Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1036 - 1037: The Lonely Village Girl 81
Chapter 1036: Chapter 1037: The Lonely Village Girl 81
In the courtyard here, there has been progress. For example, some neighbors have shown their radios to Xiao Qiao, taking advantage of the weekend, brought tools to the Zhang Family and repaired them on-site.
This has already infuriated Old Hao and his wife to no end. To fix the radios that the son-in-law of the Hao Family deemed beyond repair is slapping his face, isn’t it?
Consequently, Old Hao’s complexion remained as ugly as could be for a long time.
What angered him more was that Xiao Qiao fixed people’s radios, which was fine since he had the skill and ability to do so.
But why did he have to fix the radios in front of everyone and even explain to them simply why he fixed it there and what the consequences would be if neglected?
It’s not that people haven’t repaired things before, but no one has ever done it in front of others, let alone given pointers on why it was done this way.
After hearing this news, Old Hao’s complexion turned terribly sour, and this was a complete end for him.
Of course, he had significant opinions about his son-in-law, feeling that he was overly stingy.
Treating those radio repairs as treasures, he was unwilling to provide any guidance to his brother-in-law, whereas, at Xiao Qiao’s place, everyone could watch.
Old Hao truly regretted it. If it weren’t for this matter being related to his son-in-law, he would’ve called his own son back to have them learn properly.
But now, how could he dare to do this? These days, the couple has been isolated by people in various ways, and the things they say are always sarcastic, making one uncomfortable to listen to.
They had nowhere to go and could only stay here.
The neighbors originally thought Xiao Qiao would be willing to repair their radios, which was good enough. They hadn’t anticipated an unexpected surprise like this.
They couldn’t stop swallowing, "Can we really watch and learn?"
One person spoke excitedly, his voice changed.
Xiao Qiao knew doing this would make people excited in various ways, "Of course, I just explain it simply, and you can watch."
"Actually, you shouldn’t think of radios as high-end items; they’re just low-spec radios."
"Then understand the principles," Xiao Qiao recalled the skeptics who might claim they didn’t understand the principles and added, "You can go to the bookstore and see if there are books on the principles of electronic components."
"If there are, read more." Zhang Yu thought electronic components were good things.
No way, everyone was dumbfounded, they had been fearing and flattering Old Hao’s Daughter, fearing it would affect her husband fixing things for them in the future.
Now they realized it was really not difficult. As long as you could read, it was enough.
"So simple?" one was surprised.
Xiao Qiao hummed, "Yeah, otherwise, what did you think was difficult?" freewebnoveℓ.com
Someone became sheepish, "I really thought it was difficult."
"If you don’t do hands-on operations, of course, it’s difficult. But if you’re amongst a pile of broken radios, doing various repairs, you can improve your skills too."
Xiao Qiao knows many people privately think the son-in-law of the Hao Family is excessive and earns dirty money.
However, once they have such an opportunity to make money, Zhang Yu knows they wouldn’t let it go either.
Ah, no way, everyone really didn’t expect Xiao Qiao to improve his skills in such a way, they were astonished.
"Where to find this many old radios?" Aw, they should’ve known, they can’t compare to Xiao Qiao, what he can accomplish, they may not be able to manage.
"You buy books, then go to the scrap yard and see if there are broken radios, you can practice." Xiao Qiao gave them a suggestion.
Whether they do it or not is their business, "Though it’s a bit hard, as long as you learn, it’s a skill."
Originally, everyone scoffed, thinking Xiao Qiao was just making empty talk, but hearing him say it’s about learning a skill, their eyes brightened.
"Yeah, following an expert to learn, it’s not something you can learn just because you want to."
Previously, learning skills from an expert, apprentices had no income, the expert only provided meals and lodging, and if the expert was ruthless, you were suppressed and not allowed to graduate, no matter how good your skills, the money earned was only for the expert.
"Following a radio repair expert, you also wouldn’t graduate quickly."
Everyone knows that once a master teaches the apprentice successfully, isn’t it equivalent to shattering their own rice bowl?
He knows why the son-in-law of the Hao Family doesn’t come around much, it’s not because he is earning money and looks down on his penniless father-in-law, nor because Old Hao wanted the son-in-law to teach a few sons, hence the refusal to come.
The son-in-law is unwilling to teach even his own brother, which shows how much they are excluded from entering this circle.
They further inquired, the son-in-law of the Hao Family wouldn’t teach radio repair to big or little brothers-in-law, or even his own siblings, which explains something.
"By the way, Brother Xiao, can we watch you repair radios in the future?" Someone thought quickly and considered learning from Xiao Qiao besides self-study.
Xiao Qiao was nonchalant, "Sure."
"Brother Xiao, you’re really nice."
"Dude, you’re generous."
Hearing this, Old Hao couldn’t stand it anymore, "Could I let my sons come to learn too?"
He doesn’t believe it. Once his sons know, they’ll beg the son-in-law to join in earning money with them.
People didn’t expect Old Hao could have the nerve to say this, they all looked at him with disdain.
Old Hao was stared at by everyone, his expression changed repeatedly, he knew once his sons came to learn from Xiao Qiao, they’d face an even more embarrassing situation.
Old Hao thought for a bit, the idea of making money prevailed. With this in mind, he straightened his back once again, "We’re all neighbors, why can you all learn, but not my sons?"
"Xiao Qiao, do you think my sons can learn?" Old Hao didn’t ask the neighbors, he asked Xiao Qiao directly.
Xiao Qiao didn’t even lift his head, continuing his work, "Learn if you want, don’t learn if you don’t want."
"Anyway, that’s my statement, how much you understand is up to you, I only explain once, won’t keep explaining."
"I just say in passing why it’s repaired this way while fixing stuff"
"I don’t charge tuition, so don’t treat me as a teacher," Xiao Qiao reiterated.
"If I hear others say I don’t seriously point things out, it’s fine, later I can repair at home."
Xiao Qiao knows no matter what good he does, some people will keep pushing.
Everyone tensed up hearing this, finally understanding why this man fancies Zhang Yu.
Turns out they really are a family, their temperaments and actions are alike.
Old Hao’s face darkened once more, he felt Xiao Qiao was targeting him.
