Chapter 5 Repairing Electrical Appliances

Late at night.

Chen Cheng put his quilt under the bed and spread it out.

"You guys should sleep up there. It's cold outside. Don't let Nian Nian catch a cold. I'll sleep on the floor from now on!" Chen Cheng looked a little embarrassed.

The house they rented only had a kitchen and a small living room, and the room only had a bed of 1.2 meters, which was fine for two people, but the two adults felt it was a bit cramped.

So when Nian Nian was a little older, Chen Cheng always slept on the bed, and mother and daughter slept on the floor.

Shen Zhihua said nothing.

Turning off the lights, it instantly became dark.

"When I make money, I will rent you a better house." Chen Cheng's voice seemed to come from the darkness.

But after just one word, he fell silent again.

It seems like it’s just Chen Cheng talking in his sleep!

Yes, it’s definitely a dream talk!

Early the next morning, before Shen Zhihua got up, Chen Cheng had already started making breakfast.

"Sister!" Chen Cheng walked forward and found a woman about forty years old, and shouted sweetly.

"Sister, if you need any repairs in the future, you can come to me!" Chen Cheng accepted the money and was in a good mood.

After all, it was just for debugging and there was no need to replace anything, so Chen Cheng proposed such a price.

The young man has such a sweet mouth and knows how to talk.

"Uh... we don't have a store yet, but this is my address. If you need anything, you can go find me there. If I'm not at home, you can leave a note on the window sill with your address. I'll call you after I see it. I came to see you." Chen Cheng wrote an address to the woman.

After coming out of here, Chen Cheng looked at the dollar with a smile on his face.

The smell of meat came from the living room.

In this day and age, only ordinary people can own a TV!

Most people simply cannot afford such luxury goods!

"Yes!"

"Okay, come in!"

The woman couldn't help laughing when she heard this title.

When he picked it up and looked at it, his face lit up: "I won't jump anymore!"

Chen Cheng smiled.

At that time, if anyone had a TV at home, everyone in the village would go to their home to watch TV.

"Jumper, let me take a look first, okay?"

It wasn't until Chen Cheng's footsteps disappeared from home that Shen Zhihua opened his eyes.

"It depends on the situation. What's your problem?" Chen Cheng asked.

These are all resources, they come and go in the long run.

"Can you repair a sewing machine?"

"Hurry up and help me fix it!" the boss said, "I don't know why, but it can't be turned on. Please hurry up and help me check. I have to show the TV to everyone at night."

However, she still sat up with difficulty, finished washing, and took a look at the breakfast outside.

But sewing machines were basically equipped for people of that era!

At the end of 1983, cloth tickets were officially abandoned, but many housewives were still used to ripping cloth outside and making their own clothes at home.

The only option is to do the next best thing and have someone come to your home to repair electrical appliances.

The woman led Chen Cheng inside.

Not long after, breakfast was ready.

At this moment, a head suddenly popped out of a canteen, looked at Chen Cheng anxiously and asked: "Young man, can you repair a TV?"

So he can't do it in a short time.

"It's just a jumper!" the woman said.

Next, Chen Cheng started shouting along the street again.

"Okay, by the way, where is your repair shop?" Chen Cheng is cheap. If something like this happens in the future, the woman will still want to ask Chen Cheng to repair it.

The woman's face lit up with joy.

About two minutes later, after several adjustments, Chen Cheng put the things back.

That's how it is now. It's very inconvenient not to have a mobile phone.

"Small problem!" Chen Cheng said, "It should be a problem with the bobbin. I can debug it and it should be fine."

Don't underestimate debugging. This is a technical job that requires a lot of feeling. Sometimes you can't adjust it well even in a day.

It is a rice noodle soup commonly eaten by people in Guangdong Province. It is luxuriously covered with a few pieces of meat.

"Okay!" Chen Cheng said with a smile.

"How is it?" the woman asked.

The woman sat down and drove for a while.

"Let me take a look inside first!" Chen Cheng said and began to disassemble it.

After eating, Chen Cheng came in to take a look and said: "Zhihua, you and Niannian go to sleep slowly. I have put the breakfast there. If it gets cold later, you can just heat it up. I will

Went out to do some work."

"Okay, I'll charge you one yuan!" Chen Cheng said.

Nowadays, machine repair is a rare profession, but many times you really don’t know how to debug it, so you have to ask a machine repairman to do it. Even if it is a household sewing machine, it will cost at least three yuan to start. Chen Cheng’s price is already very reasonable.

From the 1970s, weddings consisted of bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios.

TV set?

Chen Cheng couldn't help but look at the canteen owner.

Almost every household now has a sewing machine.

After saying that, the others had already gone out.

And this is what he is good at!

Of course, in addition to repairing sewing machines, he actually knows many more things. After all, in his previous life, he taught himself many repair skills in order to live a decent life.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Cheng held a broken pot in one hand and a steel bar he found in the other. He knocked on it in the streets and alleys and shouted: "The sewing machine is being repaired, the electrical appliances are being repaired..."

In the 1980s, the three major wedding items were refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines.

"Look, that's how you jump the wires!" The woman picked up a piece of scrap cloth with the wires from her car on it.

She didn't sleep well that night because she had never done such physical work before, and her whole body was suffering from backache.

Chen Cheng's original idea was to open a small repair shop, but opening a shop requires money. With their current wealth, they might not even have the money to rent a shop.

There's nothing he can't do!

Of course, compared to three turns and one beep, refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines of this era are actually relatively rare.

"Young man, your skills are great!" The eldest sister was also a cheerful person. She took out a dollar and gave it to Chen Cheng, "Just adjust it like this. I can't adjust it well myself."

Chen Cheng smiled.

"Mom, there's meat!" Nian Nian seemed to have tears dripping from her mouth.

"Eat quickly, we have to go to work after eating!" Shen Zhihua murmured.

"Then...how much is it?" In that era, everyone was not rich and cared about money very much.

"What's the charging method?" the woman asked.

"Young man!" Just when Chen Cheng walked two streets and screamed out loud, a house finally opened the door and waved to Chen Cheng.

"Sister, come and try it!" Chen Cheng said.

But there is no other way, take your time!

"Okay, okay, your name is Chen Cheng, right? Oh, that's a pretty word!"

No, business is coming!

"Yes, yes!" Chen Cheng kept nodding, "Know how to practice!"

Seeing that the woman had no objection, Chen Cheng started to debug it.

"Boss, you're very kind." Chen Cheng asked with a smile.

"They come here to watch TV, and maybe they will buy my stuff." The shop owner chuckled, "Isn't that good for everyone?"

Chen Cheng gave a thumbs up, "Boss is a smart businessman."

The boss was a little proud, "We have more than one kiosk on these streets, but the business here is the best. Why? Because I have a TV here! Although it is a second-hand one, it is still worth nearly two hundred yuan.

Really expensive, but worth it!”
