Chapter 141 The Zhang brothers want to learn repair from Song Cenyue
"How could that girl Cen Yue be so capable that she could even repair cars? She fixed Director Sun's car and earned a hundred dollars, and also got a rice mill for free." Dong Jinhua sighed. Although Song Cenyue was much younger than her and was her daughter's generation, she admired her very much.
"Dad, speaking of the rice mill, you said that this rice mill has been repaired by Sister Cen Yue and can grind rice. Is that true? It's so old and rusty. Can it really still grind rice?" Zhang Jianbo was a little skeptical.
"What is true or false? You little brat, how dare you doubt what your father said? Would your father lie about such a thing?" Zhang Shengjin glared at his younger son in annoyance and knocked him on the head with his hand.
"Don't look at this rice mill as it's very old and rusty. Girl Cen Yue said that if you apply some lubricating oil and maintain it, it won't look so old anymore. It can be used for at least another four or five years." This was what girl Cen Yue said on the way back from pulling the rice mill.
"Dad, I have an idea and you have to help me." Zhang Jianxing looked at the rice mill with his eyes flickering, obviously thinking about something, and suddenly spoke.
"What's the idea?" Zhang Shengjin immediately looked at his eldest son, and the others also looked at Zhang Jianxing with some curiosity.
"I want to learn repairs from Cen Yue." Zhang Jianxing said. "Dad, you must help me plead with Cen Yue and ask her to teach me." His face was full of pleading.
"Lao Zhang, big brother, this is a good idea! If he and girl Cen Yue learn how to repair things, then he won't have to worry about anything in his life. No, he will have a good life, and we can benefit from it too." Dong Jinhua's eyes lit up, her face full of excitement and joy, and she shouted to her husband.
Why didn't I think of letting my son learn repairmanship from Song Cenyue before? If he learns it, he will have a fortune. Look how much money repairmanship can make. Song Cenyue earned sixty yuan by repairing tractors for the commune, and earned even more by repairing cars for the agricultural machinery factory, a full hundred yuan.
"Dad, Mom, I also want to learn repairs from Sister Cen Yue, and I also want to live a life of luxury all my life!" Zhang Jianbo's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and shouted.
Dong Jinhua looked at her youngest son and smiled, "You are such a smart kid! You are smart enough to immediately think of you and want to learn it!"
"Father, please find some time to talk to Cen Yue and ask her to accept our two sons as apprentices and teach them how to repair things... You must find a way to get her to agree. If she is willing to agree, we can give her the apprenticeship fee and we won't take advantage of her!
If our two sons learn how to repair things, especially tractors and cars, they will be great in the future and will definitely make a lot of money. Look at Cen Yue, she has already earned 160 yuan in just a short time." Dong Jinhua said to Zhang Shengjin.
Zhang Shengjin nodded, "If girl Cen Yue is willing to teach these two boys, and if they can learn to repair tractors and cars, they will be really great in the future and can make a lot of money. It won't be a dream to become a millionaire... But I'm afraid girl Cen Yue won't be willing to teach!" A worried look appeared on his face.
"Although we have a very good relationship with Miss Cen Yue, we are as close as a family, but repair work makes so much money, I am afraid Miss Cen Yue may not be willing to teach me..."
As the saying goes, even brothers settle accounts clearly. Even brothers may not be willing to teach them such a money-making skill. What's more, girl Cen Yue is only as close to them as a family, not a real family. She has no blood relationship with them at all.
"Didn't I just say that I can pay the apprenticeship fee to girl Cen Yue? I won't let her suffer any loss, and my teaching won't be in vain." Dong Jinhua said.
"But it's hard to give the apprenticeship fee!" Zhang Xiaoyun interrupted. "Cen Yue makes so much money repairing things. She has already earned 160 yuan in just a short time. If we give her a few hundred yuan less as an apprenticeship fee, I'm afraid she will feel it's too little and won't want to accept my elder brother and younger brother as apprentices and teach them how to repair things."
"Hundreds? How can we have hundreds of dollars at home?" Zhao Xiaomeng frowned.
After hearing what her daughter and daughter-in-law said, Dong Jinhua looked embarrassed and said to her husband, "Lao Zhang, what do you think?" At times like this, one has to ask her husband, as he always has many ideas and is decisive.
Zhang Shengjin did not answer his wife. Instead, he looked at his eldest and youngest sons and asked seriously, "Do you two brothers really want to learn how to repair things? Do you want to learn how to repair tractors and cars? If you were given the opportunity to learn, would you guarantee that you could learn it?"
"We really want to! If you can get her to teach us, we guarantee we can learn it!" Zhang Jianxing and Zhang Jianbo nodded together and shouted in unison, both with serious expressions.
"Okay, I'll go borrow money and collect one thousand to give to Cen Yue as your tuition. I'll ask her to accept you as her apprentices no matter what and teach you how to repair things. I'll let you learn how to repair tractors and cars!" Zhang Shengjin said loudly with a determined expression.
"You want to borrow a thousand?! Are you crazy?" Dong Jinhua shouted in shock, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
The others also showed extremely shocked expressions and frowned.
"Don't you want your two sons to learn it? You want to pass on such a profitable skill to your two sons. Without one thousand yuan, I'm afraid Cen Yue will not agree!" Zhang Shengjin looked at his wife and said.
Although he thought that Miss Cen Yue could make a lot of money as a repairman, he had never thought of letting his two sons learn from her. Now that his two sons want to learn, his wife also agrees and hopes that they can learn. Thinking about how much money his two sons can make and how bright their future will be after learning, he is willing to borrow a lot of money to help his two sons.
"But it's one thousand yuan! Zhang Shengjin, do you know how much one thousand yuan is? Even if we sell everything we have and go bankrupt, we still don't have one thousand yuan, not even half of it. If you go and borrow one thousand yuan to give to Cen Yue, what will happen to our family?
Even if we sell everything we have and work hard for the rest of our lives, we still can’t come up with a thousand yuan to pay it back. We’re all doomed! If the debt collectors come to our door every day and we don’t pay them back, they might kill our whole family!” Dong Jinhua pointed at her husband and shouted with disapproval on her face.
"Yes! Dad, it's crazy for you to borrow a thousand dollars. This is undoubtedly sending our whole family to death!" Zhang Xiaoyun nodded vigorously in agreement, with a frightened look on her face, obviously strongly disapproving.
"Dad, don't be confused. If you want my husband and my younger brother to learn repair, you can't think of borrowing a thousand yuan! It's too risky! If things go wrong, our whole family will die!" Zhao Xiaomeng also disagreed, with a look of fear on her face.
"Dad, if you go to borrow a thousand yuan, we won't study, right, brother?" Zhang Jianbo was also afraid, and shouted to Zhang Shengjin, and began to back off.
If learning repairmanship means he will have to bear huge debts and eventually kill his whole family, then he will definitely not learn repairmanship.
"Yes. Dad, if you have to borrow a thousand dollars, we won't learn... We can't let our family go into debt and become desperate just for us to learn repairs. That would be a loss...
Although our life is not very good now, it is still good in the countryside. It is good as it is now, and we don't need to learn repairs." Zhang Jianxing nodded in agreement, thinking the same as his brother.
He now regrets saying he wants to learn repairmanship. He didn't expect his father would be so crazy that he actually wants to lend him and his brother one thousand yuan as a tuition fee.
