Chapter Thirty-one

The matter had to start from an hour ago. He was too embarrassed to tell Lin Xi, but actually went back to the bicycle repair stall.

After squatting and watching for a long time, he asked a lot of questions. The stall owner felt something was wrong and began to shout him away impatiently.

How could Lin Jianjun give up the opportunity so easily after finally stealing it?

"I think you are just a kid. I asked you several questions but you still don't know how to do it. If you are capable, do you dare to take a gamble with me?"

The other party also became angry because of his idiotic plaster: "Who are you calling a fool? I have been repairing bicycles for more than two years, and there is no problem that I can't solve!"

"Then how do you get this chain up?"

The man didn't answer, so he shook his legs and mocked more arrogantly: "It's only been two years? Who dares to come to your door to repair a car?"

Seeing that some passers-by had stopped to watch, the man was furious, so he knelt down and started to demonstrate to him.

"The tools you use are not right, so naturally you can't get it done. How dare you laugh at me because you are so stupid?"

With a click, the chain was successfully connected.

Seeing Lin Jianjun's sudden realization, the man also realized what he was doing. He was so angry that he quickly turned around and asked his two sons to beat him up.

"We only got beaten a few times, but at least we learned a real skill. Now it's better. This bike is now with us."

Lin Jianjun squatted down indifferently and started tinkering with the bicycle again.

The sky was getting dark, and the two of them didn't have watches, but looking at the increasing number of pedestrians on the street, Lin Xi estimated that it must be five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

"Fourth brother, let's find a guest house to stay in first and wait until tomorrow."

"There's no place to get so many things. Besides, it's not easy to come here. When I came here, I saw there was a park over there. It was spacious and there were benches and street lights. I'll get the stuff there, and you can find a guest house to stay on your own.

Come on, don't worry about me."

"That's okay, it's October now, it's cold at night, and you'll catch a cold again. No matter how much you make money, it's not as important as your health."

"If you have a cold, take two tablets of metamizole and you'll be fine. Besides, there aren't many opportunities to make money. Listen to my brother and go find a guest house to stay. I'm thick-skinned and fine."

Seeing that Lin Xi couldn't resist him, she had no choice but to move the things with him to a bench in a corner of the park.

"Come on, go and stay in the guest house quickly, as long as the fourth brother is here."

Lin Xi was not very happy: "Just leave you here alone and I won't be able to sleep well. Besides, I can help with simple tasks. Two people can do it faster than one person."

Seeing her insistence, Lin Jianjun took out a coat from the satchel he carried with him: "It's cold at night, so put this on."

Lin Xi didn't refuse. After putting on her coat, she took out a can and went to a nearby house to ask for a bottle of hot water.

The brother and sister ate the cakes and eggs they brought with them on the bench with hot water.

Under the dim street lights, the brother and sister worked together, and at dawn, they finally assembled the two bicycles.

Although it looks a bit old, it does not affect its use.

Lin Jianjun stood up, stretched his waist vigorously, and moved his legs that were already numb.

Lin Xi also stood up and moved his limbs. Looking at the finished product, Lin Xi couldn't help but praise: "Fourth brother, you are so awesome."

Lin Jianjun scratched his head and chuckled: "I'll polish it with sandpaper later, and it won't be a problem to sell it for sixty yuan."

Their total cost of these parts is only 40 yuan, which can barely assemble three bicycles, which is 180 yuan, and they can make a net profit of 140 yuan when they resell them!

"Fourth brother, you've been tired all night. Leave the bicycle sales to me." She still took a nap on the bench at night, but Lin Jianjun really didn't sleep all night.

Lin Jianjun rubbed his face hard with both hands, and wiped away the eye mucus from the corners of his eyes: "But pull it off, if you, a little girl, meet a gangster, your fourth brother and I will be ashamed, and it won't be worse than this for a while and a half."

Yes, we each have one, so we’ll sell these two first.”

As he spoke, he squatted down and polished off the rust with sandpaper, and then the brother and sister rode their bicycles straight towards the outskirts of the city.

Second-hand bicycles may not be easy to sell in urban areas, but there are definitely many people buying bicycles in suburbs.

As expected, they sold two bicycles after just asking a few people.

Lin Jianjun found a secluded place to load up the last bicycle. Because it was in average condition, he only sold it for fifty yuan in order to sell it as soon as possible.

The three bicycles were sold for a total of 170 yuan. After deducting the cost, the net profit was 130 yuan.

Seeing that it was getting late, the brother and sister took the bus back to the city. After asking at the train station window, they found that the first two buses had already left, and the earliest remaining bus would not leave until four in the afternoon.

After glancing at the big clock at the station, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon. The two took a quick bite of the hot water biscuits, and then walked around to nearby homes.

Lin Xi and Lin Jianjun worked separately and collected six more radios.

"Although there are some minor problems, they use it with care. It looks almost like new. It won't be a big problem to simply repair it when I go back. The main reason is that it is cheap."

Looking at the bag full of radios and thinking about the more than one hundred yuan in his arms, Lin Jianjun felt that he had come to the provincial capital this time.

It's a pity that transportation is inconvenient, otherwise I could definitely make a lot of money by getting some parts and assembling them.

Because the train was late, it was almost 4:30, and the announcement prompted everyone to get ready to get on the train.

Everyone shouted and blocked the ticket gate.

Lin Jianjun also wanted to push forward, but was stopped by Lin Xi.

"Fourth brother, there are too many people here. If you push to the front, you will be easily stolen. Why don't you leave all your money with me?"

One year in her previous life, she and Zhao Yiyi worked hard for a year and finally saved some money to go home for the New Year. Who knew that they were targeted by a thief as soon as they got on the train.

The two of them didn't even notice that all the money they had was stolen by the other party.

Although the money was obviously placed on Zhao Yiyi, he kept complaining that she didn't take it seriously.

The little money I had worked hard to earn for a year was gone all of a sudden. At that time, I felt regretful, angry, depressed and had nowhere to vent my emotions. I wanted to die on the spot.

She still remembers that feeling.

"Okay, you are more alert than Fourth Brother. If there is a window seat when you get on the bus later, you can take your things and sit inside. It will be safer." Lin Jianjun handed her all the money without saying a word.

When Lin Xi collected the money, he secretly put the money into the space.

There is no safer place than here.

Soon the brother and sister entered the carriage, squeezed through the crowd, and finally found their place.

At this moment, there were three people sitting across from the seat, an elderly couple, and at the end was a dark-skinned young man with a simple and honest appearance.

Lin Jianjun nodded to the three of them, pulled Lin Xi and sat down on his seat.

"Children, where are you going?" After the train started to move, the elderly man took the initiative to chat.
