Chapter 29 The Zhou family’s past and present lives

Chen Can took Xiao Guoqing to his home and happily took out his radio.

At this time, Zhou Bingkun's house was very lively. His parents, elder brother and sister-in-law were all there. When he saw Xiao Guoqing entering the house, he quickly greeted him with a smile.

After learning about Xiao Guoqing's intention, several people in the room looked at Chen Can with strange eyes.

Especially his father, Zhou Zhigang, looked at him with scrutiny and suspicion.

After all, in the father's mind, he, the third child, is honest and not very smart, so how can he repair a radio?

Chen Can naturally knew that his sudden change would cause some doubts in others.

But for the Zhou family, this reunion can be said to have been separated for seven years. Seven years is enough to change too many things.

It can also be said that in seven years, too many things can be covered up.

No matter how big the change is in Zhou Bingkun, it can be explained in seven years.

So Chen Can just cleared the table and said to his family.

"Dad, don't underestimate me. People say that we have been separated for three days, so we should look at each other with admiration. You haven't seen me for seven years, how do you know that I can't repair the radio? Secretary Qu of our factory taught us very early that he wants us to

Don’t forget to learn new knowledge, enrich yourself, and always think about making contributions to the country!”

When Chen Can said these great truths, the Zhou family was stunned and frightened.

Only Xiao Guoqing touched the back of his head. He always felt that Zhou Bingkun was a little different today. After all, they were together at work and off work basically every day. How could he not know what Zhou Bingkun was capable of?

Just as Xiao Guoqing was about to speak, Chen Can glared back at him!

Chen Can had long been on the lookout for Xiao Guoqing to withdraw from the channel, so naturally he would not give him a chance to speak!

Chen Can cleared an empty table and quickly took out the radio under the witness of everyone.

The appearance of this radio is very typical of the 1960s, with a red five-pointed star on it. It is a semiconductor tube radio produced by a wireless factory in the 1960s.

The craftsmanship of household appliances in this era is actually very rudimentary and far from advanced. Anyone who knows a little bit about electronic technology understands the principles, and they have not even changed in twenty years!

However, this kind of simplest assembly process is of extremely reliable quality and extremely solid workmanship. The overall shell of the machine is decorated with aluminum alloy, making the whole machine very thick and solid.

In later generations, it was rare for a radio to be used for eleven years, but in this era, it was very common. The one in front of me was produced eleven years ago!

Chen Can found a small screwdriver at home. The screwdriver was a bit big, but in Chen Can's hand, it was extremely light. He quickly took apart the entire radio casing to expose the electronic components inside.

Chen Can's deft movements were like those of a master who had been a master for many years. Everyone who saw this scene opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

Although Xiao Guoqing was a little surprised by Chen Can's actions, he knew Chen Can's details and was afraid that Chen Can would damage the radio, so he took a step forward and spoke in a nervous tone.

"Bingkun, you have to be careful!"

Chen Can didn't look back, and without stopping, he gently checked the circuits and electronic components inside.

He naturally knew what Xiao Guoqing was worried about. This thing was not cheap in this era. The radio in his hand was priced at 78 yuan back then. That was in the 1960s!

Of course, spending two to three months' salary on a radio is considered a big purchase for the family. If it lasts for more than ten years, it is not a bad deal.

He really didn't feel any pressure to repair this thing. He had just obtained advanced electrical repair technology, and when he saw the radio on the table, it was like seeing a small toy.

He is not only thinking about how to repair it, but also how to modify it to make the radio signal better and the frequency modulation more accurate!

Chen Can took a clean rag and used the small screwdriver in his hand to clean the rust spots on the electronic components bit by bit.

There is indeed something wrong with this radio. One component is burned, and one solder joint is a little loose.

Chen Can leaned on a screwdriver and began to clean it carefully. In his eyes, the electronic components on it were just the simplest lines. He could even modify them at will without changing its function.

The advanced electrical appliance repair technology is really awesome. Chen Can can even be half-hearted and still ask the system in his mind, whether he can retain this technology after returning to the real world?

After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Can's lips curved up!

Sure enough, this skill is permanent, and from now on, your life will be completely different.

Advanced electrical appliance repair technology is just the first technology. In the future, you will have a more colorful life.

Perhaps with this skill, after returning to reality, I can even make a living by running a stall and repairing air conditioners and refrigerators!

For twenty minutes, Chen Can used a small screwdriver and a rag to cleanly repair the radio in front of him. He even made some small modifications.

If he had the right tools and accessories, he felt that he could assemble a more powerful gadget, but now, he had to make do.

After reinstalling the casing, Chen Can turned on the radio. There was a rustling sound coming from the FM, but then a sound that was so clean and without any impurities came from the radio.

"Kids, "Small Speaker" has started broadcasting! Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick..."

"This is the Central People's Broadcasting Station..."

