章節 24: 024
The entire class burst into laughter at Yi Feng's answer, causing an uproar of laughter.
Even the stern and old-fashioned Teacher Mo couldn't help but join in.
Gu Muxi laughed even harder, holding her stomach.
"Yi Feng, you really have a way with words! Haha!"
Yi Feng grinned, unable to come up with a real answer, so he had resorted to humor.
"Cough cough, alright, Yi Feng, you may sit down now. Pay attention to the book and listen to the lecture, and stop chatting in class!" Teacher Mo, trying to suppress his laughter, said sternly.
"Yes, yes, teacher, I'll definitely listen carefully," Yi Feng said with an awkward smile.
…
Time passed, and before long, the day ended, and it was time to go home.
Upon arrival, Zhao Xingye greeted him warmly, "Haha, little Feng is here! Come on, have some tea first."
Zhao Xingye offered tea, his face blooming with a smile, as if seeing Yi Feng was like seeing the God of Wealth.
In his eyes, Yi Feng was practically akin to the God of Wealth.
"No need for tea, I'll just finish the job and head back. Where are the computers?" Yi Feng waved his hand.
Zhao Xingye's hand, holding the tea cup, froze, a bit embarrassed.
However, he quickly put down the cup, saying, "They're inside, two main units, both won't turn on."
Yi Feng nodded and went into the workroom to start examining the main units.
One had a power supply issue, and the other had a motherboard soldering problem, with a capacitor coming off.
"Boss Zhao, what price did you quote the customers?"
"Hehe, all as you said, not turning on is flat 800, blue screen is 500, computer lag is 400."
"Not including parts, just labor, I told them all 800," Zhao Xingye rubbed his hands together.
The two units would bring in 1600 just like that; he would get a 320 cut. Easy money!
"Not bad, tell them to come pick up their machines later," Yi Feng said with a smile, starting the repairs.
"Alrighty!" Zhao Xingye nodded eagerly.
An hour and a half later…
Yi Feng successfully repaired both main units, which could now be used normally.
This was the booming era for PCs, and the corresponding repair technology was not yet widespread. Yi Feng was making money from a trend.
As the saying goes, even a pig can fly if it stands at the wind's mouth.
"All done," Yi Feng told Zhao Xingye.
Two middle-aged men waiting in the shop heard the news and came over happily to check.
After turning on and checking, indeed, both were fixed.
"Thank you so much! I'm so grateful!"
"If it hadn't been fixed, I might have had to spend over ten thousand on a new computer!" one of the middle-aged men in a suit gratefully said.
"No need to thank me, just take your machines back. They should work fine for a few years," Yi Feng said with a smile.
The two middle-aged men paid Yi Feng and then happily carried their main units back home.
After they left, Yi Feng counted the money, 1600 yuan, 16 red bills!
This money is indeed sweet!
Wang Tie was amazed at the sight of the money.
Brother Feng only worked for a couple of hours and earned over a thousand yuan, so awesome!
Following brother Feng is definitely the right choice!
"Hehe, little Feng…" Zhao Xingye rubbed his hands next to him, eyeing the money greedily.
If only I could repair computers too!
Then this thousand-plus yuan would be mine!
Unfortunately, I can't, so I can only take a 20% commission.
"Here, boss Zhao, this is your share. Keep the change," Yi Feng handed over four hundred yuan.
"Y-yes, thank you, little Feng haha!" Receiving 320 yuan for doing nothing, Zhao Xingye was overjoyed, giving Yi Feng 80 yuan in change.
Yi Feng pocketed the change, "Alright, boss Zhao, the job's done, we're heading back. See you next time!"
"Tie, let's go."
The two left the shop, riding the bicycle back home.
Upon reaching the entrance of their residential area, passing by the Lanhua convenience store, Yi Feng asked Wang Tie to stop.
"What's up, brother Feng?" Wang Tie asked, puzzled.
"Wait here, I need to buy something." Yi Feng got off the bike and entered the convenience store.
"Little Feng, finished school?" Aunt Wang, the store owner, greeted him.
"Yeah, Aunt Wang, could you get me two boxes of nutritional cereal, the best ones?" Yi Feng pointed at the shelf stocked with nutritional cereals.
"The most expensive? That's 50 yuan a box, you know!" Aunt Wang reminded him.
Fifty yuan could feed a family of three for a week.
"It's fine, just give me two boxes," Yi Feng said.
"Alright."
Aunt Wang fetched two boxes of finely packaged nutritional cereals from the shelf and handed them to Yi Feng.
This cereal was perfect for breakfast, nutritious and filling, and tasted good too.
Yi Feng paid, "Aunt Wang, I'm heading back."
Leaving the store, Yi Feng handed the two boxes of cereal to Wang Tie.
"Wang Tie, take these two boxes of nutritional cereal back for your mom. This stuff is rich in nutrients and good for the body," Yi Feng said.
"Ah?! Brother Feng! This, this is too much! Two boxes cost a hundred yuan!"
"I can't accept this!" Wang Tie repeatedly refused.
He knew he hadn't been much help, just running errands, and felt uncomfortable accepting such an expensive gift.
"Listen to your brother, take it, no more words. It's a little something for your mom from me," Yi Feng said sternly.
Seeing Yi Feng's determined look, Wang Tie's eyes welled up.
He wiped away a tear, gratefully saying, "Okay, thanks, brother Feng!"
Yi Feng then took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to him, "I know your family's situation is even tougher than mine. Keep this two hundred yuan to improve your meals."
"And remember, don't let your dad get his hands on it."
"If your dad comes asking for money, you come to me!"
"I'll stand up for you!"
Touched by Yi Feng's words, Wang Tie's tears flowed freely.
Having such a brother was truly wonderful!
"Brother Feng, I…"
Wang Tie, holding the two hundred yuan, was too choked up to speak.
Yi Feng patted his shoulder, "What are you crying for, big boys don't cry."
"Quick, dry your tears. Our days will get better and better."
Wang Tie nodded vigorously, "I know, brother Feng!"
…
After parting with Wang Tie at the residential complex, Yi Feng returned home.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Muxi sitting on the sofa watching TV, her posture and demeanor utterly genteel and ladylike.
"Yi Feng is back!" Gu Muxi, hearing the noise, turned around and smiled without showing her teeth.
Yi Feng smiled broadly, amazed at how Gu Muxi had seemingly transformed into a different person after coming to his house.
"Gu Muxi, what drama are you watching?" Yi Feng dropped his backpack and casually sat beside her.
Just being near Gu Muxi, he could smell a faint fragrance.
