Chapter 6 Repairing the Radio
"It's eleven dollars and twenty cents."
Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong who was a little bit unbelieving, and couldn't hide his excitement: "Wife, I am not proficient in the business yet, I will learn more in two days."
Looking at Shen Lin with a confident look on his face, Lu Xiaorong didn't say much. She just silently put down the receipt in her hand.
"You must be hungry. Come and eat. The fish soup won't taste good if it gets cold." Shen Lin felt a little disappointed when he saw that Lu Xiaorong was calm.
After all, when I was young, I gave Lu Xiaorong too much disappointment.
Fish soup, yellow flour steamed bread, and a 15-watt light bulb emitting dim light!
Although the conditions cannot be compared with the glorious previous life, Shen Lin is very content at this moment.
At this moment, Shen Lin still felt a little excited about being reborn. He ate while talking to Lu Xiaorong, but Lu Xiaorong's reaction was always indifferent.
"Drink it!" Shen Lin picked up the bowl and forced it into Lu Xiaorong's hand. This was his way. Not lingering, but real.
Lu Xiaorong was stunned for a moment.
Since they got married, Shen Lin has never picked up food for her.
At this time, Lu Xiaorong's eyes were dark, her eyes were dim, without any spirit, she looked weak and helpless, but she was absolutely not feminine. Her expression was wooden, as if her mind was frozen. A long-lost concern, a warm support, a warm current of sweetness and grievance surged in her heart, but her face always had a controlled indifference.
How long can Lu Xiaorong last with such a considerate Shen Lin? He has no idea.
After all, he had said before that he would change, but he only disappointed himself more and more each time.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he looks like a decent guy now and seems to treat you well. Once he gets together with that bunch of bad friends and drinks some horse urine, he'll probably forget who he is again!
"You eat it, I can't eat it." Lu Xiaorong pushed back the fish soup that Shen Lin handed over.
"Come on, wife, it's just a fish, it's not worth pushing it around like this, just eat it!"
"From now on, we will eat fish more often."
Lu Xiaorong had no choice but to take it and scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth. The taste was surprisingly delicious. It seemed that Shen Lin made sour fish soup. This bowl of milky white soup was fresh, sour, and rich. Lu Xiaorong's appetite was really opened.
"I'll clean it up." Seeing Lu Xiaorong was about to wash the dishes, Shen Lin quickly grabbed them. From now on, he would love his wife as much as possible.
He knew that his woman was pregnant and he didn't dare take any risks.
Lu Xiaorong was very puzzled when he saw Shen Lin entering the kitchen without saying a word.
There were only two bowls, so they were washed quickly. When Shen Lin was thinking about how to talk to Lu Xiaorong, he went out and found that Lu Xiaorong had already entered the bedroom.
The lights in the bedroom were off. Shen Lin thought for a moment and finally decided not to disturb Lu Xiaorong.
He had hurt Lu Xiaorong so badly that the bruises on his face had not yet healed. How could it be possible that he could just forget about it by cooking a meal and saying a few nice words?
Time reveals a person's true character. If I want to win back Lu Xiaorong's heart, the most important thing is to live a good life.
Looking at the empty house, Shen Lin shook his head.
He remembered that when he got married, his family not only had a 14-inch black-and-white TV of the Venus brand, but also a tape recorder and a faux leather sofa...
Apart from anything else, with three turns and one ring, he has everything!
But later, because of his fooling around, he sold his TV, his tape recorder, and even the two bicycles that Lu Xiaorong brought as a dowry, all of which he bought for alcohol.
It seems that I was quite an asshole back then!
But coming back again, Shen Lin felt that he was very quick and should earn it all back.
Shen Lin found a screwdriver from the drawer and began to disassemble the old-fashioned radio. Shen Lin, who was used to playing card-sized radios, really couldn't fall in love with this radio that was as big as two bricks.
However, the principle of repairing radios is the same. Shen Lin has repaired hundreds of radios with just a soldering iron and a multimeter.
Now there is no multimeter, can only rely on experience.
The screwdriver was not quite right, and it took a lot of effort for Shen Lin to finally open the back cover of the radio. The dusty body made Shen Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
It has been a while since I last cleaned it!
Shen Lin knew that he couldn't use water, so he found a piece of dry cloth and slowly cleaned up the dust...
Lu Xiaorong entered the room, lay on the bed, and laid her body flat. She wanted to calm her thoughts as well, no longer rising and falling, tossing and turning, but how could her thoughts be as obedient as her body?
She silently pondered Shen Lin's changes.
Has Shen Lin really changed?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, someone told her that it was only a temporary phenomenon.
When Shen Lin married me, although he was not outstanding, he was still a sunny young man. But with the retirement of my father-in-law...
Thinking of her father-in-law's retirement, Lu Xiaorong thought of her current job. She had heard rumors that she would be transferred to the workshop.
According to Lu Xiaorong's own qualifications, as a cadre, she should be in the agency department, but now she has been demoted to the workshop.
The reason is also very reasonable: go to the grassroots level for training!
Lu Xiaorong felt bitter in his heart. Although he despised the behavior of some people who appeared to be upright on the surface but were actually dirty in their hearts, he had no choice but to accept this reality.
She had no choice but to accept it, because at this moment, Lu Xiaorong had no other choice.
What is he doing?
Lu Xiaorong suddenly thought of Shen Lin who did not enter the house!
In the past, she had given up on Shen Lin and didn't want to care whether Shen Lin was out fooling around or not.
But today's fish soup made her feel curious.
Pushing open the door, Lu Xiaorong saw Shen Lin repairing a dark-looking radio at the low dining table with the help of dim light.
"Stop fiddling with it. This radio needs a professional to repair it." Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Lin who was fiddling with it seriously for a while, and said softly.
Shen Lin looked up at Lu Xiaorong and found that under the dim light, the thin Lu Xiaorong was like a slender little poplar, standing tall and proud!
"You underestimate me, my wife. I have found the problem and I can fix it today."
Lu Xiaorong looked at the black box full of stains and stopped trying to persuade him, but she didn't believe that Shen Lin could repair the radio.
In her impression, Shen Lin's best skill should be destroying radios.
Lu Xiaorong walked into her room without saying much. After a day of running around, she completely relaxed and fell asleep unconsciously.
But just when she was about to fall asleep, a melodious music suddenly rang in her ears.
"The night in the naval port is quiet
The waves rocked the battleship gently.
The young sailor rests his head on the waves
A sweet smile in sleep
The sea breeze blows gently
The waves rock you gently..."
At first, Lu Xiaorong thought he was having an illusion, but when he listened carefully, he realized that the sound came from his own home.
Gently pushing the door open, Lu Xiaorong saw Shen Lin's hands screwing screws into the black box, and the soothing song was clearly coming from the shabby black box.
"The sea breeze blows gently
The waves rock you gently
How hard it is for sailors on long voyages..."