It was such a crisp voice with almost no signal interference. Everyone looked at Chen Can with disbelief.

Chen Can changed two more radio stations, and sure enough the sound was very clear. It definitely didn't look like an old radio that had been used for eleven years. It was even better than a brand new radio!

Among them, Xiao Guoqing was shocked!

He had been listening to his father's radio almost since he was a child. When he was a child, he was playful and dropped it twice. As a result, the signal began to deteriorate. Every time the radio was played, there was noise, and he even adjusted the frequency inexplicably.

But now, this crisp and clean radio sound makes Xiao Guoqing feel like he is hearing the sound of nature. After listening to the radio with rustling sounds for a long time, and then hearing this crisp and clear sound without any noise, it is really a pleasure for the ears!

Xiao Guoqing was even more surprised that Zhou Bingkun, whom he had grown up with since childhood, could actually repair radios?

When did he learn this technique?

Secretary Qu of their soy sauce factory did teach them to read more and learn more new knowledge, and even signed them up for English cram school. However, Xiao Guoqing had a poor foundation and a heavy family burden, so he was not in the mood to study at all, so he was always the old man.

Look.

In his opinion, Zhou Bingkun is almost the same as him. He only went to the first grade of junior high school, his academic performance is a mess, and he usually hangs out with a few of him after get off work. When did he learn the skills?

Suddenly, he felt that Fa Xiao, whom he had been familiar with since childhood, seemed a little strange!

At this time, Zhou Bingkun's voice also interrupted his thoughts.

"National Day, how's it going? I'm satisfied!"

Xiao Guoqing woke up quickly, grinned, and nodded quickly.

"Satisfied, satisfied, Bingkun, your skills are better than Liu Laizi's. I won't have to worry about this thing breaking again in the future!"

Chen Can chuckled, suddenly remembered something, and quickly waved to him.

"Then what are you waiting for? Where's the money?"

Xiao Guoqing thought of something and quickly took out the five yuan that Chen Can had borrowed from him from his pocket.

Chen Can took the money, grunted, stuffed it into his pocket, and said angrily.

"That's an advantage for you kid, I saved you eight dollars!"

Xiao Guoqing then remembered that it was true that if he went to Liu Laizi's for repairs, he would still have to pay eight yuan. Thinking of this, Xiao Guoqing suddenly felt happy, and he couldn't wait to put away the radio and said to Chen Can.

"Bingkun, thank you. When we get together on the third day of junior high school, I will send the radio back to my dad first. He has been nagging about this for months!"

Chen Can agreed, waved his hand, and sent Xiao Guoqing out.

The reason why he decided to exchange for electrical appliance repair technology is also very simple. Not only can this thing make some extra money secretly in this era, but in a few years, he might even be able to make a lot of money with this skill!

The Liu laizi whom Xiao Guoqing mentioned before, in Zhou Bingkun's memory, opened an electrical appliance repair shop in the early 1980s, and later opened an electrical appliance shopping mall. By the end of the 1980s, he was already a millionaire.

In the 1980s and 1990s, it was not difficult to make a fortune if you had technology and brains.

Thinking back to the first time I traveled across the world, I only stayed for a hundred days and made millions, not to mention my enhanced electrical repair skills.

Chen Can thought happily. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that several people in the family were interested in him.

The mother stepped forward with a look of joy on her face, patted his shoulder, and boasted with a smile that her son was really capable.

Although Zhou Zhigang didn't say anything, the look of relief on his face was much calmer than the poker face he had last night!

There is no parent who would be unhappy if their child is capable.

What's more, he is the third son of the Zhou family who has always failed to live up to expectations. Chen Can showed his face to the family this time.

They haven't seen each other for seven years. The original impression of Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi, the eldest brother, still remains the same as it was seven years ago.

At that time, Zhou Bingkun was the only one in the family who did not like to study, and his academic performance was also at the bottom. In addition, he stayed in the city to take care of his mother.

First he worked in a lumber factory and then in a soy sauce factory, both of which were hard labor jobs. Compared to his two older brothers and sisters, Zhou Bingkun was very different.

Therefore, the impression Zhou Bingkun gave to the Zhou family was that he was dull, stupid and obedient!

This kind of Zhou Bingkun is the best homekeeper in the Zhou family, whether it is Zhou's father, the eldest brother, or even the second sister Zhou Rong in the future.

They all hope that Zhou Bingkun can take good care of his parents at home, put filial piety first, and just stay at home in peace and contentment.

But in fact, Zhou Bingkun is particularly eager to prove himself and hopes to have his own world.

In the second half of Zhou Bingkun's life, he diligently took care of his parents and his brothers and sisters. His second sister Zhou Rong's children lived in his house for ten years!

Even Zheng Juan and Luo Shibin's children were raised by him as his own!

What did he get as a result?

I got nothing, almost everyone took it for granted!

Including his parents, eldest brother, second sister, and even his two children, they all take it for granted!
