Chapter 44: Chapter 33.2

After resting for about fifteen minutes, Yi Feng distributed dust masks to everyone and began the major mission of wall chiseling.

Han Nannan, still too young for heavy labor, helped by sprinkling water, sweeping, and organizing tools on the side.

Yi Feng first drew lines on the wall according to the design he had prepared the night before, planning the locations for the sockets, then used a plumb bob to snap the lines, teaching the construction principles to the others as he worked.

These were very basic renovation concepts, easy to learn for anyone with a slight understanding.

After planning, he began drilling holes with a rotary hammer, then used a hammer to knock out the outlined cutouts, creating a box for the socket wires.

Yi Feng was very thorough in his teaching and demonstrated twice, with Han Ping’an listening very attentively and even taking notes on key points.

After practicing a couple of times, Yi Feng handed the rotary hammer to him, and Han Ping’an quickly got the hang of it.

Although his technique was still a bit rough and the lines weren’t very neat, overall, there were no problems.

“Good job, Ping’an, you learned so quickly, you’re very perceptive!” Yi Feng patted his shoulder encouragingly.

Upon hearing this, Han Ping’an, receiving recognition from Yi Feng, couldn’t help but show an excited expression.

For many years, he had hardly received a bit of acknowledgment from anyone, not even from his parents.

Now, receiving Yi Feng’s approval, he suddenly felt his life had value.

That he had a reason to live!

Thus, this simple acknowledgment was a great motivation for him.

“Brother Feng, I’ll do even better!” Han Ping’an said earnestly.

“Alright, this project is quite large, don’t rush. I want better quality work. You’ll be working on your own later, and finishing within half a month is considered completing the mission,” Yi Feng instructed, worried he would prioritize efficiency over quality.

“Mm! Brother Feng, I understand!” Han Ping’an nodded firmly.

“Remember, work from 8 am to 12 pm, and from 3 pm to 5 pm, try not to disturb the other residents’ rest,” Yi Feng said.

“Okay!”

…

Yi Feng explained everything in detail, and Han Ping’an took notes on everything.

After ensuring nothing was overlooked, Yi Feng went with Wang Tie to buy portable beds for the siblings and also bought them some clothes to change into.

The shop had a kitchen, a bathroom, beds, clothes, and food. The conditions weren’t great, but it was livable, certainly better than a windy bridge underpass.

After getting everything settled, Yi Feng and Wang Tie headed to Zhao Xingye’s shop to continue fixing computers.

That weekend, with three more days of computer repairs, Yi Feng earned 1200 yuan. Holding the money in his hand, he felt a strong sense of security.

Money might not be everything, but without money, nothing is possible!

With money, one can have confidence and assurance!

Striving to earn money and improving every day made life fulfilling.

Checking the time, it was already 5 pm, and having finished the work, it was time to head back.

“Boss Zhao, I have to go to school tomorrow, I’ll come over after school,” Yi Feng greeted Zhao Xingye.

“Hey, hey, little brother Yi, don’t rush off. Let’s go out for a meal tonight, I’ll treat, let’s go to Xinxiang Restaurant!” Zhao Xingye hurriedly held onto Yi Feng.

Yi Feng was about to decline when Zhao Xingye continued, “Don’t be in a hurry to say no. Tonight, I’ve also invited Huang He from the Guangxi University of Technology, the employment office teacher.”

“Teacher Huang has a lot of talents under his wing. I think as computers become more widespread, the computer repair business will definitely have a bright future. To expand the business, we need people.”

“Why don’t the three of us have a good chat, maybe we can discuss a bright future?”

Yi Feng was intrigued, not expecting Zhao Xingye to have such connections.

This could be an opportunity to connect with school networks.

However, Zhao Xingye’s plan to lure him into joining might be miscalculated.
