Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Wang Zhong and Yang Xiong also watched and studied very carefully for a whole morning, and gained a preliminary understanding of the structure of the bicycle.

This morning, Jiang Fan got to know the two men. They were both children with miserable lives. Wang Zhong's parents had both died on the battlefield, and he had lived with his grandfather and younger brother since childhood. Grandpa Wang spent his days collecting scrap to raise the two children.

Yang Xiong is in a similar situation. His father has a broken arm and works at a scrap collection station. His mother is bedridden and he has two younger brothers and sisters at home.

After learning about their experiences, Jiang Fan realized even more how happy his family was.

After lunch, the three of them rested for a while and then started working again.

The work in the afternoon was much faster. Jiang Fan took two people to put together two bicycles.

"Alright, that's all for today. Everyone else is off work now, go get Station Master Li."

"Yes, master."

Wang Zhong hurried to call for help, and Yang Xiong brought a chair and a cup of tea to Jiang Fan.

"Brother Jiang, you must be tired."

When Li Dajiang arrived, he didn't even look at the bicycle. He went straight to Jiang Fan and shook his hand.

"Not bad. I got three out today. I used eleven of them. The remaining parts are all here."

Jiang Fan pulled his hand out and pointed at a pile of bicycle parts on the ground.

"You can refurbish three out of eleven? Brother Jiang really has great skills. Not only are they fast, but they also wear out very little. It's really amazing."

Hearing Li Dajiang's surprised tone, Jiang Fan knew that the wear and tear of other renovation masters was higher than his.

"It seems I have to control myself from now on." Jiang Fan thought to himself.

"The car is right here. Find someone to paint it and it'll be about 80% new. Wang Zhong and Yang Xiong have almost learned how to disassemble it. Find them some tools and let them try disassembling it tomorrow."

"Alright. Brother Jiang is really good at teaching students. You two are also good, but you can't be proud. You have to continue to study hard, okay?"

"Got it, Uncle Li. We will definitely learn well from our master."

After chatting with Li Dajiang for a few more words, Jiang Fan came out. The item detection radar for today's check-in hadn't been used yet. There was only one hour a day, so it couldn't be wasted.

After leaving the house, Jiang Fan came to the place where the furniture was stored and began to explore bit by bit.

"There are Hainan Huanghuali wood cabinets, mahogany tables, and red sandalwood boxes. There really are a lot of good things here."

Jiang Fan wrote down these things one by one and planned to buy them home. Hainan Huanghuali wood is not valuable now and is used for burning firewood in Hainan.

"A dressing box with a hidden compartment? Take it."

After looking around, I found four pieces of furniture with secret compartments.

"After looking at the furniture, let's go look at some books. Maybe there are some rare calligraphy and paintings."

An hour later, Jiang Fan took away these "broken furniture and waste paper" that were half sold or half given away from Li Dajiang!

After calling two men to take the things home, Jiang Fan also got off work.

Chapter 24 School Begins

Back at the courtyard, Jiang Fan and two masters moved various furniture back into the house. He planned to use these furniture to replace the original furniture.

It's all furniture anyway, so it doesn't matter what you use it for.

"Son, how much did it cost you to get all this furniture?"

Shen Yue looked at these pieces of furniture and couldn't understand why she brought these back home since she didn't lack furniture.

"Mom, these are all great things. Look at that bed. In the past, only wealthy families could afford it. And those cabinets and tables are made of fine wood. They would have cost a fortune in the past."

Shen Yue was skeptical, but after a closer look, she discovered that the workmanship was indeed much more refined.

"Even if it's a good thing, where should we put it after we take it back?"

"Where to put it? Just use it. Big brother is of marriageable age. If you take good care of these furniture, they will be brand new. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Okay, wait until your dad and Ping An come back and take care of it. I don't care anymore. I'm going to go cook."

After Shen Yue left, Jiang Fan put all the books and small items into the space.

During dinner in the evening, Jiang Daniu had no objection to this, and Jiang Ping'an said that he would listen to his younger brother.

The family worked for a while to put the furniture in order.

At night, Jiang Fan sat on the bed and took out a small item with a secret compartment.

Open them one by one.

"Hiss! Gold bars, jewelry, Yuan Datou."

Jiang Fan was extremely shocked when he looked at the gold, silver and jewelry in front of him. In his more than 20 years of life, he had only seen so much gold and jewelry in jewelry stores, and they all belonged to other people.

Now all of these are mine, eight small yellow croakers, two large yellow croakers, more than a hundred Yuan Datou coins, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and gems and jade.

But he couldn't tell the price, so he still made a lot of money.

Time passed, and soon it was time for Jiang Fan to start school.

In the past ten days, he has not only refurbished bicycles at the scrap collection station, but also radios, fans and other things.

But only he and Li Dajiang knew about this. Even Wang Zhong and Yang Xiong didn't know, as they were only responsible for the bicycles.

Li Dajiang really wanted Jiang Fan to stay at the scrap collection station, but he knew that was unrealistic. So, in order to deepen his relationship with Jiang Fan, Li Dajiang personally went to various collection stations in Beijing to buy used books for Jiang Fan.

This was Jiang Fan's request. Furniture and other things were too conspicuous, and these old books were just right. Many of them were classics, rare and unique. In a few years, these books might be burned in a fire.

What he is doing now can be considered as protecting cultural relics.

At the scrap collection station, he picked up a lot of good things, and now the gold and jewelry in his hands have become a considerable fortune.

This made Jiang Fan sigh, Mr. Jing is Mr. Jing!

On the first day of school, Jiang Daniu and Jiang Ping'an both took leave, and the whole family came to send Jiang Fan to school.

