was no way, Liu Xing had to use a hacksaw to see off these useless imprints.

After sawing off, the layer of hard rubber on the outside of the old tire was disconnected from several layers inside, and a long piece of rubber was torn out by hand.

Liu Xing tested the softness with his hands, and saw that it was too soft to be used to make soles, so he put it aside and used the hacksaw to see the layer of hard rubber on the surface of the old tire again.

The rubber sawed this time is only a dozen centimeters long, and there are two pieces in total.

After sawing it down, he directly called out the melon seeds playing on the side: "Step on it, and my brother will draw a footprint for you." ”

"Hmm. "Melon seeds are curious though.

But it was done anyway.

After Liu Xing made the mark on the feet of the melon seeds, he used a hacksaw to sawed off the excess rubber along the mark.

In a few minutes, a pair of soles will appear in front of you.

These soles are two centimeters larger than the footprints of melon seeds, because they are made of hard rubber on the outside of old tires, and the quality is very good.

Liu Xing saw that there were a lot of hairs on the edges, and there were also steel wires exposed outside.

At that moment, he took out a file and sharpened it.

Once polished, the discarded bullet casings were used to knock out holes for mounting the 'shoe straps'.

This hole is not knocked randomly, it is necessary to leave half of it unknocked and then pierce it with sharp scissors, and the reason why this is done is to make it easier to install the straps and not to take them off.

The bullet casing was picked up at the shooting range in the mountain behind Zhangmu Middle School, and that was when I was studying in the first half of last year.

I wanted to pick it up and sell some pocket money for a few popsicles to eat, but in the end I forgot about it.

Now, after sharpening the edges of the bullet case, it is best to make holes in the straps for attaching the shoe.

Although the hole is a little bigger, it is already the best substitute for Liu Xing.

However, the hardness of the tire leather was still beyond his phenomenon, and the punching finally scrapped five bullet casings before it succeeded.

And after the hole is made, it is time to start making the 'shoe strap'.

This strap-on is not the lace found on casual shoes, but is made of soft rubber inside the tire leather.

The graphics have long been in Liu Xing's heart, so after he drew the pattern with paper and pen, he used scissors to cut it out.

Don't look at this step in front of him very easily, in fact, if you don't have several years of experience in board houses, you don't want to complete it.

The function of the shoe strap is to fix the feet worn on the slippers, so there are many kinds of patterns.

But now Liu Xing doesn't care about tricks, focusing on practicality and simplicity.

After polishing the burrs on the straps with a little gauze, I use a skillful knot to penetrate the holes in the sole, which requires a lot of method.

In the years when he was making model shoes in the board room, he didn't work out some complicated knotting methods.

But it's a lot easier for him.

Of course, now you don't need to knot the straps to make a practical pair of slippers.

You only need to be at the same level as the sole of your shoes, and you don't need to be awkward.

And, of course, it's practical.

Don't take two steps and let go, that's not going to work.