Because the distance was far and it was inconvenient to go to and from school every day, Jiang Fan chose to live on campus.

When he arrived at the school, Jiang Fan found the registration office, registered his personal information, and found the class information.

In the 1950s, the duration of technical schools was two years. Now, due to the development of society, there is not such a long time for teaching, and the classes we study on weekdays are all practical courses.

When we got to the dormitory building, Jiang Fan's dorm was 510, 5th floor, dorm number 10. (My dorm number in college.)

There were six beds in the dormitory, and one person had already arrived. The dormitory was very simple, with only a few iron beds, a few tables, and a light bulb.

There's no fan, no private bathroom. Washing and going to the toilet all require going to the bathroom. This is what dormitory conditions are like these days.

"Hello, classmate. I'm Wang Mu, from Baocheng, and I'm in Mechanical Maintenance Class 1."

"Hello, I'm Jiang Fan, from Mechanical Maintenance Team 1, and I'm from Sijiu City. This is my family."

The two men got to know each other, and at this moment, another person came in with a middle-parted hairstyle and a basketball.

The man was Huang Ming, 16 years old, also from Sijiucheng, not far from Jiang Fan's home, just two alleys away. He had also heard of Jiang Fan's reputation.

After making his bed, Jiang Fan went out to dinner with his family. He had also invited Wang Mu and Huang Ming, but they declined, saying they wanted to visit the school.

They found a state-owned restaurant outside the school and ordered several meat dishes generously, which attracted everyone's attention.

While eating, everyone put food into Jiang Fan's bowl, and Jiang Fan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Mom, I'm just here to go to school and go back once a week. I'm not going to the ends of the earth and never come back.

Besides, I'm already 17, don't you know what I'm capable of? I can't treat myself badly."

"Mom knows you're capable, but this is the first time you've been away from home for so long, and I'm worried."

Shen Yue's eyes were full of worry. Although Jiang Fan was very sensible and capable, he was her son, Shen Yue. A mother wouldn't worry when her son went out.

After comforting my mother, I teased my sister.

"Brother, I'm not at home, so please take care of the house. If there's anything going on in the yard, don't get involved if you can.

If something really involves our family, don't listen to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui and the others, just go directly to the neighborhood committee office. Those two guys can't be trusted.

And Xiaoyu, don't let her take the goodies out alone. I'm worried about that old woman from the Jia family."

"I know. Besides, I still have my parents at home."

Jiang Ping'an nodded. He knew that he was not very smart, but he had some strength, so he always listened to Jiang Fan.

"You kid, your father is not dead yet! If you want to say something, you should tell me."

Jiang Daniu glared at Jiang Fan, very dissatisfied with his attitude. He was clearly the head of the family, but he had no say in the family.

At home, Jiang Daniu has to listen to his wife, his son, and his daughter. In this family of five, Jiang Daniu can only take care of Jiang Pingan. Even so, Jiang Pingan will stand on Jiang Fan's side between Jiang Daniu and Jiang Fan.

"Dad, you should prepare for the blacksmith exam in November."

"Don't worry, as you said, it's just a seventh-level blacksmith test, and I can do it with one hand."

Jiang Daniu pinched his fingers to indicate that there was no problem.

……

When I returned to the dormitory, the others had already arrived.

Everyone introduced themselves to each other.

Jiang Fan is 17 years old and from Beijing.

Wang Mu is 17 years old and from Baocheng.

Huang Ming is 16 years old and from Beijing.

Xu Hao is 17 years old and from Tianjin.

Mo Yang is 16 years old and from Mount Tai.

Cheng Lin is 17 years old and is also from Beijing.

The six people are all students in Mechanical Maintenance Class 1.

After spending an afternoon together, Jiang Fan had a preliminary understanding of his roommates.

They are all very kind people. I guess their families don’t have any background. They are just children from ordinary families.

I just don't know what her personality is like, but there are still two years left, so I'll just get to know her slowly.

Chapter 25 Saturday Outing

There are not many courses at the Sijiucheng Iron and Steel Technical College, including Chinese, mathematics, Russian, and mechanical subjects (metallurgy, materials, maintenance, design, etc.).

The focus is on being highly professional, after all, professional talents are really needed now.

The head teacher of the maintenance class is named Wei. He is also a Chinese teacher and is an old man in his fifties.

On the first day of class, the teachers introduced themselves and then started teaching the textbook knowledge.

There are eight classes a day and one evening study session. The rest of the time is at students' disposal. Eating at school also requires money and tickets, and some students bring their own food.

There are not many people in the maintenance class, only twenty-two people, seven girls and fifteen boys.

The courses were no problem for Jiang Fan, except for Russian. Jiang Fan had never been exposed to it and could not teach in junior high school, so there were not that many strong teacher resources.

The Russian teacher was a Soviet foreign teacher named Andrei, who also taught mechanical subjects.

On the first day of school, Jiang Fan signed in to enhance his learning ability. Therefore, the course content was not difficult for him, and he often helped his roommates with their studies.

Friday came in a blink of an eye. Jiang Fan and Huang Ming lived close to each other and planned to go home together.

Wang Mu and others from other places rejected Jiang Fan's invitation, but the two sides agreed to go out together on the weekend.

Carport.

"Brother Fan, is this the bicycle you saved up for yourself?"

"Well, after taking maintenance classes for a while, you can build one. It's pretty simple. I just spent some time reading books in the library and figured it out bit by bit."

Jiang Fan looked at Huang Ming and asked, "Try it?"

"Me? Can I?"

Huang Ming was a little surprised. You know, a big item like a bicycle is extremely precious to an ordinary family.
